Elsa Granhiert

Elsa Granhirte (エルザ・グランヒルテ) is a character in Re:Zero.

Appearance
Elsa has long black hair tied into one tail on the left side along with eyes that droop, giving her a gentle aura. She wears a black dress and wields bent black swords from the northern lands.

Personality
Elsa is a battle maniac, not even hesitating to injure herself if she can fight strong opponents, which is helped by her abnormal healing rate. This is also shown through her persistence. Despite being a Vampire, she doesn't drink blood, nor does she receive any ill effects when under the sun. Her favorite things are seeing colorful bowels and touching warm looking internal organs. Within combat, she enjoys cleaving through the abdominal region with the intent of tearing the target's bowels out.

Volume 1
Elsa first appeared when she kills Subaru in the loot house, and shortly after, Satella. She appeared again after Subaru's revival when he tries to negotiate with Felt for Emilia's insignia.

After she lost in a bidding war to Subaru, she asked him what he will use the insignia for. Subaru answered her by stating that he will return it to its owner. As a result, Elsa began to attack him, Old Man Rom, and Felt. Despite Rom and Felt trying to retaliate, she ended up killing both of them, one by one. She finally faces off Subaru, and admires his determination. Subaru managed to dodge one of her strikes before kicking her. However, he then realized he was cut open again and dies again.

Later, in his fourth life, Subaru accidentally ran into Elsa. He tried to hide his fear, yet Elsa claimed that she can smell it. She lets him go as she had somewhere she needed to go, but says she thinks that they will meet again one day.

Trivia

 * According to the author, Elsa's birthday is April 29, a pun on death and meat.
