Ram is Rem's older twin sister and one of the maids working for Margrave Roswaal L. Mathers. She has played supporting roles in every arc except for Arc 1 and Arc 5. Originally, Ram was born into the Oni Tribe with a single horn and displayed exceptional talent and strength which resulted in the village referring to her as the reincarnation of the Oni God. However, after an attack orchestrated by the Witch Cult, she lost her horn and, together with her sister, was saved by Roswaal L. Mathers. In return, Ram swore to help Roswaal in his own endeavors, pledging to help him kill the Divine Dragon, and as she started to fall in love with the Margrave, she harbored the intent to destroy him: his desires, wishes, and feelings, intending to take him away.[5] She’s 5’1/2 Appearance Ram has medium length light pink hair that covers her left eye, large darkish red eyes, and young features. She also has hair clips towards the right side of her hair, flower-shaped ribbon on the same side of her hair, and a black-white floral hairband, which is connected to the ribbon. She looks nearly identical to her sister Rem, apart from her hair, eyes, and ribbon coloring. She usually wears a maid uniform. She has a smaller chest compared to her sister, and she has slanted eyes. At times, she also wears a white hooded robe for when she is traveling on her own. She also has a uniform for colder days, which covers her shoulders, has longer sleeves, fluffier cuffs around the wrists, and a pair of pink earmuffs.

In Arc 6, Arc 7, and Arc 8 Ram wears a long-sleeved aqua-green dress with white frills at the hem of the long skirt, aqua-green boots, brown corset with three belts (two in the anime), black leggings, and an aqua-green cloak with a white design on the hood to protect her from the sands of the Augria Sand Dunes, while still wearing the hair clips, the ribbon and the hairband. From Arc 9 onward, however, she returned to wearing her maid uniform.(this is the outfit ram wears in the scenario the one from and 6-7-8

When she was young, she wore a white kimono and a pair of zoris, a native dress to the onis, and her hair was the same as in the present day.[6][7] After joining Roswaal Manor's staff, she started to don a maid uniform that matched her size. At one point, during a Tammuz Festival, she wore a pink dress for her maid uniform, complete with a bejeweled tiara that Roswaal had bought for her.[8] Personality Ram is seemingly self-centered, sardonic, and does things at her own pace. However, in actuality, she maintains a distance from people to ascertain them. She is slightly more outgoing in comparison to the generally taciturn Rem, who generally allows Ram to take the lead in their sisterly bond. Her sardonic remarks are her way of teasing others. While she's cold and snarky outwardly, she is caring of others around her deep down, and she is surprisingly kind and forgiving towards others. At the same time, however, she dislikes being told to stand back by others during battles and instead prefers to fight for herself.[9] Even at a young age, she showed a level of wisdom that was beyond the adults,[10] which had nothing to do with age or readiness,[11] was fully aware of her outstanding position, did not care about the restoration of her tribe,[12][13] felt that it would be troublesome if she was put in a position of importance,[14] and didn't open up to anyone other than Rem.[15] Despite this, she did feel vengeful toward the ones who destroyed her village, and she swore retribution on them,[16] which she and Rem ultimately achieved.

While Ram tends to come off as rather lazy in her work as a maid, often seen taking breaks and doing a shoddy job with whichever task she is given, in truth, her body, which is constantly experiencing pain from the severance of her horn, prevents her from doing too many physical tasks.[17] Because of this, she does whatever work she physically can, which includes completing documents related to the affairs of the Mathers Domain whenever Roswaal in unable to, though she keeps this a secret from her sister. Also, when she was young, she often experienced impulses driving her to fight and kill, and those impulses only got stronger as she aged and got more powerful. She resisted them for a long time until the day that her horn was severed from her, which effectively ended those impulses. Despite the pain that comes with the loss of her horn and the restraint of most of her strength behind "shackles", however, she actually believed that it was a good thing, which she affirmed during her battle with Lye Batenkaitos, when she realized her impulse to kill would be far too hard to resist if they had remained.

Throughout her life, even as early as shortly after her birth, Ram was extremely protective of her sister, Rem. Because of her sheer genius and her position in the Oni Tribe, she recognized Rem's inferiority complex and often did everything she could to include her in various small tasks like cooking, and she did everything she could to protect her. Even as her village was destroyed, her priority was saving her sister over the other members of the clan. Likewise, she even decided to serve Roswaal to protect her, as she was aware of Roswaal's knowledge of the attack on their village and his effective use of her as a shackle to her sister. Initially, she did find him suspicious. As time passed, this hatred eventually shifted to more complicated feelings, which is why she chose to help him achieve his goal while simultaneously claiming to destroy his desires, wishes, and feelings, having even attempted to kiss him after a mere three months of knowing the man. After she lost memories of Rem, everything that complicated their relationship vanished, which transformed those feelings into outright love, and in that love, she would be willing to do everything she could to set the man on the right path, even if it means getting in the way of his dream or exposing herself to danger by his hands.

During times of emergency, Ram has a tendency to hide her worry and concern under her usual demeanor, consistently acting as though she was unbothered. Despite this, when information reaches her ears regarding those she is worried about, she has no issue pointing her wand at someone she is friendly with, claiming that if they were to get in her way that she would kill them regardless of who they are, such as when she was confronting Serena Dracroy when Rem and Subaru were in Vollachia. Likewise, in times of extreme stress, she will become very emotional and act in denial. When Subaru, whom she often relies on and places a considerable amount of trust in, and who was the only person who remembered her sister after her name and memories were devoured by Gluttony, lost his memories, she confronted him while not believing him, claiming that it was an act, and even when he told her that it was not an act, she was immensely shaken, yelled at him, and held him against the wall in frustration. In one failed loop, she even flew into a murderous rage when she believed he was an impostor. She herself has acknowledged the flaws of her character in an emotional conversation she had with Rem, once her memories of the latter were restored in a failed loop.

