–Bennia introducing herself to the Occult Research Club, Volume 14, Life.4 | ||
Bennia Orcus is the daughter of the Grim Reaper Orcus and an unnamed Human mother. She was a former underling of Hades until she defected to become the second Knight of Sona Sitri's Peerage. In the aftermath of the Hell Disaster, she was traded to Issei Hyoudou, becoming the second Knight of his Peerage. She is a first-year high school student at Kuoh Academy, as well as a member of the Occult Research Club.
Appearance[]
Bennia has the appearance of a girl with pale skin. She is described as a cute girl with long, dark purple hair and sleepy golden eyes. Her hair is tied in a long braid by a bow with a purple skull, reaching all the way down to her hips. Bennia also has 3 black markings on both her thighs also having gold neon lines in its interior.
She wears a white skull mask in conjunction with her Grim Reaper clothing which consists of a light blue dress and a black and white hood resembling a jester cap with a emerald gem at the tip. She also wears black elbow length gloves covered in gold neon lines with gems at the back of her wrists. As a huge fan of Oppai Dragon, she has many embroideries of its designs on the back of her black cape.
Personality[]
Bennia is shown to be an upbeat and outgoing young girl. She greatly admires Oppai Dragon, comparing the Hyoudou Residence to Shangri-La. She can also be a bit of a prankster, such as dropping Elmenhilde Karnstein out of her magic circle several feet off of the floor or a roof.
She seems to be a good strategist too, such as stating that Saji was the only one in Sona's Peerage with a chance to put up a good fight against Issei.
History[]
Not much is known about Bennia's past, other than that she was born from one human woman and the fact that she used to serve as a Grim Reaper alongside her father, Orcus, under Hades in the Underworld. She eventually left the place as she could not get along with Hades and his method of doing things. Before the Volume 14 she met Sona and joined her peerage.
