Lupusregina Beta

Lupusregina Beta (ルプスレギナ・ベータ, Lupusregina・β) is a werewolf battle maid and a member of the "Pleiades Six Stars," the battle maid squad of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She was created by Beast King Mekongawa.

Appearance
Lupusregina Beta is a brown-skinned beauty with an athletic look and red hair tied in two long braids. She wears a maid uniform with short sleeves and long black gloves with a skirt that has a long slit on its left side, revealing thigh-high white stockings. She is equipped with an imposing black and silver scepter slung across her back.

Personality
Lupusregina Beta has a very bright and outgoing personality but is able to act accordingly like a perfect lady. She is sociable and friendly towards humans. However, this is only a mask to conceal her brutal and cunning personality. She also enjoys making lewd jokes to people like Enri.

Lupusregina tends to use her 'Complete Invisibility' spell frequently in order to appear behind someone's back without being detected, as she loves to startle people. Yuri has claimed that Lupusregina can be as sadistic and evil as her sister Solution. The author Maruyama has stated on Twitter that during a full-moon at nighttime, she becomes a little bit crueler.

Lupusregina is considered the friendliest of the battle maids by the Homunculus Maids. They also think that being approached by her is a sign of good fortune.

In the Web Novel, she is not a sadist, just a cheerful character who loves to eat.

Background
Lupusregina Beta was created by Beast King Mekongawa to be one of the battle maids, the Pleiades. They served as a last line of defense against intruders. However, because she is unlikely to be able to stand against enemy players who managed to come this far, her only real purpose was to distract the invaders until the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown were able to fully prepare for their final stand in the throne room.

The Undead King Arc
Lupusregina, along with her sisters, are ordered by Momonga to guard the entrance of the 9th Floor. She and the other Pleiades are on standby and waiting.

The Two Leaders Arc
Lupusregina is given a mission to spy in Carne Village and to protect three people in the village: Enri Emmot, Nfirea Bareare, and Lizzie Bareare. She visits the village with stone golems to help with the construction of the new wall. She is also the one responsible for delivering the alchemical items and apparatuses to the Bareares. She follows Enri, Nfirea, and the goblins when they explore the Great Forest of Tob in order to search for both herbs and information about the forest. She receives a newly developed potion made by the Bareares, and Nfirea wants her to report the news about it to Ainz. When Enri decides to make some drinks, she asks Lupusregina if she knows how to make delicious drinks. In response, Lupusregina claims that she knows how to, but she serves only the Supreme Beings as a maid and thus she does not help other people with chores and prefers instead to laze around.

Although the inhabitants of Carne Village decide to protect their village from the possible attacks of the army led by the Giant of the East and the Demon Snake of the West, Lupusregina suggests asking Ainz for help since he will easily solve the problem. However, Enri rejects her idea of asking help from Ainz a second time, stating that they should do as much as they can by themselves without depending on their savior too much. After hearing her answer, Lupusregina has a disappointed look on her face but says that they should work hard to keep the village safe. Once Ainz hears the news of Enri being present in E-Rantel, he scolds Lupusregina in his office for her carelessness and tells her to take her job seriously.

Afterward, Lupusregina talks with Enri about the matter of her being appointed to be the new chief of the village. Lupusregina gives her some advice, saying that it doesn't matter if Enri is the chief or someone else is the chief because she will mess up sooner or later. She says that there are only forty-one people who will never make a mistake and that there is no point worrying about what happens when Enri fails and that nobody is better suited for the job than her. Lupusregina also tells Enri that if the goblins can't save the village, they will prioritize her safety first. However, if she is the chief of the village, then this scenario will change as the village will become her property and they will fight to protect the village to the bitter end.

Shortly after, Lupusregina sees the villagers gathering in the village square because Enri has been appointed as the new chief. Yuri Alpha appears behind her and asks about Carne Village, saying that was the reason she got scolded by Ainz. Lupusregina says that a new leader has just arisen and wonders what kind of faces the villagers will make if they are attacked and everything is set ablaze, much to Yuri‘s displeasure. During the attack by monsters from Tob Forest, she saves Nfirea from the Giant troll and kills it.

Later, Lupusregina and Yuri escort Enri, Nfirea, and Nemu Emmot to Nazarick through teleportation as Ainz wants to give them a reward for the newly developed potion made by the Bareares.

