The Elusive Samurai

Tadayoshi usually wears a traditional costume, when he is at war he usually wears armor to avoid serious damage.

He is a serious person unlike his brother, he usually plans strategies and carries out his actions logically.


The Elusive Samurai

Takauji usually wears a traditional costume, when he is at war he usually wears armor to avoid serious damage.

Takauji is usually someone very serious, trustworthy and kind to other people, being a well-liked and respected warrior. His true personality is that of someone cold and calculating who would not hesitate to kill anyone in order to achieve his goal.
Behind his charismatic and respectable demeanour, lies a sociopath of unmeasurable malice that he tries to keep in check under an amicable facade. When traces of his true personality start to leak, it causes onlookers to witness hallucinations of monsters coming out of him, or even see Takauji himself a more monstrous version of himself. Such instances have included things like being seeing with three irises on his eyes, having his face deform with strange appendages, and having apparitions manifest out of him when unelashing his bloodlust, which terrified the Elusive Warriors.
Secretly, Takauji has perverse hobbies, including drawing grotesque paintings in walls with what appears to be blood, something his brother Tadayoshi is well aware of and does make sure to keep hidden from public knowledge.
During his teenage years, Takauji was a notable slacker, who cared very little about his education and only sought to live peacefully. During his 14th year, his divine power manifested and awoke within him the deep rooted ambition planted into him by his ancestor Ietoki Ashikaga, compelling him to obtain everything. Not even Takauji himself understands this ambition, and feels it as a force moving him to take all for himself.
Despite his overwhelming power, status and charisma, Takauji still remains notoriously lazy and hates difficulty. He wishes for everything to go smoothly and for his goals to be achieved with little to no obstacles. The constant opposition by Hojo Tokiyuki and the Elusive Warriors becomes an evergrowing pain for Takauji as not only he's forced to expand time and resources, but also costs him his grace with the Emperor , forcing him to take action himself, becoming increasingly irritated at his inability to seize power. When faced by real threats to his life, Takauji shows signs of cowardice and his face distorts in panic. When his forces were unable to fight against Akiie Kitabatake's superior military tactics, Takauji despaired immensely and ultimately removed himself out of any direct involvement, letting his men deal with him.
When Takauji not only failed to assassinate Tokiyuki, but his assassination of Moriyoshi became known to Go-Daigo, along with his unauthorized rule of Kamakura, it caused him to become branded as a traitor by the emperor and an enemy of the country. This sequentiality of events, deeply disturbed Takauji as it permanently shamed his name in history, while terminating any chance to for a smooth transition of power to be bestowed upon him after Go-Daigo's eventual passing, thereby completely destroying his ideal of a "peaceful life".
Takauji would grow to immensely despise even any mention of Tokiyuki. When treating an injured soldier, upon learning that the war he had met with Tokiyuki for the first time since his betrayal, was named the Nakasendai War in honor of the newfound battle name for Tokiyuki, and consequently depriving Takauji of his framing of history, he immediately opened the soldier's wound causing his innards to burst out.
These developments cause Takauji to burn with passionate revenge towards Tokiyuki, for thwarting all of his ambitions and seeks to kill him as retribution for all the trouble he was forced to go through. Takauji would display a warped, self-centered, and delusional perspective of the events, claiming that Tokiyuki had "betrayed" him and even callously offering to forgive him if he surrendered, despite the fact Takauji had slaughtered Tokiyuki's entire family in an act of treason.

Go-Daigo is shown to be a serious and proud person. Well aware of his position, he rarely, if ever, shows himself, instead sitting the majority of the time behind the curtains, creating an aura of authority and mysticism. The emperor is a person of very few words and will speak only the necessary amount of words needed. Sometimes this is displayed in rather lighthearted ways by speaking a single word or sentence, and have those words relayed by his attendants who bow in reverence immediately.
Despite his eccentricities, Go-Daigo is shown to be fairly pragmatic in his rule, which is shown regularly over time: From appointing Sadamune to governor to find Hojo clan survivors, to simplify the process of distribution of land, although the latter only occurred after being flooded with thousands of applications for reward, many of which were fraudulent and decided to do away with the bureaucracy on its entirety simply because he found it "a pain".
Go-Daigo for a time relied greatly on Takauji as his main enforcer knowing of his skill and his results, even favoring him over his own son, who was effectively demoted after a failed attempt at Takauji's life. Despite of this, Go-Daigo's favor was not unlimited and could accurately detect Takauji's hidden ambitions by setting clear lines. Takauji's unauthorized actions and the murder of his son, would be the final straw for Go-Daigo before breaking away with his most powerful warrior and branding him a traitor.
As further proof of his wisdom and political maneuvering, he was willing to accept Tokiyuki Hojo as an ally as they both shared a common enemy and threat on Takauji, despite the fact Go-Daigo was also responsible for the demise of Hojo clan and sought them killed out of fear of being a threat to his rule.

