* SympathyForTheDevil towards: The rest of the Pantheon/GUACYandereSquad
* Opposes: [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} Masato Kusaka/Kamen Rider Kaixa]], [[VirtueIsWeakness those with contempt for love]]
* Formerly a supervillainess, Carol Ferris resisted the corruption of the Zamaron Rings, and with the help of Queen Aga'Po, both managed to create a more benevolent version of the Zamaron Rings, thus the Star Sapphire Corps were created. With the Star Sapphire ring, she can put people in crystal prisons to experience their lost loves in hopes of improving them.
* Normally, she's not on good terms with either Sinestro and Atrocitus. However, they teamed up in the ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' to stop the menace of Nekron and his herald Black Hand. With her entry into the pantheon she's added Melkor as an enemy, since he finds ThePowerOfLove in a lantern ring to be a threat to his spreading of evil, darkness and general corruption.
* The Star Sapphire Corps is working to overcome their old {{Yandere}} roots and become a more positive force. Those who have had great loss along with feeling great love are their usual targets. The Emotions supported her ascension in that it completes the Emotional Spectrum representation and can empower good feelings, along with The Love That Moves The Stars hoping she can inspire genuine love in people.
* Critics have argued her crystal prisons as fancified HeelFaceBrainwashing, though the Corps argues it's more of a supernatural psychiatric ward. It's less this than the Indigo light, at least. The Phantom Thieves of Heart are interested in how it could help change hearts in conjunction with how they change their own. Unfortunately, Zelenin believes that it could be used to forcibly make people love YHVH, which Carol's completely against.
* Abhors Masato Kusaka because in her eyes, he doesn't have class. In fact, she prefers to avoid him the best possible. And she wouldn't like to associate herself with Yuno Gasai due to the fact that she reminds her of her past time as a Yandere. Carol Ferris is upset to see a number of obsessive lovers form their own group as the Yandere Squad, and is working to change their obsession to a more healthy romance instead of what she used to be.
* Oddly enough, she gets along with Yubel. While she never went to the level of [[{{Yandere}} obsessive love]] that Yubel went to, they were both obsessive but eventually became better people. She seems to be amicable to Aphrodite as the goddess of love, but is cautious when it comes to [[JerkassGods her more amoral side]].
* Doesn't care for those who oppose love. Khorne was the most disgusted at her, given he embodies the complete opposite of love in bloodlust and hatred, and those under his influence have a complete immunity to the Violet light of love.
* Representing love, she has nothing but contempt [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil for rapists]]. She's hoping to put Griffith under an extra-strength CrystalPrison in order to re-ignite his heart after his transformation shut down his humanity, however briefly, [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment so he can feel a pang of true anguish]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone at the love and humanity he has so thoroughly betrayed]]. On the other side of the coin, she hopes to use ThePowerOfLove to help out Casca and help her with her trauma.
* Regards Slaanesh as a twisted abomination of what love, lust and desire is. She was also disgusted by Kiara Sesshouin, whose "[[MadLove love]]" was effectively just destroying and recreating the world into one big orgy. Kiara was interested to learn of the Predator, and wants the entity for herself. As the Predator is corrupted by its host's own feelings of love and lust, this could end up just as bad as when Parallax infested Hal.
* As she helps people score and find their true love, Kyu Sugardust wants to help Carol and has been giving advice on how she and Hal can deal with their BelligerentSexualTension. Heart Aino and Shelyn were intrigued by the power of the Star Sapphires, and have pledged their support to her cause. She felt bad for Anri in that she could never feel love because Saika will overcome her mind if she does. Although this is now subverted when Anri now does feel love, became Mikado's girlfriend, and didn't become vulnerable to Saika because her love for others is stronger than Saika's own twisted love for humanity.
* After learning Hal waited for her ascension by spending time with Serena van der Woodsen, because she's [[Creator/BlakeLively a blonde version of Carol]], she made sure to visit her. After spending time with her (and seeing she's [[InLoveWithLove sort of qualified]] to get a Star Sapphire ring), Carol has promised to keep Serena under her protection.
* Carol holds Steven and the Crystal Gems in high regard and also considers them to be prime Star Sapphire Ring candidates, as their founder, Pink Diamond aka Rose Quartz, led a rebellion against her homeland out of love for her new planet, and her son/reincarnation and current leader, Steven Universe, similarly feels love for just about everything, and even managed to redeem his once worst enemies without need of brainwashing or violence. She also considers Garnet an incredibly empowering form of love, both as [[RomanticFusion a fusion made of two individuals deeply in love]] and her love of everyone and also Connie, who loves Steven enough to be part of [[TheTeamNormal the team despite not having her own powers]]. She empathizes with both Pearl and Greg Universe over having to deal with the loss of Rose. It has occurred to Carol that, while the Lantern Corps are all intergalactic and multi-racial, none have been known to be mineral based, making for [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a rather peculiar case]] if the Gems were involved.

** Diancie: [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances SpaceGodzilla]]
** The Carbink: [[Pantheon/CommercialAttitude Smaug]]
* Opposes: Gem-eaters like [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Spike]] and ''especially'' [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Sableye]], [[ExtraOreDinary deities with power over metal]]
* Conflicting Opinions: [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Yveltal]] (Diancie)
* The Jewel Pokemon is a peculiar fairy. Formed under deep pressure hundreds of millions of years ago, Carbink is a carbuncle with gems embedded in its body. Though poor offensively, [[StoneWall it has excellent defense]]. They are occasionally found in the excavation of caves. On rare occasions, a mutation can result in the birth of a Mythical Pokemon of a carbuncle, that being Diancie. Typically, it is seen as a princess of sorts and can generate beautiful and glorious pink diamonds.
* Applies to the lot
** Despite having a very feminine-looking appearance and being referred to as a "princess" by her Carbink followers, Diancie is genderless. Despite this, everyone still refers to Diancie as a female. The Carbink are similarly genderless, but identify as male [[MistressAndServantBoy what with being servants]]. Originally being apart, Diancie united with her main four Carbink servants under a single profile. They're native to the Diamond Domain.
