Chiffon

Chiffon Val Gremory is a half-dwarf, half-demon Nerezza and the mortal bearer of the Sin of Gluttony. Although she is eighteen when introduced, her short stature and youthful appearance make her look much younger. She enters the story as an abandoned Silverwind Academy student whose supernatural hunger has driven her to eat refuse, but William's care gives her both reliable relief and her first dependable human bond. Her attachment grows into love during their ascent of the Tower of Babylon, where the two marry and jointly conquer its fifty-first floor. She later confronts the family trauma she had once been powerless to resist, dies while trying to reach William in Ahriman's domain, and returns from the Underworld to fight in the War of Destruction. By the epilogue she lives with William in the Ainsworth Royal Palace and is pregnant with their twin daughters. (Chapters 518–524, 633–650, 1073–1077, 1408–1422, 1463)

Appearance and personality

Chiffon is 144 centimeters tall at her introduction, with waist-length light-pink hair and matching pink eyes. She normally wears an adorable, youthful appearance that leads strangers to underestimate her; William's appraisal nevertheless records her as eighteen and identifies her mixed heritage. Her fighting equipment sharply changes that impression: the black-and-silver gauntlets William makes for her and the massive mace Sharur give the small girl a visibly martial presence. (Chapters 518–519, 550, 1074)

Years of starvation, public disgust, and abuse initially leave Chiffon quiet, anxious, and unable even to produce a natural smile. She is frightened of abandonment and clings to anyone who offers genuine security, yet she is also observant: her unusually strong magical perception lets her notice William producing lollipops without a storage ring, and her photographic memory later allows her to chart a route through the Demon Continent. Once treated with patience, her curiosity and warmth emerge. She enjoys sweets, befriends beasts easily, defends companions without hesitation, and becomes openly affectionate with William. (Chapters 519, 523–524, 545, 558, 649, 953)

Her gentleness does not mean passivity. Chiffon resists the mercenaries sent to torment her, refuses to be used as a hostage, and eventually faces Felix without the fear that defined her childhood. Her central conviction is that her place is beside William: she accepts lethal danger to reach him, challenges her brother's demand for obedience, and later chooses to return from the Underworld with her husband. These decisions turn her from an isolated victim into a protective wife and combatant whose loyalty is deliberate rather than merely dependent. (Chapters 545–546, 588–592, 1073–1077, 1409–1412)

Biography

Kraetor and the Tower of Babylon

William finds Chiffon staggering toward Silverwind Academy's garbage dump. Her Gluttony makes ordinary satiety impossible—three tons of refuse can sustain her for only a few hours—and the academy's students have consequently branded her the “Trash Eater.” William stops her from eating a rotting banana peel and gives her a chocolate lollipop whose supernatural nourishment suppresses her hunger. Because his lollipops work where normal food and Albert's food pills progressively fail, Chiffon immediately recognizes William as someone who can end the misery governing her daily life. He brings her into Class F, publicly assumes responsibility for feeding and caring for her, and asks only for a smile in payment, discovering that abuse has left her unsure how to smile at all. (Chapters 518–524)

The reason for her condition is both divine and political. Chiffon is Luciel's daughter by April, a dwarf whom the Demon Lord loved but did not lawfully marry. Her half-siblings, especially Felix, humiliated and starved her, while their mothers engineered the circumstances that killed April. Luciel then forced Chiffon to consume both Felix's mother and April's remains. Later, he deliberately starved Chiffon until Gluttony ran out of control, turning her into a devouring black hole that swallowed buildings, demons, monsters, spells, and even the ground. Rather than protect her, the Demon leadership exiled her to Kraetor as a weapon intended to erupt inside Silverwind Academy. William's aid interrupts that plan: Lily's Lollipops restrain the hunger, he drives off her demonic monitors, and he crafts the Devourer's Gauntlets so that she can protect herself. (Chapters 519, 545–550, 557, 611–620)

