**Note: Attention! If you are going to make a Noah, you have either a choice of an OC with a unique Memory or using the canon Noah associated with a particular Memory. Eighth Apostle Wrath position is expected to open up once the Ark plot is concluded and if necessary, Noah's Bonds will be placed together as Tenth Apostle and leaving Eleventh open. But that's only after the other positions are filled. =)

[ProtoXtreme]

Username: ProtoXtreme
Name: Rhode Kamelot
Name Meanings: Rhode=a Greek goddess, Kamelot=idealistic
Race: Noah (Ninth Apostle Rhode of Dreams)
Ethnicity: British
Birthplace: England
Rank: Of the Kamelot Marquisdom, Eldest Child of the Clan of Noah.
Age: 47+ (appears twelve)
Gender: Female
Hair: Purple/Black
Eyes: Purple (Golden in Noah form)
Appearance (white side):


Height: 148 cm (4'10'')
Weight: 37 kg (81 lbs)
Birthday: 20th of June
Horoscope: Gemini
Bloodtype: B
Equipment: Candy? Lero???
Powers/Abilities: Besides the main Noah abilities of regeneration and superhuman speed and strength, along with the command of Akuma, Rhode is capable of constructing doorways to connect the spaces between dimensions. Her actual power is to warp reality and thus, she has complete control over the dimension of dreams: it is because of her ability to connect her world with the real world that she is granted jurisdiction over dimensions, marking her as the only Noah capable of traveling freely through dimensions as she wishes without reliance on the Ark.

As the first child, the Eldest of the House of Noah, Rhode shares further jurisdiction with the Fourteenth, the Youngest child, over Noah's Ark. This command over the Ark belongs solely to them, not even the Earl himself holds the same rights to the Ark as the Eldest and Youngest child. Rhode usually tends to bring along Lero on her outings, generally without the Earl's permission. Along with riding (or stepping on) the protesting umbrella golem like one would a witch's broom, singing her haunting, twisted songs in a falsely cheerful voice, in terms of intimidation alone, perhaps few of the Family could surpass the Eldest, who with her dreamscape, greatly enjoys breaking both the mind and body of her victims. After all, everything that occurs in the dream realm too occurs in reality and even for a member of the House of Noah, she has an unnaturally sadistic delight for blood.

With telekinesis, she is able to summon and reproduce chosen things from her dream realm into reality (for Rhode, her candles), and to utilize them as weapons. By extension of her usual telekinesis, Rhode can also utilize her telekinetic powers to read the hearts of others. A further case is using this kind of telekinesis to establish a "bond" (usually after the person in question had been trapped in her dream realm at least once, but as in the case of Lavi Bookman, she displays that she is capable of this even before). Once the connection to a "guest" of her dream realm has been established, she is capable of reading the thoughts and feelings of that person and this connection does not expire even if the victim somehow managed to escape the dream realm: the "guest" can anytime find their way back to that dreamscape if they are careless (and by a less extension, if they wish to) or in the reverse, as Rhode is capable of visiting their dreams, for all the dreams of the world are interconnected.

With her power thus, the Eldest is able to exhibit great control and influence over the thoughts and actions of others.
Memory Synchronization: 144% - over 100% (consumed by the Memory)
Derivative Techniques:

☂ Command of Akuma and their self-destruction activation.
☂ Superhuman speed and strength.
☂ All Noahs have regeneration, but the Eldest and the Youngest child were known for complete regeneration. Rhode's complete regeneration was attributed to the fact that she kept her real body not in the physical realm (her real body is suspected to be stowed away in a dream). Her regeneration was only notably slow in healing the Innocence fragment Jitsuzai's injuries.
☂ Ark Manipulation - The Eldest child's birthright, the manipulation of Noah's Ark. Rhode is capable of activating its self-destruction function, as well as to transfer its programming.
☂ Astral projection - Creating illusions of herself in her dream realm, which is then brought to the real world. This is a very special connection for Rhode can feel and touch the things in the real world despite not really being there and others too can "touch" her. Jitsuzai appears to be able to seize this connection and inflict harm on her true body through the link to the astral projection (not truly attacking the illusionary Rhode but Rhode's real body).
☂ Physical form manipulation - Noahs do not age after the transformation, Rhode in actuality should be nearing fifty.
☂ Telekinesis - Rhode's primary choice of combat is summoning her candles which is produced in her dream realm and using telekinesis to control them for attacks. Her telekinesis also includes suspending objects (most often Lero, who she then steps on like a witch's broom).
☂ Barrier creation - Produced in her dream realm, which is then brought to the real world. Her barriers take the form of translucent cubic-shaped dice.
☂ Dreamscape creation - Rhode's most feared and also main ability.
☂ Telepathy - Attributed to her power to "connect" not just her realm with the physical world but also metaphysical connections with another's mind. Rhode is thus capable of reading not just the minds but also the hearts of others even if they are not part of her Noah Family (to whom she shares a mental link with along with the Akuma). The only one who can deflect her powers was the Youngest, who until the day he died, had remained an enigma to her.

In Depth: Rhode really is an enigma. One moment, she can have a childish fit, and in the next, be perfectly serious about business. Perhaps this is because she had lived for so long but for Rhode, unlike her brother Tyki, how she acts is not necessarily constrained to either her "black" or "white" forms. If it is to be most accurately noted, perhaps it can even be considered that particularly because she was a Noah for such a long time, she is considered the epitome of perfect synchronization of the host with the Noah Memory she is possessed by.
Likes: Allen Walker, Uncle Millenie, candy, Tyki, Lero, and Sheryl, her papa. Too bad papa came in last...and of course she greatly appreciates her whole Family. She also enjoys making fun of the Akuma and of course, committing herself to pranks and making the Black Order's life miserable in general.
Dislikes: Jitsuzai's accommodator has recently made it to the top of her dislike list. (Good job, stupid boy!) And of course, Innocence, Exorcists, and humans. And people who hurts her Family. But mostly Innocence. Maybe even the stupider Akumas too. That's why you never, ever take Level Ones out on a proper mission...something is bound to go wrong. Then again, Level Twos are pretty stupid too, too easily distracted...and almost all of the Level Threes she brought to London didn't even get a chance to fight! Hmph, stupid Innocence! Unforgivable!
Other: School should burn. And Math, too.

Trivia:

♔ Spoken Languages: Fluency in British English and Latin but attained the speaking of all tongues to have ever existed through possession by the Noah spirit.
♔ Favorite Color: Crimson Red
Red (desher) was the color of life and of victory. During celebrations, ancient Egyptians would paint their bodies with red ochre and would wear amulets made of cornelian, a deep red stone. Seth, the god who stood at the prow of the sun's barque and slew the serpent Apep daily, had red eyes and hair.

