Appearance in Anime

Zenith Greyrat was born in the Holy Country of Millis as the second daughter of an Earl of Millis. Raised under the strict teachings of the Millis Church, she excelled academically and was regarded as a model noblewoman, earning her the nickname “Millis Young Lady Standard.” However, at the age of 15, she rebelled against her family and fled home to escape an arranged marriage with another noble from Millis, choosing instead to forge her own path.

Seeking work as a healer, Zenith initially ventured into solo adventuring but struggled due to her lack of experience. She was frequently deceived into providing healing services at unfairly low rates and was even used as a human shield in battle. Her misfortune continued until she was rescued by Paul Greyrat, an adventurer and swordsman. Zenith then joined his party, the Fangs of the Black Wolf, as their healer, where she gradually developed feelings for Paul.

Despite her growing affection, Zenith was hesitant to commit due to Paul’s notorious womanizing habits. She eventually gave him an ultimatum if he remained faithful to her, she would be with him. Paul agreed, and though she initially doubted his sincerity, she was taken by surprise when he kept his promise. Soon after, Zenith became pregnant with Rudeus, which left her feeling anxious, as she had never envisioned settling down with Paul. However, Paul took responsibility for their child, leading them both to retire from adventuring and settle in Buena Village, where Zenith began working at the village clinic.

Zenith is a strikingly beautiful human woman with blonde hair, which she typically styles in a ponytail, leaving chin-length strands framing either side of her face. She has blue-shaded eyes and a voluptuous figure, notably possessing large breasts, a trait later inherited by her daughter, Norn Greyrat.

Despite her actual age, Zenith retains a youthful appearance, a characteristic further emphasized after being trapped inside a magic crystal following the Teleport Incident. This prolonged suspension in the crystal seemingly preserved her features, making her look even younger than before.

Zenith is a warm and loving individual, embodying the role of a caring mother who can be strict when necessary. As a devout follower of the Millis Church, she upholds conservative morals and frequently scolds Paul for his womanizing tendencies. Her strong sense of responsibility extends to her surroundings, as she becomes visibly upset when people damage the plants in her garden.

After being freed from the Teleport Labyrinth, Zenith experiences a profound change in her demeanor. Due to the effects of her Miko powers, she exists in a dream-like state, perceiving the world as though she is trapped in a trance. While she rarely expresses emotions overtly, occasional subtle actions hint at her underlying feelings. For instance, she smiled at Norn in a moment of warmth and slapped Rudeus when he mentioned adding Eris to his family as a wife, suggesting that while her personality remains intact, it is deeply suppressed by her altered state of mind.

Zenith is a skilled magic user, primarily trained in healing magic, which she attained from the Millis noble school. Her proficiency in Intermediate Rank Healing Magic would have qualified her for work in a Millis hospital, but she instead chose the path of an adventurer, serving as a healer in her party.

Magic Proficiency

Miko Abilities

After being trapped inside a Magic Crystal during the Teleport Incident, Zenith developed a unique ability to read minds. However, this newfound power came with a severe side effect—she exists in a perpetual dream-like state, preventing her from fully waking or verbally communicating. Though she believes she is speaking, she is actually using telepathy, making it seem as though she has lost her ability to talk and respond to others.

Zenith’s mind-reading ability allows her to hear the thoughts of babies and animals, a phenomenon she initially mistook for actual speech. This was evident when she believed she could hear Lara Greyrat and Leo speaking, when in reality, she was reading their thoughts.

Additionally, Zenith possesses an extraordinary resistance to Orsted’s curse, which causes others to fear and hate him instinctively. Unlike most, she perceives his presence without any adverse reactions and has openly commented on how differently people behave around him whenever he visits Sharia.

Volume 1
Zenith is first introduced when she gives birth to Rudeus Greyrat. She later uses healing magic on him after he falls and hits his head. Upon witnessing Rudeus cast Water Cannon, an Intermediate Rank Water Magic spell, Zenith realizes his potential and persuades Paul Greyrat to hire a magic tutor, believing that her son will grow up to be a mage.

Volume 6
During Roxy Migurdia’s search for Rudeus’ missing family, she encounters Kishirika Kishirisu and pays off her drinking debt. As a token of gratitude, Kishirika uses her Clairvoyant Eyes to locate Zenith, revealing that she is in Rapan, Begaritt Continent. However, upon further inspection, she is unable to pinpoint Zenith’s precise location. Concluding that Zenith is inside the Teleportation Labyrinth, Kishirika explains that the high concentration of mana in the labyrinth prevents her from seeing within it due to her weakened state, but she reassures Roxy that Zenith is still alive.

Volume 12
Zenith is ultimately found trapped inside a magic crystal deep within the Teleportation Labyrinth. Information gathered by Geese confirms that several adventurers who previously explored the labyrinth had seen her there.

Determined to rescue her, Rudeus, Paul, Elinalise, Talhand, Roxy, and Geese venture to the seventh floor of the labyrinth, where they find Zenith encased in the magic crystal. After defeating the Manatite Hydra, the labyrinth’s guardian, the crystal shatters, freeing Zenith. However, she has lost the ability to speak and is believed to have lost her memories.

On their journey back to Sharia, Geese purchases a Jirou, a desert creature, to pull the carriage in which Zenith is transported across the desert.
