'''Trinity Glassfille''' (トリニティ=グラスフィール), also known as '''Platinum the Trinity''' and the '''Platinum Alchemist''', was one of the [[Six Heroes]] and the former wielder of the [[Nox Nyctores]] - [[Arma Reboare: Muchourin]]. Trinity was the best friend of [[Nine the Phantom]] and a master of [[Alchemy]], later becoming sealed within her own Nox and sharing a body with [[Platinum the Trinity]]. <br />
<br />
Trinity first appeared in ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]'' through Platinum's body, and was later given a physical appearance of her own designed by [[Yuuki Kato]] in ''[[BlazBlue: Phase 0]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Trinity is a young girl with pale skin, shoulder-length blonde hair with pink streaks and bright green eyes hidden beneath a pair of large rimless glasses. She has a voluptuous figure hidden beneath her [[Mage's Guild]] uniform, which consists of a white shirt with golden rimming that fits tightly around her chest. Under her collar, Trinity wears a turquoise ribbon, and the sleeves of her uniform reach down to her wrists. Trinity also wears a black skirt, black tights, and black flat shoes. She is sometimes seen with her hair tied into two bunches with bright blue ribbons, but is known to wear her hair down.<br />
<br />
Usually, Trinity is seen with her signature cream coat which comes down to her ankles. She usually has the hood up over her head. The sleeves of the hood are long and come past her wrists, while each shoulder pad has a bell coming off it. Underneath her hood, Trinity is sometimes seen with a black Mage's Guild blazer.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Kind to a fault, Trinity only wishes for the best of everyone around her. She is forgiving, maternal, sweet, and caring for everyone, always taking time out of her schedule to listen to the concerns of others. There is no hidden agenda with Trinity, she is honest to a fault and hates lying to others or bringing them sadness.<br />
<br />
When pushed, Trinity can be stubborn and will sometimes stop people from doing certain activities only if she believes it is in their best interests. If angered, Trinity can be a force to be reckoned with and she is considered extremely terrifying by her friends when she's angry. Her wrath will usually manifest in lengthy lectures on how to be good to other people and to appreciate their friends, nature, and the world around them.<br />
<br />
Because she believes that everyone is willing to be their best self, Trinity's only real fault is giving people too many chances. She can be easy to manipulate because of how willing she is to try and help others. That said, Trinity will only give her best for everything, and is extremely reliable. She is consistently selfless and can be driven to tears out of her concern for others.<br />
<br />
Academically, Trinity excels as a master of [[sorcery]] and alchemy and was always seen as a model student in her classes. It is implied that she harbors romantic feelings for [[Kazuma Kval]] and would go to the ends of the Earth for his sake. These feelings persisted for nearly 100 years.<br />
<br />
==Powers and Abilities==<br />
Having spent most of her life enrolled in the Mage's Guild, Trinity is a hard worker and her aptitude in both sorcery and alchemy is a testament to this. While her alchemy has been mainly used in academic pursuits, her sorcery specializes in defense, being superior to even Nine in this area. While Trinity's abilities in these areas have not been explicitly shown, it is said that she is strong enough to become one of the [[Ten Sages]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 1 - Island of Green Wisdom''</ref><br />
<br />
As the first wielder of the Muchourin, Trinity is the most familiar with its abilities. She has not shown any mental deterioration from wielding it nor has she lost her memories from overusing it, which is one of the weapon's side effects. With Muchourin, Trinity can create any number of physical objects to barrage her opponents with. She is also capable of creating fully functioning bodies for others - this was best demonstrated when she created a weak body for Terumi, forcing his soul to reside in it.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 8: Bonds of Fate''</ref><br />
<br />
Trinity has the power to swap her [[soul]] between Nox Nyctores and can even maintain a visible spirit form, although she remains intangible. With the help of Muchourin's wielder, however, she can be granted a body for a brief duration that can let her act in the physical realm. Trinity also has the ability to possess others, notably [[Bell]] and the main body of Platinum. During this time, she has full access to that body's physical abilities, and this extends to the ability to move a person's soul between different bodies.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 096''</ref> The limits of Trinity's spiritual abilities are unknown.<br />
<br />
Even though she is one of the Six Heroes, Trinity has some noticeable weaknesses. Primarily, she is always ready to see the best in people, making her hesitant to hurt others, even Terumi. Trinity's offensive sorcery is not as strong as someone such as Nine, and her spirit form means she can do little to physically intervene in the world - it is likely that she can be cut down by [[Hihiirokane]].<br />
==Creation & Development==<br />
===''[[BlazBlue: Original Setting Material Collection - Genesis of the Azure Flame|Genesis of the Azure Flame]]'' Commentary===<br />
'''Mori:''' ''I couldn't come up with anything about Trinity, so I left everything to Kato without saying anything. Thus this well-endowed, bespectacled, flighty young lady was born; IT'S HERE! (KITAKORE) I thought.''<br />
<br />
'''Kato:''' ''Parts [of her] are almost bursting at the seams, and there's a feeling of being slightly off from first-rate, so it can be said that she won't become that popular under normal circumstances; a character that will hit it off among die-hards.''<ref>'' BlazBlue: Original Setting Material Collection - Genesis of the Azure Flame, page 37''</ref><br />

'''Jubei''' (獣兵衛), formerly known as '''Mitsuyoshi''' (ミツヨシ), and also known as the '''One-Eyed Lotus''' (双蓮の隻眼 ''Sōren no Sekigan'')<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction Consumer Edition Official Site (JP), Story - [http://www.blazblue.jp/cf/cs/story/ Jubei]''</ref>, is one of the [[Six Heroes]] who fought in the [[Dark War]] against the [[Black Beast]] and a cat-type [[Beastkin|beastkin]], being the progenitor of the [[Kaka]]. Jubei was the husband of [[Nine the Phantom]] and is the father of [[Kokonoe]]. He has taught [[Ragna the Bloodedge]], [[Jin Kisaragi]], and [[Platinum the Trinity]], also being the wielder of the [[Nox Nyctores]] - [[Mucro Somnio: Musashi]].<br />
<br />
Jubei was designed by [[Yuuki Kato]] as a non-playable character for ''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger''. On July 16, 2017, he was revealed as a new DLC character for ''BlazBlue: Central Fiction'' at the [[wikipedia:Evo_2017|Evo 2017]] championships. He was released in Japan and North America on August 31, 2017, and released in Europe on September 4.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Jubei Model Sheet 05.png|150px|thumb|left|Jubei's fur, attire, and sekkigan.]]<br />
Jubei is a two tailed, cat-type beastkin with black and white fur, amber eyes and a black mane, which is hidden under his hood.<br />
<br />
He wears a largely orange hoodie with black trimmings, reminiscent of those worn by the Kaka clan, with a brown belt strap that went over his right shoulder, which he uses to carry the Musashi. He also wears a belt-like eyepatch over his right eye. Underneath it is his late brother Tomonori's right eye, which was given to him by Rachel, years after he lost his original eye defending Bloodedge and Celica from a remnant of the Black Beast.<br />
<br />
During the time of the Dark War, Jubei wore a yellow hoodie which he kept open, a red forehead protector, a brown tunic held with a dark brown belt with silver kunai like tips hanging from it and a red collar with a gold buckle. While fighting the Black Beast, Jubei wore samurai-like armor, consisting of a black chestplate with a red neck guard, red and gold armored sleeves that reached down past his arms, which were fastened to the chestplate with red and gold trimmed straps and a black and red helmet with a prominent gold crest, which also had cat ears on it.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|He may be unrefined, but he upholds a generous code of ethics with dignity. Having obtained a place that reeks of humans more than humans do, he is easily swayed by emotions. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction Consumer Edition Official Site (JP), [http://www.blazblue.jp/cf/cs/character/jubei.php Jubei]''</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Jubei's feline appearance belies his true age as a beastkin who has lived for over a century. Having seen the world before the Dark War, during it, and after it, Jubei's outlook on life is unique, and he plays the part of a mentor who has helped guide those who come to him. This role has come naturally to him as he has taught Ragna and looked after him all throughout the man's adolescence; from fighting to cooking, Jubei has done his best to fill a parental role.<br />
<br />
Cheerful in a way befitting an old man, Jubei's jovial outlook on life is infectious, and he wants nothing more than peace for his friends and family. Although his speech is generally rough, his sense of humanity is better than most humans, and it does not take much to emotionally sway him. Regardless of his status as a legendary hero, Jubei has experienced prejudice and hatred because of his species, but that has not dulled the outlook he has. Jubei makes regular trips to [[Lost Town]] to visit the Kaka and spend time with them. Regardless of those he meets, Jubei treats them with the same warmth.<br />
<br />
His relationship with Nine is the most interesting. The two have a clear love for one another that blossomed during the Dark War, even though they have found themselves at opposite sides of a conflict more than once. Jubei clearly loves his wife regardless of any conflict and the constant teasing that she puts him through, making him blush at every opportunity. Unfortunately, Jubei and Kokonoe have an estranged relationship caused by Jubei's absence in her childhood, in turn caused by the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]] hunting him immediately following the Dark War. While Jubei wants to rekindle the relationship with his daughter, she was repulsed by the idea until recently.<Ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 092''</ref><br />
<br />
Despite all his warmth and jovial nature, Jubei is capable of hatred, which is primarily directed at [[Yuuki Terumi]]. Terumi took everything away from Jubei, having been responsible for the deaths of his clansmen, his brother, his homeland, his wife, his comrades, and an assassination attempt on his daughter. With Nine's resurrection, Jubei believed it his duty as her husband to be the one to fight her, having to put aside his feelings for what he felt was the greater good.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Even though he has the appearance of a mere house-cat, Jubei is one of the strongest creatures in the world. His physical strength is easily enough to block a punch from the muscular and towering [[Iron Tager]] with a single paw.<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Story Mode, Iron Tager - Blind Warrior''</ref> Jubei's weapon is the Nox Nyctores - Mucro Somnio: Musashi, which are twin swords that can cut through anything. Jubei wields them with his paws, tails, and mouth, using his dexterity to pass it to the different parts of his body and fight. Using Musashi, he can cut through even magnetic fields and [[sorcery]].<br />
<br />
Because of his beastkin heritage, Jubei has a long lifespan, and is already over 100 years old. He has a high resistance to [[seithr]] and has eyesight and hearing far beyond that of a human.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref> Underneath his eyepatch is the [[Sekkigan]], which allows him to see the true form of [[Yuuki Terumi]] and even materialize him. As well as all his natural abilities, Jubei is exceptionally fast, something which even shocks people like [[Hibiki Kohaku]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Arcade Mode, Hibiki Kohaku Victory Quote Vs Jubei, Act III''</ref> He is still not as quick as his brother, [[Tomonori]].<br />
<br />
In gameplay, Jubei's [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Shiranui}}'''; he launches himself quickly at the opponent, cutting them with his razor-sharp claws. Using his [[Distortion Drive]], the '''{{h|Immovable Object: Lotus}}''', Jubei acquires a new Drive, the '''{{h|Shiranui: Steel}}'''. This Drive allows him to move at breakneck speeds after placing a signet a short space in front of him. Other than his Drive, Jubei can also launch fire balls and counter his opponent's attacks with his own. Each of Jubei's claws, tails, and swords are at his disposable in a fight.<br />
<br />
Outside of his physical strength, Jubei has the mental strength to resist the ill effects of Musashi. He also became one of the [[chosen]] inside the [[Embryo]], and although he suffered from memory loss, was quick to see that the world was an illusion. Despite his rough words and accent giving the impression that he is not intelligent, Jubei has a keen intellect that has not dulled with age. He is also an exceptional teacher, having trained both Ragna and Jin, two of the strongest beings in the world. <br />
<br />
Yet for all his strengths and moniker of the strongest creature alive, age has crept up on Jubei. He is not as fast nor as powerful as he was during the Dark War, which was even stated by Hakumen himself, and his reliance on close-range combat gives him difficulty fighting foes at range. His injuries, which were inflicted by [[Nine the Phantom|Phantom's]] [[magic]] also permanently cripple him and weakened him further. Because Jubei is a beastkin, he struggles with the usage of [[Ars Magus]] even though he wields a Nox.<br />

Izanami had made her base of operations the [[Magister's City of Ishana]]. Relius, with Ignis by his side, was surprised to hear about her talk about fate as she reflected on the usefulness of [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]]. She complimented him on her vessel, also learning that Phantom was taking care of Take-Mikazuchi. As Relius left, Izanami was found by Terumi. She coldly greeted him and asked about the status of Tsubaki and Hakumen. His answers did not satisfy her as she believed he was taking the entire situation far too casually. Terumi then aggressively asked her about why she let Ragna escape in Kagutsuchi, and she coldly reminded him that she could kill with him even by exerting little effort.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Prologue''</ref><br />
<br />
With Phantom, Izanami came to the burned remains of [[Celica A. Mercury's Church]]. She interrupted Ragna and Rachel, who had been discussing how to deal with the Imperator herself. Izanami asked Ragna to become her servant, and in exchange would give him Terumi's head. When she was refused, she taunted him, pretending that Saya missed him. Ragna lunged for her, but Izanami effortlessly dodged – Phantom bound him and as the pair left, Izanami told the Grim Reaper that her offer would stand, and that he could visit her anytime he wished. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 1: Unexpected Encounters''</ref> <br />
<br />
When Tsubaki faced against Jin, Noel, and [[Makoto Nanaya]], Izanami took it upon herself to heavily set own conscious over Tsubaki's telling the group that they would meet their deaths. When Tsubaki thought she killed Jin, however, the spell was broken and Izanami's grip over the girl was released.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 14: Inherited Will''</ref> She later witnessed Rachel sending Ragna back in time to the Dark War, calling her heavy intervention a foolish act. She then ordered Phantom to destroy Takamagahara.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 16: Kushinada's Lynchpin''</ref><br />
<br />
Izanami and Phantom went into the Yabiko branch, assaulting Jin, Kagura, [[Hibiki Kohaku]] and [[Homura Amanohokosaka]]. She taunted them and then publicly relinquished her position as Imperator to Homura, announcing the event to the entire world. The Goddess of death then attacked Kagura again and again, severely damaging him before teleporting away. She was attacked by [[Jubei]], but Izanami decided that Phantom was better suited to that task, unleashing her true form as Nine. The former Imperator then summoned the [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]] from its orbit, planning to have it destroy everything. Unfortunately, its movements were delayed by [[Celica A. Mercury]] and her ability to nullify seithr. Izanami, wielding Take-Mikazuchi, then battled against Jin and then Noel.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 17: Doomsday''</ref><br />
<br />
After the battle, Izanami saw that the flow of seithr had stopped as the Lynchpin was activated by [[Bang Shishigami]]. She leant her power to Take-Mikazuchi to allow it to fight and assisted it in battle against Ragna. Despite this, it was still defeated, but Izanami was not. She averted Hakumen's Time Killer and had Phantom return to her side; she then turned her attention to Ragna and forced his Azure Grimoire to go berserk.<br />
Before she was finished, Izanami took to the sky and condensed Take-Mikazuchi's remains, creating an [[Embryo]]. She attempted to attack the Amaterasu Unit, but Rachel and the Tsukuyomi Unit blocked her assault. Izanami promised Rachel that she would give the vampire death, and was met with a retort – that she would be given life.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Episode 18: Beginning of the End''</ref><br />

Some time later, both Izanami and Phantom accidentally teleported to the church again, only this time they found [[Celica A. Mercury]] herself standing there. Perplexed, Izanami commanded that Phantom teleport them away, something she did after gazing at her little sister. When she returned to Ishana, she jumped into its cauldron activate Takamagahara.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 3: The Melancholy of Celica''</ref><br />

'''Naoto''': ''Saya! No, wait... Izanami, was it?''<br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''...You. You were not the one I sought, but... perhaps the soul guides one in mysterious ways. But then why DOES my soul crave you... What are you to me?''<br />
<br />
'''Naoto''': ''I'd like to ask you the same thing. What the hell ARE you? Or... who?''<br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''I desire to know that myself. Yes... foreigner. Why not show me your drive, too. Your soul was born in a world different from this... What magnificent drive will you show me!?''<br />
<br />
<Izanami Victory><br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''Bloodedge. How bizarre... You were born in different worlds yet possess the same drive... Is it the soul that produces the drive...? Or does the drive mold the soul?''<br />
<br />
'''Naoto''': ''Enough of your mumbling, dammit! No matter how many times I look at you, you remind me of Saya. Shit...shit! What's going on here!? I need you to stick around... My questions need answering...! ...Guah!''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''I come to see how you were doing, and here you are wasting time with a foreign object.''<br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''Relius. You've come all this way to call for me? How laudable.''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''You've overexerted yourself and consumed too much power... I fear it would be inconvenient for me to lose this vessel now. Let me Observe...''<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Relius''': ''That body has the ability to amplify seithr almost indefinitely. Which makes it perfect for the Imperator, and is suited to be the foundation of my PFDs. Nevertheless, it is still only human... Reinforce it though as it will one day crumble.''<br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''Relius... What is a "soul?"''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''Oh...? Your only purpose now is to wither with this world, and you show an interest in soul...? Now this, I did not expect.''<br />
<br />
'''Izanami''': ''I have become curious... If you believe one's soul's value is best represented through strife, then I first ask for one such stage. Relius Clover.''<br />

'''Izanami''': '' Nothing... Anger, disappointment, pleasure... I feel nothing. Relius. What am I? I was told I am the "drive" of the Master Unit... To that statement, I have no objection. But if a soul's shape is what defines one's existence, then... what does that make me? If I am in fact the drive of the Master Unit, and a drive is the manifestation of a soul... Then that makes me...what?''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''You question your reason of existence. The rabbit hole continues to go deeper. First No. 13 and now the Imperator... Oh, how "you" fascinate me so. Heh heh heh.''<br />

You say you feel nothing, but I've Observed it... Desire. An emotion so great, most humans are driven by the pursuit of its fulfillment.''<br />

Before the Doomsday began, Izanami went to the Amaterasu Unit, and opened it up, showing that inside, there was no one. She soon summoned Noel and Rachel to her location to force Noel to Observe where she had placed Ragna – inside the Embryo. She then journeyed into the Embryo herself. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 001, Chapter 001 – 006''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 33(B).png|thumb|left|Maintaining the vessel]]Inside, she bathed in one of the Prime Field coffins, asking Relius about the vessel she was possessing. She dressed herself and travelled to Ikaruga, realising that Nine had set the chosen against her, <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 035''</ref> and later watched as Relius and Ragna fought in Akitsu, being interrupted by [[Azrael]] and fighting him. He grew bored however since there is no life emanating from her, and the two formed a pact – should Azrael defeat all the chosen, Izanami would grant him access to the world of the Gods where he could fight them for all eternity. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 048, Sub Scenario 1''</ref><br />
<br />
Witnessing Azrael fighting against Ragna, she summoned the latter to her location next to the Amaterasu Unit. They fought, every moment with her mocking him with Saya's voice. Noticing that his strikes were filled with unwillingness to hurt his sister's body, Izanami rammed herself into his sword, telling him that she cannot die as Amaterasu's Drive. Amaterasu intervened and used phenomenon intervention to send Ragna away from her location. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 058''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 68(D).png|thumb|right|Ragna and Noel find a way to defeat “death”]]Izanami infiltrated Nine's workshop, finding her defeated by Ragna. She offered death to Kokonoe, Celica, Jubei, Ragna, Jin, Nine, and Rachel before being stopped by one of Nine's strongest fields. Nu followed after her master, attacking the witch but being stopped by Jubei. Izanami remained inside the workshop as time froze over, watching Nine die. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref> She broke the space-time, transferring the Requiem to a different location and issuing an illusionary message to Ragna, Noel, Kagura, Jin, Hakumen, Tsubaki, and [[Ex Machina: Minerva]], warning them all that if they could not find her in three hours, they would all perish in Requiem's explosion. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 090''</ref> Eventually, Ragna and Mu found her, and she was absorbed by the latter despite being up a resilient fight. Izanami, from that point on, no longer existed, having merged together with Noel's soul. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 091''</ref><br />

