Anghalhad

is a girl Percival meets at Sistana, later appointed as a Holy Knight of Liones and member of the Percival Platoon.

Appearance
Anghalhad is a young girl with long, fluffed pale cyan hair and turquoise eyes. She wears a white frilly dress with a magenta blouse along with socks and heels. She carries a dotted umbrella which hides a rapier in the center.

During the fight against Ironside, Anghalhad had her hair cut and later replaces her dress with a skirt, a shirt and a jacket. Before leaving Liones, Anghalhad receives a new outfit that resembles the one Diane used to wear, consisting of an orange tank top and long socks and gloves.

Personality
Anghalhad is very distrustful of those around her, regardless whether they’re strangers or not due to her ability that allows her to see whether a person is honest or not. She has shown ambition to stand up for herself, desiring to become a Holy Knight herself as to avoid having others take care of problems for her; but also detests being thought of as weak due to her gender as she showed visible anger when she believed Nasiens restraint was due to her being a girl.

She is willing to attack and threaten strangers when she thought Percival's group was working with Ironside to get the final piece of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, as to prevent it from falling into his hands, showing her actions are driven by the belief she was serving the greater good.

Sistana arc
Anghalhad is first shown having an encounter with her father and Ironside about a piece of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. She can only think how Ironside does nothing but lie and that in no way would she want to know his son as he offers, forcing herself to act submissively when her father reproaches her for not paying attention. She later appears in front of Percival's group after they find the piece of the Coffin. She warns them to leave it and to kill them if they intend to give it to "that man".

Although Donny tries to explain that they happened to find it, Anghalhad pulls out her rapier and attacks him, managing to dodge and knock him down quickly. Nasiens says that they have no intention of fighting, but she faces him anyway, managing to overcome him in an exchange of swords. She then demands that Percival give her the piece and to her surprise, the boy kindly gives it to her. By observing the three of them, Anghalhad discovers that Nasiens and Donny have hidden intentions, but Percival is completely sincere. Sin tries to ask what Holy Knight she was referring to, leaving her flabbergasted that a fox can speak.

A maid appears telling Anghalhad that she must return for the dance that is about to begin. Anghalhad rushes to return the Coffin's piece to Percival demanding that he hide it and not let anyone see it, especially Ironside. She then leaves with her maid.

Anghalhad later has an argument with her father insisting that her power lets her know that Ironside is a liar and that she is not a girl but a future Holy Knight. His father slaps her and orders her to stay in her room. However, she bursts into Ironside's speech warning the people of his lies. Ironside attacks her saying that he must discipline her despite her father's cons. Percival then appears and distracts Ironside with his mini-golems to take Anghalhad away, managing to escape Ironside's magical attack. Upon reuniting with the others, they discover that the Coffin's piece was stolen by Ironside's familiar. Upon hearing that the entire town will die if he completes the Coffin ritual, Anghalhad decides to join the group to stop him.

After Percival failed to destroy the Coffin with his mini golems, Ironside attacks everyone with his magical power demanding that he speak to his father like this. Anghalhad stops his thrust by reproaching him for wanting to hurt his own son, to which Ironside replies that she is just a girl pretending to be a Holy Knight. The two exchange swords with Anghalhad finishing with the ruined clothes and Ironside with a scratch because of the dissiness courtesy of the henbane that Nasiens enchanted in Anghalhad's rapier.

Ironside unleashes his Belfest Margot, seriously wounding everyone. Anghalhad is protected by her father, who is recovering from his injuries thanks to Percival's mini golems. Ironside, however, captures Percival. After repelling Anghalhad, Ironside smashes Percival to the ground as he tries to damage the Coffin and plunges his sword into his hand. Ironside begins to beat up Percival and when Anghalhad tries to stop him, he totally intimidates her by warning her to break more than her sword. Ironside finally decides to kill Percival by driving his sword into his heart. Anghalhad tries to give Nasiens's medicine to him by kissing.

