Feliss

About
Feliss was originally a 6th Class Devil that was bound by contract with Rance after the events of Rance 03. Ever since meeting the latter, she has been experienced multiple misfortunes left and right, has been forced to work for him as a slave, and was demoted several times in the Devils Hierachy. Due to this, her disposition towards Rance is completely hostile, at least on her mind since she's forced to follow all his commands, and has hated him to the point of expressing happiness towards the idea of his death.

The reason why Feliss became Rance's Devil slave is due to a rule among their society that if a human were to find out a Devil's true name, then they would vow servitude to that human until their death. In Rance 03, Rance managed to find out her name with the help of Rosé Card and a Devil called Da Gale, binding her to him and being forced to provide him assistance even if she doesn't want to. She mainly providing service in the battlefield and in bed, but sometimes also serves as Rance's personal informant over events of the past, providing important information that would otherwise be unknown to him.



After their adventure in Genbu Castle in Rance 5D, Feliss conceived Rance's first child, a devil called Dark Rance (not his real name, but a nickname given by Sill), which has given her a status of a criminal between Devils, since having a son with a human is against the Devil's rules. She was saved by Rance from a horrible punishment and is currently being kept safe in the Rance Castle. While she's affiliated to Rance, he doesn't consider her his slave anymore and is mostly just protecting her from Devils, due to being a fugitive, and Angels, due to being a Devil.

She used to be a member of the Kalar race but due to Soul Pollution caused from negative feelings over many misfortunes she experienced, she ended up becoming a Devil in her Time of Change instead of an Angel. She conserves her Kalar Crystal but she won't die if it's removed, although she's still scared if people touch it. Her crystal is red so it's safe to assume that she was a virgin before becoming a Devil, and Rance noted her lack of experience when they first had sex, which is entirely possible that it was her first time. It is unknown when she became a Devil, but she's been alive since at least the era of the Holy Magic Sect, so she's over 500 years old at least.

Personality and Appearance
Feliss is a former Kalar, meaning she wasn't naturally born from natural copulation between Devils and changed into one during her Time of Change hundreds of years ago. Due to this, she still carries many of the traits of her former race, with a more humanoid appearance more akin to that of a Kalar than the typical Devil, conserving a beautiful female figure, long-pointed ears and the Crystal on her forehead. When she changed into a Devil, her hair turned green, she grew two horns, bat-like wings, a tail and her skin became paler. She also carries a Scythe with her at all times, which she employs in combat.



She's an easily irritable and mostly unfriendly individual, especially with Rance, who she despises since her first encounter with him due to getting demoted for his fault. After being enslaved by him, her hate for him only grew further due to having to put up with him all the time, and going through misfortunate situations all the time. Feliss makes little attempts at hiding her dislike towards her master, and is rather sarcastic or derisive most of the time. Her intense dislike for him mostly leads her to wish for situations in which Rance gets killed so that she can finally be free from him, but Rance's natural talent, combined with his unusual luck, hardly makes this possible. Ever since becoming her slave, she considers her life to be hell and is greatly reluctant while working for him. Feliss is also forced to have sex with Rance whenever he wants, and he likes to tease her since he knows she has to obey all his orders by doing or acting in embarrassing ways. Rance has noted her lack of sexual experience, but really enjoys sex with her, claiming that she has a really tight and enjoyable vagina. Feliss is also notoriously nervous and skittish, and is quite a coward most of the time, but it doesn't help that Rance forces her to go through dangerous and noxious situations. She's also well-known for being very unlucky and with a tendency to fail at most of the things she does, even prior to meeting Rance. She's the type of person that when she manages to make one step forward, fate leads her to go two steps backward.



All this traits mostly apply to her time prior to the events of Rance VI, where Feliss was left with a severe trauma that has shattered her psyche and left her to become really silent and unmotivated, like a broken shell, to the point she doesn't even hate Rance all that much anymore. Rance hasn't had sex with her since and doesn't use her as a slave anymore, simply keeping her under his protection in the Rance Castle while she gradually and slowly recovers over time. Her expression has also changed into a more serious and depressive one in her most chronologically recent appearances, distancing from the previous irked expression she used to boast. She's accompanied by her son, Dark Rance, who she values and loves despite everything. He makes everything in his power to keep his beloved mother away from harm, and despises his father for the all troubles he has brought to her life. The constant suffering and misfortunes Feliss goes through actually helps Dark Rance to become stronger thanks to the Enchanted Sword he wields, Gram, a magical sword that grows in size and power based on the grief in one's heart, allowing to turn his sorrow for his mother into power.

Abilities
Feliss is a relatively strong Devil that managed to reach the 6th rank of the Devils hierarchy. She could definitely give Angel Knights a good fight if she faced such situation but, like most Devils, she mostly relies on hiding between the shadows in the human world. She's a powerful fighter, perfectly capable of defeating a party of mid-tier adventurers in an encounter, but when it comes to high-level opponents like Thoma Lipton she doesn't even consider the idea of fighting.

Like many Devils, her weapon of choice is a Scythe, which she was quite proficient at handling and could use to attack several enemies with one cleave. Being the Scythe a rather complicated and dangerous weapon to wield proves Feliss to be quite talented at fighting, as she's capable of using it in battle with great results. She could also employ magic, mostly relying on the rare element of darkness like most Devils do and she's capable of casting relatively high-level spells like the Devil Beam.



Being a Devil, she's also capable of great feats like flying with her wings, or employing obscure arts of the race to grant her  dealers wishes, although these were pretty limited. She also serves as a great source of information, being around since over 500 years grants her knowledge of the past usually unbeknownst by humans. As Rance's slave, she's also forced to do a lot of things she usually wouldn't want to. Rance usually likes to give good use to her wings, as they come handy in a lot of scenarios, but more often than not fails for one reason or another, and it consumes a lot of her energy to carry other people with her.

Rance 02
Feliss made her appearance after Rance unintentionally summoned her via the Devil Talisman. Believing that Rance summoned her because he wanted something, Feliss offered him three wishes in exchange for his soul. The first wish was to allow Rance to do her, the second was a peach apple needed for current quest, and as for the third, Rance wished that she would not take his soul. Unable to refuse, Feliss disappeared into the darkness while crying.

Rance III
For her failure to take Rance's soul, Feliss was demoted from 6th Class Devil to 9th Class Devil and had her job changed from collecting souls to be a sentry.

During his mission to save Kathtom, Rance found his path blocked by Feliss, whose job is now guarding Devil's Passage. Feliss despised Rance for causing her demotion and made sure that he couldn't pass. Failing to defeat the Devil, Rance and the others decided to retreat to think of another way.

Rance eventually found out from Priestess Rose that a devil would have to swear loyalty to someone who knew their name. With the help of Rose's devil subordinate, Da Gale, Rance managed to find out Feliss' true name and enslaved her.

Rance IV
Feliss was called upon to explain the history behind Ylapu.

Later on, she provided Devil's Nectar, which Rance delivered to the witch Frostvine, who used it to create Athena 2.0.

She saves Rance from consuming Lexington's blood soul.

Rance 5D
During Rance 5D, she becomes pregnant with Rance's child. Usually, it is impossible for a Devil to bear a human's child. However, during the events of Rance 5D, she was trapped within a time-space anomaly where the regular laws of nature do not apply.

Rance VI
For the crimes of bearing Rance's child, Feliss was demoted to an 11th Class Devil. In addition, she was also sentenced to be raped and give birth to other Devils for a thousand years.

She was eventually saved by her child and Rance, however, the torture she experienced left her psyche broken.
