Characters from  include:

Prier
Heroine and main character of the game. A junior demon hunter who dreams of becoming the next Maiden of Light, but acts nothing like it.

She eventually becomes a Demon Overlord instead, and has appeared as such as a cameo in every Disgaea game.

"Culotte: But if you think about it, you'd make a much better demon lord than a Maiden of Light..."
 * Amazonian Beauty
 * Badass Arm-Fold: Does this when she gets pissed.
 * Beneath the Mask: Prier always try to look strong and not look weak, especially in front of Culotte.
 * Blank White Eyes: When shocked or stunned, along with Sweat Drop.
 * Boobs of Steel: Prier is like the poster girl of this trope.
 * Cool Big Sis: To the orphans in town. Eclair also refers to her as "Big sister".
 * Cross-Popping Veins
 * Dangerously-Short Skirt: Her dress is so short, the apron is all that prevents a Panty Shot, and as the heroine, she always fights in this outfit.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Fireball Eyeballs: When angry or feeling particularly pumped up about something.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: She has a nasty uppercut that is powerful enough to not only for the opponent to reach the moon but obliterate it and that is without being an Overlord. Prier is a Badass Action Girl.
 * Hartman Hips
 * Kewpie Doll Surprise: When shocked.
 * Kick Chick: Prier's primary weapon is her baton, but she's just as likely to kick ass with her powerful legs. Her foot is capable of smashing even the strongest of steel doors.
 * Mama Bear: Prier doesn't take kindly to people who threaten her little brother.
 * Morality Chain:.
 * Naughty Nuns: To her defense, Father Salade gave her the clothes.
 * Nun-Too-Holy: For someone aiming to be The Maiden of Light, she sure likes her violence and rudeness.

"You always looked the prettiest when you were smiling."
 * Promotion to Parent: Although they grew up in a orphanage, Prier tries to act like a mother figure for Culotte.
 * Second Love:.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Mastiff gave her name as "Prier", while Atlus and NISA use "Priere".
 * Even Japan seems unsure if her name is supposed to be Prier or Priere, using both names on the official website and in official materials.
 * Sweat Drop: So many times, she has her own personal animation.
 * When She Smiles: According to Alouette.


 * Why Can't I Hate You?:.
 * Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: When frustrated.


 * Absolute Cleavage
 * Amazon Brigade: Often turns up with a small group of female-only demons backing her in her cameo appearances.
 * Badass: There's plenty of demons born as Overlords or those who become Overlords, but Prier is one of the few humans in the Disgaea universe who became one through sheer power and Level Grinding. That's pretty badass.
 * Bonus Boss: Is often one in Disgaea games.
 * Boobs of Steel: Just like her normal form, but they're even more obvious now.
 * The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Seems to have happened to her in some of the Cameo appearances, and can happen to her in the Overlord Prier story of the remake of La Pucelle.
 * Evil Costume Switch: And you thought her first outfit was bad enough...
 * Cleavage Window
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Leotard of Power

 * Fallen Hero: She can become one.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Or she can not.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Glass Cannon: When Prier becomes an Overlord, she trades defense for attack. If you thought being hit by magic hurt before...

 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Power Gives You Wings
 * She's Got Legs
 * Sideboob and Underboobs
