Here’s Why Yor Is Called Thorn Princess
People who are well versed with theSpy X Familymanga already know about Yor Forger. But those who got introduced toSpy X Familywith its anime, Yor is a new character for them. She made her appearance in the second episode of the series where she can be seen working as a city hall clerk.
While Yor is in her room thinking about lying to her brother about having a boyfriend, she receives a call from someone giving her an assassination job. Instead of calling Yor by her name, he calls her “Thorn Princess”. After that, Yor reaches her destination and kills everyone present there.
She is probably called “Thorn Princess” because of the weapon she uses for her assassination job. Both, in the manga as well as in the anime, Yor uses two slim, thorn-like weapons to eliminate her target. These cylindrical weapons resemble awls. Yor’s weapon seems to have a grip to give her a good hold of it, and it has a small circular loop at the end. It can easily be used to thrash and stab someone and take their life. Given the design of her weaponry which resembles sharp thorns, is the most obvious reason why she is called “Thorn Princess”.