He is still wearing his Suwa shrine attire, but the pattern on his pants changes from three triangles to three five-pointed stars.

Before Kamakura fell, he was a carefree individual who simply enjoyed the excitement of fleeing and leisure, leading him to skip classes and triggering chases between him and Hojo servants. However, after Kamakura fell, he experienced betrayal after betrayal, first from the General he respected, Takauji, and then his uncle, which caused him agony and doubt.

Akira was the type of person who expresses his feelings through his facial expressions. When he didn't like something, he would put on an annoying face. He is actually friendly towards everyone, but on the contrary if he meets new people, he seems unfriendly.
Akira was an ambitious and unyielding researcher as he was shown to be obsessed with studying magic and unlocking its secrets and will do anything if that meant he can understand and control it. While a brilliant man, his intellect is overweighed by his arrogance. His belief that he can control any situation, especially the tampering of unpredictable magical energy caused him to completely ignore the potential consequences.
Despite claiming everything he had done was for the good of humanity, his condescending attitude towards others, his use of human test subjects, and the lack of remorse for the harm he caused proved otherwise. [1]

[1] She usually ties her hair in pig tails using a large black bow and is often seen wearing her academy uniform consisting of a blazer jacket, with gold accents, a white dress shirt, a navy-blue waist belt, a plaid pattern on the skirt, white thigh-high stockings, and knee-high boots with crosscutting laces.

Alexia on surface is shown to be a rather attractive and well-tempered young lady whenever she is in the academy, but whenever she is alone with Cid , she's quite spoiled and abrasive, looking down on him and thinking they could be swayed easily if offered money (Volume 1). A common move she makes is throwing her money on the ground and offering coins for people to be her 'pooch'. [CITATION NEEDED]
This stemmed from feelings of envy, being constantly compared to her sister, Iris. [CITATION NEEDED] However, after spending time as a couple with Cid , she started to show a kinder side, developing fondness and even respect for him. When she was kidnapped, Alexia expressed deep worry for him. Deep down, she is a good girl who will put her own life on the line to protect others that she cares for. [CITATION NEEDED] In a twist of fate, as Alexia focuses more on her future and self-growth, her older sister Iris is seen to regress into Alexia's old state of mind, with her becoming even more mentally unstable than Alexia ever was since Iris is the crown princess. [CITATION NEEDED] Seeing this change, Alexia decides to take a step in, and no matter how her older sister lashes out, she tries to show her that she is still loved and valued by her. [CITATION NEEDED]
After the events of Bushin Festival , Alexia chooses to no longer be a mere "bystander" and become strong enough to be able to stand up and fight for what she believes in, however, this time she changes her methods, and instead of just practicing with her sword Alexia wants to have full knowledge of everything regarding her kingdom, so she begins focusing more in studying various subjects (politics, economics, law, engineering, finance, even ancient linguistics) to cultivate her intelligence and be absolutely aware of why, when and how she wields her sword and protect others. She believes she needs to start by earning the right to stand in that place and realizes sometimes that road to that place starts in an area where you don't wield a sword. [2]


The Eminence in Shadow

Alpha is a young elf with long golden-blonde hair and blue eyes. Her general appearance is described as breathtakingly beautiful, garnering ample attention and praise. [1] [5] Unblemished skin adds to her striking characteristics. [1] She bears a strong resemblance to her ancestor Olivier , the Elf Hero, and her aunt Beatrix , the Goddess of War . [5]
Dark dresses are Alpha's typical attire, and several have been featured. One such dress is a side-slit evening gown with matching gloves, high heels, and a choker. The décolletage accentuates her curvaceous body and reveals a matinee pendant necklace. [6] Alpha's less ostentatious choice is a simple black dress without a conspicuous neckline. It offers refinement through simplicity. [7] Similarly, she sometimes chooses not to wear evening gloves and opts for bare hands with only blue nail polish. [8]
During her Shadow Garden activities, Alpha wears the customary ebony slime bodysuit ornamented with gold accents and a cutout-style chest design. A gold diamond is centered on the lower sternum, with two gold stripes descending below the chest cutout. The stripes continue down until they conjoin the hip decorations. Along Alpha's hips are ornate golden streaks, adorned with three belts that wrap around her hamstrings. On her feet, she wears block high heels with gold-edged collars. Dark bracers covered in golden ornamentation protect her hands. [9] For anonymity, she dons a pitch-black mask. [4] It is in the style of a domino mask, having ornamental frills and flowers. [MANGA ONLY]

