Gerheade

is a fairy and serves as an adviser to the second Fairy King Dahlia, and is the younger sister of Gloxinia, the first Fairy King.

Appearance
Gerheade wears a long yellow dress that covers the stumps of her legs lost at the knees and a green hat adorned with a flower that covers her right eye socket which was slashed by one of the human members of Stigma. She also wears earrings that match her pointy ears and wings, and a fruit wand.

3,000 years ago, Gerheade's wings were longer, she had both eyes, she had both legs along with wearing a shorter dress and wielding a different fruit wand.

Personality
Gerheade is a mysterious, strange and aloof fairy, but takes her job as adviser and the Fairy tradition very seriously. Like most fairies, she has a distaste and mistrust towards humans, which lead to her original animosity towards Ban. This hate she has may stem from the betrayal Rou and his comrades dealt to her during the Holy War. As harsh as she seems to be, she greatly cares for her fellow Fairies and wants to protect them.

During the Holy War, Gerheade is shown to be almost completely different from what she is right now with King himself being befuddled by the drastic contrast in her character. At that time she has a more kind, cheerful and innocent persona as she felt great empathy for others regardless of race including demons as she felt saddened by Ludociel's plan to use the demon citizens as hostages and bait though reluctantly accepted it as she was desperate for the war to end then. Her empathy allowed her to befriend humans then like Rou and even trusted them more so than now as even after she was shocked and wounded from the betrayal of him and his comrades, she still sympathized with his loss that drove him to killing Stigma in revenge to point of trying to plead for his life to her older brother.

3,000 years ago
3000 years ago, Gerheade lived in the Fairy King's Forest along with her brother Gloxinia, the first Fairy King. During the Holy War, Gerheade stayed on the side of Stigma. She wanted the war to end at any cost, so she did nothing despite knowing about Ludociel's horrible plans of using demons held hostage as a living bait to destroy the rest of them. While her brother faced the Ten Commandments, Gerheade stayed in the forest under the care of a human named Rou. However, Rou and the rest of the humans attacked Stigma and began to kill everyone in the forest. Gerheade tried to reason with Rou, but then she was attacked by a human who left her without her right eye and cut off her wings and legs. After Rou killed him, he and Gerheade talked about Rou's past that led him to take revenge on Stigma, just as Gerheade took everything as punishment for doing nothing to Ludociel's actions. When Gloxinia appears to be witnessing the horrible scenario, Gerheade tried to explain what happened but could not prevent Gloxinia from murdering Rou. Somehow, Gerheade survived and continued alive for 3000 years.