Shuichiro and Konoe's relationship never healed. She was enrolled into the same class as [[Kazuma Kval]] and [[Trinity Glassfille]] and begun researching how to combine magic and science. Konoe and Trinity became best friends. In 2100, she learned that the [[Black Beast]] had emerged from Japan, and that her father was the one being blamed by various organizations for its appearance; she did not know whether Shuichiro was dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_05.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Celebration]]<br />
Having excelled in her studies and contributions towards the Ishanan community and to sorcery, Konoe was chosen for the honor of becoming one of the Ten Sages, although she believed Trinity was more deserving. In a cold January morning in 2107, Konoe entered the Cathedral in the center of Ishana and was initiated into the Sages through the [[Canonization Ceremony]]. She took on her new name - Nine, and left for the courtyard outside of the building. Celica and Trinity ran up to greet and congratulate her on the position. Nine hugged Celica and promised that nothing had really changed, and the three of them decided to have lunch together to celebrate.<br />
<br />
In the cafeteria, the group found Kazuma and they ate with him. Nine threw several cold remarks towards him, not acknowledging his existence. Celica began to warm up to Kazuma, so Nine dragged her away from the table and began to tell her to not get involved with him. The two of them bickered until a nearby television began to blare its news - a Japanese survivor had been found. The two sisters were dumbfounded and rendered speechless. As Kazuma fell ill, Nine left.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 1 - Island of Green Wisdom''</ref><br />
<br />
Later that evening, Nine sensed an unusual force in downtown Ishana and ran to the location with Trinity and Celica trailing behind her. They found Kazuma next to an alley which had its ground mostly destroyed. She demanded an explanation from the boy, learning that the culprit that attacked him was a [[beastkin]]. They escorted Kazuma back to his dorm.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 2 - Cat of Crimson Sunset''</ref> Three days later, Nine again felt an unusual force, and told Trinity to investigate.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 3 - Mind of Azure Deviation''</ref><br />
<br />
Trinity invited Nine, Celica, and Kazuma to the girl's favourite cafe. There, Nine ordered coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. She poured a pitcher of milk, gomme syrup, and multiple sugar cubes into her cup until its consistency had changed into something completely different. Nine began to interrogate Celica over her grades, but then changed her gaze to Kazuma, and asked why he had spent so much time in Ishana's [[Great Library]]. The boy brought up her relation to Shuichiro, and she retorted that she was not related to the man, which only caused another argument between her and Celica. They both punched the table in anger, making Trinity's teacup fall onto her, emptying its contents. They both apologized as the girl lost her anger and chastized them both. Suddenly, Kazuma left.<br />
<br />
Trinity and Nine chased after the boy, finding him near the water's edge of Ishana. Nine interrogated him, asking what he was doing and mockingly asked if he was trying to escape, but was told that he was trying to find an acquaintance. She walked past Kazuma and saw a hole in Ishana's magical barrier - she asked him if it was the work of his "acquaintance". She left after carefully assessing his posture and returned back to the Guild to discuss the matter with other Ten Sages.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 4 - Doubt of Yellow Equilibrium''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_11.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Interrogation]]<br />
In the following morning, Nine found a letter from Celica, and its contents detailed that she had escaped from Ishana to go to Japan in an attempt to find Shuichiro. Taking Trinity, she bolted to the boys dormitory and banged on Kazuma's door, screaming that she would burn it down if he didn't respond. As the door opened, Nine ran in and grabbed the boy by his collar, holding him up against the window. She screamed at him to tell her where Celica had gone and what he had done to her, but the boy answered that he did not know. Trinity convinced Nine to let him go.<br />
<br />
Deducing that Kazuma was responsible for giving Celia the idea to search for Shuichiro, Nine pinned Kazuma to the ground with her high heels as he talked back to her. Nine was ready to kill him, but was forced to relent as a message for the Ten Sages came in the form of conveying sorcery. Nine let him be, and attended to her duties. At the Cathedral, Nine listened as [[Three]] tried to make sense as to why so much seithr had suddenly appeared in Ishana. Nine bit her tongue, knowing that the reason why was because Celica was no longer on the island, and the tear in the barrier was only making it worse. She organized the Sages and was put in charge of eliminating the seithr in Ishana while others repaired the barrier. <br />
<br />
Nine learned that Trinity had been injured, and ran to her dorm after completing the seithr eradication. She talked with Trinity over the restoration of the barrier, winking at her and telling Trinity to not underestimate the Ten Sages. Nine had also learned that Kazuma had entered the Cathedral but had disappeared.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 6 - Voice of Emerald Evil''</ref><br />
<br />
Celica's escape from Ishana weighed heavily on Nine's mind. Together with Trinity, Nine left Ishana and tracked Celica to Kantō, Japan. There on a rocky trail, she finally found Celica, but she was with a young man with a red jacket. Getting the wrong impression, Nine attacked the man with her sorcery. Taking Celica to the side, Nine began to berate her for being with a strange man, turning to give him a fierce look. The argument between Nine and Celica eventually turned away from the odd man and onto Celica's search for their father. Nine was told by Celica and the odd man, who she learned is [[Ragna the Bloodedge]], that they were destined for the [[First District]] because that is where they believed Shuichiro would be. Reluctantly, she and Trinity decided to travel with them both, at least to keep Celica safe.<br />
<br />
When the group arrived at the District, Nine took an interest at the dusty runes that decorated the building, noting that it had been created with a combination of science and magic, something she had spent time researching. They eventually discovered an elevator that would allow them access to the floors below; the group used it, but the wires snapped and Ragna was sent hurtling into the abyss after saving Celica from the fall. The remaining women journeyed below on foot to find him, but were met by a knight in white armor. Nine and this knight were at a standstill until he left, remarking that he would not slay fragile humans. After searching a little longer in the area, they found Ragna, who told them the knight's name - [[Hakumen]]. After searching for a short while, they found a hidden door near a [[cauldron]].<Ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_0_Novel_Illustration_11.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Battle for Kushinada]]<br />
Nine disabled the locks to the doors using electric sorcery and the group found a solitary room with a large lynchpin in its center. Nine quickly scanned the numerous research papers across desks, finding it to be in her father's handwriting. She continued reading, discovering that the lynchpin is called [[Kushinada's Lynchpin]] and that it had the power to stop the Black Beast at a cost - the [[soul]] of someone with exceptional control over life - Celica. Disgusted, she threw the papers onto the ground, stomping onto them with all her might until Celica begged her to stop. Out of the corner of the lab came Shuichiro himself. Nine screamed at Celica to get away from him. The scientist clawed at his youngest daughter until Nine threw him against a nearby wall with a powerful shockwave. Moments later, Shuichiro died - it is unknown if either [[seithr]] poisoning or Nine's attack was the cause of his death.<br />
<br />
Staying silent as Celica cried over Shuichiro's death, Nine launched a bolt of sorcery at the Lynchpin, but the moment was interrupted by [[Mitsuyoshi]], who had overheard the events that had just transpired. Nine and the beastkin stood on opposite ends of the conflict - the witch wanted to avoid using the Lynchpin while the beastkin believed it was the only way to end the war. The two began to battle, with Nine using a myriad of spells to keep Mitsuyoshi at bay until he closed the distance. Unleashing electricity from her body, she was able to push Mitsuyoshi away from her, and the two complimented one another's abilities before continuing to clash. Celica finally interrupted the fight by standing between the combatants; the battle stopped, and Nine and Mitsuyoshi lowered their stances as Trinity helped ease the situation.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_0_Novel_Illustration_12.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"''Watch out for the guy named Yuuki Terumi''"]]<br />
Nine, with Celica and Mitsuyoshi, had tea brewed by Trinity. She listened to Celica's speech as she told them her determination to save the people she loves. She was unhappy with Celica's decision, but couldn't bring herself to find the words to interrupt until it finally became too much and she lamented at her sister's choice. Nine was drowning in sorrow as she was unable to stop Celica's resolve, but it was thanks to Ragna that her sister's decision was nullified. Both Nine and Ragna left the room, and she thanked the Grim Reaper for stopping her sister's decision. Ragna gave her three points: that the Black Beast was going to stop for one year; that she had to gather humanity; and to watch out for a man called [[Yuuki Terumi]]. Their conversation was ended as Nine sensed something approaching - the Black Beast.<br />
<br />
Celica, Trinity, and Nine had decided to evacuate the area, knowing that they could not stand a chance of victory. Nine chanted and focused her mind on a distant location, preparing to use teleportation. Both Ragna and Mitsuyoshi chose to stay behind to buy the women some time to escape. The trio escaped, and found themselves in the [[Alucard Castle]] some time later. Nine became familiar here with [[Rachel Alucard]] and [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]], and learned that the previous head of the family, [[Clavis Alucard]] had just died. Mitsuyoshi eventually arrived at the Castle and revealed that Ragna had been swallowed by the Beast.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 6 - Promised Azure''</ref><br />
<br />
With Mitsuyoshi and Valkenhayn, Nine entered the depths of the Alucard Castle. Venturing deep within and unsealing each magical barrier erected by Clavis, Nine found Terumi, the possessor of Kazuma's body and who Ragna had warned her about earlier. She was shocked and disgusted when she saw that the body was Kazuma's. She kicked him to the floor and used [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]] on him, turning the man into her slave. The group then left the prison.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Prologue''</ref><br />
<br />
In the months following the events in the First District, Nine had feverishly begun on the development of Ars Magus, working tirelessly and even teaching it to some of humanity. At some point she built the foundations of [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]], but stopped after realising its incredible power. Fellow Sages, [[Seven]] and [[Eight]] continued building it against her wishes, however, leading to conflict between them. Nine had also assembled a team of six warriors, including herself. These warriors included: Hakumen, Mitsuyoshi (who had changed his name to Jubei), Trinity, Valkenhayn, and Terumi. Jubei and Nine also began a relationship around this time period, and Nine begun development on the [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]], an automaton that could protect Celica while she was busy working.<br />
<br />
In August, eight months after the events in the First District, the six warriors, who would later be known as the [[Six Heroes]], listened to Trinity talk about the growing tensions between representatives of each nation. She had no interest in their politics, instead talking about the difficulty she was having with Ars Magus and humanity's ability to handle seithr. Nine had created two weapons with a combination of alchemy and sorcery which she had given to Trinity and Jubei. Terumi attempted to mock her, but Nine told him to be quiet, something he had to obey thanks to Mind Eater. The meeting was cut short when they noticed Hakumen had slipped out of it.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 1 - White Blade, A Flower''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 05.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Flirtatious teasing]]<br />
Together with the others, Nine found Hakumen with Celica. She hugged her younger sister, but spoke down to Hakumen, reminding him that he had to be part of their meetings since he held the power needed to truly deal damage to the Black Beast. Celica apologised, stating that she was the reason for his absence, but was interrupted by Terumi. Nine directed a cold stare at the man, leagues different from what she had directed at Hakumen earlier. She commanded him to be silent, and was interested in Trinity's suggestion that they have tea together. Although not interested in tea with the others, Nine flirted with Jubei, easily embarrassing him; they were found by Seven and Eight, who expressed discomfort at Nine bringing strangers into the Mage's Guild.<br />
<br />
The group dispersed, with only Nine and Celica remaining in the Guild's courtyard with the two other Sages. Nine's cold rebuttals towards Eight's snarky comments managed to rile up the Sage until Seven diffused the situation. They both asked for Celica's assistance in their research, which Nine knew involved Take-Mikazuchi. She told them both that she would not allow Celica to be involved, shooting them a glare that made them both wince. Further cementing her resolve, Nine commanded that they stop their development on the weapon. The older sister dragged Celica away from her fellow Sages, not wanting to hear more of the discussion. As they walked away, Nine told Celica that the weapon they were attempting to finish was a failure, and that she would definitely protect her younger sister.<br />
<br />
Both Nine and Celica found the cafe that Jubei and Trinity were in. They sat down, and Nine immediately began to tease her boyfriend over his green tea, poking his fur and teasing him over the fact that he cannot drink the tea hot. She then ordered a coffee and as much gum syrup as possible before subjecting her beverage to a barrage of sugar. Terumi then entered the cafe, souring the group's mood - Nine asked him where he had been, finding satisfaction in his answer. Celica accidentally pulled at Jubei's tales, making him flip the table and sending Nine's coffee all over Trinity. Both sisters stood up and began apologizing as fast as possible; Nine pulled Jubei into their ritual, warning him of the consequences if he didn't.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 2 - Purple Ones, Their Theory''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 06.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Nirvana's assignment]]<br />
As they left the cafe, Nine asked Celica if she had hurt herself when the table flipped, and she innocently showed her sister her thighs. Nine slapped her sister's hand away and began to lecture her about lecherous men. Terumi muttered a comment on Nine indulging in too many fantasies and she kicked him as hard as she possibly could, making the man crumple to the ground. Jubei bid them goodbye, and Nine asked Celica to come with her to the workshop, hinting at a present for her. When they arrived, Nine directed her to a corner of the workshop, showing the [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]]. Nine revealed that Nirvana was built to protect Celica. The younger sister questioned about having a bodyguard so Nine reminded her that she ran away from Ishana and caused a great deal of trouble for everyone. Shortly afterwards, Nine chanted a spell to make Nirvana recognise Celica as the target she must protect. As Celica bounded away upstairs to prepare dinner with her new guardian, Nine opened up a hidden section in her workshop, revealing Kushinada's Lynchpin behind it. She lamented over having to use the power of the Lynchpin.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 3 - Scarlet Guardian, the Doll''</ref><br />
<br />
Together with the other Six Heroes, Nine formulated a plan to launch a sneak attack on the Black Beast as soon as it awoke from its slumber. They knew it would come from one of the cauldrons in Eastern Europe although were unsure were exactly which one it would come from. Nine insisted that Celica be present in the meeting since she was wary of Seven and Eight's plans for her. The witch asked Valkenhayn if they could rely on Rachel to teleport their units across the battlefield, but the vampire herself appeared to deny the request. Nine furrowed her brow and asked if the fate of humanity was just a game to the girl, unaware that Rachel herself could not intervene even if she wanted to. They learned from Rachel, however, that the Beast was likely to appear wherever Celica would be.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 4 - Indigo Heart, the Conception''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 09.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Take-Mikazuchi's aftermath]]<br />
Celica insisted that she act as a decoy, and Nine, although angry, eventually gave into the idea so long as Nirvana and Hakumen were guarding her. The heroes arrived in Eastern Europe with Ars Magus battalions gathered from across the world. Nine surveyed her surroundings - a barren desert with no vegetation nor water for miles - and was given reassurance from Trinity that Celica would be okay. Given command over the Ars Magus unit that were made from the best aptitude candidates in the world, Nine turned to the battlefield. When the Black Beast finally appeared, she lost her breath.<br />
<br />
Hakumen was knocked away by the Beast and both Nine and her battalion covered him with lightning strikes. She saw an unusual circle appear near Celica and teleported back to headquarters, finding Trinity and amplified her vision, finding both Seven and Eight beside the girl and summoning the Take-Mikazuchi. She watched as Take-Mikazuchi forced the Beast to retreat from the raw power it demonstrated, but that was none of her concern, all Nine cared about was Celica. Running to the top of the hill where Celica lay unconscious, Nine found her in Nirvana's arms. She carried her sister as the other Six Heroes came to her side. Still in shock, Nine explained that it was a [[Nox Nyctores]], something that she had created.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 5 - Black Beast, Reappears''</ref><br />
<br />
At the end of the Dark War, Nine and Jubei helped Celica build a [[Celica A. Mercury's Church|church]] over the remains of the final battle with the Black Beast. There, they revealed that they wanted to get married at the church, and the three of them sat down with tea to discuss the wedding together, happily drinking tea gifted by Trinity.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Epilogue''</ref><br />
<br />
==Variable Heart==<br />
Alongside [[Hazama]], Nine watched as [[Meifang Lapislazuli]] fought against [[Mai Natsume]] and [[Jin Kisaragi]] near the cauldron in the [[11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu]]. She saw the event through, watching as Meifang, even with her army of [[Fuzzy]], lost against the duo. With the Colonel's failed attempt to turn herself into a Nox Nyctores, Nine left with the unsatisfied Hazama.<ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 18''</ref><br />

Phantom was given the objective of dealing with Take-Mikazuchi by Izanami. She joined the Imperator as they went to the burned remains of Celica's church. Both Ragna and Rachel were there, and she pinned the vampire to the ground using [[Gravity Seed]]. When Ragna lunged at Izanami, Phantom bound him, restricting his movement. Both Phantom and the Imperator teleported away on Izanami's command. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 1: Unexpected Encounters''</ref><br />
<br />
Hazama later commanded Phantom to teleport Ragna and Hakumen to different locations, and she sent Ragna to battle against [[Nu-13]]. This event was undone by Izanami's Phenomenon Intervention, but Ragna's injuries from the battle persisted.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 7: Ragna, The Wanderer''</ref> She later teleported Terumi away from the [[Colosseum]], seeing Kokonoe and Celica – she stopped for a second, looking at them both before teleporting herself and Terumi back to Ishana.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 15: The Truth''</ref> Under Izanami's orders, Phantom destroyed Takamagahara.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 16: Kushinada's Lynchpin''</ref> Later on, Phantom and Izanami took themselves to the NOL branch in Yabiko, pinning down [[Kagura Mutsuki]], [[Jin Kisaragi]], [[Hibiki Kohaku]], and [[Homura Amanohokosaka]]. Phantom watched as Izanami abdicated her position as the Imperator.<br />
<br />
Phantom teleported Izanami away and witnessed Take-Mikazuchi being pulled from orbit back onto the planet. Jubei attempted to attack the former Imperator but Phantom's restraints were released by Izanami and she was allowed free reign to attack her husband. The husband and wife battled, but the victor is unknown.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 17: Doomsday''</ref> As Phantom, she returned to Izanami's side afterward and teleported Hakumen to an unknown location. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Episode 18: Beginning of the End''</ref><br />

Phantom appeared to save Terumi from Hakumen and Jubei. Before she left, she stared at Celica, but left when Hakumen went to attack her. She later trapped Hakumen and Platinum in Barrier: Infinite Corridor and created a shadow of Hazama with her pure hatred for him and Terumi. When Hakumen and Trinity broke the spell, they found Phantom staring straight at them, her shadowy figure alone in front of an NOL building. The two of them revealed her true form as Nine, but she was burning with the aura of murderous intent.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 8: Bonds of Fate''</ref><br />

She absolved to finally bring about her new world and to stop Izanami at all costs. In there, she found [[Carl Clover]] and began mocking him over his father. She told him that Relius was partially responsible for the beginning of the Dark War <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 021, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She began using the Phantom Field as a base of operations, specifically [[Purgatorium]]. At some point, she created multiple illusions to taunt Hakumen over the Dark War <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 027, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> Eventually, she summoned Ragna, and the two battled. She won, and told him to defeat Izanami as she had to the chosen, and used phenomenon intervention to send him back to Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 034''</ref><br />
<br />
Using phenomenon intervention, she teleported all the chosen to the Embryo's version of Ikaruga and emitted a voice telling them to defeat Izanami and claim their piece of the Azure. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 005, Chapter 036''</ref> She found Relius, and they talked about the Nox's and how to remove the [[Tsukuyomi Unit]] from guarding Amaterasu. Nine claimed that by retrieving the other Nox's, she can remove their cores and make Take-Mikazuchi even more powerful than before. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 039, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She later found [[Nu-13]] attempting to retrieve the [[Phoenix: Rettenjo|Rettenjo]] from [[Bang Shishigami]] and interrupted their fight, making it a three-way battle. Unfortunately for her, Bang managed to flee with his Nox and its core. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 050, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She used the Requiem to constantly move Ragna through possibilities.<br />
<br />
Later, Nine found a group consisting of Jubei, [[Iron Tager]], Kokonoe, Jin, Ragna, Celica, Rachel, and Trinity entering her workshop. She fought Jubei, who was standing guard, defeated him, and threw him into the group. She explained that she was going to end the world, with Requiem becoming its replacement God. She told the group of the Dark War, and during its aftermath, how it should have been impossible to create Ars Magus in such a short space of time. She then told them of the [[Prime Field War]] and how the world as they know it came to exist before finally fighting Ragna – the battle was going her way for a great portion of it, but Nine was distracted by looking at Celica, which bought the Grim Reaper enough time to gravely wound her and steal her dream. Jubei and Celica rushed to her side, and she promised them that she would meet them in the afterlife. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 56(B).png|thumb|right|Nine passes away with a smile]]Izanami came to her workshop, making Nine use the [[Radiance of Extinguishment]], allowing her to both activate Requiem and bind Izanami. Nu entered, and was stopped by Jubei, who rushed to her side to protect his wife. Nine gave Ragna a warning that they would have one week until the space-time around the workshop would return to normal. She died, dissolving into seithr – her last moments spent being happy that Jubei could protect her one last time. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref><br />

