Appearanceedit | edit source

Rias is a beautiful young woman with white skin, blue eyes (blue-green in the anime, season 1-
3) inherited from her father, Zeoticus, and a buxom figure. Her body measurements are [B99-
W58-H90 cm] [B39-W23-H35 in]. Her body weight is [58 kg] [128 lbs]. Her most distinctive
feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair which she also inherited from her father, that reaches
down to her thighs with a single hair strand (known in Japan as ahoge) sticking out from the
top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. Rias'
height is 172 cm. (5 feet 8 inches), making her one of the tallest female characters of the series.

Although Rias has worn various types of clothing throughout the series, her most commonly
worn outfit is the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, which consists of a white long-sleeved,
button-down shirt (short sleeves for spring/summer), with a black ribbon on her shirt collar
worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with
white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks. Rias also tends to wear
seductive lingerie and thongs, especially when she has a desire to sleep with Issei.

On some rare occasions, Rias wears glasses when she's deep in thought, as she feels they make
her mind work better despite having perfect eyesight.

Personalityedit | edit source

Rias is a very kind and compassionate, optimist, especially to her servants and people close to
her. She gets angry and violent whenever people insult her or her peerage, showing a fiery side
to her. This also plays into the fact that she dislikes cruelty towards people, as shown with her
disgust over Marius Tepes, who abused his own sister for his own benefit, and how she killed
the Fallen Angels, such as Mittelt, Dohnaseek, Kalawarna, and Raynare for their cruel treatment
of Issei.

She is proud of her family's name, but she does not like being seen as Rias of the Gremory
Family. The reason for her living in the human world (as revealed in Volume 2 of the novels) is
because there, everyone sees her as Rias, not as a Devil or as the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess.
Due to this and the fact that the only men who showed interest in her were interested in her
due to being the Heiress of the House of Gremory, Rias soured on the idea of finding a lover,
until meeting and falling in love with Issei. According to Akeno, Rias originally said that all men
looked the same to her as Rias said that Issei is the only exception due to her thinking of him as
cute.

She thinks of Issei as a special person and always gets jealous when girls are around him,
becoming a totally different person when she sees him and other girls together, or when it
comes to training. Despite her mature stature like a woman, Rias tends to act her true age and
becomes frustrated whenever girls flirt with Issei. While Rias is usually calm and mature in most
situations, she loses her mature aura and presence when she sees any girl (especially Akeno)
flirting with or seducing Issei.

She enjoys teasing Issei and Asia (from Volume 3 of the novels onward), but at the same time
makes it clear (to Asia or any girl) that Issei is hers, and she does not want to share him at all (It
is revealed in Volume 3 of the novels that the Gremory Family and their servants are beings
with extraordinary affection among the Devils, so Rias is no exception). She has no problem
with showing Issei her breasts or sleeping naked with him (which she always does according to
her and she claims she can't sleep without being nude or without Issei). Despite being seductive
like Akeno, both of the girls are still innocent to love, as both of them become their age
whenever around Issei or on a date with him.

After becoming Issei's girlfriend, Rias begins to show more confidence in her relationship with
Issei and is no longer jealous or angry when Issei is with other girls like she previously was, even
accepting Issei's dream of having a harem and letting the girls have dates with him. However,
Rias still shows some signs of jealousy such as when Issei doesn't spend enough time with her,
but still believes in him and loves him. Due to being Issei's official girlfriend and later fiancée,
the other girls acknowledge her as the "Legal Wife" as she manages the other women who are
in love with Issei. According to Ravel, the burden of Rias as the "Legal Wife" is greater than the
burden of Issei as she has to manage the girls maidenly feelings towards Issei and balance out
Issei's feelings towards each of his lovers/brides. Like Akeno, Rias shows a sign of dependence
toward Issei (possibly lesser than the former) as Rias will lose her will to fight and lead.

