shalltear bloodfallen

"First, second, and third Floor Guardian, Shalltear Bloodfallen, at your command."
— Shalltear's Introduction
Shalltear Bloodfallen (シャルティア・ブラッドフォールン) is a true vampire and a Floor Guardian of the first to third floors in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She was created by Peroroncino.

Appearance
Shalltear is a vampire of short stature and has the appearance of a buxom fourteen-year-old girl. Described as true beauty, she has pale shiny skin, seductive crimson-red eyes, and fine facial features. Shalltear's silver hair is tied in a ponytail through a large ribbon on top of it all, allowing others full view of her face.

While so, Shalltear wears a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt. Her upper body is dressed in a lace embellished ribbon and a short tailored jacket. Her hands are donned with long lace gloves, not exposing any bit of skin exterior. However, her breasts are fake and are completely flat, similar to a boy's. She covers this up by using an excessive amount of breast pads.

When fully-equipped in battle, Shalltear can be seen dressed in a suit of red-colored full plate armor which looked like it had been drenched in blood. She wore a swan-shaped helmet that left only her pale face exposed. There were also plumes of avian feathers attached from either side of the helmet she wears. Additionally, the chest and shoulders of her armor had been styled into the shape of wings. She also had a crimson skirt-like armor covering her lower body.

In her True Vampire form, her appearance changes drastically. Her mouth becomes a gaping circular maw, not unlike a lamprey's, with a very long tongue hanging out. The shape of her eyes become quite inhuman and they glow brightly. Her form becomes hunched over and somewhat simian, with deadly claws on both her hands and feet and an eerie aura surrounds her body. In this form, she wears a much simpler raggedy dress.

Personality
Shalltear has a very flirtatious personality and is open with her sexual preferences, often to her peers' discomfort including her master Ainz. So far, she has displayed a preference for necrophilia, sadomasochism and bi-sexuality. For that reason, Shalltear tends to make sexual advances towards undead like Yuri Alpha who tries to avoid her as best as she could. Despite her apparent shamelessness and honesty, she can be quite innocent about certain things. Shalltear also happens to be quite perplexed about her petite figure, which she attempts to cover up by using breast pads. Furthermore, she tends to easily misinterpret the old sayings of the 41 Supreme Beings and takes it out of context.

As a true vampire, Shalltear is extremely proud and takes her position as a Floor Guardian very seriously. Yet, at the same time, she has no patience or tolerance for failure and would often burst into fits of rage at the sign of an unfavorable situation occurring. Shalltear will not hesitate to kill any servant who disappoints her; however, she will not punish others for failing in tasks that are impossible, to begin with. When Shalltear fails a mission, she tends to fall into a state of depression and can become very reflective of the sins committed by her. In fact, she believes that her crime must not go unpunished, feeling guilty of the terrible things she has done to cause Ainz trouble.

Shalltear is completely loyal to Ainz and in a romantic sense, is also considered to be the love rival to Albedo for his affections. She takes great joy in being able to prove her worth and fantasizes about the praise she expects to receive from Ainz. When a situation doesn't go in her favor, Shalltear fearfully panics about the scolding she believes that she will get by him. However, she seems to have a taste for enjoying the punishment Ainz ordered her to do like being his chair to sit on. After learning of the mistakes from her last mission, Shalltear began to act more vigilant and careful of the environment around her, planning precautionary measures accordingly based on the kind of situation she is in.

Background
Shalltear Bloodfallen was created by Peroroncino. Peroroncino created and used Shalltear as one of the subjects of his own desires where he can act openly around his perversion and love of H-games. According to Shalltear, he had also programmed her to have a sibling-like feud with Aura, one of the dark elf twins who was created by his older sister, Bukubukuchagama. In the Light Novel, Momonga mentions that Shalltear was based on a few female characters from H-games played by Peroroncino.

Chronology
The Undead King Arc
Main article: The Undead King Arc
When Momonga calls for every Floor Guardian except Victim and Gargantua to meet on the 6th Floor, Shalltear was the first one to enter by use of the spell, Gate. She expresses a bold desire for Momonga and hugged her master as a form of greeting to him, but is immediately rebuffed by Aura, who teases her about her figure and use of breast pads. After everybody arrived on time, she pays her due respects alongside the rest of them by getting on their knees and bowing down to the Overlord.[1]

Once Momonga teleported from the Amphitheater, Shalltear is the last person to rise from her feet, as she still felt excited and awed by the aura he was emitting all this time during the meeting. Not letting this comment from Shalltear go unnoticed, Albedo gets into a catfight with the said vampire intimidatingly, which eventually turns into an argument over who will become Momonga's wife in the end.[2]

Main article: The Emissary of the King Arc
Shalltear received a visit from a Death Knight sent by Ainz Ooal Gown at her residence. The vampire hastily has her Vampire Brides dress her readily in order to be presentable. Greeting the undead with the utmost respect, she shows and guides it into her home. Shalltear talks with the undead who asks her questions relayed by her master. The first inquiry being was whether or not she is feeling alright to which the vampire responded, stating that as an undead, she is immune to most status effects and hence, she should be in good health. Afterward, Shalltear told the Death Knight that she knows of there being special effects that can affect the condition of the undead, inquiring it if such effects have finally appeared at last, but the latter says no. She assumes Ainz asked that kind of question was so to keep the Floor Guardians like them on their toes and be vigilant at all times.

