--> ''Lord. Can you please listen to my wish? Please protect Ise-san forever. Also... Please allow me to continue living with Ise-san...''
A well-meaning former nun who Issei found and befriended while she was looking for a church in town. As a member of the Roman Catholic Church, she was able to heal everyone who was injured. At some point after healing the devil Diodora Astaroth, however, Asia is exiled as a heretic until she meets Issei. When Asia is killed by Raynare, Rias revives her as her Bishop and Asia joins the Occult Research Club, continuing to use her healing powers in the process. She is traded to Issei upon his promotion to High-Class Devil, making her Issei's first Bishop.
----
* ActualPacifist: Asia's strength lies in healing her comrades, and she has no direct offensive abilities whatsoever.
* AlliterativeName: '''A'''sia '''A'''rgento. Gamebreaking points for having the same initials as her Japanese voice actress.
* AllLovingHeroine: Asia loves everyone. Even when she was still a human, she didn't resent Devils and treated everyone equally, regardless of what they were. Azazel comments that this could be a potential drawback to her long-distance healing powers, as she probably wouldn't have the heart to ignore her enemies' injuries.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The Church exiled her when she was discovered to heal angels, humans ''and'' devils such as Diodora.
* TheAloner: She becomes a hermit in her backstory after being exiled from the Church, using her powers for healing others.
* AmusingInjuries: Apparently her nun training is still pretty well-ingrained. If she's relieved, she usually says something like "Thank God" followed by a whimper of pain since devils cannot pray. However, there's really no excuse for her trying to read Literature/TheBible repeatedly even though it has the same effect.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Delivers an awesome one towards Diodora when he insulted Issei.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Airi.
* BackFromTheDead: She is killed during the removal of her sacred gear at the end of Volume 1, but is revived, and subsequently added to the Occult Research Club, by Rias shortly afterwards. [[LateArrivalSpoiler This is common knowledge.]]
* BarrierWarrior: She becomes one in volume 20. When the Fafnir sacred gear goes balance breaker, Rizevim's most powerful attacks can't get through, and he has to flee from a very, '''very''' pissed off Issei.
* BathtubBonding: The anime openly shows her being the first girl in Ise's harem to bathe with him, at her request no less. Issei's mom walks in on them and gets the wrong idea...
---> "Honey! We're going to be seeing our grandchild soon!"
* BettyAndVeronica: After Rias moved to the Hyoudou residence in Volume 2, she was the Betty to Rias's (and later Akeno and Xenovia) Veronica.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Made pacts with Four mass-produced evil dragons, which was only possible for Evil Gods.
* BreastExpansion: In Volume 23, [[spoiler:Issei explicitly states that Asia's boobs has grown to Irina and Xenovia's size.]] Justified, since Asia is still in the later parts of a woman's growth stage (where it usually ends at early twenties) and that she is a devil, as Ravel states her demonic energy and desires to have a big bust for Issei helps her grow.
* BurnTheWitch: Asia was persecuted as TheHeretic when she was discovered to be able to heal not only angels and humans, but also devils thanks to Diodora.
* ClingyJealousGirl: It starts to show up a lot more after Rias moves in with him and her in his parents' house. As a result, if Asia sees Rias doing something perverted, she'll attempt to join in. For example, if she sees Rias naked in bed with Issei, she'll start stripping off her clothes as well. She's generally too mild-mannered to start any actual conflict, though.
* ClubPresident: She replaces Rias as the club's president at the end of Volume 19.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Gets better as she becomes more exposed to the world.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Asia is lucky that Vali and his group are around at the Dimension Gap searching for Gogmagog, otherwise she would have died.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Issei first meets her after she trips. Also shows up in her and Koneko's spinoff manga.
* DamselInDistress: Twice in fact. The first time was when Twilight Healing was taken away from her and the second time was when Diodora held her hostage. Because of her tendency to become this, Issei and Xenovia eventually made it their vow to preemptively crush everything that will pose a threat to her. Asia's future self has also been cursed by Loki to grow weaker every day, with the kids coming back to both stop him and find a way to rescue her.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was abandoned by her parents when she was a baby at a church doorstep. She was raised in that church and sometime during her childhood, she gained the ability to use her Twilight Healing. She was eventually persecuted as a heretic for healing Diodora Astaroth, a devil.
* DisneyDeath: In Volume 6, she is sent to the dimensional gap by Shalba Beelzebub, a member of the Old Satan Faction. While this provokes Issei into giving Shalba a CurbStompBattle, she is rescued by Vali, who happened upon her body while traversing the void.
* DoorstopBaby: According to her {{backstory}}, her parents left her behind at a church doorstep.
* TheExile: Asia is exiled from the Church when she heals Diodora. Turns out that Diodora planned this from the beginning.
* FanservicePack: She becomes considerably more attractive in volume 23, where her breasts become larger and this is carried over to ''Hero''.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Diodora was rescued by Asia when she first meets him. Too bad it was all part of Diodora's schemes.
* FirstKiss: Asia shares her first kiss with Issei.
* ForeignFanservice: She's from Italy.
%%* FourGirlEnsemble: The [[TokenMiniMoe childish]] one.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic, natch.
* FriendlessBackground: Before meeting Issei, Asia laments that she doesn't have any friends.
%% * GreenEyes
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Fits the trope to a T. Sweet, innocent, pure-hearted and a faithful Catholic.
* HappilyAdopted: Sort of. There's no formal adoption, but ''everyone'' acts like Issei's parents are her actual parents, and Issei spends several volumes trying to force himself to think of her as his sister due to feeling incredibly guilty over not being able to save her from Raynare before ultimately giving up on it. Rias even holds the majority of the group back for "clean-up" during a battle in Volume 20 and orders Issei and Asia to go save his parents alone on the grounds that the parents ''should'' be saved by their son and daughter.
** ''EX'' reveals that later in the future, Asia would be officially adopted into the Hyoudou family, along with Ravel, as a way of [[LoopholeAbuse getting around Japan's polygamy laws]]. This is why Airi and Robertina are the only ones with the Hyodou surname.
* HealingHands: She can heal allies at a long distance. If she's near an enemy, the healing aura will just dissolve. She doesn't utilize the Reverse method because it would be risky for the Twilight Healing user (that and she's surrounded by one hell of a BadassCrew anyway).
* TheHeretic: She was excommunicated from the Church after Diodora tricked her into healing him.
* TheHermit: She retreated into complete isolation after being expelled from the Church, using her powers to help people.
* HimeCut: Has this hairstyle, despite being Italian, not Japanese. It fits her gentle and humble personality.
* IdiotHair: She has a strand sticking out of her hair.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Thankfully Issei, Rias and their friends are there for her.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_de-3Gop8 Kagiri Naku Junsui ni Chikai Daten]]
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Is hovering between this when she doesn't realize there's a problem with getting naked in a particular situation and a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who fully comprehends what she's doing but does it anyway to achieve her goals.
* InstantExpert: Picks up demon magic with just a few lessons from Akeno. Then again, it seems to follow a similar process to Twilight Healing, which she's been using all her life.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She's more or less regarded as Issei's adoptive sister, and Issei frequently talks himself out of intimacy with her as if they're biologically related.
* MarryThemAll: She is the first of the haremettes to bring up the subject of polygamy, as Rias is moving into the Hyoudou residence (although she's talking to herself and Issei just overhears her, and, in typical Issei fashion, doesn't know ''why'' she's talking about it). [[spoiler: He finally proposes to her toward the end of Volume 23, one volume after proposing to Rias.]]
* TheMedic: Her role in Ria's peerage is to heal her teammates.
* NiceGirl: Asia is probably one of the nicest devils in the underworld: a special has her thinking up ways to be crueler befitting her new demonic nature, and she comes up with such [[PokeThePoodle unforgivable things]] as stealing milk from the neighbors, switching shoes in shoeboxes, and ignoring erasers that people drop. Even these are enough to bring her to tears and make her start begging God for forgiveness.
* NoPronunciationGuide: In the dub, Issei's father pronounces it the way one says it the English manner (AY-sha), while she corrects him in that it's AH-zyah.
* NoSocialSkills: As a result of being sheltered by the Church for most of her life. For example, she doesn't know how to make orders from a fast-food chain. Though she gets better over time.
* NumberTwo: She is this within the harem, that even Akeno gives her that position; though knowing her fetish for affairs it serves her own purposes. In the [=EX=] future, she's even the second one to give birth to Issei's child and his first daughter.
* OneHeadTaller: With Issei, who is 170 cm/5'7[=''=], while she's only 155 cm/5'1[=''=].
* ParentalSubstitute: Serves as a mother figure to Issei's future children.
* PlayingCardMotifs: In the ending theme of the Season 1 anime, Asia is shown as the Joker, like Issei.
* PowerAtAPrice: For Fafnir to follow her instructions, he just needs a treasure. Unfortunately for Asia, it's her panties.
* RaisedCatholic: She was raised in a church and is a faithful Catholic even after being reincarnated as a Devil.
* RankUp: After Rias's graduation, she becomes the President of the Occult Research Club.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her waist.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some scanlations often use "Aashia" and "Ashia". Some early promotional material didn't help solve this issue either until they resolved it with her current name.
* SummonMagic: This is what Azazel advises to Asia so she could catch up with the rest of the team. So he gives her Fafnir. [[spoiler:Later, her daughter inherited the Dragon King after her mother was cursed by Loki during his time travels.]]
* SupremeChef: Out of all the harem, Asia is believed to be the best in cooking.
* TenderTears: She's quite prone to crying, the reasons ranging from her comrades getting hurt to jealousy over other girls (particularly Rias) making advances on Issei.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Despite being reincarnated as a Devil, Asia still believes in God and follows His teachings such as praying to Him and reading the Bible.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Xenovia's tomboy.
