Akame Ga Kill - EsDeath

Esdeath is a high-ranking general of the Empire. Eventually, due to Night Raid's effectiveness as an assassination unit, she becomes the leader of the Jaegers under the orders of the Prime Minister. She is deeply in love and obsessed with Tatsumi. Esdeath is a tall, beautiful and slender woman with long blue hair and blue eyes. She wears a General's apparel with long sleeves, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, which is the proof of her Teigu. Esdeath is a sadist who lacks empathy for people of whom she deems weak, since she lives by her father's philosophy The strong survive and the weak die. She enjoys putting her enemies through great pain, both physically and emotionally. She has no qualms about killing innocent people to get what she wants, and rationalizes her behavior with her father's old creed. Esdeath however is not completely heartless, since she cares about her comrades and adores them, and this in turn inspires their intense loyalty and devotion.

When the Three Beasts were killed she viewed it as being natural for the weak to be destroyed by the strong, but still went and put flowers on their graves and said that she will take revenge for them. Esdeath has been shown to comfort her comrades when they are in emotional pain, as seen with Seryu Ubiquitous, despite the fact that this seems to contradict her views on the strong and the weak. Upon seeing Tatsumi's victory smile in a tournament she held, she instantly became deeply and genuinely in love with Tatsumi and immediately claimed him as her own. She then seeks advice from Bols on how to win Tatsumi's heart, and plans to have Tatsumi fall for her using Bols advice. Believing him to be uniquely worthy of her affection, she refuses to show romantic interest in any one other than him, claiming he is the only one she can see as a man and is willing to do anything to protect and keep him saying that she burns with the passion to possess him completly in order to see his smile and have his feelings. She shows little concern when Tatsumi tries to convince her to join the rebellion army saying that its understandable that people hate the Empire and that he would no longer have to worry about it as long as he remained with her, as she would not allow anything to happen to him. When Tatsumi escaped from the Jaegers on mount fake, Esdeath only became more infatuated with Tatsumi, saying her desire for him was hotter now that he left. But while she said that, in the case of Tatsumi fighting the Jaegers that the jaegers would have to fight back, she held on to the believe that Tatsumi was not that weak, and that his will to fight and survive was a wonderful thing, vowing that when they would meet again she would force all her feeling into him. Her affections for Tatsumi also change many aspects of her cold and battle fanatic character as she even goes on what she claimed to be a night patrol but in truth she wanted to stroll because the moon looked pretty, saying that such a thing is out of her character and that it's Tatsumi's fault.

Her personality also changes a great deal as she becomes incredibly loving and caring for Tatsumi, making her happier, gentle and more at ease. She even goes so far as to improve the abilities of her teigu to the point she could freeze time and space for the sole purpose of never letting Tatsumi run away. Her love for him is to such an extent that she hesitated to fight him in Incurso despite all the openings he had, feeling like a part of her did not want to fight Incurso, despite not knowing that Tatsumi was inside Incurso. Esdeath has also shown to be feeling down whenever Tatsumi is not present and tends to feel sad and lonely when thinking about him. She also has a book of where she drew pictures of Tatsumi that she looks at from time to time. Also, despite being a battle fanatic and smiling at the thought of more rebellions, her smile instantly faded when her thoughts turned to Tatsumi as she hoped they would meet again soon. Even after she realised that Tatsumi was a member of Night Raid, she protected him from being violated by members of Wild hunt, and despite all the questions she wanted to ask and have answered, she stopped caring about such things as soon as she saw Tatsumi and embraced him, saying that she missed him despite knowing that they were enemies. Her kindness however does not get in the way of her desire for only strong fighters, as she orders her soldiers to fight back against Tatsumi if he refuses to surrender peacefully, but she did so believing that Tatsumi was not that weak and that he would survive and they would meet again. She also subjected Wave to light torture as punishment when he failed to prevent Tatsumi from escaping the Jaegers and letting a member of Night Raid escape not knowing that the one who was inside Incurso was Tatsumi at that time. Esdeath loves to fight and holds special respect for strong opponents, which she shows when she openly recognizes Susanoo as a warrior rather than a simple Teigu. Her love of battle has occasionally inspired her to take actions that would incite more hatred against the empire, in the hopes of being able to put down more rebellions. After the events of Run's conversion to a puppet due to Wild Hunt, Esdeath claims that they will not get away with it; despite Wild Hunt's leader being the Prime Minister's son.
