Biography

Origin

Elizabeth Liones (Japanese: エリザベス・リオネス, Hepburn: Erizabesu Rionesu) was originally a member of the Goddess Clan and was a daughter of the Supreme Deity.

Seven Deadly Sins

Similar to before, she was reincarnated once again in a newborn infant after her previous death in the destruction of Danafor. Her lover Meliodas approached a dying mother who entrusted to him her daughter where he kept her close by his side. During this time, the couple was found by King Bartra Liones and the Great Holy Knight of Liones Zaratras. At first, Meliodas was very protective of the child after having previously lost Liz but eventually he agreed to leave the infant in the care of King Bartra and his wife Caroline. The child was named Elizabeth and were adopted by the couple as their third child where she became a Princess of the Kingdom of Liones. As a toddler, Elizabeth Liones was noted to had been very close to Meliodas who acted as her bodyguard where she missed him greatly whenever he was on a mission. She often worried that Meliodas would not return from one of his missions but he made a promise to her with him stating that he would always return alive no matter the circumstances. As a child, she often played with Gilthunder, Howzer and her adoptive sisters Veronica and Margaret.

Whilst on the run, she entered the Boar Hat tavern exhausted and clad in rusting armor, and muttering, 'the Seven Deadly Sins'. Because of rumors of the infamous "Rust Knight", Elizabeth's armor having given her the epithet, she frightens the customers into fleeing. Meliodas confronts her. She then collapses due to exhaustion, and is revealed to be female. Shortly after, Elizabeth awakes, and is asked about the reason she is traveling by Meliodas. As she begins to reveal that she is searching for the "Seven Deadly Sins", a few knights, informed by the villagers of the Rust Knight and believing him to be one of the "Seven Deadly Sins", command him to come out. While Meliodas and Hawk stall them, Elizabeth escapes from the back door, with Hawk easily defeating the pursuing knights. Elizabeth continues, explaining to the two that her search for the Seven Deadly Sins was in order to defeat the Holy Knights, who, she informs them, had orchestrated a coup d'état a few days ago, and have taken control of the kingdom. Abruptly, the portion of the cliff they have been standing on is cut off by Twigo, who arrived as a reinforcement. After Meliodas rescues Elizabeth and Hawk, Twigo, upon noticing Elizabeth's earring, realizes her being the one of the three princesses of the kingdom and begins attacking Elizabeth and Meliodas, planning to report their deaths as accidental. The young man saves her, and then again, when she decides to surrender, not wanting to involve him in her matters. Just as Twigo is about to deal the final blow, Meliodas, smiling, reveals his name and identity as the one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Dragon Sin of Wrath. After easily defeating Twigo, he then offers for her to join him, which she happily accepts, for he also searches him former comrades.

Officially hired as a waitress in Boar Hat, Elizabeth is given a new set of clothing. Curious, she questions Meliodas as to why he was labeled as a criminal, doubting that he was a villain. He initially jokes, but in the end, doesn't answer her properly. The two and Hawk soon reach Bernia, a town popular for its ale made from its river. However, they find that the river has dried up completely. Upon finding a large crowd of men trying to remove a sword after entering the town, it is revealed that a Holy Knight had sealed the river's underground water source with his sword the day before, preventing the creation of the ale, Bernia's primary source of income. While the townspeople try to remove the sword, a boy named Mead starts boasting about a friend of his, who, he claims, is a Deadly Sin. However, his claims serve only to anger the villagers, who blame Mead for their crisis. Meliodas brings him to the Boar Hat to question him about his supposed 'friend'. Elizabeth, having been told that it was Mead who angered the Holy Knight into stopping the river, manages to get him to answer after telling him about her past. Hearing the story, Mead tells them the reason, also adding that his claim of his friend being a Deadly Sin was a lie. After Meliodas easily removed the Holy Knight, Gilthunder's, sword, the villagers celebrate at the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth attempts her first time at being a waitress. She makes several mistakes along the way, and her frustration prompts her to run outside, crying. She is then found by Meliodas, who, after managing to encourage her, catches a spear which had been thrown at the town by Gilthunder, in a fortress a few miles away, and throws it back. After acknowledging that prolonging their stay would bring more danger to Bernia, the two decided to leave.

