Personality-wise, Guila is disciplined, focused, and somewhat reserved. Early on, her motivations seem purely duty-driven, and she is loyal to the Holy Knights' cause. However, as the series progresses, layers of her personality are revealed. Guila’s greatest motivation is her love and protectiveness towards her younger brother, Zeal. This familial bond drives her decisions and adds depth to her otherwise stoic character. Over time, her loyalty shifts, particularly as she questions the true nature of the Holy Knights and their corrupted agenda.

Her ability to detonate objects at will gives her immense destructive power on the battlefield.

  Holy Knight Strength: As a Holy Knight, Guila possesses enhanced physical abilities, including superhuman strength, speed, and endurance. This makes her a deadly adversary even without her magical abilities.
