Personality part.1

When Xenovia was first introduced, she was shown to have a calm, quiet, and serious demeanor, putting her mission first and only speaking when necessary. She was also very cold, bordering on heartless, as she called Asia a witch for becoming a Devil (even though she became one unwillingly so she could be with Issei) and even went so far as to try and kill her. She later threatened to do the same to Kiba when he was technically a Stray. After being reborn as a Devil, however, she gains a very close relationship with Asia, being touched by her kindness and apologizes for calling her a witch when they first met. In battle, Xenovia appears to be a bit arrogant, stubborn, and rarely uses her head in attempting to overwhelm her opponents with pure power and strength instead of being subtle or using skills. According to Issei, her fighting style is comparable to that of a Rook despite being a Knight, referring to her as a "Power idiot". As Xenovia was raised in the Church, she lacks common knowledge on the life of a normal person, evident when she brought a box of condoms to school as well as wanting to give birth to strong children, and has chosen Issei as her mate. it is shown that Xenovia has developed genuine romantic feelings towards Issei due to him protecting his comrades, even if he gets injured by doing so. As a result, she becomes more aggressive in seducing him, which proves that Xenovia is quite perverted as well, a fact that she is "cool" with. While a faithful member of the Church, her beliefs are flexible enough to accept help from a Dragon, such as receiving a free lunch (after Irina spent all their money on a fake painting of a Saint) and wanting to not only accomplish their mission but survive afterward as well.Although Xenovia started off harsh when concerning issues such as Asia who was a former Nun dubbed a Witch for healing a devil, she has since become more open-minded about with her beliefs as she deeply sympathized with Masaomi for being unable

to be with Cleria and even shed tears for him even in battle conflicting her serious nature in combat and even held onto him after Rizevim killed him.

History

Since her childhood, Xenovia has endeavored in her training and studies for God and her religion. She was also raised and trained as the wielder of Durandal under Griselda Quarta as her sword master and legal guardian. Eventually, she becomes an exorcist, an agent of the Catholic Church, and partnered with Irina Shidou. After Xenovia's life was put in danger three years prior to the series, because of her formerly long hair in a mission with Irina to exterminate a stray vampire from the House of Manthar, she chose to cut her long hair to prevent that kind of thing from happening again. She also dyed a part of her hair green for fashion.

Powers and Abilities part.1

Demonic Power: Xenovia has all the powers and abilities common to Devils, including the power to cast spells. Natural-born Holy Sword Wielder: Xenovia is a natural-born Holy Sword wielder and capable of wielding any Holy Sword without artificial means like Irina. Even reincarnated as a Devil, Xenovia is still able to wield any Holy Sword without any issues. Enhanced Strength: Due to her years of training in the church, Xenovia gained superb arm strength, able to wield very heavy swords like Excalibur Destruction and Durandal with ease. After being reincarnated into a Devil, her natural strength has been increased too. Enhanced Speed: Xenovia is able to move at superhuman speeds. She combines her speed with Durandal's destructive powers, making her a formidable fighter. Her speed is further enhanced by her Knight piece. However, Xenovia is considerably slower than Yuuto due to her being power-oriented as opposed to the technique-oriented Yuuto. When further combined with the Excalibur Rapidly, her speed is enhanced and she can move as fast as Masaomi. Immense Stamina: Xenovia has massive amounts of stamina and endurance. She was durable enough to confront Nero at the end of their match. She can still muster enough strength to use Cross Crisis enhanced by Crimson Destruction Dragonar. Master Swordswoman: Xenovia is a highly skilled swordswoman and is later revealed to prefer to dual wield. She was able to fight on par with Kiba in their initial match (albeit not in his right state of mind) and Freed Sellzen wielding Excalibur Destruction. Xenovia, however, is weak in technique when compared to Kiba preferring to use power in all her attacks. She has started to improve her skills as time progressed, and it was even stated that if she were to master Ex-Durandal, then she could combat the True Longinus' Balance Breaker and surpass Kiba. It is stated by Azazel that her power is equal to that of a High-class Devil. Tomoe Meguri also stated that Xenovia's swordsmanship

skills are on a whole different level alongside Irina. In Volume 19, after fighting Vasco Strada, she returned to her dual-wielding style and went back on the power aspect of her fighting style. In Volume 25, by using Excalibur's Scabbard, Xenovia was able to keep up with Apollon, God of Sun. Magic: Xenovia can use Magic to store away Durandal in another dimension and summon it back when she needs it. Keen Intellect: While considered an idiot like Issei, Xenovia had studied hard to improve her knowledge and intellect in order to become a Student Council President. She managed to excel in her studies and was successfully chosen as the Student Council President. Praying: Xenovia is one of the two Devils, the other being Asia, that can pray to God without receiving damage in the form of a headache after Issei made a request to Michael to allow her to pray to God. Flight: As a Devil, Xenovia can fly using her wings.