After learning that even Holy Knights avoid the Forest of White Dreams near Bernia, she, Meliodas and Hawk enter the forest, speculating that a Deadly Sin might be hiding there. After walking in the forest for more than three hours and losing their sense of direction, the three are suddenly surrounded by multiple copies of Hawk. Meliodas quickly defeats all of them, including the original, but then discovers copies of Elizabeth. After he successfully tricks and defeats them, they, are shown to be the indigenous Prankster Imps, and retreat towards the sleeping Diane, inadvertently leading the three to her, apologizing for letting a 'Holy Knight' come through, since they believe that Meliodas was a Holy Knight. After she wakes up, Diane instantly grabs Meliodas, only to cuddle him when she realizes that he is her captain. When Elizabeth introduces herself to Diane as traveling with Meliodas, Diane jumps to the conclusion that she and Meliodas are a couple, and throws a tantrum. Meliodas, after calming her down, proceeds to begin a discussion about the day the Sins were framed for the Great Holy Knight's death. Meliodas informed them that he has almost no memories of the day, then narrates the only memories he has, which end with one of the Deadly Sins apologizing to him. This makes Elizabeth speculate about the existence of a traitor within the Sins. Diane then declares that she will rejoin Meliodas. A few brief moments later, Hawk notices a gigantic thundercloud in the sky. A lightning bolt from it then binds all of them and the assailant is shown to be Gilthunder. Elizabeth immediately recognizes Gilthunder, explaining to Meliodas that he is a Holy Knight very close to her father, and a brother-figure to her. However, she quickly realizes his intentions, much to her shock. Gilthunder uses electricity to bind Diane, Meliodas, Hawk, and Elizabeth. Gilthunder unbinds her and, stating that she was insignificant, orders her to leave. She refuses, and asks him to release Meliodas and Diane instead. When Gilthunder kicks Hawk away, Elizabeth runs after the pig. Later, after Meliodas' and Gilthunder's battle, Diane flings the latter out of the forest and Meliodas, Hawk, Elizabeth, now accompanied by Diane, leave the place. Meliodas decides their next destination as Baste Dungeon, where Ban is imprisoned, Elizabeth objects, pointing out his grave wound from the battle. Though affirming that the wound was not major, he soon collapsed.

Elizabeth, Diane and Hawk then travel to a town near Baste Dungeon, called Dalmary, to have Meliodas treated. The doctor, Dana, states that his patient being alive was a miracle in itself. Sometime afterwards, Diane decides that she will head to the dungeon on her own. When Elizabeth asks to accompany her, Diane decides to head to the dungeon herself, retorting that Elizabeth would be only a hindrance when the princess asks to join. Elizabeth replies her desire to be of use, and that Meliodas was taking on 'more than he can handle'. This angers Diane, her saying that Meliodas was not doing so for the princess alone, and that such was his usual personality. She continues, narrating the episode of her and her captain's first meeting, and his treatment of her at that time. As Elizabeth declares her wishes of wanting to have strength, Diane declares her own of wanting to be small. Abruptly, Hawk notices a huge swarm of poisonous insects flying toward Dalmary. After Diane annihilates all of them, Elizabeth awes at her power, as the latter leaps out of Dalmary runs toward the dungeon, after handing Elizabeth the responsibility of taking care of Meliodas. Sometime afterward, she and Hawk watch Meliodas as Dana enters. Suddenly, a voice commends Dana for his hard work. To the shock of the both, Dana reveals that the medicine he had made Meliodas drink was actually a deadly poison. Golgius then appears behind Elizabeth, revealing himself to be the voice. He states that he has come to take Elizabeth and Meliodas' sword, and grabs the weapon. However, Meliodas was revealed to still be alive, but with his eyes now mysteriously being colored jet black, with a strange mark on his forehead. The powerful aura Meliodas is releasing frightens Golgius into fleeing. After Meliodas returns to normalcy, it was revealed that Meliodas' wound had healed, much to everyone's surprise. The three then went off to chase Golgius and find him very soon. Despite Golgius' surrendering, Meliodas noticed the blades his threw, and blocked them. When Dana also found Golgius, and the latter killed the former for censoring their deal, Elizabeth runs toward the doctor, as Meliodas blocks Golgius' attack on her. The three then escape, while Meliodas protects Elizabeth from Golgius. They enter an old building, where Elizabeth watches as Golgius falls for Meliodas' trap.

