Lucy (Elfen Lied)

==Summary==
Kaede, better known as Lucy, was the original Diclonius, the fertile "Queen" that spread the Diclonius virus to create more of her kind. Abandoned by her parents as a child, she was raised in an orphanage, where she was isolated and mistreated thanks to her horns. When her bullies killed her pet dog, the trauma caused her to lash out, using her Vectors for the first time and slaughtering the lot of them, and beginning her slow descent into greater and greater violence.
Sometime later, after being captured by the Diclonius Research Institute and escaping, Kaede was shot in the head, causing her to develop an alternate, innocent personality known as Nyuu, a coping mechanism representing her ideal self that would present her with some possibility of redemption.

<tabber>
|-|Child Lucy=
Multiple Selves (Type 1; Lucy possesses 2 personalities which behave as separate consciousnesses at this time: Kaede and the DNA Voice), Enhanced Senses (She can see the Vectors of other Diclonii and can detect their presence, as well as any evil intent), Telepathy (Diclonii can telepathically communicate with each other), Additional Limbs and Vibration Manipulation (She has at least 14 invisible arms called "Vectors" which she can vibrate at different frequencies for different effects), Intangibility and Invisibility (Her vectors can phase through objects and are invisible to the naked eye), Limited Disease Manipulation (She can infect humans with the Diclonius virus, a non-combat applicable virus), Rage Power, Limited Flight (Lucy, like the other Diclonii, can use her vectors to levitate and even transport herself through an entire city. Used them to fly up a cliff), and Size Manipulation (Can make her vectors large to be able to grip a normal kid with one vector)
|-|Teen Lucy=
Same as before, but one more personality (Nyuu) and other abilities are enhanced plus Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Stealth Mastery (Remained undercover from the police & other investigators for years by sneaking into houses and inducing heart attacks & strokes), Pain Manipulation (She, like her Silpelit underlings, can induce pain by striking and severing the nerves of her victims), Explosion Manipulation & Radiation Manipulation (At their highest frequency, Lucy's Vectors cause immense explosions), Reactive Evolution (Her vectors were stated to be . After having her horns broken, something that is supposed to kill Diclonii, she notably grew in strength after they grew back and got a few new abilities), Fear Inducement (Instilled fear into Nana after waking up while sick), rage power allows for Transformation (Can grow her horns, which allows her vectors to grow stronger, faster and longer), Resistance to Pain Manipulation (Superhuman stamina and sheer willpower allowed her to push herself far beyond her previous limits even while melting at much more accelerated rates), Radiation Manipulation and Extreme Heat (Diclonii were stated to be resistant to radiation, and Lucy was caught in one of her explosions -which are nukes- and seemed unaffected by any of the heat and radiation)
|-|End of Series=
Same as before minus Transformation, but enhanced even further plus 14 more vectors plus Recreation of Vectors (Can recreate her vectors after being erased ) Weather Manipulation (She created a storm on top of the island of Enoshima), Forcefield Creation (Can create perfect forcefields around her), Illusion Creation (She can induce illusions on the person she chooses), Biological Manipulation (She can use her Vectors so precisely as to affect and manipulate the bodies of others on a cellular level, and she can use this ability to heal others or herself), More potent Size Manipulation (her vectors can grow to the size of city blocks and even the size of islands) and more potent Fear Inducement (Scared a Vector Craft, which is a conscious Diclonius, with her sheer presence, and when enraged it collapsed)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Below Average Human level physically (Is a little girl with no Superhuman feats of her own at this time), Wall level+ with her Vectors (Can casually cut through mobs of people. Jumped to the top of a cliff, punching a hole in the ceiling of a train car in the process), higher while enraged | Street level physically (Chucked a grown man to the ceiling and ripped the head of Kisaragi easily), Building level with her Vectors (Casually threw a boulder at Bandou. Because she is always getting stronger, she should be far stronger than when she blew up portion of a building prior to her 3 year imprisonment in the DRI), higher when enraged (Overpowered -even straight up one-shot- several Mariko clones who are comparable to Nana despite being stated to be weaker than the original. Shot down a helicopter with a small rock) | At least Street level physically, at least Large Island level (Drilled a two kilometer hole through a small island and caused a nuclear explosion as she began to evolve past her limits, with this explosion causing a +30 meter tsunami), possibly Moon level with her Vectors (Her Vectors grew large enough to become visible from space, her Vectors were stated to be capable of from just a glance at an unknown fraction of her full power, and the planet itself. Should theoretically be able to output this much energy), higher when enraged. She can ignore conventional durability through phasing.
