Legion Ráðgríðr

Legion Ráðgríðr (LGラーズグリーズ), informally and more commonly known as "Team Hitotsuyanagi", is a legion at Yurigaoka Girls' Academy. It was formed by Hitotsuyanagi Riri, its current captain. As it includes two Lilies who were formerly members of the first-generation Legion Álfheimr (Shirai Yuyu and Yoshimura Thi Mai), it is considered one of the successor legions to the original Álfheimr.

The Lilies of Team Hitotsuyanagi are the main characters of Assault Lily: Bouquet, key characters in the "ensemble" stage plays starting with League of Gardens, and one of the three legions which Assault Lily: Last Bullet focuses on.

History
Team Hitotsuyanagi owes its existence to Riri's decision to become a Lily and enroll in Yurigaoka in early 2052, determined to make Shirai Yuyu her Schutzengel.

Anime/game
In Assault Lily: Bouquet, Yuyu initially refused to take Riri on as her Schild, but agreed to do so after being persuaded by Kaede Johan Nouvel, mentioning in private that Riri "wouldn't understand otherwise" and expressing the hope that she would regret the decision. She later ordered Riri to gather members for a legion, as doing so would make her "act more like a proper Lily." Yuyu was not expecting Riri to be able to recruit the minimum roster of nine people, but thought failing to do so might be a good experience for her.

Riri surprised Yuyu by eventually finding all seven of the other Lilies needed for them to form a legion. This legion became Team Hitotsuyanagi.

Stage plays
In Assault Lily: League of Gardens, when Riri asked Yuyu to be her Schutzengel, Yuyu angrily told Riri that she wasn't someone Riri ought to admire and if Riri stayed close to her she'd only regret it. Later, Yoshimura Thi Mai approached Riri and suggested that she form a legion, as it would be good for Yuyu to be in one. Riri had recruited six other Lilies for this unofficial legion by the time she decided to go to Shimokitazawa in pursuit of Ando Tazusa; Yuyu also accompanied them.

After the battle in Shimokitazawa, Yuyu agreed to take the Schutzengel's Oath with Riri and join the legion, which was then officially established as Legion Ráðgríðr.

In Full Bloom, these events were altered slightly and rearranged: Riri and her friends rescued Tazusa from a battlefield in Ebina, not Shimokitazawa, and returned to Yurigaoka afterwards. The other Lilies later accompanied Yuyu to Shimokitazawa when she went there to aid Fukuyama Jeanne Sachie in battle.
