Rias is a very kind and compassionate optimist, especially to her servants and people close to her. She gets angry and violent whenever people insult her or her peerage, showing a fiery side to her.
She is proud of her family's name, but she does not like being seen as Rias of the Gremory Family. The reason for her living in the human world (as revealed in Volume 2 of the novels) is because there, everyone sees her as Rias, not as a Devil or as the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess. Due to this and the fact that the only men who showed interest in her were interested in her due to being the Heiress of the House of Gremory, Rias soured on the idea of finding a lover, until meeting and falling in love with Issei. According to Akeno, Rias originally said that all men looked the same to her as Rias said that Issei is the only exception due to her thinking of him as cute.
She thinks of Issei as a special person and always gets jealous when girls are around him, becoming a totally different person when she sees him and other girls together, or when it comes to training. Despite her mature stature like a woman, Rias tends to act her true age and becomes frustrated whenever girls flirt with Issei. While Rias is usually calm and mature in most situations, she loses her mature aura and presence when she sees any girl (especially Akeno) flirting with or seducing Issei.
She enjoys teasing Issei and Asia (from Volume 3 of the novels onward), but at the same time makes it clear (to Asia or any girl) that Issei is hers, and she does not want to share him at all (It is revealed in Volume 3 of the novels that the Gremory Family and their servants are beings with extraordinary affection among the Devils, so Rias is no exception). She has no problem with showing Issei her breasts or sleeping naked with him (which she always does according to her and she claims she can't sleep without being nude or without Issei). Despite being seductive like Akeno, both of the girls are still innocent to love, as both of them become their age whenever around Issei or on a date with him.
After becoming Issei's girlfriend, Rias begins to show more confidence in her relationship with Issei and is no longer jealous or angry when Issei is with other girls like she previously was, even accepting Issei's dream of having a harem and letting the girls have dates with him. However, Rias still shows some signs of jealousy such as when Issei doesn't spend enough time with her, but still believes in him and loves him. Due to being Issei's official girlfriend and later fiancée, the other girls acknowledge her as the "Legal Wife" as she manages the other women who are in love with Issei. According to Ravel, the burden of Rias as the "Legal Wife" is greater than the burden of Issei as she has to manage the girls maidenly feelings toward Issei and balance out Issei's feelings toward each of his lovers/brides. Like Akeno, Rias shows a sign of dependence toward Issei (possibly lesser than the former) as Rias will lose her will to fight and lead. She developed an instinct when Issei is with an unknown woman or other girls tried to seduce him before her she immediately rush to him quickly.
She holds her older brother, Sirzechs, in high regard (despite her older brother's antics of being a siscon) because she deeply cares for him. When she was a child, she was entirely dependent on him and held him in admiration, while also feeling inferior to him at the same time.
Rias loves participating in Rating Games, as she dreams of becoming the Rating Game champion by defeating the current Rating Game champion; Diehauser Belial, with the help of her peerage. While Rias is a powerful devil in her own right, being much stronger than average High-class Devils and according to Azazel, being able to become a Ultimate-class Devil just on the virtue on her talent alone, Rias suffers a bit of an inferiority complex when she compares herself to her fellow Rookies Four colleagues, as she feels inferior to Sona as a strategist and that she is far weaker in power than Sairaorg. However, according to Riser and Azazel, Rias has a talent for finding and recruiting talented individuals for her peerage, inspiring great loyalty and growing stronger with them as seen in her meeting with Issei.
During the Azazel Cup, she was highly evaluated as a scout as she managed to recruit Crom Cruach and Vasco Strada along with 2 Longinus possessors, being praised by the professional critics. She is noted to be a skilled negotiator, as she was able to convince Rossweisse to join her peerage by offering her better working conditions and a better salary compared to her previous job in Valhalla, and while during the Azazel Cup, she was able to convince Vasco Strada to join her team after he declined all prior invitations to participate in the Cup by appealing to his warrior swordsman spirit and offering to restore his youth without using a Devils ability, thus not violating his faith with Strada praising her negotiating skill as a sweet Devil's whisper.
Rias is competitive and hates to lose, especially after losing her first Rating Game against Riser as she strives to always win, whether it is in sports or Rating Games.
