Slayers: Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun

More Slayers for you guys today. And she is my absolute favorite character of the series. Amelia is a young priestess and the princess of Seyruun. She longs to be a "hero of justice" and quixotically pursues her quest for justice by following Lina and fighting those who appear to be villains. Amelia's naive tendency to believe whatever she is told sometimes leads her to mistake friend and foe. In the novels, Amelia is the same age as Lina, but in the anime and manga franchise, Amelia is a year younger than Lina and smaller (though very busty, much to Lina's annoyance). Her perspective on good and evil evolves significantly as the series progresses. Although Lina is often annoyed with Amelia for her naivete, her desire to learn the Dragon Slave, and her larger bust size, eventually Lina comes to accept her as a friend and treats her like a little sister. Most of Amelia's lessons in justice and heroism came from her father Prince Philionel of Seyruun, the "ultimate pacifist". After the murder of her mother, Amelia vowed never to use blades, though she once used the Sword of Light to channel the Ra-Tilt. Naga the Serpent is Amelia's long-lost older sister, the crown princess Gracia. This is played to comedic effect in Slayers Evolution-R, with the amnesiac character "Nama" ironically alluding to the relation. Amelia becomes close friends with everyone in the group, but it is clear that early on she starts to develop feelings for Zelgadis. Their first meeting was not a very good one, but they become quite close as they tend to be paired during missions. Amelia teases him playing chess, or angrily beats him over his maltreatment of innocent forest animals, and gets away without so much as an angry glare. She refers to practically everyone else in the series with the honorific, -san, which is the equivalent of Miss or Mister in English. As always, I hope everyone here loves Amelia as much as I do.