Red was also a symbol of anger and fire. A person who acted "with a red heart" was filled with rage. "To redden" meant "to die". Seth, while the god of victory over Apep, was also the evil murderer of his brother Osiris. His red coloration could take on the meaning of evil or victory depending on the context in which he is portrayed. Red was commonly used to symbolize the fiery nature of the radiant sun and serpent amulets representing the "Eye of Re" (the fiery, protective, and possibly malevolent aspect of the sun) were made of red stones.
♔ Favorite Gemstone: Ruby
The ruby is the most commonly mentioned stone in the Bible. It is said that the ruby was the most precious of the twelve stones made by God when He created the world. According to the Old Testament's Book of Exodus, God commanded a ruby to be the first stone placed on Aaron's breastplate. The Book of Job implies rubies were held in high esteem when Job declares
"the price of wisdom is above rubies". This thinking is repeated in Proverbs 31, which states: "A virtuous wife is worth more than rubies".

Such was the esteem and respect held for rubies that anyone wearing one was said to be blessed with wisdom, health, wealth, and great success in love. Those fortunate enough to acquire a ruby gained the ability to live in peace and harmony among enemies, and were assured of a lifetime of spiritual health and well-being.

Some cultures believe that the stone bestowed invulnerability upon their owners. As the stone of prophecy, rubies are said to darken to warn of imminent danger. The gemstone is said to act as an antidote to poison and to possess the ability to heal the blood.

For these reasons, the ruby has become the gemstone most allied with royalty. Sovereign heads would wear rubies or keep them close at hand for protection, and to warn them of impending danger. Their gift of prophecy was thought to give rulers the ability to make wise decisions on behalf of their state and its citizens.

The word for ruby in the ancient Indian Sanskrit language translates to "king of precious stones". In Asia, rubies were revered and used to decorate nobles' armour, sword scabbards, and harnesses. Warriors sometimes wore rubies for their protective abilities during battle. Rubies were placed underneath a building's foundations to bless the structure with good fortune.

Ancient cultures used rubies to treat digestive, blood, and heart ailments. When rubbed on the skin, a ruby is said to restore youth and vitality. A ruby can aid the early formation and development of a fetus in pregnancy, and is effective against stimulants like coffee and drugs. Rubies represent passion, desire and devotion, and are supposed to heal heartbreak.

Naturally, its wonderful colour makes fire and blood the elements most affiliated with the ruby. It was believed all rubies contained a fire that could never be concealed, not even when the stone was worn under clothing. This energy could be transferred into water, so a ruby placed in water would cause the liquid to boil. The word "ruby" is derived from the Latin "ruber", meaning "red". Ancient Indian Vedic Astrology associates the ruby with the sun.

As Hindu people belong to different sects according to their respective gods, so they classified rubies into four separate sects. These ranged from the most valued and darkest red stones to the less popular, lighter-coloured ones. During medieval times, rubies were segregated, with the darker coloured stones being classed as "male" over the lighter "female" stones.
♔ Favorite Flower: the English Rose
The rose, a sweet-smelling flower that blooms on a thorny shrub, has had many meanings in mythology. It was associated with the worship of certain goddesses and was, for the ancient Romans, a symbol of beauty and the flower of Venus. The Romans also saw roses as a symbol of death and rebirth, and they often planted them on graves.
♔ Favorite Food: Candy, of course!
♔ The Eldest had always been favored by the Earl but became most favorite after the Youngest betrayed the Family and ran off post sabotaging the Ark.
♔ Notably, aside from the Earl himself, Rhode had only ever kissed Allen Walker.

Love Interest/Crush: Allen, Allen, Allen. In the past, she had been extremely close to the Fourteenth, but ever since the Youngest child wiped her memories for his own reasons, the only thing she recalled at first (for a long time) was the shadow of his face. It greatly unsettled her that she cannot even recall his name, and even more strangely so, not even remembering the true name of his Noah. Perhaps that was why she is so attached to Tyki, because the former resembles a lot like the Youngest, and of course to Allen, because he is technically the next reincarnation of the Fourteenth. But she doesn't know that (yet).

During recuperation after the disastrous mission to London, in the form of dreams Rhode had regained more fragments of memories concerning the Fourteenth. Through the dreams, she recalled his voice, and following the dreams of the path leading to Judas' secret garden of blue roses, she saw the doll that the Earl had created as a tribute to the "lost" sheep of their Family (the doll was created after the Youngest was killed). Subsequently, this visitation triggered the memory of the Fourteenth's face. Undoubtedly, both Rhode and Shirayuki are confused and unsettled in the aftermath - why does the former Fourteenth looks so much like Allen Walker?

Past: Her years as a human, before the stigmata had set in, like many of the awakened Noah had become a blur. She remembered bits and pieces of the time before the transformation and the awakening, however: after all, the first person she killed when she became a Dream was her own loving, widowed mother. Beyond that, she could only remember fragments of her early years as a member of the Family: the Fourteenth child had certainly done something to her Memory. Once a while there would be a familiar voice, his shadowed face, and of course, that lullaby. But sometimes, she wonders why she is still alive: the Fourteenth had killed all of the Noah of the previous generation...so why was she spared? And the memory of the lullaby, and the fragments of dreams, seemed so tender, and bittersweet... Besides the Earl, she is the only one remaining of the previous generation of Noah's Family.

During the mission to London, in an attempt to retrieve the Innocence fragment Jitsuzai, Rhode was terribly injured by the new accommodator, Sharen Loisel. She had trapped him in her dream realm, naming her demands to her deadly game if he desired to escape and left it upon the boy to rescue the others who had been trapped in her world as well (because she was furious with the Exorcists for interfering and threatening her Family, she left no exits for the others to find). So everything weighted on if Sharen won her game. The price? Only but just his life, of course. However, Rhode had underestimated the boy's intuition, because no other had been able to fulfill her wish before, and not only did he solve her puzzle and break her dream world (arousing too a forgotten memory) but to add salt to the wounds, Shyao injured her again with Jitsuzai in her own realm.

During her recuperation, Rhode remembers two fragments of memory from the past regarding the Fourteenth: one was before the betrayal, and the other was of his death. She does not realize the true implications of why those dreams would appear before her now, of all times.

Ambition: To see the end of the world, so she doesn't ever have to do another homework assignment ever, ever again. She would've asked her papa if she could marry Allen, but that's probably not happening.
Fear: After the Fourteenth slaughtered the Family of the previous generation, her greatest fear is losing them again. For while they do reincarnate...the next incarnation just is not quite the same anymore. Also, ironically, as was revealed in the fragment of the past during her recuperation and the words to the stray Level Four which attacked her and Shirayuki, it is suggested that despite the fact that he had slain his own kin, the Fourteenth's death had still emotionally destroyed her.

