User:Kirbybuncle/Draft:Accursed Knights
The Accursed Knights (呪騎士) are a series of 5 characters introduced in Puyo Puyo!! Quest, with its 6th member, Crowlas, being introduced later. They are an order of knights hailing from a "certain kingdom" who each suffer a curse due to the weapons that they wield. They often travel as a group in search of a way to cure themselves, to little avail. Still, it appears that all of the knights are close enough to consider each other friends, and make it a priority to look out for each other.

Hilda is a knight who wields the Blade of Mirth, inflicting her with the Curse of Perpetual Ever-Impending Laughter, which causes her to laugh uncontrollably at almost all times. She used to be a very serious and stoic person, but her curse has shifted her disposition to be peppy and entertaining, making her very popular to those around her. As such, she has become a sort of 'life counselor' to the other knights, acting to cheer the others up when she can. She often finds great humor in even the smallest of things. She suffers from stomach pains due to her excessive laughing.
Trivia
- It's implied that Otsukimi Knight Hilda's outfit was originally created for Friede, but Hilda decided to wear it instead.

Eldur is a knight who wields the Axe of Fury, inflicting him with the Curse of Delayed Speech, which greatly impairs his verbal response times. He has an intimidating face which, coupled with his curse, often gives people a fearful impression of him, which is stated to be his primary source of stress. In reality, Eldur is a very soft and caring person who worries for those around him. As he was already taciturn before gaining his curse, he believes that his curse is preferrable to that of the other knights.

Friede is a knight who wields the Broadsword of Despair, inflicting him with the Curse of Attaching 'Pyon★' to the End of Every Sentence. He is greatly concerned with his popularity. He also constantly flirts with any woman he meets, often eliciting negative responses, which Friede wrongfully assumes is a result of his curse. As such, he spends most of his time searching for a way to undo his curse, fearing any blows to his percieved popularity. However, he also tries to convince others that his own speech habits are 'in-style'. His dialogue implies that he's beginning to warm up to his curse.
Trivia
- 'Pyon' is the Japanese onomatopoeic word for 'Boing'. Fan translations often vary between the two terms.
- Friede makes Pyon★ noises in his sleep.

Wacht is a knight who wields the Javelin of Terror, inflicting him with the Curse of Insect Noises Ringing in the Ears Whenever Sleepiness Approaches, which renders him unable to willingly fall asleep. He's usually in a state of delirium as a result, often muttering to himself and complaining about his lack of rest. He is described as having a volatile temper which is impossible to quell, and has little patience for those around him. He got his pillow specifically designed for him, but as it was unable to help him sleep, he now uses it as a shield.

Mappela is a knight who wields the Hammer of Ruin, inflicting her with the Curse of Oozing Hands, which causes her to drop things and trip constantly. She is very outgoing, but is known for being clumsy due to her curse. The ooze from her hands and feet can spread onto other objects and the area around her, which can cause others to trip as well.
Trivia
- Despite being called a hammer, Mappela's weapon more closely resembles that of a mace.
- According to Friede, Mappela can cook and her best dish is nattō, a Japanese dish that is notoriously slimy.

Puyo Puyo!! Quest information | |
Crowlas is the reigning monarch of the kingdom from which the accursed knights originate. He wields the Cane of Arrogance, inflicting him with the Curse of Perceiving Others as Crows. Contrary to his knights, Crowlas actually embraces his curse due to his immense love of crows. He is an accomplished king who goes out of his way to help others, and he dedicates much of his time to researching curses in the hopes of helping his knights find a cure. However, he has ulterior motives for this, as he can't percieve those who bear curses as crows, a fact which seems to annoy him. He is described as spontaneous and has a habit of talking exclusively and excessively about crows. He is shown to look out for his knights, and is contended if they are enjoying themselves, even on missions where they are unsuccessful.
Trivia
- The Cane of Arrogance is a relic that has been passed down Crowlas' royal family for generations. He inherited it when he was young.
- Crowlas is physically unable to be separated from his cane, implying that that the same applies to the other knights.
- During Puyo Puyo!! Quest's 11th Anniversary popularity poll, Crowlas ranked as the 3rd most popular blue card.
- Crowlas was the only character originally from Puyo Puyo!! Quest to rank in the top 3 of any color.
Relationships
- Hilda and Friede
- The two appear to be good friends, and Friede never tries to take their conversations in a romantic direction, something that is uncharateristic for him. During the Moonlit Uncursing Tour, Hilda teaches Friede how to dance.
- Hilda and Crowlas
- During the Moonlit Uncursing Tour, Crowlas appoints Hilda as the captain for the trials, citing that she takes her knighthood seriously. This seems to imply that he has an increased level of trust in her own capabilities.
- Wacht and Crowlas
- Despite their difference in status, Wacht tends to be a little snappy with Crowlas, expressing annoyance at the king's obsession with crows. However, Crowlas doesn't seem to mind that much, and the two clearly respect one another.
- Friede and Witch
- Witch unsucessfully tries to free Friede of his curse at his request, by giving him a potion that unintentionally turned him into a giant rabbit. Witch seems to feel remorse and take pity on Friede, and is even willing to give Friede a complimentary potion for the trouble she's caused him.
- Wacht and Mel
- The two have conversed multiple times in the hopes that Mel's magic would be able to help Wacht sleep. However, Mel is unable to help him each time.
- Mappela and Kikimora
- Kikimora first is annoyed at Mappela for dirtying an area she had cleaned prior, but once she realizes that Mappela's slime is able to clean out small crevices, she uses her to clean other areas of Pwurp Island. Mappela later requests that Kikimora clean her slime, but she is unsuccessful.
