Biography

an evil sign

Now in a laboratory, Nu was connected to several cords, including one large one in her eye, each injecting seithr into her body. Scientists meddled with constantly raised the levels during the process of this. Nu's body began to spasm as she came to life, and the scientists declared that their job was complete. They decided on the schedule for her to be delivered to Relius Clover, while discussing how she was made by both him and Sector Seven. However, they were interrupted in their discussions by Hazama, who claimed to have an order from the Imperator to pick Nu up personally.

Hazama asked to see the unit for himself, which the lead scientist agreed to. He took Hazama to the chamber she was contained in. He touched her and marvelled at their work, proclaiming that she truly was the thirteenth unit. However, after the scientist left, he began to mock Nu, demanding she wake up. Her eyelids began to flutter in response to his words.

Central Fiction

Cast into the Embryo, Nu’s memories were changed so that she believed it was 12/31/2199. She also became one of the chosen. She woke up in Kagutsuchi near the cauldron, being awoken by Noel. Despite being knocked to the floor, she continued her assault, only being stopped by Ragna. She lost to him, something she didn’t think possible, but instead of killing her, the Grim Reaper offered to save her, only being unable to as he was teleported away by Nine the Phantom. She was transported to Ikaruga and told by Nine to kill Izanami so she could claim her piece of the Azure and have her wishes come true. Relius had also ordered her to start hunting for the Nox Nyctores’ and began with the Arma Reboare: Muchourin, finding Platinum the Trinity but being able to keep track of her due to the latter’s fluctuating existence.

She later found Bang Shishigami, the wielder of the Phoenix: Rettenjou and began fighting him until she was interrupted by Nine. She fought back against both, insanely muttering that the Nox was hers and hers alone; despite this, Bang still managed to flee. While searching for the ninja, she was attacked by Arakune who wanted her Murakumo. She was saved by Relius, who conducted repairs on her, and she allowed it. Nu later followed Izanami into Nine’s workshop and nearly assaulted the witch had she not been stopped by Jubei. The two fought until the Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem froze the area in space-time.

When Nu awoke, she was still fighting Jubei, although this time above ground and near the Amaterasu Unit. Intent on destroying it, she fought Jubei and then eventually both Hakumen and Izayoi. She beat the both of them, only being stopped by Ragna, who she revealed to that she had absorbed the core of Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi. When defeated, Nu was knocked unconscious but was forced to awaken by Terumi who sent her insane and broke her soul. Nu lashed out, nearly killing Tsubaki, a blow that was defended by Hakumen – she fought the leader of the Six Heroes, being not only defeated, but knocked unconscious. She was watched over by Tsubaki and Jubei until all three of them dissolved into seithr.

The broken girl

In the new world created by Ragna, Nu was left in a catatonic state. She now lives bedridden inside a church with Noel and Lambda as her carers.

Library Entry

ν-No.13-

A young girl who appeared from the cauldron buried deep within Kagutsuchi.

She is one of the three sacred units, the Murakumo Unit. She is both the last Nox Nyctores, and the core of a Black Beast. Her actions and personality is machine-like and because of Saya’s soul, she shows emotion while in the proximity of Ragna.

She’s also a fragment of the Black Beast’s shell, which houses Ragna, and by fusing with him, they become the Black Beast that brought terror to the world. She’s also known as the 13th Prime Field Deice, or the Blade of Hades.

Although she fell into the cauldron once, she was revived as Lambda, after being retrieved by Kokonoe.

Now she roams as the Blade of Hades, in hopes that she might fuse with Ragna once more. All according to Hazama’s plan…

Fusing with Noel, Nu gains the power of the Successor to the Azure, bringing down the Amaterasu Unit to the realm of mortals.

Sword of Hades

Hazama refers to Nu by this name as she’s being smelted in her Cauldron, at the end of the story of ‘Continuum Shift.’