Relationships: Millennium Earl
The Eldest is very affectionately close with her older brother, her uncle in the real world and as Tyki notes, even among the Family, the only person she had ever given a kiss to. She is the only one of Noah's family to address the First apostle Adam informally as 'Milleny/Millennie'. As the Eldest, and the Earl's apparent favorite, she enjoys a lot of leeway, particularly when it comes to stealing Lero for her ventures. The Earl would only lightly reprimand her each time (unlike the umbrella golem's threats of a beating, which Rhode merely scoffs at).

Unfortunately, after the disastrous mission in London, the Earl in his fury grounded half of the Family who went. Rhode is currently very exasperated and irritated with the fact that she was among the grounded. Life wasn't fair. Little does she know, the Earl had a by far more important reason to keep her safe in the house.

Tyki Mikk
Third Apostle "Joyd" of Pleasure. No one knows exactly the reason why, but the Eldest, after the Earl, is presently particularly close to Tyki (her uncle in the human world by adoption). Even if he can't do her homework as perfectly as the Duke... That's ok. Rhode regards Tyki's apparent interest in Allen (and his even greater attempts to hide that) with great amusement.

Sheryl Kamelot
Her adoptive father, the Fourth Apostle "Desires" of Noah's Greed. When Sheryl married their human noble mother, he took the name Kamelot, and in turn when he adopted Rhode, gave the name to the child. Well, while she loves her papa, Sheryl can get quite a bit...overprotective (in papa-antenna activation mode). And Rhode so does not agree that she needs extra schooling...she'll make her Math grade rise!

Sheryl presently is furious with Jitsuzai's accommodator, not so much for the reason of Innocence, but for the reason that his precious daughter had been maimed.

Skinn Bolic
During the Eighth apostle of Wrath's awakening, Rhode comforted Skinn with sweets when the terrible potency of the Memory of Wrath overtook the former sailor. Ever since then, Skinn held an obsession for sweets.

Jasdevi
She notes the twins of Noah's Bond with amusement, even while Tyki sighs at their mischievous antics. Of course, one mischievous spirit would always agree with another...pluralize that.

The Musician
At first, she remembered not his name (she still does not), not even the true name of his Noah. All Rhode knew was that the Youngest killed all of the previous generation of Noahs, sparing only her, had attempted to kill the Earl, and lost his life. Her feelings for the musician are mixed: remembrance of a warm lullaby, gentle, caring hands...and also the one nightmare even she cannot chase away: the fragmented memory of her Family's massacre.

Recently, she had recovered two more fragments of memories concerning him. However, Rhode does not reflect on it, believing to perhaps only be a side effect, for the aftereffects of recuperating from Jitsuzai's wounds included a temporary loss of her own power. Little does she know the strange recovery, even though the memories were only barely enough of fragments, as well as the "rediscovery" of the Youngest's secret garden, was tied in fact to another important occurrence (the stirring beginnings of Judas' Awakening in Allen, who is presently recuperating in the Asia Branch Headquarters after his disastrous encounter with Tyki Mikk).

Allen Walker
She met Allen Walker in the rewinding town with his teammate Lenalee Lee. Unbeknownst to him, at the time, had she not called off the trio of Level Twos, he would've never survived. In the circus where they [Allen and Lenalee] were working with the Innocence fragment's host-apparent, Miranda, Rhode first met Allen as 'a little girl wanting to buy tickets to the witch show'. Afterwards, Rhode attacked them, and brought the three back to Miranda's apartment, before trapping all three in her Dream realm.

There, Allen challenged Rhode's philosophy, and as the first human to be able to somewhat back up his words, she took a liking to him instantly: for that sad, foolish kindness, believing he can be an Exorcist and pity Akuma at the same time. When Allen could not find it in him to shoot her - a "human being", despite knowing her regeneration capabilities as the Eldest Noah - she took all the more curiously to the young Exorcist.

Shyao (Sharen) Loisel
Seven millenniums ago, one of the companions of the Heart Innocence user, the wielder of Jitsuzai, killed the first Ninth Apostle Rhode of Dreams with the fragment that held "God's Reality" under its jurisdiction. If Rhode had known Jitsuzai, at then buried under a noble's mansion, was the fragment that was causing the earthquakes in London, she would've gone out of her way to destroy it at any cost. Unfortunately, neither Rhode nor her Family who attended (Leena, Reza, and Tyki) expected that Jitsuzai was waiting for its host, hence the fragment reacted very violently to all Akuma and Noah attempts to even approach the area. During the party, Jitsuzai withheld from destroying the area even though Noah and Akuma had both entered its territory because its host, Shyao, was also present.

In the battle that ensued, Shyao managed to synchronize with Seiren, and the parasitic-type Innocence took on a materialized form in order to protect its master. Rhode did her best to destroy the fragment but ended up sustaining serious injuries not once, but twice.

Needless to say, ironically, even after the ordeal, Rhode grudgingly respects Shyao for his intellect (as well as general surprise that he found what she had demanded and thus earned the exit from her dream realm), but claims that she won't forgive him, because in the days following that she was stuck in bed recuperating (as her regeneration slowly quickened again being away from Jitsuzai's power), she had missed school and thus needed to make up both schoolwork and homework. Annoyed with that discovery, Rhode lays claims on Jitsuzai's accommodator. No other Noah is allowed to touch her prey.

Lulubell
Lulu is boring. Very boring. Most of the time. But that's when Lulu is following Millenny's orders to the bone. That's no fun! Why doesn't Lulu understand? But Lulu agrees Tyki looks pretty in a dress. Rhode rescinds her opinion: Lulu is actually cool!

Shirayuki Nagareboshi
Shirayuki was very lucky due to the circumstance surrounding their first meeting. The Second Exorcist at first came to the Noah mansion as a hostage that Tyki Mikk took after the disaster that was London, thanks to Jitsuzai's appearance. To this, even though Lulubell expressed confusion as to why bothering to take an Exorcist when the Order would certainly not come, Rhode in her white form, not minding to the smaller matters surrounding the circumstance, was more than happy to have a new playmate. Needless to say, Rhode quickly grew attached (quite literally so) to Shira and also even was willing to show Shira Judas' special garden of blue roses, to which Rhode had priorly planned to confirm the truth of a dream she had the previous night (in her feverish delirium) on her own.

In the hidden garden, a stray Level Four attacked Rhode, who had been rendered powerless during recuperation thanks to Shyao's Innocence and was very human at that time, thank you very much. Needless to say...Shirayuki selflessly moving to protect her did trigger too the long forgotten humane side of Rhode: a side to which Rhode had once claimed to have "died" during the Awakening. Who knows? Perhaps this, too, was Jitsuzai's intention.

