Arue (あるえ) is a member of the Crimson Demons and a former classmate of Megumin and Yunyun, as well as an aspiring author.
Appearance[]
Like all Crimson Demons, Arue has brunette hair (black in the novels) and red pupils. She has shoulder-length hair drills. Also, she is consistently described as voluptuous, hardly looking the same age as her classmates.
Arue usually wears the Red Prison uniform, consisting of a pink shirt dress, a knee-length black cloak and a red and orange-striped tie, alongside black stockings, boat shoes, a purple bat-clip at the back of her head (in the anime she uses a ribbon) and the same eyepatch as Megumin.
Personality[]
Arue is a severe case of chūnibyō even among the Crimson Demons, acting and speaking in a "composedly dramatic" way, always talking in a phlegmatic fashion while her gestures and speeches have a theatrical intensity. She puts so much effort on her acting that Arue barely shows any spontaneous reaction,[2] unless she feels extreme rage, despair or disgust, like the times she met Kazuma.[3][4]
Futhermore, as an aspiring author, Arue is very inventive, often creating fake stories and narratives in order to entertain her fellows, like her eyepatch background.[5] However, she is also a NEET, as Arue spends all day and night locked-up at home writing her manuscripts, and even when she didn't admit her goal of becoming a professional author yet, Arue still put a lot of effort on her writing craft.[6]
Arue is also very attached to her works, being sensitive to criticism[6] and getting upset if her manuscripts are damaged or destroyed, since she works hard on them.[3] Thus her works are Arue's weak spot, since any threat against her manuscripts can reduce her to tears.[6] She is interested in real-life events and people that can used in her works too, such as Megumin's adventures[5] and Yunyun.[7]
Arue is also very prideful of her overdeveloped body, bragging about her personal growth and calling herself as the "most voluptuous among the Crimson Demons" in her self-introduction, while striking poses that emphasize these features.[8]