* TouchedByVorlons: Is blessed by Ophis to be able to make pacts with Dragons; the first is Fafnir. (Rassei doesn't count as he is a Familiar).
* {{Tsundere}}: Not her, ''her breasts''! Yes, Issei used [[PowerPerversionPotential his new ability]] to hear what a girl's breasts are saying.
* UndyingLoyalty: After falling in love with Issei, Asia swears that she will always stand by Issei's side forever, and in demon years that is in the thousands. She declares she will join Issei's Peerage when he becomes a High-Class Devil. [[spoiler:And she does upon his promotion in Volume 22!]]
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Fits the trope to a T: profusely compassionate and specializes in healing her teammates.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Asia can't return to the church any longer because she's a heretic.

[[folder:Xenovia Quarta]]
!!Xenovia Quarta
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenovia_new_5682.jpg]]
->'''Role:''' Knight\\
'''Species:''' Human / Reincarnated Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaTaneda (Japanese) and Creator/LaurenLanda [[note]]Credited under the pseudonym "Ramona Newel" for ''New'' and ''[=BorN=]''.[[/note]] (English)
--> ''I will bring judgement upon you with my own hands, in the name of God.''
Raised in the Roman Catholic Church as an exorcist, Xenovia Quarta wields the Holy Sword Durandal. Along with fellow exorcist Irina Shido, Xenovia travels to Kuoh Academy to retrieve the three Excalibur swords that were stolen by Kokabiel. After retrieving the swords, she is exiled from the church for discovering that GodIsDead and joins the Occult Research Club as Rias' Knight. As a student of Kuoh Academy, she intends to become the academy's StudentCouncilPresident, competing against Momo Hanakai and succeeding, forcing her to leave the Occult Research Club. After Issei's promotion to High Class Devil, she is traded to him by Rias, making her Issei's first Knight.
----
* TheAce: She's one of the smartest at her class much to Issei's surprise. This is more impressive since when she first started attending Kuoh, she wasn't literate [[note]]Literacy in Japanese involves being able to read not only the "alphabet", but also the 100 most common Kanji (of thousands)[[/note]] and mentions pulling all-nighters so she can learn to read the classwork properly. [[spoiler: In the future, she rose up her ante, becoming a headmistress of a cram school.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: By the time of volume 4, she is excommunicated from the Church for understandably learning that GodIsDead. Her status as a heretic is ultimately what leads to her reconciliation and friendship with Asia, who was equally considered one.
* AmusingInjuries: Like Asia, she gets headaches whenever she tries to pray after reincarnating as a devil until Issei asks Michael to let the two do so without resistance.
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: When Issei's clone uses Dress Break on her in a side story, she gets mad... because he didn't take advantage of her afterward.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She is a badass swordswoman who eventually becomes the Student Council President and [[spoiler:a headmistress of her own school]].
* AttackAttackAttack: Something Kiba notes that she really needs to get out of. Which finally happens in Volume 14.]
* TheAtoner: After learning that GodIsDead, she atones for her misdeeds towards Asia and felt the need to become her friend.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a son with Issei, named Zen.
* BadassCape: Her white hooded cloak with gold and blue accents.
* BadassTeacher: In ''EX'', she teaches her students as their headmistress from time to time.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: A heroic example. After the Occult Research Club's battle with Kokabiel, Xenovia goes from a devoted Catholic exorcist to a devil, the very species that serve as the Church's enemies.
* {{BFS}}: Durandal is a pretty big sword.
* BigSisterInstinct: When Asia is taken by Diodora, she ''vaporizes'' two devils who got in her way.
* BikerBabe: Volume [=DX3=] reveals that she's gotten a motorcycle license. She seems to have an issue with speeding, though.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Like most others of the Church, she initially views devils, heretics and fallen angels as enemies. Though to be fair, she also didn't know that in actuality GodIsDead until it was too late.
* BoyishShortHair: She cut her hair short after a dangerous mission involving a vampire.
* BrokenPedestal: She loses her trust with the Church, whom she once admired, after learning that GodIsDead the whole time and she is exiled.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Even moreso than Asia. Once she has her HeelFaceTurn, she gets very jealous when she sees Asia or any other girl is about to do naughty things to Issei to the point where she strips and attempts to seduce him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Lacks a lot of common sense, due to living most of her life sheltered in the Church like Asia.
* TheCoatsAreOff: She takes off her cape when she is ready to fight, until she becomes a member of the Occult Research Club.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her normal voice, provided by both Creator/RisaTaneda in Japanese and Creator/LaurenLanda in English, is made more evident when she practiced "how to be a normal teenage girl"
--> '''Xenovia:''' (Voice several pitches higher than her usual coarse-and-masculine contralto) Let's get along, 'kay, Issei-kun!
--> '''Issei:''' That cutesey voice does ''not'' suit you!
--> '''Xenovia:''' (Switches straight back to her normal-unfeminine voice) I know, I tried to copy Irina, and it was ''so'' difficult.
* CoolBigSis: She becomes an older sister surrogate to Asia towards the end of Volume 3.
* CoolSword: She's the current wielder of Durandal, her main weapon.
* CovertPervert: The "pervert" part is undeniable. The "covert" part is at best paper-thin. During the short story "300 Isseis", when one of his clones (whom she thought was the real Issei) used Dress Break on her, she got angry not because she got stripped, but because he didn't do anything else to her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Her initial indifference towards Asia, herself an exiled follower of God, causes Issei to ''snap'' when she [[ShootTheDog attempts to kill Asia]]. Fortunately, she realizes the error of her ways and becomes [[CoolBigSis an older]] [[BigSisterInstinct sister surrogate]] to Asia after the latter [[EasilyForgiven forgives her]] at the end of Volume 3.
* DitzyGenius: Despite frequently spouting off incoherent lines, she's one of the best students in Issei's class.
* DoYouWantToCopulate: She wastes no time in letting Issei know that she wants his genes. She has condoms on hand for whenever he wants to 'practice'.
* DualWielding: Usually wields Durandal but sometimes she wields it alongside Ascalon whenever Issei lends it to her, and eventually with Excalibur. She eventually learns a technique that requires her to dual wield to use it, Cross Crisis.
* DumbMuscle: A debatably accurate accusation often leveled towards her, much to her annoyance. She lacks finesse or technique in combat, and just powers through, making her the exact opposite of dexterity-oriented Kiba. This leads to a hilarious subversion in Volume 14, when she starts using different Excaliburs. Kiba actually starts shedding tears of joy, and the attacking magicians are dumbstruck that the "power idiot" can use techniques.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She made a brief appearance in the post-credits of Season 1 during the announcement for ''NEW''.
* EasilyForgiven: By Asia at the end of Volume 3 when Xenovia undergoes a KarmicTransformation and apologizes for trying to kill her during their first meeting.
* EducationMama: Her son Zen hinted that [[spoiler:she becomes this in the future to the kids as well as being a headmistress, but is laxer compared to other examples since they are more sociable and fighting a war.]]
* EnemyMine: Despite being initially opposed to Devils and Fallen Angels as an exorcist, she and Irina still team up with the Occult Research Club to hunt down the Excalibur fragments.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Accumulated a lot of fangirls during the Rating Games.
* TheExile: She is exiled from the Church as a heretic for understandably learning the truth about God at the end of Volume 3.
* FaithHeelTurn: Subverted -- even after joining Rias's team, she still retains her faith in God.
* FingerlessGloves: The opera variant in her church battle outfit.
* ForeignFanservice: Along with Asia, her nationality is Italian, according to [[AllThereInTheManual official material]].
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her church battle outfit fits her shape.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric/Sanguine hybrid.
* HeelFaceTurn: Although Xenovia isn't a villain, she is converted into a devil and joins the Occult Research Club after finding out the truth about God from Kokabiel.
* HeelRealization: In the Volume 3 finale, she undergoes one after learning that GodIsDead and apologizes for her earlier actions towards Asia.
* TheHeretic: At the end of Volume 3, Xenovia is excommunicated from the Church after finding out that GodIsDead. Fortunately, she makes friends with Asia, a fellow heretic.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She uses the sword Durandal as her WeaponOfChoice.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: She and Irina are [=BFFs=], even after the former became a devil.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Her church battle outfit.
* ImportantHaircut: Her hair was once long in the past, but after going through the vampire mission, she cuts her hair short.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: As Asia, she is hovering between this when she doesn't realize there's a problem with getting naked in a particular situation and a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who fully comprehends what she's doing but does it anyway to achieve her goals.
* InTheHood: Her white cape features this, until she uses the standard Kuoh Academy uniform.
* {{Irony}}: Xenovia, who exorcises devils as a member of the Church, undergoes a KarmicTransformation into a devil courtesy of Rias when she gets exiled for learning about God's death in the volume 3 finale.
* IShallTauntYou: Along with Irina, Xenovia rubs Asia's exile in her face to Issei's understandable frustration. Later on, she taunts Kiba for becoming a stray devil.
* KnightTemplar: When we first meet her, Xenovia believes in upholding the faith of the Church, even willing to kill Devils if absolutely necessary... until she learns that GodIsDead.
* TheLadette: As a result of being raised first and foremost as an exorcist. Her speech patterns are decidedly unfeminine compared to other girls in the series, and she's out of touch with what's considered girly activity.
* LeeroyJenkins: She always charges into battle before anyone else. Issei doesn't react well to it.
* LeotardOfPower: And has her sword to back it up.
* LongHairIsFeminine: In the past, she grew her hair out for this reason, even though she also found in a hindrance in battle. After it gets caught in a fight with a Vampire, she cuts it down to its current length.