Username: ProtoXtreme
Name: Formerly Neah Walker in his past incarnation's human life. His "siblings" refer to the Musician with fear, respect, and hatred: "Judas" most frequently both for his betrayal and the memory he holds as "God's Praise" - Noah's "Youngest" child.
Name Meanings: Judas=praise, Neah=child of God/Israel
Race: Noah (Fourteenth Disciple "Judas" of Noah's Praise)
Ethnicity: British
Birthplace: England
Rank: Formerly adopted by the Duke Millennium
Age: The original Fourteenth Apostle died young, and the last incarnation died when he was only sixteen.
Gender: Male
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Liquid Silver (sometimes appear silver-gray)
Appearance:




Height: 166 cm (5'5'')
Weight: 48 kg (103 lbs)
Birthday: February 20
Horoscope: Pisces
Bloodtype: AB
Equipment: The piano, Timcanpy.
Powers/Abilities: Proclaiming himself as "the Noah who will end everything", his actual power is "Will" - whatever he wishes to come true becomes reality and he is able to influence the minds of human, Noah, and Akuma thus. With such a power, all prior generations of "Noah's Will" held complete jurisdiction over the Ark that surpasses even the Earl and the First Child. The honorary title "musician" refers to the Fourteenth of the last generation both by his traditional method of command over the Ark (which, like the first predecessor and the Earl himself, Neah Walker had utilized the same instrument: the piano with the Noah lullaby) but also because music was his preferred form of offense. The Earl himself had awarded his favorite child with the title.

His preferred form of offense is usually singing: the former Fourteenth was a natural descanta (normally an impossible occurrence unless by castration - castrato, the male equivalent singing voice to the female soprano and synonymous rival to the descanta voice, is an ephemeral singing voice considered the voice of angels and is present in young boys prior to puberty, or in its early stages. When one becomes Noah, aging stops, and thus preventing the larynx from lowering to its adult stage, the Youngest child was a natural descanto).

His song, by his choice, can go from either paralyzing to petrifying, or killing anyone who listens from inside out (damaging their insides), though Exorcists whom bear parasitic-type Innocence are noticeably more durable to his deadly aria. He can reprogram (modify) Akuma by invading their core with physical contact, but he can also use his music as a medium for reprogramming or even influencing his will (not necessarily through music) to force Akuma evolution and he could thus trigger evolution in even a harmless Level One. Certain notes spoken by him, even if expertly hidden in regular speech, are capable of influencing the actions of others. In the past, he displayed that he could utilize his power to reveal and materialize the "melody" of every thing of Creation - even Innocence, displaying a far stronger sensitivity than his siblings to be able to track fragments - and by the jurisdiction of his will, to locate what he wants by their "melody".

Just like the nature of his abilities is basically twisting reality (time and space), the boy is of a clownish nature, and greatly loves to play with the minds of Exorcists, Noah, and Akuma alike. He can, if he so wishes, even replicate his siblings' powers. He does not choose to do so mostly, however, because that would be uninteresting. The memories of each prior "white" side accumulates for the holder of the Memory of Will and unlike his siblings, the human side does not fade after awakening. However, having reincarnated only once, thus explaining the previous generation Youngest child's unnatural strength, the shade of Mana Walker's brother also makes up most of the Noah of Praise's moral side. But unlike his "white" side, the Noah side of the Youngest is sadistically sensual and, unbound by the petty restriction of conscience or morals, would even delight in giving the "kiss of death" to enemies and willing their body to literally incinerate from inside-out.

As much as he is destructive, the Noah of Praise is equally capable of creation. Undoubtedly, hosting this particular memory of Noah makes Allen Walker a wild card in this war, the "joker" in this play of the Apocalypse.
Memory Synchronization: 121% - over 100% (consumed by the Memory)
Derivative Techniques (most well known uses):

۞ Command of Akuma and their self-destruction activation.
۞ Superhuman speed and strength.
۞ All Noahs have regeneration, but the Eldest and the Youngest child were known for complete regeneration. For Neah, this was thought to be attributed to Judas' specific power.
۞ As the Earl's favorite, he was taught to proficiency in magic - something the Earl later would come to regret.
۞ Ark Manipulation - The Youngest child's birthright, the manipulation of Noah's Ark. Though Judas is capable of activating its self-destruction function, as well as to transfer its programming, it should be known that he is the only one who can stop its destruction mode and even restore the Ark's programming from nothingness to completion. Only he and the Earl directly manages the Ark's "heart" - both using a piano.
۞ Akuma Modification - The Fourteenth child is special in his unique ability to modify Akuma: true modification, not just manipulating the Akuma by suppressing its programmed tendencies with magic. Judas is capable of completely severing the Akuma's link to Adam, thereby stopping the Earl from being able to instigate blood-thirst within the modified Akuma.