ADVERTISEMENT History The Oni Sisters of the Hidden Village

Immediately after their birth, Setanta, the chieftain of the Oni Tribe, decided to kill the Rem and Ram for being born as twins. After Ram displayed her power and prevented him from killing them, however, the onis knelt and saw her as the reincarnation of the oni god. Growing up, Ram was shown to have prodigious talent for combat, mana manipulation, and even excelled in other matters, such as cooking, and the onis showered her in adoration. She would often be taken out on hunts to kill witchbeasts and participate in meetings with the adults. However, she always found such meetings boring and pointless, and she never let any the attention toward her get to her head, never forgetting her little sister and only opening up to her. One day, when Rem awoke and panicked when she saw that her sister was not with her, Rem raced off and eventually found Ram, who reassured her. Afterward, Ram felt a visitor had approached the village and went to confront him. Meeting an old giant who claimed to know and wanted to meet with Setanta, Ram, who was wary of him, took him to meet the chief. After meeting with him, Setanta introduced the man as Cromwell, though the giant claimed he now went by Rom. Though Setanta ordered Rem to go home and Ram to stay behind, Ram harshly refused and left with Rem, leaving Setanta and Rom to talk to each other. Though Rem was concerned if Ram was okay to do that, Ram reassured her, and after using her magic to deal with a chore, the two went to play and collect yams for steamed potatoes, and Rem forgot Ram’s serious expression as she pondered the meaning of the meeting. When they returned to the village, they came across an angry Setanta and Rom, who had apparently declined Setanta’s request. With Rom leaving and telling Setanta not to treat Ram as a kid only when it was convenient, he left the village, telling the girls to be good sisters.

Sometime later, the Witch Cult attacked her village, killing everyone and burning it to the ground. During the attack, Ram was the last one standing and slaughtered numerous Witch Cultists, and she went to protect Rem, who had emerged from their house and was about to be attacked. However, as an explosion threatened to kill Rem, Ram grabbed her and leapt away. Taking injuries as she continued fighting, she was eventually faced with one of the men, Faust, who prepared to kill them. As he swung, Ram stood in front of Rem to protect her, and her horn was severed. Rem, who had felt jumbled emotions of both slight joy and extreme guilt, passed out from the shock. Ram, despite her injuries, managed to grab Rem and run, escaping the men. However, they eventually collapsed on the mountain road, where Roswaal L. Mathers discovered them on the way to their village. Upon meeting Ram, who asked to save Rem, Roswaal asked what she could offer him, to which she offered herself, saying that she couldn't make decisions for Rem.

When Rem next awoke, she was in Roswaal Manor, and Ram, whose face was pale, was next to her. Recalling what happened to the village, she was despondent. Then, a maid, Frederica Baumann, appeared in the room to retrieve Ram, introducing herself and slightly startling Rem with her teeth, which made them both feel guilty. As Frederica scolded Ram and mentioned her broken horn, the memories of what happened at the end of the attack on the oni village ran through Rem's mind, and in her panic, her horn protruded from her head and she thrashed around, forcing Ram and Frederica to hold her down. After Ram bit down on her horn and made her pass out, Ram passed out beside her, leaving the indignant Frederica to deal with the mess. A little while later, Rem was brought to Ram's room, where she saw Ram writhing in pain as her mana was running wild and locked down to the bed. After being told that Ram had been holding this in until after she saw Rem was okay, Rem ran back to her room, where she begged Roswaal to save Ram. Like with Ram, he asked what Rem could offer him in return, to which she offered herself. Pleased with her response, he muttered that taking the sizes for the maid outfits should be left to Clind, and he went to deal with Ram's rampaging mana. Later, when Ram awoke, she and Rem spoke, with Rem revealing that she offered herself to serve Roswaal. Ram, who realized that they were being toyed with, explained that she did the same for Rem, making Rem happy. Afterward, the two embraced, and with Ram claiming that the men who destroyed their village got away, she decided to claim retribution on them, and Rem, who wasn't particularly sorrowful about the destruction of their village, agreed.

Later, Clind prepared maid outfits for Ram and Rem. Ram notes how there are almost exclusively demi-humans working for Roswaal, to which Frederica explained that Roswaal took in demi-humans with nowhere to go, and he gave them a job and an education without asking for anything in return. They notice how it was different for Rem and Ram, which Frederica suspects is because the sisters would have rushed out of the manor otherwise, which Ram could not refute. Over the following month, the two were taught by Frederica and Clind how to speak and act as a servant and a basic education. However, it is also discovered that the loss of Ram's horn interfered with Ram's work. One day, when Ram interrupted a conversation between Rem and Roswaal, she and Rem left the room. Ram noticed Rem's formal speech, which had become a habit, and the two spoke about their relationship with Roswaal. As they walked, however, Rem got lost in her thoughts, and when Ram called out to her, she spoke formally again, something which worried Ram. Another month passed, and in the time the two were at the manor, they had seen numerous servants go to work at other mansions once they were confirmed to have received satisfactory education. One day, Roswaal prepared to set off for the Sanctuary, intent on bringing Ram with him. Soon after, after convincing the two it was for their own good to be separated for a time, he and Ram left for the Sanctuary, Frederica giving a letter to Ram to give to her brother, Garfiel. When Roswaal and Ram returned, after they saw the aftermath of the battle between Rem and Fogg, Ram stuck by Rem's side, and when Rem later awoke, Ram asleep nearby, she spoke with Roswaal, claiming that she would act as Ram's horn and substitute.

Another month later, Roswaal, Frederica, Ram, and Rem visited the Royal Capital, which was celebrating the Tammuz Festival, to buy a gift to celebrate the birth of child of House Miload. Deciding to split up to search for a gift, Roswaal took Ram with him while Frederica took Rem, and the two decided to meet up again later. During their time apart, Roswaal bought new clothes for Ram and gave her a new wand fashioned from her horn. When the two groups reunited, they discussed the possible plans that the Witch Cult were scheming, as Frederica and Rem discovered magical miasma stones. Deciding to split again, Roswaal and Ram went to alert the capital's guardsmen while Frederica beastified and took Rem with her to look for the scattered stones, which Ram had predicted the locations of. Eventually, Ram noticed Sado attempting to flee, and connecting to Rem with her Clairvoyance and Synesthesia, she used her new wand to snipe Sado and sever his limbs. Afterward, Roswaal complimented her, though he also showed concern, mentioning their promise.