'''Nine the Phantom''' (ナイン=ザ=ファントム), born '''Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury''' (ノエ=アヤツキ=マーキュリー) and historically known as the '''Great Magister Nine''', was one of the [[Six Heroes]], the creator of [[Ars Magus]], the [[Nox Nyctores]] and a hailed figure across the world. She was the older sister of [[Celica A. Mercury]], wife to [[Jubei]] and mother of [[Kokonoe]]. Nine was known for her incredible talent with both [[magic]] and [[sorcery]] which she used in great efforts to keep her family safe.<br />
<br />
Nine, as '''"Me"''' ("わたし"), is one of the main protagonists of ''[[XBlaze Lost: Memories]]'' and first appeared as '''Phantom''' (ファントム) in ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]''. Nine was finally made playable in ''[[BlazBlue: Central Fiction]]'' where she is the final boss of Arcade's Act I.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Nine is a woman with a voluptuous figure, yellow eyes, and long vibrant pink hair that covers her left eye. As a child her hair was in a side ponytail and as Nine the Phantom her sclera turns black.<br />
<br />
As a child Nine wore a white button up shirt with purple cuffs along with a purple vest dress with gold accents and two black braces that hung from the bottom. Along with this uniform she wore brown tights and purple shoes. As Konoe she wore a big purple witch hat and a [[Mage's Guild]] uniform while during the Dark War she wore a white button up sleeveless top with a purple tie, a black coat which was loosened at the shoulders and had one green strap on each sleeve, and black and gold stockings with black high heels. As Phantom she wore a high collar purple cloak with a red zig-zag pattern, a white to red gradient scarf, and a new designed purple witch hat that concealed any immediately recognizable feature of her. Finally as Nine the Phantom she wore a witch hat similar to that of Phantom's but with a magenta accented slit in it, a purple, magenta, and pink dress with detatched sleeves, a purple cloak with red on the inner side, black tights, and black heels. Also her fingers are longer and her nails have become sharper.<br />

==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Harboring burning fury at the knowledge of the truth of the world and using that power to end the world, she is the owner of a fearsome will and stormy temper. With her exceptional intellect and magical power, she created the "Nox Nyctores" and "Ars Magus." She dotes upon her younger sister Celica, and won't forgive anyone who would harm her.<ref name="bbcf-nine-personality-jp"/>}}<br />
<br />
Belligerent, openly hostile to anyone except those closest to her. Nine is an openly rebellious woman who defies authority while expecting others to recognize hers. Her temper is always on the verge of exploding, and she is ready to let anyone know her feelings, unable to hide her explosive rage and sharp tongue. Nine has a habit of letting others know her superiority, and she openly demonstrates her power without thinking of the consequences.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her temper, Nine has a mind sharper than many would initially believe. She is a thorough academic who has dedicated her life to sorcery, magic, Ars Magus, alchemy, and the creation of the Nox Nyctores'. Few can match both her intellect and cunning, and she is a revolutionary scientist whose discoveries, theories, and techniques have had a permanent change on the world. As a child, Nine was already considered a genius. She demonstrated a lot of patience and kindness towards [[Nobody]] and [[Es]], going far out of her way to make their lives better even though they had not known each other for long.<br />
<br />
Nine was unusually cruel to [[Kazuma Kval]] and judges people based on her initial perception of them. Although she has a good intuition of people, Nine does not readily change her opinion of anyone. Celica is one of the most important people in Nine's life, and she dotes on her young sister whenever she can. Nine will defy everyone and everything for those she loves, although for Celica, she will defy even her own daughter. She does not appreciate men approaching her little sister, thinking that they would manipulate her, and Nine has to keep a constant eye over Celica to make sure she is not in danger. Nine's relationship with her father, [[Shuichiro Ayatsuki]], is strained - she hates him, blaming him for the death of her [[Mother]], and knew even from a young age that he had plans for Celica in his experiments. Hatred does little to describe how intense her feelings towards him are. <br />
<br />
Outside of her family Nine also deeply cares for one more individual - [[Trinity Glassfille]], her best friend. Trinity is perhaps the only person that Nine will ever listen to, and at times, will even concede her own will to Trinity's. Throughout their friendship, Nine and Trinity have protected one another, but in recent years, this friendship has ended because of Nine's willingness to burn down the world for her family.<br />
<br />
Nine feels as if the world is wrong because of the [[Amaterasu Unit]] and [[The Origin]] resetting time. Everything that Nine and her comrades fought for in the [[Dark War]] means nothing because it will all be reset. Upon learning this truth, she went so far as to begin creating a replacement "God". Knowing that Celica would meet her fate at the hands of [[Yuuki Terumi]], her father unleashing the [[Black Beast]], and the suffering of her family and humanity would all be repeated for eternity sent Nine on her mission to destroy The Origin and create a new world. Although her methods were questionable, Nine was ultimately trying to save the world once more, even though her true reasons were to save Celica, and she did not care much for the rest of humanity.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Arguably not just one of the most powerful witches of her time, but one of the strongest sorcerers in history. Nine's sorcery is as aggressive as her personality as she focuses on delivering powerful spells with little casting time. Her arsenal of spells is vast, only being limited by her imagination. Nine furthermore has a unique yet deadly ability which she has no control over: she attracts [[seithr]]. This ability is only suppressed by her imitation of the [[Origin of the Grimoire]] which is her left eye, and absorbs the seithr around her. <br />
<br />
In combat, Nine is able to rapidly deploy spells with casting time so tiny it almost seems like an instinctive reflex. She can fire a ball of light that explodes into a rain of bullets or fire gusts of wind so powerful that they can rend bone. If an opponent comes too close, Nine can generate lightning around her body to prevent them from coming closer.<ref>'' BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref> Teleportation is one of Nine's signature abilities although she initially struggled with using it at first, eventually mastering it over time and being able to teleport herself and others great distances. One of her other spells allows her to heighten her senses to the levels of [[beastkin]], giving her excellent hearing and vision which far surpasses most humans. Although she seldom fights physically, Nine has enough strength to break doors with single kicks and lift fully grown men by their collars.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 5 - Night of Black Betrayal''</ref><br />
<br />
Mastery over many spells is not just Nine's only strength in sorcery. She is keenly aware of its application in combat and outside of it. Freezing her opponent's legs<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref>, ricocheting spells off multiple surfaces to meet a target, and even using electricity to fry circuits in electric locks. <br />
<br />
Although famously known for her belligerent sorcery, Nine is also an extremely capable scientist who created [[Ars Magus]], [[Ars Armegis]], and the [[Nox Nyctores]] class weapons. She was on the verge of creating the [[Burning Red Grimoire]] which would have allowed humanity access to sorcery, but it was never completed in her lifetime. Alongside her gifts with sorcery and science, Nine was accomplished with [[alchemy]] and [[magic]], both being required for her recognition into the Ten Sages. The only [[Art]] which Nine is stated to have no mastery over is a [[Drive]]. This is reflected in gameplay where her Drive is '''{{h|The Abyss Diver}}''' but is not a reflection of her soul, instead being another way for her to cast numerous spells. In gameplay her spell arsenal gives her the most options of any playable character. Her spells here include summoning water, fire, and wind at basic levels, but her advanced spells include gravity manipulation, creating balls of electricity, creating reflecting mirrors, and summoning large tree roots to name only a few.<br />
<br />
Nine's willpower has allowed her to endure the agonizing nature of the [[Boundary]] and still retain her sanity. On top of her myriad of offensive spells, Nine is capable of others such as the [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]], giving her complete control over a person's free will, something she used in great effect over [[Yuuki Terumi]] in the Dark War. She also has a contract with a demonic being called [[Hino Kagutsuchi]] which is seemingly under her complete dominion. Kagutsuchi is capable of being summoned to throw powerful kicks, punches, and generate large beams of energy.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her incredible strengths, Nine is not immortal. Her blind love of Celica means that she is easily manipulated whenever her sister is involved, and can be distracted by Celica's presence; she is also easily irritable, and her rage can lead to mistakes. Furthermore, Nine's strength in her body created by [[Relius Clover]] severely restricts the magical and sorcery based abilities she possesses, and pale in comparison with her original body's power.<br />

'''Hakumen''' (ハクメン) is the former leader of the [[Six Heroes]] who resides within the [[Sankishin|Sankishin's]] [[Susano'o Unit]]. He is the former wielder of the [[Interfectum Malus: Ookami]]. Before donning the mantle of 'Hakumen', he was a time-displaced [[Jin Kisaragi]] who was transported nearly 100 years in the past. <br />
<br />
Hakumen is one of the original twelve playable characters who debuted in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]''.<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Hakumen is in possession of the Susano'o unit, which takes it's form with him with white heavy armor on his head, shoulders, abdomen, upper legs, and feet. He also wears a traditional hakama and a black bodysuit. The armor on his shoulders has one red eye on each shoulder and each foot armor has six eyes on it. His helmet has two horns on it and he has long silver hair tied back into a ponytail.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Hakumen approaches every situation with almost mechanical detachment, and engages with only one purpose: total victory.<ref name="bbcf-hakumen-personality-jp"/><ref name="bbcpex-hakumen"/>}}<br />
<br />
Stoic and disciplined - Hakumen is a man of few words who only speaks when necessary. He believes in balancing the world and will do anything in his power to do so. He is a firm believer in his principles of justice and doing what is right, yet never fails to say exactly what is on his mind when the time is right. Hakumen's pride can border on hubris, but his confidence in his own abilities is founded in his overwhelming capability.<br />
<br />
Although he seems quiet, Hakumen's mind is always analyzing the situation at hand, mechanically assessing the best way through it. Despite the fact that he is hailed across the world as a heroic icon and his name is known by everyone, Hakumen does not revel in the popularity. Popularity and fame are irrelevant to him; all that matters is his mission to destroy everything left behind by the [[Black Beast]] and [[Yuuki Terumi]]. Every single battle is approached with no mercy or remorse, only the objective of an annihilating victory.<br />
<br />
Hakumen is not without his humanity, however, and his personality as Jin still lingers deep beneath his silence. He cares greatly for [[Tsubaki Yayoi]], and harbors feelings of regret for not being able to save her in his original timeline. Although he would loathe to admit it, Hakumen does also care for the other Six Heroes (bar Terumi), particularly [[Jubei]] and [[Trinity Glassfille]]. He would never turn his back on his comrades, and would go out of his way into mortal danger to save them. [[Celica A. Mercury]] is another person that Hakumen thinks highly of thanks to the time they spent together during the Dark War.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Being the leader of the legendary Six Heroes is enough of an indicator towards Hakumen's undeniable strength. He is permanently clad in the Susano'o Unit, one of the Sankishin. This gives him complete immunity to [[seithr]], incredible physical power, and nigh impenetrable armor. The true ability of the Unit is to allow its user to slash through time itself, something that Hakumen can use in conjunction with his Nox Nyctores - the Intefectum Malus: Ookami. Ookami is a weapon that can nullify [[Ars Magus]] itself with its special blade, but its true power has yet to be actually seen.<ref>''BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Teach Me, Miss Litchi! Episode 5 - Ars Armagus? Nox Nyctores? What the?''</ref> Regardless, it is still a Nox-class weapon, and used in conjunction with the power of the Susano'o Unit, Hakumen is an extremely powerful figure.<br />
<br />
In gameplay, Hakumen is one of the more unique characters. He has a unique '''{{h|Magatama Gauge}}''', instead of a Heat Gauge, which is used for him to activate his special attacks. His gameplay [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Zanshin}}''', alternatively known as '''{{h|God Slash}}''' - Hakumen briefly conjures a small shield-like sigil in front of him and launches a counter whenever attacked. Outside of gameplay, one of Hakumen's most powerful attacks is a technique called '''{{h|Time Killer}}''' which strips a target of all their remaining time in the world and instantly kills them. Although this ability is powerful, an [[Observer]] can Observe themselves to stave off the effect for a week, and the ability is useless against individuals such as [[Izanami]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Epilogue''</ref><br />
<br />
Power is not the only thing in Hakumen's possession. He is also a product of [[Order]] and he can employ its power to fight against great threats to the world. This was most evident in his battles against the Black Beast. Hakumen is also a cunning and strategical leader who employs his vast knowledge of the world in every battle, proving himself well versed in many areas. Even Hakumen's own presence is enough to leave men such as [[Ragna the Bloodedge]] so scared that they are unable to move.<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Story Mode, True Ending''</ref> The legendary knight is well trained from his years as Jin under the [[Kisaragi]] household, meaning that he excels in hand-to-hand martial arts and academics.<br />
<br />
Yet, for all his strengths, Hakumen is not as powerful as he once was. Thanks to the complicated circumstances surrounding the Observation from [[Kokonoe]] and [[Rachel Alucard]], Hakumen is only at 20% of his original strength, putting him at a severe disadvantage. He is, however, not so proud as to underestimate his opponents, and does not let his personality come between himself and victory. Hakumen's own will is enough to survive his [[soul]] being shattered<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 092''</ref> and to stay within the Boundary for nearly a century without losing himself to insanity. <br />

'''Nine the Phantom''' (ナイン=ザ=ファントム), born '''Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury''' (ノエ=アヤツキ=マーキュリー) and historically known as the '''Great Magister Nine''', was one of the [[Six Heroes]], the creator of [[Ars Magus]], the [[Nox Nyctores]] and a hailed figure across the world. She was the older sister of [[Celica A. Mercury]], wife to [[Jubei]] and mother of [[Kokonoe]]. Nine was known for her incredible talent with both [[magic]] and [[sorcery]] which she used in great efforts to keep her family safe.<br />
<br />
Nine, as '''"Me"''' ("わたし"), is one of the main protagonists of ''[[XBlaze Lost: Memories]]'' and first appeared as '''Phantom''' (ファントム) in ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]''. Nine was finally made playable in ''[[BlazBlue: Central Fiction]]'' where she is the final boss of Arcade's Act I.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Nine is a woman with a voluptuous figure, yellow eyes, and long vibrant pink hair that covers her left eye. As a child her hair was in a side ponytail and as Nine the Phantom her sclera turns black.<br />
<br />
As a child Nine wore a white button up shirt with purple cuffs along with a purple vest dress with gold accents and two black braces that hung from the bottom. Along with this uniform she wore brown tights and purple shoes. As Konoe she wore a big purple witch hat and a [[Mage's Guild]] uniform while during the Dark War she wore a white button up sleeveless top with a purple tie, a black coat which was loosened at the shoulders and had one green strap on each sleeve, and black and gold stockings with black high heels. As Phantom she wore a high collar purple cloak with a red zig-zag pattern, a white to red gradient scarf, and a new designed purple witch hat that concealed any immediately recognizable feature of her. Finally as Nine the Phantom she wore a witch hat similar to that of Phantom's but with a magenta accented slit in it, a purple, magenta, and pink dress with detatched sleeves, a purple cloak with red on the inner side, black tights, and black heels. Also her fingers are longer and her nails have become sharper.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Harboring burning fury at the knowledge of the truth of the world and using that power to end the world, she is the owner of a fearsome will and stormy temper.

Belligerent, openly hostile to anyone except those closest to her. Nine is an openly rebellious woman who defies authority while expecting others to recognise hers. Her temper is always on the verge of exploding, and she is ready to let anyone know her feelings, unable to hide her explosive rage and sharp tongue. Nine has a habit of letting others know her superiority, and she openly demonstrates her power without thinking of the consequences.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her temper, Nine has a mind sharper than many would initially believe. She is a thorough academic who has dedicated her life to sorcery, magic, Ars Magus, alchemy, and the creation of the Nox Nyctores'. Few can match both her intellect and cunning, and she is a revolutionary scientist whose discoveries, theories, and techniques have had a permanent change on the world. As a child, Nine was already considered a genius. She demonstrated a lot of patience and kindness towards [[Nobody]] and [[Es]], going far out of her way to make their lives better even though they had not known each other for long.<br />
<br />
Nine was unusually cruel to [[Kazuma Kval]] and judges people based on her initial perception of them. Although she has a good intuition of people, Nine does not readily change her opinion of anyone. Celica is one of the most important people in Nine's life, and she dotes on her young sister whenever she can. Nine will defy everyone and everything for those she loves, although for Celica, she will defy even her own daughter. She does not appreciate men approaching her little sister, thinking that they would manipulate her, and Nine has to keep a constant eye over Celica to make sure she is not in danger. Nine's relationship with her father, [[Shuichiro Ayatsuki]], is strained - she hates him, blaming him for the death of her [[Mother]], and knew even from a young age that he had plans for Celica in his experiments. Hatred does little to describe how intense her feelings towards him are. <br />
<br />
Outside of her family Nine also deeply cares for one more individual - [[Trinity Glassfille]], her best friend. Trinity is perhaps the only person that Nine will ever listen to, and at times, will even concede her own will to Trinity's. Throughout their friendship, Nine and Trinity have protected one another, but in recent years, this friendship has ended because of Nine's willingness to burn down the world for her family.<br />
<br />
Nine feels as if the world is wrong because of the [[Amaterasu Unit]] and [[The Origin]] resetting time. Everything that Nine and her comrades fought for in the [[Dark War]] means nothing because it will all be reset. Upon learning this truth, she went so far as to begin creating a replacement "God". Knowing that Celica would meet her fate at the hands of [[Yuuki Terumi]], her father unleashing the [[Black Beast]], and the suffering of her family and humanity would all be repeated for eternity sent Nine on her mission to destroy The Origin and create a new world. Although her methods were questionable, Nine was ultimately trying to save the world once more, even though her true reasons were to save Celica, and she did not care much for the rest of humanity.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Arguably not just one of the most powerful witches of her time, but one of the strongest sorcerers in history. Nine's sorcery is as aggressive as her personality as she focuses on delivering powerful spells with little casting time. Her arsenal of spells is vast, only being limited by her imagination. Nine furthermore has a unique yet deadly ability which she has no control over: she attracts [[seithr]]. This ability is only suppressed by her imitation of the [[Origin of the Grimoire]] which is her left eye, and absorbs the seithr around her. <br />
<br />
In combat, Nine is able to rapidly deploy spells with casting time so tiny it almost seems like an instinctive reflex. She can fire a ball of light that explodes into a rain of bullets or fire gusts of wind so powerful that they can rend bone. If an opponent comes too close, Nine can generate lightning around her body to prevent them from coming closer.<ref>'' BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref> Teleportation is one of Nine's signature abilities although she initially struggled with using it at first, eventually mastering it over time and being able to teleport herself and others great distances. One of her other spells allows her to heighten her senses to the levels of [[beastkin]], giving her excellent hearing and vision which far surpasses most humans. Although she seldom fights physically, Nine has enough strength to break doors with single kicks and lift fully grown men by their collars.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 5 - Night of Black Betrayal''</ref><br />
<br />
Mastery over many spells is not just Nine's only strength in sorcery. She is keenly aware of its application in combat and outside of it. Freezing her opponent's legs<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref>, ricocheting spells off multiple surfaces to meet a target, and even using electricity to fry circuits in electric locks. <br />
<br />
Although famously known for her belligerent sorcery, Nine is also an extremely capable scientist who created [[Ars Magus]], [[Ars Armegis]], and the [[Nox Nyctores]] class weapons. She was on the verge of creating the [[Burning Red Grimoire]] which would have allowed humanity access to sorcery, but it was never completed in her lifetime. Alongside her gifts with sorcery and science, Nine was accomplished with [[alchemy]] and [[magic]], both being required for her recognition into the Ten Sages. The only [[Art]] which Nine is stated to have no mastery over is a [[Drive]]. This is reflected in gameplay where her Drive is '''{{h|The Abyss Diver}}''' but is not a reflection of her soul, instead being another way for her to cast numerous spells. In gameplay her spell arsenal gives her the most options of any playable character. Her spells here include summoning water, fire, and wind at basic levels, but her advanced spells include gravity manipulation, creating balls of electricity, creating reflecting mirrors, and summoning large tree roots to name only a few.<br />
<br />
Nine's willpower has allowed her to endure the agonizing nature of the [[Boundary]] and still retain her sanity. On top of her myriad of offensive spells, Nine is capable of others such as the [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]], giving her complete control over a person's free will, something she used in great effect over [[Yuuki Terumi]] in the Dark War. She also has a contract with a demonic being called [[Hino Kagutsuchi]] which is seemingly under her complete dominion. Kagutsuchi is capable of being summoned to throw powerful kicks, punches, and generate large beams of energy.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her incredible strengths, Nine is not immortal. Her blind love of Celica means that she is easily manipulated whenever her sister is involved, and can be distracted by Celica's presence; she is also easily irritable, and her rage can lead to mistakes. Furthermore, Nine's strength in her body created by [[Relius Clover]] severely restricts the magical and sorcery based abilities she possesses, and pale in comparison with her original body's power.<br />

