Zenobia Coleus ｢ゼノビア・コリウス, zenobia koriusu｣ is a princess of the Kingdom of Coleus and features in the side story Visions of Coleus.
Appearance[]
Zenobia is a young girl with blue eyes, pale skin, and golden blonde hair. Due to being bedridden for years, her growth got halted, giving her an appearance no different from that of an elementary schoolgirl. Before receiving treatment from Rimuru and being cured of her blindness, she used to keep her eyes closed most of the time.
Personality[]
Zenobia has been described as a lovely girl by Rimuru, projecting a fairy-like presence which he noted to be ironically missing within Ramiris. She is quite inquisitive, immediately taking an interest in trying out Honey after receiving enthusiastic praise from her attendant. As a way to cope with her blindness, she acquired the Unique skill Wisher, allowing her to become a strong judge of character.
Background[]
Three years before the events of Visions of Coleus, Zenobia fell victim to a conspiracy plotted by her father who utilized a duo of powerful Archdaemons named Gustav and Karl as his agents. The daemons coveted Zenobia as a vessel offering to their God and inflicted her with a curse that would gradually deteriorate her health and cause her to spend the next several years blind and bedridden.
Story[]
Rimuru came to visit her while providing her with medicine to cure her illness. Later, under the disguise of the Great Phantom Thief Satoru, Rimuru pretends to kidnap her and bring her to her brothers to expose Gustav and Karl's scheme. During the battle against Gustav and Karl, with the Demon Lord Luminous Valentine also getting involved, the daemons eventually succeeded in implanting their God, revealed to be the Primordial Violet, inside of Zenobia, but she isn't satisfied because Zenobia isn't a suitable vessel for her yet and Luminous, whom she cannot eliminate, knows the truth behind their plans, leading her to kill the daemons for their screw up before leaving Zenobia's body. After Zenobia recovers, she learns that Satoru and Rimuru are both the same person, and she and her brothers reveal that their father was the true mastermind behind the ordeal, but he was found dead (having been murdered by Luminous for helping Violet with her scheme) before he can be apprehended. Sometime after Rimuru left, she learns about Falmuth's defeat and Rimuru's evolution to Demon Lord.
Sometime later, she took part in Tempest's festival and is among the audience watching the marital arts tournament.
Trivia[]
- Zenobia shares a similar role to Towa; both intended to serve as vessels to incarnate Violet.
- The only difference is that Towa did not become a vessel after Violet's subordinate disobeyed her orders to not interfere with the plot, which messed up her fun and foiled her attempt to take Towa as a vessel. Zenobia on the other hand, was only a temporally vessel, as Violet abandoned it because it wasn't suitable for her yet and there was a witness that she cannot defeat.
