A Princess is an individual with a special power that can protect the stars. Princesses work alongside a Samurai and a Key Holder, forming a Trinity that protects the galaxy. The Princess duty is to find the Locker Balls.[1]

Individuals who train to be Princesses start out with the rank of Apprentice Princess . The be initiated as an Apprentice Princess, a girl must find a Locker Ball of Fate (運 (うん) 命 (めい) のロッカーボール Unmei no Rokkā Bōru?) to use for a series of initiation rites using their Sixth Sense.[2] The Samurai created from their first Locker Ball found will become that girl's Samurai of Fate (運 (うん) 命 (めい) の侍 (さむらい) Unmei no Samurai?).[3]After their Samurai of Fate is born, a girl officially becomes a Princess. Though they only have one Samurai of Fate, Princesses may be responsible for the birth of other Samurai too.[4] Also, a Princess' Samurai of Fate does not have to be a Bushi, and they can be born without undergoing the normal ritual.[5]

All Princesses serving in a castle are submitted to a Head Princess . One responsibility of a Head Princess is to select Bushi who complete training to undergo the ritual to become a Samurai. A Bushi chosen by her is said to have 99% of surviving the ritual seppuku and activating a Locker Ball.[6]