Chiffon accompanies William to the Tower of Babylon because separation reawakens her fear of abandonment. During the climb she contributes rather than simply following: she defeats Donutella's drinking challenge, survives being used as a hostage, and briefly awakens a giant form when her wish for enough strength to remain at William's side is answered. On the fifty-first floor, Belial's Heart Devil weaponizes her childhood and fabricates William's rejection until her heart breaks. William enters the trial, witnesses the memories she had buried, rejects the false outcome, and completes the floor's wedding rite with sincere vows. Chiffon regains herself, accepts him as her husband, and joins the final battle against Belial, using her gauntlets, Gluttony, and her bonded Angray Birds to fly, absorb poison, and combine her Blood Wing Tempest with William's World End Tempest. Their victory makes William lord of the floor; Chiffon leaves the Tower as his wife and with Sharur and Gullinbursti as her chosen companions. (Chapters 575, 588–592, 611–634, 647–650)

The Demon Continent and the Heir of Darkness

As William's wife, Chiffon becomes part of his traveling household and is introduced to his other loved ones as his third wife. Her knowledge of the Demon Continent becomes operationally important when William prepares to enter it: she identifies the four Demigods controlling its regions, explains the southern defenses, and uses her photographic memory to plan an eastern route. The journey forces her to return to the land where she was abused, but she goes because William is seeking Celine and because assisting him matters more to her than avoiding her past. She also lends Sharur to William when its strength is needed, showing that the weapon she once chose for personal protection has become a shared family asset. (Chapters 900, 953, 957, 980)

The confrontation with Felix proves how far she has changed. When her half-brother offers to spare William only if she returns to him as an obedient doll, Chiffon raises Sharur and refuses. She explicitly tells Felix that she has come to repay the suffering of her childhood and that she no longer believes his lies; when he claims authority over whether she may stay with William, she answers that the two will remain together regardless of his permission. She then fights alongside William's wives and the King's Legion against Ahriman's Shadow Demons. Her stand is not the absence of remembered trauma—she acknowledges Felix's abuse still affects her—but the decision that it will no longer dictate her actions. (Chapter 1074)

That decision costs Chiffon her life. After Ahriman interferes with William's clash against Felix and the Spear of Lazarus pierces him, Chiffon, Ashe, and Sidonie try to reach their fallen husband and are killed. Chiffon's soul is especially valuable because Gluttony carries divine power; Celine prevents Ahriman from consuming it long enough for the God of Death to claim it. Ella encases Chiffon's body in ice to halt deterioration, and William later places it in the crystal cave beside those of the other women he lost. Chiffon's death therefore becomes part of the catastrophe that transforms William into the Prince of Darkness and fixes his revenge on Felix and Ahriman, while her preserved body leaves open the possibility of restoration. (Chapters 1075–1077, 1091, 1103)

The Grand Alliance and the War of Destruction

Chiffon's soul is housed in Gluttony's Paradise, the third layer of the Underworld, under the care of her patron goddess Adephagia. William finds her there while still alive and spends several days with her. Their reunion includes Maple and Cinnamon, future versions of the twin daughters they are destined to have; Chiffon decides that, if she returns to life, she wants to conceive them so that she can hold and love the children whose future selves she has met. She cannot simply leave during William's first visit because the laws of death would reclaim her soul, so he continues his journey while she waits, turning their separation into a promise of recovery rather than another abandonment. (Chapters 1284, 1296–1299)

William returns during the Grand Alliance campaign and tells Chiffon he has come to take her back to the surface. She immediately agrees and helps the rescue party move through the remaining layers. When Thanatos intercepts them, Chiffon and the other wives enter protective crystal vials; after the God of Death breaks them and threatens their souls with hellfire, they merge temporarily with William, giving him access to their power during the confrontation. The escape ultimately returns their souls to the living world and reunites them with their preserved bodies. Chiffon subsequently walks in William's public wedding escorted by her grandfather, King Eldon, formally reaffirming the marriage first made in the Tower. (Chapters 1408–1412, 1418, 1422)