'''ν-No.13-''', more commonly abbreviated as '''Nu-13''', and also known as the '''Sword of Hades''', is a [[Boundary Interface Prime Field Device]] who is modelled after [[Saya]] and lusted after [[Ragna the Bloodedge]], hoping to fuse with him to become the [[Black Beast]].<br />
<br />
Nu first appeared in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]'', and was absent for ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]'' only appearing as Lambda's Unlimited Form. She reappeared in ''[[BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma]]'' and onward.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Nu-13 is a fragile and thin girl with pale skin, large, sunken red eyes, and gray hair. Most of her hair is worn in a very long ponytail, the end of which is attached to a sword-shaped metal object. On her face is a seithr regulator, which she wears as part of an eye patch. The symbol for a Prime Field Device is tattooed between her collarbones.<br />
<br />
When in standby mode, Nu's clothing is a simple light blue one-piece jumpsuit with short leggings and long sleeves which wrap around her middle fingers in a way similar to bridal gloves. There are metal harnesses on her jumpsuit on the nape of her neck and under her breasts. Over this, she wears a white and blue cloak with various rings attached to it. These rings are adorned by red talismans with various symbols on them. The cloak has a huge collar, held upright by a metal piece imprinted with Nu's Prime Field Device symbol.<br />
<br />
Nu's battle gear is very similar to that of a mecha. Her face is covered by a visor with horn-like antennae and a single, glowing red eye. Over her jumpsuit, she wears a harness which is attached to a blue jewel and to her shoulder guards. These shoulder guards are blue and white, with a gray part on the nape of her neck, and there are two seithr regulators on the back of each shoulder. The shoulder guards are attached to her arm guards, which have small blades similar to her swords mounted on them. Her battle gear's most distinctive feature is the plate armor covering her legs. These armored leggings are mounted with blades that serve as weapons for her. Nu's hips, upper arms, and armored leggings have glowing green lights on them. <br />
<br />
Nu is able to telekinetically control eight swords, which she uses as weapons in addition to the blades on her legs and forearms. These swords often float behind her in a pattern similar to wings.<br />
<br />
While in her battle gear, there is a small black marking in the shape of a sword on Nu's jumpsuit.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Although she judges situations mechanically, she will occasionally show moments of intense emotion. She has the highest-priority objective to "be together with Ragna" and towards Ragna alone will act girlishly.<ref name="bbcf-nu-personality-jp"/><ref name="bbcpex-nu"/>}}<br />
<br />
To almost everyone, Nu is cold, mechanical, and apathetic. She is solely focused on her mission to fuse with Ragna, and will not allow anyone to come between her and that objective. When away from Ragna, Nu's speech pattern is robotic, using complicated and professional language, and vocally exclaiming when she is loading or commencing the extermination of a target. Like this, she will often analysis her opponents and assign them warnings, coldly assessing their strengths from a glance.<br />
<br />
But to Ragna, everything changes. When around him, Nu is filled with emotion, lusting after him and breaking her mechanical language. She will vocally call out to him with sexual innuendo, taunt him about his darker feelings, and threaten to kill him, all while baring a smile filled with glee. It appears her feelings of "love" towards him are genuine, but love to Nu is simply fusing with Ragna to become the [[Black Beast]] - nothing more or less. She won't allow anyone else to touch him, she only wants the Grim Reaper to herself, and as far as she is concerned, everyone else is an obstacle in the way of her happiness.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Nu's mechanical expressions faded away, and she is nearly always filled with intense emotions, particularly on killing others and seeking Ragna. She went insane from not being with him, and would do quite literally anything to become one with him. She would even defy the orders of those who command her, being derogatory and showing a sharp tongue to anyone who isn't her love.<br />
<br />
Nu has no hobbies, bar thinking about Ragna. Nu is part of the yandere trope of characters that appear in Japanese media. <ref>''Wiktionary, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yandere#English Yandere]''</ref><br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
As a Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, Nu is completely immune to the effects of [[seithr]] and can freely roam the Boundary with no consequences. Since she is one of her species that is modelled after Saya, she has incredible [[Ars Magus]] aptitude, merited by her ability to use the Lux Sanctus: Murakumo. When activated, Nu has its bladed armor and floating eight blades at her disposal, and she excels in masterfully using them against her opponents. <br />
<br />
An ability that Nu excels in using is deploying her '''{{h|Petals}}''', floating black spaces that deploy a myriad of blades; in gameplay, this is her [[Drive]], '''{{h|Sword Summoner}}'''. There are no limits to the black blades she can produce with this ability, some of them ranging from typical swords to blades that run along the ground, catching at her opponent's feet. Even without this ability, Nu is blindingly fast and strong, capable of various acrobatics and blows strong enough to knock opponents meters into the air.<br />
<br />
Nu has a [[Life Link]] with Ragna - this means that neither can die unless they both die in a similar time frame; because of this, both are unconventionally immortal. Even without her life link, Nu is extraordinarily difficult to kill, being able to regenerate her damaged body at inhuman speeds. Even when she is damaged or in pain, Nu's will to fight through to kill her opponents means that she is unstoppable. Even the [[Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk]] has not enough stopping power in its charges to stop Nu from hunting her enemies.<br />
<br />
As this prime field's mentality has begun to unwind, she has become more vicious and willing to destroy. She is far easier to annoy and her quickness to anger in her pursuit of Ragna is a weakness that is easy for strong opponents to exploit. After absorbing Take-Mikazuchi's core, Nu is a threat that only the strongest can eliminate - she can fight evenly against [[Jubei]] and [[Hakumen]], two of the [[Six Heroes]], but her deteriorating mental state makes her an easy target for individuals such as [[Yuuki Terumi]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Nox Nyctores''' (<ruby><rb>事象兵器</rb><rt>アークエネミー</rt></ruby> ''<ruby><rb>Jishō Heki</rb><rt>Āku Enemī</rt></ruby>'' ) are a set of eleven weapons that are considered the ultimate form of [[Ars Armegis]]. The majority of them were created by [[Nine the Phantom]].<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
<br />
Based on the [[Sankishin]], the [[Sealed Weapon Izayoi]] <ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 3, Chapter 1''</ref> and the [[Legacy Weapons]] <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 10''</ref>, Nox Nyctores were originally created to combat the [[Black Beast]] during the [[Dark War]]. The first nine weapons were made during the war, but the tenth and eleventh weapons were made in the years following. The first Nox, the [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]], had its core split in two, one half fuelling the weapon, and the other half being split up and distributed to the other Nox's developed during the Dark War.<br />
<br />
As they are a form of [[Ars Magus]], they all require [[seithr]] to function, but only those exceptionally versed and skilled in the [[Art]] are capable of wielding Nox's. On top of those prerequisites, Nox's choose their wielders as all hold a certain degree of sentience when they possess their cores. This is what makes wielding a Nox Nyctores dangerous, as their sentience and self-awareness can greatly harm their wielder's mentality. This drawback happens as the Nox removes what it deems as unnecessary emotions, and places a greater importance on others, amplifying them; some eliminate all emotions when being used, while others heighten bloodlust.<br />
<br />
After the Dark War, some of the Nox's had their cores removed by Nine, as the weapons had served their purpose. [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]], [[Mucro Somnio: Musashi]], and [[Interfectum Malus: Ookami]] all had their cores removed, but the other Nox's went missing before Nine was able to find them. During the [[Ikaruga Civil War]], Nox Nyctores were central parts of the war's mechanisms. Nirvana became entangled in multiple retrieval missions from both the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]] and [[Sector Seven]], for example. In the years after the war, the NOL took interest in safeguarding the Nox's, having collected the [[Arma Reboare: Muchourin]] at some point. However, they did not actively remove Nox's from their owners as [[Jin Kisaragi]] and [[Carl Clover]], an NOL major and [[vigilante]], respectively, both held onto their weapons even though the NOL were aware of their presence.<br />
<br />
Despite their drawbacks, there are a great many benefits to using Nox's. They are all remarkably powerful and each one possesses a unique ability. Unlike other weapons, they can also inflict scars on their victim's [[soul]], something that transcends [[Phenomenon Intervention]]. Even with their cores removed, the Nox's still possessed abilities unlike any other weapon - Musashi is still capable of cutting through anything, even though it has not had its core for nearing a century.<br />
<br />
Two versions of [[Lux Sanctus: Murakumo]] exist. One belonged to [[Nu-13]], and one to [[Mu-12]]. The power of the Nox's has inspired similar weapons, specifically the [[Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapon|Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapons]] by [[Kokonoe]] and the [[Detonator]] line of weapons by [[Relius Clover]]. These weapons have similar powers and strengths to the Nox Nyctores, but aren't considered members of the category.<br />

;Nox Nyctores Causality Weapon<br />
''Unlike Armagus, these take the form of [[Grimoire|Grimoires]] converted into weapons, smelted for fighting the 'Black Beast'. They are also called 'Phenomena Weapons.'<br />
<br />
''Smelting them requires extremely advanced techniques, and only ten were planned in total. Out of them, nine were completed by one of the [[Six Heroes]], Nine, while the Dark War was still continuing, but the war ended before the tenth weapon, 'Murakumo' was completed. Several of the Nox Nyctores were lost during the war.<br />
<br />
''Utlizing them requires advanced Ars Magus, and not everyone can wield them properly. Also, there's a danger of causing massive strain on the user's mind. Creating the Nox Nyctores requires a large number of souls as well, in other words, humans.'' <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Library Mode, Weapon #011''</ref><br />

[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_05.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Celebration]]<br />
Celica grew up and enrolled into the [[Mage's Guild]] on Ishana, becoming a student with average grades. In 2100, the [[Black Beast]] arose from Japan and the [[Dark War]] begun. Shuichiro was blamed for its appearance and he disappeared, presumed dead. Celica and Konoe grew much closer, but her sister's relationship with their father did not mend, leading to the sister bickering over the subject countless times. She became good friends with [[Trinity Glassfille]], Konoe's best friend.<br />
<br />
Konoe was chosen to become one of the [[Ten Sages]] - Nine. After the [[Canonization Ceremony]], Celica and Trinity found the newly appointed Nine exiting the Ishanan Cathedral. Although Celica was disheartened that her sister had now changed her name, she was pulled into a giant embrace by Nine and told that no matter what, they would always be sisters, and that they would always love each other. Celica decided that they could celebrate by getting lunch together at the cafeteria.<br />
<br />
At the cafe, the girls met [[Kazuma Kval]], and Celica took an immediate shining to him, begging him to allow the group to sit with him. He allowed it, and Celica's happiness shone through the cold remarks that Nine was constantly dropping to the boy. As she ate spaghetti bolognese, Celica listened to Kazuma talk about classes. Before she could finish her food, Nine dragged her away and told her to stay away from him; Celica retorted and they bickered until a nearby television burst to life and ran the news that a Japanese survivor has been found. The sister's stopped in their tracks, but Kazuma fell ill - Celica attempted to help him, but her hand was smacked away and the boy ran to the infirmary.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 1 - Island of Green Wisdom''</ref><br />
<br />
Nine soon felt an unusual presence in downtown Ishana, so the trio of girls went to investigate. They found Kazuma in an alleyway next to a destroyed cobble road. She saw the boy was injured and offered to use her healing sorcery to recover his wounds but was rejected. Instead, the girls walked him back to his dormitory.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 2 - Cat of Crimson Sunset''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_10.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Manipulation]]<br />
Together with Trinity, Kazuma, and Nine, Celica enjoyed a caramel cake and lemon tea in a cafe. She told the boy about her sister's incredible sweet tooth, telling him that her sickly sweet coffee is something she needs to relax her mind. She was then interrogated by her sister over her failing grades in lightning sorcery, but boasted of her ability to levitate for long distances. When Kazuma brought up Shuichiro, Celica and Nine began to have another one of their fights over the man, and both knocked tea over Trinity, causing her to greatly scold the two of them for their behaviour. Kazuma then ran away.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 4 - Doubt of Yellow Equilibrium''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_13.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ragna]]<br />
Celica was called out by Kazuma to the edge of Ishana. He dripped poison into her ear about Shuichiro possibly surviving in Japan, using the other survivor had been found recently as part of the persuasion. She learned that the survivor did not think he had been stuck within Japan for six years, but rather two because of a time distortion near a [[cauldron]]. Although hesitant, Celica learned that civilians could visit Japan, and it was not just a militarized zone. Excited, Celica also learned that there was a small hole in Ishana's barrier that she could escape through.<br />
<br />
The young mage ran home and quickly wrote a letter addressed to Nine, Trinity, and Kazuma that told them that she would be going to find Shuichiro, but would return. She then excited through the barrier and used levitation sorcery to take her to a port that could ship to Japan.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 5 - Night of Black Betrayal''</ref> When she arrived, she stayed at a local hotel before making her way to the harbor. As she climbed a mountain to get to the port, Celica got lost, but she found a young man with a bright red jacket slumped against a tree. She immediately began to tend to him.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Epilogue''</ref><br />
<br />
Celica took the man into a nearby shack and tended further to him. When the man finally awoke, he introduced himself as [[Ragna the Bloodedge]], and Celica explained about her sorcery. She learned that he was suffering from amnesia and could not open his right eye. Together, they set off towards the nearby port town, with Ragna accompanying on the chance that clues towards his memories might be there. En route, they were ambushed by [[seithr]]-mutated dogs after Celica had left them lost with her terrible directions. Ragna defeated them, but Celica healed the dogs back to health, having felt sorry for them.<br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase 0 Novel Illustration 04.jpg|thumb|right|Star gazing]]Almost immediately after picking up her map, Celica and Ragna were interrupted by a [[beastkin]]. The creature, who introduced himself as [[Mitsuyoshi]], fought against Ragna, and the two battled until Celica stood between them, demanding them to stop. Mitsuyoshi told them of his objective - to head to Japan and capture Shuichiro. Shocked, Celica told him that Shuichiro is her father, and begged to know why her father was being hunted. She learned that he was likely responsible for the appearance of the Black Beast, and convinced Mitsuyoshi and Ragna to accompany her to Japan so she could find Shuichiro. Together, they made their way to the port town.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 1 - Lost White''</ref><br />
<br />
After securing an inn with Ragna and Mitsuyoshi, the three of them had dinner together. The beastkin soon left to gather intelligence, and the young mage went out to the harbor to gaze at the sea and stars. Ragna soon joined her, and Celica explained her family to him, talking about Nine's status as one of the Ten Sages and Shuichiro's numerous scientific awards. Lamenting on how she left Nine back on Ishana, Celica straightened her back and the two of them began walking back to the inn. She briefly lost track of Ragna, but still managed to find her way back.<br />
<br />
The following morning, the trio travelled to Japan, catching a boat from the harbor to the country. Mitsuyoshi acquired transport from the United Nations, leaving Celica stunned and in awe of his position in the world. Ragna, Celica, and Mitsuyoshi sat in the back of a pickup truck as they were ferried around the barren wastelands that had once been Japan. Celica in particular was hopeful that in close to 100 years that the land might be fertile again, earning a chuckle from Mitsuyoshi as he lamented over the state of his country. Eventually, they found the [[Seioudai Sampling Laboratory]] where Shuichiro once worked and that Celica recognized from a visit in her childhood. Together, the trio entered the building, searching for the man but finding nothing. Once in the courtyard, they were attacked by a Remnant of the Black Beast, and Celica was helpless as she watched both Ragna and Mitsuyoshi give all their might to combat against it - they lost. The Remnant faded away, although Mitsuyoshi lost his eye from the encounter; Celic desperately tried to heal him, but the wounds could not be healed with her sorcery. They were met by a young [[vampire]], [[Rachel Alucard]], who offered them the chance to save him. Celica and Ragna took up the offer, and the former was shocked as the runes of teleportation sorcery flashed underneath them.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 2 - Destructive Black''</ref><br />
<br />
Inside the [[Alucard Castle]], Celica and Ragna were ordered to stay in the parlor by Rachel as a butler carried the bloodied Mitsuyoshi into the inner sanctum of the Castle. Soon enough, both of them were introduced to the master of the Castle - [[Clavis Alucard]], and his butler, [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]]. Clavis told Celica that he was the one who ordered the capture of Shuichiro, and she listened to his explanation on the discovery of the [[Susano'o Unit]], the [[cauldron|cauldrons]], and Shuichiro's pursuit of the creation of a [[Kusanagi]]. Left to process the revelations set before her, Celica and Ragna were guided to the second floor by Valkenhayn as they were offered a place to stay for the night.<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_0_Novel_Illustration_08.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Tea and conflict]]<br />
Later that evening, Celica found Ragna in the Castle's hallways. He expressed his worry about her after hearing about what Shuichiro had done; regardless, Celica told him of her resolve to still find her father, and the two agreed to continue on their search for the scientist. Clavis gave them a map for the [[First District]] and they ventured out to Japan one more. Now in the Kantō region, Ragna and Celica ended lost on a ragged trail thanks to Celica's direction. Ragna attempted to snatch the map away from her, but was interrupted by powerful sorcery attacking him. Turning to see the person who shot the sorcery, Celica turned pale as she saw it was Nine, with Trinity close behind.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 3 - Reality's Red''</ref><br />
<br />
Celica quickly jumped in front of Ragna to prevent Nine from hurting him. Both Nine and Celica entered into an argument about the man, with her older sister jumping on the offensive and immediately kicking Ragna when he interrupted their conflict. Celica began crying, and the situation was only diffused when Trinity offered them all tea. Nine and Celica, however, continued to argue, although this time it was about Shuichiro and the latter's search for him. The argument ended as Celica's resolve to search for her father swayed both Nine and Trinity into joining the search, and the new group travelled towards the First District.<br />
<br />
Upon making it to the District, Celica was amazed by the technology used there. They soon discovered an elevator, and Trinity noted how the area was protected by alchemy. As they descended down into the depths of the area, the elevator suddenly began to rumble and violently stopped. Ragna created an exit, and quickly pulled Celica up to a safe footing alongside Trinity and Nine. He was unable to gain any good footing, and fell as Celica screamed out his name and helplessly stretched out her arm. The three girls made their way to where Ragna fell, and saw [[Hakumen]]. He barely spoke to the women before leaving. Celica quickly ran to Ragna's side, healing him of his injuries; reunited, the group continued to search in the facility before coming across a cauldron and an entrance to an unexplored room.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref><br />
<br />
Gaining access through Ragna's brute strength and Nine's electricity, the group entered the laboratory. Hung high above them was the [[Kushinada's Lynchpin]]. Nine quickly read through the nearby research notes, becoming noticeably agitated as she did so, telling Celica it was all in Shuichiro's handwriting. Nine threw the papers onto the ground and began stomping on them, and Celica tried her best to save the documents from her sister's wrath. Upon inquiring on her sister's outrage, Celica was told that the device could defeat the Black Beast.<br />
<br />
Moments later, Shuichiro himself appeared, gaunt from his captivity in the First District. Celica ran towards him, tears in her eyes, but their reunion was cut short as Nine commanded her to get away from him. She revealed that all of his research papers were not just on the Lynchpin but on how to merge Celica with it, and that her [[soul]] was ultimately the catalyst required for its activation. Nine pushed her father against the wall with a powerful shockwave, and Celica rushed to his side, seeing sanity slip from her father's mind as began to die, all while crazily exclaiming his achievement of having surpassed [[Relius Clover]]. When he finally died, Ragna held Celica as she uncontrollably sobbed into his jacket.<br />
<br />
Mitsuyoshi appeared from the shadows, having listened to the conversation that transpired. He began to argue with Nine over what to do, being in favour of Celica sacrificing herself if it meant saving the world. Celica helplessly watched as the two battled over her fate, but had enough and ran between their battle. Both Ragna and Trinity helped to end the conflict diffuse, and the group attempted to reconcile and talk rationally through the situation.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref><br />
<br />
Trinity prepared tea for the group, and Celica sullenly drank it, still reeling from the death of her father and the revelation that she could end the war. She told the group that she was willing to die if it meant saving the world, and expressed her heartfelt love for everyone she had met. Ragna interrupted her, and told them all that there was another way - if he charged into the Black Beast. Celica, nor the others, understood what he meant, but he revealed to her that he had a younger brother and sister, and that he did not want Nine to experience losing a sibling. Ragna playfully ruffled her hair before Nine and Ragna went to talk in private.<br />
<br />
The ground began to rumble and the Black Beast itself had appeared. Celica stayed with Nine and Trinity as her sister cast a circle to teleport them out of the area. Ragna gave her his jacket and promised to come back for her after his encounter with the Beast. Mitsuyoshi also stayed behind to help Ragna in his effort, and Celica waved at them both before being teleported away, desperately clinging to the jacket he had given her.<br />
<br />
Now again in the Alucard Castle, Celica learned that Clavis had passed away while they were in Japan, and that Rachel had become the new head. Mitsuyoshi finally returned some time later with Ragna's sword; Celica healed him as he gave her the sword and apologised, stating that Ragna had been swalllowed whole by the Beast. She wiped his crying eyes and embraced [[Aramasa]], the sword of the man who sacrificed himself in her stead.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 6 - Promised Azure''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 04.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Daydream]]<br />
As the months passed after Ragna's disappearance, Celica returned to Ishana and continued her studies. Nine had assembled a team of warriors to combat the Black Beast, including herself, [[Hakumen]], Mitsuyoshi (who had changed his name to Jubei), Trinity, Valkenhayn, and a man called [[Yuuki Terumi]], who bore a remarkable resemblance to Kazuma. All that Celica knew of Kazuma was that he had disappeared from Ishana, seemingly unaware that Terumi and Kazuma were two souls sharing the same body. The group of warriors that included Nine would be known to history as the [[Six Heroes]]. In her free time, Celica polished Aramasa and fixed Ragna's jacket to the point of complete restoration.<br />
<br />
In August, 2107AD, Celica daydreamed in the courtyard of the Mage's Guild. She dreamed of being in a pure white space, in front of her a singular mirror; she shook herself awake from the vision and saw silver hair in the distance. She called out "Ragna" to the figure, but when the figure turned around, it was Hakumen atop one of Ishana's hills. The two briefly talked, and Celica remarked that Hakumen and Ragna had a similar presence. Hakumen asked her if she meant Ragna the Bloodedge, but Celica was unfamiliar with his title, only knowing Ragna's given name. Abruptly, Hakumen left to find Nine, and Celica cheerfully jogged after him, attempting to follow his large strides.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 1 - White Blade, A Flower''</ref><br />
<br />
Hakumen and Celica were found by Nine and the other Heroes, who immediately embraced her younger sister. She explained that she was with Hakumen and tried to persuade Nine that it was her fault for his absence. The atmosphere was soured by Terumi's arrival and he attempted to start an argument with Hakumen - Celica broke the confrontation and attempted to grab Terumi's arm, but he did his best to avoid her, something that Celica had noticed some time ago. The group disbanded when [[Seven]] and [[Eight]] reprimanded Nine for bringing them inside the Mage's Guild. Celica was about to leave with the others, but Seven grabbed her arm and demanded that she stay. Eight began to insult Nine's companions for not being human, and Celica stood up for them, telling Eight that they were risking their lives for the world and that they should be treated with respect. Both Seven and a stunned Eight then asked Celica if she would cooperate with their research, but Nine answered before Celica could register the question - no. Nine dragged her younger sister away from the two Sages and Celica begged her sister for information on what they had been talking about; Nine dismissed this by telling Celica that they were trying to use a failed weapon.<br />
<br />
The sisters entered their favourite cafe, seeing Jubei and Trinity waiting for them. Celica greeted them both, but her hopes of having tea with all the Heroes together was crushed. She giggled and watched as Nine flirted with Jubei, causing the beastkin to become flushed and embarrassed. This interaction made Celica happy for her sister as she noticed that this was the first time Nine had allowed herself to become close to anyone who wasn't Trinity. The atmosphere was once again soured by Terumi's arrival; once he left for the other side of the cafe, Celica attempted to lighten the mood, but accidentally pulled at Jubei's tails - he flipped the table, sending Nine's thick coffee all over Trinity and her glasses. The sisters immediately began apologizing, knowing that they had incurred the young woman's wrath.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 2 - Purple Ones, Their Theory''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 06.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Nirvana's assignment]]<br />
When the group left the cafe after Trinity's long rant, Celica and Nine bid the others goodbye. The sisters walked together back to their home, and Nine promised that she had a surprise of sorts for her younger sister, and that she would have to follow her into her workshop, a location that Celica hadn't visited since she was a child. There, Nine introduced Celica to a tall doll that would become her bodyguard while Nine was away on business concerning the Black Beast. Nine chanted a spell that bound the doll to Celica, and introduced her creation as the [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]]. Celica took Nirvana's hand and vowed that they would get along before the new formed duo went to prepare dinner. Celica was made aware by Nine that the research that Seven and Eight wanted Celica to be a part of would likely result in her death.<br />
<br />
Celica attended her classes the following day. Nirvana was forced to stay in an office until her mistress' classes were over. As they walked back home, Celica was approached by Seven and Eight. Although she was without Nine, Celica stood up for herself, telling them both that she would not participate, a statement which was backed up by Nirvana taking a firm stance between the two parties. Both mage and doll left the Sages behind, with Celica deciding that they go to the local bakery to buy breads for dinner.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 3 - Scarlet Guardian, the Doll''</ref><br />
<br />
Nine insisted that Celica join a war council with the Six Heroes since she was worried about Seven and Eight's plans. Within the meeting, Celica was bored, not understanding most of what was being said and feeling as if she did not belong with such a group of amazing people. She leaned on Nirvana's arm and the doll attempted to pat its mistress on the head, reminding Celica of Ragna. The meeting was interrupted by Rachel as she teleported into the room, shocking Celica so much that she tipped out of her seat. She noticed a look in the vampire's eyes when she said that she could not intervene in the world - it reminded Celica of Rachel's father, Clavis. Rachel told the group that the Beast would appear wherever Celica was because Ragna's soul was sleeping within it. That night, Celica returned home and clung desperately to the Aramasa and Ragna's jacket. She told Nirvana that she would become bait for the Beast, and that she would attempt to convince Nine the following day. That night, Celica dreamed again of a white room with a singular mirror.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 4 - Indigo Heart, the Conception''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_2_Novel_Illustration_09.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Take-Mikazuchi's aftermath]]<br />
It took Celica some time to convince Nine that she should be bait for the Beast, but her older sister finally relented so long as both Nirvana and Hakumen were there to protect her. She, alongside the other Heroes and battalions of newly trained [[Ars Magus]] wielders, were deployed to a desert in Eastern Europe. Standing beside Hakumen and Nirvana, the knight asked her if she felt scared, something that she confessed while trembling. He attempted to comfort her, reminding her again of Ragna. Hakumen was curious, and asked if they shared any kind of resemblance, catching Celica off guard. She told him that they were both blunt, have a similar attitude, get into arguments with Nine, and that their history is completely unknown to her. The knight told her that she reminded him of someone he once knew; he then vowed to protect Celica at all costs. Happy, she bounded to his side, but their moment together was cut short as the Beast appeared in front of them.<br />
<br />
Celica screamed out Ragna's name to the Beast after locking eyes with it. Hakumen jumped to protect the girl and engaged the Beast in battle. Celica was helpless and watched as the battle unfolded between the Beast and humanity; Nirvana attempted to pull her away, but she refused to leave her position. Several lights started glowing underneath Celica's feet as Seven and Eight appeared beside her. Nirvana covered Celica with her arms, but the girl's power was being drained out of her by the circle which summoned [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]]. She was knocked unconscious, but the summoned weapon managed to repel the Black Beast for the first time in the entire Dark War. Nine ran to her sister and cradled her.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 5 - Black Beast, Reappears''</ref><br />
<br />
As the Dark War ended, Celica became a nun, with her [[Celica A. Mercury's Church|church]] being built by Nine and Jubei. It was erected over the sight of the Beast's death, and Celica greeted her sister and Jubei as they visited - they were soon to be wed. Celica offered them tea given to her by Trinity, and learned that they wanted to hold their wedding at her church. Overwhelmed with happiness, the three sat down to tea together to discuss the ceremony.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Epilogue''</ref><br />

