"Unbelievable!! There's something wrong with this world...!! Cammy has to change it herself! Wanting something doesn't make it come true! It's just not fair!!!" — Camilla Hui Guo Rou in "Nen Beast" |
Camilla Hui Guo Rou (カミーラ=ホイコーロ, Kamīra Hoikōro) is the Second Prince of the Kakin Empire and the daughter of her father's second wife, Queen Duazul. She is the eldest female among the 14 siblings.[2]
Appearance
Camilla's appearance
Camilla is a beautiful woman with long, fair hair worn in an intricate hairstyle, with some locks falling on her back, others being tied above the nape of her neck and four framing her face. She has clear eyes and long eyelashes.[2]
In her first appearance, she is seen wearing a necked dress and a tiara. In general, she seems to wear fancy dresses. During the ceremony, Camilla wears a mermaid dress, and for the formal party, she wears a splendid long dress with sophisticated embroidery and two luxurious necklaces. Her hairstyle during the party is also different, resembling a large beehive style, though some of her locks are still falling around her face.[2]
When Camilla sets out to eliminate Benjamin, she wears a simple dress with bolero jacket and long, black boots. Her natural hair is rather messy.[3]
Personality
In outward appearance, she seems to have charming and elegant mannerisms.[4] However, like her elder brother, Camilla has no problem in eliminating her siblings in a sadistic way, though she prefers to do it through easy, but heartless method; for instance, she orders her own mother to assassinate her biological younger brother.[5] According to Shimano, Camilla only listens to the King.[6]
She is also a spendthrift, as she is fond of shopping on branded, expensive and limited edition items, and collects the entire series of them. During her meal with her mother, she orders her to buy several of them.[5] Because of this, her sister Tubeppa feels that she is greedy and despises her for it.[7]
Camilla refers to herself in third person and using the nickname "Cammy", although she also refers to herself in first person at times. She is actually a conceited woman who wants others to think the way as she does—such as thinking she would be the next king while her siblings should just die on their own. She has no respect for her older brother Benjamin and ignores her father's order to show deference. She views herself as someone who could change the "wrong" world.[1]
Plot
Succession Contest arc
Camilla participates to the ceremony on the eve of the beginning of the expedition. She then attends a formal party. Like the rest of her family, she resides in the 1st deck of the Black Whale 1.[4] Camilla's Guardian Spirit Beast is revealed during the party she attends.[7]
Camilla talking to her father
During one of the parties, she approaches her father and asks him to clarify the interpretation of "survival" and "dropped out" from the Succession War. Nasubi informs her that the 3rd Prince Zhang Lei already asked the same question, so Nasubi would give the same answer: the one sole survivor is the official heir to the throne and Camilla is free to interpret what it means, as it is also part of the war. Benjamin overhears the conversation and tells Camilla that if she wants to be king, she does not need to worry about others' interpretations. Camilla exclaims that she only wants people to do as she wants, including for her siblings to die on their own. Benjamin calls her conceited and unfit to the throne. She curses at him, but their father orders her to show respect for her older brother. Instead of conceding, Camilla merely brushes them both and walks away. Her Guardian Spirit Beast begins to transform as she thinks the world is unfair. Later, Camilla orders her bodyguards to kill anyone who comes near and to call her mother, Queen Duazul.[1]
Camilla on her way to kill Benjamin
In her room, Camilla dines with her mother. She discusses her plans to kill Benjamin and Halkenburg first. and subsequently orders her mother to get closer to Halkenburg. When Queen Duazul expresses her misgivings, Camilla sternly orders her to follow.[5] She Camilla rejects Kurapika's offer to have her Royal Bodyguards learn Nen.[8]
Camilla is resurrected by Cat's Name
On the second day, she acts to kills Benjamin. Confronting Musse, she divulges her plans to kill the First Prince, demanding her guard join her, offering the soldier the chance to choose between assisting her or dying.[9] Noting she is in a state of Zetsu, Musse surmises she must have a counter-type ability and attacks her with lethal force. He touches her body to activate his ability, but is killed by her Cat's Name. The Nen beast resurrects Camilla with Musse's life energy before disappearing. Camilla then heads for Benjamin's quarters with a gun in her hand. She shoots one of his guards and Furykov, killing the former. When Benjamin lets her in, she declares she is after the soldier who tried to kill her. She fires her gun at Benjamin, who deflects all the bullets with Ken. She then taunts the guards to shoot her, but Furykov takes charge and breaks her arm. She vows to kill his family, to which the soldier replies Benjamin is his only family. Camilla is thus thrown into jail while being monitored by Musse's Secret Window.[3]
Benjamin and Camilla stand trial before Supreme Magistrate Cleapatro. Their fate depending on what became of Musse, the judge sentences that the quarters of both princes be searched by the royal army, until which time the two will be confined to the VVIP area and placed under surveillance. The court is adjourned and Camilla leaves, escorted by two of her private soldiers.[10]

Guardian Spirit Beast
Camilla's Guardian Spirit Beast
Like the rest of his siblings, Camilla received an egg from which a Guardian Spirit Beast hatched to protect her.[2] Since it is a parasitic-type ability, she has no control over it. The Nen beast is subjected to two rule-like instincts: it is unable to fight other Guardian Spirit Beasts as well as to directly attack the host of one.[7] It is known to be a Manipulator with a coercive-type ability that takes complete control of a target once certain conditions are met.[15]
