Description
Cleao Everlasting is a central female character in the second season of the anime Orphen: The Revenge. She is a teenage girl of seventeen years, recognized by her fair skin, long blonde hair, and pale blue eyes, with distinctive twirled locks of hair on each side of her head. Standing at 155 centimeters tall, she comes from the wealthy and noble Everlasting family based in the city of Totokanta. Despite her sheltered upbringing as an aristocrat, Cleao possesses an adventurous spirit and a deep yearning to experience the world beyond her privileged but confining home life. She is outgoing and becomes excited in the face of danger, actively seeking the thrill of adventure and combat.
In terms of personality, Cleao often comes across as bratty, stubborn, and emotional, rarely willing to admit when she is wrong, which leads to frequent and spirited clashes with the protagonist, Orphen. She enjoys teasing others and is confident in her own abilities, yet this outward confidence masks a deeper vulnerability. As the only member of the main traveling group who is not a sorcerer, she struggles with insecurity and a fear of being seen as a useless burden. A significant part of her personal motivation is to prove herself as a reliable and capable partner to Orphen, desiring his respect and trust even though he often treats her as a child who needs protection. Her presence serves as a grounding moral force for Orphen, helping to temper his more extreme impulses and keep him connected to his humanity during his quest.
Cleao's role in the story is that of a determined companion who insists on joining Orphen and his apprentice Majic on their journey. Initially, her inclusion is justified by her ownership of the Sword of Baltanders, a powerful artifact that Orphen requires, but her reasons quickly evolve into a genuine desire for adventure and contribution. Her key relationships define her development. Her dynamic with Orphen is a central focus, beginning with constant bickering but gradually evolving into a bond of deep mutual respect and trust. She also shares a close friendship with Majic, whom she uses as an unwitting test subject for pranks intended for Orphen and whose clothes she famously alters and claims as her own. A pivotal relationship forms when she encounters a young Deep Dragon cub, which she names Leki. After protecting him during a conflict with his mother, Leki becomes her constant and loyal companion. Through Leki, Cleao’s latent and uncanny magical capacity begins to manifest, as she unconsciously channels her power through the creature as a medium.
Throughout the series, Cleao undergoes significant development. She starts as a sheltered noble but quickly reveals genuine bravery and kindness in the face of real danger. Her journey is one of self-discovery as she confronts her feelings of inadequacy. A notable example of her growth is her destruction of a celestial doll to free a woman named Mädchen from mind control, an act that earns Mädchen’s lifelong loyalty. While not a sorcerer, Cleao is far from helpless. Her notable abilities include incredible athleticism and skill as a fencer, honed in a school war club, which allows her to hold her own in combat against trained fighters and even topple a golem with a single kick. She primarily wields the Sword of Baltanders as her weapon of choice. Her most unique ability, however, is the empathetic and telepathic link she shares with the Deep Dragon Leki, a bond that unlocks her magical potential and proves vital in combat, allowing her to evolve from a sword-wielding noble into a partner with her own unique mystical capabilities.