Born from a devotion to her savior and malignity toward those who deprive many, herself included, of happiness, Alpha's sole purpose in life is to eliminate the Cult of Diablos . She jeeringly conveys contempt for the weak and the "ignoramuses" who are oblivious to the real world. [4] Even for the shadow-enlightened, she can be cold if they lack ideals or ambition. [2] Alpha's callous indifference regarding outsiders does not reflect her temperament in all circumstances. Acting as a Shadow Garden administrator, she presents as imperturbable, offering compendious replies and orders. [10] [11] This composed demeanor has crumbled in the face of suspected harm or betrayal from those she cherishes. [12] [13] Alpha conveys a larger emotional spectrum around the Seven Shadows and Cid. Ridiculing laughter is replaced with genuine giggling, and sororal compassion supersedes impassivity. [2] [4] [13] She has called the Seven Shadows her family, periodically looking past faults and embracing them as her kin. [14] The Possessed likewise arouses profound empathy from Alpha, and she endeavors to rescue as many as possible. [2] [4]
The blonde elf's achievements have not tempered a deep sense of inferiority and inadequacy. Like many of the Seven Shadows, Alpha feels Shadow is in a realm beyond understanding, regarding her presence as a burden. [12] [13] Unsatisfied with personal deficiencies, she strives to shoulder Shadow's responsibilities and earn even a little more of his trust. [4] [7]

She had lost most of her memories from centuries of isolation by the time the current day of the "Goddess's Trial" happened. However, it's revealed she retained a lot more memories than she lets on. While reviewing the past memories, she has shown disappointment and is probably apathetic towards her younger self. Following her freedom from the Sanctuary , she requests Cid to kill her.
After having entered the body of Cid 's sister, Claire Kagenou , she spends her time in an observant way and having fun watching Claire interact with other people, especially with other girls, who try to flirt with her brother. Aurora shows herself concerned with Claire when she gets into dangerous situations and has her sometimes to train her body so that she can use it to draw out and use more magical power, even if it is for a limited period of time. Aurora, on several occasions, hints to Claire about the true identity of her own brother, Cid and the things he really does, but does not tell her directly for certain reasons, which according to her, it is better for her not to say, and she replies to Claire not to risk so much and to trust more in that " person ", since he has always been protecting her since she was little.

However, in the anime version, her weapon is a single-edged straight sword, similar to a katana but without the curved blade.

Beatrix is shown to be a mature person but is typically passed off as stoic individual that is socially awkward and with an aloof attitude. This confuses others and makes them question whether her title is a true testament or exaggeration initially. Her tactless nature may be seen by others as someone who speaks her thoughts out loud without filter, but she is still polite to those that engages with her. [1]
Beatrix has a degree of self-confident and seems to have a determined attitude as seen by her unyielding desire to achieve her goals by finding her niece. Beatrix, like Shadow , also feels a strong attraction to face off against powerful opponents when she is able to find them. She is not above teaming up with others to defeat larger threats as shown by her alliance with Iris Midgar. [1] [2]
Beatrix maintains her friendly, kind and loving presence with people she likes, and is intuitive enough to avoid the possibility of death in combat when faced with very strong enemies. This is in contrast to Iris Midgar , who is carried away by her rage and revenge to the point of willingly sacrificing everything to kill Shadow. [2]

Violet physical reactions and trouble sleeping were common occurrences. Cid later recounted Beta tales from Earth—her favorites were Cinderella and Snow White.

