The female swordfighter is a regular enemy in the 1989 side-scrolling arcade game "Castle of Dragon" (キャッスルオブドラゴン) by developer Athena.
Appearance[]
The female swordsman has reddish-brown hair worn in a ponytail. She is equipped with a blue-green leotard-like armor and is armed with a sword and shield.
Overview[]
"Castle of Dragon" is a 2D action game with an orthodox storyline in which the protagonist, Duke, heads to a castle inhabited by dragons to rescue a kidnapped princess. The game was also ported to the Famicom under the name "Dragon Unit", but the female swordfighter does not appear in this version.
The villainess appears in STAGE 2 and is the only enemy type in the area. Her movements are simple in that she will walk around slowly and sometimes jump. Her weapon is a sword, but rather than slashing directly, she attacks by throwing the sword at the hero. The thrown swords do not return to the enemy, but instead a new one spawns in her hand.
The first time that the female swordsman is attacked, she guards herself with her shield. However, when attacked again, she screams and lets go of her sword and shield at the same time, and her body explodes after spurting out a lot of blood from her shoulders and at her thighs, where the hem of her armor is.
