Aisha Udgard (アイーシャ・ウドガルド, Aīsha Udogarudo), later renamed Aisha U. Elfrieden (アイーシャ・Ｕ・エルフリーデン, Aīsha Udgard Erufurīden), is one of the female protagonists of Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki (How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom).
Belonging to the Dark Elf race, Aisha is initially the self-appointed bodyguard of Kazuya Souma, driven by her loyalty and admiration for him. Over time, she is recognized for her dedication and combat prowess, leading to her becoming one of the kingdom’s queens as the “2nd Primary Queen” candidate. Despite her new title, she continues to serve as Kazuya’s personal bodyguard, a role she takes immensely seriously. She was first granted the title of 『Kochiji』 (“Dame of the East Wind”), which later changed to 『Kochiji-hi』 (“Dame-Queen of the East Wind”) upon her engagement to Kazuya.
Background
Appearance in anime
Aisha hails from the Dark Elf territory of the Elfrieden Kingdom, known for its deep connection to nature and magic. She was raised with strict warrior training, making her one of the most formidable fighters of her race. Her sense of duty, honor, and unwavering loyalty to the kingdom led her to volunteer as Kazuya Souma’s personal bodyguard, swearing to protect him with her life.
Her devotion to Kazuya gradually evolves from mere loyalty to deep affection, eventually earning her a place as one of his queens. However, even after becoming royalty, she insists on remaining his protector, believing that her duty is not just to love him but to ensure his survival at all costs.
Appearance
Aisha has long, silver hair and pointed ears, distinguishing her as a Dark Elf. She has a strong and athletic build, reflecting her warrior background. Her violet-colored eyes give her a striking presence, often glowing with intensity when she is in battle.
She typically wears a battle-ready outfit, consisting of light armor that allows for speed and mobility, though she will dress formally when required as a queen. Despite her graceful and elegant features, her stance and expressions often reflect her readiness for combat, making her an intimidating but noble presence.
Personality
Aisha Udgard is fiercely loyal, honorable, and deeply devoted, embodying both the spirit of a warrior and the kindness of a guardian. She is steadfast in her duty, pledging her unwavering protection and loyalty to Kazuya Souma, whom she respects not just as a ruler but as the person she loves most. Her sense of duty and honor makes her a disciplined and reliable ally, always prioritizing the safety of those she is sworn to protect.
Despite her warrior-like nature, Aisha is also earnest, kind-hearted, and somewhat naïve, especially in matters of romance. She openly expresses admiration and affection for Kazuya, sometimes to embarrassing or comedic levels, but her sincerity makes her endearing rather than overbearing. While she is highly skilled in battle, she lacks subtlety in social situations, often acting before fully thinking things through. Her straightforwardness, combined with her protective instincts, sometimes leads to over-the-top reactions when Kazuya is in danger. However, beneath her sometimes clumsy expressions of devotion, she is a deeply caring individual who values her role as both protector and partner. Her strong will and compassionate nature make her one of the most dependable figures in the kingdom.
