Zenovia is one of the many female protagonists of High School DxD. She appears in Volume 3 of the light novels alongside Irina Shido to retrieve the stolen Excaliburs as ordered by the Church. She is a natural-born Holy Sword user who wields the Durandal. After learning the truth of God's death in the war, she was kicked out of the Church, and decides to join the Occult Research Club as Rias' second Knight.

Appearance
Zenovia is a young woman around Issei's age with short blue hair and dark brown eyes. Her initial outfit consists of a black, translucent, skin-tight unitard with short sleeves, matching fingeless gloves that extend to her biceps, and thigh-high boots, all of which are adorned with straps. This outfit is worn over a white hooded cloak with gold accents. She also wears a crucifix around her neck, which was later removed when she became a Devil. Upon transferring to Kuoh Academy and joining the Occult Research Club, she wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform.

Personality
She tries to seduce Issei whenever she can because she wants to give birth to a strong baby. After volume 3, she gains a very close relationship with Asia, and is touched by Asia's kindness and apologizes to her calling Asia a witch. As the series progresses, it is shown that Zenovia gains a romantic feeling towards Issei due to his determination of protecting his comrades even if he gets injured by doing so. She also gets angry with a scary aura when other girls are getting closer to him. She is power type with the speed of a knight.

As Zenovia was raised in a church, she lacks common knowledge on normal people's life, evident when she brought a box of condoms to school.

Plot
Zenovia made her appearance in volume 3 with Irina seeking to retreive the stolen Excaliburs.

Powers & Abilities
Since she is a knight rank possesses super speed. She is also a natural user user of Durandal (though she doesn't know how to fully control it) this also allows her to tap into Durandal's holy aura with other swords this evident when she uses it with Ascalon (Issei allows her to use it since he's not a good swordsman and because she can't fully control Durandal). In volume 9, her Durandal is upgraded into the Ex-Durandal, which is the fusion of Durandal and the Excalibur Fragments owned by the Church.