Due to being spoiled by her father Zeoticus and her brother Sirzechs from an early age, she has a somewhat impatient and selfish personality and because of her bad money spending habit, her mother Venelana and her sister-in-law Grayfia often scold her for her frivolous spending, as her mother reconsidered the amount of money she is allowed as allowance.
Early in her childhood, she developed an instinctive fear and hatred of camels due to being hit by a camel after making fun of it, as the fear is great enough that the residents of the Gremory territory constantly keep camels away from her despite the Gremory's association with camels in the Ars Goetia.
Due to being taught about Japan from Souji Okita, Rias has developed an obsession with Japan, buying various Japanese souvenirs and being ecstatic while visiting Kyoto during her school field trip, though she became pouty and stomped at the train station due to being unable to fully explore Kyoto.
Powers & Abilities
Like Sirzechs, Rias inherited exceptional demonic power from her parents and is adept in using it, even for a High-Class Devil. After Issei transferred power to her, her demonic power increased to where it rivaled an Ultimate-Class Devil, shaking the ground, and reaching Satan-Class. Azazel noted that even without training, Rias has the potential to become one of the highest class devils using natural talent. She was capable of overpowering Ultimate-Class Devils wounded by Crom Cruach, while in her Balor Princess Form, could keep up with Fenrir at 80% percent power.
- Power of Destruction: A unique demonic power, which allows her to erase and disintegrate matter, living and inanimate things, often releasing massive blasts able to erase massive targets. Rias has improved her Power of Destruction to the point of being able to compress it into multiple bullets, lessening their attack range, but Kiba noted those without enough power would vanish from one of them.
- Extinguished Star: Also known as the Demonic Star of Extinction, Rias' Ultimate One-Hit Kill technique made due to the influence of Issei's power. She focuses her Power of Destruction into a compression of demonic power, taking form as an enormous sphere with a crimson and black aura radiating from it. Though it moves toward targets at slow speed, it has a strong magnetic force that pulls them toward it, and disintegrates things like a black hole. Its destructive power has been said to surpass the Rating Game's retiring system.

Rias has shown great tolerance to damage and pain, she was going continuing to fight Regulus and remain in the Rating Game despite the intense blood loss.
Rias is a very intelligent and knowledgeable woman, due to being naturally gifted as well as her aristocratic education as the heiress of the Gremory Clan since childhood. When running the Occult Research Club, she is shown to be knowledgeable on occult topics such as supernatural beings like Youkais, Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels.
- Expert Tactician: Though outsmarted several times throughout the series, Rias has proven herself to be an excellent tactician and has saved her team along with others many times due to her profound intellect and her ability to handle unexpected difficulties calmly.
As a High-Class Devil, more so the Gremory Heiress, Rias learned a wide range of different skills. In the Human World, she learned things no other pure-blood would, ranging from housework and gardening, both of which became hobbies.
- Master Chef: Rias is a great chef with a wide range of cooking skills and can cook food of the finest quality.

Equipment
also known as Crimson Dragon Princess of Annihilation is a combination technique between Rias and Issei, where he uses his Red Wyverns and they sync both of their auras and the Wyverns attach themselves to Rias to create her own female version of Issei’s Scale Mail. The armor acts just like Issei's, boosting Rias' abilities and giving her the ability to utilize Boost, Transfer, and Penetrate until she reaches her limit.
Also known as Beast Ruin Princess of the Forbidden Night and True Darkness. A combination technique between Rias and Gasper, where he melts into his shadow and fuses with hers covering her in darkness. This resulted in a form of Rias, which appears as a dark beast in the shape of a human enveloped in a deep red aura of destruction and also a third eye with a deep red pupil and gain ten wings. This was inspired from Sairaorg's Balance Breaker supplemented by her Crimson Extinct Dragonar. Rias is able to use her third eye to freeze opponents in time and travel through shadows; her own Power of Destruction is also greatly enhanced with the infusion of power of darkness, as well as stop her own attacks and control them such as changing their trajectory. This form, while still incomplete, exceeds Satan-class power, and is able to casually destroy an area with a radius of a few hundred meters filled with skyscrapers.
A crimson sword able to be used by a devil, which Rias had received from Heaven as a blessing after her engagement to Issei. She plans to pass it on to their future children.
