Gyokuen Ren

Gyokuen Ren is the widow of Hakutoku Ren and the current wife of his older brother Koutoku Ren. She is a Dark sorceress with imense power.

## Apperance

Gyokuen is a slim, youthful woman of average height. She has pale blue eyes, which turn black and glow red when she reveals her corrupted side. She has short, dark blue hair, with two long braids tied in loops. She has thin eyebrows, a mole on her chin, and usually wears red lipstick. She also wears a small hat decorated with a flower-shaped jewel, and floor-length pink and white robes. She is noted for being a great beauty.

## Personality

It is uncertain what was Gyokuen's original personality was, before Arba possessed her. In Hakuryuu's memories, Gyokuen appeared as a gentle and loving mother, protective of and showing care towards Hakuryuu and Hakuei after they survived the fire that killed their father along with Hakuyuu and Hakuren. However, after being possessed by Arba, Gyokuen's personality transformed into something twisted, deceitful, cunning, sinister and cold; as she was smiling while pretending to cry.

## Powers and Abilities

Nothing is known about the actual Gyokuen's abilities, since she was possessed by Arba way before the story begins.

As a Magi, Gyokuen, while under the control of Arba has near limitless Rukh/Magoi. She is proficient in using Black Rukh and is also capable of stealing Black Rukh from other users. She is capable of attacking on the level of an Extreme Magic multiple times in a row. Gyokuen was the one who mediated regarding the dungeons and metal vessels in the Kou Empire. In other words, she thought that no matter how many metal vessels she allowed the humans to obtain, they could never be considered a threat to her.

### Physical Abilities

Claiming to be the strongest swordsman in Alma Torran, Arba is very skilled in swordmanship as she was also the one who trained Solomon sword-fighting when they lived in Alma Torran. Thus, Gyokuen was easily able to fight and subdue Hakuryuu in a one-on-one sword fight and hold her own against Hakuryuu and the two generals Kokuhyou Shuu and Seiryuu Ri.

### Wand

Gyokuen has a tall wand with a curved, jeweled head. This is actually Sheba's Divine Staff that Arba stole after killing her.

### Magical Abilities

**Borg**: This is said to be the proof of a Magician. It is a defensive ability. It blocks out attacks with evil intentions. It also blocks out all physical attacks and magical attacks to some degree. Its strength, however, depends on the person. Gyokuen's Borg uses Black Rukh. Without a wand, it is strong enough to push back a Full Djinn Equipped Hakuryuu Ren.
* **Borg Al-Samm** (*Eight Headed Defensive Wall*): This is a Magic created from Borg. It enables Gyokuen to manipulate and expand it offensively, creating dragon heads from her Borg in Black Rukh. She adapted this technique from Sheba.

**Strength Magic**:
* **Medoun Al-Samm** (*Funeral Destruction*): This magic attacks the opponent in the direction of her hands destroying everything in its path to inflict a huge amount of damage to the opponent. This magic was so strong, that it heavily damaged both Judar and Hakuryuu Ren, leaving them extremely injured on the ground.