** They tends to stay away from dragon deities since Spike [[EatDirtCheap has a steady diet of gems]]. [[Pantheon/{{Dragons}} Spyro the Dragon]] has commented on the irony of a Fairy-type frightened of dragons more than once. This is especially apparent with Sableye, who despite Fairy types being the line's only weakness predates on Carbink. And their princess looks extremely delectable to the goblin. They really don't like any steel-related deities either, [[AchillesHeel what with the 4x weakness and all]]...except for Klefki, [[OxymoronicBeing weirdly enough]].
** The House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} finds the line valuable, something which they're nonplussed with due to the greedier denizens. Smaug wants to add Diancie's servants to his collection, mainly because he finds them easier to deal with. While Dragon types are vulnerable to Fairy-type moves, it's unlikely the same elemental chart would work in their favor against the hoarding greedy dragon. The bejeweled Pokemon are also often targets of Denzel Crocker, who's obsession with FAIRIES! has him regularly try to capture the line. They'd also have the dual purpose of funding his FAIRY! locating technology.
** As Diancie is capable of creating diamonds, and Carbink have jewels embedded in them. there are greedy deities who'd want to abuse this power. Whenever this happens, Diancie would bring up a shower of diamonds and escape while the kidnapper in question celebrates their newfound treasure... only to have it disappear within minutes. Her servants will use Sharpen and pellet opponents with Power Gem. The Pantheon/{{Thieves}} sub-house is the bane of their existence.
** Yes, they are fairies. Specifically, they are based off the [[CarbuncleCreature carbuncle]]. These living gems found themselves getting along with [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Steven Universe]] and his friends, given they are generally good-aligned living gems. Calumon is another CarbuncleCreature that the five sometimes converse with. While they are fairies, they don't have much in common with the actual Pantheon/{{Fairies}} sub-house, however.
** The carbuncles often tire of financial greed, which is the usual reason why people are interested in their diamonds. They found Rin Tohsaka's interest in their gems for her magecraft, which she is always running low on, as a welcome request. Diancie and her servants were happy to generate jewels for her to use. Hazel was another good-hearted soul who has use of their gems, whichs she weaponizes by being cursed.
** Both are very disturbed at the Sleeper for corrupting the land and people through eldritch crystals. Ghauri don't disturb them, but they still don't care for him for being part of [[AntiHumanAlliance Eden]] despite his friendliness. [[spoiler:They were all quite cheesed off at YHVH and Missy [[Fanfic/DiamondAdventureTheDarkMystery for certain events]]. Missy having a HazyFeelTurn isn't enough for them to be remotely close to trusting her again, especially given what a psycho her immediate predecessor and successor are.]]
* Applies to Diancie
** In [[Anime/PokemonDiancieAndTheCocoonOfDestruction one universe]], Diancie is a rather mischievous princess whose main purpose is to create a Heart Diamond for her kingdom once the current one dies. However, she needed Xerneas's powers to strengthen it, first, so Diancie teamed up with Ash and his friends to search for it. She has an uneasy relationship with Yveltal due to the time where it [[spoiler:absorbed the lives of many of her friends, including Pikachu]]. Diancie is just glad that Yveltal isn't evil, as she spent some time fearing. She was fearful of both [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Greninja]], due to [[Anime/PokemonDiancieAndTheCocoonOfDestruction the three of them trying to make off with her]]. However after he assured her that it was working under orders, she became good friends with the frog.
** Like many Pokémon, Diancie is capable of Mega Evolution. Unlike many, she was able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone which brought many theories around. Since then, Rayquaza, [[Pantheon/{{Locations}} Latias and Latios]], can also Mega Evolve without a stone, so no one really cares anymore. Homura nearly [[OhCrap had a heart attack]] upon first seeing Diancie in her Mega Form from a distance, thinking that somehow Madoka had gotten her powers back without her knowing and was coming to take revenge for what she did. [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Ezreal]], after scouting her from afar, has started to wonder if Diancie has been secretly granting truly outrageous gem magic to his fellow champ Taric.
** Like most deities, Diancie changes appearance whenever she's inside [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Space Paranoids]]. Uniquely, rather than gaining armor, Diancie's headdress, prongs, rhomboid gem, and the crystal on her bottom rock change color from pink to cyan. She is the only known Pokémon to change appearance in {{Cyberspace}}, though it's currently unknown what Diancie would look like in The Grid.
** A pretty pink princess, Diancie hangs out with other pink princesses in hopes of support for protecting her home. She and Princess Bubblegum had a discussion about how they learned to control and master their elemental powers, being jewel and candy respectively.
* Applies to the Carbink
** They were initially brought to the pantheon by [[Pantheon/GamingGenresNtoZ Steve]] digging them up when trying to get diamonds. This was confusing to some because Steve was digging in Reflection Cave, and the four ascended Carbink were native to the Diamond Domain. As it turns out the Carbink who initially ascended under GemEncrusted was leaving and they were saying goodbye. [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Apparently Reflection Cave]] is also the connection to a MirrorUniverse, which has made the area of interest to the House of Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos.
** Sympathetic towards Cael Cynder and Nibbler due to how they have been targeted for their natural valuables. Seems to get along with Reisen as well for being a rabbit fairy-like creature, much like themselves. Johan Anderson seems fond of the gems on Carbink's body, and they like his look.
** While they serve Diancie, Rarity is the partner of the four Carbink. She's a natural with gem polish and stylish gems, which appeals to them. She has helped with keeping his gems polish, which is usually achieved by their fellows rubbing their soft manes. Well to be more accurate, only one of them at a time is her partner as they alternate and have to keep in mind Diancie. Merrick serves with Rarity on Monday and Friday, Bort on Tuesday and Saturday, Allotrope on Wednesday and Sunday, and Dace on Thursday.

