Elizabeth Lyonesse

Appearance

Elizabeth is a beautiful young woman with a slender yet curvaceous figure with a big bust and regular height. She has very pale skin, large light blue eyes which can turn orange while gaining a triskele (though initially it only was her right eye), and long silver hair reaching her waist. Her bangs firstly covered her right eye but later stopped, later ending with a similar hairstyle to her original incarnation after being sliced across the forehead by one of Chandler’s Split Tama. Elizabeth wanted the poster’s image is very accurate since she had been in the kingdom very recently.

Elizabeth always wears a blue earring with the symbol of the Liones royal family, compromising of the sun, the moon, and stars.

At the start, Elizabeth wore a set of old rusted armor several sizes larger than her and a black, skintight jumpsuit underneath.

As a waitress in Boar Hat, Elizabeth wears a pink buttoned shirt with a black ribbon and a midriff exposing her belly button, a dark mini skirt, strapped with a pink (orange in the anime) belt, a black stocking on her left leg, and black-white heels.

During the attack of the Albion and the visit to Ishtar, Elizabeth wore a maid outfit similar to the maids in Liones castle.

During the Great Fight Festival, Elizabeth wore a purple (blue in the anime) short dress, silver armor from the Druids covered with golden designs, and short white boots.

She later changed her outfit to an open-backed blue (navy blue in the anime) button-up shirt with a white (pink in the anime) necktie, a short white skirt with slits and a belt, and a long black stocking on her right leg with black heels.

During the New Holy War, she wears a white dress, covered by a short pink coat, and fluffy white and pink winter boots, all made by Merlin.

Personality

Elizabeth is a very polite, grateful and caring individual who prefers a rather peaceful, diplomatic approach, even during the war. She often shows a calm yet incredibly warm attitude towards others, helping them as much as she can and offering home to strangers. Despite there being several bad rumors about them, Elizabeth shows a lot of respect and trust towards the Seven Deadly Sins, even addressing them with the titles ‘lord’ and ‘lady’ at first. She is very open and tends to cooperate with others quite well, all in order to surpass their goals and return to their beloved ones.

Elizabeth is very fragile, being easily injured by two of Ruin’s attacks. Despite this, Elizabeth has shown to be very brave and courageous. Her selflessness and bravery are seen when recklessly tried to rescue a child from Storm Rondo, which earned her respect from the Deadly Sins. More often than not, her determination acts as an inspiration to others. She is also optimistic as she believed that everything would be alright during the battle in Vaizel. Furthermore, Elizabeth has become very strong-willed prior to Dana’s case, even remaining determined to stop the Holy Knights despite Veronica’s apparent death and only cried when alone to not let others see her tears and running the Boar Hat with the same as Meliodas when he died despite being devasted and hoped one day he would come back.

Elizabeth initially had relatively low self-esteem and self-doubt, often feeling insecure about being powerless and not being useful to her friends in battle. After Liones was set free and Meliodas didn’t want her to continue to travel with him for her own safety, she grew more determined to become stronger and unlock her hidden powers in order to help everyone and no longer be useless, automatically willing to go through with doing so the moment Merlin points it out. After departing from Ishtar, she vows to be more confident in herself and never complain about her flaws again. Since then, she has become less timid, more independent, more assertive, and more than willing to help her friends in any way she currently can. After fully regaining her previous memories and unlocking all her powers, Elizabeth becomes more than willing to directly participate in battle.

Elizabeth initially tended to stress out and obsess over her struggles as a Boar Hat waitress. As she was learning the ropes, Elizabeth did this so much that she failed to see most customers enjoying her company and not caring one bit about her screwing up. As her confidence grew, however, Elizabeth started to notice the unconditionally satisfied customers, stopped worrying about failing, and instead started focusing on doing her best.