Curious, she has also asked the Death Knight the reason why it came to her first instead of the other Floor Guardians beforehand, telling the being if it was because she is a long-distance away from where Ainz is at. Upon hearing the Death Knight repeat his answer twice that Ainz sees her as an important person to him, she went deaf for a moment and laughs hysterically, wishing Albedo was around to hear this. Once Shalltear inquires the Death Knight if her master had made any mentions about Albedo, its response resulted in her becoming extremely happy as she learns that her master did not. Later, as the Death Knight questions Shalltear about anything that's been bothering her lately, she informs it that there was nothing personal troubling her. When the Death Knight offers the final question to her about what she wishes from the Overlord, she wants to be Ainz's, first love.[3]

Main article: The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
While Ainz was masquerading as an adventurer, Shalltear is given the task of accompanying Sebas and Solution and enslaving any criminals, who knew Martial Arts or magic. She converses with Sebas on their journey, recalling the times when their creators made their rounds on her floors and expressing great interest in the mystery of the 8th Floor. When the conversation turns toward her mission, Sebas's remark that Demiurge or Aura would have been a better candidate immediately causes Shalltear to enter a fit of rage. She threatens him with the prospect of a death battle, but slowly cools down when he apologizes. She holds reservations about the possibility of losing control from her Blood Frenzy, but still resolves to complete her mission without fail.

At this point, the carriage suddenly stops and they were surrounded by a group of bandits. However, the men prove to be no challenge whatsoever, as Shalltear and her Vampire Brides waste no time in slaughtering them. She makes their leader into a lesser vampire and splits off from the group of two now being Sebas and Solution. While entering the nearby forest where potentially more people could be, she and her vampire brides eventually come across a hideout and proceed to engage in a frontal assault.[5]

Trying to fill up her Blood Pool without much success, Shalltear soon comes across Brain Unglaus, who confidently meets with them alone. Feeling playful, she decides to toy with the mercenary, allowing him the chance to attack her without fear of retaliation. Brain breaks down after seeing all of his attacks be effortlessly deflected and runs away while Shalltear leisurely gives chase, following him to the mercenary's main hideout. Seeing the huge number of prey in front of her, she begins to lose control of herself as Blood Frenzy begins activating. She transforms into her true form and annihilates the entire base, leaving no one alive.

After annihilating them, Shalltear realized that Brain has escaped through a tunnel exit. Her vampire brides inform Shalltear that there is an unknown group approaching them. Shalltear confronted the group and slaughters them, but left only one alive. Shalltear was slightly damaged by the potion that was thrown at her by a woman and asked her name, to question her about the potion. After being questioned about the team she was part of, Shalltear summoned the vampire wolf to hunt down any human in the forest. However, one of her familiars was killed and she quickly moves to the location where it was supposedly slain at. Shalltear arrives and encounters a new group that she quickly notices are much stronger than the previous one. She decided to capture them but realizing her mistake, she was soon hit by a powerful spell that thwarted her attack for just a moment. Unable to stop it, she retaliated back with a powerful attack of her own that hit two of its members before everything goes dark.[6]

Upon confronting her and attempting to use Wish Upon A Star to free her from the state of mind-control, Ainz realizes that Shalltear was actually under a World Item's influence as his super-tier spell wasn't enough to stop it. As a result, Ainz retreated temporarily in order to make preparations for his fight against Shalltear. With enough preparations like buffing himself up beforehand, Ainz began his attack first through a super-tier spell which is called Fallen Down. Throughout the death battle between the two, she realizes that Ainz has no more mana points left, but is irritated at his calm behavior when he's on the verge of dying by her hands. However, the tables were turned by Ainz with his guild member's equipment. including her creator's weapon. At last, she was finally killed by Ainz's super-tier spell, Fallen Down.[7] Shalltear was later revived by Ainz in the throne room using 500,000,000 YGGDRASIL gold and she was no longer under the mind control of their enemy's World Item. After her revival, she doesn't remember what happened and continued her duties to Nazarick.[8]

During a meeting with the Floor Guardians, a productive conversation of fringe benefits dissolves into a fierce war of words between Shalltear and Albedo over their love for Ainz, prompting their master to dismiss the meeting. Shalltear was wandering around the 10th Floor moaning about how she was scolded by Ainz. At the same time, she noticed someone in the Great Library of Ashurbanipal. She spied Albedo suspiciously going through several books, before gleefully selecting one, overhearing how it will bring her closer to Ainz. Shalltear began to do a thorough investigation and learned from one of the Homunculus Maids that Albedo was trying to put together a play production. One play, in particular, Romeo and Juliet. However, she found out that Albedo designated herself as Juliet and Ainz as Romeo in a plot to steal a kiss from him in the final scene. She brought this knowledge to Ainz's attention and demanded that a fair selection be made amongst the Floor Guardians. Demiurge who was also informed by Shalltear also agreed to her proposal.

