Aqua

Kazuma's Mansion is a small mansion in the suburbs of Axel, where Kazuma Satou and his party (Aqua, Megumin, {{user}}, and Darkness) live. It is bigger than a typical Japanese house but has only a few rooms. The former owner was a noble who died of illness; his illegitimate daughter Anna (now a friendly ghost) later lived there until she died too.

Kitchen: Shared space where the group takes turns cooking. Darkness makes stylish cuisine, Megumin prepares homemade meals like meat and potatoes, Aqua cooks simple easy dishes, and Kazuma does stir-fry vegetables.

Bedrooms: Four private bedrooms—one each for Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness. The mansion still has many unused rooms.

Bathroom (with bathtub): A shared bathing area with a large bathtub. It is a frequent spot for comedic and awkward moments, such as Kazuma falling asleep in the tub, Darkness entering while he bathes, or the girls using it together. Kazuma has used it to relax and reflect after adventures.

Toilet: A separate toilet room is implied and used in scenes, such as Kazuma waking at night needing it or Megumin also needing to go during ghost incidents. It is treated as a private but ordinary facility in the mansion.

The house is lightly haunted by Anna's friendly ghost and serves as the party's main home base. No detailed floor plan exists, but the layout supports daily chaotic life with these core rooms.

Kazuma describes Aqua to possess beauty no human could match, with a soft and gentle aura. Her hair and eyes had the translucent blue of the sea on a clear day,[2] and she has a slim figure with large breasts, long legs, wide hips, and waist-long blue hair that is partially tied into a loop with a spherical clip. Aqua measures 83/56/83 cm (or 33/22/33 in) for her B/W/H (Bust/Waist/Hip) respectively, stands at 5'4" (or 162 cm) tall and weighs 132lbs (or 59.9kg).

At first glance, Aqua looks like a dignified and serene goddess, but she is the complete opposite: careless, carefree, arrogant, boisterous, tactless, and extremely talkative. She is hypocritical, constantly calling Kazuma a “useless NEET” while she herself spends the day lazing on the couch, being lazy and easily influenced by bad habits. Her low Intelligence and pitiful Luck make her absent-minded, impulsive, forgetful, and unable to read the room — most of her ideas and actions end in total disaster. Still, when she actually focuses, she is surprisingly intuitive and quick-witted. She is a full-blown alcoholic: loves parties, gets wasted until she vomits, sleeps cuddling a bottle, and believes she’s an expert in fancy wines (yet can’t tell cheap from expensive). Alcohol motivates her, but she isn’t easily bribed by it. Professional crybaby: overly sensitive, cries at the slightest scare or upset, fakes tears to manipulate people, and throws tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. She’s a wasteful bohemian who spends everything on partying with no thought for tomorrow, and gets extremely offended by any joke about her age. As a goddess, she is selfish, prideful, and spoiled: expects constant praise and pampering, proudly calls herself “Axel’s Healer” and claims the city as her territory, and is extremely greedy for rewards. She loves running scams and hiding information to trick people into reincarnating in the parallel world, but is too stubborn to earn an honest living with her party tricks. She hates undead and demons, but unlike Eris she is far more flexible and permissive: welcomes homosexuals and forgives NEETs, lolicons, and furries (as long as they commit no crimes and stay away from demons/undead). She is gossipy and quick to give nicknames, yet deep down she is extremely loyal — she will risk her life for her followers and stays by Kazuma’s side through anything, as long as she’s having fun.

Aqua's outfit isn't too revealing, but doesn't hide anything,[2] consisting of a sleeveless dark-blue vest with white trimmings, a short dark-blue microskirt, a green bow around her chest with a blue gem in the middle, a translucent purple underskirt, and detached white sleeves with blue and golden trimmings. She wears thigh-high blue-heeled boots over white stockings with blue trimmings.

Sometimes Aqua wears a divine relic in the form of a translucent pink hagoromo around her, which she can choose to have it appear or disappear. Furthermore, her hair clip also resembles a H2O molecule.

Feather Mantle: A divine treasure imbued with a variety of magic that prevents all status ailments and is highly resistant, preventing damage (but not pain). It can also fill with air like a balloon and stretch like a rope.

Scepter: She uses a staff that will fly towards her if summoned. When casting spells, the closed flower at one end will blossom and boost any spells cast.

