Azusa and Family

    In General 
  • Family of Choice: Azusa and her comrades refer to each other as a family. While they do have biological family, Laika has her parents and sister, Rosalie had parents though it's unknown if she had siblings or cousins with current living relatives, they have a close familial relationship with each other. This is prevalent during the trip to the Demon World, where Rosalie thanks Halkara for building the factory where her house once was and that led to her being free, vowing to repay that debt. In a rare moment of maturity, Halkara tells her that they're family now and they have no debts.
  • Mayfly–December Romance: Defied. Romance is the one thing Azusa continues to forego post-reincarnation, because she wants to prevent any heartbreaks that come with this. (Though her new family has a number of long-lived girls, she declares she doesn't swing that way.)
  • Really 700 Years Old: Azusa, who is at least 300 years old but still looks 17, along with most every other non-human character such as the dragons, the demons, and the slime spirits, who've all looked like young adults or little children for several decades or centuries.

    Azusa Aizawa 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slime_taoshite_300_nen_shiranai_uchi_ni_level_max_ni_nattemashita_azusa.png
Voiced By: Aoi Yūki (Japanese), Skyler Davenport (English)
The Witch of the Highlands. She was once a normal Japanese office lady, but then she died from overworking and was reincarnated into the body of an immortal teenager in a magical land. She is currently 300 years old.
  • 100% Heroism Rating: Everyone adores the Witch of the Highlands, with some even viewing her as their guardian entity. This is because Azusa has been extremely friendly and helpful, and has helped the town through crises such as external attacks, plagues, and famine. News of her good deeds has likewise spread throughout nearby regions thanks to Azusa putting an end to the Red and Blue Dragons' Forever War, a traveling imposter who further boosted her reputation, and Demon King Pecora gushing about her. For her part, Azusa likes being on good terms with so many people, but does not want the attention to interfere with her quiet life.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: Became the most powerful adventurer on the planet by killing at least 25 slimes a day everyday for 300 years, and she was only doing it to make a little money.
  • A-Cup Angst: About the only thing Azusa dislikes about her new life is that her breasts are smaller than her previous life, and since she is immortal there is no chance of that changing. Somehow, it doesn't occur to her that due to her incredible power, and the ability to create entirely new spells because of it, she could fix this, particularly poignant as age-regressing magic is shown to exist. Azusa later hears mention of a breast expansion berry in a bonus side story included at the end of a LN. She declares she will go in for the berry as soon as possible but nothing ever comes of this (so far as of LN#6).
  • The Archmage: While in terms of technique she's Unskilled, but Strong, her magical might and capacity for spell learning is so large and vast that she's effectively the pinnacle example of a strong and capable witch, with every other magic user paling in comparison. It especially helps that one of the skills she obliviously picked up during her Level Grinding was "Create Magic", which allows her to literally develop entirely new spells by analyzing the rules of magic and combining them in previously unheard of ways.
  • Badass Adorable: Cute witch? Check! Lots of elemental powers? Check! High amount of stats? Check! Fighting slimes & other enemies? Check!
  • Benevolent Boss: When Laika insists on becoming Azusa's disciple, Azusa decides the first lesson is "don't overwork yourself". Indeed, Azusa creates a schedule for them to alternate household chores, and expresses her appreciation when it is Laika's turn.
  • Berserk Button: She tries to be as much of a Humble Hero as possible, and only normally gets angry when the people she cares about are threatened, but a guaranteed way to piss her off enough to scare anybody into submission, making clear she would invoke Disproportionate Retribution if things aren't fixed, is causing a ruckus that risks ruining her "peaceful life". One such example is when Laika accidentally wrecked her house while they were fighting, resulting in Azusa not only beating her up but threatening to do worse if she didn't pay for the repairs.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She may ideally want to solve her problems as peacefully, diplomatically, and with the least amount of violence and catastrophically powerful magic possible, but she won't hesitate to use the full extent of her power if needed.
  • Blessed with Suck: Her being a max-leveled witch means she has a veritable repertoire of impressive magic, a decent amount of which can have Mundane Utility, and she's revered as a guardian deity by the village of Flatta for how her medicinal abilities have healed and cured them through the centuries. But her immense power also turns her into a Fight Magnet, with countless Blood Knights across the world wanting to fight her once they learn of her existence, something she hates since she just wants to live a peaceful life.
  • Born as an Adult: Azusa appeared with a seventeen-year-old body in the new world and has no known parents. This is implied to be a function of her reincarnation bonus. She is immortal because she doesn't age, and the goddess who granted her this bonus said that seventeen was the perfect age, so Azusa starts her second life at age seventeen. note 
  • Celibate Heroine: She chose not to pursue romance after she was reincarnated due to her immortality to defy the angst caused by Mayfly–December Romance. This makes her shock of Falfa claiming to be her daughter all the more shocking, as Laika at first thought she had a love child with someone. When Halkara asks if she's been in love, Azusa makes it clear the only love she has is the familial kind, for her daughters and her Family of Choice.
  • Comically Invincible Hero: As a result of her accidental Level Grinding to the maximum possible level recognizable over 300 years, possibly even many levels beyond that due to how her Readings Are Off the Scale, she's close to being the World's Strongest Woman, with only a rare few number of people having any hope of even giving her a challenge in a fight. She's also utterly horrified at how she's so strong, because the more known it is that she's so powerful, the more people that try to either fight her or rope her into their business, things which risk ruining her desire for a nice, quiet, and peaceful immortal life.
  • Complete Immortality: Her New Life in Another World Bonus. After 300 years, Azusa still has the "high school girl body" she had when she came to this world. She specifically asked for The Ageless but seems to have become completely immortal with Nigh-Invulnerability coming from centuries of leveling up.
  • Cool Big Sis:
    • She is more of a role-model for Laika than a teacher since she doesn't have any techniques to teach her and, since Laika is still a child by dragon standards, she fits nicely into the role of "little sister" for affectionate hugs.
    • Rosalie views her as an admirable elder sister-type in their Family of Choice.
  • Cute Witch: Azusa herself notes after her reincarnation that her new body as a witch is super cute, and she would be popular if she were in high school.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: At least 4 girls (Laika, Flatorte, Halkara, and Pecora) have explicit sexual desires for her, especially Halkara and Pecora.
  • Finger Poke of Doom: After accidentally overleveling, even her lightest forms of "attacking" are capable of utterly brutalizing most enemies, which she showed off to Laika as a demonstration of her power by performing a variant of Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs involving one-handedly finger-flicking an entire herd of slimes to death faster than Laika could see.
  • Giver of Lame Names: When she gives the Intelligent Slime and Magician Slime names, they are both really simple puns based off being wise and being a mage, which get translated to extremely simple Affectionate Nickname-sounding names in English. The punch-line to this was that the Fighter Slime's name also fits this theme, entirely independently of her.
  • Good Parents: After getting over her shock of effectively being Falfa and Shalsha's mother, the maternal instincts kick in nicely. She loves the girls, sees to their safety, makes sure they eat appropriately, praises them when they do good and scolds them for misbehaving (such as trying to kill her). Later on, she'd become a mother figure to Sandra as well.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite being a Workaholic in her past life, she was still able to get quite a bit of Pop-Cultural Osmosis. For example, the moment she arrives in her new world, she rather quickly recognizes it being a Standard Japanese Fantasy Setting.
  • Humble Hero: She scoffs at the idea of her being an almighty witch. She's just a simple herbalist who hunts slimes. She does this deliberately, hoping to avoid the attention that being an almighty witch would attract. However, she also downplays all the legitimate hard work she put into curing Flatta's sick and quelling its plagues.
  • Incompatible Orientation: Laika and Flatorte fight over like two suitors, Halkara has made a few passes at her, and Pecora has some rather questionable ideas on bonding with her "big sister". Regardless, despite them being able to live long, Azusa doesn't appear to be attracted to women, thus doesn't return their interests.
  • Inconspicuous Immortal: Azusa spends 300 years living her Slow Life Fantasy as an unaging but humble witch and village healer. When it comes out that she's actually incredibly powerful, her main concern is that her reputation will disrupt her quiet life.
  • Instant Expert: While "expert" is pushing things a bit, her sheer level of power has given her a capacity for instantly performing any magic she learns about, unlike most mages that take years of constant study to cast even a few spells.
  • Know Your Vines: Azusa's first skill after reincarnation is knowledge of herbs; she uses it to prepare potions and by extension serves as the village doctor.
  • Kung-Fu Wizard: While technically speaking she's a Squishy Wizard, as the World's Strongest Woman her physical prowess is still impressive enough that she can fight as a Lightning Bruiser or Flying Brick as well, Flash Stepping to outright crush even decently strong opponents like the Blue Dragons, supplementing her One-Woman Army "fight" against them with fire magic to counter their icy Breath Weapons.
  • Level Grinding: Azusa spent 300 years accidentally grinding slimes, every single day, getting to max level thanks to an experience compounding phenomenon when enough of a certain type of monster is killed.
  • Like a God to Me: Azuza has lived in the highlands above Flatta for 300 years, providing effective medicine at a nominal fee. Because of this, the villagers see her as akin to a guardian deity, although she insists on continuing as a friendly neighbour.
  • Living Forever Is Awesome: Azusa requested a long and lazy life when she reincarnated, and then spends the next three hundred years gardening, hunting slimes, mixing medicines and reading. She refers to this time as an endless vacation of relaxation, exercise and tranquility. She is also on excellent terms with the local and mortal villagers, who revere her as a guardian because of the medicines that she provides.
