Thirteen

Thirteen is a reaper who was first mentioned in Obey Me!'s Main Story as "the reaper" in Lesson 35-5, though her first proper appearance was in Lesson 65-3. Her first appearance in Nightbringer's Main Story was Lesson 11-6. As a reaper, Thirteen oversees the Life Candles representing the souls of humans, demons, and angels. She is considered a side character in both Obey Me! and Nightbringer, meaning that she is not currently included in either game's Intimacy system.
== Appearance ==
Thirteen has long, two-toned hair parted in the center. The colors are a gradient of electric pink at the roots that becomes iris blue once it reaches her ears. Unlike most other characters, Thirteen's eyebrows do not match the hair color on top of her head. Instead, her eyebrows are blue, which matches the length of her hair. She and Mephistopheles are the only two characters where their eyebrow color does not match the hair color on the top of their head.
Her eyes are a gradient of lime green and electric pink with vertical slit pupils. She also commonly wears eyeshadow the same two-toned colors as her hair, and maroon red lipstick. Her nails are painted canary yellow. Her skin is pale, and on her right leg she has a dark grey marking shaped like a skull.
== Personality ==
Thirteen is someone who has no qualms with saying what's on her mind and with doing what she wants to do no matter what others think about it. She chose to be a RAD exchange student not because of any interest in bringing "harmony to the three worlds," but because she was simply curious, as she told Diavolo in Lesson 69-16 (OM).
When first asked about enrolling at RAD in Lesson 11-6 (NB), Thirteen rejected the idea and compared school to a prison. Despite this, she did choose to wear the uniform Diavolo gave her when making his offer. She then altered said uniform to suit her taste, and explained that she preferred this look as it suited her personality. She also added her customized uniform was far better than the black, tattered rags that are presumably the traditional attire of reapers.
Her goal in later changing her mind and choosing to spend time at RAD was to have some fun, and try out some of her trademark traps, of which she's very proud of and happy to show off, as she did with her "Ozzie Octopus" trap in Lesson 66 (OM). She's also happy to use class time to work on creating new traps, and does so even after being warned by Mephistopheles she's not allowed to in Lesson 76 (OM). Creating traps is one of her main hobbies, as mentioned in her character introduction video, and she gives every one of them a unique name. As seen in Lesson 65 (OM) and the Devilgram Panic! At the Trap, Thirteen takes offense if someone insults the names of her traps.
She is also disappointed if she is not given the opportunity for her trap to be successful. In the chat The Paper Plane Tournament 7, she quickly lost interest in participating in a paper plane tournament when she was told that traps are prohibited during the tournament. In the chat Any Ideas?, she insisted that all traps must involve some danger.
Thirteen is a reaper that prefers to keep to her own company, and told MC in the chat Alone Is Better that she prefers going out alone, that way she "[doesn't] have to worry about anyone but [herself]." Unlike all the other RAD exchange students, who share a living space either in the House of Lamentation or Purgatory Hall, Thirteen continues to live in her cave.
She is someone that has definite opinions on things, and is more than willing to argue with those who think differently, as she did with Asmodeus in the Devilgram Battle for the Bread!. In the same Devilgram, as well as in Lesson 66, Thirteen showed that she has a very strong competitive spirit, and does not like to lose.
While Thirteen told MC in the Battle for the Bread! Devilgram that she sings karaoke on occasion, she isn't the strongest singer. Asmodeus commented that she was "completely tone-deaf."
=== Preferences ===
==== Likes ====
* Thirteen has a sweet tooth, as seen in Lesson 72-7 (OM), when MC was able to convince Thirteen to answer some questions after she was given sweets made by Luke.
** In the chat Wanna Get Ice Cream Together?, it was revealed that Thirteen likes caramel, as she was overly determined to try Demon-Dazs' ultra-creamy hell caramel ice cream.
* She is also partial to strawberries, as she said in the chat A Sweet Offer.
* Thirteen enjoys playing games, but only if there are stakes of some kind involved. As she told MC in the Devilgram Western Showdown, she finds playing games just for fun to be boring.
* She thinks little dogs are the best, and argued that they are cuter than large dogs in the Devilgram Battle for the Bread!.
* Thirteen is a fan of "experience reports," such as articles about the experience of playing Fangol, as she mentioned in the Devilgram Connecting Through Fangol.
==== Dislikes ====
* It seems that Thirteen has a dislike for angels.
** She refers to Raphael in Lesson 65-9 (OM) as an "arrogant, self-important angel."
** In the same lesson, Diavolo remarked that he expected that asking a reaper and an angel to work together would be difficult.
* Thirteen dislikes the idea of anyone considering her "lame," and commented in the Devilgram Damaging Dark Delusions that "cringy stuff" is the "complete opposite of her aesthetic."
* In Lesson 31-8 Hard (NB), Thirteen said that she "just can't stand" being out in the rain, and finds it aggravating.

== Powers and Abilities ==
As a reaper, Thirteen possesses many unique powers. As mentioned in her character introduction video, she has lived for over a thousand years. Reapers have the important responsibility of watching over the Life Candles that represent the souls of all humans, demons, and angels. She can also alter the lifespan of those the candles represent if she chooses, as explained in Lesson 35 (OM). As mentioned by Solomon in Lesson 36 (OM), Thirteen also has the ability to harvest the souls of the living.
Thirteen is apparently capable of teleporting at will, and didn't seem to use a spell or incantation when teleporting from the Reaper's Cave she lives in to MC's room in Lesson 50-A (NB). She is also capable of sending objects between dimensions, as seen in the Pop Quiz Dark Eternal Bliss. Additionally, she mentioned that she felt like she could find a way to travel between dimensions herself.
She lives in an ensorcelled cave that is designed to prevent those who enter it from reaching the final level. Each level in the cave has a rule that must be followed, and breaking said rule has consequences. In Lesson 35-12 (OM), Solomon explained that the reaper determines these rules.
== Etymology ==
* Death (XIII) is the 13th Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks.