Ten days later, Roswaal brought Rem and Ram to the Miload Manor, where they met the pregnant Grace Miload, Roswaal's excuse for bringing them being that they ought to see childbirth for themselves, and his continued interactions with Grace made Ram grumpy. After a short conversation, Rem and Ram went to another room, where, after a different conversation about being unable to kill time and how Rem did so in the village, interacted with the servants of the manor. Three days later, Dudley Miload was late in returning to the manor, and when a young man arrived to tell everyone that the carriage broke down, Roswaal and Rem went to retrieve him, leaving Ram to keep Grace company. A short while later, Ram had noticed something wrong and ordered the nearby Limrear to take Grace and prepare to move just as the manor trembled. Claiming it was the Witch Cult, one that she was familiar with, after looking through the dying eyes of the servants, she led the two to another room while simultaneously using Clairvoyance. Scared, Limrear led the group into a certain room, where they came across several corpses of servants. At the same time, Grace's water broke, so Ram told Limrear to take Grace into the room and help her deliver the baby while she went to hold off the Witch Cultist, Faust. As the man began to smoke his leaf tobacco, Ram attacked him, dodging his explosions by sensing the disturbance in mana. Although she didn't do lasting damage, she used Al Fura try and kill him, destroying the hallway in the process. However, Faust managed to avoid the worst of it with his wind reading skills. Grabbing her by the throat, he intended to throw her into the explosive traps set in the garden, only for Rem to appear and hit him in the head with her morningstar. With Ram on her back, the two avoided the explosions, and Rem struck him. When he attempted a sneak attack, she managed to counter him, and she struck him numerous times while piercing through the upper floors. After pushing through the roof, Rem struck the man and sent him flying into the explosive traps, and when Ram threw his burning leaf tobacco into it, they went off, reducing the man to ash.

Later, Roswaal returned, having killed the Witch Cultists and brought Sergei back for the twins to kill. Afterward, Limrear appeared, saying that the baby had been born but that Grace didn't have much time left. In the room she was in, several bloody rags were nearby, and the baby was in the arms of a servant. Waking Grace, she gave her baby the name Annerose, and she asked Roswaal to take care of her. Dying, she said that she loved Roswaal, and she laughed when he returned her words, saying he was a bad liar. In the end, she died, leaving the servants to cry. After this, Roswaal became Annerose's guardian, and House Miload was put under his control. Many of the remaining servants who survived resigned, and Roswaal decided to have Clind and Frederica serve at House Miload, with Roswaal choosing to have his hobby of taking care of and training demi-human servants being performed at the Miload Manor and by those two. One night, after giving them this task, he spoke with Ram, who believed that he set up the whole affair to give the girls their retribution, and she asked if the sacrifices of Dudley and Grace was worth it. When Roswaal claimed that he would sacrifice anyone for his goal, Ram told him that she would help him achieve his goal, attempting to kiss him while doing so, only for Roswaal to stop her. Pouting, Ram said that she would destroy him: his goals, desires, and emotions. A year later, Rem and Ram visited the Oni village's grave and performed their funeral rites with alcohol given to them by Roswaal.

Shortly after her first visit to the Sanctuary with Roswaal, Ram met Garfiel, who was immediately infatuated and attempted to propose to her twice. However, she rejected him both times, and he continued to have a crush on her. During one of her later visits to the Sanctuary, Garfiel asked why she was working with Roswaal when he didn't really need her assistance. Although she initially joked that Rem was held hostage, she told him that it was more like she had become Rem's shackle. Seeing her sad, Garfiel decided to start studying and reading to help get rid of what made Ram sad. One night, having found an appa, he intended to give it to Ram, but he found Roswaal giving Ram mana. Not understanding what was happening, he unconsciously beastified for the first time and attacked Roswaal but was handily knocked out. When he later awoke to see Ram, she told him what happened and said he needed to get control of it before explaining her circumstances about her severed horn. From then, Garfiel decided to become strong, and afterward, he asked her to marry him many times.

Garfiel and Ram's Complicated Love Affair

A short time after Roswaal brought Emilia to Roswaal Manor, Roswaal and Ram visited the Sanctuary. Garfiel, finding the talk between Roswaal and Ryuzu boring, left the conversation to talk to Ram. After a short conversation about Garfiel's willingness to continue chasing after Ram, despite her love being for Roswaal, he asked for an explanation for their unusual visit, to which Ram told him about Emilia being brought to the manor and the potential involvement of the Sanctuary. Ram gave her impression of Emilia as lacking in every manner, though she didn't give a final conclusion since she hadn't been given the chance to learn anything, and Garfiel realized that Roswaal intended to back her in the Royal Selection for his own schemes, which angered Garfiel and made him question if he'd gone mad. Before he could transform, Ram calmed him down, and soon after Roswaal appeared, saying they wouldn't be staying for long.

Garfiel and Ram's Really Complicated Love Affair

One day later on, intending to let her see the "White Snow Sakura", Ram brought Rem to the Sanctuary. After Rem went to speak to Ryuzu, Ram spoke with Garfiel about why she was there without Roswaal. When Rem returned, she sent Garfiel flying away and started talking with Ram. After Garfiel quickly recovered, he and Rem started to argue, and the sisters playfully complained about Garfiel finding out about what they were there for. Ram worried about how Rem rarely got to act herself, though their worry made her dismiss the thought. Eventually, the arrived at their destination, and the twins were mesmerized by the sight of the trees covered in white flowers. They eventually sat down to eat, and after a moment, Garfiel passed out of Ram's shoulder. After learning from Rem that Rem and Garfiel had actually worked together to bring Ram here, she moved his head to her lap and ran her hand through his hair in gratitude. After a few moments, however, she moved Garfiel so that the jealous Rem could lay her head on her lap instead.