Despite her prestigious display, Christina is actually a kind-hearted and sociable woman as she was willing to set aside her superiority towards her relative to help in the investigation surrounding ghosts attacking the Academy and help testify against the Vice Student Council President. [1]


The Eminence in Shadow

Cid is a slim young man with an athletic frame, short black hair, and black eyes. His facial features are average, without impressionable qualities. A countenance that is forgettable as it is generic. His new body has similar characteristics to his previous appearance as Minoru Kageno. [5] As a student, Cid wears the compulsory male uniform of Midgar Academy. The standard navy-blue blazer with gold shoulder straps and a white dress shirt. A casual appearance is facilitated by keeping the black apron necktie loose. White loafers and navy-blue trousers round out the bottom. [6]
The costume Cid selected for Shadow is an ebony slime bodysuit , styled like a popped collar overcoat. Gold and purple trim adorn a dark jacket, shirt, pants, and high boots. A long hood casts a shadow to hide the upper half of Cid’s face. The only discernible facial features are his mouth and the glow of red eyes. [3] [7]

From early childhood onward, he—in both lives—had an abiding fascination with shadow broker characters. Leaders of cabals and puppet masters who secretly exert enormous power and worldly influence. Cid was and still is obsessed with becoming a genuine shadow broker. Cid’s megalomania has gone past simple juvenile or 'chūnibyō' fantasies, as he vows permanent loyalty to becoming an eminence and refuses to outgrow it. [2] Cid spares no effort or expense in achieving his dream—endlessly training and developing elaborate scenarios or dialogue for his routine. Cid’s materialistic nature has guided many decisions as he continuously searches for more capital to fund his shadow broker operations. [13] When not focused on Mob or Eminence performances, his general attitude comes off as aloof or apathetic.
Claire, A Repeat Victim of Cid's Relationship Strategy
To maintain efficiency, Cid separates things in his life into two categories: “Important Stuff” and “Unimportant Stuff.” The latter category imputes no malignity, merely apathy. He dedicates his complete attention to his likes or desires and disregards everything else. The pruning process is continuous, chipping away ever more at his life until the only thing that remains are things he cannot live without. [15] [16] [17] Cid's extreme modus operandi does not mean the absence of emotion or friends. His laconic behavior and dismissal of others reflect deepening isolation; however, he has shown the capability for compassion on several occasions, offering sympathy for people he perceives as having suffered similar or extreme hardships. [16] [18] If someone praises something precious to him, he will endeavor to express gratitude or give a targeted compliment. [15] [19] Reflecting on his unwavering pursuit, Cid expresses open contempt for those who have abandoned their ambitions. [16]
Cid has described the Seven Shadows as friends and frequently thanks them for playing along with his role-playing. [20] [3] Periodically, Cid can get envious or annoyed at the constant success they have garnered utilizing his otherworldly knowledge but tolerates many of their decisions. [19] [21] His relationships are not without difficulty. A personal philosophy of Cid’s is that relational contretemps resolve themselves over time. Ignoring others becomes an appropriate and valid social strategy with this view. He has received several sharp lessons that maintaining an insouciance approach does not always work, but he considers that not enough time has elapsed in these instances; death will solve it. [20] Cid differs from his lascivious school friends, articulating a lack of interest in relationships or marriage. His one relationship happened by mere happenstance; after concluding the farcical relationship, he rejects an offer to make it serious. [15] [7] Other women have misinterpreted Cid’s actions as romantic gestures when he had no such intention. Associating with the Seven Shadows has inundated him with beautiful individuals, making him apathetic towards attractive women. [15]
Cid has retained the pride of a Warrior, continuing his martial arts and swordsmanship training from his past life. He recognizes power and technique but respects those who understand the intricacies of battles. Brute strength and borrowed power are abhorrent to him. [20] An ambiguous element of Cid’s personality is his feelings towards others. Cid’s behavior and statements towards characters are contradictory. It is open to interpretation if he views people as props, individuals, or some combination of the two. Rhetorical actions strengthen Cid’s mob character persona but disregard feelings for those involved. [9] [15] Activities like these reinforce the prop view of people, but his rare instances of solicitude support the notion of people as individuals. [16] [18]

In addition to having pitifully begged for his life when Shadow overwhelmed him showing that for all his power and arrogance, Crimson was nothing short of a bully that picked on others and cowered when things became too much for him.


