Lily inherited the Magic Armor research, and finished the All-Purpose Magic Armor in K483. Despite her ditzy nature, her work was essential in lowering casualties during the subjugation of huge creatures. Lily is terrible at horseback riding, despite having been schooled since she was a child. On the other hand, her fencing and magical abilities were far above average for a Greyrat family sibling. She is also an accomplished researcher.
6 Christina Greyrat
Christina Greyrat, the youngest child of Rudeus and Eris, possesses a distinct appeal. Unlike her siblings, she openly enjoys being spoiled by her father. Her intimate friendship with Rudeus causes her to frequently prefer his advice over her mother's, indicating her faith in his wisdom. Rudeus is first wary of her naivety when she enrolls at Asura Royal Academy, but his uncertainty turns to pride three years later when he watches her resourcefulness during a plan to discredit her. This demonstrates her development and capacity to deal with difficult conditions.
Christina's determination and growth distinguish her among the Greyrat youngsters. Her quest, however, takes an unexpected turn when Edward, the son of Luke and Ariel, approaches her about marriage. This twist complicates her character by connecting her desires and decisions with familial dynamics and societal expectations, adding to the series' narrative tapestry.
