Arte

"Praise and worship our great Conchita."

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

Epitome of Gluttony
Arte served Banica Conchita and, along Pollo, was given the responsibility of managing the warlord's territories in her place. She continued to fulfill Conchita's desires even as her tastes descended into cannibalism. Following her will, Arte delivered Banica the grotesque remains of Joseph as his punishment for asking if he could have a vacation, turning him into another one of her meals. Around June EC 325, the maid was devoured by Conchita due to her gluttonous hunger.

Legacy
In July of EC 325, the Beelzenian Empire, investigating the rumors surrounding Banica Conchita after Crim's disappearance, 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 investigation 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
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
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.

Appearance
Arte is pale with short, blond hair held in place by black hair clips and blue eyes. She wears a black bow with a matching black dress over a white underdress and black dress shoes. At her neck she wears a yellow ascot tied in a similar way to her bow.

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.

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.

Servants: An incarnation of Arte. The female Servants' 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 Brothers Grimm's tale "Hänsel & 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.
