Princess Principal Synopsis
In the early 20th century, the discovery of the Cavorite substance enabled the production of advanced military technology and led the country into conflict. London is now divided by a wall, and they fight a silent war where espionage is the only weapon that can destabilize the enemy. A group of girls from the prestigious Queen’s Mayfaire School work as undercover spies for the Commonwealth.
Led by Dorothy, a seasoned driver with a striking personality, her group includes the talents of Ange le Carré, a skilled sniper liar; Chise, a competent samurai; and Beatrice, a specialist in imitating the voice. They use their unique individual abilities to survive in a dark world full of conspiracy, mystery, and infiltration. In the shadow of war, they have only one goal in mind: complete their mission.
