!! Phantom
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaEndo (Japanese, ''VisualNovel/DateALiveRinneUtopia''), Creator/KanaHanazawa (Japanese, disguised as Rinne Sonogami in season 3), Creator/EmilyNeves (English, disguised as Rinne Sonogami in season 3)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_1645.png]]

The mysterious entity who works behind the scenes, its very existence is only known to the Ratatoskr members (and possibly Westcott).

It was the one who gave Kotori her Sephira Crystal, tranforming her into a Spirit 5 years ago, causing the Great Fire in the process. In present time, she was also the person who informed Kurumi about Shido's existence and strange powers.

Its true appearance and motives are unknown, but it displays great knowledge about the Spirits, and even Shido himself. As the novels go on, it's revealed that Phantom gave Miku a Sephira Crystal two years prior, hinting at the possibility of her carrying more Crystals at her disposal.

* AmbiguousGender: Its appearance is completely shrouded in mosaic and even its voice is too garbled to determine its gender. When Origami goes back in time to kill it, she notices that at one point its voice not only sounds female, but it's one that she's heard before.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: While fighting the Spirit-turned Origami five years ago in volume 10, Phantom remains calm and correctly guesses that Kurumi helped Origami TimeTravel from the future with her Twelfth Bullet since Phantom has yet to give away Metatron at that point in time. Similarly, in the very next volume, Phantom is able to guess that Shido came from five or six years in the future with Kurumi's help, just by looking at his appearance.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: In volume 11, Phantom shows that it can impersonate other people for the sake of direct interaction. In that volume, Phantom appears to Shido as Rinne (the OriginalGeneration character from ''VisualNovel/DateALiveRinneUtopia'').
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Phantom evaluates a person based on their potential as Spirits, as it outright states to the now Spirit Origami that it would never pass up an opportunity to find such a powerful vessel for the Sephira Crystal. And yet, when Shido is about to be killed by the Dainsleif Satellite Cannon, Phantom intervenes and stops it, before giving the other Spirits a chance to save him by weakening his power. Also, as she is revealed to be [[spoiler:Reine Murasame, she has helped Ratatoskr, Shido and the Spirits on multiple occasions]], implying her morality is at least on the whiter side of the spectrum.
* CodeName: "Phantom" is the code name that Ratatoskr has given it. She doesn't like it.
* CrypticConversation: When Shido is knocked unconscious after his first encounter with Tohka, he gets transferred aboard the Fraxinus, but not before hearing a garbled voice from the entity. Its words before leaving in Volume 11 are so similar that Shido realizes it was the one who spoke to him that day.
--> '''Phantom:''' Finally, we meet again. I'm so glad, but just wait. Just a little while longer. I won't ever let you go again. I won't ever be wrong again. Soon.
* ForScience: Implied to be its reason for creating Rinne and Mayuri. This is not so obvious in the former's case, but its unusual behavior as [[spoiler:Reine]] when observing the latter suggests that she actually created them for experiment, studying the phenomenons of the two Spirits' birth.
* TheHeavy: While its intentions are (probably) nowhere as malicious as Westcott's, Phantom is still indirectly responsible for every single major event in all arcs, mostly through the use of Sephira Crystals.
* LiteralGenie: Phantom has appeared before a human to grant them Spirit powers at least twice before the story began, and each time was in response to their anguished wish, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor for better or worse]]: for Kotori, it was her desire to stop being a crybaby; in Miku's case, she came to hate humanity (especially men) and despaired over the loss of her voice. A third time happens when Origami wishes for greater power in order to defeat the Spirits, in volume 10. And ''then'', it's revealed that Phantom first did this to Nia (as the Second Spirit) and to Mukuro some time later. Nia speculates that Phantom probably did the same with all the other Spirits.
* MemoryWipingCrew: This is the same being who erased part of Shido and Kotori's memories during the Great Fire, explaining [[LaserGuidedAmnesia the holes in their memories]]. It may or may not also be responsible for the other Spirits' amnesia.
* MysteriousParent:
** When Phantom encounters all the Spirits in Volume 12 (minus Kurumi) after saving Shido, it calls them "my children." When you remember it turns regular humans into Spirits, this implies that all of them used to be human, which is confirmed in Volume 15 by Inverse Tohka.
** TheStinger of Rinne Utopia implies Phantom has a hand in Rinne's creation and birth, as it is the only one who doesn't forget her after the RetGone. While Rinne may have been an UnwittingPawn that may have [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness played her role]], it's also possible Phantom gave her a MercyKill or actually saved her from [[AndIMustScream floating endlessly in Eden's remains]], possibly explaining how Phantom used Rinne's form as a disguise in Volume 11 if the game is canon to the main story.
** As [[spoiler:Reine is revealed to be Phantom in Volume 16]], plus Reine's suspicious behavior and knowledge about Mayuri in the movie ''Mayuri Judgment'', this implies that she was also involved in Mayuri's birth.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Phantom is consistently described as an unknown noise that's nearly invisible. When commander Kannazuki shows Shido a recording of the incident with Kotori five years ago, Phantom was present and right next to Kotori, but only because Shido noticed a blurry image that didn't fit with the rest of the recording. In Volume 10, an attack from Origami temporarily dispels Phantom's noise, where Origami could faintly discern that she was a woman with a familiar voice. [[spoiler:Kurumi later manages to force her out of her noise entirely during their battle in Volume 16, exposing her true identity as Reine.]]
* RedBaron: Both Kurumi and the Ratatoskr calls it "the Spirit that can turn humans into Spirits" even though [[spoiler:up until volume 16]] it's unknown what Phantom actually ''is''.
* SamusIsAGirl: In volume 10, Origami's attacks strip away the noise concealing Phantom's appearance, allowing the former to hear the latter's voice, which apparently reminds Origami of someone familiar. Although she was blinded by her own light-based attack, Origami could faintly discern Phantom as a girl with long hair. [[spoiler:It's revealed in Volume 16 she's none other than Reine Murasame.]]
* SignificantDoubleCasting: In the three Date a Live Visual Novels ''Rinne Utopia'', ''Ars Install'', and ''Rio Reincarnation'', this being shares a voice with.....well just look at the person doing the voice work and you'll figure it out. Why is this significant? [[spoiler:Volume 16 of the light novel reveals that the First Spirit, Phantom, and Reine Murasame are all the same person.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: This mysterious entity's underlying actions are actually vital to the story, given the [[ExcusePlot basic premise]] of sealing the Spirits wouldn't actually be feasible without key characters getting powers in the first place. She also has some unknown connection with Shido, and also apparently did something to him she regrets that's become the reasoning for her current actions.

