Rias Gremory, the master of Issei and the others, who are all reincarnated devils at her hand, the sadistic yet kind Akeno, the dashing and true friend Kiba, and power-house Koneko. Really, the fun, unique world of DxD, with so many myths, and such a unique spin on them, as well as the action and unusual nature of the very flawed and very admirable and stellar, hero, is fun to read.