Ironside then intends to continue with the Coffin's ritual, when a breeze of magic leaves Percival's body. Anghalhad then confronts him again, with Ironside taking advantage of her and warning him to kill her, though Anghalhad refuses to abandon Percival. Percival's magic multiplies more and more, leading Ironside to use his Ragna Claw. However, a revived Percival saves everyone with his magical power, which is revealed to be the power of Hope.

Seeing the ritual ruined, Ironside shows regret for everything he has done telling Percival that he wants to see his face before being executed for failing in his mission. However, Anghalhad's power shows her that he is lying and all he wants is to finish off Percival. Ironside launches his attacks at him, forcing Percival to fly all over the place to evade them. In that, Donny uses his telekinetic powers to levitate the Coffin away from Ironside, allowing Percival to re-divide it and also cut Ironside's helmet revealing his face. Ironside claims they haven't stopped him as he just has to kill them and reassemble the Coffin and gather more sacrifices from Britannia. However, another Holy Knight, Mortlach, appears stopping him from continuing the fight and reminds him that whoever destroyed the monsters he summoned must be someone as strong as the Seven Deadly Sins, so in the face of such a threat, it is best for them to retreat.

As everyone twists after the hard battle, Anghalhad reproaches Donny for escaping and tells him that they would all be dead if it were not for Percival.

The next day, Anghalhad appears to her father and Percival's group with a new look, saying that after seeing during the fight with Ironside how little experience she was, she decided to go on a trip to become a fine Holy Knight like her mother. Her father says that he can not let her go alone, so Percival happily invites her to join the group.

Cant arc
Along the way, Anghalhad is happy that her path to becoming a Holy Knight has finally started and is annoyed when everyone makes fun of her horse Sylvan. When the group is forced to stop for Sylvan to rest, Anghalhad is ecstatic to learn that they are heading to the kingdom of Liones, producer of the greatest Holy Knights and reigned by Meliodas of the Seven Deadly Sins. When Percival asks about the Sins, Anghalhad tells him that they are legendary knights who saved the kingdom countless times and even defeated the Demon King in the Holy War, then shows him an old wanted poster of Meliodas calling it her greatest treasure, which leads Donny to say that she likes old men. Anghalhad then says that it is time to appoint a leader for the group, pointing to herself as the most suitable by pointing out the flaws of her companions. Sin then shows a map of Britannia to see the next destination that he suggest to be Cant in order to get supplies to cross Dalflare Range. Anghalhad rejects that idea and demands to get to Liones as fast possible, but Sin says that they will die for sure if if they get into the mountain without preparation.

Arriving at Cant, Sin scolds everyone for being distracted and that they should first find a place to stay. Seeing that Anghalhad wasted all the money they had in expensive stuff, Sin angrily yells at her. Anghalhad leaves with Percival to retrieve the money, which they accomplish at a Gore betting center, using Anghalhad's power to uncover those who pretend to be weak to raise the stakes and Percival's strength to beat them all. The two meet Nasiens at a tavern, where Howzer takes away Anghalhad's money saying she is too young to gamble. When Nasiens and Howzer enter a drinking competition, Anghalhad gets so drunk that she passes out and she is captured along with her companions by everyone present who turns out to be a gang of bandits.

After waking up with everyone in a cell, Anghalhad gets angry at Howzer and wonders if he got her drunk to sell her or take advantage of her, getting annoyed when Howzer says he has no interest in little girls like her. When Nasiens explains who Howzer really is, Anghalhad is incredulous that he is a Great Holy Knight even though he is Donny's uncle. After learning about Edlin's past with the bandits and being freed by Taizoo, they discover a hidden baby dragon which is the baby of the dragon that is causing chaos outside. Anghalhad leaves with Percival to find Donny, fleeing with him and Edlin from the dragon. Then everyone watches in amazement as Howzer manages to defeat the dragon. After reuniting the baby dragon with its mother, Anghalhad wonders if it won't attack any more villages, to which Howzer assures him that he will take care of it.