[[folder:Mio '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
!! Mio Takamiya
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaEndo (Japanese)
!!! '''Code name:''' "Deus"
!!! '''Angel:''' Ain Soph Aur ([[OneHitKill Flower]]), Ain Soph ([[RealityWarper Tree]]), Ain ([[CessationOfExistence Seed]])
!!! '''Astral Dress:''' Yah
[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mio_takamiya.png]]
A girl who seems to be connected to the Takamiyas, her name was mentioned by Shido when he's overcharged with Spirit powers in Volume 12, causing him to remember bits of his childhood with Mana. Shido claimed that Mio was supposed to be protecting Mana from DEM, but went missing at the same time Mana was abducted by them.

She is actually the Spirit of Origin who came into existence 30 years ago, setting off the catastrophic first Spacequake that wiped out a large chunk of Eurasia and 150 million lives. She was created by DEM's founders Westcott, Ellen and Woodman as a tool for their revenge against humanity, but the latter would fall in love with her on sight and defect from DEM to create Ratatoskr in service of Spirits. Mio met a boy named Shinji Takamiya and gradually fell in love with him, but he was fatally shot by Westcott for interfering with his attempts to retrieve her. Unable to save Shinji's life, Mio resorted to reincarnating him as Shido, endowing him with the ability to seal the powers of the Sephira crystals that she would proceed to create, ensuring an undying love this time. She sacrificed several girls to purify the crystals, earning the grudge of Kurumi Tokisaki for killing her best friend, Sawa Yamauchi.

