Hedyeh

Details about Hedyeh’s physical attributes are not specified.

She is usually seen by Ayse’s side, carrying herself with unwavering composure.

Hedyeh is zealously loyal to Ayse Khadim, putting her mistress above all else.

Her faith leads her to extremes—she blindly abides by rigid religious precepts, often at the expense of conventional morality.

To her, anyone other than Ayse is utterly insignificant, barely more than dust.

She displays a relentless, wasp-like aggressiveness, combined with the cruelty of a redback spider and the coldness of an army ant.

Her devotion can manifest in deeply troubling ways, such as attempting to murder Akiharu Hino merely for seeing Ayse’s exposed skin, or even encouraging Ayse’s self-destructive actions under the guise of religious duty.

Hedyeh is enrolled in Hakureiryo Academy’s Senior High Division, Class 2-A, in the Noble Upbringing Department.

Her role as Ayse Khadim’s attendant goes far beyond basic service—she embodies the ideal servant, always acting in her master’s best interest.

Among a faculty and student body notorious for their strangeness, her abnormal behavior stands out as distinctly intense even in these eccentric surroundings.

She has earned several chilling nicknames, such as “Murder Maid,” “Living Cleaver,” “Guillotine Born of Man,” and “Hakureiryo’s B.O.W.”

Hedyeh possesses formidable skills as a maid and protector.

She doesn’t hesitate to threaten, intimidate, or even physically harm if it means defending Ayse or upholding the faith’s laws.

Her readiness to use poison, weapons, or intimidation underlines both her courage and her ruthless nature.

Her prime strength, however, is her ironclad loyalty and ability to take decisive action regardless of consequences.

Ayse Khadim is the sole focus of Hedyeh’s loyalty, love, and devotion.

Her view of Ayse’s suitor, Akiharu Hino, is scathing—she assaults and insults him relentlessly, showing clear disdain.

If anyone contradicts Ayse’s wishes, Hedyeh will go as far as threatening them with deadly force.

Nevertheless, she’s fully aware that if Akiharu and Ayse were to marry and her own position was reversed, she might face revenge—the risk doesn’t faze her.

Though she laughs at Akiharu’s hesitation to marry, she secretly acknowledges his resolve.

Hedyeh’s voice is provided by Haruka Tomatsu.

Despite her harshness, she’s a perfect example of one whose intentions are pure but whose actions—blinded by religious dogma—invite fear and intrigue.

“B.O.W.” is a nickname from her peers referencing an infamous bio-weapon, capturing her inhuman intimidation.

“Anyone who lays eyes on the forbidden must pay the price.”

“I serve only Ayse—others are mere dust beneath my feet.”

Interactions with Akiharu Hino

When Akiharu accidentally glimpses Ayse in a state of undress, Hedyeh reflexively attempts to kill him to uphold her faith’s strict rules.

Ayse intervenes, sparing Akiharu, at which point Hedyeh shifts tactics: she tries—with barb-laced methods like poison and intimidation—to force them closer together, still acting for Ayse’s supposed benefit.

Role in Religious Observance

Driven by the fierce tenets of the Arflam faith, Hedyeh is sometimes willing to let Ayse come to harm if dictated by her religion.

Her unwavering adherence to her doctrine expresses itself in actions most would consider immoral or cruel.

Life at Hakureiryo Academy

Hakureiryo Academy is a breeding ground for notorious oddballs and outcasts, but even among them, Hedyeh is legendary for her intensity and violently zealous disposition.

Her terrifying reputation is marked by the way she enforces her own sense of justice with ruthless efficiency.

Despite her merciless behavior, Hedyeh is capable of recognizing resolve and sincerity in others, as seen with Akiharu.

Her acts of cruelty are not spontaneous; they’re calculated, and she’s perceptive enough to anticipate potential consequences.

Her extreme loyalty and willingness to embrace any outcome for Ayse’s sake form the core of her unforgettable character.
