Suzuno Kamazuki (鎌月 鈴乃 Kamazuki Suzuno)/Crestia Bell (クレスティア・ベル Kuresutia Beru) is Sadao Maou's next door neighbor and the Chief of the Doctrinal Corrections Council who serves under the Church of Ente Isla. She is most commonly seen wearing a kimono as she only owns traditional clothes instead of modern ones.

Appearance[]

Suzuno Kamazuki

Traditional Outfit

Crestia Bell has fair skin, aqua-colored eyes, and long navy-blue hair styled into a side ponytail on one side with a strand framing her opposite cheek. It is held in place by a red flower clip that is her weapon in disguise, though she allows her hair to run loosely down her back while wielding her hammer in battle. She has a small body, a petite frame, small breasts, and a slender figure. Perhaps due to her past career as an executioner, she usually wears a serious expression, which, coupled with her deadpan tone of voice, often causes her to come across as blunt or insensitive.

Having learned about Japan from historical dramas, she initially believed the kimono to be the most appropriate clothing. However, she continued to wear them out of preference after discovering her mistake. Suzuno prefers loose-fitting clothes, usually wearing a midnight blue kimono with a yellow obi and a lime green obijime. However, she has been known to wear other variations of this outfit in similar colors, patterns, and designs. Despite her youthful appearance, it is mentioned that she is much older than she appears, although according to Emilia, she doesn't speak much of her age for that very reason.

As a Church Inquisitor back in Ente Isla, Crestia Bell wore the traditional clothing typically worn by clergy members, her particular variation consisting of long red and white robes lined with gold. She also wore a matching cloak with the same color scheme and a hood, the front of the cape fastened with a gold accessory embedded with large rubies.

Personality[]

When Suzuno first encounters the demons of Villa Rosa Sasazuka, she appears as a kind and caring neighbor, commonly doing chores around the Devil's Castle and cooking for them, even donating a large box of udon noodles to them as a house-warming gift. She tends to dote on them, hand-feeding Maou, preparing lavish multi-layered bentos for him to take to work, cleaning the apartment, and even instructing the normally-lazy Urushihara on preparing meals. Her neighborly charm was an elaborate act to get close to the Demon King so that she could eliminate him. Yet, despite receiving outdated information concerning modern Japanese society's culture, language, and customs, Crestia Bell was shown to be a skilled actor. Her apparent congeniality and charitable behavior are such that even the perceptive Emi Yusa believed Suzuno to be in love with the Demon King at first glance, the act initially fooling the typically paranoid Hero into letting her guard down around her. Ironically, Sadao was not fooled by her act from the beginning, having quickly deduced that a young girl moving next door to an apartment of single men and spoiling them was far too unlikely ever to happen.

"I never wanted to kill anyone..."

In Ente Isla, Crestia Bell was a skilled assassin for the Church, having easily poisoned the members of the Allied Knights Order while taking out any person deemed a heretic by her superiors. Though the dialogue spoken by Sariel indicates that she was known for her cold-blooded nature, Suzuno is shown to have despised every moment of her job, hinting towards the much kinder nature she expresses while living peacefully on Earth. She confesses that she never wanted to kill anyone, and it is implied that she only did so due to her faith in the Church and its teachings. Over time, she became disillusioned with the institution and its leaders, though, at the time, she could only lament the Church's corruption. If nothing else, her cooperation and continued allegiance to the organization show faith in the group's core religious beliefs or simply a dedication to her post as its Chief Inquisitor.

Although her past is stained with the blood of innocents, Suzuno is shown to be a good person at heart. Her continued kindness towards the demons and her strong friendship with Emi and Chiho, even after they learn of her true motives, is proof of her inherent virtue. Although her mission was initially to oversee Maou's execution and return to Ente Isla, she largely abandons this goal after seeing the torture and destruction inflicted by the Archangel Sariel in his attempts to follow the mandate of Heaven, with his kidnapping and torture of her two friends resulting in her subsequent defection. Realizing that Sadao Maou would sooner die than abandon them to such a fate, Crestia Bell can find no trespass in his motives and vows that if caring about others does one evil, then she too would be. Though she still views Sadao Maou as the Devil and sees him as a potential enemy in the future, Suzuno follows Emi's example and stays in Japan to keep an eye on his group of depowered demons.