* Respected By: [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypes The Doom Slayer]]
* Their story begins during the UsefulNotes/IndustrialRevolution, which this universe's Alchemists Guild was in very strong opposition. To this end, they resorted to trying to summon demons, among them the Demon King Bael, in order to scare the masses away from relying on technology, and their method involved crystals filled with demon energy called Shards. They infused these Shards to abducted orphaned children, making them Shardbinders, and Miriam and Gebel were among them. These children were raised to fight demons and disciplined to obey the guild. Years later, the time came for the summoning ritual, and the Guild would successfully summon their demon army at the expense of all their Shardbinders, save two. Miriam and Gebel would miraculously survive, he by sheer willpower and fortune [[spoiler:and having an exorcist in his ancestry]], and she by being put into slumber by [[spoiler:the repentant Alfred]] in order to cut in half the power of the ritual, thus denying at least the summoning of Bael. The Guild's plan was a colossal backfire as their intended plan did not come to fruition (and caused a calamity), the Church (after quelling that calamity) executed its higher-ups, and the remnants would be hunted down in their own Guild by none other than Gebel himself [[spoiler:(though Alfred would escape before then)]]. The last waking Shardbinder vanished after that, Miriam continued sleeping, and the Guild apprentice Johannes—who was close to the two—studied the effects of the shards with Dominique Baldwin, an agent of the Church, and predicted that Miriam would wake in 10 years.
** Just as that time came, Gebel returned, brought a castle called the Hellhold with him, and summoned a legion of demons to ravage Earth in revenge for what mankind has done to the Shardbinders so long ago. With Miriam awake, she, Johannes, and Dominique (the former two on a galleon, the latter separately) set off to Arvantville, which was close to the Hellhold. As the only other Shardbinder left, Miriam has to be the one to put a stop to Gebel, and the two had even made a promise long ago that if either of them lost their way, [[FightingYourFriend the other would stop them]]. On the way, they were beset by demons, and upon vanquishing them, their Shards forced themselves into Miriam, granting her their powers, but also running the risk of the crystals overtaking her body [[spoiler:though this is put into question [[BitchInSheepsClothing given the source]] of this factoid]]. However, upon Miriam and Gebel first meeting each other again after so long, it seems he's forgotten that promise, and wants Miriam to join him so they can sequester themselves away from mankind. Naturally, she refused, and he dared her to ask him again after absorbing more Shards before departing.
** Throughout her journey, she would be forced to absorb Shards from slain demons to acquire their powers, cross paths with Guild remnant and Johannes' master Alfred who seems obsessed with reclaiming the Liber Logaeth, cross blades with the Oriental demon hunter Zangetsu (and eventually earn his trust), help villagers with their woes, trade with Johannes, Dominique, and a few other kooky benign demons for wares, supplies, and services. All the while, Gebel waited, hoping Miriam would see things his way and join her side.
** In the end, [[spoiler:the True End where Gremory is outed as being the one actually controlling Gebel, he's just bait for Miriam who's the true target the entire time, as well as Dominique being revealed to have been working against Miriam all along]], Gebel returned to his senses and thanked Miriam [[spoiler:only to fully crystallize in the end]], Miriam put a stop to the real mastermind [[spoiler: Gremory (with Zangetsu's help), [[TheManBehindTheMan the woman behind her]] Dominique, who sought to summon Bael in order to kill God due to losing faith in Him]], then had the Hellhold sent back from whence it came [[spoiler:by Johannes following instructions left by Alfred]].
* [[VideoGame/BloodstainedCurseOfTheMoon While there's an alternate tale featuring almost all the main cast]] [[spoiler:where Gebel does survive]], this Miriam and Gebel come from one timeline, and following their ascension is a TearJerker of a reunion given [[spoiler:there was no way to save Gebel from death]]. Still, they have {{Ghost Memor|y}}ies of that timeline, which can be confusing given that [[spoiler:Gebel and Alfred are still alive in that mortal realm[[labelnote:*]]Zangetsu is already confirmed to have escaped Gremory's trap eventually[[/labelnote]] and Dominique ''isn't'' secretly evil]], as well as the ability to Mascotify.

* Applies to both:
** With the help of Johannes [[spoiler:and some of Alfred's suggested improvements before his mortal passing]], Miriam no longer has to worry about the Shards inside her from overtaking her body, [[spoiler:and the same privilege is now applied to Gebel after his resurrection, to the state he was in before Gremory abandoned him]]. All the Shards they've acquired thus far is all that will be available: there will be no additional Shards in the Pantheon, and both wouldn't have it any other way.
** In terms of their residency, Miriam and Gebel's temple takes the form of Arvantville where Miriam stayed during her battle against the demons, and a few elements of the Hellhold, including Gebel's throne room, O.D.'s library [[spoiler:after Miriam ended up taking him in as a servant when she forgot to return a certain book to him before wrapping things up with Gremory, and he engaged her in a battle that she just barely won]], and Todd's room. The latter elements are hidden away so as to not distress the villagers, and Gebel's status as instigator of the incident is kept a secret from them; all they know about Gebel is that he's a friend of Miriam, and that he has a terrible affliction. Johannes resides at the village [[spoiler:with Alfred, who's BackFromTheDead thanks to the Pantheon]]. Miriam was surprised to see the Demon Barber among her Gebel's heralds. He responds that he still needs her help to cut [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] hair styles, and that such a feat was [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse unresolvable during their time at the Hellhold]]. Hopefully he'll have better luck in the Pantheon, and hopefully she might discover more hairstyles for him to cut (for her or anyone else who visits and isn't afraid of him).
** As for what Mascotify is, it's a (non-Shard powered) ability that transforms them into an invincible box that hovers around another person as long as they're within a set distance, and back at the "escorter's" present location. This way, the "carried" can be escorted around difficult areas easier without worrying about getting hurt or the risk of crumbling bridges, but their life is now linked to the "escorter" during this, and their death would also mean the death of the "carried".
** When it comes to dealing with people who think being altered with anything non-human automatically makes someone less than human, or when faced with prejudice for involuntary transformation, Gebel has some words of wisdom he once told Miriam when she had lost her will to live before he snapped her out of it. As a result, they have dim opinions on those who [[BlamingTheVictim blame the victims]] for their condition, harbor empathy for the altered who [[ProhumanTransHuman still hold on to their humanity]] however they can, and hold contempt for those who either [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse use their condition as an excuse for terrible things]] or if they [[TranshumanTreachery willingly throw away their capacity to care for others]]. Gebel's words were as follows.
--> '''Gebel:''' If we ask for the demons' power, ''then'' we're monsters. But if people force us to take it, then our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do. That freedom of choice is proof we're human.