The Eminence in Shadow

Delta is a young female wolf therianthrope with large canine ears and a fluffy tail. She sports purple eyes with vertical slit pupils that become circular when happy. [ANIME ONLY] [6] Retaining an athletic yet curvaceous build, Delta's body possesses chiseled muscles and well-defined contours. [7] [8]
In her daily life, she wears a dark suit with long-sleeved clothes around her neck and opens in her stomach, a pair of gloves, shorts combined with stockings, and a pair of shoes. Often times, Delta will wear a variation of this trend with different materials but always wears something to accentuate her athleticism and form. But some exceptions occur, such as in winter helping Cid dig for Gettan's buried treasure.
When serving in the Shadow Garden, she wears the customary slime bodysuit with black and gold decorations, but with the individualized accessories of fur adornments at the collar, wrists, and ankles. Delta's top has the basic dark attire with twin vertical gold lines running up the central third of her torso before joining two violet gems accents. The gems fall in line where another gold lining traverses her upper pectoral outline above her bust, with gold shoulder pads connected to the gems. Her shoulders have a slight bagginess before connecting to two gold rings where her deltoids meet her arms in regular black sleeve, connecting to standard cestus around both of her forearms and black gloves. Her top is wrapped around the diaphragm by a slight belt where the seam splits underneath to reveal her abdomen.
Her lower half is dressed in leggings with lighter black which has straps from both edges of her lower abdomen wrapping around her hips to the back, resembling short shorts. Her upper thighs have a gold ring each where the leggings get darker going further down the limbs, with a gold diamond shape a few centimeters down the center fold on both legs from the gold rings. Down the legs past the fur accents on her ankles, Delta has a pair of gold chevrons pointing up her feet. Delta's tail has a thick gold ring with an inlaid division around the center at the base of her tail, and a matching ring towards the end of her tail, with an ornament of two bells and a tassel ribbon at the end.
In the game and light novel, Delta wears a gold laced gem on both hips of her trouser line.
In the light novel, there are more detailed grooves on her leggings as well as a trio of belt wraps on both arms around the biceps/triceps.
In the manga, she sometimes she wears a mask to protect her original identity.

Hunting for Delta surpasses a mere way to get food; it is inseparable from her identity. Ever since she was three, she concluded that hunting was the reason for her existence. It revealed to her that one can sustain oneself through strength. The only things that retain value are obtained by oneself. [9] [10] Her therianthrope background and hunting connection feed into her life philosophy of might makes right —the strong dictate direction and morality, and those who are weaker follow. [10] [11] Consequently, Delta only acknowledges and answers to strength, holding weak in contempt. Wanting to overcome the stigma of her mother's tragic death from sickness, this ideology remains constant and pertains even to family members. [11] [12]
Delta’s might logic—musclehead—and reliance on strength-based solutions leave fellow Shadow Garden members exasperated. For those Delta acknowledges or accepts as family, she presents a docile nature. She displays a childish innocence that manifests through a playful demeanor and naive interpretation of the world. [3] Delta’s juvenile perceptions likewise make her easily excitable and impulsive. These impulsive tendencies are near-uncontrollable. Even if she temporarily suppresses urges, they will manifest later through more damaging actions. [11]
Conversely, her enemies receive the full brunt of her feral temperament, revealing a brutal and merciless character. [13]


The Eminence in Shadow

Elisabeth is a beautiful vampire woman with a small but well-formed body, with very light crimson hair that reaches to her knees and is intense, and eyes of the same color, and pointed ears like those of an elf, but her hair covers them. She wears a knee-length dark red dress made of blood that slides hypnotically over her skin with red accents, dark red hands, dark red stockings, and a pair of shoes. She also wears a crimson hair clip and a red necklace around her neck and ribbon and walks with an umbrella to protect herself from the sun.
Because of her lineage as a vampire progenitor, Elisabeth could withstand sunlight to some extent, albeit with discomfort. She managed to live by abstaining from human blood and exclusively consuming human food. To shield herself from the sun's direct rays and to avoid further discomfort, Elisabeth carries a crimson umbrella.

Unlike other Vampire Progenitors who had used their abilities for survival or for evil, Elisabeth is not only the most benevolent of the progenitors but her entire species. She is a kind woman, who believed that Vampires could coexist with the other races which lead to her building her utopia where there is equality for all.
Elisabeth would even sacrifice herself if to ensure no one would be hurt by her power, to which she even tries to fight off her urge to feed, but her nature as the vampire progenitor makes it hard for her to do so. Elisabeth refuses to take humans lives excessively and hunted only the bare minimum she needed to survive.
Elisabeth has a slow nature to wake up completely, whether she is well fed or in need of drinking blood. According to Mary , Elisabeth always had that naturalness, due to low blood pressure in her body. [3]


