Venelana Gremory

**Venelana Gremory** (née **Bael**) is the current Lady of the Gremory Clan. She is the mother of Rias Gremory and Sirzechs Lucifer, the grandmother of Millicas Gremory, and the wife of Zeoticus Gremory.

## Appearance

Venelana looks very much like her daughter with shorter brown hair and violet eyes much like the natural born members of the Bael Clan in the anime. Due to her devil lineage, she appears around the same age as her daughter and her son who appears to be in his early to mid twenties.

## Personality

Venelana has been shown to have a serious personality being strict to her children but at the same time cares deeply for them. She can seamlessly switch her demeanor from that of a proper, young noble lady to that of the head Lady of the Gremory Family. Venelana can also strike fear at others when she's angered, such as her husband, Zeoticus.

Venelana is quite the intelligent woman when it comes to the business world, as she has got a talent in finding hidden gems that have not yet been properly evaluated at its true price, due to having good connections. She was able to create a huge business out of rare crops that only people who live in the countryside knows or crafts that natives makes, and she was able to make them popular in the city of the Gremory territory.

## History

Venelana is the eldest daughter of the House of Bael that is famous for their Powers of Destruction. However, due to Venelana being the daughter of the second mistress, she did not have the right to inherit the clan. She was known as the Brunette Ruin Princess (an alias which would later be passed to her daughter) before her marriage and was stated to be the strongest woman from the House of Bael of all time. She eventually married the current head of the House of Gremory and gave birth to two children: Sirzechs and Rias, both of whom inherited her Powers of Destruction.

## Plot

### Birth of the Breast Dragon Emperor

Venelana made her first appearance in Volume 5, when Rias and her peerage returned to the Underworld. She made Issei attend lessons on how to act properly and the history of the Underworld and the Gremory Clan. She also personally gave Issei a lesson on how to dance.

### The Heroic Oppai Dragon

In Volume 10, she and Millicas are shown to be visiting Issei and Rias after the two of them finished their Oppai Dragon Campaign. She then scolded Rias for her lack of initiative towards her relationship between Issei and herself before asking Issei to reconsider on what he should call Rias in private.

### The Legend of Oppai Dragon and his Lively Companions

In Volume 22, Venelana took part in Rias's graduation and proudly watched as Rias graduates at Kuoh Academy.

## Powers & Abilities

**Immense Demonic Power**: Venelana is powerful enough to be known as the strongest woman from the house of Bael of all time. It was mentioned by Zeoticus that it may be his wife's genes in Sirzechs as a dominating genetic factor that results in his son's immense power as a Super Devil. When angered she can release an enormous black aura capable of sending opponents flying.

* **Power of Destruction** (滅びの力, *Horobi no Chikara*): Coming from the Bael Clan, Venelana can use the Power of Destruction.

**Flight**: Being a Devil, Venelana can fly using her wings.