Speed: Below Average Human with Subsonic travel speed and reaction speed (Jumped to the top of a cliff before Kouta could perceive such event with her Vectors) | Athletic Human (Outran police officers) with Subsonic travel speed (Other Diclonii can use their Vectors to launch themselves across cities at high speeds) and Massively Hypersonic reaction speed (Her Vectors can easily deflect bullets, and she once caught a bullet right before it hit her heart after the pain of the gunshot caused her to take control), higher when enraged (Blitzed multiple Mariko clones) | Athletic Human with Massively Hypersonic+ travel speed (Her vectors reached into outer space and then shot back down in seconds) and Relativistic reaction speed (She redirected her space travelling vectors last second. She did this while her body was turning to vapor)
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human physically, Class 5 with Vectors (Can tear the head off of humans), higher with Size Manipulation | Class 5 physically (Tore off Kisaragi's head easily), Class M with Vectors (Lifted a massive boulder with ease after escaping the DRI. Tore off a huge chunk of floor prior to her imprisonment), higher with Size Manipulation | At least Class 5 physically, At least Class M with Vectors (Should be far stronger than before, ripped Anna's arm off), far higher with Size Manipulation
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level physically, Wall level+ with Vectors (She can casually cut entire groups of humans in half with a single swing of a Vector), higher when enraged | Street level physically, Building level with Vectors, higher when enraged | At least Street level physically, at least Large Island level, possibly Moon level with her Vectors, higher when enraged
Durability: Below Average Human level physically, Wall level+ with Vectors, higher when enraged | Building level (Got up fine after being overwhelmed by Mariko, survived Mariko's self-destruction at point-blank range, though it broke her horns), higher with Vectors, even higher when enraged | Likely Large Island level physically (Survived the explosion she caused which happen right above her due to Vectors emerging close to her back. Entropy establishes that energy is exerted back into her), at least Large Island level, possibly Moon level with Vectors, higher when enraged
Stamina: Superhuman. Even when slowly melting, turning to vapor and dying on her deathbed, Lucy was able to power through the intense pain to fight off an entire military assault herself, pushing her abilities farther than ever before.
Range: Below standard melee range physically, Extended melee range with Vectors, higher with projectiles | Standard melee range physically, Extended melee range with Vectors, tens of meters in Long Horns (Her range should be superior to Mariko's), hundreds of meters with projectiles (Can take down air born helicopters with pebbles) | Standard melee range physically, Thousands of Kilometers with Vectors (Her Vectors reached the surface of the Diclonius Research Institute from a cave 2 kilometers beneath the ground, and she was able to reach cloud level with them. She also reached into orbit with them)
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable.
Intelligence: Though she typically relies on her sheer strength, Lucy is a cunning fighter who makes full use of her surroundings when fighting, using objects even as small as a pen as lethal projectiles. Even when outranged by an opponent, Lucy is skilled at using her Vectors to throw objects great distances and will not hesitate to use other weapons such as firearms if they are available. She's no stranger to fighting dirty and will use whatever means at her disposal to defeat her opponents. Her precision with her Vectors is exceptional, allowing her to skillfully remove organs, target and affect nerves, and stitch together Kouta's cells to save his life.
Weaknesses: Lucy is emotionally unstable. Lucy will lose control of her Vectors if her Pineal gland receives any degree of trauma, though she will regain control after a short period of time. It is very difficult for her to use her Vectors while she is under extreme pain. She dies instantly if both of her horns are broken. | Same as before, but she now has the stamina to will herself into using her vectors while in pain. However, during times of great stress or when both of her horns are broken, she may be liable to revert to her more innocent persona Nyuu. While Nyuu is fully capable of using her vectors when in control of Lucy, she is not as skilled and experienced. | Same as before. Overusing her powers will take so much energy that she will damage her body thanks to entropy, eventually to the point that her body will begin to melt and turn into vapor, with her healing ability notably speeding this process up immensely.
*Easily caused a storm.
Notable Attacks / Techniques:
*Vectors: As a Diclonius, Lucy has a set of arms - at least fourteen, in her case - called "Vectors". These invisible arms can be vibrated at various frequencies, which change their effects. At the lowest frequencies, Vectors can harmlessly phase through most materials, which can be used to attack organs, nerves, and blood vessels directly, and she can even remove organs directly. She can use her Vectors at this frequency to stitch together the cells of herself, or others. At higher frequencies, Lucy can use her Vectors as bludgeoning or cutting weapons, to throw other objects and defend herself, or to lift herself into the air in a manner that appears to be levitation.
At the highest frequency, which Lucy can normally only use when enraged or after surpassing her limits, Lucy's Vectors become extremely dangerous explosive weapons, capable of producing high amounts of neutrons and causing nuclear explosions. However, this frequency takes a toll on her body thanks to entropy, causing internal damage and ultimately melting her away if overused.
Normally only two meters long, Lucy's Vectors were expected to grow as she matured, growing to over ten meters after she evolved and grew out her horns. At her peak, as she reached her highest frequency, her Vectors grew large enough to reach kilometers into the sky, and ultimately reached beyond the atmosphere, and would only continue to grow from there, to the point that she could eventually strike anywhere on Earth and kill every human on the planet.
While they are extremely dangerous weapons, the true purpose of Lucy's Vectors is to infect others with the Diclonius virus, rendering women infertile and making it so that any children a man has will be Diclonii. Lucy's Vectors are dependent on her overdeveloped Pineal gland and her horns, so if the gland is damaged or her horns broken, she will temporarily lose control of them, though her horns will eventually regrow.