Despite being a princess, Elizabeth is not so graceful, usually comically falling down during her duties as a waitress, still retaining some of her antics even after her memory recovery. Elizabeth also has a timid and shy side, which is shown whenever her voice starts to tremble. According to Diane, Elizabeth is very apologetic, saying sorry to her friends on more than one occasion and sometimes acting stressed out whenever she apologizes. She also is fairly gullible and honest, always being tricked by Meliodas’ antics and responding rather innocent or literal to jokes in general. She also displays naivety when she wanders in the Bandits’ Hideout thinking that the bandits can help her obtain ingredients without even knowing their true colors.[7]Elizabeth is often harassed by Meliodas but doesn’t mind it after hearing his poor excuses, eventually growing more casual with his perverted antics and blushing less. She immediately becoming bashful when someone like Gowther talks about her romantic feelings for Meliodas though, which is possibly feeling a hidden key to her past lives as his deceased lovers. When Meliodas came back from death, she allows him to grope her as much as he wants, showing how much she missed him and how she got used to him.

Elizabeth can react in different ways around people depending on how they behave. For example, she can feel nervous or uncomfortable around anyone stressing out, acting undignified, or invading her own personal space. An example of this is shown when King gets too close to Elizabeth while apologizing for not having manners in front of a princess. Elizabeth also gets easily scared, intimidated, or stressed out by anyone expressing anger towards her or let alone using a mad tone of voice with her around.

After recovering the memories of her past lives, Elizabeth’s personality became a mixture between the original Goddess and the princess of Liones. She is much more mature and determined. Her feelings for her loved ones are maintained, especially her love for Meliodas, wishing above all things to prevent him from becoming the Demon King even if this means that her curse will kill her again. The wishes of her original incarnation to avoid conflicts and achieve peace with the Demon Clan are shown in how she seeks to negotiate with the demon army instead of fighting it and even protecting one of the Ten Commandments.

As a child, Elizabeth was a bit rebellious, often doing dangerous things to get her father’s attention since she was not his biological daughter. She eventually grew curious about the mentions of other Elizabeths that were linked to Meliodas and confronted him, but was lied to the point of crying in anger. After eventually finding out the truth from Zeldris, Elizabeth was happy and relieved, even after remembering the curse. She also retains strong attachments to her current life’s friends and family, keeping her feelings towards Meliodas as strong as ever.

Origin

Very little is known of Elizabeth’s childhood or what led up to her being adopted by Liones’s king. As a child, she was often seen playing with soon-to-be Holy Knights and her two adopted sisters. After the Holy Knights staged a coup and overthrew the kingdom she escaped the castle in rusting armor in search of the Seven Deadly Sins believing they were the only ones that could match the Holy Knights’ strength and defeat them. Appearance She has long silver hair and blue eyes though her left eye is usually obscured by her hair. She always wears a blue earring given to her by her sister with the symbol of the royal family of Liones on it. When Elizabeth first appeared she was still wandering around in rusted armor that was several sizes bigger than her.

Later when she joined the Boar Hat bar she started wearing the waitress uniform which is a purple buttoned shirt with a black ribbon, and a black mini skirt strapped with a pink belt. Personality Elizabeth is very kind, caring and grateful. At first she appeared to fulfill the role of damsel in distress appearing to be fragile and frail. Later this is proven wrong she is very brave and courageous even going as far as giving herself to a Holy Knight in order to protect a random citizen from being executed. She is often seen being fondled by Meliodas touching her very inappropriately and she often doesn’t seem to mind perhaps because she loves him later mentioned by Gowther.

Plot

Elizabeth is first seen when she enters the Boar Hat. She was on the verge of passing out still covered in rusting armor, and muttering, “the Seven Deadly Sins”. Due to the rumor of a infamous “Rust Knight” being a Sin it causes the customers to flee. She is then confronted by the bar owner Meliodas, though she collapses and is revealed to be a female. Shortly after she awakens and is questioned by Meliodas as to why she is traveling. She tells him that she is searching for the Seven Deadly Sins. After escaping from knights that were beaten up by Meliodas and Hawk she continues explaining as to why she is searching for the Seven Deadly Sins. She wants them to help her defeat the Holy Knights after they took over the kingdom. Immediately after they are once again attacked and Elizabeth is saved by Meliodas and reveals his name and identity as the Dragon’s Sin of Wrath the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins. He then offers to help her find the others. She is later officially hired as a waitress for the bar and is given new attire.