Equipments part.1

Durandal (デュランダル, Dyurandaru): Xenovia's main weapon, a unique-shaped single-edged blue broadsword that has a golden edge. It is a unique sword, to the point that it responds to the user, for her, Durandal releases a massive aura, which has destructive powers. Xenovia later learned that she can transfer Durandal's aura into another Holy Sword, as proven when she channeled its Holy Aura inside Ascalon. Durandal Birth: A combination technique between Xenovia and Yuuto, where she channels its Holy Power to Yuuto, who would unleash his sacred gear creating multiple Holy Demonic Swords covered in the Holy Power of Durandal directed at their targets. Durandal Cannon (デュランダル・キャノン, Dyurandaru Kyanon ): This is a technique that has been dubbed as such by Issei, in which, Xenovia charges the Holy Power of Ex-Durandal, then unleashes the Holy Power as one powerful attack, which can devour her opponents. However, a drawback is that after a single use, it has to be charged up again, but it's not as fast after the first time. Cross Crisis (クロス・クライシス, Kurosu Kuraishisu): This is a new technique that Xenovia named in their fight against Walburga, in which, she uses Durandal and True Excalibur to augment each other's Holy Power before unleashing a powerful cross-shaped attack powerful enough to split apart the purple flamed Yamata no Orochi whose soul had been used for Walburga's Incinerate Antiphon Calvario. Excalibur (エクスカリバー, Ekusukaribā): Xenovia's second weapon. She was able to materialize the original True Excalibur, through merging the all the seven fragments into a single one instead of a single fragment, allowing her to wield the true blade itself. Excalibur's Scabbard (エクスカリバーの鞘さや, Ekusukaribā no Saya): The legendary Scabbard of Excalibur, which emits Holy Power similar to a normal Holy Sword was originally sealed in an underground ruin. This makes Xenovia essentially immortal, healing wounds suffered from even a God-class being, however, this has its limits, but it allo

wed her to endure the light-based attacks of the Chief-God, Apollon despite being a Devil and entrapped in a light cage. Crimson Destruction Dragonar (真紅の破壊龍騎士クリムゾン・デストラクツョン・ドラグナー, Kurimuzon Desutorakushon Doragunā): Also known as Crimson Dragon Knight of Destruction is Xenovia's variation of the Scale Mail, where Issei uses his Red Wyverns to attach themselves to her and syncs their auras to create a red armor for herself. Using this armor, her strength and speed are increased to where a single swing of Durandal was powerful enough to leave a large crater even changing the terrain and fast enough to outpace even Nero. It is unknown if Xenovia can use Boost, Transfer, and Penetrate as it noted to be similar yet different from Rias' Crimson Extinct Dragonar. Knight Piece (騎き士しの駒こま, Kishi no Koma): Xenovia was reincarnated using a Knight Piece, which enhances her speed, making her faster than an average person. It is noted that while she gained increased speed, her power-type fighting style leaves her slower then other technique-type Knights such as Yuuto or Bennia. Formerly Excalibur Destruction (破壊の聖剣エクスカリバー・デストラクション, Eksukaribā Desutorakushon): Xenovia's initial weapon. A Holy Sword that has the ability to unleash pure, destructive power that can easily shatter anything it comes into contact with. Xenovia abandons the sword after she became a Devil under Rias. However, the sword was later returned to her and fused with Durandal to form Ex-Durandal. Ascalon (アスカロン, Asukaron): Issei's weapon, Xenovia borrows the sword occasionally in order to tap the Durandal's aura into the Ascalon. After gaining the Ex-Durandal, Xenovia no longer borrows the sword from Issei. Ex-Durandal (エクスデュランダル, Ekusu-Dyurandaru): This is an upgraded version of Durandal, which has been merged with all six Excalibur fragments held by the Church before Xenovia gains the last one in Volume 11, thus granting it the powers of Durandal and Excalibur with Kiba stating she would be able to combat

even Cao Cao in Balance Breaker if she were to master it. Xenovia, however, partially mastered Excalibur Ruler, Excalibur Blessing, and Excalibur Nightmare. In Volume 19, in the battle against Vasco Strada, she accepted the true nature of Durandal and Excalibur, thus letting Xenovia dual-wield both the Durandal and True Excalibur.
