Appearanceedit | edit source

Ravel is a beautiful young girl with dark blue eyes. She has long blonde hair tied into twintails
with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has
several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her
nose. Ravel's body measurements are [B85-W59-H84 cm] [B33-W23-H33 in]; height is 153 cm
(5 feet 0 inches) and body weight is [47 kg].

Her initial outfit consisted of a light purple dress with dark purple accents and a blue bow at the
front. At the back, three feather-like extensions mimicking a bird's tail protrude from the dress,
which, when combined with her wings of fire, give her a bird-like appearance. Upon
transferring to Kuoh Academy, she wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, with the addition of
a black sweater over her dress shirt.

After joining Issei's peerage, during Rating Games, she wears a uniform that consists of a red
button top with a white tie, a red skirt as well as a purple cape along with a blue satchel on her
waist.
In the anime, Ravel wears a long, pink dress with white frills and a magenta bow in the front. At
her brother's engagement party, she wears a purple dress with matching gloves and black boots
and holds a pink folding fan.

Personalityedit | edit source

Ravel is first shown to be spoiled, arrogant and snobbish during her debut, but is later revealed
to be a well-mannered, modest, elegant, and polite young girl, but shown to be initially harsh
towards those whom she dislikes. She's very loyal to her older brother, as she is seen diligently
obeying his authority. She strongly believes that her brother is so powerful, no one could ever
possibly defeat him. However, after witnessing his crushing defeat at the hands of Issei
Hyoudou, she becomes attracted to him and later falls in love with him as the series progresses,
albeit in tsundere tendencies.

In truth, she does not really mind being one of Issei's "servants", or otherwise his "concubines",
just as long as she can continue to be by his side, desiring to be traded as one of Issei's Bishops
when he gains peerage, for she only wishes to be of use to him. Later on, she seems to have
grown very proud of being Issei's manager and therefore continues to study diligently, so as to
serve as his support in the future.

Despite her young age, she's very intelligent, mature and perceptive, being able to understand
the atmosphere of any situation as well as surmise Issei's thoughts just by simply looking at
him. She is also shown to be a gifted strategist, serving as Issei's main strategist and second in
command of his peerage. In this position, Ravel appears to be quite strict as she has her own
expectations and standards when it comes to the suitability of someone to serve under Issei,
such as when she denied Kuroka's offer to make Le Fay Pendragon Issei's contracted magician
due to the latter's affiliation with the Khaos Brigade or when she was initially against letting
Elmenhilde Karnstein join Issei's team.

Ravel has also shown a ruthless side, being relentless in securing victory for her team. This is
seen when she consistently read out the manga about Issei and Kiba to Tsubaki Shinra, despite
the latter's obvious discomfort and pleas to stop. However, Ravel is also shown to be quite
fragile hearted as seen when she cried when she believed she failed Issei after their defeat
against Dulio's team in the Azazel Cup.

Despite her maturity, Ravel is also stubborn and childish at times, having a habit of wanting
other people's belongings, as stated by Riser, this is seen when she fights with Koneko over
Issei's lap or when she fights with the other girls over Issei, despite being the one who manages
everything.

regeneration abilities, being able to regenerate lost limbs and recover from wounds
instantly as demonstrated in Volume 25, when she regenerated from the damage
inflicted by the Valkyrie Squad. However, since their immortality is fueled by Ravel's
demonic power and affected by her mental state, if her body would be destroyed
multiple times or her demonic power ran out, she wouldn't be able to regenerate.
 Hell Fire: As a member of the Phenex Clan, Ravel is capable of using strong fire-based
attacks noted to be strong enough to burn Scale Mail armor. In a manga side-story, she
is shown to be capable of blowing half of her brother's head away with a single attack.

powers.

Xenovia in using Excalibur.

when coupled with the powers of her teammates makes her more dangerous. Lady

Ranker in the Rating Game Pro League. In DX.4, during their game against Team Sitri,
she altered the field using Issei's destructive power, create situations where her own
 team could fight at their best, and used Irina's Light Rings as a beacon for Bina to retire
them using her demonic power. She earned praise from people such as both Tobio and
Indra, the latter stated that Issei couldn't function without her plans. In Volume 25, she
formed optimal formations against Leisure of the Kings, placing Xenovia (with Excalibur's
Scabbard), Nakiri, and Irina against Apollon, a powerful light user; Bina, Asia, and Fafnir
against Artemis putting them in a stalemate. In True Volume 2, during their match
against Rias' Team, she came up with a solid plan to checkmate Rias with Issei's power,
