"Marincess" (海晶乙女 (マリンセス) Marinsesu) is an archetype of female WATER Cyberse monsters used by Skye Zaizen in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.

Design

Appearance

Similar to the Trickstars, Skye's previous main archetype, the Marincesses are all women dressing in various colorful attires, with the distinction of them dressing similar to royalty and with a secondary design of the various sea creatures being incorporated into the clothing. Due to being created by the Water Ignis, they have a blue or purple tint somewhere around themselves. Their crest or logo is similar to the gem at the center of Marincess Crystal Heart, which could be a reference to the Heart of the Ocean, a necklace from the 1997 Film Titanic which had a blue diamond in the center.

Etymology

"Marincess" is a portmanteau of "Marine" and "Princess". Their kanji translates a "Sea Gem Maiden", which seem to be more or less, another transliteration of their English name.
