Ruri-chan
Overview[edit]
Ruri-chan is the main protagonist of an anime called "The Magical Ruri Hana: Demon Girl", which is one of Leviathan's favorite anime.
She's a demon who moves to the Human World in order to learn more about it. However, in doing so, she loses some of her magical powers and turns into a young girl, only regaining her original form when she returns to the Devildom. She has a companion called Azuki-tan, who's an imagawayaki (pancake filled with red bean paste).
Leviathan admires how she's given up her true form just to learn more about humans, and states that he'd support her regardless of which form she's in. Asmodeus prefers Ruri-chan in her true, grown-up form.
Her fandom seems quite small in the Devildom, as seen in the Devilgram Offline Ruri-Chan Meetup!
In the Devilgram Belphie Goes to C.S.!, the line Belphegor is supposed to say when in Ruri-chan cosplay is "In the face of adversity, there will always be petunias!" This may be one of Ruri-chan's catchphrases.
Story[edit]
In Lesson 7-4, Leviathan mentioned owning a figurine of Ruri-chan's pet, Peetie the Pancake.
According to Leviathan's Rainy Season dialogue, in the episode "Ruri-chan and the Tree Frog" Ruri-chan makes a magic doll to pray for fine weather.
According to Leviathan's Dango Over Flowers Fair dialogue, episode 32 of the anime is known as the hanami episode. In this episode, Hiro-kun nearly accidentally ate Azuki-tan. At the 12 minutes and 44-second mark of the episode, there is a scene of Ruri-chan running through cherry blossoms.
As Leviathan mentions in his Cursed Cutlery dialogue, Ruri-chan hates carrots. However, in Episode 12 of Season 1, she was able to eat them and received a pat on the head from Azuki-tan for doing so.
As mentioned in the chat Tough Decisions, some other characters from the anime include Taichi-senpai, Miyabi-senpai, and Hiro-kun. All of these characters had the potential to rank 5th place in a character popularity poll. In Lesson 24, it's mentioned that Taichi-senpai is a fish-shaped cake about a year or two older than Azuki-tan. Azuki-tan has a crush on Taichi-senpai.
Ruri★Tunes[edit]
In Nightbringer, the player is able to progress through the story by playing rhythm games in Ruri★Tunes. Ruri-chan herself and other characters are seen in the background of the app. If the player has a VIP subscription, they are able to have Ruri-chan on their team. She has her own set of dialogues when she is selected, and the other two characters on the player's team have special dialogues when reacting to her presence.
Dialogues[edit]
- "Ruri Hana! Ru-Ru Ruri!"
- "Flowers never say never!"