  • Ma'am Shock: She spends a few minutes experiencing Color Failure, and a few more expressing heavy denial, after hearing Falfa call her "mama" and clarify that she seriously means that Azusa is her and Shalsha's mother, since she has no memory of bearing children—or even having romantic relationships—for two whole lives, and it makes her feel really old. It takes a while after learning both this and the fact they were "born" from her constant slime killing to accept her status as a mother.
  • Mama Bear: While under normal circumstances it takes a lot of pushing to make her stop being nice and fight seriously, one guaranteed way to make her instantly stop holding back and crush an opponent is threatening or scaring her loved ones, such as her slime daughters Falfa and Shalsha. Once somebody comes around that does so, in this case during the Red Dragon Wedding when faced with Blue Dragons picking a fight, she immediately enters One-Woman Army Kung-Fu Wizard Flying Brick mode and punches into unconsciousness close to the entire dragon flock singlehandedly in a few minutes.
  • Meaningful Rename: Azusa rewrites her name in Katakana upon reincarnating, to dissociate from her old life. The anime represents it by having her change her name order, putting her family name last rather than first.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: Unlike most Isekai protagonists, she only wants to live a peaceful life without any stressful situations like her previous life. She spends 300 years performing a daily routine of slaying slimes, gathering money, exploring and gathering ingredients, making medicines for profit, and rest. Before she knew it, her continuous slime slaying finally catches up to her with the experience points needed to reach max level. Short version? She accidentally invoked this on herself.
  • Mundane Utility: While her magical abilities make her near-unbeatable in fights, since she dislikes fighting due to how it disrupts her happily peaceful living, she normally just uses said magic to provide various conveniences to her daily life, such as ice magic to preserve meals in place of a refrigerator, fire magic to defrost or even cook the food in place of a microwave/stove/oven, wind magic to quickly tie her hair after waking up, and more.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Azusa, without quite understanding the cultural significance of it, gets tricked into touching Flatorte's horns thinking it will help foster peace between the Red and Blue Dragons. What she didn't realize was just how completely Blue Dragons become subservient to their mistress or master, never leaving their side and not even eating or sleeping unless specifically ordered to, and if they should leave their mistress/master's side for any reason, even being ordered to, the dragon will commit suicide. Azusa is pretty understandably freaked out and compares it to actual slavery.
  • New Life in Another World Bonus: The premise of the LN and adaptations. The protagonist worked herself to death as an Office Lady and was granted her wish of ageless immortality as a witch in a standard RPG Mechanics 'Verse. The overpowered aspect comes from the fact that she killed about 20 slimes every day for three hundred years and thus reached the maximum level without ever realizing it (because she never had to fight anything tougher than a slime).
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After Azusa helps Eno come out of her shell, she becomes a successful and rich merchant witch. Eno ends up becoming a huge competitor of Halkara Pharmaceuticals (and Halkara), competing with her everywhere from Vanzeld Town to Halkara's own home base of Nascute. Maybe since it's affecting Halkara most of all, no one seems to truly care though.
  • Office Lady: Azusa's previous occupation was a "corporate slave" who basically lived in the office, and died there too.
  • One-Woman Army: Her status as the World's Strongest Woman and a Kung-Fu Wizard means that even when faced with a near-literal army, she's capable of singlehandedly defeating the majority of them, such as Flash Stepping to punch several Blue Dragons into unconsciousness without any real effort during the Red Dragon Wedding.
  • Phenotype Stereotype: Azusa became a fair-skinned, blue-eyed blonde witch in a Medieval European Fantasy universe after reincarnation.
  • Promoted to Parent: While she is only indirectly the cause of their creation Azusa almost immediately accepts Shalsha and Falfa as her daughters.
  • Rank Inflation: In Chapter 65, Goodly Godly Godness bumps her up from Level 99 to God Tier with a divine blessing, complete with a few immeasurably high stats and an aura of joy. It lets her defeat a Physical God in a fight, but she makes a point of insisting that she's still just an ordinary witch afterwards.
  • Red Baron: Azusa is known as Witch of the Highlands long before she is found to have maxed out her level, because she is Completely Immortal and she has been a competent herbalist over her centuries of life... though it's also because she's a witch that lives in the highlands.
  • Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: When she accidentally eats a shrinking mushroom, her clothes don't shrink with her and she's forced to get a new set that fits her new childlike frame. When she takes the remedy in front of everyone per Pecora's suggestion, her clothes end up tearing as she regains her normal size.
  • Signature Headgear: One of the most prominent features of her character design, and the thing that best represents her Cute Witch status, is a massively oversized witch hat that came with her new body. Amusingly, it started out big but only moderately so in the light novel, but every subsequent volume cover has it get bigger and bigger, until it reached the size used for the anime.
  • Squishy Wizard: Subverted; while Azusa has the appearance of a young witch, and she technically has the stat spread of a Squishy Wizard, with defense as her lowest stat, her obscene level means that her physically-oriented stats are still incredibly high, just in the 400s-500s instead of 800s-900s like her more magic-oriented stats. She is capable of uprooting trees and tossing full-grown dragons around like they were toys and is capable of doing so for long, sustained fights such as the disastrous Red Dragon Wedding. That said, due to her stat build there are a few stronger beings that are capable of tussling with her in a physical fight, and while her Complete Immortality means they can't kill her, there is the potential for them beating her into submission if they manage to catch her off-guard before she can use magic.
  • Stock Light-Novel Hero: The Princess Heroine variant. Azusa was once an office lady — or as she prefers calling it, a "corporate slave" — who died of overworking and reincarnated into a fantasy world as an immortal witch with nothing but a knife and an isolated house. Determined to relax as much as humanly possible, she embraces a lazy lifestyle of living outside of town, killing slimes when she goes to do her shopping, and selling their remains to buy what few resources she needs. By the time she is asked to check her status again, it turns out she's been killing slimes for three hundred years and maxed out her level. Unfortunately, news of her updated status as one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful people in the world, leaks out and is quickly confirmed, which sets off the plot — leading to her gaining a harem/family and generally dragging her out of her isolated, lazy life and into a life of adventure.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Her love of omelettes is regularly shown throughout the series, from ordinary breakfasts all the way up to a fantastically expensive and opulent version the demon kingdom prepares as a special treat.
  • Tragic Dream: Azusa dreamed of traveling to Switzerland, then her company worked her to death.
  • Translator Microbes: As part of her reincarnation, Azusa is capable of understanding, speaking, reading, and writing the language of Flatta. It is especially helpful since she spends quite a lot of her first 300 years reading botany books and becoming an herbalist.
  • Trauma Button: Due to her reincarnation happening because of karoshi (death by overwork), the very idea of working until you reach and surpass your physical limits, at the potential detriment to your health, causes her to experience traumatic flashbacks. As a result, not only does she refuse to ever go anywhere near her limits ever again, keeping herself within or at least near her average capabilities, but any time somebody she cares about contemplates overexerting themselves, she shoots the thought down and drills into them to only do what they can handle without exhausting their body.
  • Truly Single Parent: Falfa and Shalsha consider Azusa to be their mother, since while she did not birth them or have direct involvement with their creation, it was because of her that they were created.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Mainly because Azusa had no clue about her level until recently, so it results in her having extremely powerful spells, but not much knowledge in how to use them or control herself. This is especially true when she tests out a spell for the first time, as her lack of training means she has no ability to regulate the power intensity until she's tried it out and learns afterwards how to actually control it, such as when her first use of tornado magic made a genuine sky-high cyclone that blew everybody else away, despite mentally trying to weaken it. This applies to her physical abilities as well; when fighting her in a tournament Beelzebub comments that Azusa obviously has no fight training and is full of openings, but she is so strong and fast that it doesn't matter.
  • What Measure Is a Mook?: Azusa spent 300 years killing 25 slimes per day, which means that she had killed around 2.7 million slimes. However, she only killed them in order to gain income in order to live, not out of any malicious intent, plus, it was a slime that attacked her first, not the other way around. After meeting Shalsha and Falfa, Azusa realizes that slimes were sapient beings after all and instantly feels regret for how many she has killed. After knowing that there were good and bad slimes, she has decided to go out of her way to only kill the latter.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: Downplayed, Azusa for the most part loves her immortal existence, but when meeting with Eno and later Pondeli she does admit that watching people you love grow old and die, or being alone for very long periods of time is hard. It's part of the reason that while Azusa was friends with her local town she never got very close with individuals until Laika showed up.
  • Workaholic: Azusa in her former life was completely devoted to her job, and never had time for any sort of life outside of it. After working 50 straight days with no break she collapsed and died. The trauma of it was so severe that she snaps at Laika and insists that she take breaks, and work reasonable (human) hours, in spite of Laika's insistence that as a dragon she can perform far harder work for much longer before tiring.
  • World's Strongest Woman: While her Squishy Wizard-type build means that there are a few people who can match her in physical might, in terms of magic she's practically a Physical God, being an example of The Archmage who can not only use every type of magic after learning how to cast it, but also has every spell-use be magnitudes stronger than even what most strong mages can do.

    Laika 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slime_taoshite_300_nen_shiranai_uchi_ni_level_max_ni_nattemashita_laika.png
Voiced By: Kaede Hondo (Japanese), Rachelle Heger (English)
A red dragon who challenges Azusa to a fight after hearing rumors of her strength. After her defeat she stays with Azusa in order to get stronger. She is currently 300 years old.

