**Xenovia Quarta** is one of the many female protagonists of *High School DxD*. She is a third-year high school student at Kuoh Academy in Class 3-B and is a natural-born Holy Sword user who wields the Durandal. After learning the truth of God's death in the war, she was excommunicated from the Church and decided to join the Occult Research Club as Rias' second Knight, alongside Yuuto. After Issei's promotion, she now serves under him as his first Knight and is also one of his wives.

## Appearance

Xenovia is a young woman with chin-length blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side and brown eyes (dark yellow in the anime, season 2-3). Her body measurements are [B87-W58-H88 cm] [B34-W23-H35 in], and her body weight is [56 kg] [123 lbs]. Xenovia's height 166 cm (5 feet 5 inches). She later grew to 170 cm (5 feet 7 inches) and 99cm and developed a particularly large and toned buttocks.

Her battle attire is her Church battle suit, which consists of a black, skin-tight, short sleeve leotard with pauldrons, matching fingerless gloves that extend to her biceps, and thigh-high boots, all of which are adorned with straps. This attire is worn under a white hooded cloak with gold and blue accents. She also wears a crucifix around her neck, which was later removed after becoming a Devil.

After joining Issei's peerage and during the Rating Games, Xenovia wears a uniform that consists of a red button top with a white tie and red shorts. She also wears a black waist cape as well as a purple cape over her left shoulder.

Upon transferring to Kuoh Academy and joining the Occult Research Club, she wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform but without the cape.

Her teaching attire consists of a short white sleeves buttoned shirt, black skirt, heels and glasses. Her top is often unbuttoned to give view to her breasts.

When serving as Issei’s bodyguard, she dons a black v string suit with a gray, transparent body suit, showcasing her curvaceous figure. She places Knight-based armor pieces on her arms, shoulders and legs along with fingerless gloves. Kuroka jokingly referred to it as her “Bikini Armor”.

## Personality

When Xenovia was first introduced, she was shown to have a calm, quiet, and serious demeanor, putting her mission first and only speaking when necessary. She was also very cold, bordering on heartless, as she called Asia a witch for becoming a Devil (even though she became one unwillingly so she could be with Issei) and even went so far as to try and kill her. She later threatened to do the same to Kiba when he was technically a Stray. After being reborn as a Devil, however, she gains a very close relationship with Asia, being touched by her kindness and apologizes for calling her a witch when they first met.

In battle, Xenovia appears to be a bit arrogant, stubborn, and rarely uses her head in attempting to overwhelm her opponents with pure power and strength instead of being subtle or using skills. According to Issei, her fighting style is comparable to that of a Rook despite being a Knight, referring to her as a "Power idiot". As Xenovia was raised in the Church, she lacks common knowledge on the life of a normal person, evident when she brought a box of condoms to school as well as wanting to give birth to strong children, and has chosen Issei as her mate.

As the series progresses, it is shown that Xenovia has developed genuine romantic feelings towards Issei due to him protecting his comrades even if he gets injured by doing so. As a result, she becomes more aggressive in seducing him, which proves that Xenovia is quite perverted as well, a fact that she is "cool" with. She even considers herself to be his de facto protector, often volunteering to be his bodyguard whenever possible.

While a faithful member of the Church, her beliefs are flexible enough to accept help from a Dragon such as receiving a free lunch (after Irina spent all their money on a fake painting of a Saint) and wanting to not only accomplish their mission but survive afterward as well. Although Xenovia started off harsh when concerning issues such as Asia who was a former Nun dubbed a Witch for healing a devil, she has since become more open-minded about with her beliefs as she deeply sympathized with Masaomi for being unable to be with Cleria and even shed tears for him even in battle conflicting her serious nature in combat and even held onto him after Rizevim killed him.

Her most notable characteristics are her intense lust and utter shamelessness. She has little, if any, in regards to her sexuality or sex in general, thinking about it constantly even during serious situations. Like Akeno, She has an extremely high sex drive that leave many in awe and allows her to discuss or engage in almost anything sexual if she is curious about it. Akeno even states that her lust like is more akin to a Fallen Angel’s as opposed to a Devil. This extends to her personal life as she typically gives advice to her friends, peerage and even her son, encouraging him to build a harem and experiment.

Her lust typically gets the better of her, as she began indulging in weekly orgies in her mansion when the girls began branching off. When learning how distant she became with Issei, she became depressed and developed an extreme sense of self-loathing, thinking she betrayed him. She believed that she no longer deserved his kindness or to be his wife or the mother of his child, let alone his Knight. They later reconnected and grew better at controlling her sexual urges.