==Chrono Phantasma==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|A mage who lived during the Dark War, and the little sister of the Six Heroes' Great Mage "Nine." By nature, she excelled at restorative sorcery and innately had an unconscious ability to surpress seithr, so Kokonoe summoned her into the present era as a "Chrono Phantasma." Equipped with an Idea Engine created by that same Kokonoe, the automaton Minerva waits together with Celica for a reunion with Ragna, who challenges his new trial with resolve.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Official Site (JP), [http://www.blazblue.jp/cp/chara_celica.html Celica A.

<tab name="Chrono Phantasma"><br />
===Chrono Phantasma===<br />
She met [[Iron Tager]] and [[Kagura Mutsuki]] <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 6: Friendship''</ref> In Yabiko, Celica was separated from Tager and she found Ragna laying on the ground heavily injured and patched him up with her sorcery, also meeting [[Taokaka]]. She realised that Ragna did not recognize her at all and he left her, telling Celica to not get involved with a guy like him. Tager then found her and they returned to the NOL Yabiko branch. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 7: Ragna, The Wanderer''</ref> <br />
<br />
She saw as Kagura defeated Ragna and threw him into a cell. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 8: Reunion''</ref> Even as Kagura teased the Grim Reaper, Celica stood up for Ragna, talking about how brave and considerate he is; Ragna was begging Kokonoe for death due to the sheer embarrassment.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 9: Izayoi''</ref> She stayed next to Ragna as he was in his cell, telling him that Kokonoe had ordered her to watch him. Rachel and Noel soon came to the basement and the vampire told them all the story of the [[The World]]. Celica intently listened to the sad story. Kokonoe entered the room and handed a switch to Celica, telling both her and Ragna that she had attached a [[Multi-Dimension Bomb]] to Ragna at the cellular level and that when the two of them were separated over a certain distance, it would detonate. They were forced to be together but they ended up lost on their way to meet Kagura and Hibiki in the former's office.<br />
<br />
In the office, Kagura revealed that Celica was the key to activating Kushinada's Lynchpin. She witnessed as [[Jin Kisaragi]] entered the building but left on Kagura's orders when the brother's got too rowdy. She soon found them arguing again in the [[Yggdrasill Seed]] and put an end to their fight, healing them both, and trying to make them see eye-to-eye.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 10: Brothers''</ref> <br />
<br />
The following day, she was at the large meal prepared by Hibiki and helped feed Ragna since he was making a mess; Celica attempted to do this for Jin but was rejected, and instead told off Tao for the food over her face. Later that evening, she talked about Nine to Ragna, although he still did not know who she was, and the two shared a tender moment together as Ragan promised he would protect her from anything.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 11: The Night Before…”</ref> That same evening, Celica healed Noel's wounds after she was attacked by [[Arakune]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 12: Uninvited Guest''</ref><br />
<br />
The following day at the [[Battle of Ragna the Bloodedge]], Celica took on the alias Ayatsuki and posed as Kagura's secretary, meeting [[Tsubaki Yayoi]] for the first time. She engaged in casual betting with Rachel over who would win in each round, always rooting for the underdog and always losing each bet. She watched Ragna save [[Bullet]] from Azrael]], taking the young woman to her sisde. Azrael launched a punch at Celica to stir Ragna, but Rachel threw [[Gii]] in that direction, blocking the attack.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 13: Mad Dog''</ref> She later healed Kagura, Ragna, and Bullet, but noticed her healing power was dwindling when she missed a scratch on Ragna's neck; they were met by Rachel, who told them to meet her in Ibukido the following day. Celica wished Makoto, Jin, and Noel good luck with freeing Tsubaki. She was relieved to see they were successful<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 14: Inherited Will''</ref><br />
<br />
Later that day, Celica saw Terumi and Phantom in the Colosseum outskirts, recognizing Phantom and being escorted back to Kokonoe's lab by Tager. The toll of having absorbed so much seithr was too much for her. The following day, Ragna, Celica, and Noel met Rachel in Ibukido, and Celica knew that this was the point where Ragna would soon meet her for the first time, all the way back in the era of the Dark War. She wished him good luck, her memories of the place they met being used by Noel so that Ragna could arrive there safely.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 15: The Truth''</ref> When Ragna returned, Celica was reunited with him properly and helped him sort through his twisted memories. She tried to keep up with him as he stormed away to Yabiko's NOL branch to find Kokonoe.<br />
<br />
Celica watched the argument between Kokonoe and Ragna, but told the man that she regretted not having used Kushinada's Lynchpin back in the Dark War. The lives that were lost when the Black Beast began to move again caused her extreme grief; Ragna told her that if she sacrificed herself then Nine would have likely never found the strength to complete Ars Magus, and the conversation was moot. Rachel arrived shortly afterwards and revealed to them all that there was another way to activate the Lynchpin, with everyone deducing that it was possible through using the [[Phoenix: Rettenjo]], which held the soul of the [[Tenjo Amanohokosaka]]. The group then decided to activate the Lynchpin as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
At the [[8th Hierarchical City of Wadatsumi]], Celica, Ragna, and Noel were guided to the Wadatsumi Castle by Hibiki. Through Noel, they were able to discover the entrance to where the Lynchpin was kept, finding [[Bang Shishigami]] keeping guard over it. Celica watched as Ragna won Bang over and told them that if all else fails that she should still be sacrificed to make sure the Lynchpin was activated. The group was then met by [[Relius Clover]], [[Ignis Clover]], [[Litchi Faye-Ling]], and Nu. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 16: Kushinada's Lynchpin''</ref><br />
<br />
Minerva came to protect Celica and Noel, and Celica was reintroduced to her companion. Minerva helped carry her when the heavy seithr in the air took its toll on her body. She, alongside Ragna and Noel, escaped from the castle basement thanks to Makoto and Tsubaki, arriving at the surface. Celica watched as Take-Mikazuchi fell to Earth and she agreed with Kokonoe on releasing her limiter, stopping the flow of seithr in the air and making the Nox significantly weaker. She also managed to convince Hakumen to help them, but she had only 10 minutes before her body would give out.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 17: Doomsday''</ref><br />
<br />
The battle was successful, and after Ragna opened a hole in Take-Mikazuchi, Celica, Ragna, and Minerva jumped inside. The landscape took on the cauldron in Ishana and Celica watched as Ragna defeated Nu. She lightly joked about it being a good thing she entered since Ragna had not thought of a way out, so Minerva helped them exit. On ground level, Celica watched as Ragna was sent berserk by Izanami interfering with his Azure Grimoire. On Jin and Noel's orders, Minerva grabbed her and tore into the other direction, leaving Celica helpless as Ragna not only mortally wounded Jin, but went missing.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Episode 18: Beginning of the End''</ref> <br />
<br />
Back in the Yabiko NOL branch, Celica gave her all to heal Jin, but she could only do so much. During this time, she grew closer with Tsubaki, but needed space to work her sorcery. Hibiki checked up on her every 3 hours to make sure she did not exhaust herself.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Epilogue''</ref><br />
<br />
</tab><br />
<tab name="Sector Seven"><br />
===Sector Seven===<br />
Kokonoe was ousted from Sector Seven by the [[Committee]], and Celica was forced to be transported to the [[6th Hierarchical City of Yabiko]]. She found the journey long and boring, but was allowed free reign later that afternoon.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 2: Unwavering Feelings </ref> She requested to Kokonoe that she could visit somewhere – her own grave. Kokonoe accompanied her and gave her some time alone to think, but that was cut short by the arrival of both [[Izanami]] and Phantom. She ignored the Imperator and stared straight at Phantom, calling out for her sister, but the shadowy figure did not respond, teleporting them away. <br />
<br />
Kokonoe ran back to Celica's side and the young mage told her niece about the appearance of the Imperator, and kept wondering about whether Phantom really was Nine or not. When they returned, Celica met [[Hibiki Kohaku]], although he lectured both her and Kokonoe over their recent acts. As they left the room they were met by [[Makoto Nanaya]], who was ordered by Kokonoe to guide Celica across Yabiko. The two became fast friends, boasting about their friends and family while also feeling relieved at being able to live a normal life for even a short time.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 3: The Melancholy of Celica''</ref><br />
<br />
</tab><br />
<tab name="Six Heroes"><br />
===Six Heroes===<br />
Celica was given a short tour around Ikaruga by Tager before being separated as they explored, her heart was filled with glee at the prospect of meeting Ragna again.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 2: Year: 2200''</ref> Celica caught sight of Nirvana, and followed after her, meeting her new wielder, [[Carl Clover]]. The boy was cold and threatened to hurt her since she kept calling the doll Nirvana but was saved by Hakumen. After Carl retreated, Celica and Hakumen decided to stay together, both talking about finding the ones they loved, referencing their conversation in their first battle against the Black Beast. They were interrupted by [[Azrael]], who battled against Hakumen with all his might. Celica created a bright light to ensure they could escape from the Mad Dog, and were soon found by Jubei, Valkenhayn, and Rachel. The group were teleported to the Alucard Castle and Celica was reunited with Trinity, and the girl forgave her for everything that happened since the Dark War. Celica did not contribute to the plan on killing Terumi, as Rachel teleported her back to Yabiko so she could meet Ragna.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 7: Destined Rendezvous''</ref><br />
<br />
Later, Celica returned to the Alucard Castle with Rachel and helped in the plan to kill Terumi. She went with Jubei and Hakumen after Trinity forced him to materialize in the real world, citing that she knew her presence would weaken him. She watched as he was defeated and then teleported away by Phantom, who stared at Celica. When Phantom disappeared, Celica confirmed to Jubei that Phantom is Nine, knowing it was true deep down in her heart. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 8: Bonds of Fate''</ref><br />

{{Quote|A mage who lived during the Dark War, and the little sister of the Six Heroes' Great Mage "Nine." By nature, she excelled at restorative sorcery and innately had an unconscious ability to surpress seithr, so Kokonoe summoned her into the present era as a "Chrono Phantasma." Awakening in the unfamiliar city of "Kagutsuchi," she wanders with Minerva at her side and searches for one important to her, Ragna.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction Consumer Edition Official Site (JP), Story - [http://www.blazblue.jp/cf/cs/story/ Celica A.