She's also the protagonist of the spinoff The Red Dragon Academy for Girls.


  • A Day in the Limelight: She has her own spinoff called The Red-Dragon Academy for Girls.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Given how much of a Nice Girl she is, and evidence to suggest she was always like that, it's a bit out of character when she first appears that she threatens to rampage on Flatta if Azusa doesn't accept her challenge, especially when she expresses concern for their lack of protection from monsters in the very next episode. The possibility it was a bluff is a thing, though it's never acknowledged after she becomes Azusa's apprentice.
  • The Apprentice: She insisted on becoming Azusa's apprentice after their duel because she wants to learn from Azusa. It's not about fighting style or anything like that, but more like behaviors, such as consistent effort towards a goal.
  • Break the Haughty: She was totally full of herself when she challenged Azusa to a fight. Afterward, she is more humble and polite.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Much like Falfa and Shalsa, she dislikes celery.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: Laika prefers this style of clothing in her human form. Azusa thought it was cosplay when she first saw it, then realized that it was her usual wear. It's foreshadowing of her being effectively nobility among the dragons' power structure, aside from her history at the draconic equivalent of an all-girls' finishing school.
  • Female Monster Surprise: When she shows up at Azusa's doorstep to challenge her, Azusa (and the audience) assumes her to be male until she shows up the next day in her more obviously feminine humanoid form. The anime supports the deception by applying a distortion to her voice that makes her sound male, which disappears after the reveal.
  • Fiery Redhead: She has bright orange hair in both her human and dragon forms, and whether it's before or after her Humble Pie experience against Azusa, she's a Hot-Blooded and incredibly passionate woman who gives her all in everything she does, something that exasperates Azusa greatly, especially after the dragon girl becomes her apprentice.
  • Horned Humanoid: Her human form keeps her dragon horns.
  • Informed Attractiveness: In the Light Novels, we are constantly told that Laika is ethereally beautiful. She is called the most beautiful girl in the Kingdom. She makes the family members speak out loud their thoughts that she looks like an angel while dressed in a waitress/maid outfit. At one point she is magically given long hair for a short period, which causes even Azusa to go gaga after her, saying that she would beg Laika to be her apprentice and then comment that it's better Laika go back to her short bob-cut as her long hair look would most likely get her stalkers.
  • Meido: Laika's normal outfit in her humanoid form evokes this, with its design and her subservient behaviour towards Azusa as her disciple.
  • Mundane Utility: Uses her fire breath to cook when it's her turn.
  • Non-Mammalian Hair: Her reptilian dragon form possesses the same bright orange hair as her human form, albeit styled similarly to dreadlocks with black band-like coloration near the tips.
  • Ojou: She's essentially a noble in dragonic society, and attended what amounts to a finishing school before apprenticing herself to Azusa.
  • Person of Mass Construction: She has extensive knowledge of carpentry and retains her Super-Strength in human form, so can build a large house singlehandedly in a day. Azusa likens it to a human playing with blocks.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Despite being a red dragon, Laika is a lot more calm and polite than Flatorte, who tends to be loud and disruptive, though given how easily Laika can be convinced to go along with Flatorte it's possible the only real difference between the two is that Laika is just better at controlling herself.
  • Sizeshifter: When trapped in the Demon Castle Laika reveals she can change the size of her dragon form, to around the size of a small dog. An omake shows that she can get even smaller to about the size of a sparrow.
  • Stronger Sibling: She's more athletic and powerful than her older sister Laila.
  • Technicolor Eyes: She has red eyes in both dragon and human form, but isn't coded as a threat after Asuza defeats her.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Flatorte don't get along very well, constantly argue, and about the only thing stopping them from coming to blows is the peace treaty. That said, at the end of the day they are more like sisters than bitter rivals.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifter: Like all other dragons, Laika has the ability to shift between her normal dragon form and a horned human-like form.
  • Weredragon: As with many dragons, she has enough natural mana to assume a single humanoid form at will — in her case, a girl with small horns.
  • What Have I Become?: At one point, Azusa and family travel to a demon arcade in Vanzeld Town. The games are very gory and realistic. Laika energetically goes to play the wack-a-mole game but the moles are undead moles who scream in horrible anguish and splatter when hit (the demons use magic to restore them between games). This causes Laika to have an emotional crisis when, as she says, she was forced to face her own aggression and dark violent side. It takes a while for Azusa to talk her around to her normal self again.

    Shalsha & Falfa

Shalsha

Falfa
Shalsha Voiced By: Minami Tanaka (Japanese), Suzie Yeung (English)
Falfa Voiced By: Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese), Lizzie Freeman (English)
Twin Slime Spirit girls born from the collective rage and regret of slimes Azusa had killed for 250 years. Shalsha is the younger sister and a very serious and practical girl. Falfa is the older sister a very energetic and emotional girl. Despite their appearance, they are currently 50 years old.
  • All for Nothing: Shalsha spent 50 years mastering Smite Evil to use against Azusa. However, when Laika attacks her, since her power could only be used against Azusa, she ends up getting knocked out. Upon waking up, her one hour window-of-opportunity to use Smite Evil had passed and she won't be able to use it again for decades, wasting the 50 years she spent.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Shalsha is introduced as a slime spirit with a vendetta against her "mother" (as in, the woman responsible for her creation) because she was born from the souls of the slimes that Azusa killed for 250 years. Falfa, Shalsha's twin, is the opposite, being totally loving and loyal to her mommy. Though it is strongly hinted Shalsha felt the same way but being the more serious of the two felt obligated to try and get revenge for the spirits that gave her and her sister life.
  • The Anti-Nihilist: The theme of their song "The Field". While it does go into the idea that nature is so vast that one being seems insignificant, it also states that they are still unique all the same.
  • Artificial Family Member: The two are slime spirits created from all the slimes Azusa killed over the centuries. They call Azusa mother and she too sees them as her children. Interesting note, Azusa mentioned how Falfa looks like her as a child. But she dismissed it.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Shalsha learned Smite Evil to kill Azusa. She fixated on Azusa to the point where it's powerful enough to cancel her magic. However, if someone else were to attack Shalsha, Smite Evil would do nothing to them.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: They're the youngest out of all the immortal characters, being around 50 while the others are centuries old, they have the appearances of young children along with the personalities and attitudes to match, and unlike the semi-romantic (occasionally turning genuinely romantic) interactions between most of the women in the cast, everybody who meets them feels completely platonic motherly or sisterly affection towards them, especially their Truly Single Parent Azusa.
  • The Big Board: The girls' bedroom includes a chalkboard with various equations written on it, reflecting Falfa's intelligence in the field of mathematics.
  • Calling Parents by Their Name: Shalsha initially addressed Azusa by her title, Witch of the Highlands, in contrast to her twin, who consistently used the more familiar "mommy". When Shalsha is defeated, and Falfa convinces her to drop her grudge, Shalsha switching to "mom" is a sign of her Heel–Face Turn.
  • Child Prodigy: Falfa and Shalsha are chronologically 50 years old, but look, act, and have the emotional maturity of small children. This does not stop them from being incredibly smart, with high-level academic knowledge on various subjects like math and history, along with adult-level reading comprehension.
  • Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears: Happens to them from either Azusa or Laika whenever there's some sort of perverted activity that they are too (mentally) young to understand happening near them.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: Shalsha trains herself for years with "Haja" magic which becomes stronger the more specific the target is. Specifying exactly one person makes her unbeatable...to that one person. So while she ended up being the one person Azusa could not Curb Stomp, it meant anyone else could easily defeat her.
  • Cute Ghost Girl: In a sense, despite their physical bodies. The two of them are slime spirits born from the souls of slimes Azusa had killed for 250 years.
  • Cuteness Overload: Azusa and Beelzebub get this reaction a lot from them. Azusa often thinks it's a shame cameras don't exist in this world so maybe she should make a magical one someday.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Shalsha spent 50 years perfecting Smite Evil to work only on Azusa, failing to realize that because it's too specific that she's powerless against anyone else when Laika punches her. The dub has Azusa quote this when Falfa explains how she was knocked out.
  • Entertainment Above Their Age: Shalsha is known to read books that would be way too complex for a regular kid to fully understand, with Falfa either reading along with her or listening as her sister read aloud.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Downplayed to where its more a variation of Red Oni, Blue Oni. Falfa is the more childlike and innocent of the two whereas Shalsha is more serious and stoic.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Shalsha was initially motivated to kill Azusa in order to avenge the deaths of the slimes whose souls constitute her being, but she eventually comes around to accept Azusa as her "mother" and clings onto her like her older sister does.
  • Hunter of Their Own Kind: They hunted slimes for magic stones before moving in with Azusa and continue to do so afterwards. It's okay because they only hunt evil slimes.
  • Involuntary Shapeshifter: At the start of one arc, Falfa reverts to her slime form as a result of waking up with a strained muscle that forced her to revert as a biological failsafe. Unfortunately, since she and Shalsha are quite young for special slimes and spent most of their lives secluded from other intelligent life, they were completely clueless about how to willingly shapeshift between human and slime forms, forcing Azusa and her family to seek out other intelligent slimes to figure out how to undo the transformation.
  • Like Parent, Like Child: Guess what Falfa and Shalsha did to support themselves before meeting their mother: slime hunting. Azusa wryly thinks of this as meaning they really are her offspring, even if there's no blood ties.
  • Merger of Souls: Falfa and Shalsha are merged from the souls of the slimes Azusa killed over the centuries.
  • Morphic Resonance: Both of them have unusually colored hair in their human forms that match their natural slime colors, with Shalsha being green-haired and Falfa being blue-haired.
  • Nature Spirit: They count as water spirits because their slime bodies are mostly made out of water.
  • Older Than They Look: In spite of their chronological age, they act mostly like young children, Falfa especially. Shalsha feels more like a precocious child than an emotionally mature adult.
  • Perpetual Expression: Fitting their Polar Opposite Twins theme, the two spend most of their time with opposing near-permanent emotional expressions, Shalsha being a Perpetual Frowner and Falfa being a Perpetual Smiler. Shalsha rarely smiles and Falfa occasionally frowns, but the duo spend most of their appearances with their signature expressions.
  • Polar Opposite Twins: They have diametrically opposed personalities despite being born from the same collective emotions and spiritual consciousness, Falfa being hyper and warm, while Shalsha is reserved and cold. In addition, Falfa is a prodigy in mathematics while Shalsha is a prodigy in history.
  • Stock "Yuck!": As another trait of them being The Baby of the Bunch, they dislike celery.
  • Tareme Eyes: Falfa has droopy eyes to indicate she's the more innocent and laid back of the two.
  • Third-Person Person: Falfa and Shalsha refer to themselves in the third person. This is one of their childish traits.
  • Theme Twin Naming: They're twins with names that follow the idea of repeated sounds separated by an "L" ("fa" for Falfa and "sha" for Shalsha).
  • Token Mini-Moe: The childlike appearance that comes with them being The Babies of the Bunch results in them being the absolute tiniest members of the major cast, with even the decently short Pecora being slightly taller. Fitting with their tiny childish looks, the majority of their story appearances involve acting as the utterly adorable little girls they truly are, especially their familial interactions with their mother Azusa, which frequently result in even the other characters being soothed by the cuteness.
  • Tsurime Eyes: Shalsha has upturned eyes to show she's the more serious of the two.

