> You've worked so hard, all for what? You should be aware of what this world holds..."MY" world was one like no other. Most could only dream of the things that I'm capable of achieving. Surprisingly enough, I learned something from those mortals I once considered to be my "friends". The fact that they're very gullible and can be easily manipulated. The ability to control them and have them follow your rule just by saying what they want to hear, it's funny isn't it?

## Biography

Throughout the vastness of The ManicVerse, far before any Universes had even come to be, all that was within what was soon to be The ManicVerse were biomes of all unique shapes and sizes. Most of these biomes could be categorized under a single name, “The Hills.” Within The Hills, a group of powerful entities had begun to emerge, the source of their power being unknown, however they were dominating the lands with absolute ease. The control of these entities, later known as the first generation of demons, or The Eldrichments  had begun to spread like wildfire. Within a rather short duration of time, these demons had taken total control of the majority of The Hills, however there were a few regions, no more than a few acres in size that had remained free from The Eldrichments’ reign of terror. Villages and cities alike were all falling to the new empire, the two rulers, one Emperor and one Empress, together, the two being behind the rapid rise in power that the Eldrichments have gained over the course of what could be deemed as just a few short years. Just four years after the Eldrichments had waged war on all other life forms, they had finally won; the results of the war weren’t exactly pretty for either side, given the Eldrichments had lost several million of their own kind, while those that had faced them had lost millions, if not billions of lives had been lost. The Eldrichments had maintained control over the entirety of The Hills for eons to come, everything going according to plan, an era of prosperity and grace now falling upon the Eldrichments. The Emperor, known as Hadeon, and his wife, Thana had eventually given birth to their beloved daughter, Deianira. Her brother was intended to take over after their parents would pass, however, he unfortunately hadn’t survived birth, meaning Deianira will be forced to take the throne once her parents perish.

Years would go by as Deianira began to adapt to the new world that was being set out before her. With this, she began to adjust to the arts of magic. During her early years, she had struggled to control her powers, nearly turning the entirety of the palace into ashes. Of course with time her powers would continue to grow, hundreds of years would pass before she even had the slightest bit of control over her powers. At the age of 500 years old, she had begun schooling, going to one of the best “schools” within the entirety of The Hills. Here Deianira had quickly surpassed her fellow peers, being able to complete the courses her parents had set out for her with flying colors. During this time, she had begun to experience what the “real world” was actually like; her parents always having told her that it was a cold and harsh place, most beings not being too fond of demons, especially of those who are related to the emperor and empress. Turns out that this wasn’t entirely the case, as while many portrayed the entities of “The Hills” as ruthless and vengeful, if shown with kindness, they’ll return the favor. This was something that the young demon always believed in, as she was a very selfless person, always wanting to do what was right, though in the far future, that would change.

As Deianira approached and passed the age of 1,500, one of the most tragic events in the entirety of The Hills had occurred. The day was bright and early, starting out like any other, that was until what many had deemed as “DoomsDay” had finally arrived. Many of the Eldrichments along with several other beings of all shapes and sizes had begun to theorize about the fabled “DoomsDay” or “The Final Sunrise”. A group of powerful beings had seemed to come out of nowhere, sweeping the lands, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in their path. These god-like figures soon came head on with the armed forces that The Eldrichments, this consisting of the best mages, soldiers and overall some of the strongest demons that have ever blessed the entirety of The Hills. Throughout the many battles that occurred within the coming months, the Eldrichments’ forces were starting to dwindle, that being until their foes had finally reached the capital. Within minutes, the entirety of the capital had been destroyed. Deianira had been away, providing aid to those more unfortunate than herself when she heard the news of the attack on the capital. Knowing very well that her parents were there, she wasted no time in making her way back home. Within a few moments, she found herself outside of the gates that led to the capital, or what was left of them that is. Upon stepping forth into what was formerly her home, Deianira was greeted with nothing but destruction; the empire her parents had spent eons perfecting, all reduced to nothing but rubble. She had traversed the smoldered and scorched land in search of survivors and her parents. Deianira eventually made her way back to the palace as she frantically began to call out to her parents, digging through the rubble that was once her house only to find both of her parents together, hand in hand, as they had both been burned and beat severely, their bodies having been crushed by tons of metal and brick.

