Hecate

Also known as ヘケート (Hekēto)

Hello, My Name (in English) is…

Hecate’s name is the same in both Japanese and English.  She is named after the Greek goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy.

Distinguishing Features

Despite her tomboyish nature, Hecate is an extremely pretty young girl, with huge bright eyes.

Status: Secondary Star (★★)

Hecate is a wild, playful, and tomboyish girl. Although both her parents (Mephisto and Madam Hell) are desperate for her to become ladylike and marry Prince Franz –  to the point of trying to steal Sapphire‘s female heart and implant it in her – Hecate has no interest in giving up her wild days of adventuring and turning into a cat just for kicks.

Notable Roles

Although she has no known appearances outside her debut role as Mephisto’s daughter “Hecate” in Princess Knight [Shojo Club] (1953-56), and as Madam Hell‘s daughter “Hecate” in the Princess Knight [Nakayoshi] (1963-66) remake, she was a memorable and integral part of the supporting cast in both versions.
