Description
Beelzebub holds the position of First Minister of Agriculture in the Demon Kingdom and bears the title Lord of the Flies. Originating from rural roots as a greengrocer’s daughter, she spoke with a strong country accent in her youth. Upon reaching 1,000 years old, she entered the Ministry of Agriculture as a low-ranking civil servant, deliberately refusing promotions for over 1,500 years to maintain an unassuming existence. Her diligence eventually caught Demon King Provat Pecora Allières’s attention, leading to her ministerial appointment. This elevation compelled Beelzebub to adopt formal speech and aristocratic mannerisms to secure subordinates’ respect.
Visually striking, she manifests as an exceptionally beautiful demon with olive skin, long wavy purple hair (rendered silver in anime adaptations), and vivid purple eyes. Her demonic traits include horns, a tail, and fly-like wings, alongside the ability to transform into a housefly. She dresses in a blend of opulence and simplicity: a wine-purple corset, high-slit black miniskirt, thigh-high stockings, armored greaves, and a black cape lined in wine-red, often tucking a fan into her attire.
Beneath her stern exterior lies a fundamentally kind, pragmatic, and industrious nature. Though she frequently demands compensation for aid—such as chances to pamper Azusa Aizawa’s daughters Falfa and Shalsha—her motivations often stem from authentic concern. Professionally, she exhibits fierce concentration and efficiency, expecting equal dedication from her subordinates, the Leviathan sisters Fatla and Vania; she routinely chastises Vania for distractibility. Personal quirks include consuming near-spoiled fruit (reflecting her greengrocer heritage) and savoring spicy cuisine and hot springs.
Her narrative prominence begins when she collapses after overindulging in Halkara’s Nutri-Spirit tonic, sparking false rumors of the drink poisoning demons. This misunderstanding drives Halkara to flee to Azusa’s highland refuge. Beelzebub pursues her by posting wanted notices and infiltrating the cottage as a fly, unaware of Azusa’s demon-repelling barrier. The barrier nearly kills her until Azusa and Halkara provide healing. The confrontation resolves when Beelzebub clarifies she merely sought a reliable Nutri-Spirit supply, leading to reconciliation and repeated visits to Azusa’s home.
As minister, she inhabits a three-story mansion but uses only the ground floor, leaving upper levels derelict and overgrown; her neglected garden inadvertently becomes a haven for Sandra the mandrake. Post-promotion, she trained rigorously, developing formidable combat skills and mastering demon-specific magic—including summoning techniques taught to Azusa. Azusa’s frequent mispronunciations hilariously summon Beelzebub into situations like cold baths or tree branches. Despite her power, she repeatedly duels Azusa, consistently defeated by her peerless strength.
She shares a sisterly bond with Azusa, considering her dependable. Beelzebub harbors deep affection for Falfa, Shalsha, and Sandra, occasionally attempting to claim them as daughters—gently discouraged by Azusa. Professional ties bind her to colleagues like Demon King Pecora, while historical links include sparring with Laika during their youth.
Her evolution involves adapting to nobility while preserving core humility and work ethic. As a dedicated civil servant elevated through perseverance, she balances ministerial responsibilities with personal growth. Her bureaucratic journey extends into the spin-off novel *I Was a Minor Official for 1,500 Years, Then I Became a Minister*.
