Enne

Zaien (罪焔 'ざいえん') is a main character in Maou ni Natta node... She is the sword Yuki forged from the cursed axe, the ancient hero's sword , and a bunch of orichalcum. As Yuki was making Zaien's sheath, he found Zaien to have feminine preferences and decided to treat her like a girl. Yuki nicknamed her Enne (エン) because Zaien isn't a girly name.

Yuki gave the skill scroll for Personification to Zaien so she could interact with the other dungeon residents.

Appearance
Zaien is a tachi, a longer sub-type among Japanese katana. Zaien lacks a guard and even Yuki with his high stats feels the resistance from her weight. Her blade is crimson and becomes darker and sharper as she consumes more blood.

While in human form, Enne has short, glossy black hair adorned with red and black ribbons on the sides of her head. Her eyes gleam with the same black as her hair and look almost doll-like. She is basically deadpan. Although she is a genderless sword, she took a female form after Yuki and Illuna treated her like a girl. Illuna treated Enne as a girl the moment she met her and Yuki treated her like a girl because of her preferences.

Personality
Originally, even from before Enne acquired full sentience, she was somewhat self-aware as a cursed weapon. Back then, she was more of a 'will' then an intelligence. Despite that, she hated herself for being a cursed weapon that controlled other people into doing horrible things. A big indication towards her innate kindness despite her cursed origins.

Despite having been a genderless weapon, Yuki had the impression that Enne had more feminine preferences. Later this was made more clear once she humanizes.

Now, Enne considers herself Yuki's daughter and main weapon. . She's possessive about her title as the latter to challenge and potentially destroy any other sword that could even remotely threaten that position. So much so that whenever Yuki can't use Enne for whatever reason, he's forced to use some kind of blunt non-sword-like weapon. Her competitiveness stretches to being unable to stand being inferior to the weapons of Yuki's enemies.

An interesting trait about Enne is that she is a weapon of justice. This comes from both her identity as the daughter of the Demon Lord of Justice and her innate nature that makes her a weapon meant to cut down evil. As seen in her initial description, Enne despises sin and will ruthless cut down sinners.

History
Before meeting Yuki, Enne was a cursed axe who began their life on a warzone somewhere. Being wielder by men who went mad because of her curse. It hated the fact that she was a cursed weapon thus cursing her own existence. After years of cycling through the killing, slaughter, and massacre's, driven by the madness of owners that have fallen to her curse, the cursed axe made it's way to Yuki's hands. Who, for the first time, fought back the curse and completely resisted it. Giving the cursed weapon solace.

After Yuki returned from his second visit to Alfyro, he rested a little before he reforged the cursed axe. Yuki had learned from using his weapon creation skills to seek simplicity and fell on the goal of forging a weapon with immense weight and sharpness. In the back of his mind, he kept the visual concept of becoming less sinister and more dignified. He reforged the curse axe by using orichalcum and the ancient hero's sword he found. Thus reforging, and bringing about the rebirth of the curse axe into its new form as a long, heavy, and sharp, Taichi.

With the new form, the curse was gone and the budding will within was finally free of its control. Thus finding peace for the first time since its creation. Only to burst in happiness when Yuki gave his new weapon the name Zaien.

Becoming his main weapon, Zaien was able to telepathically communicate with Yuki through its wills and intentions. Happiness, loneliness, and competitiveness were all emotions that it was able to pass. It was only after a fight against the Manticore that Zaien was able to manifest a more sentient consciousness enough to humanize and begin interacting with the rest of the dungeon.

Following the battle with Dragon Lord Gilordio, Yuki augmented Zaien with one of Lefi's fangs. Thus becoming akin to the daughter of both the Demon Lord and Supreme Dragon.

Enne and Layla accompanied Yuki on his visit to the demon kingdom. Enne kept women from seducing him.

Enne joined Yuki and Nell on their trip to the capital but stayed in Yuki's item box most of the time to give the couple some alone time.
