The word 'vermeil' refers to a high-quality silver that is covered with a thin layer of gold. Is this somewhat related to the meaning behind Vermeil in Gold’s title? Or does it correlate to why the familiar of Alto in Vermeil in Gold is called Vermeil?
Vermeil in Gold is a fantasy anime that centers on Alto and his newfound familiar, Vermeil. Alto unleased Vermeil after she has been locked up in a magical book as he needed a familiar to pass his subjects.
In order to do her job, Vermeil requires mana from him that she can acquire through kissing.
Who is Vermeil in Vermeil in Gold?
Vermeil is the female protagonist of Vermeil in Gold. She is a demon who has shoulder-length violet hair. As a demon, she has horns, pointy ears, and a tail. Her most obvious feature is her huge breasts that she somewhat hides under her one-piece dress.
What makes Vermeil an interesting character is that she is easy-going and straightforward. She does not know anything about modesty or even personal space and would always be on a lewd streak whenever she is with Alto.
She is extremely flirtatious and of course, lustful to her summoner as she has become somewhat addicted to his golden mana. But when it comes to battles and protecting Alto, Vermeil gives her all and makes sure that Alto is well and safe.
