Biography
Euphemia li Britannia (Japanese: ユーフェミア リ ブリタニア, Hepburn: Yūfemia ri Buritania) was a female human born the daughter of Emperor Charles zi Britannia and one of his wives that were part of the Royal Family of the Holy Britannian Empire. It was noted that she was the younger sister of Cornelia li Britannia who adored her sibling. As a member of the Royal Family, she came to possess many half-siblings among which included Lelouch vi Britannia and his young sister Nunnally vi Britannia both of whom Euphemia was close with in her youth.
She jumped from her window several stories above the ground and lands in Suzaku Kururugi's arms. They spend the day in Area 11 and Euphemia goes under the name Euphie, which becomes the nickname that Suzaku and Imperial Family call her by. They become friends quickly and Euphemia, after revealing her identity as the Third Princess of Britannia, asks that he help her prevent any unnecessary deaths. She attended Prince Clovis' funeral and heard her father the Emperor of Britannia make a speech on the virtues of inequality and the social battle for evolution and betterment. When she is taken hostage along with a group of tourists by the Japan Liberation Front at the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel, Euphemia attempts to use her position to free the other hostages. Lelouch, in his Zero persona, has incidentally led the Black Knights to the same location, and the two meet. Lelouch remarks that Euphemia had not changed since childhood and was not surprised to see her act in such a manner. Though he brandishes a gun at her, he decides against killing her.
Concerned about Euphemia's safety, Cornelia persuaded her younger sister to select a Knight to protect her. After resolving the conflict between her own ideals and Cornelia's advice, Euphemia chooses Suzaku Kururugi. Cornelia worries that Euphemia's ideals will get her sister into trouble and warns Euphemia that the policy of discrimination against Honorary Britannians like Suzaku is so firmly established that she might have to be exposed to the rigours and dangers of competing for the throne in order to challenge it and that it is better if Euphemia were to be the Empress to change such policy. Regardless, Euphemia adamantly sticks to her decision and Suzaku remains her Knight until he voluntarily steps down after he is arrested for deserting the front lines during a battle against Zero. Euphemia goes into a state of depression as she feels she is useless and the blow of Suzaku leaving her but an encounter with Nina allows her to discover that she has developed feelings for Suzaku. Suzaku at that moment goes into battle with a new prototype that is connected to Lancelot. His energy levels drop, and Euphemia makes a transmission and declares that she orders him to love her and in return she will love every bit of him. Suzaku reciprocates the feelings and declares his love for her. Euphemia then convinces him to rejoin her as her knight.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Euphemia li Britannia was a female human noted for being very beautiful with pink hair that reached below her waist. It was usually styled downwards with two buns on each side of her head while she has curly bangs hanging on the right side of her face, bluish-violet eyes and she is taller than average height. To those close to her, she went by the nickname of Euphie.
Although Euphemia was a member of the Britannian royal family, she remained kind-hearted and open-minded to everyone around her and treats everyone with respect even if they are not Britannian; this universal respect probably stems from her own childhood experiences with her siblings Lelouch vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia whose mother wasn't from the nobility and thus were looked upon with disdain by the other members of the Britannian Imperial Family.
In her childhood, she was quite close to Lelouch and Nunnally.
She came to be the second person in the Imperial Family to discover that Lelouch was alive and the first to know his alter ego as Zero. The latter she came to had deduced after the hotel hijacking incident.
Whilst in Area 51, she came to develop a close, romantic bond with Suzaku Kururugi because of their shared belief that a problem must be changed from within.
