MAIN

When Hajime Kanzaka was in high school, he created a story where Lina was a 10-year-old clone of her now-older sister, Luna Inverse. In this story, Lina was obsessed with machinery. When Kanzaka began writing Slayers, he made Lina five years older and obsessed with magic instead of machines. Rui Araizumi claims that Lina's design was based on a young Audrey Hepburn.

MAIN

He is handsome and well-built, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Even though the characters in Slayers do age with time, Hajime Kanzaka has stated that he sees Gourry as "forever 22." It might be reasonable to predict that this is his age at the beginning of the series, and he ages at the same pace as Lina and the other characters as the series progresses. He is 182 cm (just under 6 feet) tall, which makes him the tallest of the main cast.

ゼロス

SUPPORTING

Xelloss was created by Zelas during the Kōma War, which ended approximately 1013 years before Slayers TRY. Unlike other subordinates of mazoku lords, Xelloss is the sole immediate servant of Zelas Metallium and, thus, a great deal of her power went into his creation. Because of this, Xelloss is the most powerful of all the priests and generals of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu's subordinates.
