Belial

Belial

#### *Belial braging to Team Akito.*

Belial, formerly known as the Archangel Ariel is a Demon Lord of Hell. She was originally the leader of the Seven Mortal Sins until she was casted out with Astaroth by Lucifer. Now she plans to seek revenge against the Demon Lord who dethroned her.

## Appearance

Belial's appearance embodies imbalance, beginning with her eyes, which have heterochromia: her right eye is yellow and her left eye is red. Her silvery-bluish shoulder-length hair covers her right ear and exposes her left ear. She has two horns curling upwards on the sides of her head, but they are unequal in ratio, as her right horn is very large and her left horn is very small. Belial wears very little, sporting an elaborate piece of assymetrical blue armor on her shoulders with flames sprouting from it, which covers her nipples. She wears a black lace stringless panty covering her crotch and black lace kneeguards and stockings on her legs. She wears ballet shoes on her feet (with her right shoe colored pink and her left shoe colored red) and fingerless gloves on her hands (with her right glove colored black and her left glove colored purple).

Lastly she wears silver, thin rimmed glasses that matches the color of her hair.

## Personality

She was once thriving to compete with Lucifer for the seat of the Leader of the Mortal Sins, that Belial claims was usurped from her.

Her pride/Vanity ranks next to Lucifer's, her combat capabilities are close to Satan's, her sex appeal rivals that of Asmodeus'. Being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, she usually attacks Lucifer with her mighty power, but as they would always backfire, she holds quite the losing streak that is even worse than Leviathan's.

After losing her heirloom armor and her dress, being left with nothing to wear, her servant Gnosis turned into living armor to cover the sensitive spots, but this still barely covers her and serves as a massive boon to her sex appeal. It is due to her devotion to Gnosticism that she can continue challenging Lucifer everyday without losing her bravado.

Additionally, she, Astaroth and Mammon are the only Demon Lords to have unique accents within their speech.

## Backstory

Belial was once known as the archangel Ariel and was a devoted angel to God. When God needed more followers, Belial went to the human world and gave the humans a forbbiden knowledge. While this did gain more followers for God, it made the humans more vunerable to sinning so as punishment, God had Helel who later became Lucifer casted Belial out of hell.

Belial felt a huge hatred for Lucifer for banishing her to hell and become a demon and planned to have revenge. She was originally apart of a Demon Pillar of Demons known as the Goetia Demons. But soon she eventually decided to make her own rule of hell by making a group of Demons known as the Mortal Sins.

Belial managed to convince Asmodeus and Astaroth of the Goetia demons to join her while also recuiting Satan, Mammon, Belphegor and Beelzebub.

Soon Lucifer came into hell and challenged Belial and the other sins to conquer hell as Belial commanded the sins to challenge Lucifer through trials until she was all that was left.

Unknown to Lucifer and the other Sins, Belial worked with Michael behind the scenes to strike a deal that she'll let the Archangel destroy hell and Lucifer in return she'll return to heaven.

When Lucifer finally defeated all the other Sins she faced Belial who despite all of Belial's effort, Lucifer won in the end.

Soon eventually Michael came into Hell to destroy it as Belial thought she was going to be taken back to Heaven but Michael crushed her dreams saying that God doesn't make deals with demons.

After Lucifer stopped Michael from destroying Hell, she banished Belial from Hell as Astaroth joined her due to having extreme loyalty to the Demon Lord of Vanity.

After all that has happened, Belial developed a hatred for Humanity, Hell and Heaven and planned revenge as Astaroth will help her achievce this.