Dalflare Range arc
As the group heads up the mountains, Anghalhad sees how inspired Percival is because of Howzer. Camping for the night, Anghalhad asks Sin why this place is called the Dark Range. Sin tells him that there are stories that spiritual powers there show visions of your future self or possible lovers, to which Anghalhad hopes to see herself as a Holy Knight, although she is scared to hear that there are also tribes of man-eating ogres and dimensional caverns with no escape.

The next day they find a strange town where Sin feels a magical presence.A hunter named Ardd warns them that this place is a dangerous nest of monsters, but not before Percvial, Donny and Sin get into it. Anghalhad and Nasiens learn from Ardd that this village appeared out of nowhere recently and that its residents turn into monsters when they leave it. Hearing that no one who goes in comes back out, Anghalhad insists on going to look for his companions, asking Ardd to tell them how to help them. The three formulate a plan for Anghalhad to destroy the idol in the center of the village while Ardd distracts the villagers so Nasiens can search for his companions. When Nasiens questions Ardd's willingness to help them, Anghalhad confirms that he has not lied. On the way, Anghalhad protests about Percival's impulsiveness and Sin abandoning them.

After destroying the idol, the villagers are revealed to be demons. Anghalhad and Sylvan run away terrified thinking they will be eaten, taking a shock when Percvial, Nasiens and Donny are with one who turns out to be friendly. After seeing that they are all good, Anghalhad asks how Percival can talk to them, which no one knows. As the Elder of the village explains that now the barrier that protects the place is gone, the enemy is able to enter, Ardd suddenly appears revealing himself to be Ardbeg, a Holy Knight of Camelot, and locks up all the demons of the village in an Amber of the Four Archangels, despite the Elder trying to explain that the demons of the village are deserters who refused to fight in the Holy War.

Percival attempts to retrieve the Ambar and free his new friends, and Ardbeg identifies him as one of the Four Knights of Apocalypse and attacks him believing him to be a cursed ally of the demons. Anghalhad ask Ardbeg to stop, but this one tell them to stay out. While Percvial is attacked by Ardbeg's beast, Cernunnos, Anghlahad threatens Ardbeg with her rapier claiming that he does not understand why she did not notice that he was lying to them. Ardbeg claims that he did not lie at any time, since he is a hunter, of demons, and that he sincerely wanted to help their companions because he did not know of Percival's presence. As the two fight, Anghalhad tries to convince him to release the demons, but Ardbeg tells her about the tragedies that the Demon Clan brought to humans during the Holy War.

After Percival and Nasiens defeat Cernunnos, Ardbeg flees to the Crystal Grotto, where he manages to evade Percival's group and have enough time to use his magical power, Reverse, to turn them into babies. When the Elder appears and reveals his identity as Gowther the Goat's Sin of Lust, he asks Ardbeg to stop when he takes Percival and Anghalhad prisoners, but he runs away with them. Gowther catches up to him, asking for them to speak, but Ardbeg threatens to dive into the void if he gets close. Gowther shows him an illusion of his daughter to convince him not to. Although Ardbeg is able to understand that it is false, the joy invades him to see and feel his daughter again. Although Ardbeg and Gowther manage to reach an understanding, an attack from two magic-infused spears alarms Gowther. He is forced to jump to save Percival from one of them, ending up holding onto the edge of the mountain while Ardbeg sacrifices himself to save Anghalhad.

When everyone returns to normal, Anghalhad shudders to see that they are all naked. Wondering what happened to Ardbeg, Gowther offers to explain, leaving them confused as to his identity. Back at the village, Gowther talks to Anghalhad about how after seeing his daughter's illusion, Ardbeg decided not to kill them, return the Amber and flee. However, Anghalhad realizes that there is a lie in his story and asks him to know what it is. Gowther confesses that Ardbeg died, to which she bursts into tears.

Upon leaving the village, Anghalhad is still sad for Ardbeg and ends up breaking the Chaos Staff she keeps from him. When Sin finish of destroying the Chaos Staff, he gets into a discussion with Anghalhad about his recent actions and whether he is really on their side, although they all agree that Sin always helped them in the end. This ultimately leads Anghalhad to gain motivation, to which SIn says that anger is a greater source of strength for humans than depression.