Compared to the Hero Emilia, Crestia Bell retains her more political-minded views from her time with the Inquisition. She sees bloodshed as unavoidable at times and sees situations from a politician's standpoint rather than a warrior, which occasionally causes her to bump heads with the Hero. Even concerning everyday situations on Earth, Suzuno'a manner of speech is usually very blunt, and she has a habit of voicing her opinions in a brutally honest manner, regardless of the reactions of those around her. Overall, she is shown to be an efficient individual.

Suzuno was adjusting to culture shock when she came to Japan. She once fainted when seeing how heavily progressive cities in Japan were and how ignorant of standard technology such as television. This dislike of the more modern lifestyle, mixed with her fondness for older Japanese culture, has resulted in her only wearing traditional clothing, such as a kimono and yukata, even after learning that it is not the societal norm to do so.

Emi also hints that the former Inquisitor is sensitive about her age, as Suzuno is much older than she appears, but does not speak of it.

Background[]

Inquisitorbell

Crestia Bell laments the corruption of the Church

During the war with Demon Army, the Church desired to seize power and bolster its reputation among the people of Ente Isla, a goal shared by several other factions such as the Allied Knights Order. During this time, the council of High Priests bestowed Olba Meyer with the duty of dealing with those who would oppose the Church's interests, labeling several people as "heretics" and marking them for elimiation. Thus Head Inquisitor Crestia Bell was placed in charge of dealing with those who stood in the way of the Church. During this time, Bell was tasked with arresting and executing the targets given to her by Father Olba, subjecting people to unfair trials and brutal assassinations. After stumbling upon a plot by the Allied Knights Order to discredit the Church and seize power for themselves, she poisoned the leaders of the traitorous faction before executing the helpless victims with her hammer. Though she despised her own actions, attempts to reason with her superior were scorned by Father Olba, who openly dismissed her guilt as foolishness before handing her another list of heretics to execute.

This travesty of justice did not go unnoticed by the people, who began criticizing the Church's unfairness and use of lethal force. During a meeting of the High Priests, Father Robertio agreed that Olba Meyer would be blamed for the Church's loss of support due to his role as Head of the Inquisition. While the other bishops toyed with using Crestia Bell as the scapegoat, Robertio pointed out that she was not even present for many of the sham trials. Thus, offering her up as the culprit would not suffice. Fellow archbishop Father Servantes then proposed publicly disbanding the Inquisition to appease the public, and its members transferred to a new group known as the Doctrinal Correction Council. Crestia Bell overhears her superiors during the meeting and reacts with disgust, her faith in the Church shaken by their cowardly response and dubious political maneuverings. Despite this, she is made Head of the new Doctrinal Corrections Council.

Before arriving in Japan, Suzuno was given much misinformation regarding the country, as she was given outdated information about Japan during the archaic periods.

Powers and Abilities[]

Celestial Force[]

  • Sleep Magic: Like Emilia, Suzuno made Chiho fall asleep by touching her forehead.
  • Memory Manipulation: Not shown, but Suzuno said she could erase Chiho's memories of Ente Isla, implying that she can also manipulate memories.
  • Enhanced Strength: By channeling magic through her body, Suzuno can easily lift sizable loads, including giant appliances from her apartment and an economy-size box of udon noodles that Maou struggled to carry in his human form. This ability allows her to wield her trademark mallet as if it weighs nothing.
  • Barrier

Weapons[]

During Suzuno's days as the executioner of the Inquisition, she was shown to execute people by using a giant mallet as her weapon of choice. She typically keeps her weapon concealed as a red flower clip to hold up her hair when it is not used.

Etymology[]

  • The name Suzuno means "bell" (鈴) (suzu) and "from" (乃) (no), harkening back to her real name "Crestia Bell".
  • Suzuno's surname Kamazuki means "crescent moon" (鎌月).