However, because the Akuma still need a living source (this was the price for bringing back the dead), they are connected to him: a secret to which the Youngest child takes great care to hide from others that he must give the Akuma modified in such a manner his own blood (fulfilling thus the thirst for human blood, because Noahs are human, despite everything). Notably, the Fourteenth can constrain the "self-destruction" activation option so much to the point that even the Earl himself (let alone the other Noahs) cannot initiate it, and limit thus the activation of the "self-destruction" option in a modified Akuma to only himself.
۞ Physical form manipulation - Noahs do not age after the transformation, and the Youngest was no exception. Neah Walker priorly had awakened young, about the same age as the time of death of the original Apostle of Praise.
Life Draining Kiss - The Youngest, through a kiss with a victim, is capable of draining their body of life (thus forcibly aging them) and adding that to his own lifespan (which consequently would de-age him by the same number of years taken from the victim).
۞ Siren's Song - None of his arias or sung melodies ever have to be exactly the same. It all depends on how the Youngest utilizes them (either by adjusting the frequency of the tone or the nature of the melody itself). This particular form is as the name suggests: though not necessary, the Youngest preferred using this method to call Akuma to him and when broadcasted through Noah's telepathic link, is capable of overriding all attempts to resist the summons. It is also the same aria that is used to influence people, but he could hide certain key notes of the aria in normal speech too.
۞ Aria of Imbalance - Similar to a Level Four's Akuma scream, this particular aria form can disrupt Innocence synchronization: but not just Innocence synchronization, all Akuma and even Noahs are affected without discrimination and this aria causes extreme pain. If it is continued, the Aria of Imbalance can even cause "breaking" - damage to the nerves.
۞ Gorgon's Siren Melody - A form of aria that seems to induce petrification upon its listeners. Unless Neah made sure to go the extra measure, their bodies don't turn into actual minerals. It would just be effectively similar to a full-body lock that only remains as long as the aria is in effect.
۞ Destruction Hymn - The Destruction Hymn appears to work as a more violent form of the Aria of Imbalance, except in the form that those who listens to the melody will be destroyed from inside-out.
Aria of Death - It is similar to the Life Draining Kiss, except in the form of an aria, the melody will drain the life of everything in the surroundings, thus killing every living thing in the area in such a manner, leaving nothing but a barren wasteland.
۞ Aria of Lamentation - By singing a twisted lullaby, or any melody of his choosing, the Youngest is capable of inducing Akuma evolution. He is able to reverse this in the same manner though the trapped soul's distortion does not change in the reverse (if the soul degraded from a forced level-up, de-leveling the Akuma does not reverse the damage done to the soul).
۞ Aria of Bonds - With this melody, the Youngest child can make the awakening process more bearable for waking Noah: by sharing the pain and partly transferring it to his own body.
۞ Blank Melody - Another of the Youngest child's most favorite methods of combat: the cancellation aria works similar to Rhode's jurisdiction of the entering of Innocence in her Dream realm. In the set area of Neah's choosing, Innocence are not able to be invocated (if invocated already, innocence will simply not work) and also the permanent (if he chooses to) chaining of Akuma ability to utilize the powers they gained from evolution.
۞ Calendula Requiem - This form of aria (usually the Youngest will sing or hum Noah's lullaby) allows him to make into visibility the melody of every living thing in the world, to which Innocence and Dark Matter is also included (because the two opposite affinities possess a will although not technically living in the biological sense). In this way, he can 'echolocate' Innocence and their future accomodators, as well as track any Akuma he seeks (because they have slightly differing melodies due to possessing different wills/different personalities). Though he can trace Innocence in such a manner, the Heart has countering powers and such guardian fragments ('fake baits', to which Jitsuzai can be considered one) to shield it, so he will not be able to differentiate between such Innocence melodies and easily locate the Heart from its "knight fragments". However, he will be able to tell if it is a already synchronized or not fragment by the tone of its melody alone.
۞ Reverse Telekinesis - Though he has the capability to duplicate his sibling's powers, the Youngest chooses not to utilize telekinesis, except in cases of protecting his own mind from mental intrusion. This includes Fifth Apostle Demon-eye Wisely and Ninth Apostle Rhode. Reverse Telekinesis also includes an interesting form commonly used by the Earl himself. Neah too is capable of connecting with Akuma in such a way that they can act as extensions of his consciousness "his eyes, ears, hands, and feet".
۞ Pyrokinesis - Appears to be attributed to the Fourteenth child's true Noah form (appears like a flaming skeleton). Pyrokinesis works similarly to Rhode's telekinesis, except configuring combustion at set areas and distances of his particular choosing.
۞ Devil's Touch - An alternate form of Neah's preference to use fire-related displays. In this case, he can corrode things he touches in such a manner, or to make them burst into flame.
Boundary Corrosion - This form instead aims to corrode the boundaries dividing the human host and the Noah entity. With this ability, the Fourteenth Noah notably can significantly quicken the Awakening of new Noahs or even urge them to "give in" completely to their respective Memory. This is alternatively also done on Akuma, to force them to evolve.
Kiss of Death - Alternate form of Devil's Touch and one of his more sadistic mannerisms of killing. With a deadly kiss, Neah is capable of incinerating the body of the victim from inside out.

In Depth: Marian Cross is the only one who remembers the Fourteenth well: to all others, he remains an anomaly.
Likes: Unknown (but hinted sympathy in his sparing the Eldest)
Dislikes: Earl, the Noah Family - even suggested displeasure with the Black Order.

Trivia:

※ Spoken Languages: Fluency in British English and Latin but attained the speaking of all tongues to have ever existed through possession by the Noah spirit.
※ Favorite Colors: White, Silver
The color white (hedj, shesep) suggested omnipotence and purity. Due to its lack of color, white was also the color of simple and sacred things. The name of the holy city of Memphis meant "white walls". White sandals were worn at holy ceremonies. The material most commonly used for ritual objects such as small ceremonial bowls and even the embalming table for the Apis Bulls in Memphis was white alabaster. White was also the heraldic color of Upper Egypt. The "Nefer", the crown of Upper Egypt was white, even though originally it was probably made of green reeds. The pure white color used in Egyptian art was created from chalk and gypsum.
※ Favorite Flower: Mountain Lily
To the ancient Egyptians, the trumpet-shaped lily was a symbol of Upper Egypt, the southern part of the country. In the ancient Near East, the lily was associated with Ishtar, also known as Astarte, who was a goddess of creation and fertility as well as a virgin. The Greeks and Romans linked the lily with the queen of the gods, called Hera by the Greeks and Juno by the Romans. The lily was also one of the symbols of the Roman goddess Venus.

In later times, Christians adopted the lily as the symbol of Mary who became the mother of Jesus while still a virgin. Painters often portrayed the angel Gabriel handing Mary a lily, which became a Christian symbol of purity. Besides being linked to Mary, the lily was also associated with virgin saints and other figures of exceptional chastity.
※ Favorite Gemstone: Pearl
Pearls are universal and by nature tend to bring people of all nations together. It is a single entity that personifies beauty, unity, peace, and oneness. The pearl has an important place in all the religions of the world. Ancient mythology treats pearl as a union of fire and water, the result of lightning penetrating the oyster. It represents fertility, birth, and rebirth and symbolizes innocence, purity, perfection, humility, and retiring nature.

In Buddhist literature, it is shown as one of the eight treasures - the heart of the Buddha and pure intentions. The "Flaming Pearl" is recognised both by Buddhists and Hindus as the crystallization of light, transcendent wisdom, spiritual consciousness, and the spiritual essence of the universe.

It is known as the third eye of the Buddha as well as of Shiva. The Christian literature draws a simile between the kingdom of God and a priceless pearl.
※ Favorite Subject: Music, naturally. His Noah entity's particular affinity allowed him to fully master any instrument he comes across within an extraordinarily short length of time.
※ Mana was a nickname that Neah as a child had called his older brother.
※ The Fourteenth had always been the Earl's favorite child.
※ Notably, before Allen, Rhode had only ever kissed the Youngest child aside from the Earl himself.
※ The Earl represents time, while each of the twelve Noahs who are his bodyguards represents an hour of time. Judas, as "the thirteenth hour", represents the destruction of time and thus his very existence makes him an anomaly: because from the very start, his existence opposes the Earl's very own.