After Golgius was defeated and sent flying into the street, the Holy Knight manages to flee on a horse. Just as Meliodas and Hawk decide to head for the Baste Dungeon, Elizabeth walks toward the dying Dana. When she cries for him, he explains that he had only wanted to rescue his daughter, Sennett, as his hand falls. Elizabeth, in sorrow, blames herself for his death. Meliodas replies that he understand her, but questions whether her resolve to protect the kingdom's citizens is as weak. He, declaring that he would fulfill his promise with her even if she were to die, proceeds to give a speech. Later, Hawk and Meliodas leave Elizabeth in Dalmary while heading for the dungeon, citing the danger the Weird Fangs pose. However, she herself joins them, declaring that while she isn't a knight, she would keep fighting for the people of the kingdom even if Meliodas were to die, mirroring his prior statement. While walking, they encounter Diane, who seems to have no memories of defeating Friesia and heading for the dungeon. Diane now having joined them, Meliodas decides that rescuing Sennett, Dana's daughter, would be their primary priority, to Elizabeth's gladness. Suddenly, Diane attacks Meliodas, having previously fallen for Ruin's illusion abilities. Meliodas, immediately realizing that Diane was under an illusion, flees while carrying Elizabeth, with Hawk running behind them, and upon finding two civilians, one of whom is a young boy, walking nearby, takes them along, since they will be dragged into the battle. As they three, and the two frightened civilians, who are revealed to be shepherds from Dalmary Town, hide, Meliodas also falls under Ruin's hypnosis when he tries to look at Diane, which makes him see Ruin in her place the same way she sees Ruin in his. Quickly noticing that Meliodas has also fallen for the trap, Elizabeth tries to escape with the shepherds and Hawk, stating that they would die if the two Deadly Sins fight each other seriously.

As the two Deadly Sins continue their battle, Elizabeth desperately yells for them to stop, which causes Diane to regain her senses and memories. The young shepherd, who had met Diane on her way to Baste, goes toward her, only for her to then be hypnotized again and continue fighting Meliodas. Seeing the civilians frightened, Elizabeth declares that she will put her life on the line to protect them. Hearing that, Friesia, testing Elizabeth's declaration, uses her bugs to attack the young boy, and taunts her as she hesitates. However, much to her surprise Elizabeth willingly enters the tornado of insects, being injured in the process, and protects the boy. The child, however, replying that while her risking injury to protect a child was admirable, reality is harsh, reveals himself to be a disguised Ruin under an illusion. As Elizabeth asks him to undo the hypnosis, he pulls her with the hair and knees her in the chest, and hits her in the head with the top of his staff when she manages to get up. Telling Friesia that nothing was better than the face of a young girl writhing in pain, Ruin, in commendation for her bravery, explains to Elizabeth that the source of his illusions was his staff's bell, only to find it to have been removed by Elizabeth when she was hit with the top of the staff. He lashes out in anger, but before he can kill her, is stopped by Meliodas, who has regained his senses since the source of the hypnosis has been removed. Meliodas, telling the unconscious Elizabeth that he has accepted her resolution, then fights Ruin, soon defeating him. Diane, having come to her senses as well, quickly defeats Friesia also, and although initially deciding to take Elizabeth to Dalmary in order to treat her severe injuries, then takes her to the Baste Dungeon on her own request, with the princess sleeping in the giant's bag. After the dungeon is destroyed, and everyone, including Ban, Sennett and all the other villagers imprisoned there, return to Dalmary Town, she is questioned by Diane and Meliodas as to how she is feeling. Elizabeth, however, starts worrying and questions them about the well-being others, to which Hawk retorts that she should worry about herself before others. She then requests for Meliodas to join Sennett.