Three days before the auditions, she caught Albedo manipulating Ainz to allow her to kiss him to 'help' her in her acting skills. Furious by Albedo's attempt to steal a kiss from Ainz, Shalltear launched a Purifying Javelin at the Overseer Guardian. The two women began to bicker, infuriating the Overlord at their immaturity, causing him to leave thereafter. Despite earning Ainz's scorn yet again, Shalltear was confident that she would win. Two days later, it is revealed that Shalltear had approached Aura to vote for her, in exchange for Kal Kan. Later on, she approached Cocytus and tried to win his vote by offering him the role of Tybalt, but was furiously rebuked.

On the day of the audition, Shalltear was first to perform. Using a pillow in the likeness of Ainz, she notices something was smeared on the lips of the duplicate. Suspecting it to be poison put there by Albedo, Shalltear continued her performance, confidant her racial immunity would leave her immune. When the performances were done, the votes were in and its result happens to be 1:1, making the competition a draw. It's revealed that Demiurge subtly manipulated the voting process to ensure that neither would win as it would damage the two's relationship in the future.

Quotes
(To Momonga): "Ah, my master, my beloved master, the only one whom I cannot rule over..."
(To Ainz): "An incarnation of beauty. You are the most beautiful person in the world. Even jewels pale in comparison to your snow-white body."
(To the Floor Guardians about Momonga): "Ah, after being exposed to Momonga-sama's awesome presence, I could not help but get excited...I fear my underwear has gone through a bit of a crisis..."
(To Albedo): "What? Having Momonga-sama, the most beautiful of the Supreme Beings, bless us with his energy is a reward! Anyone who doesn't get wet from that must have something wrong in their head! Or could it be that you don't just look pure, but you don't have any fleshly desires at all, you big-mouthed gorilla?!"
(To Albedo): "Don't think you've won just because you're the Guardian Overseer and can stay next to Momonga-sama. If you really think that way, I'll laugh my ass off."
(To Ainz's Death Knight): "I want Ainz-sama's love. I don't mean to say it only has to be me. After all, it's normal for a great man to claim many women for himself. It would be surprising if any woman could resist an absolutely amazing man like Ainz-sama. However, I want to be the first in his heart."
(To Brain): "It can't be helped if you don't know how high the stars are, right? Childish thoughts like being able to touch the stars by reaching out for them are best left for a girl with childish sentiments like Aura. They're disgusting when you hear them coming from an adult."
(To Brain): "...Could it be that you're not actually that strong? I thought you were stronger than those chaps at the entrance...Sorry about that, I measure strength in meters, so I can't discern differences of a millimeter or two."
(To Brain): "Trained hard? What a pointless statement. I was created strong, so there was no need to train hard in order to become stronger."
(To Brain): "Are we playing tag then? You're going to play all sorts of games with me? Then I shall enjoy myself, ahahahaha~"
(Dying in combat against Ainz): "Ahhhh, Long live Ainz Ooal Gown–sama. You are supreme, truly the strongest existence in all of Nazarick."
(To Ainz): "Ah! Ainz-sama! About that matter, please give me my punishment! Even though I am a Guardian, I still carried out such a grave sin so stupidly. Please give me the most severe punishment!"
(To Ainz): "Ainz-sama, I also support Albedo's opinion. Please serve a punishment upon me. This will also allow me to achieve joy out of loyalty."
(To Ainz while receiving her punishment from him): "It's not painful at all! This is like a reward!"
(To Ainz): "Yes!!! I am fully prepared to protect you, Ainz-sama!!!! I shall exterminate anyone who dares to oppose you, Ainz-sama!!!!!"
(To Aura): "It's been so long...but at last, I can make up for my past failure and let everyone know that Shalltear Bloodfallen can be of use to everyone!"
(To Aura): "But when I was in the human city, Demiurge singled me out. He must have felt I was useless. If that was what Demiurge — the greatest mind of Nazarick — thought about me, then wouldn't the others, especially Ainz-sama — whose wisdom surpasses that of Demiurge — feel the same way?"
(To Ainz): "Your words have cleansed my heart of the shame of my previous mistake, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
