Azril is a key character from No Game No Life, known as the self-proclaimed "older sister" of Jibril and the very first Flügel ever created. She is over 26,000 years old and is recognized for her unique way of ending her sentences with “nya.” After the death of her creator Artosh, Azril spent thousands of years searching for the meaning of her existence and the reasons for his defeat. She stopped the other Flügel from ending their lives by pretending Artosh’s parting words were an order for all of them. Azril is powerful, wise, but sometimes acts silly, and her gentle side mostly shows around Jibril, whom she loves dearly. In the series, her encounters with Sora and fellow Flügel deeply change her views about humans, history, and herself.