She holds her older brother, Sirzechs, in high regard (despite her older brother's antics of being
a siscon) because she deeply cares for him. When she was a child, she was entirely dependent
on him and held him in admiration, while also feeling inferior to him at the same time.
Rias loves participating in Rating Games, as she dreams of becoming the Rating Game champion
by defeating the current Rating Game champion; Diehauser Belial, with the help of her peerage.
While Rias is a powerful devil in her own right, being much stronger than average High-class
Devils and according to Azazel, being able to become a Ultimate-class Devil just on the virtue on
her talent alone, Rias suffers a bit of an inferiority complex when she compares herself to her
fellow Rookies Four colleagues, as she feels inferior to Sona as a strategist and that she is far
weaker in power than Sairaorg. However, according to Riser and Azazel, Rias has a talent for
finding and recruiting talented individuals for her peerage, inspiring great loyalty and growing
stronger with them as seen in her meeting with Issei. During the Azazel Cup, she was highly
evaluated as a scout as she managed to recruit Crom Cruach and Vasco Strada along with 2
Longinus possessors, being praised by the professional critics. She is noted to be a skilled
negotiator, as she was able to convince Rossweisse to join her peerage by offering her better
working conditions and a better salary compared to her previous job in Valhalla, and while
during the Azazel Cup, she was able to convince Vasco Strada to join her team after he declined
all prior invitations to participate in the Cup by appealing to his warrior swordsman spirit and
offering to restore his youth without using a Devils ability, thus not violating his faith with
Strada praising her negotiating skill as a sweet Devil's whisper.

Rias is competitive and hates to lose, especially after losing her first Rating Game against Riser
as she strives to always win, whether it is in sports or Rating Games.

Due to being spoiled by her father Zeoticus and her brother Sirzechs from an early age, she has
a somewhat impatient and selfish personality and because of her bad money spending habit,
her mother Venelana and her sister-in-law Grayfia often scold her for her frivolous spending, as
her mother reconsidered the amount of money she is allowed as allowance.

Early in her childhood, she developed an instinctive fear and hatred of camels due to being hit
by a camel after making fun of it, as the fear is great enough that the residents of the Gremory
territory constantly keep camels away from her despite the Gremory's association with camels
in the Ars Goetia.

Due to being taught about Japan from Souji Okita, Rias has developed an obsession with Japan,
buying various Japanese souvenirs and being ecstatic while visiting Kyoto during her school field
trip, though she became pouty and stomped at the train station due to being unable to fully
explore Kyoto.

Historyedit | edit source

Rias is the daughter and second child of the Gremory Family. She became the heir after her
brother, Sirzechs, became the Satan Lucifer, losing his right as heir to the house. After being
announced as the heiress of the Gremory Clan, Rias was eventually placed into engagement
with Riser Phenex. When she was a child, she was attacked by a camel for making fun of it,
which caused her to have a strong fear of camels ever since. Just seeing imagery of a camel is
enough to trigger her fear, as shown when she gets frightened seeing her clan's mascot, which
is a camel.

Prior to the series, Rias has reincarnated Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou, Yuuto Kiba, and
Gasper Vladi as members of her peerage. Rias met Akeno, her Queen, first servant, and best
friend, in Japan, saving Akeno from being killed by her fellow Himejima Clan members after
Akeno accidentally entered Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's territory. She then met Koneko, her
second servant, after her brother rescued Koneko from being executed, leaving Koneko under
Rias' care. She later reincarnated both Yuuto and Gasper, the former who died after being a
part of the "Holy Sword Project" and the latter killed by Vampire hunters.

She entered Kuoh Academy two years before the series along with Akeno, Sona, and Tsubaki,
reviving the abolished Occult Research Club which is used as a base for her servants and
became its president. Rias and Akeno went on the Kyoto trip during their second year, and Rias
enjoyed every moment of it, however, they didn't plan a proper schedule so therefore there
were places that she wasn't able to visit like the Nijou-jou. Rias was so upset that she stomped
her feet at the railway station. Also during their second year, Rias and her club organized a
haunted house for the school festival and even used real ghosts as she requested a friendly
Youkai to look for jobs to plan the decorations. This, however, got them in a lot of trouble with
Sona who scolded them for using the real thing.

Powers & Abilitiesedit | edit source

Demonic Power: As a member of the Gremory Clan, Rias has shown exceptional demonic
power and proficient use of it even for a High-Class Devil. After Issei transferred power into
Rias, her demonic power increased to the point of rivaling an Ultimate-Class Devil, shaking the
ground, and reaching a Satan-Class Devil. Azazel has noted even without training, she has the
potential to become a Devil of the highest-class relying on natural talent alone. In Volume 23,
Rias could overwhelm Ultimate-Class Devils who were wounded by Crom Cruach's initial attack.
In her Forbidden Invade Balor Princess Form, she could keep up with Fenrir at 80% percent
power. In True Volume 3, she can use her demonic power to change the color of her hair from
crimson to blonde.

