Miriam (Ritual of the Night)

==Summary==
Miriam was one of the few humans that survived the white crystal transmutation process, and became Shardbinders, granting them the unique ability to absorb demons's crystallized power in the form of shards. She grew up in the Alchemist Guild together with Gebel and a young alchemist Johannes, but unbeknownst to them the alchemists were preparing a ritual which would sacrifice the Shardbinders to open the gates of Hell. Thankfully, under unknown circumstances, she fell in a deep sleep for 10 years and was spared. She awoke to a second demon invasion led by her childhood friend, Gebel and she sets out on a quest to fulfill their promise to each other.
During her attempt to redeem Gebel, she found out he was being controlled by a demon named Gremory with the intent to summon Bael, the King of Demons. With the help of Zangetsu, who lent her Gremory's anathema the Zangetsuto, she frees Gebel from the demon's control, but it was too late as his corruption has spread too much. However, thanks to Zangetsu's sacrifice she manages to defeat Gremory, in the process uncovering that there is more to the plot, as one of the Church's own exorcists, Dominique, has forsaken God and now seeks to summon Bael. She was almost successful, although thanks to Miriam and her companion's efforts they manage to defeat the King of Demons and destroy the castle.