* MarryThemAll: After Issei proposes to Rias and declares his love for Akeno in front of a crowd, she becomes determined to make him "take responsibility" for her, Irina, and Asia as well. ''She'' later proposes to ''him'' during a Rating Game match, and he accepts. Oddly, perhaps due to her Christian upbringing, her proposal is the first one to use conventional marriage terms; with Rias, he asks her to "lead the same life" as him, while Xenovia specifically asks to be his bride.
* MasterSwordswoman: As an exorcist and a bishop, Xenovia's capable of using swords.
* MentorArchetype: [[spoiler:She teaches her fellow students as a school headmistress by the time ''EX'' rolls around]].
* MorphWeapon: Knows how to use Mimic thanks to Irina.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution:
** Done with any talks before the fight? [[LeeroyJenkins She'll fire off the first blow before anyone else, much to Issei's consternation]].
** She ''really'' wanted to kill Diodora, but [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Shalba beat her to it]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While she doesn't utter the phrase, her shocked expression just screams this when she realizes how harsh she was towards Asia in Volume 3 after the battle with Kokabiel and apologizes to Asia for it.
* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse. After befriending Asia, Xenovia's repeatedly beaten herself up for calling her a witch during their first meeting.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Her first name is a misspelled version of Zenobia, the famous warrior-queen from Palmyra (now modern Syria).
* NoSocialSkills: Talks about condoms and having babies to Issei ''out loud'' in front of ''everybody''. Needless to say, she doesn't have the slightest social grace due to her having grown up as a member of the Church.
* NotSoDifferent: In Volume 3, Xenovia calls Asia a witch due to the latter's excommunication from the Church for healing Devils. However, Xenovia comes to sympathize with Asia after the former ironically gets excommunicated from the church towards the end of the volume for knowing the truth about God, knowing all-too-well what it feels like to have those that you trust turn your backs on you.
* OnlyOneName: She was only referred to as Xenovia until her last name Quarta was revealed in Volume 19.
* PillarOfLight: What happens when she combines Durandal with Ascalon.
* RaisedCatholic: Like Asia, she was also raised in a Catholic church, hence her lack of experience with the real world.
* RankUp: When Sona graduates, she becomes the Student Council President of Kuoh Academy.
* RunningGag: Has a tendency to literally kick Issei out of bed when they ([[CantHaveSexEver again, literally]]) sleep together.
* SensualSpandex: Her church battle outfit.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: She is excommunicated from the Church after learning that GodIsDead all along.
* ShootTheDog: She views killing Asia and Kiba as this, given how devils are considered enemies of the Church. Issei disagreed.
* SkunkStripe: She dyes one of her hair strands green after cutting it short.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Xenovia or Zenobia? (It's actually Zenovia, as written in katakana since it is the modern form of Zenobia. However, since Xenovia is the most popular [[AscendedFanon within fan translations and the official subs]], it sticks and becomes official).
* TheStoic: She's a very calm, cool and collected warrior and almost shows no emotion on her face when she first appears.
* StudentCouncilPresident: The main reason why she wants to be a DumbassNoMore.She takes Sona's place when she graduates by the end of Volume 19. In ''EX'', Xenovia [[UptoEleven ups the ante]] by becoming a school headmistress.
* StuffBlowingUp: She blows up everything with her sword.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Share this role with Asia. Being a demon didn't stop her from being religious at all.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy compared to Asia and Irina.
* TookALevelInKindness: She is introduced as a stoic and level-headed exorcist who is willing to uphold the Church's beliefs, even resorting to killing devils or heretics where necessary. Once she becomes a devil at the end of volume 3, Xenovia becomes a friendly and lovable goofball.
* TooManyBelts: Has multiple belts on her legs, arms, under her breasts, and wears one as ''underwear''. Gets taken UpToEleven in one of the illustrator's artworks where she wears them ''[[http://images.wikia.com/highschooldxd/images/c/c0/Highschool_dxd_0002.jpg as a swimsuit!]]''
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Issei, as she asks Issei to let her join his peerage when he becomes a High-Class Devil. [[spoiler:Which she does upon his promotion in Volume 22.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: The addition of Excalibur to her Durandal provides her with a wide range of abilities, but she doesn't know how to use most of them very well and generally sticks to brute force.
* VaporWear: Irina reveals that Xenovia doesn't have any undergarments in her uniform.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Apparently is afraid of her swordmaster-turned-Angel, as shown in her short story.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Just like Asia, Xenovia is unable to return to the Church due to her excommunication.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has blue hair with a green fringe in front.

[[folder:Rossweisse]]
!!Rossweisse
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/25511b8c19fa14d661875d6fa463f2fa.png]]
->'''Role:''' Rook\\
'''Species:''' Valkyrie / Reincarnated Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKakuma (Japanese) and Mallorie Rodak (English)
One of the valkyries under the service of Odin, Rossweisse accompanies Odin to watch the Rating Games. Turns out, she hasn't gathered a single warrior for Ragnarok. After being abandoned by Odin, Rossweisse is reincarnated as a devil, joins the Occult Research Club as Rias's Rook and a second advisor, and becomes a civics teacher at Kuoh Academy. She is traded to Issei upon his promotion to High-Class Devil, making her Issei's first Rook.
----
* AccentSlipUp: She usually speaks in {{Keigo}}, but slips into a country accent when she's talking to her grandmother or embarrassed.
* AffectionateNickname: She is called Rose by her grandmother Gondul.
* ArrangedMarriage: In volume 24, [[spoiler: it is mentioned that her grandmother Gondul made a deal with the Asgardian top brass to marry her to one of the gods. Her groom-to-be? Vidarr, Odin's third son and current ruler of Asgard himself.]] Though given the ForegoneConclusion from ''EX'', Issei is able to call this off since [[spoiler:Vidar isn't interested in marrying her in the first place]].
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Helmwige.
* BadassInANiceSuit: She usually wears a black business suit as a civics teacher and is capable of moping the floor with other enemies.
* BadassTeacher: She is the civics teacher at Kuoh Academy from time to time.
* BarrierMaiden: Both in literal and figurative sense, as [[spoiler: ''EX'' shows that she has completed her sealing technique first mentioned in Volume 17 which is capable of containing a God-Class being in a black spherical barrier. However, the seal is still not perfect and requires frequent reinforcing.]]
* BathtubBonding: Joins Issei in the male's bath at Sona's Rating Game School's Dormitory. She asks Issei to kill her if she is used by Euclid but he refused that, by saying he wouldn't hand her over and before she could give her reply [[MoodKiller Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Koneko and Ravel walk in]] and [[ClingyJealousGirl jump in when they see them together.]]
* BerserkButton:
** For the love of Valhalla, do ''not'' suggest that her somewhat prudish ways are the reason that she doesn't have a boyfriend, assuming she doesn't simply break down crying, or she will blast you with her magic. Issei found that out the hard way.
** After volume 7, the mere sight of Odin is enough to piss Rossweisse off, who considers his replacement valkyrie to be a knockoff. Odin appropriately panics the moment he sees Rossweisse again in volume 10.
** Destroying her clothes she bought on sale tends to tick her off.
* BlatantLies: Asking Issei about his preferences and saying his opinion is an "example".
* BodyguardBabes: She serves as one to Odin up until the end of Volume 7.
* BodyguardingABadass: There should have been no reason why Odin needed her at all [[BadassInCharge considering what he can do.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a Valkyrie, so this is a given. And she has the 4th largest breasts in the series at 96 cm/38[=''=], right behind Akeno (in first place), Rias (in second place) and Kuroka (in third place).
* BreastExpansion: Inverted like Rias when her breasts shrink [[spoiler:to power Issei's Nyuutron Beam Cannon against Thanatos]]. As with Rias, Issei sheds mournful tears despite the change being temporary.
* BrokenPedestal: Odin becomes one to her at the end of Volume 7. She is introduced as his bodyguard, often taking care of him on trips and supporting his life. She often tries to get Odin off of his perverted antics. Unfortunately for Rossweisse, Odin abandons her after the battle with Loki. Since then, the mere sight of Odin becomes a BerserkButton for her.
* ButtMonkey: She doesn't have it quite as bad as Issei, but she still has her sore spot about lacking a boyfriend frequently brought up, is implied to have financial struggles, joined Rias because Odin abandoned her, has her jersey stripped off by Issei's Dress Break, and can't handle alcohol at all.
* CannotSpitItOut: When it comes to finding a boyfriend, she isn't completely honest about her feelings, at least until [[spoiler:volume 25]].
* CantHoldHerLiquor: As opposed to Grayfia, one cup of sake leads to slurred speech, and two leaves her with a hangover, [[VomitDiscretionShot sufficiently non-detailed nausea]], [[AlcoholHic hiccups]] and a staggered stumble.
* CelibateHeroine: The reason she’s so far ahead academically compared to others of her age is because, unlike the other valkyries, she put romance to the side in favor of studying. She’s clearly regretting the results now, though.
* ChristmasCake: Constantly teased by Odin about this, despite the fact that she's just about as old as the rest of the Club.
* ConflictingLoyalty: She has a brief moment of this in volume 22 between Issei and Rias when both of them are entering the Azazel Cup independently but Rias has her join Issei.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Being abandoned by Odin at the end of volume 7 gave Rossweisse the perfect opportunity to join the Occult Research Club.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In the volume 7 finale, Rossweisse joins the Occult Research Club not only for financial reasons, but also to essentially give a "screw you" to Odin, who abandoned her shortly after Loki's defeat.
* DrowningMySorrows: She's been drinking alcohol ever since she became Odin's bodyguard.
* ExpressiveHair: [[DownplayedTrope Her two antennae at any rate, and only sometimes.]]