<br />
Jin was seriously injured from his fight against Ragna, and Celica tended to his wounds, staying close to his side. She did her best, but left to report to Kokonoe afterwards, bumping into Tsubaki and suggesting that she visit Jin to cheer him up. She was soon taken inside the Embryo with Minerva. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 001, Chapter 002 – 003''</ref><br />
<br />
She found herself in [[Orient Town]] in the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]] with Minerva. She came across a wanted poster of Ragna, and chirped to Minerva that they would find him and Kokonoe in the city. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 002, Chapter 010, Sub Scenario 2''</ref> Through Celica's direction, they ended up in [[Bascule]] where they met [[Naoto Kurogane]], he asked them for directions and described [[Raquel Alucard]] to them, although the young mage thought he was describing Rachel. They decided to travel together throughout the city. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 026''</ref> She, Naoto, and Minerva were teleported to Ikaruga and heard Nine's voice telling her to kill Izanami to claim her piece of the Azure. Worried for her sister, she immediately went to try and find her. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 038''</ref><br />
<br />
Finally arriving at Yabiko, Celica explained to Naoto about Nine and the Dark War. She asked more about who Naoto was looking for, and began to realise that they may not be looking for the same person, and her own careless nature made her lose him in the crowds. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 051''</ref> It took her a while to notice she had lost him, but she was soon enough distracted by finding Carl and Nirvana, the former with distorted memories. Because of said memories, Celica accidentally offended the young boy, and he ordered Nirvana to attack, but she relented as she, like Celica, knew the truth. Although upset that she had offended Carl once he left, she went on to try and find Naoto with Minerva reassuring her that she said nothing wrong. <ref>''BlazBlue: Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 054''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 49.png|thumb|left|She finally found him]]In Kazamotsu, Celica found Ragna. Reunited, they travelled together to Yabiko to find Kagura, Noel, and Kokonoe. The young mage told him of her dream for everyone to be happy and they eventually found Yabiko together. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 064''</ref> Celica went ahead to assess the situation of the people's distorted memories of Ragna, only managing to get inside the branch because of Minerva's directions. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 065''</ref> Hibiki found her, and they went together to Kagura's office <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 065''</ref> – Kokonoe explained to her that she unable to find Celica because of the teleporter malfunctioning due to the mismatched coordinates of the Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 067''</ref> She was upset with her niece's decision to send Tager to capture Ragna. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 069''</ref> She reunited with Ragna once he was brought back to the branch, and listened to Kokonoe's explanation of the existence of the [[Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem]], also learning that Nine's transformed her father's workshop into her own. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 078''</ref><br />
<br />
She was later part of the strike squadron sent to Nine's workshop. Celica watched as her sister beat Jubei throwing him at her and the others. She listened to her explanation of the world, the [[Prime Field War]], and why she had created Requiem. Celica held Jubei as Ragna fought Nine, and rushed to her sister's side when she was defeated. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref> Izanami arrived, and began assaulting the group and Celica watched as her sister used the [[Radiance of Extinguishment]] to activate Requiem and bind Izanami – she watched as her only sister died saving her, and was teleported out of the workshop using her sorcery to force Rachel into using hers, greatly reducing the time she had left in the world. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 66(B).png|thumb|right|Celica's time runs out]]They arrived at the [[Celica A. Mercury's Church|church]], although Celica was unconscious. Minerva carried her inside to a bed. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 083''</ref> She awoke the following morning and made everyone breakfast and tea despite feeling generally odd. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 085''</ref> Celica gave her permission for Minerva to takedown Requiem even if it meant her dying. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 086''</ref> She watched the stars with Ragna later the night, and talked about Nine and her sacrifice. The following morning, Celica began to pass on, telling Ragna, Noel, and Jin that she was proud of them all before she finally died. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 087''</ref><br />

A '''Black Beast''' is a being of unimaginable power that lusts for the destruction of everything it contacts. Numerous Beasts have existed in the world's history, but the most famous of which was one that existed during the [[Dark War]].<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
Black Beasts have two known origins - the imperfect fusion of an [[Azure Grimoire]] with a [[Boundary Interface Prime Field Device]] or as a primordial and malevolent being that exists within the [[Boundary]].<br />
<br />
The earliest known appearance of a Black Beast was before recorded history. Lulled by the [[Azure Shrine Maiden]], it emerged from a [[cauldron]] within [[Wadatsumi]], Japan. Before it could harm the world, the Maiden lured it back into the Boundary, sacrificing herself to prevent calamity. This land was later protected by her descendants, the [[Amanohokosaka Clan]], for millennia.<ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Es & Hinata Route Episode 7''</ref><br />
<br />
When humanity had enough of the [[Prime Field War]], they created a Black Beast to ensure their victory in the pursuit of the [[Azure]]. They could use the [[Takamagahara System]] to rewind time after having claimed the Azure, reversing the damage and even birth of the Beast. This plan never came to fruition, however, as [[The Origin]] used the [[Amaterasu Unit]] to create a new world.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref><br />
<br />
On December 31st, 2099AD, a Black Beast appeared, having fallen into a cauldron in 2199AD and being sent back in time - this Beast was created by the fusion of [[Nu-13]] and [[Ragna the Bloodedge]] and is the most infamous of all the Beasts to have appeared. It destroyed Japan before making its way across Eurasia, beginning the [[Dark War]]. This long and bloody war lasted for over 10 years before the [[Six Heroes]] finally defeated it. This Black Beast destroyed the world's ecosystem and over half of the world's population, radically changing the world around it. [[Ars Magus]], the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]], [[Nox Nyctores|Nox Nyctores']], [[Hierarchical City|Hierarchical Cities]], and much more all came into being because of the Black Beast. It was personally slain by [[Hakumen]] with the [[Interfectum Malus: Ookami]].<ref>''[[Innocent Black]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Black Beasts lust after the destruction of everything that they come across. They are not senseless, however, and are extremely smart, being capable of battle tactics and learning from their encounters. Their bodies endlessly spew seithr, and wherever seithr is, a Black Beast can teleport to, generating a circle similar to that seen in [[sorcery]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 6 - Promised Azure''</ref> What makes a Beast truly terrifying, however, is that it exists outside of [[Logic]], making it impervious to nearly anything that is not an [[Art]. It has an incredible physical strength that can destroy anything it contacts, and has both a seemingly infinite amount of stamina and a limitless threshold for pain.<br />
<br />
Wherever a Black Beast appears, there exists the probability of a '''{{h|Remnant}}''' appearing from that location in the future. Remnants are not as powerful as the Beast but are still powerful enough to effortlessly defeat [[Jubei]] and Ragna when neither were equipped with appropriate weapons.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 2 - Destructive Black''</ref><br />
<br />
The appearance of Black Beasts are simple. They are creatures that tower above cities, have eight serpentine heads filled with rows of sharp teeth, and bodies that are pure black with red lines. Their main bodies are masses of seithr with numerous tentacles protruding from underneath.<br />

''January, 2100. The dark creature appeared out of nowhere right on top of Japan. In reality, it was a high concentration of seithr, but its outwardly appearance earns itself the name, the Black Beast.''<br />

<div>[[File:BlazBlue_Calamity_Trigger_Hakumen_Arcade_02.png|400px|thumb|right|Black Beast and Six Heroes]]<br />
The '''Dark War''' (暗黒大戦 ''Ankoku Taisen''), also known as the '''First War of [[Ars Magus]]''' (第一次魔道対戦 ''Daiichiji Madō Taisen''), was a world-wide conflict in which humanity, [[vampire|vampires]], [[beastkin]], [[Demi-Human|demi-humans]], and [[Kaka]] fought against the [[Black Beast]]. It started on January 1st, 2100AD and ended 10 years later on January 1st, 2110.<br />
<br />
The brutality of the Dark War led to the death of over half the world's population as well as the development of Ars Magus and the [[Hierarchical City|Hierarchical Cities]]. Scars left from the war are still felt across the world even 90 years after its conclusion.<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
Several events prelude the beginning of the Dark War. Scientists [[Relius Clover]] and [[Shuichiro Ayatsuki]] partnered together with [[Yuuki Terumi]] to develop a [[Kusanagi]] which was to be used to kill [[The Origin]] and the [[Amaterasu Unit]]. During this time, Shuichiro developed the [[Kushinada's Lynchpin]] should their experiment fail. On December 31st, 2099AD, the experiment failed and a Black Beast was born instead within the [[First District]] - it killed Terumi's current host, devoured Relius, and grievously injured Shuichiro before escaping to the outside world. This is what the scientists and the world at the time believed. In reality, the Black Beast was actually a fused [[Nu-13]] and [[Ragna the Bloodedge]] that were sent back in time from December 31st, 2199AD to just before the [[Looping World]] begun. <br />
<br />
The Black Beast's first recorded appearance was in Kantō, Japan, and it annihilated the country's population. The United Nations held an international summit meeting shortly afterwards and concluded that the only solution that they knew was to obliterate the country using a '''{{h|nuclear attack}}'''.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Prologue''</ref> These attacks failed to even scratch the Beast's hide and it went on to spread across the world. Before the nuclear strikes, some of the population was evacuated, including a tribe of cat-type beastkin that included [[Jubei]], [[Tomonori]], and Munefuyu. Jubei later allowed an unknown country to use his genes to develop the Kaka in an attempt to combat the Beast - the country was one of Beast's many victims. <br />
<br />
The [[Magister's City of Ishana]] was untouched by the Beast since no [[seithr]] entered the city's atmosphere. A woman called Konoe Mercury, the oldest daughter of Shuichiro, was appointed [[Nine the Phantom]] of the [[Ten Sages]]; she held absolute authority over matters concerning the Black Beast and Dark War in Ishana. [[Clavis Alucard]], the head of the [[Alucard Clan]] was aware of a student in Ishana called [[Kazuma Kval]], who was designed as a vessel for Terumi. The failures of Nine, Clavis, Tomonori, and Clavis' butler [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]] led to the resurrection of Terumi in 2106AD.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 6 - Night of Black Betrayal''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase 0 Novel Illustration 02.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ragna's sacrifice]]<br />
[[Celica A. Mercury]], the youngest daughter of Shuichiro, ventured to Japan to find her father in 2106AD. In February of 2200, [[Rachel Alucard]] sent Ragna back in time to the Dark War where he lost his memories and met Celica.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 1 - Lost White''</ref> The two, alongside Jubei, Nine, and [[Trinity Glassfille]], found the First District and watched Shuichiro die after introducing them to the Kushinada's Lynchpin. The group refused to use it since it required Celica's sacrifice, and they were attacked by the Black Beast itself. Ragna threw himself into the Beast and managed to stall it for one year as he fought against a version of Nu that resided within it. It was around this time that Clavis passed away, making Rachel the new head of the Alucard Clan.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 6 - Promised Azure''</ref><br />
<br />
Humanity and the world were given one year to find a way to develop something that could combat the Black Beast and end the war. Nine had already begun development on the fusion of [[magic]] and science before the war, and focused her efforts. She began training humans who had the highest aptitude with this fusion of magic and science, which she called [[Ars Magus]]. She recruited Terumi, binding him to her will with [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]] - his immense knowledge on seithr and the Beast helped develop Ars Magus. By this time, Nine had recruited five other warriors into a group dedicated to ending the war. This group included Nine herself, Trinity, Terumi, Jubei, Valkenhayn, and [[Hakumen]] - they would be known to history as the [[Six Heroes]]. Before his recruitment, Hakumen attempted to take on the Beast by himself, but was defeated.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction Official Setting Material Collection/Chronology''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_2_Novel_Illustration_08.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Rematch]]<br />
Nations who knew the wrath of the Beast had their representatives sheltered in Ishana, which led to tensions between them and the representatives of countries who were not sheltered.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 1 - White Blade, A Flower''</ref> Nine had developed several weapons around this time, including the [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]] and [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]]. She stopped development on the former weapon, and both [[Seven]] and [[Eight]] took it upon themselves to continue the weapon's development.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 2 - Purple Ones, Their Theory''</ref> [[Demi-Human|Demi-humans]] were developed as weapons against the Beast, introducing a new species to the world's political climate.<br />
<br />
Around this time, the [[Orbis Librarius Norma]] also sprung into existence, working in the shadows. Nirvana was given to Celica as her bodyguard, and the Heroes began to prepare to ambush the Beast for when it came out of its slumber. Terumi made humanity aware of the location of every single cauldron, and the ones in Eastern Europe were paid the most attention to as they leaked the most amount of seithr. Rachel told the Heroes that the Beast would appear wherever Celica was because Ragna's soul was sleeping within it. <br />
<br />
At a desert in the Eastern Europe, Nine rallied together the armies of the surviving countries as well as Ishana's mages and the strongest Ars Magus aptitude candidates. This was the first time Ars Magus was used on a large scale. When the Beast arrived, it was much larger than its previous appearance. Hakumen personally battled the Beast but was effortlessly batted away. Nine, Jubei, and their battalions covered him as he recovered. Seven and Eight prematurely ended the battle by summoning Take-Mikazuchi to Celica's location, draining her of her power, but giving the weapon even control to not only attack the Black Beast, but repel it, signalling the first ever victory against the Beast.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 5 - Black Beast, Reappears''</ref><br />
<br />
When the Black Beast was defeated, it began to deflate, becoming the size and shape of a man - it was the Ragna that had become the Beast after being sent back in time. Hakumen personally saw to the death of the Beast, walking up to it and decapitating it with [[Interfectum Malus: Ookami]].<ref>''[[Innocent Black]]''</ref><br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Central_Fiction_Story_Mode_37(A).png|thumb|left|250px|Dogs were one species mutated by seithr]]<br />
The seithr that was dispersed from the Black Beast's body flooded the entire world, suffocating areas in a lower altitude. Flora and fauna caught in the seithr were either killed or mutated; the immediate aftermath of the Dark War was arguably as destructive as the war itself. The Earth's ecosystem was destroyed, giving birth to new and never before seen creatures. The OLN merged with the [[Mage's Guild]] to become the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]], which established the [[vigilante]] system. Vigilantes were used to help secure the deadly world for the remnants of society.<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Teach Me, Miss Litchi! Episode 3 - The Shorty and the Hard Guy''</ref><br />
<br />
Almost immediately following the aftermath of the war, Celica became a nun. Jubei and Nine erected [[Celica A. Mercury's Church]] over the site where the Black Beast died. Nine and Jubei were later married in the church and had a child together - [[Kokonoe]]. A short time later, Nine realised the truth of Looping World and the [[Prime Field War]], so she began the creation on the 11th [[Nox Nyctores]], the [[Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem]]. Terumi later destroyed Nine's happiness as Kazuma convinced Trinity to unbind the Mind Eater that had been applied on them. Terumi threw Nine into the [[Boundary]], citing her as knowing too much, and then threw Trinity in after her; Trinity, however, sealed her soul into [[Arma Reboare: Muchourin]] before her body's demise.<br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Ragna the Bloodedge Story Mode 04.png|250px|thumb|right|Hierarchical Cities were constructed]]<br />
Both Jubei and Hakumen later fought against Terumi. Hakumen sacrificed himself to drag Terumi into the Boundary, killing Kazuma, and leaving Jubei and Valkenhayn as the only surviving members of the [[Six Heroes]]. Valkenhayn left society to tend to the [[Alucard Castle]] as Rachel went into a deep slumber, but remained in contact with Jubei.<ref>''[[Scarlett Rose]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Humanity, beastkin, and demi-humans moved onto the mountaintops of the world where the seithr had not settled. Using the basis of Ishana and Ars Magus, society created the [[Hierarchical City|Hierarchical Cities]], large NOL-governed cities with artificial environments designed for the remaining civilization to flourish. Some cities also survived the war, such as Shanghai<ref>''Litchi Faye-Ling Official Profile''</ref>, while other cities were created far from the NOL's grasp. Before having been thrown into the Boundary, Nine had released the cores of some of the Nox Nyctores, sealing [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]] underneath the [[4th Hierarchical City of Naobi]].<br />
<br />
Society greatly changed after the war. Although beastkin and demi-humans were accepted into human society, they were treated as less than second-class citizens - combined with a growing number of people who struggled to use Ars Magus over those who could, the new society ruled over by the NOL and their strict governing over [[Grimoire|Grimoires]] led to a growing friction between commoners and officials.<br />
<br />
Over time, certain parts of the world before the Dark War were forgotten. The United Nations, Japan, and nuclear weapons were largely forgotten by a society that came to heavily rely on Ars Magus. This led to the birth of [[Sector Seven]] as they remained true to science. The Kaka were also forgotten largely by society, being dumped into the bottom of the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]]. [[Sorcery]], magic, the Mage's Guild, and the Ten Sages were also forgotten by society, and very few could use the two aforementioned arts; the availability of [[alchemy]], however, is debatable.<br />

Professor '''Kokonoe Mercury''' (ココノエ=マーキュリー) is a leading member of [[Sector Seven]], the daughter of two of the [[Six Heroes]], [[Jubei]] and [[Nine the Phantom]] and niece of [[Celica A. Mercury]]. She is an accomplished scientist and helped organize the coup d'etat to put [[Homura Amanohokosaka]] on the throne of the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]]. Kokonoe is nearly always seen communicating with [[Iron Tager]].<br />
<br />
Kokonoe first appeared as an NPC in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]'' and was made playable as the second DLC character for ''[[BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Kokonoe is a slim, pale cat-type [[Half-Beastkin|half-beastkin]]. Her hair is bright pink and tied into two pigtails with a yellow ribbon, while two parts of her hair form large "ears" over her chubby, pink cat-like ears. Large bags rest under her amber eyes from lack of sleep, and she wears small glasses over her nose. Kokonoe wears a modified [[Kaka]]-style hoodie, which is pure white with black lines running down its sides; on the paws of this jacket are three red dots and three black lines, possibly symbolising knuckles and claws. The jacket is open at Kokonoe's midriff, showing her navel and the top of a black thong. Underneath her jacket, Kokonoe wears a black sports bra. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Alter Memory, Episode 08 - The Mechanical Soul''</ref> <br />
<br />
Her quarter-length jeans are bright red with green rims, and are fastened onto her hips with a black belt with a large bell hanging from the center - underneath this bell is the strap for the belt. Kokonoe's look is finished with white wedge sandals, large golden bracelets on both wrists, and her signature lollipop. Kokonoe also has two pink tails with white tips.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|She is usually in a bad mood and acts very unfriendly and listless. Also, she's a Mad Scientist. She researches without end and skips even sleep, able to continue only because of the special candy she's always licking to maintain her strength.<ref name="bbcf-kokonoe-personality-jp"/><ref name="bbcpex-kokonoe"/><ref name="bbcpex-kokonoe-eu"/>}}<br />
<br />
The definition of grouchy, Kokonoe is nearly always in a foul mood and ready to let anyone know about it. She is stubborn, sharp, and cocky to the point of hubris. However, every vice she possesses is backed by considerable skill and knowledge across many subjects. From metaphysics to bionics and [[Ars Magus]] to chemistry, Kokonoe knows it all. However, science is Kokonoe's true love and she dedicates herself to it. Her dedication is so intense that she often forgoes sleep, and will cross moral lines with little to no hesitation. Kokonoe believes that that science is superior to Ars Magus, since there is too little information about and too few studies into Ars Magus, and she believes science is ultimately a safer power. This philosophy of hers permeates Sector Seven. <br />
<br />
Underneath her gruff exterior is a caring side, however seldom it surfaces. She cares greatly for her subordinates, and in particular for Tager, whom she shares a special bond with. The death of her [[Nine the Phantom|mother]] greatly influenced her life, and she has a deep seated hatred for [[Yuuki Terumi]], her mother's murderer. Her bond with her father, Jubei, is greatly strained and the two do not get along despite her father's efforts. For the most part, this is due to Jubei's absence during Kokonoe's upbringing.<br />
<br />
Unlike her renowned parents, Kokonoe exists within public discourse as a myth, of which little is known; not even her heritage as a half-beastkin is public knowledge. Kokonoe herself has, like others of her species, also experienced racial prejudice.<br />
<br />
There are times when Kokonoe can seem as if she is not paying attention, and most of the time, she doesn't. The easiest way to grab her attention is with something that interests her, and everything else may as well not matter. She often swears and only shows respect to those who she believes deserves it, regardless of their status; even [[Rachel Alucard]] and [[Hakumen]], despite their feats in history, are not safe from her sharp tongue. <br />
<br />
According to Tager, she has an addiction to [[Silvervine Candy|silvervine candy]]. Like her mother, Kokonoe is nearly always seen consuming sugary delights, especially sweetened coffee, the aforementioned Silvervine, and [[wikipedia:Ferrero Rocher|Ferrero Rochers]], the last of which is her favorite among all. Due to this sweet tooth, Kokonoe collects various types of sweets from around the world in her spare time.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Even though she is reluctant to commit to combat and does her best to personally avoid it, Kokonoe is competent in it. She uses various machines of her own design to help her best her opponents, including two exploding gauntlets and a large hammer with a drill on the head. She can summon either at will. Among her inventions also includes a small gun which fires a large ball of fire, a gun that shoots ice, a machine gun, and a large rocket, if only to name a few. During a fight, her in game [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Graviton}}''', which allows the control of gravity with a small device; however, these only last so long.<br />
<br />
As Kokonoe rarely actually fights, she spends much of her time assisting Tager on missions, making her a competent coordinator for him. She can easily hack the mainframe of the NOL and surveillance cameras. Even when both Tager and Lambda were given to her in states of near death, she was able to resurrect both of them with science alone, although the methods used were morally dubious.<br />
<br />
Despite being personally against the use of Ars Magus and [[sorcery]], Kokonoe is skilled in both, having a natural talent for them as Nine's daughter. She has to be pushed to her extremes in order to use either, however, but she has enough latent sorcery power to seal the core of a Nox Nyctores, and enough Ars Magus aptitude to actually wield one. Her own ability in Ars Magus is so great that she created a sealing mechanism that not only kept Hakumen bound, but gave Rachel difficulty in undoing. Kokonoe also has incredible natural instincts, owing to her feline heritage, and will always land on her feet after a fall.<br />
<br />
There are, however, a few weaknesses that Kokonoe possesses. At times, her cockiness can cloud her judgement and cause a fatal error, and despite her powerful bloodline, her body is weaker than both Nine's and Jubei's. As she is always pushing her body to its limits with Silvervine to constantly stay awake, she would inevitably collapse without it.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Ikaruga Civil War==<br />
Lambda's corpse was left in Ibukido in a coffin next to [[Mu-12]] and [[Nu-13]]. Lambda was eventually left alone in the rubble, as Mu was rescued and adopted, and Nu was retrieved by the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]]. [[Iron Tager]] later found Lambda under the orders of [[Kokonoe]]. He took her back to [[Sector Seven]] before she began to rot, and Kokonoe managed to bring her back from her death, but refused to bring back her memories since they would be too painful. <Ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Iron Tager Short Story - Trust You''</ref><br />

