About

Euphemia li Britannia (ユーフェミア・リ・ブリタニア, Yūfemia ri Buritania?) is Lelouch's half-sister and the Third Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire; she is the sibling Lelouch cares most about after Nunnally. She is a kindhearted and open-minded woman who despises conflict in any form.

Euphemia joins her older sister Cornelia in governing Area 11, becoming the Sub-Viceroy. She develops a relationship with Suzaku Kururugi, whose views reflect her own, and eventually appoints him as her personal Knight. Toward the end of the first season, she announces her intent to form the Special Administrative Zone of Japan in the region under Mount Fuji, giving the Japanese people their name and country back. During the administration changeover ceremony, she falls under the accidental influence of Lelouch's Geass and is reluctantly compelled to kill the Japanese people. She is shot by Zero to end the chaos and dies from her injuries, sparking the Black Rebellion and a bitter grudge from both Nina and Suzaku.

In supplementary materials, it is revealed that Britannia officially declared Euphemia responsible for the massacre, and that she had been deprived of royal status and executed by the Britannian Army following the rebellion. She comes to be known as the "Massacre Princess" (虐殺皇女, Gyakusatsu Koujo, "Princess Massacre" in the English dubs?) to the general public. Once Lelouch becomes Emperor, he explains to Suzaku that he intends to shed enough blood to make the name of the Princess Massacre be forgotten. In this respect, Lelouch succeeds; following the Zero Requiem, all hatred is focused on Lelouch and the past forgotten, including Euphemia's massacre.

She is present in the manga adaptation of Code Geass with a few differences. She attended Ashford Academy for three days before she becomes the Viceroy of Area 11 and discovers that Lelouch and Nunnally are alive.