Upon reachin the Entangled Forest, Sin and then Anghalhad suggest to lure their pursuers there but the girl lacks of any idea of how to do it.

Entangled Forest arc
Upon fooling the Dark Talismans using Percival's mini golems to separate them, the group prepare to ambush each one individually since Sin says that they have no chance otherwise. Elgin is the first to be ambushed. He demands to know which of them is Percival, he shows up being blocked by his companions. Determined to eliminate him, Elgin quickly shoves Anghalhad and Nasiens out of the way, sending them tumbling into the void. Elgin threatens Donny telling him to give him ten seconds to run away, but Donny refuses using his magic to float Anghalhad and Nasiens. The four then attack Elgin at the same time with his weapons, although he manages to avoid the damage. Elgin praises Anghalhad's strike, as well as their combo. Saying that they dug his graves when facing him alone in that place, Elgin throws his Epicurean's Slaver and after sticking his sword in the branch that everyone was on, it begins to shatter. Donny manages to use his magic to hold it, but Elgin does great damage to him and Percival with a few small blows. Nasiens notices the debilitating properties of magic from him, Wither.

After Nasiens and Percival defeats Elgin, the group advences trought the forest flying in Percival's aura. However, they are pursued by Doronach and Burgie thanks to their flying horse, Sleipnir. Burgie attacks them with her Wind Sickles and then cuts them off with Sand Wall. As Anghalhad and Donny decide to confront them, Burgie is attacked by the girl who gets upset when she calls her "medling snot". Anghalhad manages to dodge Burgie's elemental attacks and Sin instructs her to dispose of her magic staff first. Finding himself unable to get close enough, Sin causes Donny to levitate Doronach so that the push of his magic pulls Anghalhad towards Burgie and thus snatches her staff from her with a tackle. Burgie then uses her Mirage magic to create copies of her, but Anghalhad is able to see which is the real one thanks to her power and pierces her chest with her rapier. She gets annoyed as Donny says that he don't like cutting people and later mock that he only surpass Doronach because of Sin's advice.

When Fiddich arrives and criticizes the performance of his companions, he declares that he no longer intends to eliminate Percival and the rest without pain, but to give them a painful death and in desperation for humiliating them. Once Elgin joins them, Fiddich uses an Incantation Orb to heal his teammates' injuries with a Hyper Recovery Spell. Losing all hope, Anghalhad laments that her path to Holy Knighthood ended like this, but Sin and Percival manage to raise everyone's morale to continue fighting.

As Fiddich indicates his fellow Talismans to eliminate Sin first, who acts as their commander, he locks the four with Sin in a Perfect Cube so that the others do not interfere. However, this backfired as Sin returned to his true form, revealing himself to be Lancelot, and taking down the Dark Talismans one after another. Seeing who he really is, Anghalhad is reluctant to trust Lancelot and demands to know who he really is and why he disguised himself as a fox. Lancelot uses some arrows to make three graves for the deceased Elgin, Doronach and Burgie, explaining as he buries them that he is a servant of the king of Liones, sent in order to find the potential Four Knights of Apocalypse and bring them and their companions to the kingdom guiding and protecting them without interfering too much in order to see if the prophesied knights had the will to overcome the obstacles that came their way. Thus, he disguised himself as a fox so that the Holy Knights of Camelot would not discover him.

When Pellegarde appears, Anghalhad asks who he is. Lancelot says they do not have time to play with him and uses an Incantation Orb to teleport away leaving Pellegarde with the words in the mouth. The group suddenly appears in the Kingdom of Liones, and Lancelot says that the king is waiting for them.

Chaos in Liones arc
As they roam the streets of the kingdom, Anghalhad gets excited to see real Holy Knights leading Donny to mock their attitude. Arriving at the castle, Anghalhad is nervous to see her idol, Meliodas, but is disappointed to learn that she is out partying.

