Movie
Description
Neia Baraja is a human citizen of the Roble Holy Kingdom, the daughter of Pavel Baraja, one of the renowned Nine Colors. She begins as a squire in the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army, serving the Paladin Order. From childhood, she has possessed a naturally fierce and intimidating gaze inherited from her father, a trait that has led to misunderstanding and social isolation among her peers. Consequently, she has developed a personality that leans toward self-reliance and earnest diligence, though she remains socially awkward and struggles to form close relationships. She is gentle and fragile at heart, according to her father, but possesses a strong sense of duty and responsibility.
Her primary skill is archery, particularly with a longbow, at which she demonstrates pinpoint accuracy. She also has a tactical mindset nurtured by her father’s training, allowing her to command small forces effectively. Despite her strengths, she is still developing her combat experience at the start of the story.
When the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth launches a devastating invasion of the Holy Kingdom, the kingdom is thrown into chaos. Neia is assigned as an adjutant to the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, who arrives under the guise of providing military aid. During the conflict, she witnesses Ainz single-handedly protect Holy Kingdom citizens from overwhelming threats. This experience, combined with her growing disillusionment with the rigid and narrow-minded ideals of the kingdom’s leadership, especially the Paladin Grand Master Remedios Custodio, causes a profound shift in her worldview. She does not see Ainz as an undead monster but as a being who uses immense power to protect the weak, and she comes to believe that his form of justice is the true ideal.
This transformation drives her central role in the story. Neia evolves from a self-doubting squire into a fervent and charismatic evangelist for the Sorcerer King. She becomes the leader of a large religious movement that worships Ainz, with a following of approximately thirty thousand members. She also forges a genuine friendship with the Nazarick combat maid CZ2128 Delta, also known as Shizu, marking one of the first true friendships between a human and a Nazarick NPC. Her relationship with Remedios Custodio becomes strained and ultimately antagonistic, as she grows to despise Remedios’s emotional instability and refusal to accept pragmatic solutions.
Neia remains unaware that the entire Holy Kingdom invasion was orchestrated by Demiurge as a false-flag operation to install Ainz as a savior; her faith is genuine and born from her own experiences. Her development is most pronounced during the Holy Kingdom arc, where her values change so significantly that she is nearly a different person by the end. Her notable abilities include expert archery, tactical leadership, and a natural charisma that emerges as she inspires others to follow the Sorcerer King’s cause.