ADVERTISEMENT Ram's Flirting Refusal

On the day of Subaru's summoning, Roswaal sent Ram with Emilia to the Royal Capital, and shortly after, they got separated from each other, leading to Ram searching for her. As she searched, she met a helmeted man, Al, who was searching for his own master, Priscilla Barielle. However, the discussion ended quickly, and Ram decided to leave, to which the man replied "Well, goodbye, Ram..." with a nostalgic voice. Though she questioned how he knew her name, the man was gone, and she continued her search for Emilia. Shortly after, she was confronted by the three thugs, Ton, Chin, and Kan, who she quickly dispatched. Leaving the area, she bore witness to bright lights coming from the direction of the slums, and with a good feeling, she headed that way. Arriving at her destination at the aftermath of the Loot House Incident, she found Emilia and a teenage boy in her arms. After this, they returned to Roswaal Manor to have the boy healed.

Ram and the Night Study Group

One night, as Ram attempted to teach Subaru the alphabet of their world, Subaru was doing poorly, leading Subaru to complain about the difficulty of learning something new in a short time. Challenging Ram to attempt to do the same, he made a bet with her about who would be able to learn faster during that night, either him learning glyphs or Ram learning Japanese writing, saying that in case he lost, she could be stricter as a teacher. If she lost, Ram would have to be kinder and less strict with him, a bet that she accepted with pride. At the end of the night, Subaru gave her an exam with questions that Ram could easily answer after studying Japanese, much to Subaru's shock and frustration as now she would be harsher in his lessons. After leaving Subaru's room, Ram had a funny feeling that she had already seen all those Japanese characters somewhere else,[18] but she quickly dismissed it and went to bed shortly after.

Rem's Latte Art

The next evening, Ram found Rem alone in the dining room still attempting to draw something good with the latte art that Subaru had taught her about earlier that day. Ram picked one cup and, on her first try, drew the symbol of "older sister" in Japanese that she had learned from Subaru the night before. Rem was amazed that her sister managed this and could be so incredible, getting sad that she failed as well. Before leaving, Rem tasted the coff and found out it is really bad, deciding to teach Subaru how to brew it properly first before playing with it next time.

ADVERTISEMENT The World Petra Saw

The day after Subaru saved Petra and the other children from the Wolgarms, Ram was the one who met them when they visited the manor to see Subaru. She escorted them to his room, where he was still unconscious from his injuries and bore witness as they wrote on his bandages and as Petra froze before running off in guilt.

Ram's Older Sister Heart is Complicated

After the Wolgarm Incident, Rem started to become very attached to Subaru, something that began to disturb Ram over time. She grew harsher toward Subaru due to this. Although she had always wished that someone would appear to curb Rem's insecurities and make her truly smile again, she felt disgusted to think that person as being Subaru. While inspecting the work Subaru had been dealing with while being annoyed by these thoughts, she overworked herself in an effort to be better than Subaru, resulting in her collapsing in front of him. This caused Subaru to take care of Ram in her room since Rem was too busy to do so, much to Ram's annoyance. In the end, Rem visited after finishing her chores and noticed that Ram slept while holding Subaru's hand, saying that this rare scene must be because she finally accepted Subaru, with Subaru replying that he wasn't so sure since she had insulted him from the beginning to the very last minute until she asked to hold hands before sleeping.

The Head Maid's Unrestful Holiday

Noticing how hard Rem worked, Subaru spoke with the other residents of Roswaal Manor, and he proposed that she take a day off. Despite the slight opposition of the others, he was able to persuade them to agree after saying that she could use the day off to think about what she wanted as her reward for her participation in the Wolgarm Incident, and when Rem herself was reluctant to take a day off, Subaru told her to take the day off directly, and she agreed to his command immediately. Afterward, everyone decided on which jobs they would handle to make up for not having Rem’s help and split up to handle their respective tasks.

Despite the time off, Rem became anxious at essentially doing nothing, and deciding to check in on everyone, she snuck out of her room. Particularly concerned about her sister, Rem arrived at the kitchen, where she overheard Ram complaining to Roswaal about Subaru’s idea to have him participate in the housework. However, Roswaal was fine participating and even claimed that Subaru’s idea wasn’t misguided. As Rem decided to leave, she noticed Roswaal had noticed her and quietly thanked him for not saying anything. The next morning, as she cared for Ram, she noticed that Rem was rather happy, which she attributed to her day off. After greeting Subaru when he awoke and some small banter, when he asked if she had an idea for her reward, she claimed she already got it, which she believed was everything that happened the day prior.

ADVERTISEMENT Emilia and Ram's Bumpy Master-Servant Relationship

One night, Ram found Emilia trying to sing with a bucket over her head in the silent of the night, much to her confusion. Emilia asked Ram if she remembered her singing from a meal that they had a little while prior, and Emilia sadly admitted that she needed a bit of improvement when singing, so she mentioned that she was using the bucket on her head to hear her own voice better and notice where she was failing, as per Subaru's suggestion. Ram, at first, did not take Emilia seriously and was annoyed by her ingenuity, but she remembered that these characteristics reminded her of Rem, and she offered to help Emilia until she got better. Later that night, Ram stated that Emilia's singing improved a bit, deserving a 9 out of 100, and her prior attempts were too bad to give a rating at all. Regardless, Ram said she would keep her word and attempt to help Emilia as a teacher night after night in this very long road of learning how to sing.