Love Interest/Crush: Unknown

Past: Orpheus of Music: the Unwanted, Most Beloved Child
Theme: Jigoku Shoujo - Jigoku no Kawa Nagare
"Don't push yourself...I'll be by your side, no matter what." -14th Noah, to the Earl
His exact origins are a mystery, born to a clan who was supposed to only have Thirteen in number. But the Earl, even now, remembers that the first Fourteenth child had once promised to remain by his side no matter what: a memory that clearly brings great pain of the terrible betrayal.

When the first Fourteenth died, he never reincarnated amongst his Family. The ages flowed on, and the Fourteenth child's existence was forgotten.

Until the last generation of Noah's Family.

The younger son of a low-ranked noble became the new bearer of "God's praise". When the stigmata broke its wounds across his brow, the elder brother cared for the younger. With each passing day, and the fevers and pain growing worse, more and more so, the new host greatly feared dying: if he died, how sad his brother would be!

...then the Earl and the Eldest came for him.
He took their offer for immortality...
...and left his brother.

The Bearer of God's Will: Noah's Praise
Theme: Midnight Syndicate - Grisly Reminder
"Are you all right, Rhode...?" -14th Noah, to the Eldest
How happy the Earl was!

The Family had already been gathered complete but an unexpected awakening, the long-lost Fourteenth child, took the Noah Family by shock. During the first few days, the Family mock-sparred with the Youngest child, to see what kind of power he possessed, but without trouble, he defeated them all. The Earl was most pleased at this, even more so delighted when the Youngest displayed complete jurisdiction over the Ark: for each time a Noah is killed, the next incarnation would suffer damage, and a great loss of power...however, this child was only the first incarnation of Will since the original Apostle of Praise.

He played the piano for his siblings...
...and read to Rhode before bed.
She adored him...
...and so did the rest of Noah's family.

But due to uncertain rifts (the Noah Family no longer remembers the exact reasons), perhaps part out of the sake of his older human brother (certainly if all humanity was destroyed, that included his human brother too), the Youngest child of the last generation sabotaged the Ark with his power and went on the run. He found his brother and they changed their names to Walker (the Family does not realize this even now) all the while the Earl sent the clan out to hunt down the Fourteenth child.

It was during this fugitive time that the Youngest made contact and befriended Cross Marian: leaving behind the secret of the Ark in the form of a very special golem he had created, Timcanpy, and he taught Marian the secrets of magic that he as the Youngest, as the Earl's favorite child of the Family, had learned, and made arrangements for an instrument "to carry on his will" should the worst happen. Shortly after, a cult of the allies to the Youngest child arose. Among those vague years, there was suspected rumors that he was involved in many more things, even suggested partial allegiance with the Black Order, however, for now, they remain mere rumors.

The Earl had terribly underestimated the existence of the child who should've never been born. In a gamble, because the Earl knew one by one they will not prevail, he sent the whole clan to bring the boy back. But the Youngest child single-handedly slaughtered the whole Noah clan (furthermore, with many of them having never achieve 100% with their respective Memory but the Youngest was able to give in to the Memory of Praise, yet also to retain his original identity) and he spared only the Eldest and assured damage to all of their hosted Memories. Their subsequent incarnations, too, shall be delayed, due to such extensive damage.

He later faced the Earl in combat, and was very close to victory, however, having suffered fatalities from the previous difficult battles that assured even as the Youngest there were injuries that Noah's complete regeneration capability cannot heal in time. The Earl destroyed the Memory of Praise: taking care to assure the 14th spirit of Noah would never, ever reincarnate again. However, the First Apostle's memory was damaged severely too and with the Fourteenth's passing, the Youngest child had given the Exorcists and the Order much needed years to build in strength.

...and all the while, the host he has set as his next reincarnation grew up.

Ambition: To kill the Millennium Earl, and to take the place of the First Apostle. His exact reasons, however, remains a mystery.
Fear: When he had been alive, his greatest fear was losing his beloved older brother. For surely, if the Earl's design was to wipe out all of humanity, humanity happened to include Mana in there too.

Relationships: Mana Walker
The memories of Mana's little brother had been accumulated to the "white" persona of the Noah of Praise. His beloved older brother, who had remained by his side even during the terrible pains of the awakening as the Praise of Noah's first incarnation, had never left the boy's side, even when the younger pushed Mana away in a fit of wildness when the stigmata wounds broke across his brow.

However, Mana gave the first incarnation of Praise the will to continue to live, despite the fact that the terrible transformation was akin to dying, and being reborn again. He left Mana with an offer from the Earl and the Eldest of the Noah Family...so it was assumed the last incarnation of the Youngest child returned to Mana out of guilt.

Millennium Earl
The original Fourteenth child's promise to the First apostle Adam remains shrouded in shadows. However, when the first incarnation of the Noah of Praise was finally born to the Family, the Earl was wonderfully delighted, and had favored the Youngest just as much as the Eldest: perhaps even more because of the child's absolute control of the Ark, and also the boy's own endearingly clownish nature (so much like his own).

However, as they say, the greatest affection brings forth the greatest hatred in betrayal and the terrible betrayal of the Youngest, despite paining the Earl to this day, always arouses terrible rage from Adam. Yet, despite this all, the Earl still misses Neah.

Rhode Kamelot
Presently the nature of their relationship in the past remains unknown because the Youngest erased all her memories of him before he died. He was her favorite sibling among the Family, and as the one she held dearest, her affections linger strongly to this day: hence also all the more stronger too her horror.

Perhaps he had not realized sealed memories still appears in fragments to the Noah who controls Dreams in the form of dreams, and Rhode remembers enough of the massacre: a terrible nightmare that she recalls with great sadness that brings forth great pain to this very day.

Cross Marian
When he first met Cross Marian, Cross was merely just another Exorcist. At the time, he had been on the run from his Family with Mana but after engaging the other and Marian's partner Maria in combat, the two later took a liking to each other. Soon enough the two even befriended one other: Cross finding the renegade Noah quite interesting, and Neah also, the other way around. Marian was quite different from the other Exorcists he met...not self-righteous at all, yet all the more self-righteous too (b*****d!). Never once did Marian claim the war was fought in the name of God, but rather admits openly that the so-called 'holy war' was for the sake of the Pope in Rome's religion rather than for the survival of humanity.

The extent of their relationship is presently unknown. Neah made arrangements with Cross for meeting his next incarnation and further showing Cross the secret of the Ark. However, both realized the present generation cannot hope to defeat the Earl, with his Family completed and so, the Youngest made Cross promise: keep Mana safe, and he would be sure to return.

He would return to aid in the assurance that the apocalypse does not come to be. But in the meantime, it was all he could do to buy the Black Order time.  

