Broken Princess is a book series by M. Hadley. So far, the first volume was released in 2017, but the series is on hiatus because the author is working on other projects.In Ancient Japan, the city of Edo was living peacefully when out of nowhere, mechas, tanks, and other futuristic war machines attack it unprovoked. Princess Himiko, Edo's superpowered defender, attempts to fight back and protect the people, but is eventually knocked out and buried under rubble. When she wakes up and frees herself, the attackers are gone, but the city has been burned to the ground and everyone, including the children, has been killed. Desiring vengeance, Himiko tries to find the attackers' trail, but suddenly finds herself in the futuristic city Megacity Yamato. She quickly runs afoul of the city's police force, the Public Guardians, whose logo is identical to that of the attackers, though they don't know who she is or what she is talking about. Her only allies are a group of rebels against the city for the rights of Bions, human-looking robots who are discriminated against.M. Hadley's Deviantart page has several illustrations related to the story and previews for future volumes. | |

"It" Is Dehumanizing | |
| Broken Princess / int_16ad6f7f | comment |
"It" Is Dehumanizing: Everyone calls the Bion by terms like "it" or "that thing". They do the same to Himiko after mistaking her for a Bion, but the Public Guardians keep doing it after learning she is human since she has superhuman abilities. The rebels are the only ones who call Himiko by name. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
| Broken Princess / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: Kitty and Nene wear Public Guardian uniforms to sneak up and help Himiko when she gets arrested the first time. They quickly get found out because their uniforms are old and they do not have comm links to communicate with the others. | |

Technologically Advanced Foe: Ancient Edo did not stand a chance against nearly indestructible war machines. Even the superpowered Himiko has trouble dealing with the weapons and devices of the Public Guardians. | |

Anachronism Stew: Himiko wears a sailor fuku, lived in Edo instead of Yamatai, and mentions meeting people like Oda Nobunaga, Katsushika Hokusai, and The 47 Ronin. All of these existed centuries after her time. | |

The World Is Just Awesome: Himiko dismisses Megacity Yamato as a land of monsters, metal, and lifelessness at first. When she is rescued from a prison transport in the sky, she looks down and sees the city from above with all its towers and lights and admits it is beautiful. | |

Shoot the Hostage: When facing a tank, Himiko uses a Public Guardian as a shield, but the tank's operator, Dai, fires anyway. The explosion knocks Himiko senseless and apparently vaporizes the hostage. | |

The Ending Changes Everything | |
| Broken Princess / int_7d3f1d63 | comment |
The Ending Changes Everything: In the ending of Volume One, the rebels discuss that Himiko is actually the Spire, a clone of both Orochi and Kushinnada, the girl who was to be sacrificed to it. The Spire is meant to cause extinctions, then the cult the Order of Kushinnada took her, tortured and brainwashed her, and the rebels have footage of this. This raises the possibility that Himiko's memories of Edo and its massacre were only a simulation or implanted memory. | |

Revenge Is Not Justice | |
| Broken Princess / int_8355aa1b | comment |
Revenge Is Not Justice: Himiko wanted to kill all the Public Guardians and everyone associated with them after believing they were the ones who attacked Edo. She is visited by the spirit of her father, who reminds her that the Retribution part of the Nemesis Code calls for a just punishment. He tells her to investigate and find out who is really responsible to bring them to justice. | |

Badass Creed | |
| Broken Princess / int_86c192f4 | comment |
Badass Creed: Himiko has the Nemesis Code: "Truth. That which cannot be disputed. Rectitude. Conformity to truth and righteousness. Courage. The ability to confront evil, the opponents of truth and righteousness. Benevolence. Kindness for all things great and small. Respect. Deference to all, even my adversaries. Loyalty. Eternal duty to the Code and its tenets. Purity. As an instrument of the Code, I can never be contaminated by the forces of evil. Retribution. Just punishment for evil rendered." | |
