Description
Cleo Everlasting is a primary character and the main female lead in the anime Orphen: The Revenge. She is the youngest daughter of the wealthy and noble Everlasting family, hailing from the city of Totokanta. As a seventeen-year-old, Cleo is a teenage girl with fair skin, long blonde hair, and pale blue eyes, often recognized by the distinctive twirled locks of hair on each side of her head. Despite being sheltered for much of her youth due to a history of illness and her family's overprotectiveness, she grew into a restless spirit who actively rebelled against this confined upbringing. She frequently switched schools and joined a war club where she learned basic sword skills, demonstrating an early desire to see the world beyond her noble status.
Cleo possesses a strong-willed and often bratty personality that creates frequent and entertaining clashes with the protagonist, Orphen. She is carefree, enjoys teasing others, and almost never likes to admit when she is wrong. Despite this combative exterior, she is a deeply brave and kind individual with an unusual and unshakable fascination with sorcery, which she embraces rather than fears due to her family’s connection to the mystical arts. Her primary motivation is to travel the world and leave her sheltered life behind. She insists on joining Orphen on his dangerous journeys, not only for adventure but also to prove her worth and avoid being a burden, as she struggles with the insecurity of being the only non-sorcerer in the group.
Within the story, Cleo acts as a crucial companion to Orphen, serving both as a source of conflict and emotional grounding. While Orphen often treats her as a nuisance, she secretly respects and looks up to him, and her presence proves vital in keeping him tethered to his humanity. Her role evolves from a sheltered heiress to a reliable partner, with one analysis noting that her presence is the key factor that prevents Orphen from succumbing to his rage and losing himself completely. Beyond her dynamic with Orphen, Cleo shares a close bond with Majic, Orphen's apprentice, whom she often uses as a test subject for her pranks. She also adopts a small creature named Leki, a Deep Dragon cub. Leki becomes her steadfast companion; she unconsciously channels her latent magical abilities through him as a medium, and their empathetic link proves pivotal for her development.
Throughout the series, Cleo demonstrates significant personal and skill-based development. Initially perceived as a spoiled and temperamental heiress, she continually proves her courage and determination in the face of danger. Despite her noble upbringing, she is incredibly athletic and becomes a skilled fencer, wielding the Sword of Baltanders as her weapon of choice. Her physical prowess is notable; she has held her own in combat against powerful fighters like Hartia and is even strong enough to topple a golem with a single kick. Later in the narrative, her latent magical capacity is fully unlocked, leading her to train formally to develop her sorcery, ultimately allowing her to contribute as a fighter rather than just a tag-along. Her relationship with Orphen matures from constant bickering into mutual respect, with their partnership ultimately ending in marriage where they later found a school of sorcery together.