After she travels with Meliodas to a town called Bernia popular for its ale made from its river. Upon arriving they find a crowd of men trying to remove a sword that was put in the ground by a Holy Knight to stop the water flow so no more ale could be made. Later Meliodas easily removes the Holy Knight, Gilthunder’s sword causing the villagers to celebrate at the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth is finally attempting to be a proper waitress. After making several mistakes she runs outside the bar crying where she sees Meliodas and he encourages her to carry on just then he saves her and the town from Gilthunder’s spear and throws it back at him. The two then decide that it is best to leave seeing as staying anymore would cause further harm to the people of the town. Near Bernia they are informed of a forest known as the Forest of White Dreams that even Holy Knights are avoiding. Making Meliodas believe another member of the Deadly Sins is hiding out in there. After walking around the forest for more than three hours and getting lost Elizabeth and Meliodas discover three clones on Hawk. After they’re defeated copies of Elizabeth appear and after being tricked are also easily defeated by Meliodas revealing the clones were Prankster Imps, and retreat towards Diane another member of the Seven Deadly Sins.

After a small misunderstanding, Diane joins the group and it is reveled she has a crush on Meliodas. Moments later Hawk spots a giant thundercloud in the sky and a lightning bolt from it binds all of them. Then Gilthunder appears and Elizabeth immediately recognizes him since he was one of the Holy Knights she would play with as a child. She then quickly realizes he is a changed man and not the friend he use to be. After Hawk is kicked by Gilthunder Elizabeth runs after the pig to help him. After Gilthunder is thrown out of the forest by Diane, Meliodas decides the next destination is the Baste Dungeon where Ban is imprisoned. Elizabeth objects taking note of Meliodas grave wound he received from Gilthunder he then reassures he it isn’t that serious before passing out. Elizabeth, Diane, and Hawk then travel to Baste Dungeon called Dalmary, to have Meliodas treated. While Meliodas is being treated Diane announces that she will be traveling to the dungeon by herself. Elizabeth asks to accompany her by is quickly shot down by Diane saying that she would only be a hindrance in which Elizabeth says she wants to be of some use. The argument is abruptly ended when Hawk notices a huge swarm of insects flying towards the town. Diane easily annihilates the bugs and Elizabeth is shocked at how powerful she is. Diane gives the responsibility of watching Meliodas to Elizabeth and heads towards the dungeon. While Elizabeth and Hawk watch over Meliodas a voice commends Dana the doctor for his hard work.

To the shock of both Dana tells them he made Meliodas drink deadly poison instead of medicine. Another Holy Knight named Golgius then appers behind Elizabeth stating he was the voice that thanked the doctor. He then says he has come to take Elizabeth and Meliodas’ sword, and grabs the weapon. Right after it is revealed that Meliodas is still alive but his eyes are pure black and has a strange mark on his forehead. The powerful aurora Meliodas was giving off caused Golgius to flee. Meliodas then returns to his normal self and it is shown that his wound mysteriously healed. The three then go after Golgius and find him. Dana is stabbed by Golgius and Elizabeth mourns the doctor. The three then enter a abandoned building and Elizabeth watches as Golgius falls for Meliodas’ trap.

Relationships

Seven Deadly Sins

Meliodas

Elizabeth appears to show great respect and trust towards Meliodas, calling him with the honorific, “Lord”, and also cares greatly about him and worries about his health and injuries continuously. Throughout her journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas acts as a mentor and a role model for Elizabeth, often cheering her up whenever she felt powerless or doubted herself, though she doesn’t care about him harassing her, such as being groped, to an extent. Elizabeth has resolved to believe in Meliodas, no matter how he thinks of her or what others say bad stuff about him. Since Vaizel, Elizabeth started to blush whether Meliodas said something caring about her, hinting she might be growing feelings for him. It was pointed out by Gowther that Elizabeth has fallen in love with Meliodas, to her embarrassment. After Meliodas accepted Arthur’s offer to become a Great Holy Knight in the Kingdom of Camelot, Elizabeth was immediately distressed and heartbroken, realizing that Meliodas may leave her in the future. Elizabeth revealed to Diane that she does love Meliodas since the day they first met. However, Elizabeth has a hard time telling him how she feels, as she knows that Meliodas is possibly still in love with Liz.