In the War of Destruction, Chiffon's Gluttony becomes one component of the collective power William uses against Surtr. Her image joins the other Sin-bearers in channeling their divinities into his weapon; Gluttony is explicitly named among the powers that oppose the Fire Giant who destroyed their former lives in Asgard. Chiffon survives the war and settles in the Ainsworth Royal Palace. Three years later she is six months pregnant with twins, while the visiting future Maple and Cinnamon listen to the unborn children move. This outcome fulfills April's dying hope that Chiffon would find a husband who would not abandon her and realizes Chiffon's own promise that her mother would one day have two grandchildren. (Chapters 617, 1461, 1463)

Skills, classes, and divinities

Sin of Gluttony

Chiffon is one of the world's Sin-bearers and carries Adephagia's Divinity of Gluttony. At its most basic, this creates a hunger ordinary quantities of food cannot satisfy. Unchecked starvation can strip away her reason and turn her into a mobile devouring singularity capable of consuming matter, living beings, spells, and terrain. She can also direct that principle in combat: she swallows an Astral Worm's soul-devouring spell, drains many containers at once, absorbs a mass of poison as a rotating black sphere, and contributes Gluttony's Divinity to William's final weapon. (Chapters 519, 545–546, 575, 634, 1461)

Gluttony also gives Chiffon unusual resistance to laws expressed through consumption. Food from the Underworld normally binds the eater there, but the black-hole-like Divinity inside Chiffon consumes that binding effect before it can take hold. The power is not inherently safe: starvation can produce loss of control and indiscriminate predation, and even after a giant-form awakening Chiffon initially turns toward William as the most desirable thing to eat. Her most dependable restraint is Lily's Lollipops, whose divine nourishment suppresses her hunger beyond what mundane food or food pills can achieve. (Chapters 519, 546, 588–592, 1298)

Chiffon can sense related Divinities with unusual precision. She identifies Celine as another Sin-bearer at their first meeting and later challenges Celeste to name the Virtue she represents. She explains that Sins and Virtues possess powers capable of breaking the world's laws, making her perception useful for detecting beings whose ordinary appearance conceals a divine nature. The text establishes the detection and its targets, but does not define an exact range or a formal skill name. (Chapters 558, 651)

Combat abilities

Chiffon's signature natural attack is Blood Wing Tempest, which manifests countless red butterflies and can be combined with William's World End Tempest. Her giant transformation greatly increases her physical scale and devouring capacity, but its first use is explicitly temporary and unstable; the veiled woman who awakens it says it will be sealed until Chiffon understands the feelings in her heart. Chiffon also possesses inherited regeneration originating in April's final healing, which activates when her life is in danger, although its limits are not quantified. (Chapters 588–592, 617, 634)

The Devourer's Gauntlets are Pseudo-Legendary weapons made specifically for her. They raise her attributes, grant flight, underwater breathing, improved reactions, concentration, strength, dodging, and heroism against stronger opponents, and provide Cure, Immolation, a half-strength Shadow Clone, and three daily uses of Overwhelming Strike. A successful hit also has a small chance to stun. These are equipment-granted abilities rather than proof that Chiffon possesses equivalent innate skills without the gauntlets. (Chapter 550)

Sharur, a sentient Mythical mace called the Smasher of Thousands, supplies reach and crushing force and can act independently as her bodyguard. Chiffon also bonds with the Angray Birds B1 and B2 and the golden boar Gullinbursti; the birds can merge into her, producing red and blue wings and enabling flight. These contracts share power between companion and contractor, but the source does not provide a precise numerical account of how much power Chiffon receives from each bond. (Chapters 633–634, 647–650)