Kokonoe first appeared as an NPC in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]'' and was made playable as the second DLC character for ''[[BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Kokonoe is a slim, pale cat-type [[Half-Beastkin|half-beastkin]]. Her hair is bright pink and tied into two pigtails with a yellow ribbon, while two parts of her hair form large "ears" over her chubby, pink cat-like ears. Large bags rest under her amber eyes from lack of sleep, and she wears small glasses over her nose. Kokonoe wears a modified [[Kaka]]-style hoodie, which is pure white with black lines running down its sides; on the paws of this jacket are three red dots and three black lines, possibly symbolising knuckles and claws. The jacket is open at Kokonoe's midriff, showing her navel and the top of a black thong. Underneath her jacket, Kokonoe wears a black sports bra. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Alter Memory, Episode 08 - The Mechanical Soul''</ref> <br />
<br />
Her quarter-length jeans are bright red with green rims, and are fastened onto her hips with a black belt with a large bell hanging from the center - underneath this bell is the strap for the belt. Kokonoe's look is finished with white wedge sandals, large golden bracelets on both wrists, and her signature lollipop. Kokonoe also has two pink tails with white tips.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|She is usually in a bad mood and acts very unfriendly and listless. Also, she's a Mad Scientist. She researches without end and skips even sleep, able to continue only because of the special candy she's always licking to maintain her strength.<ref name="bbcf-kokonoe-personality-jp"/><ref name="bbcpex-kokonoe"/><ref name="bbcpex-kokonoe-eu"/>}}<br />
<br />
The definition of grouchy, Kokonoe is nearly always in a foul mood and ready to let anyone know about it. She is stubborn, sharp, and cocky to the point of hubris. However, every vice she possesses is backed by considerable skill and knowledge across many subjects. From metaphysics to bionics and [[Ars Magus]] to chemistry, Kokonoe knows it all. However, science is Kokonoe's true love and she dedicates herself to it. Her dedication is so intense that she often forgoes sleep, and will cross moral lines with little to no hesitation. Kokonoe believes that that science is superior to Ars Magus, since there is too little information about and too few studies into Ars Magus, and she believes science is ultimately a safer power. This philosophy of hers permeates Sector Seven. <br />
<br />
Underneath her gruff exterior is a caring side, however seldom it surfaces. She cares greatly for her subordinates, and in particular for Tager, whom she shares a special bond with. The death of her [[Nine the Phantom|mother]] greatly influenced her life, and she has a deep seated hatred for [[Yuuki Terumi]], her mother's murderer. Her bond with her father, Jubei, is greatly strained and the two do not get along despite her father's efforts. For the most part, this is due to Jubei's absence during Kokonoe's upbringing.<br />
<br />
Unlike her renowned parents, Kokonoe exists within public discourse as a myth, of which little is known; not even her heritage as a half-beastkin is public knowledge. Kokonoe herself has, like others of her species, also experienced racial prejudice.<br />
<br />
There are times when Kokonoe can seem as if she is not paying attention, and most of the time, she doesn't. The easiest way to grab her attention is with something that interests her, and everything else may as well not matter. She often swears and only shows respect to those who she believes deserves it, regardless of their status; even [[Rachel Alucard]] and [[Hakumen]], despite their feats in history, are not safe from her sharp tongue. <br />
<br />
According to Tager, she has an addiction to [[Silvervine Candy|silvervine candy]]. Like her mother, Kokonoe is nearly always seen consuming sugary delights, especially sweetened coffee, the aforementioned Silvervine, and [[wikipedia:Ferrero Rocher|Ferrero Rochers]], the last of which is her favorite among all. Due to this sweet tooth, Kokonoe collects various types of sweets from around the world in her spare time.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Even though she is reluctant to commit to combat and does her best to personally avoid it, Kokonoe is competent in it. She uses various machines of her own design to help her best her opponents, including two exploding gauntlets and a large hammer with a drill on the head. She can summon either at will. Among her inventions also includes a small gun which fires a large ball of fire, a gun that shoots ice, a machine gun, and a large rocket, if only to name a few. During a fight, her in game [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Graviton}}''', which allows the control of gravity with a small device; however, these only last so long.<br />
<br />
As Kokonoe rarely actually fights, she spends much of her time assisting Tager on missions, making her a competent coordinator for him. She can easily hack the mainframe of the NOL and surveillance cameras. Even when both Tager and Lambda were given to her in states of near death, she was able to resurrect both of them with science alone, although the methods used were morally dubious.<br />
<br />
Despite being personally against the use of Ars Magus and [[sorcery]], Kokonoe is skilled in both, having a natural talent for them as Nine's daughter. She has to be pushed to her extremes in order to use either, however, but she has enough latent sorcery power to seal the core of a Nox Nyctores, and enough Ars Magus aptitude to actually wield one. Her own ability in Ars Magus is so great that she created a sealing mechanism that not only kept Hakumen bound, but gave Rachel difficulty in undoing. Kokonoe also has incredible natural instincts, owing to her feline heritage, and will always land on her feet after a fall.<br />
<br />
There are, however, a few weaknesses that Kokonoe possesses. At times, her cockiness can cloud her judgement and cause a fatal error, and despite her powerful bloodline, her body is weaker than both Nine's and Jubei's. As she is always pushing her body to its limits with Silvervine to constantly stay awake, she would inevitably collapse without it.<br />

Professor '''Kokonoe Mercury''' (ココノエ=マーキュリー) is a leading member of [[Sector Seven]] and the daughter of two of the [[Six Heroes]] [[Jubei]] and [[Nine the Phantom]]. She is an accomplished scientist and helped organize the coup d'etat to put [[Homura Amanohokosaka]] on the throne of the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]]. Kokonoe is nearly always seen communicating with [[Iron Tager]].<br />

'''Nine the Phantom''' (ナイン=ザ=ファントム), born '''Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury''' (ノエ=アヤツキ=マーキュリー) and historically known as the '''Great Magister Nine''', was one of the [[Six Heroes]], the creator of [[Ars Magus]], the [[Nox Nyctores]] and a hailed figure across the world. She was the older sister of [[Celica A. Mercury]], wife to [[Jubei]] and mother of [[Kokonoe]]. Nine was known for her incredible talent with both [[magic]] and [[sorcery]] which she used in great efforts to keep her family safe.<br />

Nine, as '''"Me"''' ("わたし"), is one of the main protagonists of ''[[XBlaze Lost: Memories]]'' and first appeared as '''Phantom''' (ファントム) in ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]''. Nine was finally made playable in ''[[BlazBlue: Central Fiction]]'' where she is the final boss of Arcade's Act I.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Nine is a woman with a voluptuous figure, yellow eyes, and long vibrant pink hair that covers her left eye. As a child her hair was in a side ponytail and as Nine the Phantom her sclera turns black.<br />
<br />
As a child Nine wore a white button up shirt with purple cuffs along with a purple vest dress with gold accents and two black braces that hung from the bottom. Along with this uniform she wore brown tights and purple shoes. As Konoe she wore a big purple witch hat and a [[Mage's Guild]] uniform while during the Dark War she wore a white button up sleeveless top with a purple tie, a black coat which was loosened at the shoulders and had one green strap on each sleeve, and black and gold stockings with black high heels. As Phantom she wore a high collar purple cloak with a red zig-zag pattern, a white to red gradient scarf, and a new designed purple witch hat that concealed any immediately recognizable feature of her. Finally as Nine the Phantom she wore a witch hat similar to that of Phantom's but with a magenta accented slit in it, a purple, magenta, and pink dress with detatched sleeves, a purple cloak with red on the inner side, black tights, and black heels. Also her fingers are longer and her nails have become sharper.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Harboring burning fury at the knowledge of the truth of the world and using that power to end the world, she is the owner of a fearsome will and stormy temper. With her exceptional intellect and magical power, she created the "Nox Nyctores" and "Ars Magus." She dotes upon her younger sister Celica, and won't forgive anyone who would harm her.<ref name="bbcf-nine-personality-jp"/>}}<br />
<br />
Belligerent, openly hostile to anyone except those closest to her. Nine is an openly rebellious woman who defies authority while expecting others to recognise hers. Her temper is always on the verge of exploding, and she is ready to let anyone know her feelings, unable to hide her explosive rage and sharp tongue. Nine has a habit of letting others know her superiority, and she openly demonstrates her power without thinking of the consequences.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her temper, Nine has a mind sharper than many would initially believe. She is a thorough academic who has dedicated her life to sorcery, magic, Ars Magus, alchemy, and the creation of the Nox Nyctores'. Few can match both her intellect and cunning, and she is a revolutionary scientist whose discoveries, theories, and techniques have had a permanent change on the world. As a child, Nine was already considered a genius. She demonstrated a lot of patience and kindness towards [[Nobody]] and [[Es]], going far out of her way to make their lives better even though they had not known each other for long.<br />
<br />
Nine was unusually cruel to [[Kazuma Kval]] and judges people based on her initial perception of them. Although she has a good intuition of people, Nine does not readily change her opinion of anyone. Celica is one of the most important people in Nine's life, and she dotes on her young sister whenever she can. Nine will defy everyone and everything for those she loves, although for Celica, she will defy even her own daughter. She does not appreciate men approaching her little sister, thinking that they would manipulate her, and Nine has to keep a constant eye over Celica to make sure she is not in danger. Nine's relationship with her father, [[Shuichiro Ayatsuki]], is strained - she hates him, blaming him for the death of her [[Mother]], and knew even from a young age that he had plans for Celica in his experiments. Hatred does little to describe how intense her feelings towards him are. <br />
<br />
Outside of her family Nine also deeply cares for one more individual - [[Trinity Glassfille]], her best friend. Trinity is perhaps the only person that Nine will ever listen to, and at times, will even concede her own will to Trinity's. Throughout their friendship, Nine and Trinity have protected one another, but in recent years, this friendship has ended because of Nine's willingness to burn down the world for her family.<br />
<br />
Nine feels as if the world is wrong because of the [[Amaterasu Unit]] and [[The Origin]] resetting time. Everything that Nine and her comrades fought for in the [[Dark War]] means nothing because it will all be reset. Upon learning this truth, she went so far as to begin creating a replacement "God". Knowing that Celica would meet her fate at the hands of [[Yuuki Terumi]], her father unleashing the [[Black Beast]], and the suffering of her family and humanity would all be repeated for eternity sent Nine on her mission to destroy The Origin and create a new world. Although her methods were questionable, Nine was ultimately trying to save the world once more, even though her true reasons were to save Celica, and she did not care much for the rest of humanity.<br />
<br />
==Powers & Techniques==<br />
Arguably not just one of the most powerful witches of her time, but one of the strongest sorcerers in history. Nine's sorcery is as aggressive as her personality as she focuses on delivering powerful spells with little casting time. Her arsenal of spells is vast, only being limited by her imagination. Nine furthermore has a unique yet deadly ability which she has no control over: she attracts [[seithr]]. This ability is only suppressed by her imitation of the [[Origin of the Grimoire]] which is her left eye, and absorbs the seithr around her. <br />
<br />
In combat, Nine is able to rapidly deploy spells with casting time so tiny it almost seems like an instinctive reflex. She can fire a ball of light that explodes into a rain of bullets or fire gusts of wind so powerful that they can rend bone. If an opponent comes too close, Nine can generate lightning around her body to prevent them from coming closer.<ref>'' BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref> Teleportation is one of Nine's signature abilities although she initially struggled with using it at first, eventually mastering it over time and being able to teleport herself and others great distances. One of her other spells allows her to heighten her senses to the levels of [[beastkin]], giving her excellent hearing and vision which far surpasses most humans. Although she seldom fights physically, Nine has enough strength to break doors with single kicks and lift fully grown men by their collars.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 5 - Night of Black Betrayal''</ref><br />
<br />
Mastery over many spells is not just Nine's only strength in sorcery. She is keenly aware of its application in combat and outside of it. Freezing her opponent's legs<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref>, ricocheting spells off multiple surfaces to meet a target, and even using electricity to fry circuits in electric locks. <br />
<br />
Although famously known for her belligerent sorcery, Nine is also an extremely capable scientist who created [[Ars Magus]], [[Ars Armegis]], and the [[Nox Nyctores]] class weapons. She was on the verge of creating the [[Burning Red Grimoire]] which would have allowed humanity access to sorcery, but it was never completed in her lifetime. Alongside her gifts with sorcery and science, Nine was accomplished with [[alchemy]] and [[magic]], both being required for her recognition into the Ten Sages. The only [[Art]] which Nine is stated to have no mastery over is a [[Drive]]. This is reflected in gameplay where her Drive is '''{{h|The Abyss Diver}}''' but is not a reflection of her soul, instead being another way for her to cast numerous spells. In gameplay her spell arsenal gives her the most options of any playable character. Her spells here include summoning water, fire, and wind at basic levels, but her advanced spells include gravity manipulation, creating balls of electricity, creating reflecting mirrors, and summoning large tree roots to name only a few.<br />
<br />
Nine's willpower has allowed her to endure the agonising nature of the [[Boundary]] and still retain her sanity. On top of her myriad of offensive spells, Nine is capable of others such as the [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]], giving her complete control over a person's free will, something she used in great effect over [[Yuuki Terumi]] in the Dark War. She also has a contract with a demonic being called [[Hino Kagutsuchi]] which is seemingly under her complete dominion. Kagutsuchi is capable of being summoned to throw powerful kicks, punches, and generate large beams of energy.<br />
<br />
Yet despite her incredible strengths, Nine is not immortal. Her blind love of Celica means that she is easily manipulated whenever her sister is involved, and can be distracted by Celica's presence; she is also easily irritable, and her rage can lead to mistakes. Furthermore, Nine's strength in her body created by [[Relius Clover]] severely restricts the magical and sorcery based abilities she possesses, and pale in comparison with her original body's power.<br />

