Demi Almassy (Manga)

"*I'm the Pretty Heroine of agriculture and sacred law! I am Sailor Demeter! The laws of nature will send you back to the abyss.*"
— Sailor Demeter's introduction
**Demi Almassy**
 (デミ アルマシー, *Demi Arumashī*?) is Demeter's only living demigod child in Pretty Guardians of Olympus as well as a tertiary protagonist. She is the de-facto leader of the Secondary Olympian Sailor Senshi and doubles as **Sailor Demeter**
 (セーラーデメテル, *Sēra Demeteru*?)–the Guardian of courage and the wars of change. As Sailor Demeter, Demi's powers reside over nature.

## Appearance

### Civilian

Demi is a slender dark-skinned young woman who stands at around 5'6" (or 168 cm). She has a notably friendly face framed with wide olive green eyes. Demi has curly dark auburn hair often placed into a low ponytail at the base of her skull. Demi noticeably looks exactly like Demeter with no difference between them other than hair length and styling

Demi frequently wore the Prometheus Academy school uniform which consisted of a very dark blue blazer with yellow accents, white blouse, a blue tartan skirt, black socks, and a blue and yellow striped tie along with shoes of her choice (black heels). Demi, although being someone to often follow the rules, lacked the tie and always had her sleeves rolled up. However, when she was not in her uniform, she often wore varying different outfits.

## Abilities & Powers

Demi has the ability to manipulate nature (both fauna and flora). She can control and create plants which she uses as both offense and defense. Meanwhile, Demi can communicate with animals but this does not have much of an advantage in combat other than to gain information. She additionally can "communicate" with plants; know how they feel and their "thoughts."

## Nomenclature & Etymology

### Etymology

**Demi:** Demi is another spelling for the name "Dimi" which stems from the modernized form of Demeter, "Dimitra."

**Almassy:** A surname of Hungarian origin meaning apple; Almássy. However, it is slightly Anglicized in spelling for the manga but sometimes Almássy is used instead of Almassy.

## Trivia

* Demi's last name is somewhat inconsistently spelled and even pronounced throughout the manga, promotional content, and artworks. This resulted in frequent debates and arguments amongst fans. The materials collections and official fanbooks cleared the waters and consistently spelled it as Almassy (アルマシー). Her surname was first spelled this way, too, upon its reveal in the manga. The most recent re-release fixed this issue and added a joke about the situation.
	+ Amongst アルマシー (Arumashī) being used, Almassy was also spelled as アラマーシー (Aramāshī) which was only one time spelled in English as Alamassy.
	+ In the first English translation (and some promotional content), Demi's last name was referred to as Almássy.
	+ The last alternate spelling was a small typo: アルマシ (Arumashi) which the mangaka jokingly referred to as "Almass" in her notes.
	+ Most of these errors were blamed on assistants and Chioane forgetting the spelling. Luckily, the re-release fixed these typos and the redone translations fixed it (with some extra joking).
* Unlike her teammates, Demi actually seems to have a *Pretty Heroine Sailor Olympus* counterpart; Sachiko Yamamoto. However, Sachiko also plays the more predominant role of Diane King as being the childhood best friend of the central protagonist, Hiroko Denkino. Demi's personality, backstory, and preferences were directly carried over to this character. Unfortunately, Sachiko is not a Senshi.
* In the original publication and release of the manga, Demi was born in 1975. With the rerelease, her birth year was left ambiguous and subsequently retconned to fit the ambiguity of the story now taking place in the 21st century.