** On top of corroding their bodies, Shards also make them susceptible to DemonicPossession. With plenty of powerful demons in the Pantheon, this means both Gebel and Miriam are at risk if they ever take on any of the powerful ones. The only reason Miriam dodged those particular bullets back then is because [[spoiler:Gremory—once she was ousted from Gebel—pursued the Liber Logaeth, then was sealed in a room by Zangetsu before taking him away, and then Miriam used the demon hunter's sword to send her back to whence she came, and Bael already took Dominique as a host by the time he encountered Miriam.]] As a result, it's now become ironic that despite their powers meant for slaying demons, Miriam and Gebel are unable to go out and do that without proper countermeasures first, of which they will hopefully find in the Pantheon.
** Given their story is apparently a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Castlevania'' series, it was inevitable that Miriam and Gebel would be approached by the Belmont Clan and their allies. And given the fact that Alucard is one of their allies, they all (with varying degrees of caution, or full trust) accepted the male Shardbinder after Miriam vouched for him. Naturally, this made them enemies with the Clan's archenemy Dracula as well. Speaking of Alucard, during a duel between him and Miriam, it was apparent that for some reason she already knew how to fight [[CaptainErsatz someone like him]]. She explained about O.D. [[spoiler:and how she had to fight him [[FelonyMisdemeanor after forgetting to return one of his books]]]].
** Miriam's first encounter with Shovel Knight ended up as a clash, because she had assumed he was a stray small Shovel Armor demon, and because an Itazura Griefer deceived her for laughs. She then assumed he was some sort of elite variant after he started using his Relics as well as him asking her why are they fighting. It was only through interference by Shield Knight was the misunderstanding cleared, and Miriam profusely apologized for it. Shovel Knight let the matter slide, complimented Miriam's skill, and they parted ways as allies. They were easy to convince of Gebel's turn back to good, given Shield Knight was similarly brainwashed before into the Enchantress.
** Another fight borne from a misunderstanding came from Dante Sparda, and actually mirrored the first time Miriam met Zangetsu. However, this fight would slow down after Miriam discovered that Dante clearly wasn’t taking the fight seriously and was almost literally playing around (his cocky grin making it more evident), and she made her frustration clear. They had a brief talk after that, and they eventually got a better understanding of one another. Dante also found Miriam's mastery over numerous different weapons fun and entertaining. Afterward, Dante decided to introduce her and Gebel to other Demon Slayers... as soon as a countermeasure for DemonicPossession is found (and they eventually do).
*** Gebel's actions [[spoiler:under Gremory's brainwashing]] brought chilled receptions from these other demon slayers, and required a lot of convincing from Miriam that he's on the up and up now. The Doom Slayer's helmet-obscured glare unnerved even the male Shardbinder, but he understood his words [[spoiler:given a demon also helped him]]. Bayonetta kind of understands Gebel's situation given her Father Balder [[spoiler:was also under MindControl all along before being freed from it by her, though there was also time travel involved on his end]], so it's a bit confusing. Princess Sakuna is more concerned with Gebel's ability to summon demons than whether or not he (or Miriam) can be trusted, but she'll hold the female Shardbinder to her word. The Winchester brothers and Castiel—given all their troubles with demons (not to mention [[{{Pantheon/Planning}} Crowley]] entangling himself in their affairs and them in his several times over)—have difficulty trusting either of them, even Miriam, despite her best efforts, though they won't stop them when fighting the same foes. Flynn trusts them, and himself summons demons anyway. [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} The Demi-Fiend]] doesn't have any particular opinions for ''or'' against them, but wishes to test his might against them one day. Hoss Delgado, for all his boneheadedness, shares the same opinions as the harvest-war goddess; doesn't quite trust Gebel, but will hold Miriam to her word that he's not evil anymore, and they're fine as long as neither of them summon any demons around him.
** Despite no longer having to worry about corruption from their Shards, that doesn't mean certain parties (mostly from the Houses of Knowledge and Magic) won’t be interested in them, and may try to use them, or capture them for experiments. Most attempts from evil or insensitive people have usually ended with a plethora of demons from Gebel coming their way, and neither he nor Miriam are slouches by any measure in fending off personal attacks. That's not to say there aren't any benign interested parties who wish to learn about Shards, but most of them know better than to press the subject given how traumatic and disastrous their childhoods were. On a lighter note, [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Marisa Kirisame]] has been seen eyeing them whenever they're in battle, trying to learn to emulate their techniques for herself.
*** Merlin's also expressed great interest in them given his origins. In fact, their Shards are something he considers unique and new, something he hasn’t seen or experienced before. As a reward for this new experience, he provided the Shardbinders with an enchantment that would ward off DemonicPossession as a result of their Shards. It ''did'' take the form of a Shard for each of them however, but unlike all other Shards, these ones did not cause any pain upon insertion. And with Merlin’s status as powerful wizard and seer, he has learned everything others know, will know, and also things they will never know about Shards from a first glance. Merlin also complimented their Herald Johannes in his skills in alchemy, successfully creating and replicating powerful weapons, like the Carnwennan.
** On top of malicious demons, the Shardbinders eventually had to contend with zealous angels as well, particularly those under YHVH and Paradiso. And in more complicated matters, the latter's counterparts the Demons of Inferno also get involved, and they usually target Miriam more given how many demons she's slain while also trying to curry favor with Gebel, who rebuffs them at every turn. And while [[spoiler: Dominique was a traitor to her faith]], [[KnightTemplar those overzealous in their belief in God that lead to depraved acts]] are no better, such as Judge Frollo for his lust and his desire to purge gypsies, and William Stryker for claiming oppression from people different from ordinary humans. Alexander Anderson however is a unique case; he wishes to strike down Gebel for the whole Hellhold affair, but as long as she's not with him, he's perfectly fine with Miriam's presence given how she [[spoiler:not only laid Gebel to rest in the mortal realm, but stopped the heretic Dominique as well from successfully bringing Baal to Earth]].
** As for working alongside people of the Catholic Church, given Miriam did work on their behalf [[spoiler:assuming Dominique wasn't pulling a solo operation unbeknownst to even Johannes]], similar problems were encountered as with the demon hunters given Gebel's actions. Given he has an ally demon, Rosette already has confidence in Miriam that Gebel really won't turn against them. The same goes for Elsa la Conti and Clarice di Lanza, the latter of whom is a demon herself. [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 The Imperium of Man]] is better off avoided entirely due to their fanaticism.

