Kaede (Elfen Lied)

Kaede, also known as Lucy in her mad form and Nyu in her amnesiac form, is the main protagonist and dissociative anti-villainous serial killer in the supernatural horror anime and manga Elfen Lied. Lucy is the Queen Diclonius, a powerful member of the Diclonius species with supernatural powers, who after suffering from discrimination at the hands of humans, is guided by the mysterious Diclonius DNA Voice to want to kill all of humanity. 
After experiencing amnesia, she develops a childish and clueless personality, only able to make the sound Nyu, hence her name. Throughout the series, she is accompanied by Kouta and Yuka and is a dissociative anti-hero.
She is voiced by Sanae Kobayashi in the Japanese dub, who also voiced the Ice Climbers, and by Kira Vincent-Davis in the English dub. The former who also voices Allen Walker, Asuka Tenjouin, and Natsumi Raimon, and the latter also voices Kokoa Shuzen.
==Personality==
The so-called 'Queen' Diclonius, Kaede (also known as Lucy and Nyu) was both ruthlessly tormented and at times was herself a sadistic tormentor in her own right, driven by both the cruelty she found so often in life, but also by the knowledge that love and acceptance was possible. She succeeded to find a love interest, and it was a boy named Kouta.
As a Diclonius, Kaede possessed power rivaled by few others of her kind, and control over her vectors, mostly invisible telekinetic 'arms', virtually second to none. She was also capable of spreading the Diclonius mutation to the children born to people she infected, with the idea of replacing normal humans with her kind.
She is also the villain protagonist. To see her acts of villainy, go to this link.

==Trivia==
*Kaede and her half-brother are the only Primary or Monarch Diclonius in the series; All others seen or spoken of are Secondary, or Silpelit Diclonii. They could have and sire children; all the others were sterile.
*She appears to be named after a Female Human fossil named Lucy; an Australopithecus whose DNA resides in most humans living today, and at the time considered the oldest. Since Elfen Lied concluded, older fossils have been found.
*Even though the first people whose lives she took, Tomoo and his companions, were children (which is often considered one of the most evil things a villain can do), they were hated so much for what they did. As a result, Lucy not only received little to no controversy for her actions but rather earned sympathy and even some praise and understanding.