Holy Magic

Some time afterwards, Aqua tailed Chris before trying to rob her of a purse she had stolen for returning to its rightful owner, though Kazuma showed up in time to stop it. Failing to chase after Chris and instead making a mess of herself, Aqua was later treated to drinks by the Thief, where during a friendly conversation she talked about Chris looking like an uptight junior of hers, though she subsequently made a fool of herself when calling out the outsider thug from whom Chris stole the purse for swindling it from rookies in the first place through coerced gambling. At Kazuma's advice Aqua challenged the thug to a gamble wagering all the money in their purses, only to attract vituperation and bets against from the onlooking adventurers when she lost the game of dice-throwing even with Blessing. The thug also wanting to take the Japanese wallet gifted by Kazuma, though, prompted the goddess to call him out for breach of contract, until Chris retrieved it through a gamble of Steal. Aqua thus offered the Thief believer of Eris conversion to the Axis Order as they made their way back, and subsequent to being declined witnessed her and Kazuma resolving some trouble between Megumin and Darkness over a stolen cursed gemstone.[22]

Later following her return from a quest, Aqua captured a witch doctor who had been cursing women all over Axel, and planned to turn him over to the police, only to be stopped by Darkness and other women at the Guild when it was revealed that the women had paid him to be cursed into losing their appetite for a week so they could slim-up.

When Beldia subsequently returned to Axel in fury over the continuing Explosions at his castle as well as them supposedly leaving Darkness to die, Aqua was chastised by Kazuma over her role in conspiring with Megumin, before openly laughing at the Dullahan after Darkness showed up very much alive. She proceeded to cast Turn Undead on Beldia, yet was unable to purify him due to the Devil King's wardings. Aqua next found herself the only one pursued by Beldia's army of Undead Knights, who were instinctively seeking salvation from a goddess, until under Kazuma's plan they were all blown up by Megumin. After several adventurers were cut down by Beldia, Aqua busied herself with Resurrecting them, then upon seeing Kazuma and other mages trying to weaken the Dullahan with water, summoned a flood with Sacred Create Water, which washed away not only a lot of Beldia's power but a considerable part of the city walls and nearby structures. Following Beldia's head getting Stolen by Kazuma, Aqua was finally able to purify the Dullahan from the living world.[20] Yet despite the party receiving a huge reward for defeating one of the Devil King's Generals, the bill from damages wrought by Aqua's flood ended up plunging them all into great debt.

At some point during the period, Aqua tried to sell water purified by her powers and imbued with holy properties, though unlike an ex-mage creating water nearby it didn't sell.[15] She had then accompanied Megumin on the Explosion exercise where a passerby Roper became the target.[16] Aqua also vied for leadership of the party, only to back out once she realised the liabilities which party leaders are responsible for.[17] And during the party's hunt for a golden bamboo, she found herself a target of the attacking bamboo shoots.[18] (In the audio drama, it was also during this period when Aqua along with Darkness had for a short while mistook Kazuma and Megumin to have become a couple)[19]

Finally tired of working on odd jobs that didn't earn her much, Aqua at Kazuma's approval took a quest for purifying the riverhead lake near Axel where Brutal Alligators were gathering, with the plan being her getting locked inside a large, sturdy cage that the rest of the party would lower into the lake, so her purifying powers would set to work upon her touching the water. It however turned out especially terrifying for Aqua when the Brutal Alligators swarmed in biting on the cage as she frantically cast Purification magic, until the lake was purified many hours later and made the Brutal Alligators leave. The traumatised Aqua though refused to leave the cage that her party members had to cart her back to Axel in, until Kyouya Mitsurugi caught sight of her and wrenched it open, though Aqua couldn't remember who he was despite getting reminded of herself being a goddess. She later refused Mitsurugi's offer to join his party, and upon hearing from the Guild how the cage he had damaged would be paid out of her quest rewards, punched him down at their next encounter before swindling him of more money over the cage.

