Murder Princess

The story begins with Dr. Akamashi, introduced as a scientist formerly in the employ of the government, launching a coup d’etat in the Forland kingdom.

The kingdom switches the Princess for her Hand Maiden Milano who is killed in the beginning at the hands of the Dr.'s evil group.

While running, the princess falls off of a cliff and onto Falis, an infamous female bounty hunter. Due to the nature of the near-death experience (referred to as a spiritual commutation) the souls of Alita and Falis are switched.　

Alita pleads with the bounty hunter to protect the Forland kingdom, offering herself, body and soul, as collateral. Falis agrees.

Falis is a strong bounty hunter and fierce not afraid of anything and will take on anyone or anything. Her sword is called Himetsuru (Crane Princess). She gets the name of Murder Princess because she takes over the kingdom and she is fierce and strong warrior.

Great action, humor, great battle scenes. A fun anime. The bounty hunter group have a great relationship and are fiercely loyal. You really route for Falis to teach the bad guys a lesson. Alita is very timid but you like her due to the fact she admires Falis and wants to be like her.

Dominikov bounty hunters is a Shinigami but in the anime he becomes a cyborg.

Pete Armstrong = Fellow bounty hunter working for Falis. While he is big, ferocious, and overpowering in hand to hand combat, beneath his purple skin is a gentle soul. Like Dominikov, Pete is a cyborg in the anime version.

Jodu Entolasia =Butler of Forland Kingdom's royal family.

Milano Entolasia =The real Milano, Alita's maid and granddaughter of Jodu. She disguises herself as Princess Alita to buy Alita time to escape from Akamashi's coup d'etat, but is killed while carrying out that role. Alita later assumes Milano's identity.

Enemies

Dr. Akamashi =Formerly a scientist working for the late King Forland. He has abused lost technology entrusted to the Forland royal family, and conspires to take over the kingdom in order to gain complete possession over said technology. He seeks to capture Alita alive. Akamashi is an expert in creating artificial lifeforms, be they of flesh and blood or of metal.

Little Kids:

Ana= One of Dr. Akamashi's robotic bodyguards. Ana is built in the shape of a little girl with technology originating in "the Old World".

Yuna=One of Dr. Akamashi's robotic bodyguards, built in the same manner as Ana. Contrary to Ana, however, she is timid and shy, albeit with a tendency of going berserk and letting loose her firepower upon everyone in sight if Akamashi is in grave danger.

Cecilia=A sorceress who is tracking Alita's every move.

Prince Kaito aka The Dark Knight=Prince of Forland, Kaito is Alita's older brother and eight years her senior. She speaks of him fondly, bragging of his swordsmanship as well as his kindness. Prince Kaito left the country to hold peace talks with Forland's western neighbor, the kingdom of Grandel, but no one has heard from him since. When he comes back, it is revealed that he is the man clad in a heavy, dark-colored set of armor that accompanies Cecilia.
