Ronye Arabel

Ronye Arabel (ロニエ・アラベル) is Kirito's valet, who learned swordsmanship under him, in the Sword Mastery Academy in Underworld.

Background
Ronye is the daughter of a 6th class Noble Family. Like Tiese, she entered Sword Mastery Academy trying to raise her family status.

Ronye was one of the top twelve of her year, thus she became a valet. But unbeknownst to her, Kirito did not choose her. Instead, she was left along with Tiese after all other elite swordsmen selected their valets, as none of the noble elite swordsmen wanted to take them as their valets due to them belonging to the lowest Noble Class.

Alicization Running
Ronye was introduced as Kirito's valet, who just finished cleaning his room and was waiting for him to return, so she could return to her room. Eugeo offered her to talk to the teachers to change her elite-swordsman, as he did not see Kirito as a good example, but she declined. Kirito then entered the room through the window and gave Tiese and her a bag with honey pies and dismissed them, telling them to share it with their roommates.

Alicization Turning
Ronye went to a picnic with Kirito, Eugeo and Tiese near the Academy, where, while eating, they informed Kirito and Eugeo about the problem their fellow valet Frenica Szeski was facing because of her mentor Humbert Zizek venting his anger on her.

Since Humbert did not stop mistreating his valet after Eugeo and Kirito's talk with him, she, along with Tiese, visited Raios Antinous and Humbert's room and asked them to stop bullying Frenica. Playing dumb, the nobles made the two girls fall into their trap by having the girls lose their composure and disrespect the upper class nobles, allowing them to apply their authority to punish nobles from lower classes and the punishment they decided to enforce was to rape the girls.

Eugeo and Kirito saved them, but broke the Taboo Index in the process. The next day she brought Kirito his sword and a bento before Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty took them to the Central Cathedral.

Alicization Invading
Having heard that Alice Synthesis Thirty had come to the Human Defence Army's camp with a black-haired young man, Ronye, along with Tiese, visited Alice to confirm their suspicion that the man was Kirito. When Alice informed the two of Eugeo's death and Kirito's state, the two girls broke down into tears. Alice comforted them and assigned the girls to care for Kirito while she left to participate in the war.
