Priere
From Disgaea Wiki
Priere, originally known as Prier, is the main character of Nippon Ichi game La Pucelle: Tactics and has since made a number of appearances in the Disgaea series. In her original game she was a skilled demon hunter, and rather powerful for being human, but appears as an Overlord from an alternate Netherworld in the Disgaea games. Her appearance as an Overlord is a reference both to one of the endings of La Pucelle and the Japanese belief that one who kills 1000 demons will become one.
An updated re-release of La Pucelle, known as La Pucelle: Ragnarok, has a side story following Priere after she becomes a Demon Overlord.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] La Pucelle: Tactics
In La Pucelle Tactics, she's an apprentice Demon Hunter. Priere's heart is in the right place, but she is also impatient, selfish, and has a short temper. Priere usually carries a baton, but more often uses her legs in combat. She later gains an infatuation with Croix as the story progresses.
Her later appearances are a reference to an alternete ending in which she becomes an Overlord after becoming too powerful in the Dark World.
[edit] Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
In the first Disgaea game, Priere appears as a bonus boss in the final map of the Alternate Netherworld stage. At level 2000, she is one of the strongest bosses in the game, and even Etna had heard of her, saying that nobody who fought her lived to tell about it, though Laharl claims he'll be the first. Defeating her results in Priere joining the party. She attacks with her baton. Interestingly, her aptitudes are the inverse of Marjoly's, another bonus character.
[edit] Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
In Disgaea 2, Priere does not appear as a playable character. Passing a certain bill, however, will result in her appearing in the Dark Sun World.
She becomes a playable character in Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days, the PSP remake of the second game.
[edit] Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
In Disgaea 3, Priere is a DLC character, and can Magichange into a baton (treated as an Axe weapon). Raspberyl has heard of her, and this encourages Mao to battle her. After her defeat, Mao recruits her, saying that "Her dark powers will grow under his tutelage.", though Almaz says that made him sound like an evil cult leader.
[edit] Etymology
Priere is French for "prayer". In La Pucelle, her name was romanised as "Prier" ("to pray").