%% ** ([[green:Look more into the current Magical Characters we have, to see if I can pinpoint any mages or alchemists that that bare any similarities to the Alchemists in Bloodstained. Also look into Miriam's weapons, armor and accessories. There are a number of Named Weapons (of the Mythical theme). Look deeper so I can pinpoint some more character interactions.]])
%% ** ([[green:Interactions with the Elric Bros. and the Homunculi given their history with Alchemy]].)

* Exclusive to Miriam:
** Is well-versed in all sorts of weapons: kicking, daggers, swords, clubs, greatswords, axes, staves, spears, whips, and firearms. Her bullets for the last can range from mundane hollow-points to elemental or diamond-made, and even if she runs out (which it won't when Miriam has the [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Headgear Recycle Hat]] on), she has the Infinite Rounds, though they're much weaker. As such, whenever she's honing her skills in the House of Weapons, you can find her in just about any of its Halls.
** She can empathize with those who [[EvilStoleMyFaith lost their faith in God]] after suffering great loss, such as [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Setsuna F. Seiei]] (who accepted her compassion and decided it wouldn't be bad to be friends), [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Mal Reynolds]] (who saw no problem with her, as long as she has no reason to intervene in his crew's... way of life), [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Revy]] ([[DontYouDarePityMe who rebuffed her]], but sees no reason to antagonize Miriam any further than that), and Magneto (who accepts her sympathies, but warns that they may sometimes end up clashing), but it still doesn't excuse [[FaithHeelTurn turning against their own kind]] and/or setting loose demons, [[spoiler:as Dominique Baldwin had]]. She also opposes those who seek godhood for selfish reasons or wish to kill gods. Unless said gods are malevolent, such as YHVH [[spoiler: or Chuck Shurley]]. %% ** On top of her talents in combat, Miriam is also a [[ElegantClassicalMusician talented pianist]], and may occasionally play some tunes when she has the time. If her summoned Familiar is a Carabosse, [[https://youtu.be/RqdQcfSg2BI she will sing along]].
** Wants to make sure that if someone needs to use a Waystone or some other one-use teleportation item that doesn't already have a set destination locked (such as a [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Scroll of Town Portal]]), the user should have their destination in the forefront of their mind and nothing else. She's had to deal with someone who got lost a few more times due to getting distracted. Miriam also takes great care to return any borrowed books and makes sure others do the same. Orlok Dracule's boss fight taught her the hard way, even though it did grant her the [[ColourCodedTimestop Standstill Shard]], as well as O.D.'s services.
** As someone who's also had to fight against a brother figure who did everything for them but lost themselves to the power they have, in addition to [[spoiler: coming to their senses just as they were defeated and passing away]], Miriam got along well with Shanoa. They also discovered that they both help townspeople in their adventures, use shards/glyphs embedded in their skin, and were both taken in as a child by a demon/dracula-worshipping organization who tried to use her to summon forth said demons/dracula at the cost of her life (and thankfully didn't come to pass). Miriam also got along well with Soma Cruz given their ability to acquire abilities from enemies (souls for Soma, Shards for Miriam), their expertise with multiple melee weapons, and their antagonists trying to urge them to absorb as many as possible so they can become more powerful, and while their special abilities is seen as a weapon that can be used for evil, they both wanted nothing to do with it and use it to fight for good. They also both have alternate fates where they fell to the dark side. %% ** The Aqua Stream Shard is Miriam's primary means of traversing underwater, and she can use it with impunity while down there. It helps that she has SuperNotDrowningSkills.
** Another notable Shard of hers is [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Summon_Chair Summon Chair]], where she does exactly that, and can spawn several at a time. They're not just for show, for they can regenerate mana while one is seated on such a chair, but these chairs are temporary and will disappear when Miriam leaves the area or she dismisses it manually. When she has to wait for any reason, and is unable to find an adequate seat or needs to replenish her mana, Miriam will use this Shard instead, and may be convinced to summon more for others, though she doesn't yet know if their restorative properties will apply to ''their'' magic if they have any.
** When in a pinch, and there's a lot of blood spilled, she has the Blood Steal Shard to heal herself with that blood. Unlike other blood-related magics, it cannot affect blood ''still inside the body''; it has to be already spilt. This makes battles against her in the House of Slaughter or in slaughterhouses in her favor as there is plenty to absorb. On occasion, the Aerospace Sanitation Janitor appreciates her company if she has the time to clean up blood (leaving just the rest of the junk), making their job easier even for just a day.
** Was once read a tale back as a child that's similar to her own adventure, except the protagonist was a redheaded girl named Aurora. [[AllJustADream It was just a story on Miriam's side of the tale]], [[OrWasItADream but what of on the Child of Light's end?]] According to Aurora at least (who regarded Miriam with caution at first, having only met her Doppelganger before), this tale rings true on her side, taking place just after she vanquished Queen Umbra, and crossed the mirror back to her home kingdom, [[spoiler:which was about to be swallowed by floodwater]]. She was taken to this realm instead, her friends turned into Shards, and Aurora regressed to a child once more. Still, by fighting the demons of the castle, she slowly regained her lost power, and eventually [[spoiler:stopped Dominique and Bael, and on doing so was spirited (with her friends back to normal) back to her intended destination; her kingdom in Austria, in time to evacuate her people to Lemuria]]. As for the two Shardbinders, Aurora gets along with them well, even Gebel (since she somehow deduced his real situation), but also laments that [[spoiler: his fate (and she was aware of his…controlled state) was no different in Aurora's side of the story than in Miriam's]].
* Exclusive to Gebel:
** Despite his redemption, his faith in humanity is yet to be [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity entirely restored]] due to all the sins the Alchemist Guild committed, and mostly keeps to himself unless he's accompanying Miriam, or when receiving visitors who wish to see him personally. An Anonymous Group that consisted of those who regained faith in people, such as [[Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism Hotel Transylvania owner Count Dracula]], [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Joshua]], [[Pantheon/{{Touring}} AZ]], and [[Pantheon/PredecessorsAndMentors Azmuth]] (when he has the time), have thought of inviting him over to talk about this. With encouragement from Miriam, he decided to accept these invitations.
