Elizabeth Liones

Elizabeth Leoneth (エリザベス・リオネス) is the Third Princess of Britannia who is on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins in order to stop the Holy Knights. She is the main female protagonist and starts working as a waitress at Boar Hat bar when she joins Meliodas.

Appearance
She has long silver hair and blue eyes. She wears a pair of blue ear rings with the symbol of the royal family of Britannia (which compromises a sun, a moon and stars).

Personality
Although Elizabeth initially appears to be a fragile and frail girl, she is in fact very brave and courageous. Her selfless attitude and bravery is clearly emphasized when she is shown to be willing to sacrifice her own life to save innocent people from danger. On the other hand, she is a fairly gullible person and is always tricked by Meliodas and his jokes.

Introduction Arc
Elizabeth is first seen to be appearing at the Boar Hat, wearing armor and dressed up as the Rust Knight. After everyone leaves in fear except Meliodas, she is confronted by him but soon falls unconscious, which removes her helm, which reveals her to be female. Shortly after, Elizabeth awakes and is presented with some of Meliodas's terrible dishes which brings her to the point of tears after eating them.

As she began to reveal that she was searching for the Seven Deadly Sins, the knights of Beard of the Mountain Cat, including Alioni, arrive and demand that Meliodas come out and bring the Rust Knight with him, whom they believe to be one of the Seven Deadly Sins. While Meliodas and Hawk go out, Elizabeth escapes from the back door toward the woods. She is pursued by the knights, but successfully escapes thanks to Meliodas and Hawk.

Elizabeth then continues, telling the two that she was searching for the Deadly Sins in order to defeat the Holy Knights, who, a few days ago, had orchestrated a coup d'état, and had started forcing civilians to participate in military activities, and under whom, insubordination was a deadly crime. Just then, suddenly, the portion of the cliff they are standing on is cut off by Twigo. Meliodas saves everyone, which then leads Twigo to discover Elizabeth's true identity as the princess of the kingdom. She is saved by Meliodas again from Twigo's attack, and she, in order to protect the former, who she thought was only a simple civilian, decided to surrender. Just as Twigo is about to kill both of them, Meliodas reveals his true identity as finishing blow, Meliodas unveils his identity as one of the Seven Deadly Sins and easily defeats Twigo. Afterwards, she happily accepts his offer of joining him.

Later, Elizabeth is officially hired as a waitress in Boar Hat, and is shown to be wearing the "uniform" that Meliodas chose. She then asks the Deadly Sin as to why he was labelled as a criminal, and that it must have been a misunderstanding. He initially jokes, saying that he stole panties of all the women in the kingdom and that he groped the breasts of over thousand women, but leaves the question unanswered and ambiguous. They soon arrive at the village of Bernia, which was famous for their alcoholic drinks. As they enter the village, Hawk discovers that the river was completely dried up and the herbs, all wilted. They then see many men crowded, and when when Meliodas asks whether there was a festival going on, they discover that a Holy Knight had sealed the underground water source of the river in in Bernia with his sword.

While the villagers were unsuccessfully trying to pull out the sword, a boy named Mead started boasting that his friend was one of the Seven Deadly Sins and that the sword was "nothing", which only served to anger and annoy the villagers, who started blaming Mead for the crisis. Meliodas brought Mead to the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth soon appeared and told Mead about a story of her past; since she was adopted, she had once climbed a tree to get her father, King Leoneth's attention. That made him very frightened, and he tried to save her, only to fall down himself and get injured. After hearing that, Mead tells the reason he angered the Holy Knight into sealing the water source. Soon then, Elizabeth sees two knights, through the window, informing the villagers that if they don't pull out the sword by that day, their taxes will be multipled by ten times.

After Meliodas easily pulls out Gilthunder's sword, the villagers of Bernia have a party at the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth attempts her first time of being a waitress. Unfortunately, however, she made many mistakes and caused several problems, which causes her to run out crying. Outside the Boar Hat, she encounters Meliodas, who manages to encourage Elizabeth before stopping Gilthunder's spear which was heading for Bernia, and throwing it back. After acknowledging that they could bring more danger to Bernia if they stay there, they decide to leave and continue their journey.

Forest of White Dreams Arc
She, Meliodas and Hawk then enter the Forest of White Dreams, which is avoided by even the Holy Knights and is a very nice place to hide for one of the Deadly Sins. Suddenly, multiple copies of Hawk appear out of thin air. Meliodas quickly defeats all of them, including the original, only to discover that now there were copies of Elizabeth, who say that they will do anything to prove that they're real. Meliodas manages to trick the fakes, by telling them to jump as high as they could, which the original refuses to do, since her panties had been stolen by Meliodas beforehand. The copies are revealed to be Prankster Imps, who then unintentionally lead them to Diane, and apologize for letting a "Holy Knight" come through, since they believe that Meliodas is a Holy Knight. That causes Diane, who was sleeping to wake up and grab Meliodas, only to start crying tears of joy when she realizes that it is her captain. The Serpent's Sin then notices Elizabeth, and upon finding that Meliodas is traveling with her, throws a tantrum, while calling him a "cheater." After Meliodas finally calms her down and explains to her why he and Elizabeth are traveling together, the princess listens to Meliodas narrating the events that happened ten years ago, and is shown to be surprised when it is revealed that the Deadly Sins were framed, and wonders whether there might have been a traitor. Just as Diane decides to join Meliodas in finding the other five, Gilthunder arrives and binds all of them, intending to kill Meliodas and Diane. She immediately recognizes Gilthunder, and says that he is a knight very close to her father and that he was a brother-figure to her, and is very shocked when she discovers that he was the one that sealed Bernia's water source. Though he unbinds her and orders her to leave, she refuses to do so, and tells him to unbind Meliodas and Diane. Gilthunder then kicks Hawk out of the way, which leads Elizabeth to go after him.{{ref|ch=6|p=2-6} After Meliodas tricks the Holy Knight into revealing information about the whereabouts of Ban and King, and Diane throws him away from the forest, she is seen worrying about Meliodas' injury.