* AdaptationalModesty: In the anime version, when she emerges from Kurumi, she is wearing a dress and sandals instead of naked.
* AngstNuke: Witnessing Shinji's death caused Mio to unleash a massive explosion that destroyed the surrounding city.
* ArchEnemy: Kurumi hates her guts for turning her into an UnwittingPawn to kill out-of-control Spirits, one of which was her best friend Sawa. Her ultimate goal is to go back 30 years to when Mio first appeared and kill her (later revised to preventing her birth in the first place).
* BlankSlate: When she first appeared in this world, Mio had the mentality of an infant. However, through various exposure to different forms of media, she quickly gains self-awareness and intellect at an astonishing rate.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Refining Sephira Crystals required her to kill countless of lives (which is morally questionable by itself), and Mio enlisted Kurumi's help to get rid of her first failed humans-turned-Spirits, without informing the girl about what they were ''really'' doing. This eventually caused Kurumi to kill her best friend Sawa when the latter was given the Camael Crystal by Mio herself.
* BornAsAnAdult: Mio was "born" thirty years ago during the first Spacequake and first appeared as a naked teenage girl.
* ChestBurster: After Kurumi's shadow apparently "eats" her, she ends up killing her by popping out of her chest. When Kurumi is warned by Shido of her impending demise in the following timeline, she manages to transfer her powers to a clone before biting the dust.
* CompleteImmortality: On top of not physically aging, she's basically impervious to damage unless her own power is used against her.
* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: She accidentally created Tohka while trying to purify a Sephira Crystal on her own.
* DeathSeeker: Shido claims in volume 19 that Mio gave birth to him in order to create an existence that could kill her so she can truly reunite with Shinji. Mio doesn't refute the claim.
* DespairEventHorizon: Shinji was her entire world. After he was killed by Westcott, Mio fell into despair and she made bringing Shinji back as Shido her entire purpose.
* DidntSeeThatComing:
** Didn't expect Kurumi to be able to stop her inversion midway by reversing time to an extent before she fell in despair. Likewise, the same thing with Kurumi using the same powers to restore her memories after Mio erased them.
** She was also caught off-guard when Tohka converts her throne into armor instead of merging it with her sword to create Halvanhelev, as Mio only knows the basic powers of each Sephira Crystal and not all their potential applications. Tohka would then give her the first injury of her entire life.
* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: She fell in love with Shinji Takamiya, but he was shot dead by Westcott. She absorbed his corpse to impregnate herself with a biologically identical boy and give him the ability to seal the Sephira Crystals she would start creating. She eventually planned to give Shido memories of his previous life and erase the memories of his current one. However, Shido eventually makes her accept that even with the same body and memories as Shinji, he'll never truly be Shinji.
* TheDreaded: After learning about her powers, Kurumi claims there's no way she could ''ever'' kill the First Spirit. And sure enough, when she finally made her appearance as Mio Takamiya, she killed off Shido's entire harem with ridiculous ease.
* EtherealWhiteDress: Her Astral Dress is a beautifully elaborate white dress with the same transparent color as water droplets.
* FirstGirlAfterAll: With a twist: She was the first Spirit to be rescued by Shidou as his previous incarnation Shinji Takamiya, who was killed by Westcott in his attempt to escape from DEM's clutches with Mio. The current Shidou was reincarnated by Mio as her biological son and was adopted into the Itsuka family, until his history repeats when Tohka Yatogami manifested into the world.
* FlowersOfNature: Her Angels are all plant-themed: Ain Soph Aur is a flower, Ain Soph is a tree, and Ain is a seed. Her Astral Dress also has flower ornaments, designed like cherry blossoms, around her bosom and in her hair.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Shinji won her a bear plushy which she and her clone Reine carry around everywhere, even with their Astral Dresses equipped.
* HeelFaceTurn: She's willing to kill all the Spirits and inflict a DeathOfPersonality on Shido to reunite with Shinji, but Shido eventually gets her to accept that Shinji is gone for good, leading to her fighting alongside everyone against Westcott.
* HeroKiller: Volume 18 consists of her flat-out slaughtering all the Spirits to retrieve their Sephira Crystals. However, this was undone when Shido used Vav to travel back 24 hours before Kurumi's death to prevent it.
* HeroicSacrifice: To prevent Westcott's Qemetiel from causing unparalleled destruction, she sends Shido and the Spirits out of harms' way so she can counter it with Ain. The resulting collision kills both her and Westcott.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: She implies that she was suicidal after Shinji's death, but her body was simply too durable for any conventional method to work.
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: She can stand perfectly still while nullifying any attack that the Spirits throw at her. When Tohka gets a HeroicSecondWind after absorbing power from all other Spirits (including Mio herself), she realizes that she actually needs to dodge and takes slight damage to her Astral Dress.
* LightIsNotGood: Her Astral Dress gives off a divine appearance, including a large halo behind her with with ten stars. Her introduction in the present story has her systematically killing all the Spirits to retrieve their Sephira Crystals, with all ten stars brightly glowing when the deed is done.
* LongLostRelative: The brief memory of Mio saying "I love you" to Shido in Volume 14 implies she may be their cousin or biological mother. Volume 17 reveals that Mio is actually adopted into the Takamiya family after being discovered by Shinji, and that love confession was out of gratitude for her newly discovered love due to her ReallyWasBornYesterday mentality.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: All her villainy is motivated by her love for Shinji and desperate wish to bring him back to life, even if it means killing millions and turning Shido into a vessel for him.
