Mereoleona Vermillion

Mereoleona Vermillion is a noblewoman and the first daughter of House Vermillion, one of the royal families of the Clover Kingdom. She was also the temporary captain of the Crimson Lion and Royal Knights squads.

Mereoleona is a woman with blue eyes and long, wavy red hair. Like her brothers, she has red markings around her eyes, and like Leopold, she has a single, sharp, prominent fang.

Mereoleona's attire consists of a white tunic, over which she wears a long, dark blue, high-collared shirt with long sleeves. The shirt is decorated with vertically striped fabric along the edges, collar, and sleeves, which she rolls up to her elbows. To keep the shirt out of the way, she wears a purple sash around her waist. She wears white pants and a long red cape over her attire.

As a member of the Crimson Lion squad, Mereoleona wears the squad's signature cape, which covers only her torso. The cape is adorned with intricate patterns along the front hem and is accessorized with a scarf. A pair of ropes protrude from the front, adorned with gemstones, and the squad's emblem is centered on the back.

Loud, brash, and inspiring fear and authority, Mereoleona possesses a strong personality. She is often aggressive towards most people around her, giving her an intimidating appearance. She is rarely formal, focusing more on action and practice than words and patience. Despite this, Mereoleona demonstrates a deep understanding of how to motivate others, even those she has just met. She respects anyone who strives to become stronger and does not judge others by their lineage or background, like her brothers.

She dislikes the Royal Capital and often detests its politics. To relieve her headaches, she went off to fight alone and explore the kingdom's remote areas, spending most of the year in the wilderness, hunting wild animals and enjoying the natural mana, which allowed her to find good training grounds. Despite her objections to becoming captain herself, she assumes command when Fuegoleon Vermillion falls into a coma and leads the Royal Knights in an attack on the Eye of the Midnight Sun, hoping to avenge her brother.

She is also shown to have no modesty or natural attitude towards nudity, as she unhesitatingly ordered everyone (both men and women) to strip naked and bathe in a hot spring together, and smiled at the men's "enthusiasm" when she heard them trying to peek at the women.

Mereoleona's enthusiasm, aggression, and thirst for battle imbue her with an aura of terror and awe. Some of the series' most powerful characters are terrified when she appears unannounced, thinking she's there to pick a fight.

Yami Sukehiro attempted to flee as soon as he learned she was at the Black Bull base, abandoning his team to their fate; Noelle Silva's arrogant attitude vanished instantly upon seeing her; and Zora Ideale described Mereoleona as a wild and untamable beast. Mereoleona craves strong opponents, ones she can fight with all her might. Her lust for battle is so intense that her face contorts into a demonic smile, and her strength intensifies the further she is cornered, much to the horror of her opponents. This, combined with her unwavering determination, has earned her the title of "The Uncrowned, Invincible Lioness."

Fire Magic: Mereoleona uses this form of magic to create and manipulate the element of fire. She typically shapes the flames into the shape of a lion's paw.

Enhancement Magic: Mereoleona uses this form of magic to enhance her physical abilities. Her mastery is sufficient to protect her from burns even while bathing in lava.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Mereoleona is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat, easily defeating any opponent she faces. Zora Ideale notes that she is more of a fighter than a mage. She uses this as her primary fighting style, but also uses her magic in conjunction with her hand-to-hand combat skills to deliver more lethal blows. Princea Funnybunny also believed she couldn't defeat Mereoleona in a fistfight.

Immense Strength: Mereoleona possesses immense physical strength, as demonstrated by her ability to send Asta flying with a single punch, despite him being in his Black Asta form. Her physical strength is great enough to fight on par with Vetto. Using Hellfire Spawn, she is strong enough to push aside the giant demon's arms and flip him onto his back.

Immense Speed: Mereoleona possesses incredible speed, able to outpace Asta in mid-air while he was in his Black Asta form. She is so fast that she can easily parry Laier's spells, and he claims her reflexes are on par with Vetto's. Zora claims her speed is monstrous.

Immense Endurance: Mereoleona possesses incredible stamina, able to withstand a combined attack from five elves without showing any signs of pain and still continue fighting. Even after depleting all her mana to use her final attack, she remains on her feet and eager to continue fighting.

Enhanced Mana Sensor: Mereoleona is extremely skilled at sensing mana, being able to instantly discern that Laier was unable to copy Asta's Anti-Magic and pierces his copy of the Demon Slayer Sword without hesitation.

Immense Magic Power: As a member of the royal family and captain of the Magic Knights, Mereoleona possesses immense magical power. Her magical power is so great that Laier claims it stems not only from her royal lineage, but also from a power completely unknown to humans. According to Vetto, Mereoleona is possibly the strongest person in the Clover Kingdom, physically speaking.

