—Maschenny about Ha Yuri Zahard [3] |
Khun Maschenny Zahard (쿤 마스체니 자하드, Kun Mahseuchehni Jahad) is a Top 100 High Rankers in the Tower from the Khun Family and the owner of the Yellow May, one of the 13 Month Series. She is the only Zahard's Princesses in the Khun Family to be awarded with a 13 Months. She is a direct descendant, biological daughter of Khun Eduan and Khun Maschenny.
Appearance and Personality
Maschenny is a pale-skinned, tall woman with an hourglass figure, very long light blue hair and blue eyes. In her most recent appearance, she wore a dark-colored outfit.
She has been shown to be extremely haughty, stating Ha Yuri Zahard, a prodigy even in the ranks of a Princess, was only a novice and should hand her 13 Month Series weapons to her. She has a short temper and calls Yuri a "bitch" for denying her rights over her weapons. Being a member of the Khun Family, it can be assumed that she is decisive and cunning.
Later into the series, when King Zahard commands his army to fulfill one of the three orders, Maschenny gathered her troops to where Ha Jinsung is. She was very manipulative as she tricked her troops into thinking her and Jinsung were fighting but she was actually telling important secret information to Jinsung so he can hurry to the last station to save the boy which the king has noticed his existence. She reappears later to backstab Ha Jinsung while he was trying to stop Kallavan from going to the last station to kill the regulars.
She is shown to be a sarcastic individual, asking her subordinate if they want her to bow for her "mistake". She also said that the smell of blood gets her in the mood for a fight, hinting a sadistic persona.

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
Prologue
She appeared very briefly in the second season as she was exiting Repellista Zahard's residence. Encountering Yuri Zahard, the two had a heated conversation with Alumik Edrok noting how well the two 'got along'.
Tower of God: Part 2 - The Hell Train
The 'Name Hunt' Station
Shilial Zahard claimed that she and her sister were allied with Maschenny.
Maschenny asked Ha Yuri Zahard to make a bet with her, wagering her Yellow May against Yuri's Green April.
Three Orders
After Zahard gave out his three order, Maschenny and her troop went to the 91st Floor and engaged in combat with Ha Jinsung. She tricked her troop into thinking they were fighting and secretly tells Ha Jinsung the army's plan. She tells Jinsung that King Zahard has already noticed the existence of an Irregular and ordered his army to kill him and everyone else on the Hell Train.
Tower of God: Part 2 - The Last Station
Kallavan
During the fight between Ha Jinsung and Kallavan, Mashchenny Zahard took an opportunity to backstab Jinsung while his arms were being crushed by Kallavan. She impaled Jinsung with her spear through his back. After Kallavan rushes through the warp drive to the Last Station, a severely injured Jinsung asks Maschenny what she is after. Maschenny states that her goal isn't much different than Jinsung's, she just believes she needs to shed more blood for it to occur and continues to electrocute an injured Jinsung.
New Wave
At the same time as the battle at the Last Station ended, Maschenny and her prison ship are in the airspace where Ha Jinsung and Kallavan fought. She alludes to keeping Jinsung alive for his "impressive connections". When Jinsung asks where Baam is, she tells him that he is alive. She also states why she captured Jinsung and her goal of changing the Tower into a bloody mess, by using Baam to incite a war between the major powers of the Tower that have been kept in balance until recently: The Ten Great Family Leaders and their direct descendants, the Slayers and Elders of FUG, the disciples of the Workshop, Wolhaiksong, ancient warriors who have disappeared from the rankings, and finally, King Jahad and the Princesses. She read ancient books detailing the battles and believes the current era is dull and trivial comparatively. Jinsung tells Maschenny that she overestimates herself and is acting like she knows something she has never experienced. He explains that she knows nothing about those "ancient beasts" that she mentioned, and even less about Baam, as nobody knows what Baam will become.
Tower of God: Part 3
The Nest
After Princess Maschenny received an update on the battle at the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence, she began talking to herself about The Nest and The Frozen Waterfall. She said Ha Jinsung is sealed inside the Frozen Waterfall as a bargaining chip but she believes it is just an excuse and its real reason was to lure the Irregular and his companions to them and wipe them out.
