Liliruca Arde

Liliruca Arde is a member of the Hestia Familia. Originally a member of the Soma Familia, she converted to the Hestia Familia after securing her freedom after the War Game. She is the reincarnation of the former Fianna Knights' leader and legendary heroine Fianna. Lili has a petite body with chestnut-colored hair and eyes. She wears a slightly torn red and white hooded top that exposes her midriff and a red skirt that she chooses to leave unbuttoned. She also uses long hand gloves, black tights and light brown boots. Lili used to use Cinder Ella to disguise herself while living apart from the Soma Familia, but stopped doing so after the Familia's reformation. As a Chienthrope child, she had dark brown hair and gold eyes along with ears and a tail. As an Elf child, she had golden hair and Elf ears. Lili originally hated adventurers due to the treatment she received as a supporter, using that as an excuse to trick and steal from adventurers she partied with. She also treated Bell the same way. However, his constant kindness and equal treatment of her caused Lili to question her own attitude, as he gave her half their spoils and valued her as a person. After she is saved by Bell, she becomes much closer to him and develops romantic feelings for him. Lili often uses her experience to gather information or do jobs that Bell and the other members of the Hestia Familia would be unable to do properly. She is also frequently amazed at how Bell seems to constantly get himself involved in trouble, yet she still cooperates with him in whatever he does. Lili is regarded as the "brains" of the Familia, being that she is the most capable when it comes to developing battle plans and strategies. She advised Bell and Welf to travel to the eighteenth floor when they were trapped in the dungeon, and she was crucial in forming the Hestia Familia's plan of attack for the War Game. Lili also possesses a strong insight, forged through her time as a thief, as she was able to pick up Finn Deimne's speech patterns, mannerisms, and character after only one meeting with him. During discussions and arguments, Lili tends to take the most logical and cautious point of view. She's keener on using magic swords rather than risk the chance of monsters overwhelming them, bringing her to odds with Welf, and taking the cheaper option when it comes to items, food, etc. However, some stances that Lili argues for could be viewed as cold-hearted. She was against rescuing Haruhime from her life as a prostitute and was against keeping Wiene in their home. This is not due to her lacking compassion, but rather her desire to not see harm brought upon her Familia. In both situations, she argued that doing so would bring trouble to the Familia, the latter turning out to be correct. As a result of the discrimination she suffered throughout her life Lili talks in a quite respectful way, addressing everyone with the suffix sama.
