Scrapped Princess (??????·????? ,Sukurappudo Purinsesu?) is a Japanese light novel series by Ichiro Sakaki and illustrated by Nakayohi Mogudan, a popular adult dojin artist. In 2003, it was adapted into an anime series produced by Bones. The character designs in the anime are by Takahiro Komori, who is also known for the designs on another anime series, Cowboy Bebop.
Scrapped Princess is notable for high quality animation, its music, which is composed by Masumi Ito, and its themes. It begins as high fantasy and then quickly mixes into varying degrees of post-apocalyptic and science fiction elements through the application of Clarke's third law. The atmosphere has undertones of sadness, though many of the characters and situations are superficially light-hearted.
The anime is distributed in the United States by Bandai Entertainment. There is also a manga adaptation which has also been published in the US by Tokyopop. The manga is only three volumes, and has no plot overlap with the anime; the only things in common are the three main characters, the idea of the Scrapped Princess, and the Mauser Faith they are running from. Three of the original light novels have been translated into English by Tokyopop.
Story
The story takes place in a fantasy world and revolves around a 15-year-old girl, Pacifica Casull, who is a girl child born in a set of twins into the royal family of the kingdom Leinwan and then abandoned. The 5111th Grendel Prophecy predicts that she is the "poison that will destroy the world" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. As a consequence, she is dropped off a cliff as an infant. Believed to be dead, no one realizes her continued existence until after Pacifica is already 15 years old.
Pacifica is rescued by a court wizard and adopted by the commoner Casull family. Her foster siblings- Shannon, a swordsman, and Raquel, a wizard, become her protectors. Both siblings are extremely powerful, and more often than not they easily break out of whatever difficult situation they face.
Her siblings travel with her throughout most of the story, protecting her from the numerous attempts on her life by people who fear the outcome of the prophecy, should she survive. Both siblings' skills see constant use. By contrast, Pacifica is a mostly typical fifteen-year-old, and her inability to defend herself is a recurring source of self-doubt for her. As the series progresses, the truth about the prophecy slowly comes to light, and even as the more of the truth is revealed, more questions arise. Pacifica must discover her hidden destiny, even as powerful beings that are not human who are supposedly the gods of this world - continuously fight against each other, over her fate, seeking to either protect or destroy her. It turns out that Pacifica is not in fact "a poison who will destroy the world" but in fact mankind's last hope, and all part of a plan. A plan that was set in motion a long time ago by highly intelligent and advanced beings called Peacemakers.
Before the Genesis Wars, Peacemakers were made to seal in humans to protect them from destroying themselves and the world around them. The Peacemakers were able to do this with the help of Seria Mauser, whom they encouraged to leak information to them in exchange for her two siblings' protection. It turns out that she was too late, as her siblings died, and Mauser branded a traitor. Mauser was kept in an area of phase space in a sort of virtual reality for 5000 years while mankind continued to live on unknowingly in a cage.
The Peacemakers watched over mankind, occasionally wiping out much of the population to keep the level of civilization down so mankind would not find out that they were trapped. As the Peacemakers put it, "You don't know you are trapped if all you've ever known is your cage." Humans are unwillingly controlled by Peacemakers, just by looking a Peacemaker in the eye, humans must obey them. However, this ability is ineffective only on Pacifica which makes her the Peacemakers' prime target. Pacifica's negation abilities are also referred to by a disease, in that it spreads to the people around her. This is extremely useful in cases where the Peacemakers have taken control over a crowd of people. Furthermore Pacifica cannot be directly attacked by any Peacemaker, thus she is usually attacked indirectly by a controlled human or group of humans. Although Pacifica's ability is only used when she is experiencing intense anger or fear, her true ability is supposedly supposed to awaken on her sixteenth birthday, though it is never shown in the anime.