[MiniMidget]

Username: MiniMidget
Name: Chou
Human, Noah or Akuma?: Level 2 Akuma.
Age: She was 6 when she died. Her skin is that of a 28 year-old woman.
Gender: Female.
Appearance:

Height: 5'6" (Human Form), 6'8" (Akuma Form)
Weight: 127 lbs. (Human Form), 232 lbs. (Akuma Form)
Techniques:

• Spider's Kiss
  Chou bites into her victims with her fangs to inject akuma blood. Akuma blood can be very lethal when introduced into a human's body. The virus spreads rapidly, symptoms visible on the body as pentacles and as a result, the body crumbles into dust. Noahs are immune to the affects of akuma blood and exorcists with parasitic type innocence can cure the virus. This technique can be used in human form as well.
  
  
• Self-Destruct
  Like her fellow akuma, Chou is programmed to self-destruct upon the Earl's or a Noah's command. Those caught taking the full brunt of the explosion will find themselves, if not dead, heavily injured at the very least.
  
  
• Black Spinneret
  Shoots out a web of dark matter that entangles those caught in it. It's sticky and firm enough to stop an enemy in his or her tracks. And the web can absorb some of the momentum of an attack and reduce its damage to a certain degree, depending on how well the web is constructed. Sometimes Chou shoots strings of web out to propel herself into the air quicker (think of Spider-man swinging building to building). This technique is best used to intercept attacks, entangle an enemy, and stall pursuers. This technique be used in human form as well.
  
  More possibly pending.

Equipment Pending. May or may not have any.
Powers/Abilities?

• Hydraulic Pressure
  Spiders do not have muscles in their limbs. Instead, they rely on hydraulic pressure to extend them. They can generate pressure to eight times their resting level, allowing Chou to jump at great heights and distances. This makes her capable of many acrobatics that help her dodge attacks despite her large size.
  
  
• Bristles
  In her legs are thousands of bristles that allow her to walk along the sides of walls or upside down on ceilings. They also act as touch sensors; the bristles are very sensitive to forces and vibrations. This is more important to spiders than their eyes in the midst of a hunt. These bristles are sharp enough to irritate her opponents skin, should Chou decide to strike with her legs. Note, however, that they do not contain any poison.
  
  
• Coloration
  Chou can change her body's pigmentation to allow her to camouflage and lurk. Only those with dull color vision would be able to spot her.
  
  
• Itsy Bitsy Spiderlings
  Chou's body, be it akuma form or human form, is a host and incubator to many tiny spiders. She can release them out of her mouth or from the holes in her hands. These spiders are then sent out to gather up nutrients (blood) from dead corpses to bring back to Chou. This is generally how her healing and feeding processes go. They also make very good discreet spies and scouts.
  
  More possibly pending.

Past:

Unconditional Love
Theme: Hitamuki na Omoi
"You probably don't know... but Kaa-chan is most beautiful when she smiles."

Afternoon.

A little girl is sitting with her legs folded in wait outside the entrance of a classroom, fingers tapping on her knee impatiently. Light brown eyes are glaring at the sun dipping over the horizon and making splashes of color in the sky. The last thing she wants to do is wait for her sensei. Especially when all the other students have been dismissed from their classes. Especially when the little girl wants to go home, home to her mother.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Her small ears perked upon picking up the steady scraping of wooden sandals across a wooden floor. The door slides open and the little girl is gestured inside to a soft white pillow to rest her aching knees on. A middle aged balding man sits across from her.

"Do you know why I called you here, Chou-chan?" he asks gently.

The way Sugawara-sensei seemed to look in her eyes, it was as if he was searching for a specific response from the child in regards to his words. Piercing. When he did not get the reaction he expected, he sighed and rubbed at his forehead tiredly. Then, he looked gravely at Chou.

"Today, one of your classmates told me she found bruises and cuts on your arms."

The child only blinked, much to the man's dismay.

"And," he patiently continued. "Some of them were a few months old."

Still no reaction.

"... are you okay Chou-chan?"

"I'm fine," she immediately answers, no hesitation in her voice.

But her words did not convince her sensei.

"If you're okay then why did you have to be rushed to a healer today? Why did you collapse if that's not the case."

"I was tired," the child insisted.

...

"If there's a person or a group of people that are hurting you, Chou-chan you can talk to me. Or some other adul-"

She shook her head, "I said I'm okay!"

Yet her sensei pressed on, "There are plenty of people here to help you. That can protect you, Chou-chan."

"There's nothing wrong! How many times do I have to tell you that!?"

"You're just a child. You don't understand Chou-chan," Sugawara-sensei sadly told her.

Now he was sounding like Otou-san. Otou-san was a bad man. A bad man who broke Kaa-chan's heart and her smiles. And because he broke Kaa-chan, Kaa-chan had to drink disgusting medicine that tasted worse than and more bitter than regular medicine to fix her heart. Medicine that made Kaa-chan feel dizzy and vomit. Medicine that made her mother angrier and hit her. But...

"We can't help you unless you let u-"

"I like it! Mind your own business!" and with that, the little girl ran off.

When Otou-san lived with them, the house was so noisy. And hateful. They would always shout and yell and cry. Chou hated it. One day Kaa-chan and Otou-san decided they hated it as well... so they decided to live in two different houses. Her father decided he wanted to live with a woman who wasn't as pretty as her mother. And her mother didn't like that, didn't want to be alone. But while there were two parents, there was only one Chou. They looked at Chou and made her decide who to live with. Pressured and pushed. But that was unnecessary. Chou picked Kaa-chan at the drop of a hat. The look on Kaa-chan's face... her smile was so magical, so brilliant like the sun. That's how Chou knew she had made the right choice.

People say that love comes in different forms. She hits Chou, and only Chou, because she loves Chou.

No one else.

Therefore Chou is special.

These scars are proof that Chou is the most beloved child in the world.

Seams of a Fraying Mind
Theme: Suna no Oshiro
"Did you hear about that fire that burnt down an entire tenement in the seventh district? A total disaster. Five people were killed. One of them was a teenage boy and another was a child. The only thing that was left of them were ashes."

...

When had she...?

She was sleeping? For how long?

All she remembers... was waiting alone at home for Kaa-chan. There was some sort of light that started off warm like her blankets. But then it got hotter and hotter and woke her up. She wanted to get away from the angry lights but it blocked the doors. She would have escaped through the window if she wasn't so afraid of heights. It got harder and harder to breathe... and then... Chou got really sleepy.

A nap sounded really nice...

"Wa... u..."

It's a... voice.

An urgent voice. A really, really pretty one.

Where has she heard it before...?

"Wa..e... up"

This time the voice was more clear. But still sticky with static noises.

The static noises would go away if you adjust the radio dial y'know.

Is what she wants to say... but the words won't come out. Why? Where's her voice?

"No... n't... work... ne... na... name. Cal... r... name."