* InstantArmor: While it presumably doesn't have the same protective measures as Issei's Scale Mail, she has the ability to instantly switch out whatever she's wearing for her valkyrie armor.

* ItsPersonal: Her resentment of Odin is personal, because of how he abandoned her at the end of volume 7.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:She becomes part of Issei's Peerage upon his promotion into a High-Class Devil, but unlike Asia, Ravel and Xenovia who expressed a desire to join prior, Rias simply traded her into his peerage.]]
* LeotardOfPower: Included with her valkyrie armor.
* MagicKnight: She wears armor like a knight, but her skill lies in her magic. Issei describes her as a "moving cannon" as a result of her being a wizard-type Rook.
* MentorArchetype: She teaches as a civics professor at Kuoh Academy.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Though it's bordering to SoLastSeason and EleventhHourSuperpower since the novel's went into its final arc, she gets some much needed firepower by obtaining [[spoiler:Mistleteinn, the famous weapon that killed Baldr in the original Norse myths]]. [[ArrangedMarriage There's a catch for that]].

* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name is pronounced ross-vais-sah (rhymes with boss buys dah), in keeping with her Norse mythological origins.

Even Koneko, who often snarks at and punishes Issei for his perversions, isn’t completely averse toward intimacy. She’s [[OhCrap mortified]] when Issei strips her with [[FingerPokeOfDoom Dress]] [[TheNudifier Break]] ([[SkewedPriorities though she’s more upset about the cost of replacing the clothes]]) and wears a ModestyTowel when the other girls happily go into baths naked with him, only sharing a proper nude bath with him once when she went over to the boys' side while the girls' side didn't have heat, mistakenly believing that nobody was there.

* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Rossweisse and Helmwige are the names of some of the Valkyries featured in Richard Wagner's ''[[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung Der Ring des Nibelungen]]''.
* SkewedPriorities: When fighting Issei in Volume 9 to prevent him from peeping on the girls in his class, Issei manages to end the fight with his [[FingerPokeOfDoom Dress]] [[TheNudifier Break]]. She gets upset... because the clothes she was wearing at the time had been on sale and will cost more to replace. It's a moment later that [[DelayedOhCrap she]] ''[[DelayedOhCrap suddenly]]'' [[DelayedOhCrap realizes that]] [[ClothingDamage she's been stripped naked]], much to Issei's confusion.
* StatuesqueStunner: Not only does she stand at 173 cm/5'8[=''=] tall, but she's one of the club's attractive female characters in the series.
* {{Valkyries}}: She is introduced as Odin's bodyguard, and apparently holds the record for the longest time accompanying him.
* WomanScorned: Given how Odin abandoned her at the end of volume 7, she loses her cool whenever she sees him afterwards.
* {{Yandere}}: At least according to Issei's description of her after chasing down Odin in Volume 10.
* YankTheDogsChain: After volume 7, she's abandoned by Odin.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Odin abandons her towards the end of Volume 7, which leads to Rossweisse joining the Occult Research Club.

!!Ravel Phenex
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ravel_attire_1.png]]
->'''Role:''' Bishop\\
'''Species:''' Pure Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Asuka Nishi (Japanese) and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English)
The only daughter in the Phenex family, Ravel serves in her brother Riser's peerage as his Bishop and participated in the Rating Game against the Gremory family. Following Riser's defeat, she becomes a free bishop. Eventually, she becomes a first-year transfer student at Kuoh Academy and joins the Occult Research Club. Following the success of Issei's television series, she becomes his manager in the Underworld. After Issei's promotion to High Class Devil, she is traded to him by Lady Phenex, making her Issei's second Bishop.
----
* AnimalJingoism: She has a bird motif, while Koneko has a cat motif; the two don't get along well given their battle at Riser's Rating Game.
* AnimalMotifs: The phoenix, which fits her surname.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Robertina.
* BathtubBonding: She walks in on Issei bathing and joins him in Volume 14. At first, Issei is worried that it will be a repeat of the infamous Hot-springs encunter from the Volume 13 short stories, until she starts trying to be intimate with him. Unfortunately for both of them, [[MoodKiller Ophis had other ideas.]]
* BerserkButton: Ravel initially loses it when Koneko calls her a "fried chicken princess".
* BigBrotherWorship: She believes that her brother is so powerful, no one could ever possibly defeat him. Until Issei does.
* TheBusCameBack: She is mostly absent following Riser's defeat aside from sporadic appearances during the Gropin' Dragon campaign and the Young Devils Gathering. By Volume 10, she transfers to Kuoh Academy and becomes a major character in her own right.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Gets jealous when Koneko is sitting on Issei.
* CombatPragmatist: In Ratings Games. Unlike most Devils (including her own brother) who fight with some amount of honor in the spirit of the thing, Ravel is absolutely ruthless in pursuit of victory. Demonstrated in the Rating Game between Issei and Sona in volume DX 4/23.5, where [[spoiler:she nukes Sona's side of the field right out of the gate to deny them any cover or terrain advantage, takes out Tsubaki by exploiting her YaoiFangirl streak, and then - having completely stripped Sona's team of any defensive options - allows Issei and Grayfia to run roughshod over their helpless opposition. It's such a crushing victory Ravel would have gains more points than Sona even if she'd been sniped.]]
* CryCute: At the start of Volume 12, she becomes tearful following Issei's untimely demise, or so she thinks.
* DamselInDistress: She gets captured along with Koneko and Gasper when the Khaos Brigade launches yet another assault on Kuoh Academy.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Volume 14 spends time on Ravel finding Issei a wizard to form a contract with, as well as dealing with a rogue group of magicians that have been manufacturing illicit Phenex tears to sell on the black market.
* FanservicePack: Some illustrations of her either depict her flat-chested or with breasts nearly the same size as Asia's (pictured above). The [[WordOfGod Official Data Book]] later has it that her chest is actually 2cm below Xenovia's, and that her shifting sizes were due to artist error.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic/Choleric hybrid.
* HairAntennae: Like Akeno, she has an antennae that slopes backwards, rather than forwards.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A young, pretty and well-mannered {{Ojou}}.
* HiddenDepths: Seems spoiled and shallow at first. But she's a very organized, clear-headed girl who is a talented baker, with an eidetic memory.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: After volume 11, she becomes a successful business manager for Issei.
* MaliciousMisnaming: When Issei meets Ravel after defeating Riser, he calls her "the fried chicken's little sister." Then, Koneko calls her a "fried chicken princess." Understandably, she gets annoyed.
* MegaTwintails: Her hair is tied into huge twin tails with large, drill-like curls. Oh, and her daughter has [[SerialEscalation four]].
* MentorArchetype: She becomes Issei's manager and eventually [[spoiler:his mentor in his peerage]].
* TheNapoleon: She may be 153 cm/5'0[=''=], but she is not someone you want to screw around with.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She laughs briefly in chapter 20 of the manga, complete with pose, only for Issei to walk past her to her frustration.
* NumberTwo: Because Issei doesn't have a queen yet for his peerage, Ravel serves as his loyal confidante.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Ravel is mentioned wiping out waves of evil dragons in the defense of the Norse territories in volume 21.
* {{Ojou}}: To be expected of the only daughter of the Phenex family.
* OneHeadTaller: With Issei, who is 170 cm/5'7[=''=], while she's only 153 cm/5'0[=''=].
* PlayingWithFire: Uses powerful flamethrowers against evil dragons in Volume 21.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Like Riser, she also has the ability to sprout HotWings.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Her surname comes from the 37th of the 72 demons of the Literature/ArsGoetia, which is, as its name implies, a phoenix.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Despite appearing sporadically after Riser's defeat at the hands of Issei, she makes a full return as a major character in volume 10.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: She doesn't appear in the first teasers of ''Hero'', given that the second half of the season adapts volume 10, where she as a prominent role.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female child of the Phenex family.
* SpoiledSweet: Seems just spoiled at first, but the sweetness manifests when she falls in love with Issei.
* TheStrategist: She is the strategist for Issei's peerage and his Azazel Cup team.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Ravel greatly resembles her mother Lady Phenex with her blonde hair, blue eyes and calm personality.
* SupremeChef: Can cook cakes just fine.
* SweaterGirl: After transferring to Kuoh Academy in Volume 10, she wears a sweater.
* SweetTooth: She has a fondness for eating and making cakes.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Ravel is the girly girl to Koneko's tomboy.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Type B
* UnderestimatingBadassery: In volume 2, she underestimates how Issei can defeat Riser and is proven wrong.
* UndyingLoyalty: She wants to eventually become a Bishop under Issei. [[spoiler:She finally does after he becomes a High-Class Devil in Volume 22.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Koneko, via AnimalJingoism.

[[header:Issei's Peerage]]
After Issei's promotion to High-Class Devil, he was given a set of Evil Pieces allowing him to form his own peerage with himself as King. He traded several of his pieces with Rias in exchange for Asia, Xenovia, and Rossweisse, and one with Lady Phenex in exchange for Ravel, giving him two Bishops, a Knight, and a Rook. After, he recruited the descendant of the original Leviathan, Ingvild, as his Queen.

[[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dxd_06_2301.jpg]]
->'''Role:''' Bishop\\
'''Species:''' Human / Reincarnated Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AzumiAsakura (Japanese), Chloe Daniels (English, 2013-2015) and Creator/LeahClark (English, 2018-present)
--> ''Lord. Can you please listen to my wish? Please protect Ise-san forever. Also... Please allow me to continue living with Ise-san...''
