[edit] Synopsis
Our Heroine of the Story starts with Lina Inverse, A powerful sorceress who comes stealing treasure from Bandits and Thugs. Until a Swordsman named Gourry Gabriev comes along and saves her from the bandit Fangs (Which Lina can handle herself), He then agrees that he will be Lina's bodyguard. Lina gets annoyed when Gourry makes fun of her Underdeveloped Body. Then comes a Chimaera named Zelgadis looking for Lina for the Philosopher stone hiddened in the Orihalcon Statue. Later, Zelgadis joins Lina in her adventure along with Gourry and the Justice freak seyruun sorcery Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun (Amelia for short).
In the first series, Lina fights with the blind red priest Rezo to stop him from gaining the philosopher stone in order for him to resurrect the Dark Lord Shabranigdo. Before that happened, Zelgadis betrays Rezo and joins Lina. Sylphiel Nels Lahda joins the group, A shrine maiden who knew Gourry in the past when he slayed a powerful beast, Gourry remembers her as a great cook. Sylphiel helps Lina by giving her the bless blade which was from the Sacred tree, Lina kills Copy Rezo with the bless blade(who was really Zanafar).
In the second series, Lina travels with Gourry again, another character is involved named Xellos, A mysterious priest he calls himself. But in the other episodes he was a Mazoku, a dark beast born from the ruby-eyed Shabranigdo. And another character is added named Martina Zoana who is a spoilt princess, she can curse whoever she wants for example by using parts of material you wear she takes them and curses it like a voodoo doll. However she keeps falling for the characters in the episodes like Zelgadis, Gourry, Xellos until she met Zangulas and marries him.
For the third series, Lina encounters a new character on the scene named Filia Ul Copt, She looked for Lina because her sister was too busy working as a waitress and a soldier of Ceilphied. So Filia travels along Lina, Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadis and Xellos. Though she has a great dislike of Xellos, because he is a Mazoku and she is a golden Dragon of the dragon race who took the form of a human.
Anyways, she hated Xellos because a few hundreds of years ago, A Mazoku (Xellos) destroyed 1000 Dragons with one stroke. Filia was very angry about it and kept her dislike to herself. The Enemy of this series is a half dragon and half mazoku named Valgaav. In the end of the series, Filia now takes care of Valgaav, for he is now reborn and when you see it you can see he's a blue egg in a comfortable basket.
