OVA
Description
Ryū Lyon is an elf possessing sky blue eyes and hair originally golden-blonde. Colleagues at the Hostess of Fertility dyed it green, though it reverted to its original color and length after the War Game against Freya Familia. Her snow-white skin contributes to her fairy-like appearance. As a waitress, she wears a green maid outfit with a white frilled headband, a matching apron, and brown boots over black leggings. Her adventurer attire includes a green flower-shaped hood, a white sleeveless top, green bloomers or shorts, long brown gloves, boots, and a white sash for her weapons. A green mask covering her nose and mouth conceals her identity.
Calm and stoic, Ryū holds a strong sense of justice and deeply cares for her friends. She maintains a serious tone but softens around trusted individuals. Her youthful idealism about saving everyone contrasted with peers like Kaguya. Following Alise's advice, she observes Bell Cranel closely and avoids rejecting physical contact from those who earn her trust, unlike many elves. She lacks the typical elven hatred toward the Crozzo family, as her village was unaffected by the historical forest destruction.
Hailing from Ryumilua Forest, her family tended the sacred tree. Disillusioned by fellow elves' behavior toward other races, which led her to deem elves "the ugliest of all people," she departed for Orario. There, she joined the Astraea Familia under the alias "Gale," hiding her full name. She progressed rapidly as an adventurer, ranking up to Level 4 within one to 1.5 years per level due to combat experience and clashes with Evilus.
The Astraea Familia was nearly annihilated in a Dungeon trap set by Rudra Familia, which spawned a Juggernaut that killed all members except Ryū and Jura. Consumed by vengeance, she persuaded Goddess Astraea to leave Orario and single-handedly destroyed Rudra Familia and Evilus affiliates through assassinations and traps, branding her a fugitive. After fulfilling her revenge, she collapsed in an alley and was rescued by Syr Flover and Mia Grand, who nursed her back to health.
Retiring from adventuring, Ryū worked as a waitress at the Hostess of Fertility for five years. There, she formed bonds with colleagues like Syr; Mia Grand declared Ryū her "daughter" under her protection. She occasionally aided Bell Cranel and Hestia Familia for Syr's sake. A pivotal development occurred during a survival journey with Bell on the Dungeon's 37th Floor, facing monsters and a Juggernaut. This experience solidified her feelings for Bell, shifting her address from "Cranel-san" to his first name.
Reuniting with Astraea before the Freya Familia War Game, Ryū updated her falna and achieved a historic double rank-up from Level 4 to Level 6, attributed to accumulated experience over five years. She rejoined Astraea Familia under the registered name Ryū Astraea and became a formal member of Hestia Familia.
As a Level 6 adventurer, Ryū exhibits exceptional physical prowess. Her strength, amplified by the skill Mind Load, allows her to challenge high-Level opponents like Hogni. Her speed and agility enable her to create after-images and outpace adversaries imperceptible to non-first-class adventurers. She demonstrates high durability, surviving attacks from entities like the beastified Ottar (Level 8 equivalent) and enduring four days on the 37th Floor with injuries including a broken leg and acid burns.
A skilled magic swordswoman, Ryū employs concurrent chanting—casting spells while fighting—with mastery noted as surpassing Riveria Ljos Alf. Her primary offensive magic, Luminous Wind, summons green dust attacks. She also uses Noah Heal for gradual wound recovery. Combat techniques include Tachi sword styles learned from Kaguya (though less perfected) and ambidextrous dual-wielding with Kodachi Futaba. Her developmental abilities include Hunter (improving effectiveness against previously fought monsters), Abnormal Resistance, and Magic Resistance.
In the film Arrow of the Orion, Ryū assists Hermes Familia in battling monsters outside Orario, reinforcing her role as a reliable ally in crises.
