Arla Suizahn is a Seraph Angel, acting as the current matriarch of the Suizahn Clan, who are well recognized among the Warrior Angel Clans, having been married into after losing her clan to Demons; she is the mother of Kieri and Kazai.

Appearance

Arla's face resembles Kieri's; while she has a similar forelock, she lacks the twins' two-pronged cowlick, and her hair is swept to the sides at the back. She is frowning most of the time. As a Seraph Angel, she wears a chest-plate that covers her torso, with her Angel Emblems embroidered along the collar-line, extending a bit to her legs and having small shoulder pads. Otherwise her general appearance resembles that of most adult Angels.

Personality

Arla is very aggressive, as a result from her upbringing. Born from a different clan, her family was slaughtered by Demons which caused her to grow an immense hatred toward them.

Her aggressive nature causes her to shout often and be physically violent, even on her own children. At times, she appears to intimidate even her husband, and be the one really in charge of the Suizahn family.

She appears to dismiss many of her daughter's issues; even when Kieri was young, Arla couldn't believe she was "really" sick, as Kazai was fine. She also tells her to "get over" her issues, and berates her for her failures.

She holds strong traditionalist beliefs, as even though the Great War is over, she pushes her children to train as Warriors. She puts value in the Suizahn name as honorable Demon-slayers, as fighting is "in their blood".

History

Past

Long before the main events of Slightly Damned, Arla was considered a Caretaker Angel. However the clan she was in was massacred during the Great War, leaving her as the only survivor. While she wasn't a Warrior Angel herself, the event would cause her to become one and gain an immense hatred toward Demons. She managed to climb the ranks and become a Seraph, even though it was difficult. She would later marry into the Suizahn Clan and have two children.

Much of what is known of Arla and her time with her children would come from Kieri's memories of Heaven. They have shown her to praise Kazai for his efforts in training, while scolding Kieri for not doing the same.

She was known to hit Kieri on several occasions, push her to train until she hurt herself and bang on her door to be let in. Many times, she dismissed her concerns and told her to "get over" her problems.

Powers and Abilities

Overall Abilities: While having been born into a clan of Caretaker Angels, Arla was able to work her way up among the ranks of Warrior Angels and become a Seraph by her own right. As a Seraph, she is presumably very strong and influential to those of lower rank.

Expert Dual-Blade Specialist: It can be presumed that Arla is highly skilled in dual-wielding weapons, given her position in Heaven's army, though her actual skill has yet to be seen.

Equipment

Holy Water Katanas: It can be presumed that, based on the one piece of artwork depicting her frontal body features, Arla possesses and uses them in combat. The blades resemble how traditional katanas would look, with a blue guard in the shape of the Water element, with a light-colored handle and blue tip.

Trivia

• Arla's full face was first seen in outside artwork, along with Khalav's; however, while his name was shown on a name tag, hers was kept obscured.
