We got introduced to Princess Reiners in season 2, episode 1, and we were
given flashes in the ending theme that she had a dark personality. This was
later confirmed in episodes 9 and 10 when her brother, Prince Zanac, calls her
a monster to her face. When she turned around, she had the anime crazy face,
but didn't actually change form into a literal monster of any kind.

Over on the MAL forum for [episode
12](https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1716976), they simply refer to her
as a yandere. On [the
Wikia](http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Renner_Theiere_Chardelon_Ryle_Vaiself),
they say she's a psychopath.

I always considered the anime crazy face to be a metaphor for viewers, not a
literal change for other characters in-story. Aside from her dark personality
/ face twisting, and the fact that she plans out big, complicated, moves, I
don't understand what the big deal is. Why would she be called a monster? How
would anyone else in Yggdrasil would know that she is a "monster"? Or is she a
monster in a literal sense?

overlord
Why is Princess Reiners called a monster?


Princess Renner belongs to the Human Race and doesn't possess any magical
skills or powers such as other races. So the people referring to her as a
_Monster_ is just symbolic or figurative.

For the reasons why she is called a monster, it's mainly because she hides her
[true twisted
personality](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/44957/does-princess-
renner-have-other-hidden-personality-as-depicted-in-the-2nd-season) and acts
just the opposite way in public. Aside from this, she's extremely
observational, intelligent, and possess advanced intellect.

There is a time when she easily deciphers various locations of eight fingers
from a document, and then we see Lakyus (leader of Blue Roses) saying that
there is no one for whom the word _genius_ is a better fit except the
Princess.

Then during a meeting with Marquis Raeven and her brother Zanac, she says some
interesting dialogs about Marquis

> I wish for you, the hidden leader of the Royalty Faction, no, the one who
> controls the Royalty Faction from the shadows, to lend me your household
> troops..........

Both Marquis Raeven and her brother Zenac are terrified and Zanac says:

> How do you, up here like a bird in cage, know all of that?

That is the reason why Zanac describes Renner as an unfathomable **monster**.

_Some more quotes:_

> Why, Climb. Are you on your way to show your face to that **monster**?
>
> **To Climb warning about Renner:** Listen, Climb. If you were a bigot then I
> wouldn’t have even bothered to say anything. But I’m giving you a warning
> since she could be tricking you. She’s a **monster**
>
> **To Renner:** Is that so. This is your true face. What should I say when
> you were young, it always felt like something was strange about you, but now
> I know you’re **not normal**

So considering these characteristics, it can be said that she is the most
intelligent human in the whole Overlord series and also gets on well with
other superior races (for example, check her relations with Albedo in the
other question regarding Renner). It's just natural for anyone to be terrified
after learning her identity behind the mask she puts on as a saint. You would
really call someone like that a true monster.

So in short, she is not a (former) monster in any **literal** sense. But her
personality, intelligence, and mental disorder makes her one (
**symbolically** )
