Adenela is the Goddess of War (戦争の女神；Sensou no Megami). She has more knowledge of sword arts than even Cerceus. Previously, she was the sole possessor of her special move, Eternal Sword, until Seiya quickly mastered it.

Similar to other goddesses, Adenela is quickly smitten and falls in love with Seiya, going so far as to comb her hair, tidy her appearance, and even make him a cake, which he rejects.

Appearance

Adenela has pale skin, red eyes and long purple hair that is messy. There are also bags under her eyes. She also appears to cry blood.

She wears a torn shirt and harem pants and looks very young overall, despite being hundreds of years old.

After falling for Seiya, she completely changed her appearance. She began wearing a much more formal dress, her hair was changed to be completely straight, and her eyes have were swapped to a much less sleepy and more cutesy look.

Personality

Adenela, despite being a goddess, is unhinged and repulsive. Her hair is unkempt, she wears rags, her eyes look lifeless, and are often described as sinister. She stutters a lot. She is also seen smiling eerily nearly all the time, even when depressed or bloodthirsty. However, when she falls in love with Seiya, she cleans up her appearance and speaks fluidly, gushing her emotions of love in a cute girly voice.

After being rejected by Seiya, she goes on a rampage, swearing revenge upon Seiya. A few episodes later, Rista discovers Adenela alone in her room, where she had repeatedly written the word 'KILL' (written 殺す, korosu) in blood all over the wall. Adenela then sneaks up behind Rista, returned to her previously ghastly visage. She once again sneaks up on Rista when they meet Seiya training with Mitis, another goddess. Eventually Seiya calms her down, and Adenela once again becomes sweet and smitten. She forgives Seiya, saying she cannot stay mad at a handsome man.

In general, her characterization, like many of this show's characters, tends to swing wildly between emotions.

History

When she was first introduced, she was characterized as a creep. After teaching Seiya her move, Eternal Sword, however, she became completely love-struck and changed her behavior and appearance to be more befitting of a goddess. Though the change was short-lived, as once Seiya rejected her cake and love, she reverted back to her deranged self.

During Seiya and his companions' journey, Adenela grew from deranged to psychotic. She repeatedly wrote "kill you" all over her walls, as she was obsessed with wanting to kill Seiya. However, upon confronting him, her murderous intent immediately faded away after being patted on the head. Adenela became love-struck once again and returned to her 'normal' self.

The next time she meets Seiya, he asks her to stop Crossed Thanatos who is chasing him, promising to spend more time with her on his next visit if she does. She eagerly attacks the monster but is predictably crushed by the foe.

Relationships

Seiya

She is completely infatuated with Seiya, despite being repeatedly insulted and rejected by him. Adenela frequently tells others like Rista that Seiya is truly amazing.

Ristarte

Rista is shocked when she sees Adenela completely transformed after falling in love with Seiya, saying that Seiya is a goddess-slayer. When Seiya rejected Adenela's cake, Rista was relieved as she may have harbored some feelings of jealousy, especially since Adenela and Seiya spent so much time training together.

After Seiya died from the effect of Valhalla gate, she tried to comfort Rista. She also threatens Cerceus for constantly trying to present Rista a cake.

Powers and Abilities

As a goddess, she has natural immortality and cannot be killed by conventional means. She is an expert sword fighter, being stronger than Cerceus. She also is extremely fast, both in her skill with the sword as well as overall. She also seems to be a decent baker, given the appearance of her self-made cake for Seiya.