A well-meaning former nun who Issei found and befriended while she was looking for a church in town. As a member of the Roman Catholic Church, she was able to heal everyone who was injured. At some point after healing the devil Diodora Astaroth, however, Asia is exiled as a heretic until she meets Issei. When Asia is killed by Raynare, Rias revives her as her Bishop and Asia joins the Occult Research Club, continuing to use her healing powers in the process. She is traded to Issei upon his promotion to High-Class Devil, making her Issei's first Bishop.
----
* ActualPacifist: Asia's strength lies in healing her comrades, and she has no direct offensive abilities whatsoever.
* AlliterativeName: '''A'''sia '''A'''rgento. Gamebreaking points for having the same initials as her Japanese voice actress.
* AllLovingHeroine: Asia loves everyone. Even when she was still a human, she didn't resent Devils and treated everyone equally, regardless of what they were. Azazel comments that this could be a potential drawback to her long-distance healing powers, as she probably wouldn't have the heart to ignore her enemies' injuries.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The Church exiled her when she was discovered to heal angels, humans ''and'' devils such as Diodora.
* TheAloner: She becomes a hermit in her backstory after being exiled from the Church, using her powers for healing others.
* AmusingInjuries: Apparently her nun training is still pretty well-ingrained. If she's relieved, she usually says something like "Thank God" followed by a whimper of pain since devils cannot pray. However, there's really no excuse for her trying to read Literature/TheBible repeatedly even though it has the same effect.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Delivers an awesome one towards Diodora when he insulted Issei.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Airi.
* BackFromTheDead: She is killed during the removal of her sacred gear at the end of Volume 1, but is revived, and subsequently added to the Occult Research Club, by Rias shortly afterwards. [[LateArrivalSpoiler This is common knowledge.]]
* BarrierWarrior: She becomes one in volume 20. When the Fafnir sacred gear goes balance breaker, Rizevim's most powerful attacks can't get through, and he has to flee from a very, '''very''' pissed off Issei.
* BathtubBonding: The anime openly shows her being the first girl in Ise's harem to bathe with him, at her request no less. Issei's mom walks in on them and gets the wrong idea...
---> "Honey! We're going to be seeing our grandchild soon!"
* BettyAndVeronica: After Rias moved to the Hyoudou residence in Volume 2, she was the Betty to Rias's (and later Akeno and Xenovia) Veronica.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Made pacts with Four mass-produced evil dragons, which was only possible for Evil Gods.
* BreastExpansion: In Volume 23, [[spoiler:Issei explicitly states that Asia's boobs has grown to Irina and Xenovia's size.]] Justified, since Asia is still in the later parts of a woman's growth stage (where it usually ends at early twenties) and that she is a devil, as Ravel states her demonic energy and desires to have a big bust for Issei helps her grow.
* BurnTheWitch: Asia was persecuted as TheHeretic when she was discovered to be able to heal not only angels and humans, but also devils thanks to Diodora.
* ClingyJealousGirl: It starts to show up a lot more after Rias moves in with him and her in his parents' house. As a result, if Asia sees Rias doing something perverted, she'll attempt to join in. For example, if she sees Rias naked in bed with Issei, she'll start stripping off her clothes as well. She's generally too mild-mannered to start any actual conflict, though.
* ClubPresident: She replaces Rias as the club's president at the end of Volume 19.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Gets better as she becomes more exposed to the world.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Asia is lucky that Vali and his group are around at the Dimension Gap searching for Gogmagog, otherwise she would have died.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Issei first meets her after she trips. Also shows up in her and Koneko's spinoff manga.
* DamselInDistress: Twice in fact. The first time was when Twilight Healing was taken away from her and the second time was when Diodora held her hostage. Because of her tendency to become this, Issei and Xenovia eventually made it their vow to preemptively crush everything that will pose a threat to her. Asia's future self has also been cursed by Loki to grow weaker every day, with the kids coming back to both stop him and find a way to rescue her.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was abandoned by her parents when she was a baby at a church doorstep. She was raised in that church and sometime during her childhood, she gained the ability to use her Twilight Healing. She was eventually persecuted as a heretic for healing Diodora Astaroth, a devil.
* DisneyDeath: In Volume 6, she is sent to the dimensional gap by Shalba Beelzebub, a member of the Old Satan Faction. While this provokes Issei into giving Shalba a CurbStompBattle, she is rescued by Vali, who happened upon her body while traversing the void.
* DoorstopBaby: According to her {{backstory}}, her parents left her behind at a church doorstep.
* TheExile: Asia is exiled from the Church when she heals Diodora. Turns out that Diodora planned this from the beginning.
* FanservicePack: She becomes considerably more attractive in volume 23, where her breasts become larger and this is carried over to ''Hero''.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Diodora was rescued by Asia when she first meets him. Too bad it was all part of Diodora's schemes.
* FirstKiss: Asia shares her first kiss with Issei.
* ForeignFanservice: She's from Italy.
%%* FourGirlEnsemble: The [[TokenMiniMoe childish]] one.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic, natch.
* FriendlessBackground: Before meeting Issei, Asia laments that she doesn't have any friends.
%% * GreenEyes
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Fits the trope to a T. Sweet, innocent, pure-hearted and a faithful Catholic.
* HappilyAdopted: Sort of. There's no formal adoption, but ''everyone'' acts like Issei's parents are her actual parents, and Issei spends several volumes trying to force himself to think of her as his sister due to feeling incredibly guilty over not being able to save her from Raynare before ultimately giving up on it. Rias even holds the majority of the group back for "clean-up" during a battle in Volume 20 and orders Issei and Asia to go save his parents alone on the grounds that the parents ''should'' be saved by their son and daughter.
** ''EX'' reveals that later in the future, Asia would be officially adopted into the Hyoudou family, along with Ravel, as a way of [[LoopholeAbuse getting around Japan's polygamy laws]]. This is why Airi and Robertina are the only ones with the Hyodou surname.
* HealingHands: She can heal allies at a long distance. If she's near an enemy, the healing aura will just dissolve. She doesn't utilize the Reverse method because it would be risky for the Twilight Healing user (that and she's surrounded by one hell of a BadassCrew anyway).
* TheHeretic: She was excommunicated from the Church after Diodora tricked her into healing him.
* TheHermit: She retreated into complete isolation after being expelled from the Church, using her powers to help people.
* HimeCut: Has this hairstyle, despite being Italian, not Japanese. It fits her gentle and humble personality.
* IdiotHair: She has a strand sticking out of her hair.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Thankfully Issei, Rias and their friends are there for her.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_de-3Gop8 Kagiri Naku Junsui ni Chikai Daten]]
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Is hovering between this when she doesn't realize there's a problem with getting naked in a particular situation and a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who fully comprehends what she's doing but does it anyway to achieve her goals.
* InstantExpert: Picks up demon magic with just a few lessons from Akeno. Then again, it seems to follow a similar process to Twilight Healing, which she's been using all her life.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She's more or less regarded as Issei's adoptive sister, and Issei frequently talks himself out of intimacy with her as if they're biologically related.
* MarryThemAll: She is the first of the haremettes to bring up the subject of polygamy, as Rias is moving into the Hyoudou residence (although she's talking to herself and Issei just overhears her, and, in typical Issei fashion, doesn't know ''why'' she's talking about it). [[spoiler: He finally proposes to her toward the end of Volume 23, one volume after proposing to Rias.]]
* TheMedic: Her role in Ria's peerage is to heal her teammates.
* NiceGirl: Asia is probably one of the nicest devils in the underworld: a special has her thinking up ways to be crueler befitting her new demonic nature, and she comes up with such [[PokeThePoodle unforgivable things]] as stealing milk from the neighbors, switching shoes in shoeboxes, and ignoring erasers that people drop. Even these are enough to bring her to tears and make her start begging God for forgiveness.
* NoPronunciationGuide: In the dub, Issei's father pronounces it the way one says it the English manner (AY-sha), while she corrects him in that it's AH-zyah.
* NoSocialSkills: As a result of being sheltered by the Church for most of her life. For example, she doesn't know how to make orders from a fast-food chain. Though she gets better over time.
* NumberTwo: She is this within the harem, that even Akeno gives her that position; though knowing her fetish for affairs it serves her own purposes. In the [=EX=] future, she's even the second one to give birth to Issei's child and his first daughter.
* OneHeadTaller: With Issei, who is 170 cm/5'7[=''=], while she's only 155 cm/5'1[=''=].
* ParentalSubstitute: Serves as a mother figure to Issei's future children.
* PlayingCardMotifs: In the ending theme of the Season 1 anime, Asia is shown as the Joker, like Issei.
* PowerAtAPrice: For Fafnir to follow her instructions, he just needs a treasure. Unfortunately for Asia, it's her panties.
* RaisedCatholic: She was raised in a church and is a faithful Catholic even after being reincarnated as a Devil.
* RankUp: After Rias's graduation, she becomes the President of the Occult Research Club.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her waist.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some scanlations often use "Aashia" and "Ashia". Some early promotional material didn't help solve this issue either until they resolved it with her current name.
* SummonMagic: This is what Azazel advises to Asia so she could catch up with the rest of the team. So he gives her Fafnir. [[spoiler:Later, her daughter inherited the Dragon King after her mother was cursed by Loki during his time travels.]]
* SupremeChef: Out of all the harem, Asia is believed to be the best in cooking.
* TenderTears: She's quite prone to crying, the reasons ranging from her comrades getting hurt to jealousy over other girls (particularly Rias) making advances on Issei.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Despite being reincarnated as a Devil, Asia still believes in God and follows His teachings such as praying to Him and reading the Bible.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Xenovia's tomboy.
* TouchedByVorlons: Is blessed by Ophis to be able to make pacts with Dragons; the first is Fafnir. (Rassei doesn't count as he is a Familiar).
