Premiere

Premiere (プレミア) is a game adaptation-original character in Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. Unlike the other main characters, she is a Non-Player Character (NPC), born from the creation of Sword Art: Origin.

Hollow Realization
Premiere was first seen by Kirito among the other players still in town shortly before logging off on the day of the beta opening of Sword Art: Origin. When Kirito tried to reach her, Premiere disappeared into the crowd, after which Kirito received a mysterious message.

The next day, Premiere was encountered by Kirito again, who discovered that she was a quest giving NPC. However, Premiere's quest of bringing her out of town only rewarded one Col on completion. After Kirito discovered that Premiere was an NPC with no original coding telling her how to act and the rest of Kirito's group discovered this, Premiere was given her name by the group. Later on, when Premiere's quest was once again accepted by Asuna and Kirito, the three of them discovered a cave with a mysterious glowing stone that reacted upon Premiere touching it, giving the impression that the stone was part of her true quest.

When players were misinformed that killing NPCs would earn them great rewards, Premiere was assaulted by another player outside of town, who was only stopped due to the intervention of Kirito and Argo. After this event, Premiere was asked to allow Kirito to protect her, to which she agreed.

At a later point, Premiere personally requested Kirito to teach her how to protect herself. After Kirito hesitantly agreed to train her, Premiere learned how to wield a rapier, allowing her to join the party in battles outside of town.