Later she is shown to be talking to the Corp's Commanders in a room. In response to Yasratcha's question of wondering why the Irregular is so special that needs two entire corps, she tells him that the Irregular managed to escape from the 4th army corp at the Last Station and also officially beat a Ranker from the Ranker Administration Office on the 50th Floor. While the two corps commander was arguing, Maschenny interrupts them and tells them to forget the past. She noted that only the Lo Po Bia Family sent a decent amount of troops. She has also noted conflicts between great families and FUG's action has started because of the Irregular.
Powers and Abilities
She is an extremely powerful Ranker, being one of the top 100 High Rankers.[2] She also owns the Yellow May and was one of the Rankers who assisted in capturing Eurasia Enne Zahard (who is ranked 7th). She was also shown to be able to clash with Ha Jinsung, a fellow top 100 High Ranker, while being acknowledged by him to be holding back.
Lightning Barrier: She can create a wide range powerful lightning barrier to protect a large number of Floating Ships of the Zahard's Army, as shown by how she protected the left side of the middle group squad behind her with a barrier, while the entire left wings squad of suspendships was totally destroyed by Jinsung's Red World (Water Drop) to dust.[4]
Maschenny Style: Lightning Spear Technique (마스체니식: 전창술, Mahseuchehni-sig: Jeonchangsul): A technique invented by Maschenny herself, described as the "Ultimate spear technique". It allows the user to take on a Spear Bearer position without being armed with spears. In Maschenny's case, her Lightning Spear is far stronger than a usual High Ranker's spear technique. It is currently unknown if she suffers the same side effects that Ran does, who claimed he could not use the technique often.
Maschenny Style Spear Skill - Tres Cuemos (마스체니 식 전창술 세개의 뿔, Maseucheni Sig Jeonchangsul Segaeui Ppul): An extremely long fork-like spear that is carrying a condensed Baang of electric shinsu. She threw the baang at Jinsung, causing both attacks from Jinsung and hers to collide, resulting in a huge explosion.

Quotes
- (To Ha Yuri Zahard) "If you don't like all this fuss, just give up being a Princess. Then the whole Tower will stay quiet about you."[10]
- (Talking to Ha Yuri Zahard about the 13 Month Series bet) "Haven't you always wanted this Tower change? If we make a bet and you win, it will be the first time that a Princess has three of the 13 Month Series. Which would mean that you could bring change to this Tower far more than anything that you can do right now."[11]
- (To Ha Jinsung) "Even if you say the rage has hardened and sunk in your mind, I don't understand how it could just fly away in the wind like that. It gets more intense and clings to you even more firmly as time passes and you recall those memories. That is the kind of emotion that rage is. And as long as that rage lives, war can break out at any time."[12]
- (To Ha Jinsung) "Don't be so impatient. The smell of blood hanging in the air is what gets me in the mood for a fight."[4]
- (To Ha Jinsung) "My goal is not much different from yours. What you want is what I want. I just happen to think I need to shed more 'Blood' for the sake of my goal!!"[13]
- (Talking about Baam to Ha Jinsung) "You sure love that student of yours. Imagine a High Ranker putting his life on the line for the sake of a Regular. You and I want the same thing. I just think a bit more 'Blood' needs to be spilled. Don't you think it's a bit silly to expect the world to change by just sitting around and playing babysitter like you?"[14]
- (Talking to Ha Jinsung about her purpose) "I'm going to make this Tower a bloody mess. The Ten Great Family Leaders at the top of the Tower and their direct descendants. The slayers and elders of FUG. The Disciples of the Workshop, shrouded in secrecy. The new powers emerging in the Tower, headed by Wolhaiksong. And the countless ancient warriors who disappeared from the rankings at some point. And even King Zahard and his Princesses. All of these people who have maintained a careful balance of power this whole time, keeping an eye on each other, are gradually beginning to fight each other. I have been reading the ancient books for a long time, waiting for the moment where those battles would take place before my eyes. Compared to back then, the current peace is so trivial and dull. Ahh, that's right. Maybe I'm just a nut who can't live without blood and fighting. And one of the keys to opening the door to those battles is the Irregular you trained."[14]