Mana Zone: Mereoleona can control all the mana around her to increase the power and range of her spells, predict enemy attacks, and maneuver in the air.

Ultimate Magic: Mereoleona has learned to transcend her human limitations and recreate elven magical techniques to fully realize her magic.

Equipment - Grimoire: Mereoleona wields a three-leaf clover grimoire containing various fire-based spells.

Family
Fuegoleon Vermillion

Mereoleona cares for her younger brother, Fuegoleon, despite their conflicting views on Magic Knights and their training. When Fuegoleon falls into a coma, she steps out of her comfort zone and replaces him as captain to exact revenge. She also highly values ​​his abilities and strength, considering him the strongest.

Leopold Vermillion

The second youngest sibling and the youngest in the family, Mereoleona is very rude to Leopold and can hit him if he contradicts her or argues. She believes he is weak without Fuegoleon, so she forces him to train in the hot springs to become stronger. However, like Fuegoleon, Leo respects and admires his sister's strength and tenacity and strives to one day surpass her.

Noelle Silva is the daughter of Asier Silva (Mereoleona's former mentor)

Mereoleona has known Noelle since she was a little girl. She cares deeply for Noelle and greatly respects her for becoming a stronger woman, despite her inability to control her magic and the fact that her own family considered her a failure. Mereoleona never insults Noelle and encourages Noelle to continue to be strong like her mother, motivating her when she begins to doubt herself.

Asier Silva

Mereoleona was very close to Acier and trained under her. She was never able to defeat her, despite being extremely powerful and possessing an elemental advantage over her Steel Magic; for this, Mereoleona greatly admired her. After her death, Mereoleona often mentions her in conversations with Noelle and uses her as motivation to become stronger.

Yami Sukehiro

Mereoleon and Yami Sukehiro bicker easily, and he even goes so far as to call her "Sistraleon" (literally, Sisgoleon), which irritates her. Despite their bickering, they both respect each other greatly and admire each other's strengths. She personally visits the Black Bull base to give Yami a gift as thanks for visiting her brother, Fuegoleon, in the infirmary.

Mereoleona is the first daughter of the Vermillion House. She was trained by Asier Silver, whom she was unable to defeat despite her superior strength and magic. The day before she received her Grimoire, Mereoleona and her younger brother, Fuegoleon, had a fight over her condemnation of the Order of Magic Knights. The resulting flames destroyed part of the Vermillion estate, and their fight was dubbed "Blood and Fire Tuesday."

Several years later, Mereoleona steps down as captain of the Crimson Lions, allowing Fuegoleon to take over.

Following an assassination attempt on Fuegoleon by the Eye of the Midnight Sun and his subsequent coma as a result of the event, Mereoleona reassumes her position as captain and, at the request of Julius Novachrono, attends the annual Star Awards Festival.

After the Crimson Lions placed fifth, Mereoleona scolds them for letting Fuegeleon down and decides they should continue training at the hot springs. When she heard Asta exclaiming about the idea of ​​training, she grabs him with her fiery paw and forces him to train with her squad. Mereoleona also grabbed Yuno, who was trying to leave, because she wanted to see the strength of this year's two best knights.

While Yami Sukehiro was praising himself, Mereoleona appeared, and Yami began to laugh at Asta's capture, but Mereoleona grabbed him too. She also grabbed Charlotte Roselei and Noelle Silva and carried them to the mouth of the All-Devouring Volcano. Mereoleona urged them to climb to the volcano's summit and the hot springs there, but no one was thrilled. She then kicked Asta and Leopold because they were distracted from their goal.

When Noelle begins to doubt herself, Mereoleona notices the girl's change and challenges her to become like her mother, which motivates Noelle. Noticing Asta collapse from exhaustion, Mereoleona tells him to go home, as he lacks the magic and determination to climb the mountain. She believes it was only luck that allowed him to become the second-strongest rookie and become the Magic Emperor. However, Asta disagrees, which motivates him to continue. He finds it difficult to respond to her, so he reduces it to a joke, which prompts Mereoleona to send him home. She then leaves him to fight.

After Asta absorbs Anti-Magic and loses control of his transformation, he rockets to the top of the volcano, where Mereoleona was waiting. She releases mana and leaps at Asta, despite his warning to run. Declaring that lionesses are hunters for their pride, she leaps into the air and punches Asta, sending him crashing into a rock. Mereoleona praises him for outdoing himself and orders everyone to strip naked to enter the hot springs.

After everyone has reached the summit, she sends back those who couldn't reach the summit before sunset and invites the rest to the springs. Sol Marron divided the spring in half, and the women changed clothes and entered one section of the spring. Mereoleona drinks sake and offers some to Charlotte, but she refuses, which offends Mereoleona.

Mereoleona's favorite things to do are drinking sake in hot springs and eating game.