Despite Meliodas’ recent distant nature towards her, Elizabeth grew upset, but still, understand he is doing this to protect her, but didn’t change her mind to be by Meliodas’ side and to help him and the others. This, however, changes as Meliodas started to be more accepting of Elizabeth once more after she helped him over his trial to regain his strength and soon returned to groping her. Elizabeth was soon devasted over the death of Meliodas but continued to run the bar to honor his death. Elizabeth kept Meliodas’s unconscious body in their bed to care for him, even healing his wounds and restoring his arm. It was soon revealed that Elizabeth survived the destruction of Danafor due to Meliodas and was promoted to a Holy Knight of Liones to watch over her. During her time growing up she was very attached to Meliodas, possibly had a crush on him as a toddler, missing him when he went on missions and kissing him on the cheeks. This improved their relationship and Elizabeth is extremely grateful to Meliodas for saving her. She showed no concern or fear when Meliodas expresses his desire to not go back to being the one he used to be and does not hesitate to comfort Meliodas, saying that she will always be with him.

However, when Diane revealed the existence of a goddess who looked just like her, Elizabeth starts questioning Meliodas about it, suspecting that he cared for her so much because she looked like her. Elizabeth was uncomfortable when asking Meliodas on it and Meliodas himself clearly fears the answer, even lying to her, much to her disappointment. However, Zeldris quickly reveals this when they met and Elizabeth learns that Meliodas does love her, but she is causing him to suffer too. Elizabeth desperately tries to remember, and when Zeldris restores her precious memories, as well as her goddess powers that are fully restored. However, her curse is once again activated as a result, which leads to Meliodas becoming more determined than ever to break their curses, leading to the loss of his emotions towards her and his friends. This along with his decision to become the next Demon King to break their curses, has put a serious strain on their relationship. Yet despite all of this, Elizabeth still loves Meliodas deeply, and is greatly determined to do whatever is necessary to stop him from doing all of this, even if it means falling victim to her own curse in the process of saving him. After finding out about Meliodas’ and her history she still chooses to love him but repeatedly tries to convince him not to become the Demon King just to save her. She, again and again, tries to protect Meliodas and eventually after defeating the Demon King and Cath she marries Meliodas and has their child Tristan.

Diane

Initially, Diane rather disliked Elizabeth despite the princess showing a great deal of respect for her, and addressing her with the honorific, “Lady”. When they first met, Elizabeth felt intimidated by Diane’s size and got scared of her whenever she would express suspicion or anger towards her. Elizabeth has once said that she envies Diane’s abilities to fight, and tries to support her when the Deadly Sin battles Friesia. After she selflessly attempts to save a child even though she knew it could cost her life, Diane appears to start acknowledging her, resulting in them becoming closer companions, even stating that she doesn’t mind fighting for her. The two become friends and trust each other with their feelings, shown when Diane expresses her regret towards King and when Elizabeth confides in her feelings for Meliodas, although Elizabeth can still get scared of Diane whenever she gets angry. After learning of her and Meliodas’ curses, Diane’s loyalty and protectiveness of Elizabeth as her friend only grew.

Ban

Elizabeth and Ban seem to share a good relationship. Ban shows some form of care for her, when he took Veronica hostage to free Meliodas and Elizabeth, and taking her away from the rage Diane fighting against Helbram, possible due to Meliodas caring for her. However, Elizabeth and Ban don’t talk to each other very often as Elizabeth tends to feel intimidated by him.

