Hero (勇者, Yūsha) is a character introduced in Volume 3 of the Goblin Slayer Light Novel, in Chapter 29 of the manga, and Episode 6 of the anime. She is also seen as a child in the Goblin Slayer Year One Light Novel and manga.

Appearance
Hero appears to have long shoulder length Hair. She wears very powerful magic armor and wields a magical sword that can only be wielded by her.

Personality
She is brash, bold, and overconfident. She is always on the hunt for the next adventure to fight the most powerful monsters.

Year One Volume 1
As a child, she was very adventurous and would often sneak out of the orphanage to go play outside the village, much to the head nun's annoyance and worry. She first meets Goblin Slayer outside the village when he first arrives and follows him around. While watching Goblin Slayer set up defences, she asks several questions of him. Although she already dreamt of becoming an adventurer, this meeting pushed her to pursue her dream with all of her heart.

Soon after she became an Adventurer, she stumbled upon a magical sword. This sword was significantly powerful and could, for some mysterious reason, only be wielded by her. It turned out that the Goddess Illusion rolled a high number with her die to see what fate would befall her in one of her first adventures. The sheer power of this sword enabled her to rise through the ranks all the way to Platinum in less than a year.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
She and a sage confronted a servant of the demon lord. Assuming she was a sword saint, the servant transformed himself into a more monstrous form, the Hero bifurcated him and mocked the fact that he didn't expect her to be a Hero.

Abilities
Despite her reliance on her powerful magic sword she is very proficient in sword fighting and hand to hand combat.
