Velgrynd

Velgrynd (ヴェルグリンド), also known as Scorch Dragon (灼熱竜), is the third-oldest of the five True Dragons. She is the partner of Rudra and will not stop at anything in helping him achieve his desires.

Human Form
Velgrynd has azure blue hair kept in twin buns with black ribbons and deep gold eyes. Her usual attire consists of a dark colored china dress with a golden dragon pattern as well as white long gloves and white thigh length boots both adorned with gold ornaments. She is described as having a very germanic style beauty.

Dragon Form
Her Dragon form is similar in size to Veldora's Dragon form, however her body takes on a more agile snake-like shape suitable for flying in the sky. She is covered in crimson red scales with white spikes covering her back. On each side of her body runs a thin line in the same deep golden color as her eyes.

Personality
Fitting her title and attributes, Velgrynd is a hotheaded individual who dislikes complex schemes and often acts on her emotions. She exudes great confidence in her power, which is why she was left utterly stunned when Rimuru, a mere upstart Demon Lord, defeated her. However, unlike her brother Veldora, she readily admits her defeat and acknowledges it. Velgrynd has a whimsical nature and is only inclined to help and cooperate with others if they have earned her respect.

When it comes to her friends and family, Velgrynd is very compassionate. In contrast to her sister Velzard, she is known for her gentleness and her tendency to spoil Veldora the most when disciplining him. Upon thinking that Veldora had been killed by Rimuru's hands, she immediately flew into a rage. However, her anger turned to joy upon discovering that he was alive and well.

The most defining trait of Velgrynd is her unwavering devotion to Rudra. She is willing to go to any lengths and do anything he desires, and anyone who dares to insult Rudra in any way instantly triggers her rage. Velgrynd's interests are primarily aligned with Rudra's, and she pays little attention to other matters unless they hold value in his eyes.

Background
Velgrynd is the embodiment of the concept of acceleration and possesses control over fire. She is the third among the True Dragons to be born, and at some point, she was bestowed with the Ultimate Skill Raguel by her elder brother, Veldanava, possibly because of the intrinsic nature of acceleration. It is presumed that sometime after this, she met the Chosen Hero Rudra, with whom she eventually fell in love. Together with his sister Lucia, they embarked on a mission to the North to defeat Guy Crimson. However, Rudra recklessly named the Daemon, causing his Divine Spiritual Power to deplete, and he wandered between life and death. Because of this, Velgrynd was very angry with him. She was also present when Rudra and Guy dueled, and during that time, she would argue with her elder sister, Velzard, about how to discipline their newly born brother, Veldora. Some time later, when Rudra and Guy engaged in their game to rule the world, Rudra established his base in the East, and Velgrynd was one of the individuals who supported him. With her tremendous strength as a True Dragon, they transformed the once small minor kingdom of Nasca into the Great Eastern Empire by absorbing all the surrounding kingdoms in the East, eventually making Rudra the Emperor.

With the Empire in place as a base, Rudra and Velgrynd established the Imperial Guardians, an elite group of Enlightened Humans with the potential to become powerful warriors known as Saints. They would occasionally send these warriors off to battle in order for them to gain experience and awaken as Saints, with Velgrynd as the Marshal. Her true identity was kept a secret, and she served as Rudra's greatest pawn and partner against Guy. In an effort to turn the tide of victory against Guy Crimson and help Rudra lessen the burden of controlling the Ultimate Skill Michael, Velgrynd hoped that Veldora would assist her in her endeavor. However, he refused and instead challenged her, but she defeated him, and he fled with his tail between his legs. The aftermath of their battle created a volcanic region near the future city of El Dorado.

Unknown to Velgrynd, Rudra was nearing his limit, and he secretly asked both Damrada and Tatsuya Kondou to kill him if he ever lost control, unbeknownst to her. Fortunately, that time never came, however the Ultimate Skill Michael eventually managed to secretly take control of Rudra, turning him into a cruel and mindless puppet. It also took control of all of Rudra's vassals, including Velgrynd herself, without her knowledge.

However, it wasn't until she was defeated by a slime named Rimuru Tempest that she was finally able to break free from Michael's control. Thanks to Ciel and Rimuru, she gained a new power that allowed her to search for her beloved Rudra's soul across space, time and even other worlds until only one shard remained. The soul shards she had collected returned to her beloved Rudra, who was now known as Masayuki Honjou. The return of his soul fragments sent the boy back to the Central World. Velgrynd, now on a new quest to find the boy and reunite with him, used her power and returned to her home world.