Despite all of this, Ban did show genuine concern and shock for both her and Meliodas after finding out about their curses and past, and was even impressed with Elizabeth’s newfound powers and her ability to heal him from Melascula’s poisonous acid, when his own immortal healing abilities were barely working against it.

King

Elizabeth and King share a good friendship, with King respecting her for being a princess and her bravery for trying to fight Guila. King worries about her well-being, and Elizabeth responding by calling him with the honorifics of “Lord”. After learning of her and Meliodas’ curses, just like Diane, King’s protectiveness of her grew.

Gowther

Elizabeth and Gowther share a good friendship, though she was upset when Gowther erased Guila and Diane’s memories. After Gowther’s memories and emotions returned, she was happy for Gowther, and in turn Gowther’s friendliness towards her became more genuine, as well as his desire to help and protect her. After learning of her and Meliodas’ past and curses, Gowther has become determined to help the two of them in any way he can.

Merlin

Elizabeth and Merlin have a fairly good relationship, due to Merlin saving Elizabeth’s father’s life and the princess shows respect towards the mage like towards any other member of the Deadly Sins. After Meliodas revealed his past and the secret of his and Elizabeth’s curse, as well as Elizabeth regaining the memories of her previous incarnations, Merlin’s relationship with Elizabeth has visibly become only stronger. Merlin now shows the same level of care and concern for her as she had for the original Elizabeth. During the aftermath of the fight with Melascula, the two exchanged warm pleasantries with one another, and Merlin even referred to her as “Big Sis Sis”, as she used to do with the original goddess Elizabeth, with Elizabeth also now showing Merlin the same big sister-like care and friendliness that her original incarnation did.

Escanor

Escanor is the last of the sins to have met Elizabeth, meeting her shortly during the Great Fighting Festival in Vaizel, then being properly introduced to her after Meliodas’ revival and the complete reunion of all seven Sins. Since then, the two have become quick friends with one another, with their friendship and trust in one another being surprisingly strong. Even after the revelation of her and Meliodas’ past, the activation of both of their curses, and even after watching him fight to suppress Meliodas’ Assault Mode, the two seem to be on good terms with one another, enough that Escanor is willing to fight to save her and Meliodas both from their respective curses.

Family

Bartra Liones

Elizabeth, though not being related by blood, loves him and cares about her father very much. Her love is equally returned by him, which is seen when he risked his life to climb a tree in order to save Elizabeth, something which he had never done before.

After Elizabeth explained her and Meliodas’ curse to her father he started to cry, saying that no one should have to suffer for their love. Elizabeth states she might have not been the model daughter but for the remaining days until her curse activates she wants to be his little girl.

Margaret Liones

Elizabeth loves her adopted sister very much and admires her for her kindness and gentleness. Margaret gave Elizabeth an earring as a gift in the past.

However, Elizabeth is dismayed by Veronica’s supporting the Holy Knights, and Veronica, by Elizabeth’s supporting of the Seven Deadly Sins, whom she considers to be villains who are using Elizabeth. Despite the event happening, Elizabeth still shows that she loves her sister and was even mourning over her death when she saved her.

Tristan

After defeating the Demon King and Cath, Meliodas and Elizabeth get married and have a child named Tristan. He is shown as easily tricked by surrounding people when for his tenth birthday Meliodas lies to him that the Seven Deadly Sins are going to take over Liones but calms down after Elizabeth gives him reassurance that it was a practical joke to enhance his surprise.

Boar Hat

Hawk

Elizabeth seems to love talking pigs and adores Hawk as a pet. As Hawk likes and respects Elizabeth and is willing to protect her from any sort of threat, she appears to treasure Hawk very much as a companion and trusts in him. Elizabeth and Hawk get along great and tend to partner up for certain “missions” and lets Elizabeth ride on his back when they need to get out of a jam. When Hawk was “killed” by Hendrickson, Elizabeth’s grief allowed her to summon her hidden powers.