* {{Tsundere}}: Not her, ''her breasts''! Yes, Issei used [[PowerPerversionPotential his new ability]] to hear what a girl's breasts are saying.
* UndyingLoyalty: After falling in love with Issei, Asia swears that she will always stand by Issei's side forever, and in demon years that is in the thousands. She declares she will join Issei's Peerage when he becomes a High-Class Devil. [[spoiler:And she does upon his promotion in Volume 22!]]
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Fits the trope to a T: profusely compassionate and specializes in healing her teammates.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Asia can't return to the church any longer because she's a heretic.

[[folder:Xenovia Quarta]]
!!Xenovia Quarta
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenovia_new_5682.jpg]]
->'''Role:''' Knight\\
'''Species:''' Human / Reincarnated Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaTaneda (Japanese) and Creator/LaurenLanda [[note]]Credited under the pseudonym "Ramona Newel" for ''New'' and ''[=BorN=]''.[[/note]] (English)
--> ''I will bring judgement upon you with my own hands, in the name of God.''
Raised in the Roman Catholic Church as an exorcist, Xenovia Quarta wields the Holy Sword Durandal. Along with fellow exorcist Irina Shido, Xenovia travels to Kuoh Academy to retrieve the three Excalibur swords that were stolen by Kokabiel. After retrieving the swords, she is exiled from the church for discovering that GodIsDead and joins the Occult Research Club as Rias' Knight. As a student of Kuoh Academy, she intends to become the academy's StudentCouncilPresident, competing against Momo Hanakai and succeeding, forcing her to leave the Occult Research Club. After Issei's promotion to High Class Devil, she is traded to him by Rias, making her Issei's first Knight.
----
* TheAce: She's one of the smartest at her class much to Issei's surprise. This is more impressive since when she first started attending Kuoh, she wasn't literate [[note]]Literacy in Japanese involves being able to read not only the "alphabet", but also the 100 most common Kanji (of thousands)[[/note]] and mentions pulling all-nighters so she can learn to read the classwork properly. [[spoiler: In the future, she rose up her ante, becoming a headmistress of a cram school.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: By the time of volume 4, she is excommunicated from the Church for understandably learning that GodIsDead. Her status as a heretic is ultimately what leads to her reconciliation and friendship with Asia, who was equally considered one.
* AmusingInjuries: Like Asia, she gets headaches whenever she tries to pray after reincarnating as a devil until Issei asks Michael to let the two do so without resistance.
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: When Issei's clone uses Dress Break on her in a side story, she gets mad... because he didn't take advantage of her afterward.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She is a badass swordswoman who eventually becomes the Student Council President and [[spoiler:a headmistress of her own school]].
* AttackAttackAttack: Something Kiba notes that she really needs to get out of. Which finally happens in Volume 14.]
* TheAtoner: After learning that GodIsDead, she atones for her misdeeds towards Asia and felt the need to become her friend.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a son with Issei, named Zen.
* BadassCape: Her white hooded cloak with gold and blue accents.
* BadassTeacher: In ''EX'', she teaches her students as their headmistress from time to time.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: A heroic example. After the Occult Research Club's battle with Kokabiel, Xenovia goes from a devoted Catholic exorcist to a devil, the very species that serve as the Church's enemies.
* {{BFS}}: Durandal is a pretty big sword.
* BigSisterInstinct: When Asia is taken by Diodora, she ''vaporizes'' two devils who got in her way.
* BikerBabe: Volume [=DX3=] reveals that she's gotten a motorcycle license. She seems to have an issue with speeding, though.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Like most others of the Church, she initially views devils, heretics and fallen angels as enemies. Though to be fair, she also didn't know that in actuality GodIsDead until it was too late.
* BoyishShortHair: She cut her hair short after a dangerous mission involving a vampire.
* BrokenPedestal: She loses her trust with the Church, whom she once admired, after learning that GodIsDead the whole time and she is exiled.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Even moreso than Asia. Once she has her HeelFaceTurn, she gets very jealous when she sees Asia or any other girl is about to do naughty things to Issei to the point where she strips and attempts to seduce him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Lacks a lot of common sense, due to living most of her life sheltered in the Church like Asia.
* TheCoatsAreOff: She takes off her cape when she is ready to fight, until she becomes a member of the Occult Research Club.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her normal voice, provided by both Creator/RisaTaneda in Japanese and Creator/LaurenLanda in English, is made more evident when she practiced "how to be a normal teenage girl"
--> '''Xenovia:''' (Voice several pitches higher than her usual coarse-and-masculine contralto) Let's get along, 'kay, Issei-kun!
--> '''Issei:''' That cutesey voice does ''not'' suit you!
--> '''Xenovia:''' (Switches straight back to her normal-unfeminine voice) I know, I tried to copy Irina, and it was ''so'' difficult.
* CoolBigSis: She becomes an older sister surrogate to Asia towards the end of Volume 3.
* CoolSword: She's the current wielder of Durandal, her main weapon.
* CovertPervert: The "pervert" part is undeniable. The "covert" part is at best paper-thin. During the short story "300 Isseis", when one of his clones (whom she thought was the real Issei) used Dress Break on her, she got angry not because she got stripped, but because he didn't do anything else to her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Her initial indifference towards Asia, herself an exiled follower of God, causes Issei to ''snap'' when she [[ShootTheDog attempts to kill Asia]]. Fortunately, she realizes the error of her ways and becomes [[CoolBigSis an older]] [[BigSisterInstinct sister surrogate]] to Asia after the latter [[EasilyForgiven forgives her]] at the end of Volume 3.
* DitzyGenius: Despite frequently spouting off incoherent lines, she's one of the best students in Issei's class.
* DoYouWantToCopulate: She wastes no time in letting Issei know that she wants his genes. She has condoms on hand for whenever he wants to 'practice'.
* DualWielding: Usually wields Durandal but sometimes she wields it alongside Ascalon whenever Issei lends it to her, and eventually with Excalibur. She eventually learns a technique that requires her to dual wield to use it, Cross Crisis.
* DumbMuscle: A debatably accurate accusation often leveled towards her, much to her annoyance. She lacks finesse or technique in combat, and just powers through, making her the exact opposite of dexterity-oriented Kiba. This leads to a hilarious subversion in Volume 14, when she starts using different Excaliburs. Kiba actually starts shedding tears of joy, and the attacking magicians are dumbstruck that the "power idiot" can use techniques.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She made a brief appearance in the post-credits of Season 1 during the announcement for ''NEW''.
* EasilyForgiven: By Asia at the end of Volume 3 when Xenovia undergoes a KarmicTransformation and apologizes for trying to kill her during their first meeting.
* EducationMama: Her son Zen hinted that [[spoiler:she becomes this in the future to the kids as well as being a headmistress, but is laxer compared to other examples since they are more sociable and fighting a war.]]
* EnemyMine: Despite being initially opposed to Devils and Fallen Angels as an exorcist, she and Irina still team up with the Occult Research Club to hunt down the Excalibur fragments.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Accumulated a lot of fangirls during the Rating Games.
* TheExile: She is exiled from the Church as a heretic for understandably learning the truth about God at the end of Volume 3.
* FaithHeelTurn: Subverted -- even after joining Rias's team, she still retains her faith in God.
* FingerlessGloves: The opera variant in her church battle outfit.
* ForeignFanservice: Along with Asia, her nationality is Italian, according to [[AllThereInTheManual official material]].
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her church battle outfit fits her shape.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric/Sanguine hybrid.
* HeelFaceTurn: Although Xenovia isn't a villain, she is converted into a devil and joins the Occult Research Club after finding out the truth about God from Kokabiel.
* HeelRealization: In the Volume 3 finale, she undergoes one after learning that GodIsDead and apologizes for her earlier actions towards Asia.
* TheHeretic: At the end of Volume 3, Xenovia is excommunicated from the Church after finding out that GodIsDead. Fortunately, she makes friends with Asia, a fellow heretic.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She uses the sword Durandal as her WeaponOfChoice.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: She and Irina are [=BFFs=], even after the former became a devil.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Her church battle outfit.
* ImportantHaircut: Her hair was once long in the past, but after going through the vampire mission, she cuts her hair short.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: As Asia, she is hovering between this when she doesn't realize there's a problem with getting naked in a particular situation and a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who fully comprehends what she's doing but does it anyway to achieve her goals.
* InTheHood: Her white cape features this, until she uses the standard Kuoh Academy uniform.
* {{Irony}}: Xenovia, who exorcises devils as a member of the Church, undergoes a KarmicTransformation into a devil courtesy of Rias when she gets exiled for learning about God's death in the volume 3 finale.
* IShallTauntYou: Along with Irina, Xenovia rubs Asia's exile in her face to Issei's understandable frustration. Later on, she taunts Kiba for becoming a stray devil.
* KnightTemplar: When we first meet her, Xenovia believes in upholding the faith of the Church, even willing to kill Devils if absolutely necessary... until she learns that GodIsDead.
* TheLadette: As a result of being raised first and foremost as an exorcist. Her speech patterns are decidedly unfeminine compared to other girls in the series, and she's out of touch with what's considered girly activity.
* LeeroyJenkins: She always charges into battle before anyone else. Issei doesn't react well to it.
* LeotardOfPower: And has her sword to back it up.
* LongHairIsFeminine: In the past, she grew her hair out for this reason, even though she also found in a hindrance in battle. After it gets caught in a fight with a Vampire, she cuts it down to its current length.
* MarryThemAll: After Issei proposes to Rias and declares his love for Akeno in front of a crowd, she becomes determined to make him "take responsibility" for her, Irina, and Asia as well. ''She'' later proposes to ''him'' during a Rating Game match, and he accepts. Oddly, perhaps due to her Christian upbringing, her proposal is the first one to use conventional marriage terms; with Rias, he asks her to "lead the same life" as him, while Xenovia specifically asks to be his bride.
