History Characters / CasshernSins

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In one spot, her name was also spelled "Nico"

A brain damaged robot girl found in the Valley of Ruin. She also watched over Luna.

* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: That's 'cause of brain damage. She's really unaware of the how messed up the world is around her and so doesn't really seem to mind. On top of all of this, she's nice to everyone and even tries to tend to people's wounds but she ain't too good at that.

* NoodleIncident: How she wound up with brain damage exactly. It's not real, real clear if it's directly tied to the Ruin itself or if her brain damage is separate from it. We also don't know how the ended up in the Valley of Ruin.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He wasn't the nicest to Niko but we know he did care about her enough to avenge her death. His lashings out at Niko was more because he frustrated than anything else.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: PlayedForDrama. Casshern killed Luna and this brought the ruin for the world. Since everyone knows what happened, everyone hates him and wants to kill and/eat him. [[spoiler: Ringo is the only exception.]]

%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Episode 19.

* ActionSurvivor: She’s only a child, but can still get out of situations fine.

!Luna
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luna2_4737.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/AkikoYajima (Japanese), Creator/TrinaNishimura (English)
A mysterious girl who was summoned by the human race for "salvation" and someone Casshern was sent to assassinate. Casshern's assassination attempt is what sets off the Cataclysm.

!!Tropes associated with Luna:
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original series, she's unambiguously good. Here on the other hand, she's one of the antagonists.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Grew a full-blown complex when she returned to power. She was worshiped before she died the first time, but she didn't revel in it nearly as much as she does now.]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: She's a minor example of one because of philosophical differences between Casshern and his group. She's willing to give them her blood so they can live forever, but they decide they don't want to risk changing into one of her listless immortals.]]
* BadBoss: [[spoiler: She didn't stay with her longtime bodyguard as he lay dying because she considered his condition "disgusting". Poor Dune...However, note that he refused to drink her blood and save his life.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Post-resurrection Luna turns out to be this, having a disdain for everything affected by the Ruin, and death in general; she refuses to stay with her loyal bodyguard as he's dying, calling him disgusting.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Even though she's immortal and can't ''permanently'' die, she felt everything and was traumatized by Casshern killing her. Now she finds victims of the Ruin 'disgusting,' wants to abolish death itself, and even appears to be in love with Casshern. Then again... [[ChickMagnet who isn't at this point]]?]]
* DissonantSerenity: Her default expression is a look of quiet peace in the devastation brought by the Ruin.
* EtherealWhiteDress: She is always dressed in immaculate white in this world of dust and grime, and is a not-quite-human [[spoiler: returned from a traumatic death]].
* HighCollarOfDoom: Similar to Casshern, Leda, and Dio, only she's much less violent. [[spoiler:Played straight later on.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Casshern killed her. [[spoiler:She gets better... [[CameBackWrong physically, anyway]].]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: [[spoiler:Played with. She's a little too infatuated with Casshern, who brutally murdered her, but not because of the carnage itself.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:One of the few characters who survives the series until the very end. Justified due to her immortality, and probably because her dying a ''second'' time would lead to an even worse calamity than what her first death caused.]] In truth, this is a subversion since [[spoiler: Casshern tells Luna that if she and her people forget death, he will come back, and definitely bringing death again. Luna won't be the same again]].
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Does this to Dune, her bodyguard, by not staying with him as he died. This single action concisely demonstrates her post-resurrection meanness.]]
* KillerRabbit: [[spoiler:Not only did she regularly kill immortals in the past (even if she hated it and doing so eventually drove her crazy with guilt), she's the one who impales Leda after inflicting BodyHorror on her.]]
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: [[spoiler:She literally wants to abolish death because she's disgusted by it. This is in stark contrast to what she did pre-series, which was to remove immortality, which made her feel like a murderer. In the final episode Casshern deconstructed this idea by pointing out that ''living'' is different from ''being alive,'' and the robots in her town were listless layabouts.]]
* MysteriousWaif: A young EmotionlessGirl with god-like powers whose origins are never really explained.
* NamesToTrustImmediately: "The Sun Named Moon," "Salvation." [[spoiler:The truth depends on who you ask; everyone except Casshern and his group believe it to be true.]]
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler: She makes this request of Casshern. They are one of the few instances in which her expression changes.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Since she died pre-series, everything we know about her comes from others or from flashbacks. [[spoiler: Then it turns out that she's NotQuiteDead.]]
* StellarName: Luna, thus "the Sun Named Moon".
* TookALevelInJerkass: After her [[spoiler: revival, she becomes nastier as a result of her death-trauma]].
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The fact that she's still alive in the main narrative is a big deal.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:''She'' proposes this to ''Casshern'' so they can rule all immortals as the metaphorical incarnations of life and death. After all that he's seen and been through, he naturally refuses.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Sure, she can fix the Ruin. She'll even throw in immortality. In exchange, she wants you to worship her as she slowly grows DrunkWithPower and similar to [[TheEmperor Braiking Boss]].]]
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Her tone and the look on her face during the aforementioned WeCanRuleTogether moment, not to mention when she makes a similar offer in the very beginning of Episode 21, screams this.]]
--> '''Luna''': "I want you to stay here with me ''forever'', [[spoiler: Casshern]]."