Hawk Mama

Elizabeth and Hawk Mama seem to be on good terms with each other, as she apologizes to Hawk Mama for making her house sit for so long because of her injuries after departing from Dalmary town. Elizabeth talks to Hawk Mama sometimes, thanking her or concerning for her.

Elaine

Since Elaine was watching over Ban through the Capital of The Dead, she soon learned of Meliodas and Elizabeth. Elaine took a liking to Elizabeth because of her kind personality and when the two finally meet, they automatically become friends and battle partners during the Festival. They develop a respect for each other and even talk about their respective love interests, with Elaine admitting she finds Elizabeth something special. The two helped each other in battle after Elizabeth reawakened as a goddess.

Holy Knights

Gilthunder

When she was younger, Elizabeth saw Gilthunder as a big brother while growing up, but was displeased when Gilthunder grew into a ‘cruel’ Holy Knight. After the events with Hendrickson, Elizabeth’s relationship with Gilthunder has gone back to normal as she finds out the truth of his cruel nature.

Griamore

Elizabeth didn’t encounter Griamore much during her childhood as Griamore only cared for her sister, Veronica. But Elizabeth seems to trust him to take Veronica’s dead body to the lake they used to play at.

Howzer

Golgius

Though he attempted to stab her in Dalmary Town, Elizabeth admittedly doesn’t hold any grudges against Golgius. She even nurses him back to health and offers him soup.

Goddess Clan

Mael

At first, Elizabeth is hostile towards Estarossa for attacking Derieri and supposedly supporting Meliodas to become the Demon King. However, by remembering his lonely past as well as seeing his painful feelings for her and Meliodas, Elizabeth shows some compassion for him, even asking for help to stop Meliodas.

After discovering the truth that Estarossa is Mael, Elizabeth is very sad for what the latter suffers, praying for a way to save his heart from the darkness. When Mael manages to get rid of the influence of the Commandments and returns to who he was before, Elizabeth is extremely happy.

Ludociel

Elizabeth has a tense relationship with Ludociel, due to the ideological conflict of the Archangel with her original incarnation. However, both manage to make peace at the end of the Holy War.

Elizabeth has a good relationship of trust with Sariel and Tarmiel, due to the proximity of the Archangels with her original incarnation.

Tarmiel

Elizabeth has a good relationship of trust with Sariel and Tarmiel, due to the proximity of the Archangels with her original incarnation.

Zaneri

Zaneri initially saw Elizabeth as a nuisance who “held everyone back” and was somewhat jealous of her being in love with Meliodas and didn’t want competition. Despite Zaneri’s rather rude treatment of Elizabeth, she appreciated her help with training and the new clothes even without ever knowing that she sabotaged her trial.

Demon Clan

Derieri

Derieri has a strong animosity towards Elizabeth due to the involvement of her original incarnation in her sister’s killing, to the point of attempting to kill her on sight. However, after being defeated by Meliodas, Derieri finally admits that Elizabeth saved them back then and is actually good. She starts to trust Elizabeth after Monspeet’s death, as Derieri turn up to her when she had no one and nowhere to go. She seems to be on good terms with her now, to the point of risking her life to save her from Estarossa. Derieri even promises to Elizabeth to save Mael for her sake, despite the fact he was the one who killed Monspeet. Elizabeth’s kindness influenced her into becoming less belligerent. In her last moments, Derieri thanked Elizabeth for all that she had done.

Zeldris

Despite Zeldris being the one who awoken her memories and activated her curse, she still wishes to help him when his body is taken over by the Demon King, claiming she is his family too being Meliodas’ brother. She is willing to risk her life, despite knowing her curse is active, to help Meliodas save him and showed distraught upon feeling his aura vanish as well as relief after being freed from the Demon King’s grasp from Ban.

Vampire Clan

Gelda

Despite never having never met Gelda until Meliodas freed her, she was aware of her and Zeldris’ relationship from Meliodas and empathized with her as she too understood how painful it was, not being able to be with the one she loved. She was visuablly distraught and horrified when she was believed to have been killed by the Demon King and shared in relief after saving Zeldris and defeating the Demon King for good.
