Once upon a time he was attacked by hordes of demons, who were defeated with the help of a special detachment of knights called "The Seven Deadly Sins", they became the backbone of defense and the key to the prosperity of the state.

Elizabeth is the first character a reader or viewer meets. She is the third daughter of the old King of Lyoness, as it later turned out, the reception. In the description of the anime "7 Deadly Sins," one can often find a footnote that Liz was looking for Meliodas in order to stop the holy knights, but later it is easy to note how deep her mutual affection for the captain of the seven. When first meeting her as a person, it later becomes clear that Elizabeth is a goddess imprisoned in mortal flesh, constantly forced to experience new life in which she meets Meliodas. In some, Liz dies, in others - not. TV adaptation is just one of the scenarios that the goddess has already experienced.
Character and appearance
Elizabeth is a very quiet, kind and naive girl. They are forced to endure an encroachment on their honor by the captain and simply cannot answer that as rudely as possible. However, this character is also part of the punishment. The biography of the characters in the anime "7 Deadly Sins" is extremely confusing.

In its new form, it got horns and a dragon look. For an unknown reason, it is immortal.
Meliodas
Dragon's Deadly Sin - Anger. The captain of the Knights of the “7 Deadly Sins”, apparently, is a schizophrenic with a split personality, a brave and good-natured guy. However, having lost himself, it may well destroy the town in the heat of battle. It looks like a teenager 15-17 years old, although in fact it is a demon whose age is more than 3 thousand years. His relic is the Lostwein sword, which Meliodas first broke, and then sold for the tavern. The key ability is full reflection, thanks to which he can repair the damage done to his body.

He does not tolerate attacks on his freedom, has an inquiring mind. Tall athletic blond with red eyes. There is a non-healing scar on the body; it prefers open clothes.

So, King is a fairy and was familiar with Meliodas and Diana long before the events of the series, loves the giantess, but erased her memory at her request.
Gauter
Goat Sin - Lust. It is a doll, 3000 years ago a real knight created a puppet for himself, in which he instilled part of his strength. So Gauter appeared. In the photo of the characters of the anime, "7 Deadly Sins" is always on the sidelines, because he does not rank himself as an old cast. Does not show emotions, poorly versed in moral issues, but tries to support the rest of the seven. His relics are Herritt's Double Bow and the Eye of Balor Strength. Looks like a effeminate teenager with raspberry hair and amber eyes, was in love with Nadia Lioness.

From puny and shy, he turns into a real warrior, a muscular “god” who plunges all the power of the sun onto his enemies. Like Ban is a man, he is 40. The relic is Ritt's huge ax, which the knight possesses perfectly.

Hendriksen
The main antagonist among the characters of the anime "7 deadly sins." He led the coup and personally imprisoned the royal family in prison. Blond with green eyes. He took the blood of the Red and Gray demons and regaled it to the chosen holy knights. He sacredly believed that he could lead the Demon clan, but he was bitterly mistaken.
