Reficul

Reficul (リフィカル) is a supporting character in The Gray Garden. She is the devil of the Pentagram World. She lives in a castle in the Pentagram World called Hukumaden (伏魔殿). 
== Physical Description ==
 Reficul has long white wavy hair, messy bangs, red eyes, two gray curved horns with the right horn having two red piercings, a spade-pointed tail, and six black bat wings. She wears a black vest with four buttons, red tie, gray and light gray striped dress shirt with white sleeve cuffs and four black buttons, black pleated skirt with a longer cape skirt that has a red underside over the shorter skirt not covering the front, gray striped knee-high socks, and black boots with a small bat wing on each one. In her character portrait, she also wears black headphones.
In the past, back when she was a seraph and served under Elux, she had the same white messy hair but with an ahoge, a light yellow halo, and six feathered white angel wings. Her dress shirt was completely blue. She also had a red tie similar to her current one and white blazer over her dress shirt and tie. The bottom of her design is currently unknown as it has not been shown.
== Personality ==
Reficul has come across as docile; leniency, calmness, and apathy are shown in her overall behavior. She tends to procrastinate with her work and usually neglects it, for she does not find a purpose for worrying or stressing over it. It was stated in an illustration that she wishes to live a carefree life and forget all unpleasant things. However, that would be impossible due to her status as a demon queen.
Reficul is also a very straightforward person, being blunt with her actions. However, she has shown sides of playfulness in her, whether it's teasing Ivlis or anything in between. Her hobby is obedience training. 
She is completely devoted to her wife Sin and loves her dearly as well.
== Background ==
In the past, Reficul was a seraph and served under Elux. What turned her into a devil is currently unknown, but it was mentioned she "fell from grace." The underworld she now rules previously did not exist back when she was an angel. Her current role is governing the demons in her world.

==== Sin ====
Sin is Reficul's wife, swearing eternal love to each other. Their marriage is one of unrivaled love and happiness. They are very close and have a son named Mors. Sin refers to Reficul as "Reficul-sama." Reficul is the "top" (tachi) in their relationship. At night, they spend their time making out and losing track of time. Sin accepts her wife having other lovers as she is described to "understand perfectly one can love multiple people." 
The upcoming story The Sea of Glittering Stars will feature Reficul and Sin's honeymoon trip to the hotsprings, which Deep-Sea Prisoner had thought about before. 
==== Sol ====
Sol is Reficul's younger sister. Prior to Reficul becoming a devil, they both worked under Elux and were on relatively good terms. This completely changed when Reficul was cast out of heaven. It has been strongly implied that Sol dealt the finishing blow by piercing Reficul through the chest with her golden sword. The two are now on bad terms, with Sol having romantic but violent one-sided feelings towards Reficul as confirmed in the 2017/10/21 Sunahama relationship charts update.
==== Mors ====
Mors is the son of Reficul and Sin. Though Reficul is his mother, Mors refers to her by "Maou-sama" (魔王さま), or "Lord Devil," due to having two mothers. They are on good terms.
=== Subordinates ===
==== Lzet ====
Lzet is Reficul's right-hand man. When she does not feel like doing her paperwork, she dumps it on his desk instead. He is also Reficul's other lover. It has been said Lzet can literally bottom for Reficul, as demons are able to change their parts at will. 
==== Mephir ====
Mephir is Reficul's subordinate. As a masochist, Mephir likes being stepped on by his "queen" and is very loyal to her. Not much else is known about their relationship.
=== The Gray Garden Cast ===
==== Kcalb ====
Kcalb is Reficul's longtime acquaintance. Prior to their first meeting, Kcalb had no knowledge of her, yet she knew who Kcalb was. After defeating Ivlis, Reficul materializes to them upon Etihw's request during the pair's private conversation. Kcalb comments about Reficul's loitering and how she could have intervened earlier in all of this. She retorts she helped behind the scenes and explains how she gave chase to Ivlis sorting him out. After a bit more conversation, Kcalb apologizes for the trouble, which Reficul waves off, saying they all need help at times. She then sends regards to him for an upcoming devil's party that another devil is hosting. Kcalb had previously promised his attendance should he need to return the favor; after current events, he now feels obligated to go despite his obvious apprehension.
==== Lowrie ====
Lowrie is an acquaintance of Reficul, who hails from her world. She was the one who brought him to the Gray Garden. Despite her status, Lowrie and her speak casually with each other. They appear to have been on familiar terms before, as Reficul was able to pierce through Lowrie's kind face and tell he was faking his personality.
==== Ivlis ====
Ivlis is Reficul's torture target. After the events of The Gray Garden, she had taken him in with her as the family pet, making him refer to her as "Queen-sama." She would occasionally abuse him sexually. However, Ivlis' virginity remained intact, and Reficul only disciplined Ivlis like a SM play queen and did not directly torture him. She trained him due to his feminine attributes. Reficul eventually got bored with Ivlis and gave him over to Satanick who began torturing him. Reficul is one of the three women Ivlis is capable of being attracted to. Truth mini-comic 
==== Rieta ====
Rieta and Reficul are enemies. In The Gray Garden, while Reficul was punishing Ivlis, Rieta attempted to intervene. Reficul then proceeded to turn her into a lamp genie, casting her away to unknown whereabouts. 
==== Emalf ====
Emalf and Reficul are acquaintances. They briefly met when Reficul visited the Flame Underworld. She proceeded to choke him using her transformed wings as hands asking for directions. Reficul also does not hold Emalf in any particular view, squashing and beating him up with ease in order to get to Ivlis.
=== Various ===
==== Satanick ====
Satanick is Reficul's acquaintance. Satanick calls her "Refi-chan." They seem to be on neutral terms. Reficul also introduced Satanick to Ivlis. She eventually got bored with him, and with Satanick coming around more and more, handed him over to Satanick who began torturing him. Satanick can be seen sometimes calling Reficul with her being unnerved or seemingly annoyed by his shenanigans. Despite his vulgarity, Satanick speaks formally and politely with Reficul and her wife. 
==== Elux ====
Elux is the god of Reficul's world. Prior to becoming a devil, Reficul served under them as a seraph. It has also been stated Reficul and Elux are "enemies, obsessed with each other." 
==== Luna, Mars, & Mercury ====
Luna, Mars, and Mercury were Reficul's comrades prior to becoming a devil.
