Wretched Egg

The Wretched Egg is a villain/anti-hero of the series, Deadman Wonderland. She is the alter-ego of the kind-hearted, goofy, comedic Shiro.
Section heading
The Wretched Egg is the exact opposite of Shiro. She is sadistic, psychotic, and Nihilistic appearing to value solitude over companionship and doesn't enjoy sweets but instead eats large amounts of meat (whereas Shiro adores sweets and never eats meat). The most obvious difference is that Shiro is naïve and sweet while the Wretched Egg is vicious, merciless and cruel. The only thing that the two share is their affection for Ganta (though the Wretched Egg's feelings for him are much more warped when compared to the innocent love Shiro harbors for him). Eventually, the Wretched Egg becomes the dominant persona with the Mother Goose System's lullaby no longer affecting her. The persona that was created caused her to go mad. She hopes that either Ganta or Hagire will be the one to satisfy her desires, though what she wants from the former isn't quite the same thing as what she wants from the latter.
The Wretched Egg is shown that is not completely bloodthirsty or mad as despite being attacked by Azami she did not fight back and even answered Azami's question to why she wanted to kill Ganta but was unable complete her answer to her before she died. She appeared to be surprised when Azami died and noted she was like a bird trapped in a cage showing that she held her in a slightly friendly regard.
It is hinted in Chapter 54 that the Wretched Egg's feelings may not be as twisted as first appeared as she stated to Azami that "Aceman didn't come to save me...but he would always come to defeat the villains" she thinks of Ganta while saying this which implies that: she thought of Ganta as Aceman. It is still unknown though what this meant to her as Azami was killed before the Wretched Egg could explain to her further. This comes full circle in Chapter 55, in which she confessed her love for Ganta, and then stated that her wish was for him to kill her all along, and even embed the red stone into Ganta's chest for that sole purpose. She even admitted that she killed his classmates out of jealousy, though whether she was jealous of them for being close to Ganta, or jealous Ganta himself for being able to live such a happy, carefree life after forgetting about her while she was being tortured isn't clear (it's likely both).
