Rui Arneb

Louis Arneb (ルイ・アルネブ) is a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing the satiation aspect of Gluttony. First introduced in Arc 5, she later served as one of the main antagonists of Arc 6, alongside her brothers. She reappeared in Arc 7 as a supporting character.

She is a spiritual being, born without a body. Learning of Return by Death, she ate Subaru's memories and latched onto him to gain the ability for herself. However, Subaru ultimately managed to defeat her and left her for dead, though she is later revealed to have survived but now has amnesia herself. She was transported along with Rem and Subaru to Vollachia and is currently in an unknown location alongside Rem.

Appearance
Louis has large blue eyes and extremely long blonde hair that can cover the floor like a golden sea. Her body is white as pottery and she wears rags unbefitting her beauty. During the events of the 6th arc in the Hallway of Memories, she made her appearance in an elegant and almost transparent white dress which suited her extremely well.

Personality
Subaru describes her as a girl that'd look good with a smile, yet he describes her "smile" as a smirk, and gave off the feeling that she made light of a lot of peoples' lives. She is also described to be evil intent in the shape of a child. Louis doesn't care much about what she eats, putting more emphasis on who she eats with. Also, the three speak in a collective manner using us and we instead of first or third person.

Being the youngest sibling, Louis initially​ gives off the impression of being respectful and loving towards her brothers, but later reveals that she found them idiotic for blindly eating lives for her just because she was unable to exit the Corridor of Memories. Louis believes that life is unfair and is like a conveyor belt, without having the ability to choose the family, environment and future to be born into. Advocating her actions and beliefs as a way to search for happiness, she mentions that she is making an effort to find the life that will satisfy her and let her live with her head held high, and currently believes that Subaru's​ life will provide her that fulfillment, as he is able to return by death, which will give her the ability to undo any mistakes she may make in future.

After experiencing Return By Death, the Louis that had entered Subaru's soul as a Witch Factor became traumatized and got into a fight with the Louis within the Corridor of Memories, who retained her original personality. The end result of this confrontation was that Louis became mind-broken, regressing into an infant-like state.

After mysteriously materializing in the real world, Arneb's mind deteriorated into an infantile state. She was incapable of speech and complex thinking, instead displaying a mind driven by instinct similar to an animal's. Interestingly, she seemed to have an amicable inclination towards Subaru in this state, despite his previous actions against her. She would even go as far as to affectionately lick his face and protect him when others threatened his life, as was the case when she tackled Rem when the demon girl tried to strangle Subaru's. Even when he openly abused Louis she continued to act friendly towards Subaru.

History
During the events at the Pleiades Watchtower, she loses her brothers with Lye Batenkaitos being killed and the capture of Roy Alphard. After the tower got recaptured, Louis Arneb, Natsuki Subaru and Rem were sent to Vollachia by Volcanica.

Abilities
Authority of Gluttony (暴食の権能 Bōshoku no Ken'nō): Louis is able to use the Authority of Gluttony.
 * Gluttony (暴食 Bōshoku)
 * Louis can eat the name and memories of their opponent. To eat a name, she touches them with her left hand, then licks the palm of the same hand. Things such as experience, talent, and the likes and dislikes of human relationships serve as food for her, allowing her to take advantage of any abilities or memories her opponents had. However, if she eats a fake name, she becomes plagued with severe nausea. Even after killing Louis, the names and memories of the forgotten will not return to their original owners.
 * Those that have had their names eaten have their existences erased from the world, destroying any human relationships along with negating any contracts with Spirits.
 * Those that have their memories eaten become amnesic and any characteristics they may have had are reset, effectively making them into a different person.
 * Those that have both their name and memories eaten simply become a shell, and although they live, they no longer eat, excrete waste, or age, putting them in suspended animation.
 * They cannot eat the same person twice until that individual gains enough new memories to establish a different sense of self from their old one.
 * Eclipse (蝕)
 * Eclipse is considered to be the trump card of gluttony. It is divided into two types; Solar Eclipse (日食 Nisshoku) and Lunar Eclipse (月食 Gesshoku).
 * Lunar Eclipse allows the holder to use the victims' memories and harvest their skills and knowledge. Lye, for example, used Lunar Eclipse to greatly boost his physical strength and perform numerous martial art techniques including The Palm of the Fist King and the Leaper technique. It is worth noting that by eating a person's name and using Lunar Eclipse, Louis does not gain her victims' Divine Protections or Spirit Arts.
 * Solar Eclipse allows the holder to harvest his victims' name and transform their appearance accordingly. Louis, for example, transformed into Neiji Rockheart and numerous other victims she and her two brothers had eaten throughout the years, using her sibling's body. Both Lye and Roy dislike having Solar Eclipse used on them. According to them, Solar Eclipse made them feel as if their selves were being damaged, making it unendurable. Unlike Lye and Roy, Louis tends to primarily use Solar Eclipse as she doesn't share the same fear as her two brothers.
 * Leaper technique: This technique allows Louis to move with extreme speed undetectable by the naked eye, essentially allowing her to leap behind his opponents or avoid extremely precise and quick attacks. Due to the extreme speed, it seems like she's teleporting around the battlefield. She's also capable of utilizing it vertically, making it appear as if she's flying. This move originally belonged to Dorkell.
 * Carnivorous Beast: In the Web Novel, Louis displays this ability which allows her to strengthen her body which gives her two advantages: she can withstand powerful attacks and strengthen her limbs to deliver devastating blows. With this ability, she was able take a hit from Emilia's ice spear and came out unscathed and deliver a retaliating punch that is said to be as devastating as getting hit by a car. This ability formerly belonged to Beli Heinelga.
 * Birthing: Louis mentioned that there would be problems in Giving Birth when she had transformed Lye's body. This mention was cut out from the Light Novel.
 * This may refer to her ability to split herself into two.

Trivia

 * Like the other Sin Archbishops (with the exception of Stride Vollachia), Louis received her namesake from a celestial body. "Arneb" was a former name for Alpha Leporis, the brightest star in the Lepus constellation. The word was derived from the Arabic term أرنب (arnab), which translates to "hare".
 * Louis does not think fondly of her brothers despite them bringing her food and to some degree caring for her.
 * In a Q&A, the author stated that if Daphne and Louis Arneb, Roy Alphard and Lye Batenkaitos, were to fight, it would most likely end in a draw.
