Miledi Reisen (ミレディ・ライセン, Miredi Raisen?) was a character who appears both "Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest" main series as a supporting character, and in the spin-off "Arifureta Zero" series as one of the main protagonists.
She was an Atavist, with the ability to use one of the Ancient Magic from the "Age of God". She was also the creator and caretaker of the Great Reisen Labyrinth in the Reisen Gorge. She was also one of the leaders of the "Liberators". She assigned Oscar Orcus and the other Liberators who use Age of Gods' magic to help create trials to test those who are worthy enough to carry out their legacy and obtain their Ancient Magic to slay Ehit and destroy his game of death forever.
Appearance
Initially, Miledi was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a petite figure.
As she reached her adulthood, Miledi had gotten 15 cm taller, and her baby face looked much more mature. She’d also let her hair down instead of keeping it in pigtails. At the end of her life, it had lost its golden luster and was quite wispy.
After the Liberators were defeated, Miledi had her soul transferred into the body of a small mechanical golem that had a smiley face and was dressed in bright robes.
Personality
When she was young, Miledi was an emotionless, expressionless, and a taciturn girl. She followed every order her father used to give her, and easily carried out the execution of countless convicts and heretics, by forcing them down the Reisen Gorge. She was nihilistic by believing that any actions that was in direct violation of the Holy Church's teachings were completely meaningless since all those who did so would all die.
Her personality slowly started to change, as she met a convict named Davy Consman, and then later Belta Lievre, who was a "Liberators", and had entered the Reisen Family as a maid using the name Belle, in order to rescue her comrades and other innocent convicts. Miledi's interaction with Belta slowly started to change her, and helped her push back against her restrictive family. Though Belta was eventually condemned and then later thrown into the Reisen Gorge for execution, Miledi went to rescue her but was too late. From that moment on, she decided to change herself and be free from any kind of bindings and restriction.
Later on, her personality as a teenager had developed to become quite similar to that of Belta, though more annoying. She even picked Belta's habit of nicknaming others she meets.
As Belta wished from her, Miledi kept on smiling through whatever trials and hardships she faced. While she might seem aloof on the outside, when needed she can be caring, charming and ruthless.
Miledi also had a very strong will that allowed her to push through any situation, and also gave her the drive to transfer her own soul to a Golem after the defeat of the "Liberators". With her new, ageless body she could wait for the right moment all alone, just for one last chance to fight back the God and save the world, even if she had to wait for thousands of years to do so.
Despite her upbeat and carefree attitude, Miledi knew when she had to act serious, and ws capable of presenting herself in a noble manner due to her past upbringing as the heir to the Reisen family.