Seeing that Percival separated from them, Lancelot asks the rest to go find him. they eventually find him being attacked by the Tristan Platoon, so the three of them promptly get up to intervene. However, Chion's Sylph suffocates them and leaves them vulnerable to Isolde hitting them with her morning star, leaving them in serious condition. After Tristan knocks a berserker Percival down with his swords, his three friends rise to shield Percival and leave everyone shocked when they manage to bring Percival back to his senses.

Tristan then uses his magic to heal Percival's friends, but is unable to reverse the mummification of Chion's arm. Anghalhad and the others defends Percival when Chion blames him, until Percival manages to heal him himself. Tristan then asks Isolde what led to the situation, but the girl is embarrassed that she "had her chastity taken from her" and she leaves in tears. Anghalhad ask Percival for the same, hitting the boy when this one tells her what happened. When Lancelot arrives telling that the fourth Knight of Apocalypse had fleed the scene. Lancelot orders Tristan's party and Percival's party to check the east and west gates while he himself checks the south gate. Anghalhad's magic allows her to see the falsehood in Chion and warns Tristan before leaving.

As they search, the four discuss their recent experiences and whether this fourth knight is really trustworthy. When Percival thanks them for saving him earlier, the group has an emotional moment. In it Anghalhad warns them about the lies of Chion, who always knew that Percival was a Knight of the Apocalypse and attacked him even so. She also suggests that they should be called "Team Anghalhad" insisting that she is the leader.

The group encounters a man fighting a Holy Knight, whom they initially believe to be Gawain, but who is revealed to be Pellegarde. Upon getting engulfed in the fire of Pellegarde's power, Anghalhad is protected along everyone else by Percival's power. Anghalhad along with Nasiens and Donny watch as the Four Knights of Apocalypse gather and urge them to end the fight, but are alarmed when Percival is kidnapped after trying to reason with Pellegarde. Anghalhad is surprised that Lancelot can perceive what is happening to Percival, Tristan and Gawain from such a distance. Lancelot then goes to the castle telling the three of them to wait there for Percival and the others to return.

The three then rush to where Percival and the rest were fighting Chaos Galand and Chaos Melascula, but arrive after they have already been defeated. Anghalhad questions about such destruction and Tristan explains that King Arthur revived two of the Ten Commandments as pawns. As all the Holy Knights present offer their full service to the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Anghalhad and Nasiens realize that Percival is an existence far beyond them.

When the two demons merge in Melagaland, Anghalhad watches the fight alongside Nasiens and Donny. When Gawain faints from draining her magic, Anghalhad is shocked to see that her true form is that of a little girl. Anghalhad punches Donny when he looks at Gawain's breasts and urges him to get the girl out of there so Tristan and Percival can fight with everything. In between, everyone suffers from the disorienting effects of Melagaland's neurotoxin, until Nasiens heals everyone with his power. Seeing the destruction caused by one of Melagaland's attacks, Anghalhad decides to go help evacuate the citizens. When Arthur Pendragon shows everyone visions of a perfect Camelot where they can reunite with their lost loved ones, Anghalhad is annoyed that everyone around her falls for his words.

The night after the battle, Anghalhad is upset when Percival, Nasiens, and Donny insist on staying in the same room as her. When Donny asks her about her attitude, she says that she is still angry at how the citizens acted because of what Arthur showed them, ignoring him as an enemy and the Holy Knights who defended them. She then questions if Arthur was really such a strong opponent and is shocked when Percival reveals that Meliodas was present at the battle, though she doesn't believe he really is the boy everyone saw.

Current arc
The morning after the battle, Isolde meets Anghalhad after training and the two girls manage to come to terms. Isolde tells her how she was always discriminated for her looks and size by everyone except Tristan, that's why she wants to keep fighting for him even if she no longer has the right to love him after Percival took her chasity away from her. Anghalhad clears up the misunderstanding and leaves Isolde embarrassed about what it really means to lose her chastity. When Isolde tells her to continue to strive as Holy Knights in service to their respective Knights of Apocalypse, Anghalhad explains that she is not really a Holy Knight.