    Halkara

Voiced By: Sayaka Harada (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)
An elven apothecary, famous for her Nutri-Spirits. After an incident with the Demon Beelzebub, she ends up living with Azusa as her apprentice. She is currently 225 years old.
  • A Day in the Limelight: She has a spinoff titled Food for an Elf.
  • The Alcoholic: She is quite fond of alcohol and is frequently drunk and getting into trouble, or otherwise is of absolutely no use to anyone.
  • Ambiguously Bi: She herself states that she is straight, but with the exception that when she is drunk she doesn't mind the company of women. The exception to this exception though would be Azusa herself, as drunk or sober Halkara constantly flirts and makes sexual innuendoes towards her.
  • Apologizes a Lot: Due to her bad habit of getting in trouble with various people, she's taken up repeatedly begging for forgiveness when the consequences of her actions rear their heads, with a common method being to perform a dogeza pose before stating her apology.
  • Boob-Based Gag: In addition to them being the main source of her Ms. Fanservice status, her decently-endowed breasts are a common source of comedy, such as constantly angering Azusa over her inadequacy compared to Halkara, or them being the sole defining physical trait for Beelzebub's "wanted" notice about her.
  • Butt-Monkey: She seems to exist solely to suffer in comedic fashion, cause trouble to Azusa and the others, and suffer even more as a result. Her lack of tact and sensibility, her alcoholism, and her generally impulsive nature only makes it worse. This has even affected Rosalie when she possessed Halkara and was stuck in her body, going through increasingly painful or traumatizing experiences to get her out and all of it treated humorously. Azusa is astonished that she somehow attracts all the dangerous plants and animals in forests, especially when she's always in the front to look out for such things.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: While going through the village with Azusa, several of the village women also give longing glances towards the elf.
  • Genius Ditz: A competent businesswoman, but is a klutz in other things.
  • Idiot Hair: She has a cowlick on top of her head, which befits her ditzy nature.
  • Know Your Vines: Thanks to being an elf, she has extensive knowledge of forest herbs, mushrooms, and natural compounds and how to mix and enhance them.
  • Married to the Job: How she describes her marital status when the subject comes up.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Fully well-endowed and very curvy, with the anime taking every excuse it can to invoke a Male Gaze and make it blatantly clear just how curvaceous and bouncy she is. When Azusa asks her how many times people told her that she was well-developed, she notes that it was roughly around 750 times a year.
  • Naked Apron: Halkara wears this when preparing medicine since Bunsen burners heat up the surrounding air.
  • Our Elves Are Different: Halkara, apart from being a competent businesswoman and ditzy alcoholic, has no combat or magical skills usually associated with Elves. The only thing that shouts elven about her is her knowledge of herbs; she carries no bow and would probably shoot herself in the foot if she tried to use one. Later, when Azusa and her family visit the Elven homeland, the Elves are found to live in built-up, almost urban areas with a highly developed mass transit system. Elves work at everyday jobs and seem to have very few threats or reasons to be armed and adventurous.
  • Pose of Supplication: Associated strongly enough with Halkara that she is shown doing it in the anime's opening as part of a "roll-call" sequence briefly showing the full cast. When she comes back after trying to find a cure for "gnome mushrooms" that shrank Azusa to child-size, which she ate because of Halkara in the first place, she walks in, smiles, and does an acrobatic flip into an apology pose to report her failure.
  • Prodigal Family: Downplayed — she's a bit embarrassed to admit that her parents and siblings are even ditzier than her, but they sincerely care about each other. She makes a point of setting them up with comfortable jobs in her new factory in their hometown.
  • Prone to Tears: Due to her Butt-Monkey status and submissive personality, it's a common sight for her eyes to get filled with tears, whether out of fear, from shock, or as Puppy-Dog Eyes.

    Rosalie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rosalie_anime.png
Voiced By: Riho Sugiyama (Japanese), Anne Yatco (English)
A ghost who once haunted the site of a factory Halkara intended to buy to produce her Nutri-Spirits. After being unable to solve her unfinished business and unwilling to have her exorcised and destroyed, she ends up moving into Azusa's house and joining the family.
  • Cute Ghost Girl: She was a noble daughter who died at a young age, and in death, she retains her adorable looks from life.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Her family fell into financial troubles and her father decided the best way to do that was to sell her to prostitution, under the guise of marrying her off to a rich man. Rosalie discovered the truth and hanged herself before it happened, which only left her alone in death, haunting the empty warehouse. Her song “Nothing” in Episode 10 mentions that even the daytime was dark, and wanting to die, but being unable to.
  • Driven to Suicide: Rosalie's backstory. She was the daughter of a nobleman, who tried to sell her as a prostitute when his business began to fail. He lied to her and claimed she was being married off to a rich man, and when she found out, decided to hang herself.
  • Dude, Not Funny!:
    • Due to being a ghost, she's very casual when it comes to talking about death and souls, something the others often find disturbing. Some examples include: being glad her death led to meeting Azusa's family, looking forward to getting a new friend if Halkara does get executed, and commenting that Azusa's soul is still the same weight when she ate a mushroom that shrunk her to child size.
    • Sometimes Rosalie will use "ghost humor" which the others find very disturbing. For example, at once point, while trying to reassure someone that she's a friendly ghost who means no harm, Rosalie quips "There's nothing rotten about me except my body!" Of course Azusa and family just stare and don't know how to react.
  • First Friend: Becomes this for Muum Muum, ghost queen of the Thursa Thursa Kingdom — they died at similar ages, and she's the first person to treat Muum Muum as a friend rather than a ruler..
  • Happily Adopted: She considers her (un)life as Azusa's "little sister" to be a much happier family arrangement than her past life.
  • Hitodama Light: Beyond the near-constant floating, she looks so close to being a normal non-ghost girl that the main signifiers for her status as a spirit are the two blue Faux Flames constantly floating near her head.
  • Intangibility: A natural consequence of being a ghost is that she can pass right through objects. While this comes with the perks of phasing through walls and being impervious to any attacks not specifically designed to hurt spirits, she greatly dislikes that this also means she can never hug Azusa no matter how much she wants to.
  • Jacob Marley Apparel: When making plans for a formal ceremony that requires more elegant outfits, the group hit a snag in their efforts because Rosalie is stuck wearing the clothes she had on when she died, with her not even being able to take them off since they act as part of her residual self-image. It takes Azusa a lot of research about possible magic for such a thing before they finally manage to give her the ability to change her clothes, though it requires a ritual where Azusa enforces her desired image of Rosalie's appearance onto her ghost body.
  • Japanese Delinquents: Definitely a parody of one given her rude way of speaking and overall demeanor, she mentions she Used to Be a Sweet Kid, but after dying she went bad. She even tries to have Azusa magically put a tattoo on her back like a yakuza imitating punk.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She may have "gone bad" and gained the personality of a Japanese Delinquent due to a combination of the tragic circumstances behind taking her own life and spending centuries trapped where she died, but deep underneath the delinquent personality she's still the old Nice Girl she used to be in life, cherishing people that genuinely care for her, getting apologetic when she causes actual problems for people, and finding helping people brings her happiness. She simply gained a very aggressive and snarky attitude that sticks when she's not in the mood for niceties.
  • Lighter and Softer: Just a tad, but unlike the Manga and Light Novel, the anime does not go into the specifics of how Rosalie killed herself, nor does it mention that her parents specifically tried to sell her into prostitution.
  • Mind over Matter: As befitting for a ghost, she possesses poltergeist-like powers of moving things around with her mind.
  • The Needless: As a ghost she doesn't require food nor does she need to sleep, often when the family sleeps Rosalie wanders around exploring the world around her.
  • Proper Lady: Back when she was alive, she had a reputation for being sweet and ladylike. Since then, she has "gone bad" and is more like a Japanese Delinquent
  • Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: In the light novels, during a trip to the undead lands where Azusa trying to grow her hair back after Yufufu cut it down to a bob, they test the hair growing apparatus on Rosalie first. This trope is the result of them going a little too far. Rosalie's personality doesn't change (and she's blinded by her bangs), but Muum Muum's assisstant decided to have a little fun with it, taking Rosalie out and about with her new appearance and scaring all the other ghosts in the kingdom. After she's had her fun, they revert Rosalie's hair back to its proper length.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was apparently renowned as a sweet Nice Girl back when she was alive, but admits that the combination of her parents' betrayal and the years alone have made her "go bad". Played for Laughs in that she acts more like a Delinquent and sometimes a Yakuza.

