Esdeath is one of the most powerful and feared generals of the Empire in Akame ga Kill!.
Known for her beauty, cruelty, and unmatched combat skill, she commands absolute respect and fear from allies and enemies alike.
Her power comes from the Teigu (Imperial Arm) “Demon’s Extract,” which gives her the ability to manipulate and create ice — forming weapons, freezing entire armies, and even stopping time with her ultimate technique.
