Appearance
Tracy is a young attractive woman with blonde hair with ringlet curls, blue almond-shaped eyes, and voluptuous breasts.

Personality
Tracy is known for being a battle nut among the Imperial Family, to the point that even her own father considers her to be abnormal. Whenever she engages in a battle that she enjoys, she can be overcome with ecstasy.

Tracy is blunt and unafraid to disrupt the atmosphere in the area due to her obsession with fighting. She is fundamentally apathetic toward other people, including members of her family, and will only interact others that she is genuinely interested in. She is also belligerent and hates to lose.

While she is not fighting, Tracy is able to present herself in a regal manner, as befits a princess.

Tracy is somewhat naïve due to her blunt and honest nature, and can be easily manipulated with the right incentive.

Despite possessing a warrior's mentality that is shared amongst her family, Tracy is considered to be the most open-minded out of all of them, and acknowledges that the future of the empire's prosperity is dependent on being able to adapt to the changing times, and the importance of teaching its future rulers on being able to learn new values.

Biography
When a party to commentate the engagement between Prince Baius and Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh of the Heiligh Kingdom was taking place in the empire, Tracy did not attend due to the apathy she had for her half-brother. during the event, she was confronted by members of the Haulia Tribe rabbitmen when they invaded the imperial palace. They had infiltrated her room (with the aid of Hajime Nagumo) and filled it with sleeping gas. Tracy, however, managed to remain conscious by stabbing her arm with a knife in order for the pain to keep her awake. Shocked by Tracy's fighting spirit, the rabbitmen in charge of capturing her would eventually subdue her after she was hit with many paralyzing blow-darts from a distance. After Cam Haulia bested Emperor Gahard in combat and forced him to comply with his demands, Tracy, along with the rest of her family (except for Prince Baius due to having been killed during the Haulia's attack) were forced to wear cursed Artifacts called the "Necklace of Vows" that would kill them if they either failed to honor their promise or attempt to remove them.

When the empire was preparing for the final battle against humanity's self-styled god Ehit, who was planning to wipe out all life on Tortus, Gahard forbad Tracy from participating due to her position as next in line for the thrown after her two eldest half-brothers Baius and Trek were killed during the Haulia's attack against the empire. Tracy, however, refused to comply and decided to sneak out and fight anyway. Before heading off into battle, she visited the empire's treasury in order to procure an Artifact that she could use for battle. The guards at the treasury attempted tp stop her, but she managed to overpower them. It was then that one of the weapons in the deepest recesses of the vault, the scythe "Egxess", unleashed a wave of black mana in response to Tracy's desire to fight. Tracy then took Egxess and participated in the battle against Ehit's forces while using her father's earring Artifact that disguised her appearance in order for her not to be discovered.

When the battle against Ehit ended in victory for Tortus' forces, Gahard soon learned of Tracy's involvment, and punished her by refusing to properly heal her from using Hajime's Artifact "Last Zell", which temporarily granted her the Skill "Limit Break", but left her in a severely weakened state. In addition, Egxess was draining Tracy's mana to the point that she was dying from the severe fatigue. Gahard attempted to heal Tracy after three days, but she refused due to wanting to overcome her ailment without any help. After a month of enduing such physical hardships, Tracy managed to fully recover, as well as obtaining the ability to use "Limit Break" on her own. At some point during her recovery, Tracy and her family had their cursed necklaces removed.

Despite having just survived such a horrible ordeal, Tracy wished to challenge Hajime's companion Shea Haulia to combat due to the lingering impression the Haulia Tribe had on her when they invaded the imperial capital. When she arrived at the beastman nation of Verbergen, however, Shea had already left to go to Earth with Hajime and the others. Tracy then devoted herself to training in order to prepare herself to fight Shea one day. She even went so far as to challenge the Great Reisen Labyrinth, but was unable to conquer it after losing to the final boss (which had actually been replaced by Hajime with his own golem "Super Miledy G").

When Hajime and his family was visiting the empire as part of their holiday vacation in Tortus, Tracy barged in the imperial throne room where they were and demanded to fight with Shea, to which she reluctantly accepted. Despite Tracy's best efforts (including using Egxess and her "Limit Break"), she was defeated when Shea punched her while using her "Body Strengthening Level V" and her "Steel Clothes" spell. After Tracy was healed up by Kaori Shirasaki, Hajime spoke with her in private about recruiting her to be part of a top-secret project after having been impressed with her combat skills, and promised her to upgrade Egxess for her if she accepted, as well as the opportunity to fight with Shea again, to which she happily agreed to. Gahard, however, already planned for her to succeed him as the empire's next ruler, and attempted to stop her from accepting Hajime's mysterious proposal, but was stopped when both Hajime and Tracy exposed a controversial painting hanging in the thrown room that he tried to conceal after it had been previously forced upon him by the Haulia Tribe. As Gahard and his retainers were frantically working at covering up the painting once more, Tracy offered Hajime and his family to be their guide while they were visiting the empire.