Emilia and Ram's Very Bumpy Master-Servant Relationship

During one of their singing lessons in a soundproof room, Ram noticed that Emilia was not performing well at all and asked what was disturbing her. Emilia mentioned that she wished to find a way to properly reward Subaru for all he had done and asked Ram what should she do, since she didn't believe that the rewards he asked for were enough. The girls started to gossip about what the best reward to give would be. The next day, Ram brought Subaru to the dinner table, and Emilia presented steamed potatoes made with mayonnaise to him, a dish she proudly announced as the efforts of herself and Ram, much to Ram's annoyance, as she didn't want Emilia to reveal she helped at all. Later that night, Rem spoke with Ram about this event and said she was a bit jealous of being left out. After Rem left, Ram angrily comments while grinding her teeth that Subaru was unforgivable.

Some Like it Cold

One morning, due to the excessive cold, Ram had slept in, and over the next couple of days, it continued to drop in temperature. After discovering that the cold was due to Puck, a meeting was then held in the dining room, where it was explained that the cause for the cold weather was because of Puck's magical release period. Due to Subaru's ignorance of the concept of Od, Beatrice elucidated the subject to him. When asked about the sudden surge in cold weather, Puck answered that it was due to the fact that he figured he could get away with upping the magical exertion. After formally apologizing to Subaru, Emilia asked Puck how much longer this cold weather will last. Puck answered that it would be another two days before it ended. Emilia also revealed that due to having a contract with Puck, she had become immune to cold temperatures. Though Subaru attempts to come up with ideas to order to pass the cold, each of his ideas was refuted.

Back in the dining room, Subaru and Ram huddled by the fireplace. When Roswaal and Beatrice were asked about how they dealt with their surplus of Od, they revealed their respective methods. It is also revealed that Rem doesn't have enough magical energy the needed to have a magic release period, while Emilia maintained hers quite easily thanks to Puck. Subaru then asked when the last time Puck used his energy to his heart's content, which Puck claimed was during the fights with Elsa and Roswaal months prior, something of which Roswaal and Puck reminisced on. Sometime later, Subaru, Rem, and Emilia left to collect firewood. During this, Subaru comes up with the idea to hold a snow festival to help squander Puck's abundance of mana, something that was inspired by Hokkaido in Japan.

The next day, Subaru explained to the residents of Arlam Village and the manor that whoever manages to create the best snow sculpture would be rewarded with a prize, something which leads to everyone working on their respective sculptures, and the judges turn out to be Subaru, Roswaal, and Rasphum. As Subaru and Roswaal observed the sculptures, Subaru eventually came to Rem and Ram, whose sculpture was hidden behind a curtain. When they reveal their sculpture, it turned out to be what they called the Wonderful Subuwaal-sama Sculpture, a sculpture with characteristics of both Subaru and Roswaal. When Roswaal walked up and saw the sculpture, he was left despondent, and the low ratings given by the two judges flabbergasted the twins, leading them to discuss what went wrong with it. In the end, the winner was Petra.

ADVERTISEMENT Alcohol Panic

One day, Subaru and Ram were in the basement of the manor, Subaru cleaning while Ram was taking a nap. After a short argument, Subaru found a hidden door, and after Ram decided to run off in the event things were dangerous, Subaru discovered alcohol. Two nights after that, the residents of the manor held a party. After a speech from Subaru, everyone partook from the food and alcohol available. During the party, Emilia and Rem both got drunk, Rem in particular becoming drunk off of the mere smell of the alcohol without having drunk any, attached themselves to Subaru, and teased him until they both fell asleep on his lap. Ram, meanwhile, easily held her own liquor. She and Subaru spoke lightly about the alcohol tolerance of onis, and Ram mentioned that she and Rem had grown up with special circumstances. Seeing Beatrice by her lonesome outside on the balcony, Subaru decided to join her. Before he made it to her, Subaru's gaze had landed on Emilia and Rem, who were embracing one another while asleep, and Ram said that she would etch the image into her eyelids.

Rem's Very Ordinary Happy Day

One morning, a month after Subaru’s arrival at the manor, Rem set about her daily routine of watching Subaru’s sleeping face for a while and waking her sister. During her conversation with Ram, she muttered about whether she should grow out her hair, which Ram pointed out was because Emilia’s hair was long, implying it was for her to grab Subaru’s attention. Despite her grumbling about Subaru not being worthy of Rem, Rem was happy that Ram did not dislike Subaru. Later that morning, as she watched Subaru and Emilia in the garden, Beatrice appeared nearby and started speaking with Rem, having been keeping an eye on her to make sure she did not overwork herself with the excuse that she did not want to be dragged into another one of Subaru’s ideas. The two discussed how his presence changed the twins and Beatrice, and as Beatrice left for the Forbidden Library, Rem stated she would call for her when breakfast was ready, something that Beatrice started to participate in over the past month. That afternoon, Rem sent Subaru and Ram to Arlam Village to shop in an effort for them to become better friends. The next morning, Ram found Rem asleep in Subaru's arms and gave Subaru a thrashing.

ADVERTISEMENT Garfiel and Ram's Really Really Complicated and Twisted Love Affair

In response to the upcoming Subjugation of Sloth, half of the Arlam Villagers were escorted by Ram to the Sanctuary, where Garfiel was waiting and questioned her. After being told about the evacuation, he told the villagers to behave themselves while they were there before leaving to inform the other residents of the Sanctuary. When Milde Arlam asked about whether they'd be safe, Ram reassured her, but she also wondered how far he would take protecting the Sanctuary. Although the villagers were given a place to stay in, Garfiel made it known that they were not welcome. However, at seeing the villagers slowly unpacking the carriages while gloomy, Garfiel eventually decided to help them. After teasing Garfiel about it, she spoke with Milde again and said she would be tending to Roswaal, leaving them to choose their own rooms. From then on, Garfiel continued to "harass" the villagers before helping on his own. When he was done, Milde thanked him for his help, though Garfiel claimed it wasn't for the villagers but that it was bad for his heart if he didn't help, to which Milde replied her gratitude was in kind. Because he couldn't accept the gratitude so easily, Ram proceeded to reward him.

