Laplus Darknesss

**Laplus Darknesss** (ラプラス・ダークネス, ***Laplus Darknesss***?), also spelled as **La+**, is one of the supporting characters of Guardians of Harmony series. She is the founder and leader of the Secret Society holoX.

## Bio

### Personality

Laplus is a smug, cheeky brat ("*kusogaki*") who speaks bluntly without the usual politeness/consideration associated with the Japanese language, and flirts shamelessly with other holoCouncil and holoX members. She wants to be seen as an adult, but thanks to her childish appearance and mannerisms, all attempts by Laplus to appear adult-like end up looking very silly.

She thinks highly of herself with pronouns like "wagahai" when referring to herself and "kisama" when referring to a second person.

### Relationships

* **Takane Lui**: Fellow member and friend.
* **Hakui Koyori**: Fellow member and friend.
* **Sakamata Chloe**: Fellow member and friend.
* **Kazama Iroha**: Fellow member and friend.

The crow by her side is a long-time companion.

## Trivia

* La+'s name is also written "Laplus," including in her YouTube channel name and Twitter account name. This may be because the plus character is not always allowed in account names, and is ignored by some search engines.
* The name "Laplus" is derived from the "Laplace Demon," an imaginary being envisioned by and named after 17th-Century French scholar Pierre-Simon Laplace, which posits that an intelligence capable of seeing the positions and movements of every atom in the universe would be able to determine the past and predict the future based on the classical laws of determinism. The lore mentioned by La+ in her debut heavily leans towards herself being said Laplace Demon.
* La+ Darknesss's full name is "Laplus Dia Highest Death Thirteen Daina Art of Impact Sign Emperor Road of the Darknesss".
* She uses the Japanese pronoun "wagahai" to refer to herself. This is an uncommon and archaic term which connotes arrogance. Popular characters who use "wagahai" include Bowser from *Super Mario* series and Morgana from *Persona 5*.
* As a horned figure bent on world domination, La+ resembles the archetype of the Maou, a demon overlord often appearing in Japanese popular fiction. She shares this trait with Nijisanji member Emma★August.
* La+ Darknesss is 139 cm tall, making her the shortest member of hololive yet, just 1 cm less than Himemori Luna and 2 cm less than Gawr Gura.
	+ It is unclear if this figure includes the height of her horns.
* Her fan slogan is "Yes My Dark." It is sometimes abbreviated "YMD," which in turn is read as the very common Japanese surname "Yamada," in a somewhat memetic way popularized by the Cookie☆ fanbase. It doesn't help that Yamada is a rather unremarkable name in Japanese culture, due to its commonality (for example, the Japanese name "Taro Yamada" is comparable to the English/American "John Smith" as a stereotypical "bland" or "generic" name).
* Some of her aspects resembles holostars member Kageyama Shien. For instance, their position lore-wise, as well as their way of opening streams are similar, and they primarily feature black and purple on their stream background.
