Ataraxis

**Ataraxis** was one of the Serenity Clones and appears in Lunar Shadow as the second to last boss before Aidan Flamberge. She also appears as the penultimate boss of Solar Shadow 2 if the player fulfills certain conditions.

## Appearance

An imperfect clone who most resembles Serenity, her default outfit in *Lunar Shadow* is the same as Serenity Horton's starting outfit, consisting of a sapphire blue shirt with a right sleeve, and no left sleeve; a dark sky blue knee-length skirt, lavender tights and gold-colored Mary-Jane shoes. She covers her left hand with a dark blue elbow-length glove. When encountered in Top Floor SC, just before the boss fight, she removes her shoes, wears a black elbow-length glove on her right hand and wears a face-concealing gas mask.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow*

The first of only two clones to appear in *Lunar Shadow*, Ataraxis was one of the rejected ones and was to be executed in some dungeon, though she hid in the remnants of the Lunar Soul area, near Xyz's room. She is one of the bosses of the Top Floor area, being in the room just before the Top Floor Throne. During the fight, Ataraxis will take damage and then regain her HP several times while firing energy projectiles. After regenerating her HP several times, she'll decide to finish the fight by activating her own Aura. However, though powerful, the aura strips Ataraxis of her immortality, ensuring that she's effectively doomed herself to dying alone.

### *Solar Shadow 2*

It's unknown if Ataraxis somehow survived her fight with Serenity, was resurrected, reincarnated or if she was a copy of the original Ataraxis but regardless; she also appears as as the penultimate boss of the Splendid Tower area instead of Nought Celeritas if the player took the upper path and defeated Demaseor. She attacks using a set of constantly-rotating green beams (rainbow-colored in Bad Heart Mode) which kill the player instantly on contact. Unlike every fight in the game, this is an endurance test where you must dodge Ataraxis's rotating beams (and also her spreadshots once she hits low HP) while her HP drains. Once she loses all HP, she is defeated and an elevator arises to take the player to the Hidden Attic.

## Trivia

* Ataraxis is the first, and currently only, Tainted character to open their missing eye.
* Ataraxis claims that Repose was executed alongside Heartsease and Placidity. Considering that Repose survived to write a book, Ataraxis was either lying, was mistaken or believed that Repose was dead.
	+ All seven Maid variants and Ataraxis use the same AI as Curly Brace battled in the Sand Zone.
* Ataraxis's name is similar to Ataraxia, an ideal state of mind in Stoicism, Buddhism, Pyrrhonism and Epicureanism free of worries and desire. It's also the ideal state of mind for a soldier to go into battle; ironic because Ataraxis herself is considered an imperfect Serenity clone.