The Maid Tea Party Arc
Lupusregina is absent from the monthly Pleiades report and tea party because she is busy over at Carne Village under Ainz's order.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Lupusregina participates in Demiurge's plan to make Momon a lasting hero in the Re-Estize Kingdom. She plays the part along with the other battle maids to act as Jaldabaoth's underlings with her face disguised with a mask. She partners with Solution Epsilon and Entoma Vasilissa Zeta. They fight against Nabe and continue to do so until Jaldabaoth orders a retreat.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Lupusregina, along with her fellow Pleiades, except for Narberal, encounters Dragon Hunt on the surface of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. They are sent to see if the Nazarick Old Guarders are able to capture enemies trying to escape from the tomb. To her and the other Pleiades' surprise, Dragon Hunt decides to stay and fight. She and her sisters try to cheer for the Dragon Hunt workers, but they are easily slaughtered by the Nazarick Old Guarders. Afterwards, Yuri orders her and the other maids to check if there are any survivors.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
Lupusregina and Yuri greet the delegation from the Baharuth Empire right outside of the borders of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Later on, Lupusregina returns to her post at Carne Village, whilst invisible, as she observes the attack by the Crown Prince. During the battle, she is surprised when Enri summons an entire goblin army to defend the village.

After the attack on Carne Village, Prince Barbro's remnant army retreats back to Katze Plains until Lupusregina appears in front of them and tells the group that she has been observing their situation for a while now. Lupusregina summons thirty level 43 Redcap goblins and then orders them to kill everyone present before her. At the same time, she personally tortures Prince Barbro for half an hour before he dies from the torment.

The Pleiades Day Arc
Lupusregina is present in the room she shares with Yuri and Narberal. Lupusregina is relaxing, eating a bag of potato chips when she notices how tense Yuri is as she has no work to do. Lupusregina's ungraceful eating habits attract Yuri's attention, who begins to lecture her on manners.

Accord to Yuri, Lupusregina's task is to observe and remain alert while preventing the leakage of the technologies developed within Carne Village, among other colorful tasks besides protecting Nfirea and the Emmot siblings.

Later on, she and Narberal approach Ainz to give Yuri a new task, presumably to get her off their backs.

The Craftsman of Dwarf Arc
Lupusregina arrives at Carne Village to inform Enri that she will not be around to visit them for a while. She explains that Ainz seems to have been defeated in battle and has died.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
Lupusregina is present in the log cabin during a meeting between Albedo, Demiurge, and her master. She pulls out a chair for Ainz to sit on and then kneels down on the floor while waiting for further instructions. When the two Floor Guardians act hostile toward one another, Lupusregina begins panting heavily out of fear.

As Ainz bows his head down on the table for forgiveness, the Floor Guardians order the maid to lift their master's head up. However, she rejects the Floor Guardians' order, apologizing to them while stating that she can not carry out that kind of action to her own master by force. While Ainz begins prepping up his plan with Albedo and Demiurge, Lupusregina stands by and whispers in amazement after what has transpired in this meeting.

Lupusregina is present with Yuri during Ainz Ooal Gown's secret conversation to Jaldabaoth. Later, at the appointed time for Ainz's duel with the Evil Lord and the Pleiades, Lupusregina is replaced by a Doppelgänger from the Erich String Orchestra so Ainz will not be restricted in holding back to kill.

Mass for the Dead Arc
At the time of the Great Tomb of Nazarick's transfer to the New World, Lupusregina Beta was among the NPCs that were killed in the transition. Momonga finding the dungeon in ruins due to the strange Cracks and overrun by Chaos Beasts quickly revived her and the Pleiades with magic. Unfortunately the maid suffered a severe abnormal drop in levels since her revival as did the other NPCs that were brought back to life. When the protagonist appeared before Momonga who was suspicious on the identity of the homunculus, Lupusregina can be one maids that vouches on his identity as being a creation of Beast King Mekongawa. After the protagonist leaves with a Redeem Slime summon and Narberal Gamma, Lupusregina is left with the remaining Pleiades in Nazarick. To rebuild Nazarick, more information was needed to determine the new phenomena that was now affecting the dungeon. Thus Momonga had the maids train to prepare for a survey of the Cracks. When they were deemed ready Lupusregina and her sisters investigated the Cracks, fighting the Chaos Beasts to learn its secrets.

