An angel who descended to Earth with duty of &quot;broadcasting&quot; Queen&#039;s Blade fights. Because of her goofy actions, Head Angel put her on probation and exiled to the mortal world. She was given a vial of &#039;holy milk&#039; twice by the Head Angel, which she must not allow even one drop to be spilled. First time served a test which, in which she spilled of it and tried to fool Head Angel by filling the vial with Earthly milk. Second vial was given to her when she was ordered to enter Queen&#039;s Blade tournament, but this time, the more she spills, the weaker she becomes. Since she completely failed to keep the milk safe last time, Head Angel is confident that this will serve as a handicap! Unwilling to treat dwellers of the &quot;lower world&quot; as equals, her combat technique involves the telekinetic manipulation of her celestial saber to keep opponents at bay. She is illustrated by Kuuchuu Yousai.

In a land where a queen is chosen every few years solely by winning a tournament, there can be no short supply of formidable opponents. For one woman warrior however, an early defeat clearly shows her that she is lacking in experience though she may be bountiful in body. 
Fortunately, while defeat could spell one's doom, her life is saved by a powerful stranger. But unfortunately for this savior, less-than-pure motives and shrewd family members mean her reward is a prison cell. Her release is prompt when the unseasoned warrior she saved, tired of her current lifestyle of nobility, sets off to prove herself.

After experiencing the numerous trials encountered on her journey, Reina has grown as a warrior. Determined to take part in the Queen's Blade tournament, she arrives at the capital city Gainos, where Queen Aldora awaits. There gathers a number of beautiful warriors who, like Reina, are there for the Queen's Blade. 
Amongst them is Reina's sister, Claudette, determined to restore the glory of House Vance; Tomoe and Shizuka, who are both fighting for their homeland of Hinomoto; Nanael who has been ordered to participate by the Archangel; and the subordinates of the Marshland Witch. 
All these beautiful fighters who gather in Gainos have been one objective, to win through the Queen's Blade, the tournament to select the strongest, most beautiful queen. Who would ascend to that glorious throne? That can only be determined via battle.