The Eminence in Shadow

Epsilon is a young Elf with sharp facial features and displays a “striking” body. To hide her usual petite proportions, she uses a slime suit to appear far more curvaceous, greatly amplifying her buttocks and breasts. She has long azure hair tied into pigtails with dark blue eyes (purple in illustrations). [1] [5]
As a member of the Shadow Garden , she uses a dark-colored slime bodysuit with a distinctive pattern adorned on the chest. There is a gold decoration on the arms and shoulders, as well as purple gem accessories on the arms, shoulders, and abdomen. Included in the outfit is a long purple scarf with gold accessories and purple gems at the edges. [6] Sometimes, she wears a mask to hide her identity. [1]

Epsilon's self-aggrandizement, haughty voice, and a penchant for misunderstandings lead many to call her intense or arrogant. [1] Whether in combat or social situations, she will seize an advantage—major or minor, physical or psychological. Although her unyielding and stubborn approach may appear callous, she deeply cares for allies and friends. If not for Epsilon's immense pride overwhelming other traits, her docile and compassionate nature would define her personality. [7] [8] Even through her pride, she acknowledges and takes full responsibility for her mistakes. [9] [10]
Pride does require something as its subject, and her old noble life supplied plenty of achievements to fuel her confidence. Becoming a member of Shadow Garden forced her to recontextualize the notion of excellence. She wanted to claim a pillar of superiority, but marital perfection and genius are abundant at Shadow Garden. Desperate to retain the pride and independence that defines her, Epsilon decided that beauty was the only feasible option. The driving force for personal beauty does not come from narcissism. Epsilon desires to return the selflessness and generosity shown to her by Cid. She strives to make herself a titillating companion open to a physical relationship, believing that bodily magic engineering is the only option to appeal to Cid and overcome feelings of inferiority. [5] [7]


The Eminence in Shadow

Eta is a female elf with long puce hair and unkempt bangs above bleary, purple eyes. She frequently presents a bedraggled appearance, a consequence of her slothful activities. A faded, traditional white lab coat over slime clothes stylized in a pleated dress pattern with a black wispy represents Eta's usual outfit for work and sleep.
Outside her work clothes, Eta styles the customary slime bodysuit like a double-slitted keyhole dress, hemmed at the upper thighs and dressed over a lighter bodysuit. The oversized sleeves and long endings tapering to ragged edges make the accompanying loose-fitting jacket look like a cloak. Various frills and minor decorations adorn the jacket. A loose belt dangles off the back of her coat, offering a tail-like appearance.
Eta has a garter on each leg for dark stockings and two decorative belts around her thighs. The position changes based on the adaption—left in the light novel and right in the anime. Simplified black trousers, rather than stockings, cover her legs in the anime. They have riveted fins along the back, from the knee, down the back of her calf, ending at the ankle. Eta's footwear in the light novel are pumps, while she wears wedges in the anime. A strip of gold trim around the vamp of the shoes are present in both adaptations.

A quiet presence, Eta derives pleasure through indolent activities. She demonstrates lethargy and apathy, slowly conversing with others and moving sluggishly. Eta's raison d'être is the pursuit and development of Shadow Wisdom. Her manic devotion has helped the advancement of Shadow Garden, but it frequently manifests through petty defiance or unauthorized experimentation. Such antics can disrupt administrative efficiency or harm the physical well-being of others. Threats of reduced budgetary allocations modulate Eta's ethically dubious experiments and rebellious behavior; however, occasional quarrels still occur. The reasons for disobedience are presented as differences in ethics and methodology rather than administrative directives or malice towards her fellow sisters. [1] [3]


The Eminence in Shadow

Fenrir maintains the appearance of a young boy with silver hair. Others describe his beauty as something that can only exist in fairy tales. However, Fenrir possessed the ability to alter his face and body. His true form is that of a frail elderly man covered in deep wrinkles and white hair.. [3]

Fenrir was a former assassin who took pride in being a murderer, claiming to have killed countless people to reach the "pinnacle of martial prowess". A combat fanatic at heart, he loves the thrill of battle and facing strong opponents. [3] He refused to acknowledge those he deemed weak, including fellow members of the Rounds. Like many of the Cult's higher-ranking members, Fenrir presented himself with absolute confidence and importance. [4]


The Eminence in Shadow

Freya is described to have silver hair and bright red eyes. Her appearance is very similar to Alexia Midgar , her descendant.

Unlike her descendant, she is much more cool-headed and cynical. But she is also a functioning leader, always giving clear, concise instructions to her subordinates.
She also has a coldhearted ruthlessness as a leader. Going as far as making Claire Kagenou drink poison, just to check if it actually was poison. And not only did she not apologize for making her drink the poison, but she also berated Claire for being stupid enough to drink it in the first place. [1]
She also seems to have no concept of restraint or lies. As she always voices her opinions openly and clearly, regardless of whether the one who receives said opinion is actually appreciative of it.