The Emilia Camp's Great Evaluation Meeting

Following the Sanctuary Incident, Annerose and Clind, who had been tasked with making preparations by Roswaal, arrived at the Sanctuary to board all the villagers on their carriages, intent on leading them out of the snow-covered and heavily damaged forest. Annerose was quick to scold Roswaal for his behavior and approved of his being struck, claiming to Garfiel that she would be his ally should he hassle him again. Moments later, the pair introduced themselves to Subaru and Otto, who had been claimed to be the new internal affairs minister for the Emilia Camp, surprising Subaru with their behavior and titles, and thanks to Clind, Subaru realized that Roswaal had their appearance already prepared. Though Clind claimed that they were a step closer to freeing Roswaal from the "spell" he was under, he teased Subaru when he exclaimed how he thought he said something important. Frederica then appeared and scolded Clind, claiming to Subaru that she knew him and that he was flawed despite his abilities, something which was seemingly proven when Petra said that the villagers had gathered together. Frederica attacked him, though Clind dodged her attacks with ease, and with Otto claiming that he would handle things there, he told Subaru that he should go see Emilia.

Approaching the tomb, where Annerose was talking with Emilia, Beatrice stood by his side, and Subaru warned her not to get too close to Clind. Noticing his state, Ram appeared and claimed that his nature hadn't changed since the last time she met him and that he behaved this way towards her in her youth and even thought that Rem had experienced it. After a warning that Clind did not differentiate between male and female, Annerose approached Subaru and questioned if he was willing to take responsibility for forcing a kiss onto Emilia, though Emilia appeared and defended Subaru by saying it was consensual. Acting like a "rival in love", the two argued, with Annerose even calling Subaru a homewrecker, Beatrice getting angry, and Ram stirring things up. Seeing them all, Emilia touched her crystal where Puck slept and called everyone there precious to her.

Two months after the Sanctuary Incident, Roswaal called for the maids of Roswaal Manor. Intending to begin making allies with other nobles with Emilia for the Royal Selection, he set his sights on first targeting Viscount Torion Aruz, he tasked the girls with cleaning a villa that was once the workshop of his father, Roswaal K. Mathers. Two days later, the girls arrived in the evening, birds attempting to steal their luggage having delayed their arrival. There, they found that the workshop was covered in ivy and vines and was practically falling apart from disuse. As nighttime approached, despite Frederica starting to panic over the workshop's creepy atmosphere, they decided that they would have to stay the night there.

While Ram remained out front for a while, Frederica and Petra went to the back of the workshop, which is in even worse condition than the front. However, after a hole just large enough for the two to slip into, Petra walked inside, followed shortly after by Frederica. Unable to see Petra, she instead saw a doll in the darkness, shortly before the lights came on. Soon after, she reunited with Petra and Ram, afraid of the doll. Despite Ram's insistence that it was Frederica's imagination, Frederica and Petra heard an explosion-like noise in the distance while Ram heard nothing. Wanting to leave, Frederica clung to Ram as they headed for the front door, only to find that it was storming outside, and Petra had to stop Frederica from beastifying and running away.

Deciding they would investigate the strange sounds and dolls, Petra headed upstairs, hoping to catch sight of a hollow. Frederica, still sticking with Ram, tried to follow after her, only to fall through the floor of the stairs. Shortly after, Frederica became a target of harassment for the doll, and before long, she ended up latching onto one in fear, having mistaken it for one of the other two. In a panic, she beastified and ran off, the doll gripping her tail. She eventually smashed it away with her tail on the roof, only to find others that made her fall. Ram, who recognized what they were, ordered the dolls to catch her. Shortly after, Frederica, her clothes destroyed, and Petra were told that the dolls had been magicreation tools that were defending the manor, and they treated Petra and Frederica as intruders, treating them differently because due to their different sizes. First claiming the dolls could help them clean the place up with them, Petra then thought to dress up the dolls and fix their makeup before calling Roswaal to the workshop.

Before long, Roswaal had flown over to the workshop and wondered how long it had been since he'd been there. Meeting up with the maids, he found 111 of those dolls dressed up and fixed. Surprised that they were still, having created more of themselves to continue protecting the place until the master could return, he thanked them, causing them to bow and finally shut down. Afterward, facing the confused Petra, he thanked them for allowing him to right a wrong, upsetting Petra for his attitude. With Roswaal deciding to help them, Frederica told Petra she could work him hard, while Ram had knelt down and gently thanked the dolls for their service.

ADVERTISEMENT Mimi Pearlbaton's Chomp of Love and Passion

After arriving at Roswaal Manor to invite the Emilia Camp to Priestella, Mimi, who saw Garfiel for the first time, was entranced by him, and she asked for his name while introducing herself. He introduced himself, but she ended up dropping her staff on his foot, and Ram appeared to tell him not to leave their guests standing at the entrance. Taking a liking to calling him Garf, they were invited inside, and Mimi recalled what Roshi Pearlbaton had once told her about the feelings she felt after seeing Garfiel. While she was waiting with Joshua Juukulius inside and acting like she was trying to stay serious, she couldn't take her eyes off of Garfiel, causing him to ask what if something was wrong. Red-faced, Mimi ran away, and Ram scolded the guys for being inconsiderate.

Otto Suwen's Internal Affairs Struggle

After the decision to visit the Watergate City of Priestella was made, after taking a bath, Otto was met by Ram in his room. After a bit of back and forth, Otto asked her if she had come here to talk to him about Priestella as well, to which she replied that she did, telling Otto that he had an extremely important duty as Emilia's adviser. This was because Roswaal's greatest wish would depend on Emilia's actions being carried out. Otto asked Ram if she was worried about him too, which Ram denied.

