Ravel Phenex

Ravel Phenex (レイヴェル?フェニックス, Reiveru Fenikkusu) is one of the many female protagonists of High School DxD. She is the only daughter and youngest child of Lord Phenex and Lady Phenex, and the younger sister of Ruval Phenex, an unnamed older brother, and Riser Phenex. She is a second-year high school student at Kuoh Academy and a former member of Riser Phenex’s peerage. Like her older brothers, Ravel has inherited the powers of the Phoenix, granting her abilities related to fire, wind, and regeneration. After Riser’s defeat, she is transferred under new authority and later becomes a Bishop serving under Issei Hyoudou. Ravel is initially portrayed as spoiled, arrogant, and snobbish during her debut. However, she is later revealed to be well-mannered, modest, elegant, and polite, though she can be harsh toward those she dislikes. She is extremely loyal to her older brother and once firmly believed that he was invincible. After witnessing his defeat, Ravel begins to reassess her beliefs and gradually develops respect and emotional attachment toward Issei, often expressing herself in a reserved and conflicted manner. Ravel does not object to her role as a servant and instead focuses on being useful and supportive. She later takes pride in serving as Issei’s manager and dedicates herself to studying and self-improvement so she can better support him in the future. Despite her young age, Ravel is highly intelligent, mature, and perceptive. She is capable of reading the atmosphere of a situation and understanding others’ intentions with little information. She is also a gifted strategist, serving as Issei’s primary strategist and acting as a second-in-command within his peerage. In this role, Ravel is strict and maintains high standards regarding who is allowed to serve under Issei, such as opposing certain recruits due to their affiliations or perceived risks. Ravel has also displayed a ruthless and relentless side when pursuing victory for her team.