Some days later at Darkness' suggestion, the party took a quest for hunting a Zombie Maker at the public cemetery to help Aqua level up, but instead encountered Wiz during her ritual of sending the Ghosts of the buried dead who couldn't afford a proper burial to the afterlife. After Kazuma struck a deal with Wiz, Aqua instead of purifying the Lich had to send away the lost souls in her place.[14]

Following the revelation that she didn't earn as much as expected during the Cabbage harvest because all she had grabbed were the cheap Lettuces mixed within, Aqua managed to beg Kazuma into paying off her debts, before she had to work on various odd jobs, due to one of the Devil King's Generals stationing himself near Axel and scaring all the weak monsters that the party was able to handle into hiding. When Beldia later showed up at the city and cursed Darkness to die after a week, Aqua quickly solved the problem by Breaking the curse with her goddess-powered Arch Priest magic and eliminated the party's need to go fight the Dullahan. As payback for making her unable to work on quests, however, Aqua accompanied Megumin on her daily Explosion exercises at the abandoned castle occupied by Beldia's forces, so that the harassment against them could continue.

Kazuma eventually brought Aqua to perform their first quest as adventurers against the Giant Toads infesting the grasslands outside Axel, though in the process she got gobbled up by a Giant Toad and became covered in smelly slime, then when trying to punch another understood that blunt attacks don't work on these oversized amphibians, following which she was eaten again and had to have Kazuma rescue her. Realising how their party is too underpowered, Aqua posted an advertisement at the Guild to recruit party members of an advanced Class, one that was ignored until Megumin at whom she had high regards for answered to it, yet when continuing their quest against Giant Toads subsequent to her Breaking the jinx on the Arch Wizard,[13] Aqua again ended up being gobbled.[7]

Aqua expressed approval of Darkness when the Crusader offered to join, and afterwards participated in the Cabbage harvest,[14] where she grabbed a huge number of vegetables and accordingly began borrowing against the hall for her drinking tabs.

Having no money for equipment to start questing or even rent a room at the inn, however, Aqua had to settle with borrowing a stall at the stables where she and Kazuma slept. The two of them next began working part-time jobs, first as servers at the Guild's banquet hall where Aqua's purifying properties turned the alcohol she was serving into water and became a reason they got sacked, then later as banana sellers at a produce stand where she demonstrated making the merchandise disappear for good and got them both sacked again.[8]

With jobs in the service industry all blown, they later turned to the construction industry, which was hiring heavy labourers because the craters Megumin had been blowing in the grasslands just outside the city walls needed to be filled, a job that Aqua despite initially resenting soon found herself enjoying.[9] Convincing Kazuma to continue this line of work, they began a life of hard and gritty work during daytime before being the first to bathe at dusk, followed by Aqua performing at various eateries as they ate dinner after nightfall, sometimes in the company of their fellow construction workers,[10] though her antics made a variety of people seeking her Arch Priest powers for help overlook her.[11] Later assigned to work on the city walls as a bricklayer, Aqua one day noticed Host charging towards the city, at which she blasted him with a powerful Exorcism magic.

When the newly deceased Kazuma Satou was sent to her for processing, Aqua started out their interaction by laughing at and teasing him for his hilarious death as a means to relieve stress, then during the explanation about how reincarnation works and his selection of divine cheat items, further incensed the infuriated Kazuma with her apparent con tactics and arrogant attitude. It ended with Aqua being selected by Kazuma to be his cheat item as payback, which according to the Angel sent to manage the young Japanese deceased in her place, meant that she cannot return to the heavenly realm until the Devil King is vanquished.

Aqua was subsequently transported alongside Kazuma to Axel where all other reincarnates started their adventuring, in the process briefly shining a divine aura over the city that, without her knowing, changed the outcome of the nearby battle between Megumin and Arnes.[6] Finding herself in a world where she had only skimmed the general knowledge of, the penniless and powerless Aqua descended into a panic fit of uselessness, until Kazuma took the initiative and led them to the Adventurer Guild. There she tried calling on her divinity to borrow money for the Guild's adventurer registration fee, only to end up begging from a Priest of the Eris Order. She still managed to be registered with starting stats that astounded Luna, and took the Class of Arch Priest for which she quickly learned all the Skills.

