List of Lord Marksman and Vanadis characters
Author Tsukasa Kawaguchi contributed the concept of a young male archer and a female fighter who uses a sword as the protagonists, which the editorial department of MF Bunko J approved of. At the editorial department's suggestion, Kawaguchi included seven additional fighting girls and called them "war maidens". Kawaguchi wanted to have another weapon from a novel he had previously worked on for Tigre. The "Monster Hunter" video game franchise gave Kawaguchi the inspiration to develop Tigre's archery skills. Other influences for Tigre included historical archers such as Nasu no Yoichi and Robin Hood.