This time, it was a different voice... like a man's voice. But it wasn't Otou-san's.

"Wake up, Yamashita Chou."

Much better now. See? The dial is what makes something sound clear or not.

Wait. This voice is... Kaa-chans voice? Oh... oh! I'm here, Kaa-chan! I'm here!

When she opens her eyes, she starts to feel weird. Cold, really cold... and hungry. Not good. Chou did not like this one bit.

Where's Kaa-chan?

She wanted a hug to brush off this hateful cold.

"Kaa-chan?"

"Ch-chou...?"

It was Kaa-chan alright. But there was something different about her. Since when did Kaa-chan shrink so much?

Wow! Kaa-chan's almost her height!

And Kaa-chan... her eyes were wide as if she had been spooked by a ghost. But that was silly, adults are never afraid of ghosts.

And what was that on her face...?

Tears?

"Why are you crying Kaa-chan?"

Nonono... Kaa-chan shouldn't be crying. She should be smiling because Chou is here. Stop. When you cry Kaa-chan, Chou doesn't know what to do to make them stop. It makes Chou want to cry too! Stop it... stop...

"STOP CRYING!" she shrieks.

"Here... I'll help you make her stop," the voice giggled.

That voice sounded like a kind man. The same one who was talking to Kaa-chan earlier. But she doesn't recognize it, Kaa-chan's latest boyfriend maybe?

And then this... this hand?... It was metallic. Like the Iron Giant, or one of those industrial robots that the other children would be when they played pretend. But her hand wouldn't move when she wanted it to and it moved when she didn't tell it to. Like someone was controlling it with a remote.

Why?

Is it broken?

Maybe they should go to a doctor to fix it... no... a toymaker would be more appropriate.

That hand shot out and grabbed for Kaa-chan's heart. And like a miracle, she had stopped crying. Chou feels relieved and whispers a small thank you to the voice in her head. But Kaa-chan's tears were still there. Oh... oh, even when her mother is sleeping, she is so pretty. Like a Sleeping Beauty with a red rose in her chest. A beautiful red. Blossoming like redredred roses.

But... it was all over her hands. So messy. It felt sticky, really gross... yet strangely pleasant? There was something different about it this time, but Chou wasn't too sure. She had to go get it off her hands. Chou's eyes skimmed across the grave and noticed a lake nearby. Then, she heaved her heavy legs that were metallic like her hands. Stupid legs. Stupid hands. One leg in front of the other, then then another step. One after another while making clanking noises to towards the lake. Then, she peered over its waters and was shocked to see what stared back at her.

Ugly.

Everything about her was metallic, ugly, and stupid. No wonder Kaa-chan was crying.

How... how should Chou fix this?

The voice whispered... it whispered to her, "If you put on her skin, you'll become beautiful like your mother."

This time the voice sounded like her grandpa before he went into a deep sleep like Kaa-chan. But it wasn't grandpa. Yet something about it, something about that voice that jolted her stupid and ugly metallic hands. And so she obeyed the voice. Slipped on the skin, kind of like those girls who played dress up and never invited her. No... this was better. Much better. And she was having more fun than those stupid little girls.

It strangely fit perfectly.

Chou closed her eyes.

Warm, her mother's skin felt so warm, like a hand that slaps her face. Wet, like her arms when pointy broken wine bottle glass tickles them. Warm and wet. As expected of Kaa-chan's skin. The little girl giggled and twirled around in her new dress, feeling like one of those enchanted sparkling princesses. Like a Cinderella. The little girl bent over the lake and peered at her mother.

"Good morning Kaa-chan."

She smiled. Then, Chou found herself stunned when the woman in the lake did the same. Pretty, sparkly like the sun. But better, because when you look at her smiles it doesn't burn your eyesight and make you blind. Just as she thought, Kaa-chan is most beautiful when she smiles.

Theme: It's Only The Fairy Tale
“How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

The rest after that was hazy... she didn't realize that she was even was asleep or for how long... and it was dark. So very, very dark. It was a really dark cocoon. She dreamt of traveling to many places, so wonderful and magical! Places she never knew could exist out of Japan. And during it all, she dreamt that she was hungry... very, very hungry. Because she was so hungry, she decided to make many, many, many people blooming red roses like her mother. Some of them tasted sweet, sweeter than chocolate. Others, especially the old people, tasted bitter, like Kaa-chan's medicine. Old or young, she would watch them all fall asleep. Some of them decided to dream with her.

Until one day, she felt a change.

"Wake up," the voice ordered.

"You have evolved."

She opened her eyes, and saw the world quite strangely this time, with... three sets of eyes? All while... crawling out of her cocoon. But she did not have wings like a butterfly. No... she had lots of... legs this time.

Long.

Spindly.

Hairy.

Ugly.

But at least they weren't made of cold hard clunky metal. She used to have... hands? No, she still does. Two right in front of her. She wriggled them for good measure. And...

Name.

A name... she had... a name?

Name...

Ch...

Chi...?

Ch...

Chou!

Andandand her... last... last what?

It slipped like a dream.

Oh well. If she doesn't remember it then it probably wasn't important at all. More importantly, what did the voice say about... "evolve"?

"What... what do you mean... by... that?"

It felt weird to talk. As if she hasn't really done it in a while.

"It means changing into something better."

Oh, now she remembers! It was the same voice from before the dream. Something inside her says that it's weird to hear voices in her head, but does that even matter? He helped stop Kaa-chan's tears and he sounds like a nice man. He didn't sound like Otou-san at all.

Still, Chou didn't like what he said.

"But... this body is ugly."

"Ah, that. Don't worry about that. That's just one of the stages. If you make enough red roses bloom, you'll be able to evolve into the next stage and become... a butterfly."

"A pretty butterfly?"

"The prettiest of them all."

"Really, mister?"

"Why would I lie?"

Chou-dictionary (In alphabetical order no less!):

• Caterpillars
  Chou's views on the existence of akuma are very skeptical... despite being an akuma herself. She thinks she's just she's dressed up in a spider lady costume whenever she transforms. She doesn't view her fellow level 1s, 2s, and 3s as one. In fact, she views them as fellow "caterpillars" and calls them such.
  
  
• Mr. Choco
  Is Chou's name for Winters Sokaro. She wonders if his dark brown skin tastes sweet like, milk chocolate or bitter, like dark chocolate. Hence, why she calls him Mr. Choco. She doesn't really like him, since his innocence, Madness, scares her.
  
  
• Noisy Man
  AKA Tristan. This name is mostly derived from all of the incantations he says for his attacks. Chou didn't appreciate that they were adding more noise to the rumbling of the earthquakes. She first saw him in her mission in England accompanying the Noah on their mission to destroy Jitzusai.
