Inglis Eucus (イングリス・ユークス, Ingurisu Yūkusu), is the main protagonist of the anime and light novel series Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire (Eiyuuou, Bu wo Kiwameru Tame Tenseisu – Soshite, Sekai Saikyou no Minarai Kishi e). Once a legendary Hero-King in her previous life, Inglis was reincarnated as a beautiful young girl with a burning desire to pursue martial excellence. In her new life, she chooses not to pursue power or politics, but instead seeks strength for its own sake, hoping to face and defeat the strongest opponents the world has to offer.
Despite her unorthodox background and her lack of a formal knight’s brand, Inglis becomes one of the most admired figures at the Royal Knight Academy, revered for both her exceptional combat prowess and stunning appearance. Her journey is defined by the thrill of battle, her deep loyalty to her friends, and her relentless pursuit of self-improvement.
Background
Appearance in Anime
In her former life, Inglis Eucus was a renowned male Hero-King, celebrated for uniting and protecting his kingdom through strength and wisdom. As he neared the end of his reign, he was granted a final wish by a goddess he had served loyally. Rather than choosing eternal peace or power, Inglis asked to be reborn in a future era where he could perfect his martial skills without the burdens of leadership.
Reincarnated as a girl in a more advanced world, Inglis retains the memories and instincts of her former life, but embraces her new identity fully. She begins life anew with her childhood friend and cousin, Rafinha Bilford, training and serving as her squire due to her status as an “unbranded” someone without the necessary mark to become an official knight.
Appearance
Inglis is a strikingly beautiful young woman with long silver-blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. Her delicate features and noble air often draw admiration, and her radiant presence earns her the nickname of the “Academy’s Top Idol”. Despite her elegant exterior, she possesses a well-toned, athletic body due to her intense training regimen and love for combat.
She wears the Royal Knight Academy uniform during official duties, often customizing her attire with subtle personal touches. Her expressions often shift between graceful serenity and fierce determination, especially when she finds a worthy opponent to challenge.
Personality
Inglis is confident, curious, and fiercely driven by the desire to grow stronger. As a former king, she carries herself with wisdom and grace, but her passion for battle often overrides her sense of decorum. She can be playful and teasing, especially with Rafinha, but always remains deeply loyal and protective of those she cares about.
She finds great joy in fighting strong opponents, treating every duel as an opportunity to evolve. Inglis is not motivated by fame, rank, or wealth only the thrill of combat and the dream of reaching new heights. While she is mature and insightful, her obsession with strength sometimes borders on reckless, leading her into dangerous encounters simply for the sake of challenge.
Role in the Story
Rebirth and Resolve: Reincarnated centuries after her previous life, Inglis begins her journey anew as a young girl in a world transformed by time and technology. She trains rigorously from childhood, hiding her immense power from most people while keeping her former life a secret.
Squire to Rafinha: Due to being unbranded and thus disqualified from becoming a full-fledged knight, Inglis becomes the squire of her cousin and best friend, Rafinha Bilford. While serving Rafinha, Inglis uses her role as an excuse to roam the land and seek strong fighters, often becoming the real powerhouse of their duo.
Royal Knight Academy: Upon enrolling in the Royal Knight Academy, Inglis quickly rises in prominence thanks to her beauty, charisma, and overwhelming strength. She becomes known as the school’s “top idol,” admired by peers and mentors alike. Despite her status, she continues to challenge strong opponents, often stealing the spotlight from more seasoned fighters.

Academy Peers and Mentors: Inglis earns the respect of many at the academy, though she often unintentionally intimidates others due to her unmatched strength. She forms friendly rivalries with other students, always eager to test their limits in sparring matches.
Goddess Alistia: The divine being who granted her reincarnation. Though rarely seen, the goddess’s influence is significant, having answered Inglis’s wish to seek ultimate martial refinement in another life.