** When it comes to what Shards he has, besides those he showed during his boss fight, given all the demons he's summoned, it's highly likely that he has most of the same Shards as Miriam, though some that she has are definitely unavailable to him as they are either optional, or are acquired after [[spoiler:Gremory was outed]]. Speaking of summoned demons, he is still able to do that, having first known to have done it when he hunted down the remainder of the Alchemists Guild that had experimented on him and Miriam so long ago. As for weaponry, it's not known if he's even a MultiMeleeMaster like Miriam, given all the training Shardbinders are subjected to, but he usually defaults to a sword, or sending out bats from his cape.
** As someone else who suffered abusive experiments from those who made him who he is, and eventually rebelled against them before turning on all humanity for a while before being convinced to abandon that line of thinking, Gebel actually finds a kindred soul in Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon can see this too and finds his words to Miriam wise even if it can't apply to Mewtwo himself since he never was human.
** Having heard of him from Bayonetta, Gebel has considered visiting Father Balder, but the stances of their powers made him concerned given the Church's stance against demons [[spoiler:and Dominique may have been working alone when she concocted that plot with Gremory]]. However, Balder himself had no problems seeking him out after hearing of the Shardbinders through the proverbial grapevine. After all, he ''did'' fall in love with and marry an Umbra Witch, so the concept of someone benevolent who consorts with demons isn't foreign.
** Given [[spoiler:what Gremory did to him]], and her pride in her heritage [[spoiler:stained by that act against him]], Rias Gremory made contact with him and [[spoiler:wanted to apologize for what Gremory did and forced him to do]]. Gebel in turn had a few problems the first time around, in a combination of trauma and horror of what happened to him [[spoiler:and with what he did because of Gremory]], but at the same time he's more upset with himself since Rias had no involvement with what happened, and recognizes her to be a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent literal different demon]], so he shouldn't even place her in the same category, and eventually warmed up to her.

* Palossand is a curious Ghost-type Pokemon. The evolved form of Sandyghast, each grain of sand has a life of its own. This sand collective shapes itself as an impressively large sandcastle, averaging 4 feet 3 inches, but some can get truly colossal. It can control adults to get it more sand so it can become bigger, or replace what is lost. The shovel serves as a sensoring radar.
* Though seeming harmless, the Sand Castle Pokemon is carnivorous and has small Pokemon who live in it get their vitality drained. It has the bones of its prey buried underneath the castle. Despite this, [[NonMaliciousMonster it is simply trying to feed]] and finds how Jadis turns living people into frozen statues for no reason other than her twisted amusement to be cruel. That, and it's vulnerable to ice.
* Competes for food with the Sarlacc and the Blob. The former lives in a sandy desert as a trap for prey, and the latter shares a weakness to Ice. The Blob is considered the more dangerous as Palossand hasn't eaten people. The Sarlacc is also considered more dangerous, but Palossand disagrees since he can move more. [[MightyGlacier Well, sort of]].
* As living sand, Palossand found himself attracted to various other SentientSands in its new house. As Sandy is the official representative of SentientSands and has a passive temperament, the Pokemon thought it'd be for the best to serve under Sandy. He also had more authority compared to the other sandy beings, in Palossand's opinion.
* While William Baker is a crook, [[AntiVillain he's a noble enough cad]] that Palossand likes him. After all, Palossand has a sinister side. However Crocodile is too cruel in Palossand's eyes, though it's mainly under the influence of his partner since Palossand is pretty neutral to most things.
* Gravitates to Tyranitar and Crixalis. Their sandstorms boost Palossand's power, possibly beyond what's normal for Ground types considering the Pokemon's composition. Gaara also helps with that, and Toph Bei Fong's power over earth can serve as a boon to Palossand.
* Was interested in Odibatorasu. The Cannon Rock Wyvern is responsible for shaping an entire desert to the way it is now, and continues to do so with its abilities to fend off anyone it so much as sees in its territory. While this sand was a boon to the Pokemon's power, the territorial behavior of Odibatorasu had him find Palossand annoying and keeps trying to blow him away.
* Anakin Skywalker hates Palossand, given his thoughts on sand; [[Memes/AttackOfTheClones it's rough, course and gets anywhere]]. Also, a being with consciousness in every grain of sand would wreak havoc on Vader's respirator. Lilo and Stitch were much more amicable, since they live in Hawaii(which Alola is based off) and likes beaches.
* Sometimes he lets Emmet Brickowski play in him without risk of being eaten, since as a LEGO mini-fig even a small Palossand is impressive, and the Pokemon likes hid skill at building. Despite his weakness to Water type moves, the Water Compaction ability boosts defense if hit by the moves so he doesn't mind the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture. Plus sandcastles live near the sea anyway.
* Due to the Pokemon's residence on beaches, Palossand doesn't like polluters and he wasn't happy to learn about Hexxus. The Pokemon appreciates the Lorax for his environmental messages. Palossand has a position in the House of Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} given he's a haunted (sand)castle, but otherwise isn't interested in them since the Pokemon's most powerful with sand readily available.

* Opposes: Water-related deities in the Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture sub-house, [[Pantheon/ElementalPairings Kyogre and Groudon]], [[Pantheon/{{Family}} The Child Abuse Supporters]], [[Pantheon/{{Locations}} George of the Jungle]]
* William Baker was born in Queens, New York, and had to deal with his father running out at three. To succeed in life he would end up being in a number of illegal activities, eventually getting arrested and meeting his father. Upon his escape, he would flee to a nuclear testing site in Nevada, where contact with the irradiated sand transformed. Now composed of sand, he became the supervillain and at times anti-hero Sandman.
* While one of Spiderman's most prominent foes, [[AntiVillain he's not that bad a guy]]. The Sandman is more a thief and crook than a killer, and has tried to go straight on occasion. [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor It doesn't stick]], though he managed it for a substantial amount of time. The Thing once urged him to go straight, resulting in the two being [[FriendlyEnemy friendly enemies]]. Still, this crooked bent means he feels more comfortable in the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions.
