Siruela Carmen

**Siruela Carmen** (シルエラ・カルメン, *Shiruera Karumen*) is a recurring character of the Yuusha ga Shinda! series. She is a Yonkishi, one of Farom Kingdom’s four strongest knights. In the sequel, Siruela is married to Colin Brad.

## Appearance

Siruela is a slender young woman with an athletic figure, tanned skin, and piercing lavender eyes. Her silver gray hair is styled into high twin-tails with two strands framing the sides of her face, a part to the left, and a single black clip visible on one side. Her usual attire consists of a shoulderless white cheongsam that cuts off at the knees with two thin black straps that cross in front of her neckline and an armored chest plate covering her breasts. She also wears thigh-high black boots, dark arm-length gloves, silver-colored wrist guards, and a white cape with a high collar and metallic shoulder guards.

## Personality

A strong no-nonsense woman, Siruela is a resolute warrior who takes great pride in her status as one of the Yonkishi. She has a powerful sense of duty and works hard to protect the Farom Kingdom as one of its most powerful knights. The most notable aspect of her personality is Siruela’s courage in battle, as she does not hesitate to cut down her enemies, nor will she shy away from even the most dangerous battles. This is shown when she stays behind to fight a large group of devils while Touka’s group pursues a fleeing target, and again when she openly stands alongside the hero against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Siruela is shown to have a strong moral compass, even among the kingdom’s knights. Despite being rescued by Isaac from her life as a slave and given a new life as a soldier, she refused to remain loyal to the Farom Kingdom after discovering King Larcvalt was an evil Necromancer who cared nothing for the lives of his people. While the other Yonkishi remained loyal for fear of his great power, Siruela chose to join Touka’s group in deposing the tyrant, declaring her true loyalty is to the innocent people she has sworn to protect.

She is also shown to despise perverted behavior, causing her to express annoyance while in the presence of former Yonkishi Fieri Yunis due to the latter’s obsession with breasts.

## History

Born on the Southern Continent, Siruela lived as a slave until she was rescued by Isaac Gardner at the age of twelve. He and the king gave her a new chance at life in Farom, allowing her to become a soldier, and later a knight. She eventually became a Yonkishi, one of the four most powerful knights in the kingdom.

## Synopsis

### Meet the Princess

Siruela is first seen participating in a devil slaying quest also attended by Yuna Yunis and Anri Hazeworth. She quickly dispatches the monsters, prompting the girls to leave in search of another spot, believing there won’t be much prey left with such a strong warrior around.

She is later seen spying on Princess Marguerite’s date with the Legendary Hero, clearly annoyed with being given such a menial task by Isaac. Siruela notices the hero’s face looks like an actual skull instead of a mask. When Touka slips up and indirectly reveals he is not Sion, Siruela and Isaac confront him, deducing that his current state is a product of necromancy and the real hero is dead. During the ensuing interrogation, Touka explains the events that led to Sion’s untimely death. While Isaac doesn’t believe it, Siruela confirms the Legendary Hero would’ve been easily attracted by an offering of meat, but still agrees that the impostor should be executed. An argument breaks out until the three realize Marguerite is gone.

A knight then appears and reports that devils have entered the city, prompting them to begin a search for the princess. Siruela runs into a group of zombies and quickly cuts them down, though she wrongly assumes they were created by one of Touka’s companions. While running through the streets, Touka’s disembodied skull lands on her chest, prompting her to toss him away in disgust. Once his head and body are reunited, the fake hero informs her and Isaac that Leland Tallman kidnapped the princess. Touka questions whether or not he can avoid the death penalty if he can prove himself the real hero, but Siruela remains dismissive, as they already know he’s an impostor. He refuses to back down, proclaiming he will be the one to save Marguerite.

Siruela and Isaac pretend to be captured by Touka, who uses his skeletal appearance to pose as one of Leland’s skeleton zombies. While her acting skills are rather wooden, they manage to fool a guard at the enemy’s hideout, allowing them access. While she dislikes the fake hero’s underhanded methods, Siruela reluctantly acknowledges that he wasn’t lying about Doctor Leland’s involvement. Yuna then comes bursting through a wall with one of Leland’s hired accomplices bound in rope, allowing them a chance to pry him for information. Siruela agrees to spare Colin’s life in exchange for Princess Marguerite’s location, to which he immediately agrees.

While Touka and his companions prepare to rescue the princess, Siruela and Isaac remain hidden nearby, the former intrigued to see what Touka does and if he really can be a hero. While the new Hero’s Party manages to rescue Marguerite from the doctor, a group of devils emerges to attack, allowing Leland to flee. Siruela tells them to go after him and stays behind to fight the devils on her own. While the group outsmarts and captures Leland, Siruela is ultimately defeated by a high-ranking devil. The monster quickly catches up to the others, dropping the knight’s unconscious body at their feet. Princess Marguerite subsequently helps restore Sion’s body and revitalize Touka’s mana, allowing him to defeat the monster with a single hit.

The next day, Marguerite reveals that Siruela survived the battle, but would be in the hospital recovering for some time.

### Crisis in Farom

After Princess Marguerite sneaks away to join Touka’s party, Siruela receives word that a Necromancer may have been controlling the high-ranked devil and was likely supporting Leland’s activities as well. She notifies the new hero via a messenger bird, requesting he investigate the situation further, but Touka responds by blatantly refusing to get involved.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Colin Brad

Siruela first met her future husband as enemies during Leland Tallman’s plot to turn everybody in the capital into bones. While Colin was working as the mad doctor’s hired mercenary, Siruela offered to spare his life in exchange for the location of Princess Marguerite, to which he agreed immediately. He reforms after being saved by Touka a short time later and subsequently helps the new hero and his allies in the north. Colin and Neigan later aid Siruela in opposing the Roselia Kingdom’s military operations during Touka’s mission in Hell.

When Siruela discovers that King Larcvalt is an evil Necromancer, the king gives her a choice to continue serving him. She hesitates at first, prompting the evil ruler to dismiss her as disloyal. He attempts to cut her down, but Colin pushes Siruela out of the way and shields her with his body, pointing out that Larcvalt clearly doesn’t have any compassion for his people or his soldiers. Inspired by his words, Siruela refuses to remain in the king’s service, as she lives to protect the people of Farom. She then joins Touka and his allies in his plan to depose the evil ruling their country.

Following Larcalt’s defeat and Belarco’s ascension as the ruler of the world, Siruela, Colin, and Neigan become members of the new Yonkishi. Four years later, she is revealed to have married Colin and had a daughter. Touka mentions he expected her to marry Isaac or Fieri, though she claims she would rather spend her life alone than with either of them.

### Companions

#### Fieri Yunis

Formerly a member of the Yonkishi and her superior, Siruela is shown to dislike his perverted behavior, usually resulting in her lashing out at him every time they meet.

#### Neigan Bourne

The two originally met in passing when Neigan was working for Leland Tallman, though despite being on opposite sides at the time, they didn’t come into direct conflict with each other. Siruela later joined forces with Neigan and Colin in the north to combat the Roselia Kingdom’s military operations and aided Touka in his campaign to defeat the evil Necromancers secretly ruling Farom Kingdom. Following Larcvalt’s defeat and the rise of Belarco as the world’s new ruler, he joins her as one of the new Yonkishi.
