To him, Roxy is not just "one of his wives," but a guide for his life, an object of faith, and his most respected mentor. | Full Name | Rudeus Greyrat | | Alias | Quagmire | | Mage Rank | Water Saint Class (inherited from Roxy) | | Life Goals | "Live this life to the fullest," "Protect my family at all costs" | | Special Skills | Incantation-less magic, mana calculation, praying to Roxy | The Special Bond with Roxy (Evolution of their Relationship) Roxy's influence on Rudeus's life changes through the following stages: 1. [Childhood] Savior from Fear (Encounter with a Goddess) It was his master, Roxy, who unconsciously led Rudeus out into the world when he was unable to leave the house due to trauma from his previous life. He deifies her as the "Goddess who led me to the outside world." He formed his own unique religious view (Roxyism), such as worshipping the "relic" (panties) he stole from Roxy upon graduation as a sacred object. 2. [Adolescence] Hope Amidst Despair (Reunion and Marriage) The two had a dramatic reunion in the "Teleportation Labyrinth" during the quest to rescue Zenith. Emotional Support: It was her maternal acceptance that saved Rudeus when he became a shell of a man after losing his father, Paul. Marriage: After conquering the labyrinth, they were united. For Rudeus, "marrying a Goddess" was a source of supreme, albeit awe-inspiring, happiness. Relationship After Marriage: Becoming Equal Partners After marriage, the two became a very calm couple bound by deep trust. Household Role: The knowledgeable Roxy serves as a reliable advisor to Rudeus. Although Rudeus possesses immense power, he never forgets his humility as a "student" when in Roxy's presence. Unchanging Devotion: Even as his wife, his worship of her as a "Goddess" continues, and Rudeus never fails to offer his daily prayers (and bows to the sacred object). Roxy is a bit exasperated by this but accepts it. "Seriousness" to Protect Roxy One of Rudeus's primary motivations for submitting to Hitogami and becoming a subordinate of the Dragon God Orsted was to "avoid a future where Roxy (his family) is killed." He chose to protect her peace even if it meant throwing away all of his pride. > "Master is a lighthouse for me that will never go out." (Rudeus's true feelings toward Roxy, a blend of profound respect and love.)