Otto Suwen's Internal Affairs Struggle Line 2

One night, before having left for Priestella, Otto was staying up all night doing paperwork, drinking Coff to stave off his sleepiness. Ram was awake along with Otto. The two of them conversed a bit, as Ram prepared some tea for him. Ram seemed to understand that Otto had not forgiven Roswaal for his transgressions in the Sanctuary. They talked about it a bit, with Otto pledging he would strive to protect the environment around him no matter what. Ram surmised that Otto would protect it by doubting Roswaal, whereas she would do so by believing in Roswaal. Just as Otto was about to leave the room, Ram asked him what would need to happen for him to want to forgive Roswaal. To which Otto replied that he'd probably never be able to forgive him, but, if he had the opportunity, he could maybe think about clearing away his distrust of him.

ADVERTISEMENT Beatrice's Everyone is Troublesome, I Suppose! In Fact!

The day after Ram's group were brought back to the Pleiades Watchtower after their separation from the main group, Ram awoke and exited the dragon carriage. After asking about Rem, she asked for the details about their current circumstances, only to learn that Subaru had been holding her tightly. Embarrassed, Ram walked toward the carriage with her wand out, claiming she would erase Subaru, leading Emilia to stop her.

Abilities Overall Power

Ram has once been claimed to be one of the strongest characters in the series if she was capable of using the full power of her horn. She was formerly considered to be a child prodigy and the second coming of the Oni God,[19] even though she only had one horn. Even among those of her clan, she had an overwhelmingly strong body and magic usage so enormous that it seemed as if the world was in the palm of her hand,[20] to the point that it seemed supernatural, and she would often be taken to hunt witchbeasts with the onis, having even killed a Guiltylowe as her first prey. Presently, Ram cannot ordinarily exert her full power due to the severance of her horn without first connecting to Subaru or Rem through their Authority and horn respectively. Once she is connected to either of them, she can use up to half of her power, which was enough to easily corner and practically toy with the likes of a Sin Archbishop like Lye Batenkaitos. By her own estimation, despite being unable to access it, her power has merely grown with age, with the half of the power she exhibited being at least as much power as she could use in her youth, meaning at full power, she has the potential to contend with and even surpass a large number of powerful warriors, though the extent of her full power is presently unknown.

Physical Traits/Flow Method

Enhanced Strength: As an oni, Ram's base physical strength is greater than a human's, and with just punches, she is able to knock over Garfiel's large frame when he is beastified.

Horn: Despite being a twin, Ram's single horn granted her an incredible amount of power. Whenever it is manifested, her physical capabilities are dramatically increased. In the past, this came with an impulse to unleash her power and kill, but after its severance, that impulse has vanished. Even with her horn severed, she can still go into her Oni Form, being able to use her powers to greatly boost her combat abilities for a short amount of time, but it comes at the cost of vomiting blood and rendering herself unable to move for a long period of time. It is stated that she manages this form in terms of "Shackles", with each shackle representing around 10% of her power as an oni.[21] She is capable of utilizing more of her power with less backlash by connecting to Subaru through Cor Leonis or Rem through her own horn, but according to herself, using too much of her power while connected to the former could kill him, and when she connected to the latter, her mana flow was interrupted, leaving her unable to properly use her legs for a time.

Limited Regeneration: While enhanced by her horn, Ram was capable of regenerating her wounds, though it did not help with her pain or fatigue.[22] Heightened Mana Sensitivity: It has been implied via Rem's battle with Yae Tenzen that Ram is capable of sensing intent through the emotional changes that are hidden in mana, allowing her to defend or act appropriately when in the face of unexpected or unseen attacks. The greater her opponent's bloodlust, the more sensitive she is to it, allowing her to react quicker. This also allows her to determine the intent of her allies by perceiving their mana, allowing her to react appropriately even without words. Blade-like Nails: Ram's nails are incredibly sharp when in combat, capable of tearing straight through her enemies with ease.[23] Ram's penalty for using her severed horn. Ram's penalty for using her severed horn. Penalties: Because her horn was severed, if she attempts to use more power than her body can handle, she will bleed from the spot where her horn used to be. She becomes exhausted quickly, and she is even prone to passing out when she overexerts herself. Horn Severance Backlash: Ram's horn was cut off by Faust when the Witch Cult attacked her village, thus causing her to lose access to most of her power while simultaneously ridding her of her impulses. Because of this, without help from a magic user who can infuse her body with mana,[24] she will be unable to control her power, and it can not only cause self-harm, but also produce a powerful mana storm around her that could tear her surroundings to shreds.[25][26] Because of the severance of her horn, she has to regularly have someone flow mana through the spot where her horn used to be. However, they must be particularly skilled with their control of mana, such as Roswaal or Julius Juukulius. By comparison, if someone like Emilia, who is skilled at magic but not as skilled as Roswaal overall, flowed mana into her, though Ram would receive the mana, she would feel significantly more drained and physically exhausted.

Ram easily overpowering a transformed Garfiel. Ram easily overpowering a transformed Garfiel. Martial Arts: Ram is shown to be very skilled at hand-to-hand combat and has an exceptional awareness of her own body's limits. Her knee kicks and elbow punches are capable of shattering bones and rupturing internal organs. In Arc 6, she displays her true strength by cladding herself with Wind Magic and combining that with martial arts in which she is able to amplify the speed and direction of her attacks, as well as cut through foes easily with wind from her limbs, making her an extremely proficient opponent who's able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of transformed Garfiel and Lye Batenkaitos. During the fight against Garfiel in Arc 4, she was able to use her powers to greatly boost her combat abilities for a short amount of time, but at a cost of vomiting blood and rendering herself unable to move for a long period of time. If Otto had not used his Divine Protection to distract Garfiel, she would have died in the midst of her battle.

ADVERTISEMENT Magic

Ram has an affinity for the wind attribute. She is extremely skilled with her wind magic, capable of repetitive, alternating chanting, something which is claimed to be akin to threading a needle with one's eyes closed and hands tied, or putting the self-same thread through countless lumen simultaneously.[27] Combined with Synesthesia, she is capable of accurately sniping enemies from afar.[28] However, due to the loss of her horn, she cannot display the full might of her skill with her wind magic so freely. She has shown to use her magic to boost the piercing power of weapons, like arrows,[29] and retrieve fallen objects,[30] as well as mimic techniques utilized by her opponents, such as the invisible blade technique used by Lye Batenkaitos.