* As a sentient mass of sand, [[ElementalShapeshifter he can use his own body as a weapon]]. This proficiency with sand allows him to show off more in the Metal And Minerals sub-house, where he tests his sand powers against Gaara and Crocodile. He tends to be a lot more friendly about it with Gaara, as they're to some degree former villains. His consciousness exists in a single grain of sand that when captured leaves him powerless. [[AndIMustScream It's a horrible fate for him]], and he rightfully fears what AM might do to him in that state.
* His criminal career began when he had to pay off large gambling debts to the mafia. While most ascended mafia gods have no relation with him, he detests Diavolo and Polpo for embodying the cruel side of organized crime and their treatment to subordinates. Or Walter White for the vicious drug empire he has. On the other side, he is supportive of Giorno Giovanna because he dreams of making the mafia a force for good. He works well with Omar Little due to being sympathetic thieves and Tychus Filandy as he sympathizes with him being TrappedInVillainy.
* Looks a lot alike to [[Pantheon/{{Explosives}} Norman Osborn]], sharing the same hairstyle. They may or may not be cousins, though don't care for each other and [[EvenEvilHasStandards he thinks the Green Goblin is a lunatic]]. Sometimes his name is Flint Marko instead of William Baker, though this is usually a nickname or alias.
* Ended up getting along with Leonard Snart; they're both [[AntiVillain more sympathetic foes]] with flashy powers, and often face off against a teenage-young adult superhero. [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Bruce Wayne]] notes that he is similar to Clayface, though more in powerset than personality. [[ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse When the DC and Marvel universes merged]], he merged with [[ComicBook/PlasticMan Eel o'Brian]] into Silconman
* Being composed of sand leads him to all the weaknesses of sand. He prefers to say away from the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture because he doesn't work well as mud, which he learned from a merger with Hydro-Man. Extreme heat will turn him into glass, like those Ragnaros and Brand wield. In addition, he is vulnerable to Crixalis as the creature's desert storms will blow him away. [[WeaksauceWeakness Or being vacuumed up]].
* Though a crook, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he does care for his relatives]] as seen with his foster daughter Keemia. [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy In one universe]] he has a daughter who he committed crimes for to pay for her operation. He opposes the Child Abuse Supporters, especially given his own father's ParentalAbandonment.
* In a reality where [[ComicBook/MarvelZombies zombies invaded]], he showed how dangerous his powers could be by [[BodyHorror forcing himself down the supposed zombie Spiderman's body, and bursting it from the inside]]. Thanks to Iron Man's nanites, he was able to cure the zombie plague on Earth-91126. Many an undead now stay their distance from him.
* Is annoyed by George of the Jungle, who mistakes him for his former romantic rival [[Creator/ThomasHadenChurch Lyle]] and likes to mock Sandman, usually responding with rock solid sand punches.

* Ascended after one day he decided to visit his [[HoYay "best friend"]] Judai in the Pantheon. He did so by having summoned all Crystal Beasts to bring forth the mighty Rainbow Dragon to transport him there. Everyone was surprised that was even possible.
** [[HahahaNo However, that's just the official reason]]. The real reason why he was allowed in the Pantheon was that, after the announcement of the release of new Pendulum cards for his deck, [[spoiler:some deities want to keep closer tabs on Johan just in case the [[Anime/YugiohArcV "Shin Shokan Taisen" prophecy]] becomes a reality and maybe even avoid it]].
* It should be noted that his method of dimension-hopping people with the Rainbow Dragon usually works by leaving behind the user (read: [[TheScapegoat him]]) and the reason he could go to the Pantheon was because he was only transporting himself.
* ''[[MemeticMutation "He's just Jaden, with a southern accent"]]''. That was what everyone said about Johan/Jesse by the time of his ascension. In reality, when shove comes to push, Johan and Judai are very different. Where Johan is snarky yet very selfless ([[HeroicSacrifice To the point of]] [[TakingTheBullet it being ridiculous]]); Judai is oblivious to many things, [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness impulsive]] and [[FatalFlaw selfish]]. They still are very close regardless but Johan can't help but facepalm whenever he remembers what Judai did in his name that time in the Different Dimensions.
** He also facepalmed when he heard about what happened at the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion "Great Upheaval"]], feeling that Homura is behaving like Judai but worse. Homura herself just replied that he would have spared his friend from the bother of going that route if he stopped making Judai worry about him.
* His Sapphire Pegasus (and him, by extension) get along very well with the Equestria deities in the Pantheon. In particular, he likes hanging out with Rainbow Dash (he finds her Sonic Rainbooms very awesome), Rarity (he loves her designs) and Celestia (due to both sharing a love for pranks). Though lots of eye-rolling and laughter ensued when they first heard him calling Sapphire a "Pegasus" since the equine is actually an alicorn.
* A bit of a trickster, as he loves "trolling" people, whether it is a friend [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu or a]] DarkMessiah [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu of an]] EldritchAbomination. He once showed it off when he came in his old bondage costume on request of Plutia for the lulz.
* Due to coming from a long chain of [[{{Expy}} Expies]] (He is one to Judai, who's one to Yugi and Jonouchi, he fills the same best friend position as Jonouchi, and is also a {{Expy}} to [[Pantheon/HairColor Kaworu Nagisa]]) and the chain is continuing up to this day, many have wondered why he didn't claim the title first. Johan just said that he doesn't care much for that position and prefers that Syrma and Plutia have it instead.
* Incidentally, mention his sucessors in the "best friend position" at your own peril. You ''might'' get away with mentioning [[Anime/Yugioh5Ds Johnny/Bruno]][[spoiler:/Dark Glass/Vizor/[[AntiVillain Antimony]]]], he definitely doesn't like it when someone reminds him of [[Anime/YugiohZEXAL Rei Shingetsu/Vector]], Sora Shiun'in [[spoiler:and [[Anime/YugiohArcV Dennis Macfield]]]]. Especially the former, since he really tarnished his legacy [[spoiler:in spite of his redemption]]. The fact they remind him of Vector is the reason why he opposes the Trollkaiger (plus they give "trolling" such a bad rep).
