Capítulo 155: The blue princess

Nyi Roro Kidul (or Nyai Roro Kidul, Sundanese: ᮛᮛ , Latin: Nyi Rara Kidul, Javanese: ​ꦫꦫ​ꦏꦶꦢꦸꦭ꧀, transliterated. Nyai Rara Kidul, Balinese: ) is a spirit or Indonesian legendary goddess who is very popular among the people of Java Island. This figure is known as the Queen of the South Seas (Indian Ocean) and is generally equated with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, although according to some circles, the two are actually different.

In Javanese mythology, Kanjeng Ratu Kidul is a creation of Dewa Kaping Telu who fills the realm of life as the Goddess of Rice (Dewi Sri) and other natural goddesses. Meanwhile, Nyi Roro Kidul was originally a daughter of the Sunda Kingdom who was expelled by her father because of her stepmother. In its development, people tend to equate Nyi Roro Kidul with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, although in Javanese belief, Nyi Roro Kidul is a loyal subordinate of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul.