    Flatorte 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flatorte_anime.png
Voiced By: Azumi Waki (Japanese), Amber Lee Connors (English)
A blue dragon we meet during Laika's sister's wedding. Later during a Red and Blue Dragon peace treaty, Azusa is tricked by Pecora into making Flatorte her slave. She is currently 400 years old.
  • Accidental Misnaming: A frequent victim of this in her early appearances as no one can pronounce or remember her name.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: Flatorte ends up doing this against a herd of wild boars. Before that she also flashes her full naked body to some of Azusa's family members, and accidentally to some people at a river.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: The reason she attacked the wedding was because she just didn't like that someone was getting married while she was still single.
  • Happiness in Slavery: Played With; the fact that Azusa made her a slave, even accidentally, is definitely not something she is happy about, but when Azusa tries to just free her, Flatorte replies that then she will have to kill herself. Eventually, the two reach an accord where Azusa orders Flatorte to do as she pleases. Which while not technically freeing her means she can at least have some agency in her life. Though once all that is all settled Flatorte is quite happy to serve her new Mistress.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • She's a hardcore minstrel otaku - in her own words, she gives all minstrels a listen because they're minstrels, regardless of how popular they are, and knows at least a thousand groups - with an in-depth knowledge of the various genres, and is good at playing the lute (which in this world also covers what we'd call guitars).
    • Additionally, she’s a very good singer herself and skilled with the “lute”.
  • Honor Before Reason: There is nothing magically or physically binding Flatorte into serving Azusa, just her pride as a dragon.
  • Horned Humanoid: She has her dragon horns in her human form.
  • Made of Iron: She's the only dragon, if not character overall, that the fully powered Azusa had to hit more than once.
  • Non-Mammal Mammaries: She has breasts, albeit very small ones. They're mentioned as swaying in the light novel chapter with the wild boars when she's buck naked, and when she's shown from the side in the same arc in the anime while still in the buff, there are obviously very small boobs on her chest. Whether she has nipples, though, is unknown.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Ironically enough despite being a Blue Dragon, she is the high spirited and emotional Red Oni to Laika's calm and respectful Blue Oni.
  • Reputation Apathy: She doesn't mind being called negatively or even treats them as compliments: e.g., when she's called jobless she thinks that's potential to do anything. When she's called an idiot, she says all Blue Dragons are like her. She was happy when a lot of her boyfriends said she's adorable when she's silent.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl:
    • Decides to hunt the boars in her birthday suit out of the belief that the clothes would only restrict her.
    • In a Beach Chapter, she insists she doesn't want to wear the swimsuit but Azusa stops her from being naked.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Laika constantly argue and compete with each other (the only reason they don't outright fight each other is because of the peace treaty) but they still consider each other family. Of the annoying sibling kind but family nonetheless.
  • Weredragon: As with many dragons, she has enough natural mana to assume a single humanoid form at will - in her case, a girl with small horns and a tail.
  • Womanchild: She's the second oldest member of the main cast, next to Beelzebub, but also immature enough to lead an attack on the red dragons' wedding in a fit of jealousy because someone younger than her was marrying. Her reaction to her clothes snagging on trees and bushes during the boar hunting was to just rip her clothing all off.

    Sandra 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandra_8.png
A mandragora girl that gained sentience and a human body after growing for 300 years. She likes to be alone buried in a corner of Azusa's garden.
  • Angry Animalistic Growl: When she's getting used to living with Azusa's family and meeting other people, she easily gets frustrated and "Grrr"s a lot. Azusa wonders when she heard growling like that when she was growing as a plant for most of her life.
    Sandara meets Eno again at a Dance Festival
    Sandra: Grrr! Grrr! Woof, woof! Mrow! Aroooo!
  • Call a Human a "Meatbag": While observing and commenting on what the family does, she lumps everyone together as Animals.
  • Fast Tunnelling: As long as there aren't tree roots in the way, she moves faster digging in the ground than walking. But she quickly gets tired either way as she's used to being buried in one place.
  • No Need for Names: As she lived among other plants for most of her life, she didn't have a name when they first met her. Azusa names her based on something she likes: sand.
  • Plant Person: She's a mandragora, with the leaves becoming her hair and the root becoming her body. She likes dirt, sand, water, and sunlight and is scared of fire. She can't digest human food well, and gets nutrients from water and earth.
  • Tomboy: She was wary of everyone when she was first introduced, especially witches and elves who use a lot of plants for their medicines. Then when Azusa's family first talked to her, she was hostile and growled a lot to everyone except Azusa who saved her.
  • Wormsign: Creates these as she's moving in underground.

The Village of Flatta

A small, peaceful countryside town that Azusa lives in close proximity to. They have a symbiotic relationship, where Azusa provides medicine and healthcare, they give her money and access to luxuries like professionally cooked meals.

    Natalie 
The present-day receptionist of Flatta's Adventurer's Guild branch.
  • Big-Breast Pride: While she doesn't flaunt it, present-day Natalie flatly states to Azusa how she's confident in the decently big size of her chest, with them even spontaneously bouncing just to prove her point.
  • Generation Xerox: Natalie is the receptionist working at the Adventurer's Guild branch in Flatta, and by way of Contrived Coincidence she is very similar to her ancestor that worked at the guild 300 years ago when Azusa first registered, who is also named Natalie. That said, the level of similarity varies between mediums. In the web and light novels, she was stated to be an Identical Grandson, to the point Azusa thought that the original was somehow immortal too until present-day Natalie corrected her. In the manga and anime, it's massively downplayed in that, while their body-shape and faces are similar, everything else is completely different, including eye-colors, hair colors and styles, breast sizes, and the fact present-day Natalie wears glasses.
  • Identical Grandson: In the original novels (both web and light), present-day Natalie took the Strong Family Resemblance between her and past-Natalie so far that they looked almost exactly the same. It caused a decent amount of confusion for Azusa during re-introductions, since she spent a while wondering whether the receptionist gained immortality as well, before the current Natalie clarified that she was just past Natalie's descendant.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: In the arc that Misjantie is introduced, it shows that she wishes for some romance with men. And is always hoping an adventurer would fall in love with her.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: While she's not an Identical Grandson anymore in the manga and anime, present-day Natalie still has a body-shape and face that's decently similar to past Natalie, making it clear that they're still related.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Although with good intentions, her getting Azusa to see what her level is would eventually cause a lot of people to come and challenge her to a fight and throw a wrench into her desired slow life. That said, it does have the positive effect of Azusa forming a new family.

Demons

    In General 
  • It Amused Me: Demons are constantly making things with the sole purpose of putting extra entertainment into everyday tasks, be it a bath that will melt you into goo if you stay in too long, or bread that has a bunch of random flavors in each bite. Beelzebub states that because they are so long lived demons get bored very easily and are always looking for entertainment.
  • Our Demons Are Different: Save for territorial disputes, they aren't too different from humans societally and biologically, having an established government with taxes, infrastructure and government services with offices and secretaries to run them, and nutritional needs similar to other creatures, no feasting on souls here. They all simply tend to have natural-born talent for casting magic, be particularly Long-Lived and youthful, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, anything from human-like Horned Humanoids to Beast Men.

    Beelzebub 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slime_taoshite_300_nen_shiranai_uchi_ni_level_max_ni_nattemashita_beelzebub.png
Voiced By: Manami Numakura (Japanese), Erica Mendez (English)
The Minister of Agriculture in the Demon Realm and a family friend of Azusa's, oftentimes dropping in to help them with matters that require the Demon's more advanced magics. She is currently 3500 years old.

She's the protagonist of the spinoff I Was a Bottom-Tier Bureaucrat for 1,500 Years and the Demon King Made Me a Minister.