Relationships

  • William: Chiffon's caretaker, first secure attachment, husband, and closest combat partner. His refusal to abandon her helps her recover from both starvation and the Heart Devil, while her repeated choice to stand beside him ultimately carries her through death and back to life. (Chapters 518–524, 621–634, 1073–1077, 1408–1422)
  • April: Chiffon's dwarf mother and the only loving figure in her early childhood. April sacrifices her remaining strength to heal Chiffon and asks William, through the Heart Devil memory, to care for her daughter. Chiffon's eventual marriage and twin pregnancy fulfill April's hopes for her future. (Chapters 616–620, 1463)
  • Luciel: Her father and the Demon Lord. Although he once loved April, he abuses Chiffon, exploits Gluttony's destructive potential, and sends her to Kraetor as a living weapon. (Chapters 546, 557, 620)
  • Felix: Her half-brother and principal childhood tormentor. Their later confrontation is Chiffon's clearest rejection of her former helplessness: she refuses his manipulation and asserts that he has no authority over her marriage or future. (Chapters 611, 1074–1077)
  • Adephagia: The Goddess of Gluttony and Chiffon's patron, whom Chiffon calls “Mama Adephagia.” Adephagia watches over her divine power, supports her union with William, and shelters her soul in Gluttony's Paradise. (Chapters 545, 633–634, 1296–1299, 1408–1409)
  • Sidonie and Ashe: William's wives and Chiffon's sisters within his household. They initially help care for her at Silverwind, later fight and die beside her in Ahriman's domain, and share her rescue from the Underworld. (Chapters 522–524, 1073–1077, 1409–1412)
  • Sharur, Gullinbursti, B1, and B2: Chiffon's weapon and beast companions. Their bonds are mutual rather than merely utilitarian: Chiffon defends Sharur when others mock him, cares for Gullinbursti, and receives fierce protection from the Angray Birds during the battle for the fifty-first floor. (Chapters 633–650)

Items

  • Lily's Lollipops: William's divinely empowered candies. The chocolate variety suppresses Chiffon's otherwise limitless hunger, while the red and blue varieties heal minor wounds and replenish magic. Their ability to give her lasting satiety makes them both a survival aid and the foundation of her first bond with William. (Chapters 518–523)
  • Devourer's Gauntlets: Pseudo-Legendary black-and-silver gauntlets forged by William for Chiffon. Their many embedded skills expand her mobility, defense, and striking power, and she uses them in the decisive battle against Belial. (Chapters 550, 634)
  • Sharur: A sentient Mythical mace obtained from the Vault of the Vanished Warlord. It volunteers to protect Chiffon from bullies and remains both her weapon and companion. (Chapters 647–650)
  • Gullinbursti (“Bacon”): A golden boar from the same vault whom Chiffon chooses out of compassion. It becomes one of her contracted beast companions. (Chapters 647–650)

Mechanics and limitations

  • Chiffon's hunger is a dangerous divine condition, not ordinary appetite. Conventional meals and food pills provide diminishing or short-lived relief, while divine lollipops can suppress it reliably. Prolonged starvation risks irrational, indiscriminate devouring. (Chapters 519, 546, 557)
  • Her devouring can consume magic, souls, poison, physical matter, and some law-like effects, but the narrative does not establish that she can negate every power or law. Her victories depend on the target, her state, and the surrounding divine rules. (Chapters 545–546, 575, 634, 1298)
  • The giant form first appears as a one-use, unstable awakening and produces a period of lost restraint. Later use is tied to emotional understanding, but no fixed duration, cooldown, or complete activation rule is given. (Chapters 588–592)
  • Several prominent abilities come from equipment or companions. Flight, Cure, Immolation, Shadow Clone, and repeated Overwhelming Strike are functions of the Devourer's Gauntlets; her phoenix-like wings arise when B1 and B2 merge with her. (Chapters 550, 633–634)
  • Death separates Chiffon's soul from her preserved body. Leaving the Underworld requires a protected soul vessel, resistance to the Underworld's laws, and eventual restoration to the body; she cannot simply walk back into the living world by will alone. (Chapters 1076–1103, 1298–1299, 1408–1418)