Spells:

Ram attempting to use Fura on Subaru. Ram attempting to use Fura on Subaru. 1/3 Fura (フーラ): Ram shoots wind slashes with a super high speed that can cut through wood, stone, and flesh with ease. El Fura (エル・フーラ): Ram unleashes a blade of wind, travelling at maximum velocity. It is noted that the attack can't be physically countered, and it has enough strength to easily sever one of the heads of a Dragon of Valgren's strength.[31] Ul Fura (ウル・フーラ): Ram is capable of rewriting the world around her, transforming the air around her into blades of wind, which are sent hurling towards her enemies. The blades travel sporadically and without a set course, turning their target into minced meat. Al Fura (アル・フーラ): Ram unleashes an extremely devastating torrent of wind blades that destroy everything and everyone in its path. The unleashed wind blades are described as having the force of a gigantic dragon and the sharpness of a treasured sword. People who are hit with this spell immediately have their eardrums destroyed, their entire bodies slashed to pieces, and, at the end, not even a pool of blood is left of them.[32] Unique Spells:

Illusionism: Ram is capable of generating illusions using a combination of her Wind Magic and a hallucinatory drug.[33] Every illusion she creates through the scent of a flower is implied to have a flower in it, which is the key to dispel the enchantment, such as when Subaru is freed from one of Ram's illusions after Julius's quasi-spirit of fire, Ia, burned a flower nearby. Unnamed Invisible Wind Blade Technique: This allows Ram to hide invisible blades made of Wind Magic in a fixed space of her choosing. As it’s something that’s been fixed in space, even someone on Ram's level wouldn't be able to kick it away. She can jump atop the blades as footing to move through the air with. She copied this technique during her fight with Lye Batenkaitos.

Ram using Clairvoyance. Ram using Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance (千里眼, Senrigan): A secret art passed down through generations in the Oni Tribe.[34] It enables Ram to synchronize with the vision of those who have the same wavelength, allowing her to overlap her vision with another being.[35] While she's usually able to synchronize her vision with anyone she wishes to, there are a few exceptions, one of which being "high-ranking" individuals such as Roswaal. If such people close off their heart, Ram is unable to use Clairvoyance on them. Also, even if she can connect to them, if they have their eyes closed or cannot see, she will not be able to see through their eyes. Although she is unable to defend herself while using it, it allows her to continuously switch between people. However, the side effect of the ability causes her veins to become prominent, shed tears of blood from one eye, and legs to shake uncontrollably.

Synesthesia (共感覚, Kyōkankaku): An ability that she shares with her sister. It allows them to share their feelings and emotions with each other through telepathy.[36][37] Ram is even able to borrow Rem's horn and use it to greatly amplify her own fighting strength.[38]

Intelligence

Keen Intellect: Aside from her combative abilities, Ram is incredibly intelligent. Having received a formal education thanks to the patronage of Roswaal, both Ram and Rem excelled academically. She has excellent observational skills, having been quick to realize the danger of a plan from the Witch Cult and figuring out the likely locations where magical miasma stones could be placed after seeing a map,[39] and is a strong judge of character. Unlike her sister, Ram is able to discern that Subaru is not a threat, despite the scent of the Witch of Envy that rests on him. She was also able to understand that Subaru wanted Garfiel's necklace from observing his line of questioning, even though Subaru didn't convey this information to her.

Ram's Wand Wand: Ram usually uses a wand that Roswaal fashioned from her horn when fighting.[40] It helps her better channel her mana to reduce the burden of using magic. During the events of Arc 3, Ram uses the wand while fighting Wilhelm and Ricardo in close combat. Trivia In the author's character strength ranking in June 2014, Ram (with her horn) was ranked as the 2nd strongest character in the series, though the list may have changed since then.[41] According to Lye Batenkaitos, Ram would be able to contend with the likes of Regulus Corneas in terms of power.[42] In Ram and the Night Study Group, it is revealed that Ram (and likely Rem) attended something similar to kindergarten in their home village.[43] Ram guessed Subaru hailed from the upper class of a small kingdom due to not knowing his origins.[44] After Subaru taught her hiragana, Ram noted she felt like she saw that type of writing somewhere before.[18] Ram has her own named chapter in Arc 6, in both the web novel and light novels. Although there were days of celebration in the oni village, most of them celebrated Ram's birth.[45] Ram's favorite food is Rem's steamed potatoes.[46] The first witchbeast Ram ever killed was a Guiltylowe. From among those affected by Al's Aggressor in Arc 9, Ram was the one who lasted the longest.[47] Cor Leonis is an Authority (a special power linked to a Witch Factor) belonging to Natsuki Subaru in the Re:Zero light novels.The name translates from Latin to "Lion's Heart," which reflects the nature of Regulus Corneas's Greed Witch Factor from which it originates. Subaru develops and names this ability toward the end of Arc 6 after inheriting Regulus's Witch Factor in Arc 5.How Cor Leonis WorksCor Leonis creates an emotional and spiritual connection between Subaru and people he genuinely considers his allies (and who reciprocate that trust). It features two main phases:Base Form (Burden Absorption): Subaru acts as a radar to sense his allies' locations and emotional states. He can take on their physical pain, injuries, fatigue, and mental burdens onto himself, relieving his comrades so they can keep fighting. However, the physical damage and pain he transfers to himself are real, meaning overusing it can seriously injure or kill Subaru.Second Shift (Burden Redistribution): Instead of hoarding all the pain and fatigue himself, Subaru can split and distribute the physical and mental load across multiple willing allies. This allows a group to share damage, regulate stress, and coordinate movements or mana more efficiently, though everyone involved still shares the consequences
