Carroll

Carroll (キャロル Kyaroru) is a major villain and later ally in Succubus in Wonderland. She is the second daughter of the Queen of Hearts and the younger sister of Lewis.

Appearance
Carroll has pale skin, long blue hair tied into twintails, and dark blue eyes. Like most succubi, she has an hourglass figure, curved horns, bat-like wings and a spaded tail. Her clothing consists of a bikini, collar, long detached sleeves and thigh-length high-heeled boots, all black with blue decorations and white frills. In her first few appearances, she wears a gold-framed white mask that covers the upper half of her face.

Personality
In contrast to her sister, Carroll is cold, ruthless and (initially) loyal to her mother. She remains loyal to the Queen of Hearts even after the latter's shift into a tyrant who imprisons and executes succubi on a whim. She obeys her mother's orders to bring back the runaway Lewis, and even has Lewis raped by other succubi as part of this order.

Beneath this facade, however, Carroll is worried about her mother's change in personality. After talking to Lewis, she eventually changes her mind and decides to join Lewis in bringing their mother back to their original personality.

Carroll has a sense of superiority towards her sister. She often mentions how her magical power and sexual skills are better than Lewis', and delights in trying to steal Reto away from Lewis.

Carroll also seems to have a slightly ditzy side. When pursuing Lewis across the world, she wears a mask to cover her face but doesn't do anything else to change her appearance, yet apparently expects this to hide her identity from her sister. She stops doing this when Lewis points out how useless this disguise is.

Background
Carroll and her sister were created out of the Queen of Heart's magical power. They lived a happy childhood in the Mysterious Castle with their mother. Carroll did, however, have stronger magic than her younger sister.

One day, the Queen was cursed by the White Rabbit, causing her to change into a cruel tyrant. Lewis ran away from her family, looking for a way to restore her mother to normal, while Carroll remained loyal to her mother.

Succubus in Wonderland
One day, a human boy named Reto ends up in front of the castle. Lewis approaches him and offers to help him return home, while Carroll (now wearing a mask) watches their conversation from a distance.

Carroll follows the two as they travel across the world, though always from a distance.

At one point, Carroll receives a report from two of her subordinates. One of the subordinates grumbles about how the Queen has changed and says she prefers the old one. Carroll warns this subordinate that such words would normally be punished with execution, but she'll let her off this time as a reward for her information. She then tells her two subordinates to gather some powerful succubi for a certain purpose.

At Atuchu Cave, Carroll sets a trap for Reto and Lewis: she uses a pitfall trap to separate Reto from Lewis, and has three powerful succubi attack Lewis to drain her power. She introduces herself to Reto and says that she plans to just rape him a little before letting him go, but she'll be bringing her sister back for re-education. She then attacks Reto. Due to the difference in power, she easily makes him ejaculate, but then decides to give him a handicap by only using her hands. When Reto is now able to resist, she decides to retreat, but warns Reto that Lewis is merely using him and succubi can never be friends with humans. She says she'll tell him the full details when they next meet and bids him goodbye.

Carroll then reports to her mother that she has caught some criminals. The Queen of Hearts asks about Lewis, so Carroll admits that she failed to retrieve her. The Queen orders her to bring Lewis in for re-education, and warns Carroll to remain obedient lest she meet the same fate.

Carroll then confronts the two in Zendegee Forest. Lewis points out that the mask doesn't actually hide her identity, so Carroll stops wearing it. Carroll reveals to Reto that Lewis is simply raising up him to feed on his power, and is lying about helping him return home. Lewis admits this was her original plan but she now only wants to help him. Carroll attacks but is defeated by the combined efforts of Reto and Lewis. The succubus sisters get into an argument over what to do regarding their mother. Lewis claims that Carroll is similar to her in that they both want their mother to return to normal. Carroll denies this and storms off, while saying she won't forgive Lewis if she hurts their mother.

However, Carroll considers Lewis' words offscreen and eventually changes her mind. She goes to Proof Undersea Tunnel and finds Reto surrounded by slimes, so she blasts the slimes away with magic. It turns out that Lewis has been kidnapped by slimes, so she offers to accompany Reto in her sister's place. Together, they defeat the Slime Queen (who was responsible for the slimes' organized attacks) and rescue Lewis. Carroll reveals how she now wants to work with Lewis to break their mother's curse, and that she's also run away from home.

Finally, the trio return to the castle and confront the Queen of Hearts. She declares that, as punishment for her daughters' disobedience, she'll return them to magical power and then remake them as obedient slaves, but the sisters do not falter. The Queen offers to reduce Carroll's punishment if she betrays the other two. Carroll pretends to accept this offer, but instead hits the Queen with a spell that harms only the evil. Eventually, a fight begins. The Queen has incredible power that makes her seemingly invincible, but Carroll and Lewis appeal to her original self, causing her power to gradually fade. Finally, the Queen is defeated and Carroll uses her spell again, breaking the curse.

Back to her original personality, the Queen thanks them and says she'll make amends for everything she's done. She provides Reto with a key that will let him return home. The three succubi say goodbye to him, though add flirtatiously that he can always come back to them. Reto uses the key and disappears. The Queen then tells her daughters to prepare balloons as they'll make this a Hearts Day that everyone will remember.

The credits roll, showing the succubi celebrating Hearts Day by releasing balloons. Carroll and her family are among them, and they release three balloons from the castle roof.

However, the story does not end there. The White Rabbit sneaks into the castle with the goal of cursing the Queen again, only to be foiled by Reto and Lewis. Afterwards, the White Rabbit suddenly changes to a different personality, one that's unaware of the situation. Carroll arrives and explains that the White Rabbit was herself a pawn of someone from a different world, though that someone won't be able to act again for some time as they'll need time to recover their power. The succubus sisters decide to continue investigating this matter.

Strategy
The first battle is fought with Reto alone. Carroll is far too powerful to be defeated at this point normally. She will do nothing on her first turn, then use a powerful attack on the second turn that will inevitably bring Reto's Vigor to 0. As usual, Reto will recover to 50% Vigor. Afterwards, Carroll will use much weaker attacks, and will occasionally skip her turn again, making her possible to defeat. Use Pussy attacks to defeat her. One thing to watch out for is that she occasionally gives herself a buff that increases her Skill and Endurance: while this buff is active, you may wish to focus on defending rather than attacking.

In the second battle you can have an ally, and it's ideal to have someone of the Clubs suit in order to counter Carroll. Ironically, Lewis (despite being treated as your ally in the cutscenes) is a poor option for this battle, since she's of the Hearts suit and thus weak to Carroll.

Recruitment
Carroll is recruited in Proof Undersea Tunnel. Shortly after Lewis is kidnapped by slimes, Carroll will join the party.

Stats as a companion
Carroll has the rank Queen of Spades (♠ Q). When recruited, she is level 30, has 2113 Vigor and 676 Stamina, and knows all Lv1 and most Lv2 skills, as well as Kiss Lv3, Wait, Shellfish, Endure and Observe. Shortly after being recruited, she will explain how she learned a skill to fight slimes, after which she will learn the Energy Shot skill. She also learns a special skill (shared with Lewis), Aura of the Royal Family, after her and Lewis' combined H-scene with Reto (this can be obtained by sleeping in the bed in Mel Village after recruiting Carroll and rescuing Lewis).

Trivia