The Eminence in Shadow

Gamma's mature atmosphere, accompanied by a slender yet buxom figure, belies her young age. She routinely keeps her indigo hair down, preferring a simple hairstyle that extends to her lower thighs. Described as stunning, even by royalty, the half-elf’s facial features offer a proportional appearance, with only a beauty mark under the left corner of her lips breaking Gamma’s symmetrical countenance. [2]
Her Shadow Garden uniform consists of a standard slime bodysuit with golden accents decorating around her chest and arms. She wears a sleeved keyhole jacket with a popped collar and gold edge extending behind her back—the décolletage is covered with opaque fabric. The lower half of the bodysuit is strap-up heeled boots that end just above the knees, with a thick golden collar end with a thinner golden line underneath looping around from the lower inner knee to the upper outer thigh, holding a violet gem. The heels of her boots are similar to her work heels but enclose her feet with gold lines around the ankles and gold rims over her wrists.
Outside of Shadow Garden, Gamma normally wears dark backless dresses whenever she is going about in her public persona of Luna, the president of the Mitsugoshi Company. Footwear changes depending on occasion, but she predominantly dons black or white heels. [3]

Exuding calm and refinement, Gamma presents a dignified figure to prospective business partners and customers of Mitsugoshi, Ltd. She harbors no qualms about being a shrewd businesswoman who engages in aggressive corporate maneuvers. Gamma continues to leverage Mitsugoshi’s monopolistic position to exploit ignorant consumers and uninformed merchants through predatory lending, market manipulation, and proprietary trading. [4] [5] [6] Her calculating demeanor is not constant; It softens towards her fellow Seven Shadows and reflects their mutual sororal relationship. [7] [8]
Gamma’s guise of grace disappears in the heat of battle or around Cid. Poor balance breaks her otherwise elegant posture and gait—leading to bloody noses. She frequently hides embarrassment by continuation of conversation and a plethora of excuses, but red cheeks betray Gamma’s true feelings. Frustrated by her physical limitations, Gamma struggled to increase her combat prowess after first joining Shadow Garden. Her lack of physical capabilities prompted Cid to call her Gamma the Weak privately. [1] The futility of her efforts soon became apparent, and the mounting failures led to suicidal ideations. On the planned day of action, Shadow fortuitously presented a new avenue of purpose—Shadow Wisdom. Enthralled with Shadow’s insight, Gamma threw her established genius at recreating Shadow Wisdom and the management of Shadow Garden. [3] [9]
Gamma continues to struggle with chronic feelings of inadequacy, despite the success of Shadow Garden and Mitsugoshi, Ltd. She perceives that a retainer should anticipate the needs and wishes of their master or be able to interpret them. Cid’s capricious actions frequently fall outside Gamma’s intellectual foresight, reinforcing Gamma’s doubt and despondency. Weak combat prowess notwithstanding, she aspires to one day fight on the front lines, side by side with Shadow. [3]

Characterized by his obesity, Garter's appearance is described as "frog-like."

Garter is a pusillanimous individual who obediently follows Gettan's orders, after his hostile takeover. Incompetence may outmatch his weight, as all Major Corporate Alliance directive failed.


The Eminence in Shadow

Gettan was blind Therianthrope of the wolf race, possessing glossy jet-black fur and stoic features with a fearless face. Also, his eyelids are closes over his empty sockets and bears a deep horizontal scar across his face from the sword that blinded him.

Gettan was convinced by the philosophy "If you don't want anything robbed from you, you have to rob from others", even he treats his subordinates with utter contempt and will kill them should they fail him.
When he was young, Gettan was a brave man wanting only to protect those he held dear. However, what held him down was his immense pride which became nothing short of a curse for him because his inability to accept his own weakness causes him to make reckless and stupid decisions, including lashing out and trying to kill Yukime.

The Eminence in Shadow

Goldy is a gorgeous handsome man with sparkling blond hair. As the name suggests, he's dressed in golden armor.

Goldy is a highly pretentious individual who wants to look cool.
Despite acting like a flamboyant braggart, in truth, Goldy was a coward who ran away the minute he knew he was facing an opponent stronger than him. He was deeply ashamed of this cowardice, hence why he hated his title "Unbeaten Legend" as it was a constant reminder that no one could beat him because he ran from the fight.


