RanSill

RanSill is the het ship between Rance and Sill Plain from the Rance Series fandom.

Canon
Before the events of the series begin, Rance buys Sill from a slave trader for 15,000 GOLD. While she originally had "Absolute Obedience Magic" put on her, it quickly wore off. But Sill stayed with Rance out of her own love for him. Sill considered Rance to be her hero because he saved her from such a horrible situation.

I/01
In Rance I and the remake 01, Sill serves Rance as his sidekick and slave. She will offer him help and heal him whenever Rance needs it. When Sill is captured by Lia, Rance rushes in to save her.

II/02
Sill follows Rance into the city of Custom in order to help him out. She gets lost in the dungeon that the Witches of Custom made, and is separated from Rance. There, she meets Bird Lithfie, another adventurer who got lost in the dungeon. Due to Sill's kind nature, Bird falls in love with her, and, upon hearing how Rance treats her, asks her to marry him and run away. However, Sill remains loyal to Rance. When Rance catches word of how Bird had been hitting on Sill, he told Bird to never try and take his woman ever again.

III/03
Towards the middle of the game, Sill is captured by the Dark Lord Satella. While Rance usually has a policy against harming women, he is willing to do so in order to save Sill from her. At one point, Sill is about to be raped by Helman soldiers, but Rance stops them before they can do so.

In the ending, Rance is about to be pulled into the eternal seal that the Demon King Gele is forcing him into. However, Sill rescues him in time, causing them to be teleported onto the floating city of Ylapu.

IV
After waking up in Ylapu, Sill befriends Freoncoise, a local manager at the bar. Sill works there for a bit of time, and Rance gets jealous that other men can see her in a waitress uniform.

At some point, Sill is captured by Toushin Upsilon. Rance becomes traumatized, fearing that she was dead, giving her a hug right after she was saved.

4.X
Due to his fear of losing her, Rance leaves Sill at their home. However, Sill still becomes very worried about Rance. So, she dresses up as Pink Mask (a parody of Sailor Moon) in order to keep watch over him. While Rance believes what Pink Mask says that she isn't actually Sill, she lied in order to make sure that he wouldn't have to worry.

Kichikuou
While Kichikuou is technically non-canon to the modern Rance timeline, the events presented in it are still worth mentioning.

Sill's status is one of the major factors to determine what ending you get in Kichikuou. The entire reason Rance becomes king of Leazas is because he wants to save Sill.

If she is killed, Rance will find her body, and mourn her death. This is to the point where he orders his men to gangrape the woman who captured Sill in the first place, Ruberan, until she is dead. Rance will then later hold a funeral for Sill, putting his favorite shell on her grave, and crying, something he is only seen doing a couple times in the series. The infamous Demon King Ending can only be triggered if Sill is dead, implying that Rance has no reason to live when she is not by his side, causing him to seek revenge against the entire world.

In one of the endings, Sill can be frozen by the god Ludo. Ludo also says directly to Rance that Sill is what he values and cares about most in the world. The only way he is allowed to get her back is if he commits horrible actions and throws the world into chaos. He doesn't hesitate in choosing this path.

The True Ending of Kichikuou is of Rance leaving his position as king of Leazas, telling Sill himself that he only did it to get her back. The two then go on adventures together for the rest of their lives.

5D
In 5D, Rance and Sill begin searching through a mysterious cave together.
