Biography
Kougyoku Ren (Japanese: 練 紅玉, Hepburn: Ren Kōgyoku) was a female human who was the daughter of Koutoku Ren where she was part of the royal family of the Kou Empire. Her mother was but a lowly courtesan whose name was unknown leading to Kougyoku being considered of lowborn status though part of the Royal Family. Her father later ascended to the throne following the death of his brother with Kougyoku becoming the eight Imperial Princess of the empire. Initially, she spent time alone and struggled in social interaction as she had no friends where she was forgotten by everyone and felt out of place. When she was 9 years old, the Imperial Palace dispatched an administrative assistant to serve her with this being Koubun Ka alongside his two aides. The shy Kouguoku could not speak to her assistant but he forced her to recognise her status as princess of the Kou. Kougyoku though believed that he was trying to be her friend and she accepted this offer where she worked harder in fulfilling her duties as the youngest daughter of the Emperor. During this time, she met her older half-brother Kouen Ren and the Kou's Magi Judar where the two acknowledged her as a King Vessel with her giving a position as a warrior of the empire. Kougyoku was later responsible for capturing the 45th Dungeon where she obtained a Djin named Vinea with this being achieved with the help of her assistant Koubun Ka.
Kougyoku arrives in Balbadd, at the Fog Troupe base. She saves Judar, after his defeat from Ugo, along with her assistant Koubun Ka. Looking at Ugo, she asks what's up with this monster and if he had not bullied their cute Judar too much. Koubun notes that they barely managed to save him. Upon hearing it, Kougyoku adds that he's badly injured and commands him to save Judar, as it won't be a joke if he dies. Then, Kougyoku notices that Ugo still wants to fight. She decides to be his opponent. She uses her Djinn Weapon Equip but after a moment of the battle which she fights with a smile, she becomes more serious and drills a hole through her enemy, thus, defeating him. She comes back to Koubun and asks how she did and about Judar's condition. As they are about to leave, Aladdin gets angry at her for attacking Ugo and tries to attack her. She asks about Aladdin's identity and comments, "So repugnant...". She wonders about Aladdin's intentions, stating that she merely saved him and his comrades from that monster, but upon learning that Ugo was on Aladdin's side, an enemy whom Judar attacked, she orders Enshin, Entai and Engi to kill the Fog Troupe's members while she will take care of Aladdin. Then she comments with a smile that everyone seems happy and decides to get serious as well. She gets ready to fight him, but her Djinn Equipping is stopped by Sinbad, much to Kougyoku's astonishment. Sinbad, while holding Kougyoku's hand, notes that she must be the Kou Empire's Princess. After his introduction, Kougyoku stares at him and starts blushing. Embarrassed, she takes her hand away and calls him an insolent man for holding her for so long. Sinbad apologizes but adds that he had to stop her. He says that since they are people of royalty, they should not have a dispute in a place like that and he would like to meet with her somewhere more appropriate. She gets embarrassed and agrees with him. Then, the Princess tells her subordinates that they will return. Before doing so, she explains Sinbad that they were not returning because of him. While covering her face with her hands, she gets on her Magic Turban and flies away.
