## Type of Requests

The usual types of requests done by each member of Rias' peerage are:

* **Rias Gremory**: Rias receives the least requests among her group due to the requirement that it has to be worthy of a High-class devil, such as herself. Therefore, her jobs include either removing curses from a cursed item, or defeating a certain monster because they are targeting a client.
* **Akeno Himejima**: Akeno's usual clients are either the bosses of huge corporations or rich wives, where she does a wide range of work that mostly consists of her taking away the stress of people living in the high society, from listening to their daily worries to drinking tea with them.
* **Koneko Toujou**: Koneko normally receives jobs ranging from being an opponent at playing cards to wearing a cosplay for a photo shoot.
* **Yuuto Kiba**: Yuuto's requests usually come from older women and working women who consult their stress with him or by having Yuuto cook for them.
* **Issei Hyoudou**: Issei commonly gets many weird requests from weird people.
* **Asia Argento**: Like Koneko, Asia usually receives jobs ranging from being an opponent at playing cards to wearing a cosplay for a photo shoot.
* **Gasper Vladi**: Gasper usually does his work from his computer where he interacts with people who are bad at interacting with others but have a wish that they want to be granted by a Devil.
* **Xenovia Quarta**: Xenovia mostly receives jobs that involve physical work, such as helping out in construction work or being a practice partner for various sports.
* **Rossweisse**: Rossweisse gets requests that are mainly from housewives where she does things like teaching them a way to make them lose their worries related to their finances and becoming their consultant. She also teaches them sure-fire methods to winning at bargain sales despite her young age.

## Trivia

* All three male members of Rias' peerage possess Sacred Gears.
	+ Before being reincarnated all three of them have suffered lethal injuries or died: Gasper was stated as dead and Kiba and Issei at least lost consciousness due to their fatal injuries before being reincarnated.
* In terms of popular choice of the Gremory Group that the Magicians want to make a pact with, it goes as follows: Rias Gremory → Rossweisse → Asia Argento → Issei Hyoudou → Yuuto Kiba → Akeno Himejima → Xenovia → Koneko Toujou → Gasper Vladi.
* Currently, among the eight members of Rias' peerage, the four with Sacred Gears (Issei, Asia, Gasper and Kiba) were brought back from death or near death through reincarnation. While the other four (Akeno, Xenovia, Koneko and Rossweisse) joined through their own volition.
* All the members of Rias' peerage that were traded to Issei were the members of her peerage that joined after him.