* MagicalBarefooter: Her Astral Dress leaves her feet exposed.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She's an immortal Spirit who fell in love with a normal human teenager. When her lover Shinji got killed by Wescott, her awareness of a human's fleeting lifespan compared to hers gave her a disturbing resolve to recreate him into an immortal being so he could be her eternal lover.
* MonsterProgenitor: Kurumi claims in Volume 4 that all Spirits exist because of her. Inverse Tohka explains how the First Spirit is the origin of all in Volume 15, and the First herself confirmed it during Kurumi's flashback in Volume 16.
* TheMourningAfter: Shinji was the only man she ever loved and his death was her StartOfDarkness. Bringing him back to life by turning Shido into his vessel has been her goal for the past 30 years.
* NakedFirstImpression: Shinji first met her nude, as she wasn't summoned with clothing, leading Mana to think they'd been getting it on when she first sees them together.
* NakedOnArrival: During the actual story, she emerges from Kurumi nude, gaining her Astral Dress after combining with her OlderAlterEgo Reine.
* {{Necromantic}}: To bring back Shinji, she's willing to sacrifice several human hosts to purify the Sephira Crystals, cause a DeathOfPersonality to Shido, and murder all the Spirits.
* NeverGivenAName: Like Tohka, she was nameless until Shinji named her.
* NighInvulnerable: Only after borrowing the power of all the other Spirits (including Mio herself) can Tohka even put a scratch on her.
* NoOntologicalInertia: After her death, the Spirits' powers disappear, reverting them back into humans and causing Tohka, a pure spirit, to disappear.
* OneHitKill: Ain Soph Aur releases light particles that instantly cease the functions of anything, biological or mechanical, unfortunate enough to touch them. Just [[InstantDeathRadius being in the Angel's vicinity]] will kill anyone without significant protection.
* ParentalIncest: Sort of. Her plan to live forever with her lover begins with her giving birth to his reincarnation. She doesn't seem to care much about the implications, but then again, she is clearly not in a healthy state of mind. It's noted in Volume 19 that Mio (as Reine) does feel some level of motherly affection towards Shido since she is his TrulySingleParent, but it's a big deal that she doesn't consider Shinji and Shido to be the same person.
* PhysicalGoddess: As the Spirit of Origin, Mio is the primordial Spirit responsible for the creation of other Spirits. Her power is immense, with numerous characters noting that her full might is the equivalent to a god.
* PureMagicBeing: The First is composed of pure magical energy and can manifest a physical form.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In Volume 19, she counters Westcott's Qemetiel with her Ain for a MutualKill, realizing as she does so how much trouble she's caused the world with her spacequakes and Sephira Crystals.
* RememberTheNewGuy: A unique case, as Shido mentions her name to Mana in Volume 12 despite the fact that he's never done so before. The moment he does however, Mana recalls a bit about her. Likewise when Mana asks him about Mio later, he briefly remembers her say she loves him.
* ShadowArchetype: Mio is what the other Spirit girls, especially Tohka, would become if they lost Shido forever and fell into despair; obsessive, ruthless and determined to bring back their loved one no matter how many people they have to sacrifice.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Shinji. They were in love, but DEM arrived to take Mio away and Shinji was killed by Westcott when he tried to run away with Mio.
* StartOfDarkness: 30 years ago, Mio saw Shinji being murdered by Wescott while trying to protect her. This had led to her turning several girls into Spirits before killing them in order to purify the Sephira Crystals, and from there, she sown the seeds for Kurumi's StartOfDarkness as well.
* StoryBreakerPower: She has [[SuperpowerLottery THREE]] Angels: Ain Soph Aur summons a flower that disperses OneHitKill petals, Ain Soph summons a tree that puts the surrounding area [[RealityWarper under her complete control]], and Ain simply causes a CessationOfExistence for anything she targets. Nia lampshades that her powers are cheat-level and would be completely inappropriate to write into a story because such a character would be invincible.
* StylishSunhats: Mio wore a sunhat alongside a white one-piece dress for her date with Shinji, who thought she looked beautiful in it.
* TogetherInDeath: Mio finally reunites with Shinji in the afterlife after her own death.
* TragicKeepsake: She (and Reine by extension) always carry around the teddy bear Shinji bought her. It's even attached to her Astral Dress. The only time she parts with it is during her final confrontation with Westcott so it can survive their MutualKill.
* TrulySingleParent: She absorbed Shinji's dead body and gave birth to the boy known as Shido. She also regards all the Spirits as her daughters, having created their Sephira Crystals, but special mention goes to Tohka for [[PureMagicBeing being born directly from her own Crystal]], for which Inverse Tohka refers to Mio as their mother.
* TheUnfettered: She would stop at ''nothing'' to restore Shinji back as her eternal lover, from reincarnating him in her womb as Shido to spending a good 30 years in order to purify the Sephira Crystals, sacrificing countless girls in the process.
* WalkingSpoiler: She is the Spirit of Origin created 30 years ago alongside the first Spacequake, and her desperation to reunite with Shinji after his death drives much of the story.
* {{Yandere}}: As she had stated to Kotori right before killing her and everyone else aboard the ''Fraxinus'', even though their friendship were genuine, she is willing to sacrifice even that if it would bring Shinji back to her side. It culminates to her going as far as personally killing Shido's entire harem, which is only averted by one of Kurumi's clones reminding Shido that he's sealed Vav, which allows him to mentally time travel to the past.
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Ain is described as "the Angel of Void" and Shido isn't sure what exactly it was because of the blinding light it produced. The cover of Volume 18 calls it a "???-type" Angel. It's later clarified to be a seed.

