%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]



A mysterious girl who is a part of the newly-reborn Nightmare's inner circle, being an attendant of the Taoist sorcerer Won Gabok. She is fond of manipulation and trickery, and has a connection with Astral Chaos, as she is able to transport whoever she wishes there. She claims to be acquainted with Siegfried, yet Siegfried himself seems to have little to no recollection of her. The way she carries herself seems as if she knows more than she lets on. Specifically, things that may not have happened yet, or have already happened, almost as if she is not of this world... or rather, this version of it...
