Arte

"Praise and worship our great Conchita."

Arte is one of the loyal yet twisted servants of Banica Conchita. Like her twin brother, Pollo, she would be devoured by their master. She is one of Gretel's reincarnations.

Epitome of Gluttony
Traveling to the Beelzenian Empire far from home, Arte served Banica Conchita along with Pollo. Around July of EC 323 the two were planned to accompany their master on a journey. Soon after returning with her brother to their room, she spotted Ron Grapple cleaning their room and about to toss away the wine glass he found in the fireplace. Stopping him before he could leave, Arte demanding he not throw it away and the two claimed that it would be what would save Lord Banica from ruin. When Ron asked if they were the ones who brought the wine glass, they shook their heads and responded that they would simply follow Banica's decision, whether it was death or a contract.

Inching closer to him during their explanation, the two then said he would not disturb, and one grabbed the servant's neck and killed him. In November of the following year, Arte was given the responsibility of managing the noble's territories in Conchita's place, along with Pollo. At some point, she recognized the chef, Joseph, as being similar to the man who had "abandoned" her. Following her will, Arte and Pollo killed the chef and cooked him into another one of Banica's meals. Around June EC 325, the maid was asked by her master what she tasted like and was subsequently eaten by the curious and hungry Conchita.

Legacy
In July of EC 325, the Beelzenian Empire, investigating the rumors surrounding Banica Conchita, requested the help of Elluka Clockworker. The following month, the mansion was found empty and its owner and staff missing. Finding everything in perfect order, the Empire concluded Arte and the rest of the staff fled with Banica to a neighboring country. Her soul would continue to reincarnate until merging with the Glass of Conchita and later awakening as the female servant in Evil's Theater. While reviewing her films, Ma speculated that the Arte's loyalty to Conchita was due to her resemblance to Meta Salmhofer.

Personality and Traits
Arte is short-tempered and selfish, acting far more cruel than her twin Pollo. She is very loyal to Banica, willing to serve her in the Beelzenian Empire, far away from home. Along with her brother, she demands all to bow down and praise Conchita when in her presence. Anyone perceived as a traitor to Banica by the maid must be punished. As a reincarnation of Gretel, her fanatic loyalty to her master is due to her resemblance to Gretel's mother, Meta Salmhofer.

Skills and Abilities
Unlike her brother, Arte emphasizes quality over quantity when cooking meals for Conchita. She is also more capable than her twin when it comes to her tasks overall.

Character Connections
Banica Conchita: Arte's employer. She was fanatically loyal to Conchita, serving her far away from home in Beelzenia, and did not mind the increasingly gruesome meals Conchita had her serve. She wished for everyone else to respect Conchita as she did, seeing remnants of Meta in her appearance.

Pollo: A fellow servant of Conchita and her twin. Arte and Pollo were close, taking on their serving duties together as well as sharing the task of running Conchita's territories.

Joseph: A fellow servant of Conchita. Originally Arte saw Joseph as a work colleague, however after he asked to take a vacation she saw him as a traitor to Conchita, happy to aid in his death.

Ron Grapple: A chamberlain of the Conchita family. Arte disliked it when the man went into her and her brother's room. When he found the glass of Conchita in the fireplace, the twin had no qualms with murdering him so he wouldn't disturb their master's decision.

Gretel: Arte's first incarnation. Arte gets her loyalty to Conchita from Gretel's relationship with Meta Salmhofer; she sees in Conchita remnants of Meta.

Female Servant: An incarnation of Arte. The female servant's fanatic service to the Master of the Graveyard and appearance are reminiscent of Arte's relationship with Conchita.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Arte's name is derived from Artemis, one of the twin gods of Greek mythology; she is often associated with Selene and the moon as well as wild animals, the wilderness, the hunt, childbirth, and virginity.
 * Her original incarnation ties her to the Grimm's tale "Hänsel &amp; Gretel".
 * In the original story, Gretel is depicted as a gluttonous child, strengthening the Arte's link with the Demon of Gluttony and her master, Conchita.
 * Her credited name in the Evil Food Eater Conchita PV, the Wicked Maid, refers to her more maniacal nature due to being a reincarnation of Gretel.

Curiosities

 * Ney Futapie was able to wield the Glass of Conchita due to being a reincarnation of Arte.
 * Her latest reincarnation, the female servant to the Master of the Graveyard, shares a similar relationship to her and Banica.
