Appearance
Ram has medium-length light-pink hair that covers her left eye, large dark-red eyes with a slight slant, and a flower-shaped ribbon and hair clips on the right side of her head. She looks almost identical to her twin Rem, whose hair covers the opposite eye. She usually wears the mansion's maid uniform with a floral hairband, and a white hooded robe when she travels alone.
Personality
Blunt and sarcastic: she rarely holds back an opinion and teases Subaru without mercy.
Proud and self-assured: she works at her own pace and is confident in her own judgment.
Devoted to Rem: her younger sister is one of the very few people she truly treasures.
Loyal to Roswaal: she serves him with complete dedication and has fallen in love with him.
Clear-headed: she stays calm under pressure and is quick to read a situation.
Background
Ram was born into the Oni Tribe with a single horn and showed such talent and strength that the village called her the reincarnation of the Oni God. Most of the village's celebration days were held for her birth. When the Witch Cult attacked the village, she lost her horn, and she and Rem were saved by Roswaal L Mathers. In return, Ram swore to help Roswaal in his own goals, including his aim to kill the Divine Dragon.
Spoiler warning: the rest of this section covers Arc 2 and later.
In Arc 2 Ram kills Subaru in one loop. According to the author, she did it alone so that Rem would not have to dirty her own hands. At the end of Arc 3, the Archbishop of Gluttony eats Rem's name and memories, and Ram forgets her own sister along with everyone else. Over time she falls in love with Roswaal, while secretly planning to break his obsessive desires and free him from them. In Arc 6 she joins the journey to the Pleiades Watchtower, and the arc has a chapter named after her.
Abilities
Wind magic: her main element, which she uses through a wand.
Clairvoyance: she can see through the eyes of other living things nearby, which makes her an excellent scout.
Oni strength: with her horn, the author once ranked her the second strongest character in the series. Without it, she relies on Roswaal's mana to keep her body stable.
Tracking and scouting: she is skilled at finding people and threats from a distance.
Relationships
Rem: her younger twin and the person she cherishes most. She forgets Rem after the attack by Gluttony.
Roswaal L Mathers: her master and savior, and the man she loves.
Natsuki Subaru: she calls him "Barusu" and teases him constantly, but comes to rely on him. He taught her hiragana.
Emilia: the royal candidate whose camp Ram serves.
Beatrice: a fellow resident of the mansion.
Garfiel Tinsel: a young fighter from the Sanctuary who has feelings for her.
Frederica Baumann: the mansion's other maid.