To avoid Nazarick being detected, Lupusregina was assigned to work with Mare to disguise the surface of Nazarick. Whilst altering the terrain of the landscape, Mare's magic disturbed a nest of Forest Worms prompting Lupusregina and Aura to fight them. They also have a close call when a human scout approaches the area, but Lupusregina and her comrades quickly capture him to be interrogated. Lupusregina with the rest of her sisters greeted Narberal Gamma upon her return from the outside world. From the doppelgänger she gained some insight on human society and started practicing on how to communicate with them by referring them as "maggots". It gained some attention from Sebas Tian and Momonga who intervene to correct some misconceptions and focus their training on hospitality. The maid would also serve as a messenger, relaying various communications throughout Nazarick and monitoring the Crack in the Throne Room.

Lupusregina would be asked by Cocytus to train with him, alongside Narberal Gamma. The two maids obliged and sparred with the Floor Guardian and were initially happy to help. But as the training became more intense, the two maids began to worry, bringing the issue to Albedo who notified Momonga. After Cocytus's session with the Overlord of Nazarick, the Pleiades members were poleaxed when Floor Guardian decided to allow for breaks. While patrolling a Crack on the Throne Room with Yuri, Lupusregina noticed Yuri to have something on her mind, though the other maid stated that she was fine but in reality was concerned with the discarded piles of debris. Accepting her words, Lupusregina excused herself, not knowing that Yuri would institute a plan to clean the piles on all the floors.

While guarding the Crack on the 6th Floor, Lupusregina faced an increase number of Chaos Beasts coming from the anomaly. One nearly go through the perimeter but the maid managed to kill it before it got away. Though she believed it to be no issue, her laxity of the seriousness of subjugating Chaos Beasts angered Momonga who reprimanded her for not reporting the increase in monsters. The maid was pulled from patrol so that she could reflect on her actions. Disappointed in herself and wishing to get back in Momonga's graces, Lupusregina took Cocytus's advice to consult with the protagonist. From him the maid learned the concept of "Ho-Ren-So" and put all her effort in improving her work ethics. The next time she was assigned a task, Lupusregina impressed Momonga on her diligence that he forgave her for her previous blunder. Her use of "Ho-Ren-So", causes Sebas Tian to have an idea to bringing an air of hospitality in Nazarick to provide a bit of relief to the work focused Floor Guardians. As part of his initiative, Lupusregina served to tea and snacks to Demiurge and Albedo while they were reviewing Nazarick's defense plan.

Later Lupusregina posed as an emissary from a distant country and sold ores to E-Rantel from an abandoned mine near the city. When visitors from another world came through the Crack on the 10th Floor, they were given sanctuary until Nazarick could find a way to return them back to their world. Meanwhile the visitors were asked to assist them in subjugating the Chaos Beasts that infested the Throne Room. One of the visitors, claiming to be a goddess, requested to be excused from the defense as it would require her to fight alongside the undead, which she had a phobia. Lupusregina who was chaperoning them permitted it. The maid would also join Cocytus's team, Cocytus and the Pleiades, for the Nazrzick Fighting Tournament which became the winners of the tournament. And also help to prepare for Nazarick's Christmas party, by making Christmas Cakes, though would annoy her sisters when she ate the ingredients.

When a being named Shiramochi-ō placed a spell over Nazarick, causing all the NPCs within the dungeon to fall under a New Year's celebration. Lupusregina and her sisters were compelled to go to Fake Nazarick to serve as guards for a Chaos Zone that took shape there. Lupusregina and her sister Yuri were placed to guard a [Gate] behind the area called the Takemikazuchi Shrine that led to the replica of the Throne Room. They would not allow anyone to pass even Momonga unless they were challenged and defeated. Momonga would defeat Shiramochi-ō though just before he met his end, the White Mochi King used the last of his power to turn back time, creating a loop of the events that saw Nazarick fall under his spell. Though in this new timeline, Lupusregina and her sisters challenged Momonga with a karuta game. The spell under Lupusregina would eventually be broken thanks to a repentant Shiramochi-ō sacrificing himself, though her memories while under the mental influence would be erased.

 * (To Enri about becoming the Chief of Carne Village): "Aw, do I have to answer you...hm, well, whatever.

Think about what kind of things you can and can’t handle."
 * (To Enri): "This is just my opinion anyways; you should probably decide what you want to do on your own. Sit down, chew the cud a little, that sort of thing.
