Nox Pendragon (MLIV)

"I am the Darkness and the Darkness is me."- Nox Pendragon
Nox Pendragon was a Main Character and an Antagonist in "Miracula Luxia IV".
A direct descendant of Mordred Darkthrop, she eagerly answered his call and joined him in his final stand against Adam Kaos and his allies, willingly retaining her previous dark self.
She is the daughter of Edward Pendragon and late Mel Pendragon, the twin sister of Uma Braveheart, sister of Devin Pendragon, sister-in-law of King John Braveheart and the aunt of Uma's son- Jonathan Braveheart.
Nox served as a major Antagonist in Chapter V, as well as the penultimate Antagonist in the main "Miracula Luxia" series.
== Overview ==
Nox is a truly wicked woman who possesses a pitch black heart, despite her sister's claims that she is, in fact, a good person deep inside. She has caused a lot of mischief during the time she has been staying in this world, claiming that it was all done for the good of humanity... even though no one dared to believe her.
She has always been interested in her ancestry, often travelling back into the past to witness the events of Darkthrop's rise and downfall with her own eyes. Her enthusiastic demeanor in this field has corrupted her heart even further, turning her into a stone-cold killer who is hiding a dangerous personality behind her seemingly mild personality.
Once Darkthrop was revived again, Nox was one of the first to heed his call. With her powers restored, she wrecked havoc upon the unsuspecting Known Lands, crushing all who stood in his way with little to no remorse.
Nox is a skilled artisan of the dark arts. She has been committing unforgivable crimes left and right. And yet, she was always forgiven by her family, since they still believe there is a chance for her to redeem herself.
If they only knew how wrong they are...
== Personality ==
Nox is an erratic, wicked, sadistic and smart woman. Many of her bad deeds involve lulling her enemies into a false sense of security until she chops them into pieces.
Nox has no qualms about killing other people and shows little remorse when faced with the consequences of her own actions.
Despite being completely evil, Nox is also cautious about revealing her own true nature, believing that it might be the cause of her downfall. When dealing with others (including her own family), she shows a surprising level of caution and cunning, often pretending to be different or trying to help, as opposed to her twin sister who willingly tries to be useful to others, much to Nox's dismay.
Nox also has a slightly mischievous part. She likes to play pranks on her family and often persuades them to go out of their way to do something that is seemingly impossible for them (like forcing Jonathan to embrace the Darkthrop prophecy himself and tricking him into believing she only thinks about his future).
Despite her cold and uncaring personality, Nox also cares a little bit, but only for the people in her family. Sometimes.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* John Braveheart (Caused)
After exhausting both Jon and Uma, Nox is confident that they won't be able to fight back anymore. Thus, she proceeds to let her allies deal with them, hopefully finishing them off before she changes her mind.
However, Jon has previously talked to his father about facing Nox in battle, so John was well-prepared for the inevitable.
Once Jon called his aunt out and forced her to withdraw all of her warriors, this allowed John to sneak closer unseen. Just as she was about to deliver the finishing blow herself, he revealed himself and struck her down, punching her left and right as she tries to resist.
At the end, John forces her to stand up and restrains her, allowing his son to finish her off once and for all.
* Uma Braveheart (Indirectly Caused)
With her speech against her own sister, Uma made her lose most (if not all) hope that the Darkthrop prophecy will be fulfilled. Although she still fought back against her nephew's accusations, she was still uncertain in what she believed in, making Uma indirectly responsible for her inevitable demise.
* Herself (Indirectly Caused)
Since Nox continued to go against her family's desires and kept on fighting for the cause she believed was completely just, Nox also had a small part in her own demise due to her reckless nature.
* Jonathan Braveheart
After confirming that his aunt will never change and that it is best if she is put down before she becomes a danger to everyone else, Jon decides to take matters in his own hands. He grabs his staff and approaches her, hate burning in his eyes as he prepares to do his duty.
Although he is determined enough to get rid of her in one fell swoop, Jon is unable to kill her on the first try. He regretfully keeps on fighting her, even though he clearly desires to simply leave her to her fate and ignore her insults.
Once the third blow is landed, Nox can't take it anymore. She falls limp and soon tilts her head down, defeated.
When her family tries to get a response from her, they realize that it is no ruse. Nox died from cranium damage immediately after falling unconscious.
== Trivia ==
* Nox and Uma are the first twins introduced in the "Miracula Luxia" series overall.