  • A Day in the Limelight: She has her own spinoff series detailing when she first became a minister called I Was a Bottom-Tier Bureaucrat for 1,500 Years, and the Demon King Made Me a Minister.
  • Almighty Janitor: Before her elevation as the Ministry of Agriculture, Beelzebub had been voluntarily staying at the bottom-tier of the ministry and apparently had this kind of reputation among ministry staff. Her elevation is because each and every potential candidate for the position was corrupt in one way or the other. She wasn't even technically eligible for the position as a commoner, but Pecora got around that by appointing her a noble.
  • Ambiguously Brown: She stands out quite heavily from not just the major cast but also most of the human-like demons seen due to having decently brown skin. It's not made clear if she just got a tan from constant agricultural work or belongs to a dark-skinned demon race, since Azusa never notes the uncommon brownness. In volume six of the manga, she takes a bath with Azusa and Pecora, and there are no visible tanlines on her body, suggesting that this is her natural skintone.
  • Animorphism: Befitting somebody named after the original Lord of the Flies, she has the ability to transform into a literal tiny fly, which helps her with both spying on people and secretly "vacationing" away from her duties without anybody knowing she's there.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Played With; while she is a very high-ranking demon and extremely powerful, second only to Pecora, the Demon King, her spin-off series shows that it's more her expertise than overall power that got her position.
  • Beelzebub: While not the famous demon him/herself, she is named after such. She also has powers associated with the historical lord of the flies.
  • Cool Big Sis: Azusa refers to Beelzebub as this, when thinking about what traditional family roles members of her Family of Choice fit into. This is because Beelzebub is the oldest in the family group and whenever Azusa and the others need help Beelzebub is the one they turn to. It's to the point that when Pecora suggests Azusa to be this to her, Azusa muses that Beelzebub would have been a better choice for that role than she is, something Pecora agrees with and is miffed that Beelzebub refuses to comply with the idea of acting domineering towards her king, forcing Pecora to look elsewhere.
  • Cute Little Fang: While she naturally has four notable fangs, when acting cuter than usual her upper left one becomes more prominent in open-mouth close-ups.
  • Drop-In Character: After the misunderstanding about Halkara's Nutri-Spirits is resolved, she takes an interest in Azusa and her family and asks to drop by whenever something interesting is happening. Even on adventures where Azusa and her family aren't home, she always happens to be conveniently around for one reason or another.
  • Friendly Rivalry: As seen during their sparring match, she was quite eager to face Azusa and trained a lot to defeat the witch. However, there is no animosity between them and she doesn't resent Azusa after losing.
  • Friend to All Children: She really likes children, especially the slime spirits, who she dotes on repeatedly, at one point even referring to them as her own children. When Azusa gets turned into a child she practically squees over how cute she is.
  • Honorary Aunt: While she doesn't live with Azusa like the rest of the family, she is by and large considered just as much a part of it as anyone else. She loves to dote on her "nieces".
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: She asks Azusa if she could take Shalsha or Falfa home with her, several times. The answer is always "no".
  • Inconvenient Summons: Anytime she is summoned by Azusa, she ends up landing in Azusa's bathtub. Note that they are never in the bathroom when she's summoned, and the bathtub usually just happens to be full of water at the time, leaving her dunked in water from out of the blue. It also doesn't help that Azusa and her family treat summoning her with the same level of thought one would have for making a phone call. Eventually, Azusa considers warming up the water, which leads to her taking a 30 minute bath.
  • Kindness Button: Children, especially Falfa and Shalsha. In episode 5, she's pissed that she was summoned and fell into a bathtub, along with thinking dealing with a ghost is beneath her. The slime spirits asking her themselves made her agree to help Azusa.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's a curvy, busty beauty whose outfit shows off a decent amount of her tanned skin. If the opening is any indication she's even something of a Proud Beauty.
  • Named After Someone Famous: She gets her name from the original Beelzebub, and living up to that name causes her no end of stress.
  • Victoria's Secret Compartment: Often keeps items in her cleavage if an opportunity were to arise.
  • Winged Humanoid: In addition to her fly transformation, she can perform a Partial Transformation that grants her human-sized fly wings to fly around even in demon form.
  • Workaholic: Beelezbub caused a misunderstanding among the demons regarding Nutri-Spirits because of this: she fell sick due to overworking after drinking Nutri-Spirits, and the other demons mistakenly thought it was Nutri-Spirits that was harmful.
  • Worthy Opponent: She sees Azusa as an opponent who is fun to fight, and occasionally asks for rematches.

Fatla
Vania Voiced By: Ari Ozawa (Japanese), Allegra Clark (English)
Fatla Voiced By: Miku Itō (Japanese) Veronica Taylor (English)
A pair of leviathan sisters who work as Beelzebub's direct subordinates.
  • Ascended Extra: While they are only small recurring characters in the main series, in Beelzebub's spin-off they are part of the main cast. They also get a lot of focus in the main series during the World Tree Arc when they accompany Azusa on her journey to the top.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Fatla has had one or two incidents where her stoic and quiet professional demeanor has given over to violent screaming boiling rage. All these incidents have involved her irresponsible sister, Vania.
  • Ear Fins: In both their leviathan and human forms, they have pairs of ears that look a lot like fish fins.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Vania is the foolish ditz to Fatla's responsibly serious.
  • Giant Flyer: Their true leviathan forms look like flying whales so massive that they can carry small towns on their backs.
  • Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: To demonstrate their being Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling, serious Fatla gets a pair of Tsurime Eyes, whilst ditzy Vania is given Tareme Eyes.
  • Kraken and Leviathan: They're leviathans, though almost always in human form for the simple reason that their leviathan forms are huge. Also, unlike the mythical leviathans, they typically fly through the air when in leviathan form, though they still have a reputation as water creatures because leviathans enjoy spending time in the water.
  • Morphic Resonance: When taking on human forms, they gain hair with a deep blue coloration that matches the primary skintone of their leviathan forms.
  • Naked First Impression: Both of them are first revealed to the cast without any clothes on, though Fatla was in leviathan form so it went unmentioned, whereas Vania was shirking her duties by bathing and ended up introducing herself with only Godiva Hair protecting her modesty, something that annoyed Beelzebub due to her lackadaisy attitude.
  • Statuesque Stunner: To fit with their natural forms being quite massive, their human forms are close to the tallest, and competing with Halkara for the bustiest, among the entire cast while also being very pretty.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: As a demon variant, they have the ability to shapeshift between their natural massive leviathan forms and human-like forms with Unusual Ears.

Voiced By: Yukari Tamura (Japanese), Corina Boettger (English)
The current King of the Demons. Though she looks like a sweet, polite, and gentle girl, she's actually quite cunning, cruel, and ruthless, as befitting the terror of her title and position.
  • A-Cup Angst: In the manga, when she's bathing with Beelzebub and Azusa, she tries to keep to herself. When Azusa asks her why she admits she is jealous of everyone else's chest sizes. Yes, even Azusa's. She also reveals the top of her dress is a push-up to give her the illusion of a bigger chest.
  • Affably Evil: As the King of the Demons, Pecora, is polite, gentle, and kind towards allies and equals, like Azusa. She is also mischievous, cunning, and outright evil, like the time she had Azusa unknowingly enslave Flatorte (the leader of the Blue Dragons) by asking Azusa to pet her horns—an act the dragons consider to be a sign of complete and utter surrender and subservience to another.
  • Aggressive Submissive: She is very aggressive about getting a Cool Big Sis to dominate and boss her around.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: She is one of the strongest characters in the series and the ruler of the Demon Kingdom. That said there is some debate to be had about how strong she is: for one she lost a fight against Azusa but never took the fight very seriously, while for another she says she was going to make Beelzebub be her "Big Sis" which implies Beelzebub is stronger than her, but again there's nothing concrete to confirm that.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: She acts innocent and a little kooky but underneath that is an extremely devious mind who is one of the few people Azusa is genuinely wary of.
  • Big Brother Worship: She possesses a strong desire to have another person to act as an adoring yet domineering older sibiling, with her having settled on Azusa as the perfect candidate for being her Cool Big Sis, and as with all her other interests she coerces Azusa into the role.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She puts on an innocent happy go lucky and playful facade, in order to hide a devious mind fully capable of doing cruel and malicious things for the greater good.
  • Bookworm: While she had to spend a lot of time inside her castle, her fantasies about romance and adventures came from reading books.
  • Five-Second Foreshadowing: Before entering the throne room, Beelzebub assures that the Demon King is friendly. After Azusa and her family enter, they're greeted by Pecora, who is very happy to meet them. She's also shown to be rather stronger, breaking Halkara's hand before healing it with magic. It takes Laika noticing the throne was empty before they're told this little girl they've just met is the Demon King.
  • The Gadfly: She's an incredibly mischievous girl who absolutely loves doing things that make people squirm or get their hearts racing, such as letting Halkara dig her own metaphorical grave through unintentionally insulting her repeatedly, or setting up Halkara to be potentially executed just to trick Azusa into being her Cool Big Sis. Despite all of this, she only does those things for light-hearted amusement, with her calling things off when her actions get too close to genuinely hurting others.
  • The Good King: While she may be more than willing to be underhanded and even cruel at times there is no doubt that she does it all in order to maintain peace and prosperity not only in her own kingdom but throughout the world.
  • Idol Singer:
    • On the 3rd and last day of the demon music festival, there's a tradition to renew the contract with the spirit of music with a ceremony. It used to be old fashioned, but Pecora modernized it to attract the younger people and gather more national spirit. Pecora herself sings to close the event.
    • She joins the second year that Azusa joins Flatta's dance festival and sings. She claims it's to bridge the gap between the humans and demons, but Azusa thinks she and the demons are here just for fun.
  • Implausible Fencing Powers: The Razor Wind shockwave from even just a warm up swing of her sword cleanly cuts the stone tower she was in. As she gets more serious, another tower in the background gets cut as well.
  • Lightning Bruiser: While she's not quite on Azusa's level, she's fast enough to keep up with the witch and strong enough to cut down massive building with single sword swings.
  • Lonely at the Top: She finds her role as Demon King to be a bit suffocating, since her demon subjects are so subservient they never even try to give criticism to her actions, let alone talk to her in a forceful way, not even the decently strong Beelzebub who can compare to or potentially even surpass her, which annoys her since her greatest desire is to have a commanding Cool Big Sis figure in her life. It's to the point she was overjoyed as soon as she learned of Azusa's existence, as she's both absolutely stronger than Pecora and is human, meaning no societal obligations to be subservient to her, so with a little nudging Pecora was finally able to find somebody who could be the controlling and domineering sibling figure she always wanted.
  • Maou the Demon King: Subverted. At first, Azusa's group assumed that the Demon King they were about to meet would be such a controlling tyrant "he" would execute somebody if they offended "him". They then find out that the Demon King is actually a mischieveous little girl who is, at her worst, Affably Evil. Her subjects live happy lives under her rule and they are loyal to her, as seen when Halkara accidentally puts her into a coma, where Beelzebub rushes to her king's side to check on her and the soldiers are quick to put the elf under arrest and prepare her execution.
  • Middle Name Basis: Her prefered way to be addressed is by her middle name Pecora.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's close to the slime spirits in how much shorter than the rest of the cast she is, but held in that small body is an incredible level of power, as befitting the Demon King, capable of swinging around a BFS as long as she is tall and demolish massive buildings with minimal effort through Razor Winds, along with being able to keep up with Azusa's own utterly insane power, even if she's not strong enough to actually hurt or even kill the witch.
  • Powerful People Are Subs: She is the Demon King, which makes her one of the most powerful individuals in the world. Yet for years, she has been looking for a Cool Big Sis figure to boss her around, which she finds in Azusa. Playing into this, she will reject Azusa's requests if the latter politely asks, but she will eagerly oblige if the witch outright demands her to do so.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Not only is she The Good King who utilizes her political power and physical might to work towards maintaining peace and prosperity across the land, but when dealing with people of other races she's strict but fair while having the worst of her Affably Evil attitude, like tricking Azusa into enslaving Flatorte, be mostly harmless with the results. The "Halkara to be executed for harming Pecora" incident shows this well, as even though the entire situation was a ploy to trick Azusa into becoming her Cool Big Sis whether she was willing or not, she genuinely meant no harm to Halkara and planned to let her go free anyway, even if mainly to avoid incurring Azusa's wrath if her main plan fell through.
  • Sexy Backless Outfit: Her default dress.
  • She Is the King: The King of Demons is a traditional title that is independent of gender.