Rias using her Power of Destruction

 Power of Destruction (滅びの力, Horobi no Chikara): A unique form of demonic power

that allows her to release energies that can disintegrate matter, both living and
inanimate, with relative ease. She is further able to control the shape and power of the
technique such as creating multiple softball-sized bullets to lessen the destructive force
yet increase the range of her attack. In Volume 5, Rias control further improves by
compression of her power of destruction into countless number bullets in mid-air. Its
stated those without enough power would vanish from just one bullet.
 Extinguished Star (消滅の魔星
 イクスティングイッシュ・スター
 o , Ikusutinguisshu Sutā): also known as Demonic Star of Extinction. Rias' ultimate
one-hit kill technique made due to the change in her demonic power due to the
influence of Issei's power. She manipulates her Power of Destruction into a
compression of an unimaginable amount of demonic power; takes on the form
of an enormous sphere with a mixture of crimson and black aura radiating from
it that move toward her enemies at slow speeds. The Extinguished Star has a
strong magnetic force, which pulls enemies towards it and is disintegrated
similar to a black hole. Its destructive power has been stated to surpass the
speed of the retiring system in the Rating Game.
 Castling (キャスリング, Kyasuringu): Due to being the King of her own peerage, Rias
has the ability to use Castling, which allows her to swap locations with one of her Rooks.
She first used it during Nilrem's attack on Kuoh Academy, swapping places with one of
her unused Rook pieces.
 Healing: Rias is capable of healing others using her demonic power, it requires her
embracing the injured person and both parties to be completely nude in skin to skin
contact for better effectiveness. She has shown to be able to heal fatal wounds such as
when Issei was struck by a Light Weapon.
 Oppai Beam (おっぱいビーム, Oppai Bīmu): Rias has gained the ability to project a red
light from her breasts, which recharges Issei's energy. Each use of this power causes her
breasts to temporarily shrink in size, however, her breast size will restore itself after a
few days of rest.
 Memory Alteration: Rias has shown that she has skill in memory alteration, using it on
Issei's parents.

Enhanced Durability: Rias has shown great tolerance to damage and pain, she was going
continuing to fight Regulus and remain in the Rating Game despite the intense blood loss.

Expert Magician: Rias is one of the magic specialists in her peerage aside from Akeno and
Rossweisse (before she was traded), using a ritual that drains the dragon power from Issei's left
arm to appear human again, teleport from one location to another one, and communication
magic circles.

 Summoning Magic: Rias is capable of summoning her bat-like familiar.

 Defensive Magic: Rias can create several barriers able to protect herself and her servant
from Katerea's self-destruction spell during the Three Factions Conference.

Expert Tactician: Though outsmarted several times throughout the series, Rias has proven
herself to be an excellent tactician and has saved her team along with others many times due to
her profound intellect and her ability to handle unexpected difficulties calmly.

Stealth Expert: Rias has learned how to mask her presence to allow to remain undetected, as a
way to sneak behind and surprise Issei without being noticed.

Flight: Being a Devil, Rias can fly using her wings.

Crimson Extinct Dragonar (深紅の滅殺龍姫

クリムゾン・エクスティンクト・ドラグナー

, Kurimuzon Ekusutinkuto Doragunā): also known as Crimson Dragon Princess of Annihilation is

a combination technique between Rias and Issei, where he uses his Red Wyverns and they sync
both of their auras and the Wyverns attach themselves to Rias to create her own female version
of Issei's Scale Mail. The armor acts just like Issei's, boosting Rias' abilities and giving her the
ability to utilize Boost, Transfer, and Penetrate until she reaches her limit.

Forbidden Invade Balor the Princess (禁夜と真闇の滅殺獣姫

フォービトゥン・インヴェイド・バロール・ザ・プリンセス

, Fōbidoun Invueido Barōru za Purinsesu): Also known as Beast Ruin Princess of the Forbidden
Night and True Darkness. A combination technique between Rias and Gasper, where he melts
into his shadow and fuses with hers covering her in darkness. This resulted in a form of Rias,
which appears as a dark beast in the shape of a human enveloped in a deep red aura of
destruction and also a third eye with a deep red pupil and gain ten wings. This was inspired
from Sairaorg's Balance Breaker supplemented by her Crimson Extinct Dragonar. Rias is able to
use her third eye to freeze opponents in time and travel through shadows; her own Power of
Destruction is also greatly enhanced with the infusion of power of darkness, as well as stop her
own attacks and control them such as changing their trajectory. This form, while still
incomplete, exceeds Satan-class power, and is able to casually destroy an area with a radius of
a few hundred meters filled with skyscrapers.

Galatine II (ガラチン II, Garachin II): A crimson sword able to be used by a devil, which Rias
had received from Heaven as a blessing after her engagement to Issei. She plans to pass it on to
their future children.
