Belta Lievre (ベルタ・リエーブル, Beruta Riēburu?) was an Atavist who used to serve the Holy Church as its Divine Priestess, but after learning about the true nature of its god Ehit, she abandoned her work and help founded the "Liberators". She infiltrated the Reisen family as a maid named Belle (ベル, Beru?), and became the reason behind Miledi Reisen's change and eventually becoming a Liberator.

Appearance[]

Belta is a beautiful young woman with long red hair and red eyes.

Personality[]

As a child, Belta was an emotionless, expressionless, and taciturn girl. She was a firm believer of the Holy Church and would carry out her duties without reservation. Belta's faith in the church, however, disappeared after learning of Ehit's true nature before her first death. She is then devoted to creating a world that is free from the gods. She also develops a much more carefree personality while in private and tends to tease those that she is close too. This would later serve as the basis for Miledi Reisen personality change after she acts out so much while in her presence.

Background[]

Belta was born into the Lievre family of the Elbard Theocracy, who were archbishops for the Holy Church for many generations. Because she herself was a 'Atavist', she eventually reached the position of "Divine Priestess", which was the highest ranked position in the church (aside from the pope) and who directly received revelations from the church's god Ehit.

She followed her appointed duty without question, and saw how tons of people who could change their own fate and achieve happiness, were deprived from their future which got distorted because of the doctrines of the Church. Even after looking at all the unhappiness around her, Belta still believed in Ehit's will. All that changed on day, however, when she accidentally ended up seeing the fate of a person in the church's robes because of her unique magic.

Belta's prayer and Ehit's smirk

Rather, it was she couldn't see that person's future. All she could see was darkness, as if that person wasn't a human at all. This terrified her too much and she prayed in fear of it. At that moment, she received a revelation from Ehit, who said that she had seen too much. Hearing this confused her, but the next moment, when she returned to her senses, she found a shortsword sticking out of her chest. As she was losing consciousnesses because of the bleeding, she asked Ehit, "Why?". Ehit replied to her saying that he is free to do what he wants with his toys; at this point she lost consciousnesses.

Miraculously, Belta was still alive and covered in a rag behind a dark ally. She didn't know how she was saved from being dead, nor the identity of who saved her. The only thing she remembered was hearing the kind voice of a man telling her to run away. From that day onward, she lived as an orphan, having lost her special magic and most of her regular magic skills. As time passed, she slowly started gathering comrades to fight against the unfair world and Ehit. This would eventually lay the foundation for the ani-church organization, the "Liberators".

Belta final moment with young Miledi

Some time later, Belta infiltrated the Reisen family as a maid using the alias "Belle", in order to rescue her comrades and other prisoners that were condemned to be executed by them. She came in contact with Miledi Reisen during her mission and was assigned to properly educate her. While they two were together in private, Belta acted much more kind and playful around Miledi, and slowly started to change the young heiress. This eventually lead to her capture by the head of the Reisen family Colt Reisen, and who eventually threw her into the Reisen Gorge for her execution. Miledi would then dive in the gorge to rescue her, but was too late to rescue her, as the monsters had already started feasting on her. Miledi killed the monsters around and tried to heal her, but to no avail. Before her death, Belta asked Miledi to work together with others and also be a person who was free to do whatever they wished to, without being tied down, or being used as toys by others.

Belta would be buried in a simple hidden grave on a cliff in the northeastern part of the southern continent, between the Pale Forest and the Obsidian Tundra.

Legacy[]

Although the Liberators were ultimately defeated in the end, Belta's name would live on through the families of Sharm Barn and Naiz Gruen Caliente, who's children would be named after her.

Relationships[]

Miledi Reisen[]

Belta considers Miledi as her little sister, and also helps Miledi open up and be free from her binds. Before her execution, she informs Miledi of her life story, and also informs her about the true nature of Ehit.

Laus Barn[]

Although the two of them had never had a meaningful interaction, Belta had a strong impact on Laus. Hearing Belta's desire for people to live free lives inspired him to go against the Holy Church's philosophy, and eventually openly rebel against them by joining the Liberators.