** He nearly passed out when he saw ''Vector'' in the Pantheon. He has decided to have a rivalry against him since [[spoiler:[[ForgivenButNotForgotten he is not gonna forget what he did anytime soon]]]]. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Yes, this is the one time Johan doesn't want his]] [[FriendlyRival rivalry to be friendly]]
** He also got himself in a scuffle against [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Jin Kisaragi]] and [[Pantheon/WeaponizedTools Simon]] [[spoiler:since he thought that the newest traitor of his legacy, Dennis Macfield, was in the Pantheon due to them [[Creator/TetsuyaKakihara sounding similar to him]]]]. Judai and Yusei had to bail him out of both situations and Johan eventually apologized to them. Obviously, only Simon accepted his apology, and Jin is still furious that he was attacked all of a sudden.
* Johan's Amethyst Cat gets along with Sailor Moon's friend Luna. He also gets along with Serena, due to the hilarity of both being [[{{Expy}} Expies]] that have appeared right next to the original (Johan is this to Judai and Serena is this to Minako). Though she wonders if his Rainbow Dragon has any relation with the Silver Crystal, [[Anime/SailorMoon due to that time it got broken in seven pieces]].
* Doesn't know what to make of [[spoiler:Yubel after seeing her in the Pantheon. While he has forgiven Judai for what he did, he finds the idea of fusing with that crazy demon as demented. At the very least, he is grateful that she hasn't tried anything]]. The same cannot be said about Kyubey, who sounds so frighteningly [[Creator/CassandraLeeMorris similar]] to the spoilered individual, looks similar to his dear Carbuncle Ruby, planned to harm Madoka and made Homura do what she did; which strikes him as being way too similar to what happened back in the Different Dimensions. He simply can't stand that bunnycat.
* Unlike many of the Yugioh gods, he has tried to make the Japanese gods call him by his dub name Jesse. At first this was chalked up to [[TheTrickster Johan being Johan]] but later he revealed that he simply doesn't want to be confused with Johan Liebert, whom he considers as being far more monstrous than the Duel Spirits he often hangs out with.
** However, he doesn't know what to make of the other [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Anderson]] in the Pantheon.
* For the record, [[Manga/YugiohGX he does remember that one time he used an Insect Deck]]. But he was ascended for his magical Crystal Beasts Deck from his original appearance. He doesn't seem to mind bugs though. In fact, he often goes to the House of Beasts to catch some bugs (or to hang out with Fluttershy).
* Has some followers who believe that he is the reincarnation of UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar, the one who found the Crystal Beasts before losing them and that's why they chose him. [[EpilepticTrees But naaah, that can't be true]].
** Though this brought the atention of a certain [[Pantheon/{{Workmanship}} Nero]], who really bought into the theory before personally meeting him. In spite of this, they have become friends and Nero has become a new common [[FriendlyRivalry "rival"]] the few times she learns how to duel (Before inevitably forgetting about the skill).

** Given their story is apparently a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Castlevania'' series, it was inevitable that Miriam and Gebel would be approached by the Belmont Clan and their allies. And given the fact that Alucard is one of their allies, they all (with varying degrees of caution, or full trust) accepted the male Shardbinder after Miriam vouched for him. Naturally, this made them enemies with the Clan's archenemy Dracula as well. Speaking of Alucard, during a duel between him and Miriam, it was apparent that for some reason she already knew how to fight [[CaptainErsatz someone like him]]. She explained about O.D. [[spoiler:and how [[BonusBoss she had to fight him]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor after forgetting to return one of his books]]]].

** Wants to make sure that if someone needs to use a Waystone or some other one-use teleportation item that doesn't already have a set destination locked (such as a [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Scroll of Town Portal]]), the user should have their destination in the forefront of their mind and nothing else. She's had to deal with someone who got lost a few more times due to getting distracted. Miriam also takes great care to return any borrowed books and makes sure others do the same. Orlok Dracule's BonusBoss fight taught her the hard way, even though it did grant her the [[ColourCodedTimestop Standstill Shard]], as well as O.D.'s services.

** Despite no longer having to worry about corruption from their Shards, that doesn't mean certain parties (mostly from the Houses of Knowledge and Magic) won’t be interested in them, and may try to use them, or capture them for experiments. Most attempts from evil or insensitive people have usually ended with a plethora of demons from Gebel coming their way, and neither he nor Miriam are slouches by any measure in fending off personal attacks. That's not to say there aren't any benign interested parties who wish to learn about Shards, but most of them know better than to press the subject given how traumatic and disastrous their childhoods were. On a lighter note, [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Marisa Kirisame]] has been seen eyeing them whenever they're in battle, trying to learn to emulate their techniques for herself.

* Max Eisenhardt is a man whose life, philosophy, ethics, and motivations were shaped by the UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust and the tragedy that comes with being part of the opposed, hated, and devastated for circumstances out of his control. Once an innocent little boy, he was targeted by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany simply because of his Jewish Family and he ended up being the only survivor, mainly due to his developing latent superpowers in manipulating electromagnetism. Even after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, his misfortune wouldn't end; Max's attempt in starting a family of his own was cut short when his daughter was killed by oppressors and his wife fled from him, events that would form the basis of his cynical outlook on the world and from his kind, ''Homo superior'', better known as "mutants". Things would look up when he encountered a fellow mutant named Charles Xavier and the two became best friends, but their opposing means to achieve the goal of mutant acceptance and recognition caused Max to believe he and Xavier were never going to properly work together, not helped by their works being met with underwhelming results and unintended disdain from others. To that end, Max decided that mutants can never really coexist with humans peacefully and established his own order, the Brotherhood of Mutants, making sure that his organization consisted of like-minded mutants and supporters. From there, Max took on his infamous alias and moniker; ''Magneto, "Master of Magnetism"'' and sought to bring about mutant supremacy, honestly believing that it's for the best regarding his kind. While he would clash against Xavier's own organization, the X-Men on countless occasions due to their desire Xavier's desire for a more optimistic and hopeful outcome, Magneto never truly let go of his friendship with Professor X and has seen himself coming to an understanding on a number of occasions. Regardless of whether he's a villain to many, a hero to some, or a freedom fighter to few, Magneto remains determined and sees himself first and foremost as a survivor, fighting to never see the mutants go through what he went through as a child. ''Never Again''.