Slimes

    In General 
The weakest monster found in all the lands, great for building up a bit of XP and cash for novice adventures on their first quest.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: All slimes have a hole on their bodies that if poked will instantly kill them.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Evil slimes have a pale hue, while darker slimes are good.
  • Cute Slime Mook: As one might expect they are tiny colorful blobs of slime, although the special slimes' capabilities may put them into Metal Slime territory.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: According to Falfa and Shalsha, dark colored slimes are good.
  • Dub Name Change: In the original Japanese, all the special slimes met while trying to revert a unwillingly morphed Falfa have portmanteau'd pun type names (Kensura and Maasura after Azusa nicknames them, Bussura naturally)note . Since this doesn't work in English without making it more awkward than necessary, they're changed to sound like Affectionate Nickname versions of their Red Baron titles. The localized manga downplays this by tagging the "-sly" suffix to adjectives, in this case Smarsly, Wizly, and Fighsly.
    • The Latin American translation of the anime also follows this pattern, but by adding the prefix "Sli-" to the slimes' adjectives in Spanish: Slinteli (Inteli being a shortened form of "Inteligente", smart), Slimaga ("Maga", meaning female wizard or mage), and Slilucha (for "Lucha", Fight).
  • Light Is Not Good: According to Falfa and Shalsha, light colored slimes are full of evil.
  • Theme Naming: In both the original Japanese and official English, Azusa unintentionally created a name theme for the special slimes met on the Falfa-restoring quest, due to the last independently sharing her sense in naming. Both languages use shortenings of their Red Baron titles, with the Japanese tacking "-sura" on the end to make a pun on slime (suraimu) and the English adding "-ie" on the end to create easy to remember Affectionate Nicknames.

    Grand Slime 
A very old and very big slime who lives in the middle of a very spooky forest.

    Intellie, the Intelligent Slime 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/intellie.png
A very intelligent and sage like slime who lives under the Demon Castle...'s garden shed.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Takes this even further than regular good slimes in both "darkness" and "goodness", as the ink it used to create its communication system has turned it completely black from its watery body absorbing it over repeated slamming, while also being incredibly friendly and very helpful even to people it just met (like Azusa and co.).
  • Dub Name Change: In the original Japanese its name was Kensura, the "Ken" coming from the Japanese word for sage, Kenja.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": Because it is the Intelligent slime Azusa decides to name it Intellie.
  • The Speechless: Being a slime without the ability to shapeshift vocal chords, it isn't capable of talking. It makes up for this by having letters all around its room (in the anime it's a keyboard-like square area) where it can spell out what it wants to say.

    Magie, the Magician Slime 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magie.jpg
Voiced By: Miyuri Shimabukuro (Japanese)
A slime who is capable of great magic and was able to gain a human form after long study of the arcane arts.
  • Dub Name Change: In the original Japanese her name was Maasura. The "Maa" comes from Mahotsukai, the Japanese word for magician or magic user.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": Because she is a slime magician Azusa decides to name her Magie.
  • The Needless: Her home doesn't have much in it because as a slime she doesn't really require anything like a bed or a bathroom.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: She uses magic to transform herself into a human. The spell necessary is only temporary, so she mostly uses it when having guests.

    Fightie, the Fighter Slime 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fightie.jpg
Voiced By: Ayasa Itō (Japanese) Veronica Taylor (English)
A slime that had acquired human form through vigorous physical activities. After being defeated by Beelzebub in a tournament, she decides to become her student much to the demoness' chagrin.
  • Broken Pedestal: After Azusa wins a fighting competition, she acknowledges her as her 'hero' and begs to be her student. That is, until she realizes that she acquired her strength from killing millions of slimes. At which point, she passes out in terror.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: Unlike Magie who can transform with magic, Fightie became a Voluntary Shapeshifter purely through constantly training her mind and body until she could morph at will.
  • Cycle of Hurting: Her fighting style is the Fightie-style slime fist, and a hidden move of that is repeated low power kicks. The first kick knocks off the opponent's balance and the subsequent kicks keep them in the air. Azusa calls it a stunlock. She could do that even in her slime form. Or rather, she's more flexible that way as the opponents can't tell where her whips will come out from and they could go around the opponent to attack from other directions.
  • Dub Name Change: In the original Japanese her name was Bussura. The "Bus" comes from Bushi, the Japanese word for martial arts.
  • Everyone Has Standards: She initially was very eager to be Azusa's student to learn her strength, until she picked up on the fact that she was a slaughterer of millions of slimes through her aura, after which she went for Beelzebub instead.
  • Genki Girl: She is very energetic and excitable.
  • Greed: She enters a lot of tournaments solely for the sake of money. At times she hints at it even being a Money Fetish for her.
  • Involuntary Shapeshifter: Like Falfa, she reverted to her slime form when she hurt her back while training with Laika. But she can still talk in that form. Her fighting skills are also retained and is still good enough to win a tournament.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": She is the "Fighter Slime", and her actual proper name is Fightie. This is mostly a punchline about Azusa being a Giver of Lame Names who, by sheer coincidence, creates a Theme Naming for the special slimes with Intellie and Magie prior.

Spirits

    In General 
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Several decades ago Yufufu designed and created a cave dungeon for the World Spirit Summit in a ravine without the nearby village knowing it or hiring any construction workers. She hired rock spirits to do the job.
  • Nature Spirit: They are based on elements they rule over like water. But they are further divided into specific concepts like waterfalls, cumulonimbus clouds, puddle, spring water, underground water, hot spring, river, ocean depth, waves etc. If there was a water spirit in general they would be too powerful for the world.
  • News Travels Fast: Stories about Azusa's slime spirits have spread to far away places much faster than she thought. It's due to the wind spirits sharing the news and gossip to other spirits.
  • Teleportation: Spirits are good at teleporting around and could take other people with them as well.

    Yufufu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yufufu_4.png
A Droplet Spirit that organizes the World Spirit Summit and is called Momma by many spirits. Offers to take the role of Azusa's mother.
  • Incredibly Lame Fun: During vacations she enjoys being in damp sea caves listening to the water dripping.
  • Mother Nature: She was the only spirit willing to take the busy administrative duties of the World Spirit Summit starting from her neighborhood. Then as part of her job she investigates all she can about spirits and gets called as Momma. She also offers to be Azusa's mom.
  • Nature Spirit: Among the water spirits, she's the spirit of droplets. Like when water drips from the gutter after the rain or as the snow melts in spring. Along with the other water spirits she heard from the World Spirit Summit, Azusa is surprised at how crazy specific they are.
  • Water Is Womanly: Azusa's very first impression is how big her boobs are, even bigger than Halkara's. Which turns out to be very comforting when Azusa hugs her with her head buried in them. Although it may look like you wet yourself afterwards.