Shuichiro and Konoe's relationship never healed. She was enrolled into the same class as [[Kazuma Kval]] and [[Trinity Glassfille]] and begun researching how to combine magic and science. Konoe and Trinity became best friends. In 2100, she learned that the [[Black Beast]] had emerged from Japan, and that her father was the one being blamed by various organizations for its appearance; she did not know whether Shuichiro was dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_05.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Celebration]]<br />
Having excelled in her studies and contributions towards the Ishanan community and to sorcery, Konoe was chosen for the honor of becoming one of the Ten Sages, although she believed Trinity was more deserving. In a cold January morning in 2107, Konoe entered the Cathedral in the center of Ishana and was initiated into the Sages through the [[Canonization Ceremony]]. She took on her new name - Nine, and left for the courtyard outside of the building. Celica and Trinity ran up to greet and congratulate her on the position. Nine hugged Celica and promised that nothing had really changed, and the three of them decided to have lunch together to celebrate.<br />
<br />
In the cafeteria, the group found Kazuma and they ate with him. Nine threw several cold remarks towards him, not acknowledging his existence. Celica began to warm up to Kazuma, so Nine dragged her away from the table and began to tell her to not get involved with him. The two of them bickered until a nearby television began to blare its news - a Japanese survivor had been found. The two sisters were dumbfounded and rendered speechless. As Kazuma fell ill, Nine left.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 1 - Island of Green Wisdom''</ref><br />
<br />
Later that evening, Nine sensed an unusual force in downtown Ishana and ran to the location with Trinity and Celica trailing behind her. They found Kazuma next to an alley which had its ground mostly destroyed. She demanded an explanation from the boy, learning that the culprit that attacked him was a [[beastkin]]. They escorted Kazuma back to his dorm.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 2 - Cat of Crimson Sunset''</ref> Three days later, Nine again felt an unusual force, and told Trinity to investigate.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 3 - Mind of Azure Deviation''</ref><br />
<br />
Trinity invited Nine, Celica, and Kazuma to the girl's favourite cafe. There, Nine ordered coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. She poured a pitcher of milk, gomme syrup, and multiple sugar cubes into her cup until its consistency had changed into something completely different. Nine began to interrogate Celica over her grades, but then changed her gaze to Kazuma, and asked why he had spent so much time in Ishana's [[Great Library]]. The boy brought up her relation to Shuichiro, and she retorted that she was not related to the man, which only caused another argument between her and Celica. They both punched the table in anger, making Trinity's teacup fall onto her, emptying its contents. They both apologized as the girl lost her anger and chastized them both. Suddenly, Kazuma left.<br />
<br />
Trinity and Nine chased after the boy, finding him near the water's edge of Ishana. Nine interrogated him, asking what he was doing and mockingly asked if he was trying to escape, but was told that he was trying to find an acquaintance. She walked past Kazuma and saw a hole in Ishana's magical barrier - she asked him if it was the work of his "acquaintance". She left after carefully assessing his posture and returned back to the Guild to discuss the matter with other Ten Sages.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 4 - Doubt of Yellow Equilibrium''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_Shift_1_Novel_Illustration_11.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Interrogation]]<br />
In the following morning, Nine found a letter from Celica, and its contents detailed that she had escaped from Ishana to go to Japan in an attempt to find Shuichiro. Taking Trinity, she bolted to the boys dormitory and banged on Kazuma's door, screaming that she would burn it down if he didn't respond. As the door opened, Nine ran in and grabbed the boy by his collar, holding him up against the window. She screamed at him to tell her where Celica had gone and what he had done to her, but the boy answered that he did not know. Trinity convinced Nine to let him go.<br />
<br />
Deducing that Kazuma was responsible for giving Celia the idea to search for Shuichiro, Nine pinned Kazuma to the ground with her high heels as he talked back to her. Nine was ready to kill him, but was forced to relent as a message for the Ten Sages came in the form of conveying sorcery. Nine let him be, and attended to her duties. At the Cathedral, Nine listened as [[Three]] tried to make sense as to why so much seithr had suddenly appeared in Ishana. Nine bit her tongue, knowing that the reason why was because Celica was no longer on the island, and the tear in the barrier was only making it worse. She organized the Sages and was put in charge of eliminating the seithr in Ishana while others repaired the barrier. <br />
<br />
Nine learned that Trinity had been injured, and ran to her dorm after completing the seithr eradication. She talked with Trinity over the restoration of the barrier, winking at her and telling Trinity to not underestimate the Ten Sages. Nine had also learned that Kazuma had entered the Cathedral but had disappeared.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 6 - Voice of Emerald Evil''</ref><br />
<br />
Celica's escape from Ishana weighed heavily on Nine's mind. Together with Trinity, Nine left Ishana and tracked Celica to Kantō, Japan. There on a rocky trail, she finally found Celica, but she was with a young man with a red jacket. Getting the wrong impression, Nine attacked the man with her sorcery. Taking Celica to the side, Nine began to berate her for being with a strange man, turning to give him a fierce look. The argument between Nine and Celica eventually turned away from the odd man and onto Celica's search for their father. Nine was told by Celica and the odd man, who she learned is [[Ragna the Bloodedge]], that they were destined for the [[First District]] because that is where they believed Shuichiro would be. Reluctantly, she and Trinity decided to travel with them both, at least to keep Celica safe.<br />
<br />
When the group arrived at the District, Nine took an interest at the dusty runes that decorated the building, noting that it had been created with a combination of science and magic, something she had spent time researching. They eventually discovered an elevator that would allow them access to the floors below; the group used it, but the wires snapped and Ragna was sent hurtling into the abyss after saving Celica from the fall. The remaining women journeyed below on foot to find him, but were met by a knight in white armor. Nine and this knight were at a standstill until he left, remarking that he would not slay fragile humans. After searching a little longer in the area, they found Ragna, who told them the knight's name - [[Hakumen]]. After searching for a short while, they found a hidden door near a [[cauldron]].<Ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 4 - Chance-met Silver''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_0_Novel_Illustration_11.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Battle for Kushinada]]<br />
Nine disabled the locks to the doors using electric sorcery and the group found a solitary room with a large lynchpin in its center. Nine quickly scanned the numerous research papers across desks, finding it to be in her father's handwriting. She continued reading, discovering that the lynchpin is called [[Kushinada's Lynchpin]] and that it had the power to stop the Black Beast at a cost - the [[soul]] of someone with exceptional control over life - Celica. Disgusted, she threw the papers onto the ground, stomping onto them with all her might until Celica begged her to stop. Out of the corner of the lab came Shuichiro himself. Nine screamed at Celica to get away from him. The scientist clawed at his youngest daughter until Nine threw him against a nearby wall with a powerful shockwave. Moments later, Shuichiro died - it is unknown if either [[seithr]] poisoning or Nine's attack was the cause of his death.<br />
<br />
Staying silent as Celica cried over Shuichiro's death, Nine launched a bolt of sorcery at the Lynchpin, but the moment was interrupted by [[Mitsuyoshi]], who had overheard the events that had just transpired. Nine and the beastkin stood on opposite ends of the conflict - the witch wanted to avoid using the Lynchpin while the beastkin believed it was the only way to end the war. The two began to battle, with Nine using a myriad of spells to keep Mitsuyoshi at bay until he closed the distance. Unleashing electricity from her body, she was able to push Mitsuyoshi away from her, and the two complimented one another's abilities before continuing to clash. Celica finally interrupted the fight by standing between the combatants; the battle stopped, and Nine and Mitsuyoshi lowered their stances as Trinity helped ease the situation.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 5 - Sealed Green''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue_Phase_0_Novel_Illustration_12.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"''Watch out for the guy named Yuuki Terumi''"]]<br />
Nine, with Celica and Mitsuyoshi, had tea brewed by Trinity. She listened to Celica's speech as she told them her determination to save the people she loves. She was unhappy with Celica's decision, but couldn't bring herself to find the words to interrupt until it finally became too much and she lamented at her sister's choice. Nine was drowning in sorrow as she was unable to stop Celica's resolve, but it was thanks to Ragna that her sister's decision was nullified. Both Nine and Ragna left the room, and she thanked the Grim Reaper for stopping her sister's decision. Ragna gave her three points: that the Black Beast was going to stop for one year; that she had to gather humanity; and to watch out for a man called [[Yuuki Terumi]]. Their conversation was ended as Nine sensed something approaching - the Black Beast.<br />
<br />
Celica, Trinity, and Nine had decided to evacuate the area, knowing that they could not stand a chance of victory. Nine chanted and focused her mind on a distant location, preparing to use teleportation. Both Ragna and Mitsuyoshi chose to stay behind to buy the women some time to escape. The trio escaped, and found themselves in the [[Alucard Castle]] some time later. Nine became familiar here with [[Rachel Alucard]] and [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]], and learned that the previous head of the family, [[Clavis Alucard]] had just died. Mitsuyoshi eventually arrived at the Castle and revealed that Ragna had been swallowed by the Beast.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Chapter 6 - Promised Azure''</ref><br />
<br />
With Mitsuyoshi and Valkenhayn, Nine entered the depths of the Alucard Castle. Venturing deep within and unsealing each magical barrier erected by Clavis, Nine found Terumi, the possessor of Kazuma's body and who Ragna had warned her about earlier. She was shocked and disgusted when she saw that the body was Kazuma's. She kicked him to the floor and used [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]] on him, turning the man into her slave. The group then left the prison.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Prologue''</ref><br />
<br />
In the months following the events in the First District, Nine had feverishly begun on the development of Ars Magus, working tirelessly and even teaching it to some of humanity. At some point she built the foundations of [[Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi]], but stopped after realising its incredible power. Fellow Sages, [[Seven]] and [[Eight]] continued building it against her wishes, however, leading to conflict between them. Nine had also assembled a team of six warriors, including herself. These warriors included: Hakumen, Mitsuyoshi (who had changed his name to Jubei), Trinity, Valkenhayn, and Terumi. Jubei and Nine also began a relationship around this time period, and Nine begun development on the [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]], an automaton that could protect Celica while she was busy working.<br />
<br />
In August, eight months after the events in the First District, the six warriors, who would later be known as the [[Six Heroes]], listened to Trinity talk about the growing tensions between representatives of each nation. She had no interest in their politics, instead talking about the difficulty she was having with Ars Magus and humanity's ability to handle seithr. Nine had created two weapons with a combination of alchemy and sorcery which she had given to Trinity and Jubei. Terumi attempted to mock her, but Nine told him to be quiet, something he had to obey thanks to Mind Eater. The meeting was cut short when they noticed Hakumen had slipped out of it.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 1 - White Blade, A Flower''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 05.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Flirtatious teasing]]<br />
Together with the others, Nine found Hakumen with Celica. She hugged her younger sister, but spoke down to Hakumen, reminding him that he had to be part of their meetings since he held the power needed to truly deal damage to the Black Beast. Celica apologised, stating that she was the reason for his absence, but was interrupted by Terumi. Nine directed a cold stare at the man, leagues different from what she had directed at Hakumen earlier. She commanded him to be silent, and was interested in Trinity's suggestion that they have tea together. Although not interested in tea with the others, Nine flirted with Jubei, easily embarrassing him; they were found by Seven and Eight, who expressed discomfort at Nine bringing strangers into the Mage's Guild.<br />
<br />
The group dispersed, with only Nine and Celica remaining in the Guild's courtyard with the two other Sages. Nine's cold rebuttals towards Eight's snarky comments managed to rile up the Sage until Seven diffused the situation. They both asked for Celica's assistance in their research, which Nine knew involved Take-Mikazuchi. She told them both that she would not allow Celica to be involved, shooting them a glare that made them both wince. Further cementing her resolve, Nine commanded that they stop their development on the weapon. The older sister dragged Celica away from her fellow Sages, not wanting to hear more of the discussion. As they walked away, Nine told Celica that the weapon they were attempting to finish was a failure, and that she would definitely protect her younger sister.<br />
<br />
Both Nine and Celica found the cafe that Jubei and Trinity were in. They sat down, and Nine immediately began to tease her boyfriend over his green tea, poking his fur and teasing him over the fact that he cannot drink the tea hot. She then ordered a coffee and as much gum syrup as possible before subjecting her beverage to a barrage of sugar. Terumi then entered the cafe, souring the group's mood - Nine asked him where he had been, finding satisfaction in his answer. Celica accidentally pulled at Jubei's tales, making him flip the table and sending Nine's coffee all over Trinity. Both sisters stood up and began apologizing as fast as possible; Nine pulled Jubei into their ritual, warning him of the consequences if he didn't.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 2 - Purple Ones, Their Theory''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 06.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Nirvana's assignment]]<br />
As they left the cafe, Nine asked Celica if she had hurt herself when the table flipped, and she innocently showed her sister her thighs. Nine slapped her sister's hand away and began to lecture her about lecherous men. Terumi muttered a comment on Nine indulging in too many fantasies and she kicked him as hard as she possibly could, making the man crumple to the ground. Jubei bid them goodbye, and Nine asked Celica to come with her to the workshop, hinting at a present for her. When they arrived, Nine directed her to a corner of the workshop, showing the [[Deus Machina: Nirvana]]. Nine revealed that Nirvana was built to protect Celica. The younger sister questioned about having a bodyguard so Nine reminded her that she ran away from Ishana and caused a great deal of trouble for everyone. Shortly afterwards, Nine chanted a spell to make Nirvana recognise Celica as the target she must protect. As Celica bounded away upstairs to prepare dinner with her new guardian, Nine opened up a hidden section in her workshop, revealing Kushinada's Lynchpin behind it. She lamented over having to use the power of the Lynchpin.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 3 - Scarlet Guardian, the Doll''</ref><br />
<br />
Together with the other Six Heroes, Nine formulated a plan to launch a sneak attack on the Black Beast as soon as it awoke from its slumber. They knew it would come from one of the cauldrons in Eastern Europe although were unsure were exactly which one it would come from. Nine insisted that Celica be present in the meeting since she was wary of Seven and Eight's plans for her. The witch asked Valkenhayn if they could rely on Rachel to teleport their units across the battlefield, but the vampire herself appeared to deny the request. Nine furrowed her brow and asked if the fate of humanity was just a game to the girl, unaware that Rachel herself could not intervene even if she wanted to. They learned from Rachel, however, that the Beast was likely to appear wherever Celica would be.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 4 - Indigo Heart, the Conception''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Phase Shift 2 Novel Illustration 09.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Take-Mikazuchi's aftermath]]<br />
Celica insisted that she act as a decoy, and Nine, although angry, eventually gave into the idea so long as Nirvana and Hakumen were guarding her. The heroes arrived in Eastern Europe with Ars Magus battalions gathered from across the world. Nine surveyed her surroundings - a barren desert with no vegetation nor water for miles - and was given reassurance from Trinity that Celica would be okay. Given command over the Ars Magus unit that were made from the best aptitude candidates in the world, Nine turned to the battlefield. When the Black Beast finally appeared, she lost her breath.<br />
<br />
Hakumen was knocked away by the Beast and both Nine and her battalion covered him with lightning strikes. She saw an unusual circle appear near Celica and teleported back to headquarters, finding Trinity and amplified her vision, finding both Seven and Eight beside the girl and summoning the Take-Mikazuchi. She watched as Take-Mikazuchi forced the Beast to retreat from the raw power it demonstrated, but that was none of her concern, all Nine cared about was Celica. Running to the top of the hill where Celica lay unconscious, Nine found her in Nirvana's arms. She carried her sister as the other Six Heroes came to her side. Still in shock, Nine explained that it was a [[Nox Nyctores]], something that she had created.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 2, Chapter 5 - Black Beast, Reappears''</ref><br />
<br />
At the end of the Dark War, Nine and Jubei helped Celica build a [[Celica A. Mercury's Church|church]] over the remains of the final battle with the Black Beast. There, they revealed that they wanted to get married at the church, and the three of them sat down with tea to discuss the wedding together, happily drinking tea gifted by Trinity.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase 0, Epilogue''</ref><br />

Alongside [[Hazama]], Nine watched as [[Meifang Lapislazuli]] fought against [[Mai Natsume]] and [[Jin Kisaragi]] near the cauldron in the [[11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu]]. She saw the event through, watching as Meifang, even with her army of [[Fuzzy]], lost against the duo. With the Colonel's failed attempt to turn herself into a Nox Nyctores, Nine left with the unsatisfied Hazama.<ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 18''</ref><br />

Phantom was given the objective of dealing with Take-Mikazuchi by Izanami. She joined the Imperator as they went to the burned remains of Celica's church. Both Ragna and Rachel were there, and she pinned the vampire to the ground using [[Gravity Seed]]. When Ragna lunged at Izanami, Phantom bound him, restricting his movement. Both Phantom and the Imperator teleported away on Izanami's command. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 1: Unexpected Encounters''</ref><br />
<br />
Hazama later commanded Phantom to teleport Ragna and Hakumen to different locations, and she sent Ragna to battle against [[Nu-13]]. This event was undone by Izanami's Phenomenon Intervention, but Ragna's injuries from the battle persisted.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 7: Ragna, The Wanderer''</ref> She later teleported Terumi away from the [[Colosseum]], seeing Kokonoe and Celica – she stopped for a second, looking at them both before teleporting herself and Terumi back to Ishana.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 15: The Truth''</ref> Under Izanami's orders, Phantom destroyed Takamagahara.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 16: Kushinada's Lynchpin''</ref> Later on, Phantom and Izanami took themselves to the NOL branch in Yabiko, pinning down [[Kagura Mutsuki]], [[Jin Kisaragi]], [[Hibiki Kohaku]], and [[Homura Amanohokosaka]]. Phantom watched as Izanami abdicated her position as the Imperator.<br />
<br />
Phantom teleported Izanami away and witnessed Take-Mikazuchi being pulled from orbit back onto the planet. Jubei attempted to attack the former Imperator but Phantom's restraints were released by Izanami and she was allowed free reign to attack her husband. The husband and wife battled, but the victor is unknown.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 17: Doomsday''</ref> As Phantom, she returned to Izanami's side afterward and teleported Hakumen to an unknown location. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Episode 18: Beginning of the End''</ref><br />

When Hakumen and Trinity broke the spell, they found Phantom staring straight at them, her shadowy figure alone in front of an NOL building. The two of them revealed her true form as Nine, but she was burning with the aura of murderous intent.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Six Heroes, Episode 8: Bonds of Fate''</ref><br />

'''Carl''': ''Core...? The core of a Nox Nyctores? What use do you have for a spiritual vessel?''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''Aww, your answer's no fun. You're becoming just like "him." I think that's enough chit-chat... Very soon you're going to WANT to give her to me.''<br />
<br />
<Nine Victory><br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''Still putting up a fight? I might actually kill you...''<br />
<br />
'''Carl''': ''I'd never let you have her... My sister is inside her! C'mon, Sis... Let's get out of here!''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''...Hehe... Hahahaha... "Sister?" You call that child your sister... Oh, you make me laugh. She's only a weapon, her entire existence... Don't treat her like she's anything more.''<br />

'''Jin''': ''I thought I sensed a dark presence... Nine the Phantom.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''Why, hello there Hero. Perfect timing... I was going to have you give me back the Yukianesa.''<br />
<br />
'''Trinity''': ''Nine... What do you intend to do with all the Nox Nyctores? Without one to wield them, what you are doing serves no purpose.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''Oh? I thought you would know, Trinity... What happens when you collect all the Nox Nyctores. You've seen it before, too.''<br />
<br />
'''Trinity''': ''Don't tell me... You intend to bring that back...!? No, Jin... You must stop Nine no matter what! She cannot have all the Nox Nyctores...!''<br />
<br />
'''Jin''': ''That was my intent. I don't care who stands in my way... I will remove them.''<br />
<br />
<Nine Victory><br />
<br />
'''Jin''': ''Tch... I can't spend any more strength here...''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''You were prepared to withdraw...? I'm not letting you get away so easily, boy. Buuut, on second thought... This presence... Hehehe, yes. I should probably at least say "hi" while he's here.''<br />

<br />
'''Nine''': ''I've made all the preparations on my end. How are you doing?''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''No problems. Now, we wait for the Successor to meet her fate.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''':W''hich reminds me... I ran into your son. He was like a carbon copy of you... It made me want to beat the crap out of him.''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''Oh? He's grown so old that even the Great Sage Nine would present a compliment... I look forward to his future.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''':.''..Say, Relius Clover. We're not far from the Day of Reckoning, and the end of this world... ...When that happens, you and I will become enemies. After the same thing... right? There will be a time when either your god or mine will create the new world...''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''...Continue.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''':S''imple. We'll both be busy after the world ends, so... I thought this might be the last opportunity I get to beat the shit out of you. How about we settle who's more suited to create the new world?''<br />

'''Nine''': ''A new god will appear in the blank space... ...And she will create a new world.''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''God is only the system that will manage the world. Creating the system means... ...Creating the god... The only problem is... What kind of god to build?''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''I've had enough of our disobedient Master Unit... ...And arrogant Takamagahara... I am going to create an entity with no emotion. A system that won't alter the course of the world from feelings or thoughts. Humans have more than enough emotion in the world.''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''Your hatred of our "god" led you to create an unbiased idol...''<br />

'''Nine''': ''I wasn't born to become a god's plaything... ...Or for the sake of this world, either. No one can tug on my strings to make me dance. It doesn't matter if you are the gods... No one should have that much power! I'm not here for Father or Mother, or my sister... We're not acting out someone's comedy! I'll smash it all...''<br />

'''Nine''': ''This pathetic world that doll created. This is how I intend to slay the gods!''<br />
<br />
'''Relius''': ''I see... That's why you're after the core... Nox Nyctores' cores were created by shattering a single core into the fragments it is now... Uniting them will unleash its full power. Even I have not yet seen it in its complete form. I look forward to witnessing this power... ...Said to equal even that of the Black Beast.''<br />
<br />
'''Nine''': ''I wasn't doing this for your entertainment, but... Regardless, I'll put on a show you'll never forget. After I complete the core, I'll use the seithr inside the Embryo... ...To destroy the Master Unit. The chaos I create... ...Will put an end to this mad world...!''<br />

[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 32.png|thumb|left|Standing over the defeated Ragna]]Nine entered the [[embryo]], keeping her memories and free of Izanami's contract. She absolved to finally bring about her new world and to stop Izanami at all costs. In there, she found [[Carl Clover]] and began mocking him over his father. She told him that Relius was partially responsible for the beginning of the Dark War <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 021, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She began using the Phantom Field as a base of operations, specifically [[Purgatorium]]. At some point, she created multiple illusions to taunt Hakumen over the Dark War <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 027, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> Eventually, she summoned Ragna, and the two battled. She won, and told him to defeat Izanami as she had to the chosen, and used phenomenon intervention to send him back to Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 034''</ref><br />
<br />
Using phenomenon intervention, she teleported all the chosen to the Embryo's version of Ikaruga and emitted a voice telling them to defeat Izanami and claim their piece of the Azure. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 005, Chapter 036''</ref> She found Relius, and they talked about the Nox's and how to remove the [[Tsukuyomi Unit]] from guarding Amaterasu. Nine claimed that by retrieving the other Nox's, she can remove their cores and make Take-Mikazuchi even more powerful than before. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 039, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She later found [[Nu-13]] attempting to retrieve the [[Phoenix: Rettenjo|Rettenjo]] from [[Bang Shishigami]] and interrupted their fight, making it a three-way battle. Unfortunately for her, Bang managed to flee with his Nox and its core. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 050, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She used the Requiem to constantly move Ragna through possibilities.<br />
<br />
Later, Nine found a group consisting of Jubei, [[Iron Tager]], Kokonoe, Jin, Ragna, Celica, Rachel, and Trinity entering her workshop. She fought Jubei, who was standing guard, defeated him, and threw him into the group. She explained that she was going to end the world, with Requiem becoming its replacement God. She told the group of the Dark War, and during its aftermath, how it should have been impossible to create Ars Magus in such a short space of time. She then told them of the [[Prime Field War]] and how the world as they know it came to exist before finally fighting Ragna – the battle was going her way for a great portion of it, but Nine was distracted by looking at Celica, which bought the Grim Reaper enough time to gravely wound her and steal her dream. Jubei and Celica rushed to her side, and she promised them that she would meet them in the afterlife. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 56(B).png|thumb|right|Nine passes away with a smile]]Izanami came to her workshop, making Nine use the [[Radiance of Extinguishment]], allowing her to both activate Requiem and bind Izanami. Nu entered, and was stopped by Jubei, who rushed to her side to protect his wife. Nine gave Ragna a warning that they would have one week until the space-time around the workshop would return to normal. She died, dissolving into seithr – her last moments spent being happy that Jubei could protect her one last time. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref><br />