As Meliodas decides to go to Baste Dungeon first, as it is nearer to their location, she objects, saying that it'd be better if his would was healed first. He then affirms that the wound was "nothing"; however, she quickly finds that he has collapsed.

Baste Dungeon Arc
After Diane throws Gilthunder away from the forest, Meliodas' injury from his battle with Gilthunder causes him to fall unconscious, and Elizabeth grows increasingly worried about him. In order to allow Meliodas to heal, they went to Dalmary Town where Meliodas received treatment from Dr. Dana. Diane told them she going to Baste Dungeon but Elizabeth to stop her but she will get in the way. Hawk got mad and told her not every girls is a giant like her and Elizabeth said that she wanted to be stronger because Meliodas is doing this for her to find the Seven Deadly Sins. Diane got mad that them and said Meliodas is not doing this for her and said Meliodas is always like this and told them Meliodas defended her from the guard and it was the first time someone said if she was scared and she feel the same height. She said she can't be cute and small like her and care for Meliodas but can only fight for him. Elizabeth got sad and said she wanted to be stronger to protect the people she loves and not be a burden for them but Diane said she wanted to be small. Diane was about to leave but then Friesia of the Weird Fangs attack on the town. Elizabeth and Hawk try to run for cover because of the bugs posion but Diane crush all the bugs and ran toward Baste Dungeon to free Ban.

Elizabeth and Hawk went back to Meliodas but the doctor said it was too late and then a Holy Knight Golgius came in out of nowhere and told everyone he was the one who made the doctor to poison Meliodas because he doesn't want to fight him and when he was going after Meliodas sword Meliodas hold on to the sword tight and said he wouldn't let go of the sword even if he dies and said that it was the only way to repay for his sins and Golgius jump out of the window to get away from him. Elizabeth went to him and told him if he's okay and notice the injury are gone and he told her it was nothing and they went after him. While walking they found him again thanks to Hawk nose but Golgius said he surrender to them but then Meliodas block Golgius secret attack but then the doctor came back to tell Golgius he did what he told him and that he should release his daughter but Golgius disappeared again and Meliodas told him to get away but it was too late and the doctor was stab by Golgius and he disappeared again. Elizabeth went to the doctor to see if he okay but Meliodas and Hawk told her they should get out now before he comes again but Elizabeth doesn't want to leave him but then Golgius appeared again and attack Elizabeth but Meliodas went came in the right time and block his attack. After several attack they ran away to an old broken down house and went to the top.

Meliodas took out his sword and made a circle around the floor which led Hawk asking him what was he doing. He told him he is making a spell for teleporting but Hawk said that it was ridiculous. Golgius then suddenly appears behind Meliodas, when the floor breaks and made him fall. Meliodas went after him and then easily defeated him. Afterwards, they went to the doctor where he revealed that he was doing this because the Holy Knight captured his daughter. If he did not poison Meliodas they will kill his daughter, soon afterwards Dr. Dana seemingly passes away. Elizabeth said it was her fault because if they didn't come here the doctor wouldn't die since the Holy Knight would not have taken the daughter as a hostage. She continues her remorse about getting Meliodas involve in this and that he wouldn't have gotten an injury from Gilthunder or nearly killed by Golgius. In response, Meliodas tells her that he understands why she would cry, and questions her whether her desire to protect the people and the kingdom from the Holy Knights, is so weak that it can be broken by a tear or two. He then states that if she were to die he would fulfill their promise.

After that they went to where Diane went to, to find Ban but she back and acting different and then they went to Baste Dungeon where Ban and the doctor daughter is. After beginning to travel towards Baste Dungeon, Diane started attacking Meliodas, thinking he is Ruin of the Weird Fangs. They ran away from her and found a little boy and his father on the road. In order to prevent any them being harmed, they got ran away with them, whilst Meildoas started wondering why Diane is attacking him but then Meliodas start to attack Diane and then a bug strom attack the boy and Elizabeth went there to save him not caring if she died but it turn out to be Ruin in disguise and was the one who put a spell on Meliodas and Diane. Ruin start beating her up but she got the bell Ruin used to put the spell and before he sent a finishing blow Meliodas came in and saved her. Meliodas went to Elizabeth and said he accepted her resolve. After Meliodas defeated Ruin and Diane defeated Friesia Elizabeth was put inside Diane bag because she wanted to come too and Diane accepted it.
