## Shadow Garden

### Cid Kagenou / Shadow

Eta has exhibited a profound and entrancing fascination with her master, verging on a maniacal intensity. Yet, this fervent emotion remains veiled beneath a veneer of indolence, surfacing solely in the presence of her lord. Cid himself has proclaimed that among the seven, Eta is the one who is most akin to him, as she is willing to sacrifice all else solely for the pursuit of a singular passion: her love for research. Admiring his terrifying intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. She firmly believes that he possesses unparalleled wisdom and travelled to Earth solely to acquire valuable knowledge. Eager to please him, she expresses curiosity about dissecting the otherworldly lifeform Akane Nishino and seeks permission from Alpha. Eta highly values her master's wisdom and strongly believes in the interconnectedness of all knowledge, even between their realm's magical technology and the scientific advancements of other worlds. Eta loves Cid as much as like her fellow shades, but her twisted obsession over Cid makes her approach different from the other shades. In truth, Eta is actually madly in love with Cid and wants to marry him along with her other fellow shades, have children with him, and be with him forever. She even said that she would die without hesitation if it meant saving his life.

Intrigued by her master's intellect, Eta becomes captivated by the mystery of his brain's composition. She yearns to delve deeper and explore his physical makeup, including his brain. In her fervent attempts to influence his emotions, Eta previously resorted to lacing Shadow's drinks with aphrodisiacs, hoping to forcefully make him love her. However, failing in her endeavors, she ultimately resorted to poisoning his drink with a potent substance she developed, capable of killing a dragon with ease. Despite her efforts, all her attempts prove fruitless as he remains unaffected, highlighting his exceptional resilience. Eta observes this stark contrast between his immunity and Beta's vulnerability to drugs.

Recognizing her master's apparent invulnerability, Eta contemplates the enigmas that surround him and acknowledges his lack of discernible weaknesses. These mysteries consume her thoughts as she strives to understand the exceptional persona of her master.

Despite Eta faithfully obeying Alpha's every command word for word, she discreetly defied Alpha in the game by meeting with Cid in secret. During this meeting, she expressed her desire to conduct a private reproduction experiment with Cid, the outcome of which would remain confidential, all without Alpha's knowledge.

### Seven Shadows

#### Alpha

The leader of the "Seven Shadows". In the anime, the two maintain a cordial relationship. However, Alpha has shown to be somewhat wary of Eta due to her seeming lack of morals.

#### Beta

A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows". Beta has shown respect for Eta's intelligence, yet also somewhat fears her due to Eta's seeming lack of morals. During the Hot Springs Land grand opening, Eta was initiated to use Beta as a test subject regarding the surge of magical energy under the location, and voiced fatigued annoyance for the elven novelist. This included her opinion on Beta being an airhead with her nourishment only going to her chest, as well as other ego hurting commentary, similar to Lambda's drill sergeant method of breaking self-esteem. However, this could have been partly Eta's views on Beta, as noted by Zeta.

#### Gamma

A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows". While Eta's views on Gamma are unknown, the latter dislikes how much of Shadow Garden's finances the former wastes on her experiments. But this is adequately compensated with the technologies she develops, both for Shadow Garden and Mitsugoshi.

#### Delta

A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows". In the anime, Eta and Delta have a somewhat troubling relationship, as the latter often has trouble understanding the former's scientific remarks due to her low intelligence. In turn, Eta has shown to become uncharacteristically angry whenever Delta accidentally breaks one of her inventions.

#### Epsilon

A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows". In the anime, Eta and Epsilon maintain a cordial relationship. However, Eta has been shown to get angered whenever she feels like Epsilon is mocking her inventions.

#### Zeta

A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows". Eta remains unaware that Zeta is going behind her and the other members' backs by creating her own faction within Shadow Garden loyal solely to her.