The Eminence in Shadow

Grease was a middle-aged man in his late thirties with a piercing gaze and a well-built body as he wore aristocratic clothing with his gray hair slicked back. [1] In the anime, he wears a black cape under his clothes.
After taking the drug , his body size had doubled in size with the amount of magic in his body exponentially increasing which made his skin turn black, his muscles bulge, and his eyes glow red.
In the Manga after taking one pill, Grease's muscles increased and his veins were visible all over his body to the point where all other clothes except for his shirt, pants and boots were torn. After taking two pills his muscles grow bigger and his shirt would rip, but his pants and boots would still remain.
In the Anime after taking one pill, Grease's left eye turns red and his veins are visible all over his body. After consuming all the pills in the bottle, his muscles increased to the maximum, his skin turned brown and the skin on the side of his right hand darkened and his flesh expanded which had also merged with the sword. The sword was very large, black and long and there seemed to be a long red vein in the middle of the huge sword.

Grease was an arrogant and prideful man, demonstrating this hot-headed behavior when he yelled at his subordinate due to the slightest disrespect to his pride. Cursed by his powerlessness, he was easily provoked by Shadow 's 'ignorance' in facing the Cult , going as far as sacrificing his life to show him the 'truth.' Despite this, Grease seemed to be a loving father, longing for his deceased daughter moments before his death. [CITATION NEEDED]

The Eminence in Shadow

Iris is a beautiful woman with delicate features with fiery straight hair that reaches down to her back and red eyes. She normally wears a knight order uniform sans cape, a royal dark violet uniform with light edges and black should straps, with cuffs folded back one-third up her arm from the wrist. Part of her attire requires her to wear white gloves for her dressing, a black shirt with matching edges to her uniform, and a ruby-like gem with a single ribbon necktie that stretches down into her uniform. Iris wears white tights and knee-high heeled boots with single-tie laces at the collar which folds over, and she can normally be seen with her sword adorning her side on her waist belt.
After the Black Rose incident, Iris amended her attire to a more professional Crimson Order uniform, as well as added a braid in her hair along with small jewelry down a lock of hair. She wears a gray uniform with black trims and a crimson interior. A black detachable cape with red lining rests on her shoulders, with two crimson braided cords connecting from the left breast pocket to the shoulder's rank strap. She sports a green-colored gem with a single dark velvet ribbon necktie that stretches down into her uniform, with red buttons with black borders. The right side of her uniform lifts a little to short the bottom of the waistcoat, colored black with red lining to match the cape. She retains her white gloves and trousers, but her knee-high heeled boots are recolored to match her uniform.

Iris is a brave, diligent, and prideful swordswoman who earnestly strives to fulfill her duty to protect her kingdom. She is revered as an exemplary warrior and princess by not only her people but the world as well. Ever since Iris was young, she was held in high regard for her abilities and accomplishments, which led to her people regarding her as the pride or icon of Midgar. She works diligently to uphold not only her father's but her people's expectations of her as a symbol of hope, protection, power, and victory. However, later in the story, these expectations would soon cause Iris's mental state to deteriorate.
Despite being a princess, Iris lacks the political and leadership skills to manage her organization, the Crimson Order . She admits that Alexia Midgar is smarter than her and implies that her own sister would do a better job with the organization. This can be inferred that Iris has a slight inferiority complex, but despite that Iris continues to improve her skills. At times, Iris's stubbornness out of pride prevents her from seeing that there are other beings in the world who are much stronger than her, such as when she overestimated her abilities to defeat Shadow , to the point that she denies believing that Shadow's power is realms beyond her own, like Alexia claims until she was easily defeated by him.

Iris's cracked sword symbolizing her crumbling mental state

After any certain incident that occur following the emergence of Shadow Garden , Iris was left feeling inadequate and useless as she couldn't do much politically or physically. She felt the need to prove her worth and redeem herself at the Bushin Festival. However, the combination of her defeat by Mundane Mann (Shadow), the high expectations of her people, and the previous incidents crushed her mentally. Iris's loss to Shadow left her with a strong desire for revenge and an obsession with becoming stronger. Unfortunately, these desires caused her to become mentally unstable and gloomy. After the whole Cult debacle and personally realizing that Shadow Garden is strong and secretive, they do not seem to manipulate or cause mass death like the Cult (Specifically the Fenrir Branch) causing her to release her obsessive focus on beating Shadow and slip into a period of depression and self-reflection.