Anghalhad is then called to an audience with the king alongside Percival, Nasiens, and Donny. Already in the castle they are received by Queen Elizabeth, and Anghalhad ask if Meliodas already arrived. When Meliodas appears groping Elizabeth's breasts, the three are surprised to find out that he is in fact the king, as Anghalhad breaks up after her ideal image of Meliodas is shattered. Although Meliodas thanks them for everything they have done so far, the three of them are sad. When Meliodas tells them that it is time to say goodbye, Anghalhad and the others explains to Percival that they are not Holy Knights nor do they have the strength to fight alongside him. Though Percival pleads with them not to part, they tearfully deny him, as Anghalhad promises to one day become a Holy Knight and catch him up. However, Meliodas interrupts them saying that they misunderstood him. Anghalhad screams annoyed at him, leading Meliodas to ask her to kneel before him. The girl thinks he is gonna punish her for disrespect him, but to everyone's surprise, he officially appoints Nasiens, Donny and Anghalhad Holy Knights and asks them to continue helping Percival. They ask why he told them to say goodbye, to which Meliodas explains that he meant to say goodbye to their old lives until the war with Camelot was over. Meliodas apologizes to them for leaving the fate of the world in their hands, but he tells them that he is counting on them to help him protect Britannia. Despite happily accepting, everyone is furious at being tricked.

Although her companions are happy with the appointment, Anghalhad stuns them by saying that she refuses to be a Holy Knight because she recognizes that she does not have the strength or magic to be as useful in battle as her other companions, stating that this would make her a burden for them. Meliodas says that he cannot force her to accept, but Elizabeth approaches her and tells her that she heard about how she helped evacuate the citizens during the previous battle. Anghalhad says that was the only thing she could do, but Elizabeth says that those who do what others can't are admirable, but those who do what others don't even try are even more so. Feeling inspired, Anghalhad thanks the queen and decides to join the newly appointed Percival Platoon.

Meliodas then leads the new formed Percival Platoon to the war room where the other members of the Four Knights of Apocalyse and the Tristan Platoon were gathered to discuss the situation with Camelot. When Anghalhad ask why are they fighting a kingdom that was destroyed 16 years ago, Thetis explains that Camelot was recreated in an alternate dimension by the power of Chaos but are now starting this war because there is a price to pay in order to rebuilt and maintain the new Camelot. To further expose her words, she uses her magic to teleport everyone to a landscape that has been stripped of various parts, leaving only empty spaces. Meliodas explain that it is the result of Arthur creating a new Camelot, something he heard from Percival's grandfather who was a former Holy Knight of Camelot. When Thetis reveals that a former Holy Knight of Liones killed the prisoner who was their only means of getting to Camelot, Donny is upset that no one stopped her and questions that Meliodas didn't go while he could instead of waiting for Percival. This leads Melidoas to reveal that he couldn't because he is a demon, surprising Anghalhad and Nasiens. When everyone is left despairing that they have no way to get to Camelot, Anghalhad and the others are shocked when Percival suggests they go on an adventure together to find a solution.

Anghalhad and Persival go to eat some cakes while their companions attend to other things. On the way back, Percival asks Anghalhas if she won't tell her father that he became a Holy Knight, to which she says that he would then make her go back. Hearing Percival excited about everyone going on an adventure, Anghalhad reminds him that Meliodas told them that their clothes and equipment would be ready in a day, leading her to comment on the shock that Melidoas is a demon even though Percival claims that he is a good person who fought. by humans in the Holy War. Percival then asks her if he would hate him if he wasn't human, to which she says that he will always be him. Percival hugs her saying how much he loves her and the rest, to which Anghalhad separates him from her and reproaches him for taking care of her the way she approaches women. Percival says that he likes the way women feel and smell, but Anghalhad punches him, insisting that he not go overboard with touching them. Percival promises, although seeing him depressed, Anghalhad tells him that she will be more permissive with him from time to time.

When the Percival Platoon recieves their new outfits, Anghalhad quiestions all of the Tristan Platoon's lack of personality except for Isolde.