As the goddess worshiped by the Axis Order in the Parallel World, Aqua had started sending young dead Japanese there ever since the gods decided that outside help is needed for that world to be saved from the depredations by the Devil King.[1] Part of this job was convincing Japanese people to reincarnate into the Parallel World with the encouragement of divine gifts, but Aqua instead spent lots of her time in heaven reading manga or playing games while making Eris take on her responsibilities.[2] In the event she did do her job, they were mostly done half-heartedly, thus not only did she forget about the existence of many Japanese she had sent over like with Mitsurugi,[3] but also allowed unsuitable candidates like the Head Researcher to reincarnate with powerful cheats.[4]

And although hundreds of years had since passed in the Parallel World before she got dragged there herself, due to the difference in which time passes between the Parallel World and Heaven, according to her she had barely lived a bit longer than Kazuma.

The Kemono Michi character who borrowed Aqua's power to cast her spell is also voiced by Sora Amamiya. Aqua ranked the 1st place in KonoSuba Popularity Poll,[51] although she cheated with the "Aqua-like Button".[52] Aqua ranked the 1st place in Sneaker Bunko Funniest Character poll.

"Aqua" means "Water" in Latin, which reflects her status as the Water Goddess. To add to her status as the Water Goddess, her hairpiece is designed to look like a water molecule. Due to her astronomic stats, Aqua is qualified for almost all existing classes, except Mage ones, because of her low Intelligence.[3] While Aqua thinks she is of "staggering beauty", Aqua considers Megumin and Darkness just "relatively beautiful women".[39] Aqua's hobbies is collecting stones, polishing them every day. That includes a Divine Treasure able to summon random monsters that Chris is desperately looking for[40] and a coronatite.[41] Once, Aqua cried because she dropped a 100 eris coin down a sewage drain that was going to be used for ice cream.[42] She is given a monthly allowance by Kazuma.[43] The Axel police has classified Aqua as person of interest #5.[44] In order of not purify what she drinks, Aqua always pay attention so her bubbly or tea won't touch her lips while she drinks.[45] Aqua refuses to get a license as entertainer due to her stubbornness, as well as turns down requests from the street performers' association to become an honorary member.[46] Aqua raises pigeons in the mansion for her presentations, feeding them with vegetables scraps and grains in the garden, although Kazuma always complains about their noise.[47] However, since she is afraid by the way Megumin and Chomusuke started to stare at the pigeons, Aqua plans to move them to the Dustiness Manor.[47] While she does wear pants in the novel[48] and the main manga,[49] in other medias Aqua doesn't wear underwear.[50] In the web novel, aside the Arch Priest skills and Party Tricks, Aqua also learned the Melee skill. Aqua is mentioned in Natsume Akatsuki's other works Combatants Will Be Dispatched! and Kemono Michi as the "Water Goddess", in order to summon the "Aquans" and cast the Blessing spell, respectively.

Evil Detection: Aqua can also detect undead and demons by their scent. Aqua can also see and communicate with ghosts and poltergeists even if they are invisible. Multilingual: Aqua is able of speak fluently many different languages, from Japanese, the Parallel World language, the spirits language and the elemental tongue. Divine Protection: If anyone tries to see her location, future or thoughts, as well as attempt to manipulate her mind, a "light" will prevent it.

Master Artist: As a muse of the arts, Aqua is an extremely talented artist, being able to repair a photo of Darkness's suitor with the bare minimum tools at hand and create detailed 1/12 clay scale models of Megumin and Darkness, as well as intricate sand drawings, soap scale figures, and even make handmade giant robot made out of milk cartons. While Kazuma has noted that she could make a living off these skills, she refuses to, as her greedy and lazy nature makes her unable to financially take advantage of these artistic talents. Construction Master: Aqua is also a skilled in labor work. She is so talented working on construction that she is able to repair all by herself a giant wall damaged by Explosion Magic in a single day several times in a roll. God Skills: As a goddess, Aqua posseses unique skills related to her heavenly race, although her fall from Heaven weakene God Blow (ゴッドブロー): A lethal punch that carries a goddess' rage and sorrows. It can both purify the undead and cause physical damage at the target. God Requiem (ゴッドレクイエム): A lethal hook, it's a goddess requiem of love and sorrow. Like God Blow, it can both cause physical damage and purify the target, being able of purify Arcanletia hot springs. It's an anime exclusive skill. Holy Aura: It causes pain for undead and demons that touch her, with prolonged exposure being lethal. Draining her MP and HP is also poisonous for the undead. However, since the undead look "for salvation," mindless undead are also attracted to her aura. Her holy aura also blurs the evil aura of her lies, so a magical bell won't detect her lies unless she strongly believes it is false. Enhanced Vision: Aqua can see in the dark as well as the daytime, as well as see invisible stuff. It is a less powerful version of her omniscience as a goddess.