Deianira was left in a state of grief, the demon having succumbed to her emotions, despite the leader she was supposed to be. With this, Deianira had gone into hiding, secluding herself from the outside world, taking refuge just beyond the border of the ruined city which was formerly known as one of the largest cities within the empire that both Thana and Hadeon had created. While Deianira sheltered herself away from society, survivors began to emerge from their shelters, all of which were hellbent on seeking revenge on the “Gods” that had taken everything away from them, this igniting the fire for an uproar; a revolution now beginning as a rather powerful demon had taken charge, though he started as a simple nobody, he now went under the name of “Annihilation,” promising to restore the power that the Eldrichments had lost that day. Years would pass without any signs of Deianira, most presuming that she had died during the war efforts, though this being the total opposite, as the young demon, not even being 2,000 years old yet, had found herself in one of, if not the most technologically advanced cities that The Hills had (prior to destruction that is).While the city itself was mostly left in shambles, most buildings would stretch several dozen meters underground, most of the equipment being intact, however it all lacked power, this wouldn’t be much of an issue for a powerful demon such as Deianira.

As time went on, Deianira had made her own “base of operations” below the surface of the ruined city, having total access and free reign over anything she could find, that even including plans, blueprints, and several other classified articles. Eons would go by as she refused to return above ground, her fear of what could happen being strong enough to drive even the slightest thought of returning to the surface away. Having learned several new tricks and abilities that she could do with her magic, she had created tunnels that linked almost every building within the city to one another. The entirety of the world above was changing and Deianira was entirely unaware of these changes that were ongoing, however, she had soon made a groundbreaking discovery. This discovery would allow Deianira to warp and alter the very fabric of reality to her will, this power taking the appearance of a decently sized black and red colored cube, however, upon coming in contact with Deianira, the cube had changed to a decently dark purple, the color matching her skin perfectly. This was only one of the many abilities that the cube was capable of, and she knew very well of the possibly infinite power that the cube held. Just being in the presence of an object of such power was more than enough to make someone go mad with power, Deianira and her vulnerable mind being no different. The cube spoke to her, and at first she thought she was going crazy, however she was quickly proven that this wasn’t the case. The origin of the cube’s power was unknown, however in the moment, Deianira didn’t care, the cube promising her absolute power, the possibilities being endless. The demon being blinded by her own desires accepted the deal, now sealing her fate, her demonic soul now being tainted with the intent of something she never knew she had within her, greed.

With her newfound power, Deianira would return once more to the surface, however, she was greeted with something entirely different, the world she once knew now appeared to be entirely different. Throughout the Eons that she spend underground hiding and having gone mad with the obsession over her studies, the revolution that had begun was successful, The Hills having been reformed, however, the size of The Hills was far smaller than it had been originally, the rest of her people having been banished to an entirely different plain of existence. Deianira had found herself in the plains, mountains off in the distance, the sky was a light blue instead of the familiar red that she had been familiar with. All of this change left the demon in a state of confusion, her mind racing with all sorts of questions as she quickly used the cube to transport herself to where her people were, and upon arrival, she was greeted with a very familiar sight. Deianira didn’t need to spend time adjusting to her surroundings, given the place she found herself in, it was quite literally the capital, her home. She knew what had to be done, and with that, she’d slaughter all of those, who even attempted to reach out or converse with her, whether they be total strangers, or those she once considered friends and family, striking fear into those who came across her and altering those of higher power within the Eldrichments’ society. Upon arriving at the palace, Deianira was greeted with some of the strongest and most skilled demons that the city had to offer, however, they were nowhere near powerful enough to even compare to the immeasurable power that Deianira now possessed. She’d mutilate and bend the bodies of those who opposed her in unimaginable ways, often ending with turning their bodies inside out, killing them within seconds, reducing their bodies into amalgamated variations of who they once were. Deianira didn’t spend very long within the palace, as within just a few brief moments, she had slaughtered Annihilation with absolute ease, keeping his head as a souvenir to show her accomplishments. After having slain the ruler before her, she could rightfully claim back the kingdom that belonged to her.