Upon learning the truth of her past, Xenovia was plagued with insecurities, secretly believing she exists to be a weapon and little else, questioning whether or not her achievements meant anything at all. She slowly overcame these insecurities with the help of her loved ones after being subjugated to her nightmares within her own mind.

## History

Federico and Bianca were two Exorcists within the Church, later falling in love and marrying in secret, eventually having Xenovia. When the higher ups found out, they tracked them down and executed them but spared Xenovia as they learned she could naturally wield Holy Swords.

Since her childhood, she has endeavored in her training and studies for God and her religion. She was also raised and trained as the wielder of Durandal under Griselda Quarta as her sword master and legal guardian. Eventually, she becomes an exorcist, an agent of the Catholic Church, and partnered with Irina Shidou.

After Xenovia's life was put in danger three years prior to the series, because of her formerly long hair in a mission with Irina to exterminate a stray vampire from the House of Manthar, she chose to cut her long hair to prevent that kind of thing from happening again. She also dyed a part of her hair green for fashion.

## Powers & Abilities

**Demonic Power:** Xenovia has all the powers and abilities common to Devils, including the power to cast spells.

**Natural-born Holy Sword Wielder:** Xenovia is a natural-born holy sword wielder and capable of wielding any holy sword without artificial means like Irina. Even reincarnated as a Devil, Xenovia is still able to wield any holy sword without any issues.

**Enhanced Strength:** Due to her years of training in the church, Xenovia gained superb arm strength, able to wield very heavy swords like Excalibur Destruction and Durandal with ease. After being reincarnated into a devil, her natural strength has been increased too.

**Immense Speed:** Xenovia is able to move at superhuman speeds. She combines her speed with Durandal's destructive powers, making her a formidable fighter. Her speed is further enhanced by her Knight piece. However, Xenovia is considerably slower than Yuuto due to her being power-oriented as opposed to the technique-oriented Yuuto. When further combined with the Excalibur Rapidly, her speed is enhanced and she can move as fast as Masaomi. During her match against Issei, she managed to keep up with him in DxD.

**Immense Stamina:** Xenovia has massive amounts of stamina and endurance. She was durable enough to confront Nero at the end of their match. She can still muster enough strength to use Cross Crisis enhanced by Crimson Destruction Dragonar. Her bedrooom stamina is stated to be on par, if not equal, to Issei’s.

**Master Swordswoman:** Xenovia is a highly skilled swordswoman later revealed to prefer to dual wield. She was able to fight on par with Kiba in their initial match (albeit not in his right state of mind) and Freed Sellzen wielding Excalibur Destruction. Xenovia, however, is weak in technique when compared to Kiba preferring to use power in all her attacks. She has started to improve her skills as time progressed and it was even stated that if she were to master Ex-Durandal, then she could combat the True Longinus' Balance Breaker and surpass Kiba. It is stated by Azazel that her power is equal to that of a High-class Devil. In Volume 19, after fighting Strada, she returned to her dual-wielding style and went back on the power aspect of her fighting style. In Volume 25, by using Scabbard of Excalibur, Xenovia was able to keep up with Apollon, God of Sun. After defeating Vasco Strada and the Evie War, she was officially recognized as a Super Devil. She managed to battle and even defeat Arthur in the final match of the Azazel Cup. At the peak of her power, she can take on Gods that range in the lower sections of the **Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.**

* **Weapons Master:** After her extensive training with Batman, Nightwing and Deathstroke, Xenovia became a master of several known melee weapons, ranging from spears, scythes, axes, etc. She often mixes her weaponry in the middle of a battle via Excalibur Mimic and demonstrated so in a sparring match against Wonder Woman

* + **Expert Markswoman:** Her weapons mastery extends to firearms. She is proficient in pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns and explosives. She typically integrates gunplay into her fighting style to offset the enemy

**Master Hand to Hand Combatant:** At first, Xenovias martial prowess consisted of a brawler style of fighting but was later refined under Wonder Woman and the Batfamily tutelage’s. She became skilled enough to contend with several of Monguls warriors on the War World and Wonder Woman in a sparring match. During their Rating Game match, Issei said he wouldn’t be able to beat her in direct hand to hand combat, putting him on the defensive.

**Expert Tactician:** Despite her initial reputation as a power idiot, Xenovia grew into a skilled tactician, although she states brute force is a big part of her style. She devised a plan to quickly defeat Cao Cao and his team and used the Excalibur variants to counter his True Longinus. When put into difficult situations, she is able to alter her plans quickly and take command of her group.

**Magic:** Xenovia can use magic to store away Durandal in another dimension and summon it back when she needs it. She later added fire and wind magic to her repertoire. Rossweisse has stated that magic is arguably her weakest trait.