* MasterSwordswoman: As an exorcist and a bishop, Xenovia's capable of using swords.
* MentorArchetype: [[spoiler:She teaches her fellow students as a school headmistress by the time ''EX'' rolls around]].
* MorphWeapon: Knows how to use Mimic thanks to Irina.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution:
** Done with any talks before the fight? [[LeeroyJenkins She'll fire off the first blow before anyone else, much to Issei's consternation]].
** She ''really'' wanted to kill Diodora, but [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Shalba beat her to it]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While she doesn't utter the phrase, her shocked expression just screams this when she realizes how harsh she was towards Asia in Volume 3 after the battle with Kokabiel and apologizes to Asia for it.
* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse. After befriending Asia, Xenovia's repeatedly beaten herself up for calling her a witch during their first meeting.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Her first name is a misspelled version of Zenobia, the famous warrior-queen from Palmyra (now modern Syria).
* NoSocialSkills: Talks about condoms and having babies to Issei ''out loud'' in front of ''everybody''. Needless to say, she doesn't have the slightest social grace due to her having grown up as a member of the Church.
* NotSoDifferent: In Volume 3, Xenovia calls Asia a witch due to the latter's excommunication from the Church for healing Devils. However, Xenovia comes to sympathize with Asia after the former ironically gets excommunicated from the church towards the end of the volume for knowing the truth about God, knowing all-too-well what it feels like to have those that you trust turn your backs on you.
* OnlyOneName: She was only referred to as Xenovia until her last name Quarta was revealed in Volume 19.
* PillarOfLight: What happens when she combines Durandal with Ascalon.
* RaisedCatholic: Like Asia, she was also raised in a Catholic church, hence her lack of experience with the real world.
* RankUp: When Sona graduates, she becomes the Student Council President of Kuoh Academy.
* RunningGag: Has a tendency to literally kick Issei out of bed when they ([[CantHaveSexEver again, literally]]) sleep together.
* SensualSpandex: Her church battle outfit.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: She is excommunicated from the Church after learning that GodIsDead all along.
* ShootTheDog: She views killing Asia and Kiba as this, given how devils are considered enemies of the Church. Issei disagreed.
* SkunkStripe: She dyes one of her hair strands green after cutting it short.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Xenovia or Zenobia? (It's actually Zenovia, as written in katakana since it is the modern form of Zenobia. However, since Xenovia is the most popular [[AscendedFanon within fan translations and the official subs]], it sticks and becomes official).
* TheStoic: She's a very calm, cool and collected warrior and almost shows no emotion on her face when she first appears.
* StudentCouncilPresident: The main reason why she wants to be a DumbassNoMore.She takes Sona's place when she graduates by the end of Volume 19. In ''EX'', Xenovia [[UptoEleven ups the ante]] by becoming a school headmistress.
* StuffBlowingUp: She blows up everything with her sword.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Share this role with Asia. Being a demon didn't stop her from being religious at all.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy compared to Asia and Irina.
* TookALevelInKindness: She is introduced as a stoic and level-headed exorcist who is willing to uphold the Church's beliefs, even resorting to killing devils or heretics where necessary. Once she becomes a devil at the end of volume 3, Xenovia becomes a friendly and lovable goofball.
* TooManyBelts: Has multiple belts on her legs, arms, under her breasts, and wears one as ''underwear''. Gets taken UpToEleven in one of the illustrator's artworks where she wears them ''[[http://images.wikia.com/highschooldxd/images/c/c0/Highschool_dxd_0002.jpg as a swimsuit!]]''
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Issei, as she asks Issei to let her join his peerage when he becomes a High-Class Devil. [[spoiler:Which she does upon his promotion in Volume 22.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: The addition of Excalibur to her Durandal provides her with a wide range of abilities, but she doesn't know how to use most of them very well and generally sticks to brute force.
* VaporWear: Irina reveals that Xenovia doesn't have any undergarments in her uniform.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Apparently is afraid of her swordmaster-turned-Angel, as shown in her short story.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Just like Asia, Xenovia is unable to return to the Church due to her excommunication.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has blue hair with a green fringe in front.

!!Rossweisse
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/25511b8c19fa14d661875d6fa463f2fa.png]]
->'''Role:''' Rook\\
'''Species:''' Valkyrie / Reincarnated Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKakuma (Japanese) and Mallorie Rodak (English)
One of the valkyries under the service of Odin, Rossweisse accompanies Odin to watch the Rating Games. Turns out, she hasn't gathered a single warrior for Ragnarok. After being abandoned by Odin, Rossweisse is reincarnated as a devil, joins the Occult Research Club as Rias's Rook and a second advisor, and becomes a civics teacher at Kuoh Academy. She is traded to Issei upon his promotion to High-Class Devil, making her Issei's first Rook.
----
* AccentSlipUp: She usually speaks in {{Keigo}}, but slips into a country accent when she's talking to her grandmother or embarrassed.
* AffectionateNickname: She is called Rose by her grandmother Gondul.
* ArrangedMarriage: In volume 24, [[spoiler: it is mentioned that her grandmother Gondul made a deal with the Asgardian top brass to marry her to one of the gods. Her groom-to-be? Vidarr, Odin's third son and current ruler of Asgard himself.]] Though given the ForegoneConclusion from ''EX'', Issei is able to call this off since [[spoiler:Vidar isn't interested in marrying her in the first place]].
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Helmwige.
* BadassInANiceSuit: She usually wears a black business suit as a civics teacher and is capable of moping the floor with other enemies.
* BadassTeacher: She is the civics teacher at Kuoh Academy from time to time.
* BarrierMaiden: Both in literal and figurative sense, as [[spoiler: ''EX'' shows that she has completed her sealing technique first mentioned in Volume 17 which is capable of containing a God-Class being in a black spherical barrier. However, the seal is still not perfect and requires frequent reinforcing.]]
* BathtubBonding: Joins Issei in the male's bath at Sona's Rating Game School's Dormitory. She asks Issei to kill her if she is used by Euclid but he refused that, by saying he wouldn't hand her over and before she could give her reply [[MoodKiller Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Koneko and Ravel walk in]] and [[ClingyJealousGirl jump in when they see them together.]]
* BerserkButton:
** For the love of Valhalla, do ''not'' suggest that her somewhat prudish ways are the reason that she doesn't have a boyfriend, assuming she doesn't simply break down crying, or she will blast you with her magic. Issei found that out the hard way.
** After volume 7, the mere sight of Odin is enough to piss Rossweisse off, who considers his replacement valkyrie to be a knockoff. Odin appropriately panics the moment he sees Rossweisse again in volume 10.
** Destroying her clothes she bought on sale tends to tick her off.
* BlatantLies: Asking Issei about his preferences and saying his opinion is an "example".
* BodyguardBabes: She serves as one to Odin up until the end of Volume 7.
* BodyguardingABadass: There should have been no reason why Odin needed her at all [[BadassInCharge considering what he can do.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a Valkyrie, so this is a given. And she has the 4th largest breasts in the series at 96 cm/38[=''=], right behind Akeno (in first place), Rias (in second place) and Kuroka (in third place).
* BreastExpansion: Inverted like Rias when her breasts shrink [[spoiler:to power Issei's Nyuutron Beam Cannon against Thanatos]]. As with Rias, Issei sheds mournful tears despite the change being temporary.
* BrokenPedestal: Odin becomes one to her at the end of Volume 7. She is introduced as his bodyguard, often taking care of him on trips and supporting his life. She often tries to get Odin off of his perverted antics. Unfortunately for Rossweisse, Odin abandons her after the battle with Loki. Since then, the mere sight of Odin becomes a BerserkButton for her.
* ButtMonkey: She doesn't have it quite as bad as Issei, but she still has her sore spot about lacking a boyfriend frequently brought up, is implied to have financial struggles, joined Rias because Odin abandoned her, has her jersey stripped off by Issei's Dress Break, and can't handle alcohol at all.
* CannotSpitItOut: When it comes to finding a boyfriend, she isn't completely honest about her feelings, at least until [[spoiler:volume 25]].
* CantHoldHerLiquor: As opposed to Grayfia, one cup of sake leads to slurred speech, and two leaves her with a hangover, [[VomitDiscretionShot sufficiently non-detailed nausea]], [[AlcoholHic hiccups]] and a staggered stumble.
* CelibateHeroine: The reason she’s so far ahead academically compared to others of her age is because, unlike the other valkyries, she put romance to the side in favor of studying. She’s clearly regretting the results now, though.
* ChristmasCake: Constantly teased by Odin about this, despite the fact that she's just about as old as the rest of the Club.
* ConflictingLoyalty: She has a brief moment of this in volume 22 between Issei and Rias when both of them are entering the Azazel Cup independently but Rias has her join Issei.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Being abandoned by Odin at the end of volume 7 gave Rossweisse the perfect opportunity to join the Occult Research Club.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In the volume 7 finale, Rossweisse joins the Occult Research Club not only for financial reasons, but also to essentially give a "screw you" to Odin, who abandoned her shortly after Loki's defeat.
* DrowningMySorrows: She's been drinking alcohol ever since she became Odin's bodyguard.
* ExpressiveHair: [[DownplayedTrope Her two antennae at any rate, and only sometimes.]]
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric.
* HairAntennae: And unlike Akeno's, they express her feelings on rare occasions.
* HairDecorations: She wears wing clips on her hair.
* HotForStudent: Becomes this after falling in love with Issei. She's only about a year older than him, though.
* HotTeacher: One of the teachers of Kuoh Academy despite being near Issei's age.