    Misjantie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misjantie.png
A pine spirit who also was once revered as a matchmaker and the spirit of witness at weddings. She was getting depressed as the population of the town her main temple is in is aging and less people are using her ceremonies. But her reputation got a boost when the news that the Witch of the Highlands used her service spread.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: She's so desperate to do more wedding work she begs Azusa's group to marry someone. And as they decline she suggests increasingly ridiculous ideas such as a single person loving and marrying themself.
  • Invisible to Normals: When she's first met Halkara and Natalie can't see her. But Azusa could see her clearly while Flatorte sees a mirage like image. She's caught off guard that high level people came to see her in a desolate far away town.
  • Nature Is Boring: She's a pine spirit, but is bored of growing pine trees. She finds weddings more interesting.
  • Offerings to the Gods: Played for Laughs — Azusa wonders whether the prayers from a wedding ceremony in her temple will restore her power, but Misjantie bluntly says she's looking for some monetary power.
  • Verbal Tic: Has a very casual style of talking and says "man" in almost all of her lines.

    Curalina 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/curalina.png
A jellyfish spirit that's also an wandering artist. Her paintings have gloomy, heavy themes with ghastly, dark brushwork.
  • The Beastmaster: Averted. She's a jellyfish spirit but they can't think and could only move following the the water current. So while she could talk to them with telepathy, she has no influence on them whatsoever. She calls this setting an example of a vagrant lifestyle.
  • The Drifter: Like jellyfish in the waves, she drifts aimlessly around the world while drawing paintings.
  • Forgot About His Powers: Yufufu reminds her she could make jellyfish luminate. But she has to remember how she does it.
  • Gloomy Gray: Her paintings draw the world as it is or what people feel on the inside. Which she draws as dark and everyone looking like gloomy ghosts.
  • Nature Spirit: She's a water based spirit of the jellyfish because their bodies are mostly made of water.
  • The Older Immortal: By an order of magnitude — she casually reveals that she's 60 or 70 thousand years old.

Others

    Goodly Godly Godness 
Voiced By: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese) Veronica Taylor (English)
The goddess who granted Azusa her second life.
  • Actor Allusion: She states Azusa will look "17 years old, just the way I like it". She is voiced by "eternally 17" Kikuko Inoue.
  • Advertised Extra: She appears in the opening credits in the room she met Azusa in, waving to the viewer. Despite her importance to the plot as the one who granted Azusa a second life, she's the only plot relevant character in the series to never make a reappearance in the first season after doing the deed, making this the only other time she appears. Even the four travelers who challenged Azusa in the first episode had more screentime than her.
  • Ambiguously Gay: She says she has a soft spot for pretty girls and reincarnated Azusa to an age she prefers.
  • Great Gazoo: She's a goddess, but she's also clearly very eccentric and has no problem having reincarnated a recently deceased young lady into a fantasy world. Later in the manga, she's banished into the world she reincarnated Azusa into, unintentionally causing her trouble.
  • Physical God: When she's demoted into Azusa's world, she appears in the flesh and even does talk shows.

    Dragons 
One of the most powerful species living in the world, they are broken up into various factions based on the color of their scales.
  • Book Dumb: No Blue Dragon had ever passed the written test to enter the tourney for Dragon Lord until Flatorte managed it, and even then it required considerable effort on her part.
  • Breath Weapon: All dragons have one, but what it differs based on the faction; The Red Dragons are your traditional fire breathing dragons, while the Blue Dragons have icy breath that freezes everything it touches.
  • Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Dragons tend to be weak against their elemental opposite; for example Red Dragons are weak to ice magic while Blue Dragons are weak to fire magic.
  • Honor Before Reason: Blue Dragons more than any other faction highly prize their honor, even over their very own lives.
  • An Ice Person: Blue Dragons have icy breath that freezes all it touches.
  • Idiots Cannot Catch Colds: Blue dragons rarely get sick. And the saying originated from humans spending time with the blue dragons.
  • Offered the Crown: Every few decades, all the dragons have a series of contests to see which of them will become the Dragon Lord. Apparently it's divided by gender, though we don't know quite how the split works; the battle we see is for the girls' division, with the winner crowned Dragon Lord. However, victory doesn't really change the winner's life, and they can just continue on as they had before.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: They all have the look of classic European dragons with elemental Breath Weapons.
  • Playing with Fire: Red Dragons weapon of choice is powerful flaming breath.
  • Reputation Apathy: Azusa compares the Blue Dragons to high school delinquents. They don't care about their self image and are lazy in their town, only occasionally working as needed. There aren't bars or inns either for visitors.
  • Slave Race: Flatorte mentions that at one point in the past Blue Dragons were used as military mounts by humans and some accounts even refer to them as slaves.
  • Weredragon: They all have the ability to transform into a human form.

    Eno 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eno_5.jpg
Voiced By: Hikaru Tōno (Japanese), Anairis Quiñones (English)
A young witch Azusa and Laika meet when searching for an imposter claiming to be the real Witch of the Highlands. Currently 150 years old.
  • Appeal to Tradition: A lot of Eno's problems stem from the fact that she is overly attached to appearing witch-like with a home that's hidden away and very hard to get to even if you know the way, while also only selling her wares to a very select few.
  • Artifact Name: She's still called the Witch of the Grotto even though she moved out of her cave and has a workshop in a town.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Stuck between wanting to be a proper Witch and also being a part of the world in a more meaningful way, Eno can come across as a bit of a scatterbrain whose goals and desires conflict with each other.
  • Didn't Think This Through: In a bid for attention, she decided to impersonate "The Witch of the Highlands". However, she didn't bother to do any research about who she would be impersonating aside from bits and pieces of gossip about her, so her impersonation is way off the mark. Not to mention that when the real Azusa hears about the impersonation and personally confronts her, Eno has no idea what to do other than give up the façade and beg for forgiveness.
  • Red Baron: Witch of the Cave.
  • Solitary Sorceress: Invoked — she lives in a remote, inaccessible cave because she thinks it's what a witch is supposed to do.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: She is immortal like Azusa, but unlike Azusa who befriended the nearby town, Eno has been almost entirely alone for 150 years.

    Pondeli 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pondeli.png
An undead beastman girl living in the village that Azusa found Eno. She is currently 40 years old as an undead.
  • Adapted Out: The anime skips over her story (which in original chronology comes just before the tiny Azusa arc).
  • Cat Girl: She is a beastman with cat-like ears and tail.
  • Foil: To Azusa, or at least to how she use to be in her original world, Azusa worked so much that the stress eventually killed her, Pondeli on the other hand is so work adverse that even feeding herself was too much and she died. Both are able to find a better balance in their new lives.
  • Lazy Bum: She dislikes any kind of work. Fortunately, Beelzeub is willing to work with that, and sets her up running a game store. Now the catgirl does the administrative work of running the store, setting up tournaments, designing new games, and all the while she doesn't seem to realizes that this counts as "work".
  • NEET: She absolutely abhors any form of work, and her title in the village, Guard of the Cemetery, is a play on "Guarding One's Home," a popular way to say you don't leave the house or have a job. It's so bad that she actually starved to death simply because it was too much work to get food.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: She's undead, but besides eating rotten fruit and smelling kinda bad, she's not much different from a regular person. According to Beelzebub, actual zombies have been extinct for a long time. Pondeli thinks that she was revived cause she happened to die in front of a window and got bathed in moonlight, which is possible, though Fatla suspects it was actually a wizard looking for a servant, but Pondeli proved to be too lazy.

    Kuku 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuku.jpg
Voiced By: Kotori Koiwai (Japanese), Tara Sands (English)
An almiraj girl who worked as a musician traveling minstrel shows before meeting Azusa and her family.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: In the anime, Kuku's musical persona goes from dark 'death-style' to a more emotional and happy style to match her happier persona. However, in the light novels, while Kuku changes her approach somewhat, her songs still remain dark and depressing, to the point of being able to cause people to fall into despair and depression. In a later volume when she is able to broadcast her music, she deliberately cuts herself off after the first verse saying that the rest of the song might be upsetting to the audience (it would).
  • Death Metal: She mainly plays this type of music, known as "death-style" in this universe, but she also plays other styles after some coaching from Flatorte.
  • Determinator: She had been "Schifanoia" for sixty-three years, despite how hard it was and the temptation to take a much better paying job as a bunny-girl waitress.
  • Honorary True Companion: She lives in the house in the highlands for quite a while and has a standing welcome to "return home" whenever she wants.
  • Killer Rabbit: Subverted. Despite her species being named after this, she doesn't even have a horn, and beyond her death metal music there's nothing deadly about her.
  • Little Bit Beastly: Almiraj are rabbit-themed beastmen, but she only looks like a humanoid with rabbit ears and tail. Curiously, she has four ears, with a pair of human ears in addition to her rabbit ones.
  • Mean Character, Nice Actor: Her minstrel persona is a death metal rocker, but she is a reality a kind sweet girl. The cast were actually surprised how she looked without her makeup.
  • Shown Their Work:
    • The Metal genre of music places a premium on Authenticity, and this is shown in Kuku when she reads Rosalie's lyrics for "Nothing". It's based on the ghost girl's own experiences with death, darkness and isolation, which makes Kuku feel like a poser, because her experience pales in comparison (she obviously hasn't died yet).
    • This also comes up when Flatorte accuses her of looking down on minstrels who stay popular and successful by following trends.
    • Real Life Metal has a LOT of subgenres.
  • Stage Name: Schifanoia is how she presents herself when she plays "death-style".
  • Starving Artist: She fell unconscious after her stint at Flatta exactly because of hunger. According to her, it's not the first time she's fell unconscious from starvation.
  • Street Musician: While being called a "minstrel", she is more akin to a modern-day street musician. She walks on foot from town to town playing music as a living.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Her death metal music can still fetch a small audience (about 30) in the capital. In the countryside, such as Flatta, pretty much no one cares about her music, and find it painful to listen to.