**Praying:** Xenovia is one of the two Devils, the other being Asia, that can pray to God without receiving damage in the form of a headache after Issei made a request to Michael to allow her to pray to God.

**Flight:** As a Devil, Xenovia can fly using her wings.

## Equipment

**Durandal** III(デュランダル, *Dyurandaru*): Xenovia's main weapon, a unique-shaped single-edged blue broadsword that has a golden edge. It is a unique sword, to the point that it responds to the user, for her, Durandal releases a massive aura, which has destructive powers. Xenovia later learned that she can transfer Durandal's aura into another holy sword, as proven when she channeled its holy aura inside Ascalon.

* **Durandal Birth:** A combination technique between Xenovia and Yuuto, where she channels its holy aura to Yuuto, who would unleash his sacred gear creating multiple holy demonic swords covered in the holy aura of Durandal directed at their targets.
* **Durandal Cannon** (デュランダル・キャノン, *Dyurandaru Kyanon* ): This is a technique that has been dubbed as such by Issei, in which, Xenovia charges the holy aura of Ex-Durandal, then unleashes the aura as one powerful attack, which can devour her opponents. However, a drawback is that after a single use, it has to be charged up again, but it's not as fast after the first time.
* **Cross Crisis** (クロス・クライシス *Kurosu Kuraishisu*): This is a new technique that Xenovia named in their fight against Walburga, in which, she uses Durandal and True Excalibur to augment each other's holy aura before unleashing a powerful cross-shaped attack powerful enough to split apart the purple flamed Yamata no Orochi whose soul had been used for Walburga's *Incinerate Antiphon Calvario*.

**Excalibur** (エクスカリバー, *Ekusukaribā*): Xenovia's second weapon. She was able to materialize the original True Excalibur, through merging the all the seven fragments into a single one instead of a single fragment, allowing her to wield the true blade itself.

* **Excalibur's Scabbard** (エクスカリバーの鞘, *Ekusukaribā no Saya*): The legendary Scabbard of Excalibur, which emits holy aura similar to a normal holy sword was originally sealed in an underground ruin. This makes Xenovia essentially immortal, healing wounds suffered from even a god-class being, however, this has its limits, but it allowed her to endure the light-based attacks of the Chief-God, Apollon despite being a devil and entrapped in a light cage.

**Crimson Destruction Dragonar** (Template:Furigana): Also known as **Crimson Dragon Knight of Destruction** is Xenovia's variation of the Scale Mail, where Issei uses his Red Wyverns to attach themselves to her and syncs their auras to create a red armor for herself. Using this armor, her strength and speed are increased to where a single swing of Durandal was powerful enough to leave a large crater even changing the terrain and fast enough to outpace even Nero. It is unknown if Xenovia can use **Boost**, **Transfer**, and **Penetrate** as it noted to be similar yet different from Rias' Crimson Extinct Dragonar.

**Ascalon III:** An upgraded version of Ascalon given to her to by Heaven. According to her, it is capable of dealing harm to a Heavenly Class Dragon.

**Knight Piece (Mutation)** (騎士の駒, *Kishi no koma*): Xenovia was reincarnated using a Knight Piece, which enhances her speed, making her faster than an average person. It is noted that while she gained increased speed, her power-type fighting style leaves her slower then other technique-type Knights such as Yuuto or Bennia. Her Knight Piece later became a Mutation Piece

### Formerly

**Excalibur Destruction** (): Xenovia's initial weapon. A Holy Sword that has the ability to unleash pure, destructive power that can easily shatter anything it comes into contact with. Xenovia abandons the sword after she became a Devil under Rias. However, the sword was later returned to her and fused with Durandal to form Ex-Durandal.

**Ascalon** (アスカロン, *Asukaron*): Issei's weapon, Xenovia borrows the sword occasionally in order to tap the Durandal's aura into the Ascalon. After gaining the Ex-Durandal, Xenovia no longer borrows the sword from Issei.

**Ex-Durandal** (エクスデュランダル, *Ekusu-Dyurandaru*): This is an upgraded version of Durandal, which has been merged with all six Excalibur fragments held by the Church before Xenovia gains the last one in Volume 11, thus granting it the powers of Durandal and Excalibur with Kiba stating she would be able to combat even Cao Cao in balance breaker if she were to master it. Xenovia, however, partially mastered Ruler, Blessing, and Nightmare. In Volume 19, in the battle against Vasco Strada, she accepted the true nature of Durandal and Excalibur, thus letting Xenovia dual-wield both the Durandal and True Excalibur