* InelegantBlubbering: She's prone to this whenever her lack of a boyfriend is brought up.
* InstantArmor: While it presumably doesn't have the same protective measures as Issei's Scale Mail, she has the ability to instantly switch out whatever she's wearing for her valkyrie armor.
* InstantRunes: She can make multiple magic circles in an instant, the anime shows them well during the battle with Loki where she makes a dozen in an instant.
* ItsPersonal: Her resentment of Odin is personal, because of how he abandoned her at the end of volume 7.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:She becomes part of Issei's Peerage upon his promotion into a High-Class Devil, but unlike Asia, Ravel and Xenovia who expressed a desire to join prior, Rias simply traded her into his peerage.]]
* LeotardOfPower: Included with her valkyrie armor.
* MagicKnight: She wears armor like a knight, but her skill lies in her magic. Issei describes her as a "moving cannon" as a result of her being a wizard-type Rook.
* MentorArchetype: She teaches as a civics professor at Kuoh Academy.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Though it's bordering to SoLastSeason and EleventhHourSuperpower since the novel's went into its final arc, she gets some much needed firepower by obtaining [[spoiler:Mistleteinn, the famous weapon that killed Baldr in the original Norse myths]]. [[ArrangedMarriage There's a catch for that]].
* MysticalWhiteHair: Silver hair is befitting of a mystical valkyrie.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name is pronounced ross-vais-sah (rhymes with boss buys dah), in keeping with her Norse mythological origins.
* NumberTwo: She serves as one of Odin's bodyguards until she gets abandoned in the volume 7 finale. Afterwards she typically becomes Azazel's whenever meetings for the allied forces occur, or when he needs to ditch schoolwork off on her.
* OneHeadTaller: Than Issei, standing at 173 cm/5'8[=''=] tall, while he's 170 cm/5'7[=''=] tall.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes all the way down to her knees.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She has a fairly level-headed disposition as one of Kuoh Academy's civics teachers.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She’s notable for being one of the more conservative girls in the Club. Even Koneko, who often snarks at and punishes Issei for his perversions, isn’t completely averse toward intimacy. She’s [[OhCrap mortified]] when Issei strips her with [[FingerPokeOfDoom Dress]] [[TheNudifier Break]] ([[SkewedPriorities though she’s more upset about the cost of replacing the clothes]]) and wears a ModestyTowel when the other girls happily go into baths naked with him, only sharing a proper nude bath with him once when she went over to the boys' side while the girls' side didn't have heat, mistakenly believing that nobody was there.
* RescueRomance: Falls in love with Issei after he saves her from Euclid.
* SemiDivine: She is described as a Half-God, and the term "Valkyrie" appears to refer to her occupation rather than her race.
* SenseiChan: She becomes a teacher at Kuoh Academy upon joining Rias' peerage.
* SeriousBusiness: She tries to save money as much as possible, preferring to shop in 100-yen shops, and her first complaint when Issei's Dress Break destroys her clothes is about what it'll cost her to replace them.
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Rossweisse and Helmwige are the names of some of the Valkyries featured in Richard Wagner's ''[[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung Der Ring des Nibelungen]]''.
* SkewedPriorities: When fighting Issei in Volume 9 to prevent him from peeping on the girls in his class, Issei manages to end the fight with his [[FingerPokeOfDoom Dress]] [[TheNudifier Break]]. She gets upset... because the clothes she was wearing at the time had been on sale and will cost more to replace. It's a moment later that [[DelayedOhCrap she]] ''[[DelayedOhCrap suddenly]]'' [[DelayedOhCrap realizes that]] [[ClothingDamage she's been stripped naked]], much to Issei's confusion.
* StatuesqueStunner: Not only does she stand at 173 cm/5'8[=''=] tall, but she's one of the club's attractive female characters in the series.
* {{Valkyries}}: She is introduced as Odin's bodyguard, and apparently holds the record for the longest time accompanying him.
* WomanScorned: Given how Odin abandoned her at the end of volume 7, she loses her cool whenever she sees him afterwards.
* {{Yandere}}: At least according to Issei's description of her after chasing down Odin in Volume 10.
* YankTheDogsChain: After volume 7, she's abandoned by Odin.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Odin abandons her towards the end of Volume 7, which leads to Rossweisse joining the Occult Research Club.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Looks and acts like a mature person, but is only around the group's age.

->'''Role:''' Bishop\\
'''Species:''' Pure Devil\\
'''Voiced by:''' Asuka Nishi (Japanese) and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English)
The only daughter in the Phenex family, Ravel serves in her brother Riser's peerage as his Bishop and participated in the Rating Game against the Gremory family. Following Riser's defeat, she becomes a free bishop. Eventually, she becomes a first-year transfer student at Kuoh Academy and joins the Occult Research Club. Following the success of Issei's television series, she becomes his manager in the Underworld. After Issei's promotion to High Class Devil, she is traded to him by Lady Phenex, making her Issei's second Bishop.
----

* AnimalMotifs: The phoenix, which fits her surname.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the future, she has a daughter with Issei, named Robertina.
* BathtubBonding: She walks in on Issei bathing and joins him in Volume 14. At first, Issei is worried that it will be a repeat of the infamous Hot-springs encunter from the Volume 13 short stories, until she starts trying to be intimate with him. Unfortunately for both of them, [[MoodKiller Ophis had other ideas.]]
* BerserkButton: Ravel initially loses it when Koneko calls her a "fried chicken princess".
* BigBrotherWorship: She believes that her brother is so powerful, no one could ever possibly defeat him. Until Issei does.
* TheBusCameBack: She is mostly absent following Riser's defeat aside from sporadic appearances during the Gropin' Dragon campaign and the Young Devils Gathering. By Volume 10, she transfers to Kuoh Academy and becomes a major character in her own right.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Gets jealous when Koneko is sitting on Issei.
* CombatPragmatist: In Ratings Games. Unlike most Devils (including her own brother) who fight with some amount of honor in the spirit of the thing, Ravel is absolutely ruthless in pursuit of victory. Demonstrated in the Rating Game between Issei and Sona in volume DX 4/23.5, where [[spoiler:she nukes Sona's side of the field right out of the gate to deny them any cover or terrain advantage, takes out Tsubaki by exploiting her YaoiFangirl streak, and then - having completely stripped Sona's team of any defensive options - allows Issei and Grayfia to run roughshod over their helpless opposition. It's such a crushing victory Ravel would have gains more points than Sona even if she'd been sniped.]]
* CryCute: At the start of Volume 12, she becomes tearful following Issei's untimely demise, or so she thinks.
* DamselInDistress: She gets captured along with Koneko and Gasper when the Khaos Brigade launches yet another assault on Kuoh Academy.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Volume 14 spends time on Ravel finding Issei a wizard to form a contract with, as well as dealing with a rogue group of magicians that have been manufacturing illicit Phenex tears to sell on the black market.
* FanservicePack: Some illustrations of her either depict her flat-chested or with breasts nearly the same size as Asia's (pictured above). The [[WordOfGod Official Data Book]] later has it that her chest is actually 2cm below Xenovia's, and that her shifting sizes were due to artist error.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic/Choleric hybrid.
* HairAntennae: Like Akeno, she has an antennae that slopes backwards, rather than forwards.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A young, pretty and well-mannered {{Ojou}}.
* HiddenDepths: Seems spoiled and shallow at first. But she's a very organized, clear-headed girl who is a talented baker, with an eidetic memory.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: After volume 11, she becomes a successful business manager for Issei.
* MaliciousMisnaming: When Issei meets Ravel after defeating Riser, he calls her "the fried chicken's little sister." Then, Koneko calls her a "fried chicken princess." Understandably, she gets annoyed.
* MegaTwintails: Her hair is tied into huge twin tails with large, drill-like curls. Oh, and her daughter has [[SerialEscalation four]].
* MentorArchetype: She becomes Issei's manager and eventually [[spoiler:his mentor in his peerage]].
* TheNapoleon: She may be 153 cm/5'0[=''=], but she is not someone you want to screw around with.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She laughs briefly in chapter 20 of the manga, complete with pose, only for Issei to walk past her to her frustration.
* NumberTwo: Because Issei doesn't have a queen yet for his peerage, Ravel serves as his loyal confidante.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Ravel is mentioned wiping out waves of evil dragons in the defense of the Norse territories in volume 21.
* {{Ojou}}: To be expected of the only daughter of the Phenex family.
* OneHeadTaller: With Issei, who is 170 cm/5'7[=''=], while she's only 153 cm/5'0[=''=].
* PlayingWithFire: Uses powerful flamethrowers against evil dragons in Volume 21.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Like Riser, she also has the ability to sprout HotWings.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Her surname comes from the 37th of the 72 demons of the Literature/ArsGoetia, which is, as its name implies, a phoenix.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Despite appearing sporadically after Riser's defeat at the hands of Issei, she makes a full return as a major character in volume 10.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: She doesn't appear in the first teasers of ''Hero'', given that the second half of the season adapts volume 10, where she as a prominent role.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female child of the Phenex family.
* SpoiledSweet: Seems just spoiled at first, but the sweetness manifests when she falls in love with Issei.
* TheStrategist: She is the strategist for Issei's peerage and his Azazel Cup team.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Ravel greatly resembles her mother Lady Phenex with her blonde hair, blue eyes and calm personality.
* SupremeChef: Can cook cakes just fine.
* SweaterGirl: After transferring to Kuoh Academy in Volume 10, she wears a sweater.
* SweetTooth: She has a fondness for eating and making cakes.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Ravel is the girly girl to Koneko's tomboy.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Type B
* UnderestimatingBadassery: In volume 2, she underestimates how Issei can defeat Riser and is proven wrong.