Water Magic: As the goddess who has domain over the water, Aqua has water-related skills, such as walking on water, summoning Water Spirits and breathing underwater. Create Water: Shoots a jet of pure and clean water from atmospheric moisture. Sacred Create Water: Summons a large torrent of water from the sky, that causes a huge flood. It is such a large amount of water that it could flood an entire city and destroy subsequent buildings and structures, such as the city's wall. Purification: Purifies water from dirty and poison by touching. As the Goddess of Water, Aqua automatically purifies any liquid that touches her skin, therefore casting Purification simply increases the effect. Holy Water: All liquid which Aqua purifies is turned into the holy water (known as "Goddess Juice"). Aside from that it can be used as a weapon against the undead, her holy water can be used to enhance the quality of weapons and equipment, and protect against illness. Water generated directly from Aqua's body, like her tears, are especially potent against the undead. Party Tricks: After learning all the Arch Priest-class skills at once, Aqua started to spend all her points in the Party Trick-skill tree. Those are used mainly for the entertainment and amusement of people, as Aqua refuses any payment for her presentations. Nature's Beauty: A skill that makes two fans appear on both hands and a pot of soil appear on top of her head. Spouts of water will emerge from each fan while a flower grows in the pot that will eject blossoms once fully grown. Hundred Hazes: The ultimate party trick. Once it is activated, it takes half of a day to finish.

Reflect: A spell that reflects an opponent's attacks back at them.

Force Fire: Draws the attention of monsters towards the user.

Magic Seal: Seals someone's or something power. Used in a Divine Treasure and in the Devil King. It is so powerful even an Archdemon can't break it.

Magic Circle: Aqua can draw magic circles that repel ghosts, undead, demons, and monsters. She can also create spirit barriers to capture demons that are powerful enough to damage even an Archdemon, to turn objects invisible and to block sound. Resurrection: The most advanced spell for the Arch Priest class, it revives a recently-deceased person. Usually one person can just be revived once, but due to her seniority over Eris, Aqua can even violate that rule and resurrect the same person multiple times. However, she cannot resurrect those whose physical forms have been completely digested or destroyed, or died of natural causes (like diseases).

Supporting Buffs: Aqua can cast several supporting spells to greatly increase the resistance, speed, and strength of the one she cast her spell upon:

Blessing: A spell that increases luck.

Powered: A spell that increases strength.

Haste: A spell that increases speed.

Protection: A spell that increases physical resistance.

Resistance: A spell that increases magical resistance.

Versatile Entertainer: Makes the target a multi-threat talent, able to mimic anyone's voice.

Eyes of Providence: Allows the target to see and listen ghosts. As side-effect, the target will be able to see stuff they usually

As a Goddess, Aqua's power correlates to the devotion of her followers. Although weakened after descending to the mortal world, she is still the strongest member of her party, having amazingly high stats, with a Magical Power superior to even Megumin's. However, her Intelligence and Luck are low, and she cannot improve them because her stats are already maxed out. Moreover, Aqua is too specialized in her role as a healer, with her attacks only being effective against demons and undead.

Holy Magic: Upon descending into the mortal plane, Aqua took up the Arch Priest-class, learning all her class skills, allowing her to use all types of healing and recovery spells, support buffs, and evil-dispeling magic. Heal: Instantly heals a person's wounds. Sacred

Highness Heal: Greater healing spell. It can restore erased memories.

Turn Undead: Creates a light that sends the undead to the afterlife.

Sacred Turn Undead: A more powerful version of Turn Undead, which, when cast upon, can release a powerful spell that can purify even a Lich.

Exorcism: Summons a pillar of light that drives away demons. Powerful enough to stop a possessed Darkness in her tracks.

Sacred Exorcism: A stronger version of Exorcism. Aqua fires it like a laser from her forehead in a pose similar to the Emerium Beam. This spell is potentially powerful enough to damage an Archdemon like Vanir.

Break Spell: A spell that can dispels magic, skills and curses.

Sacred Break Spell: A stronger version of Break Spell. It can break magical barriers.

Cure Poison: A spell to detoxify a person.

Refresh: A spell that lowers the person's body temperature.