A mysterious Spirit who faces the main cast in the last volumes. She's the final antagonist of the series.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Five claws floating over her right hand can cut through even the fabric of spacetime. They can be merged together to create [[spoiler:Sandalphon; her 10th sword is actually Nahemah.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: Surrounded by ten swords, each of which can channel the power of one of the Ten Angels.
* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:She's actually Tohka from a parallel world, who completely lost it when her world's Shido died.]]

* TheBerserker: Most of her "lines" are an anguished scream, and she earned the codename "Beast" for attacking everything in sight.
* CleavageWindow: Her Astral Dress has a huge opening that exposes her cleavage.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:In the alternate timeline she comes from, Shido's death led to Tohka turning into Beast, killing the other spirits, and eventually destroying the world.]]
* EmptyEyes: Her eyes are described to have a hollow look as if she has lost all purpose in life.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has red eyes with white pupils.
* FashionableAsymmetry: One of her Astral Dress' stockings is slightly longer than the other, with one covering up to her knee and the other being right below it. Also, one of her long gloves doesn't cover her hand while the other does.
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:She chooses to stay in her world so as not to leave behind the memories of her Shido]].
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Her hair is a stark white like her skin, but [[spoiler:it was originally dark purple (or "night-colored") before hitting the DespairEventHorizon, and the original color can still be seen at the tips.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Upon regaining her sanity, she openly weeps upon seeing the surviving humans of the world she destroyed.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: A supernatural being with pure white hair.
* NameAmnesia: Only line she speaks in volume 21 other than a scream is telling Shido she's long since forgotten her name. [[spoiler:She is later revealed to be the Tohka of an alternate world where Shido died]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: More so than any other Spirit given all her abilities and barely sentient mind. [[spoiler:She almost completely devastated her own world.]]
* PostFinalBoss: A year after [[spoiler:[[BigBad Westcott]] and Mio's MutualKill seemingly rids the world of Spirits]], she suddenly shows up and starts wreaking havoc.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes and little thought beyond ravaging the world.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: [[spoiler: After parting ways with Shido, she encounters her world's Kurumi, who implies that Tohka only killed one of her clones to obtain Zafkiel's blade and offers to help her fix all the death and destruction she caused to her world.]]
* VictorGainsLosersPowers: [[spoiler:Gains the other girls' Angels as swords after murdering them in her timeline]].
* WolverineClaws: Her weapon is a set of five floating, giant nails that hover around her hand as a claw.

* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: She fell in love Shinji Takamiya, but he was shot dead by Westcott. She absorbed his corpse to impregnate herself with a biologically identical boy and give him the ability to seal the Sephira Crystals she would start creating. She eventually planned to give Shido memories of his previous life and erase the memories of his current one. However, Shido eventually makes her accept that even with the same body and memories as Shinji, he'll never truly be Shinji.

* StarCrossedLovers: With Shinji. They were in love, but DEM arrived to take Mio away and Shinji was killed by Westcott when he tried to save Mio.