Thousands of years after she began her reign, something interesting had happened. One of her scouts had found something, and upon further investigation, it appeared to be a gateway, or portal of sorts. The rip in time and space had been spotted within the depths of one of the many caves that lay unused and forgotten. The empress, who now went under the name of Dahlia had peered into the portal, and what stood before her could captivate even the dullest of minds. Out before her, was the absolute vastness of space, or so it seemed, that being until she saw what looked to be small white spheres (These being the few AUs that had begun to rise out from the emptiness of The Void). Curiosity peaked within the empress as she left without a moment's notice, leaving her second in command to lead her kingdom while she was away. Upon reaching out to the closest sphere (the only reason she’s able to quite literally walk through the vastness of the Void being what the cube had done to her.) her hand had slipped through the surface of it, almost like water. With this, she’d step into the sphere entirely, her vision briefly becoming nothing but darkness. As quickly as the darkness had come, it left, now leaving the Empress out in an open field, a large city could be seen off in the distance, along with towering mountains. Spending several hours to get a grip on the world she found herself in, she had come across a strange looking being, they went by the name of Ajax. As usual, she’d put up her formal and polite persona, trying to seep information out of them, which of course worked as she had quickly found out that two races, humans and monsters, were on a direct course to initiate a war between the two races, and the monsters would clearly struggle to stand up to the sheer will power and magic that the humans had. Dahlia knew this was her time to shine, so of course she offered her assistance. The two soon met up with the King of Monsters, Asgore Dreemurr, and devised a plan; unfortunately, Dahlia had shown up just too late, as before the plan the three came up with could be executed, the monsters had been forced out of their city and up the mountain, here they were sealed underground for the many years to come. Here, the monsters had constructed a civilization, a place for them to stay while they searched for some sort of exit. Dahlia, despite her initial intentions, had grown quite close to Ajax, or as most called him, Gaster. The two eventually decided that they’d be able to spend the rest of their days, this allowing Dahlia to begin her plans. She eventually gave birth to a child of her own, unfortunately, he hadn’t survived the birthing process and was pronounced dead merely minutes after having come into the world. This left both parents devastated, Dahlia handled the loss far better than her husband, this being because she was well aware of the goal she had; if they couldn’t have children, then she’d simply **Create** them.

Merely two weeks after the loss of her son, she had instructed Gaster on what she wanted done, and she made it very clear. Upon the many failures that Gaster had returned to her, this only further distanced the two from one another, fights constantly breaking out between the two, until he had done it. Gaster had created their “first” child. This was only the beginning, and soon enough, Dahlia, who now went by Emily for unknown reasons, was the mother of four artificially made monsters, all of which appeared to be skeletons, two of them were on the shorter side, while the other two were far taller. During this time, the king had been gathering human souls (these belonging to children who had fallen into the Underground) in hopes of shattering the barrier and taking revenge among the humans who had sealed them below the surface all those years ago. Emily was aiding her husband by helping him map out the blueprints of what was supposed to replace, or be the better version of The Alternator, The Vicissitude, meaning it would revolutionize the way monsters lived, or that’s what she wanted them to believe, as she had specifically designed this new core to self-destruct within the first few weeks of operation. Once construction on The Vicissitude had begun, she had started to become fond of one of her sons, Mason. While Emily seemed obsessed with the skeleton, he on the other hand merely tolerated her because he had no choice. By the time The Vicissitude had been complete, the family that Gaster and Emily had created was beginning to fall apart, the effects of Emily’s experiments starting to become visible, allowing Gaster to finally understand what she had been doing to their children, however he never had the chance to confront her of it, as just as Emily had planned, The Vicissitude had a reactor meltdown within one of the Primary Chambers, beneath the Lava, and the rest is history.

### Post Destruction

She had done it, all the hard work her ‘husband’ had put into making the lives of monsters easier, it was all gone, reduced to nothing more than flames and ash. After the initial explosion, she had quickly made her escape back to her Kingdom, where she would begin her conquest, however she wanted the inhabitants of the AU to truly suffer, so she let them do just that while she gathered her army together. After having watched most of the inhabitants die off due to The Vicissitude Meltdown for several days, she decided it was time to claim the world that she had ruined. Sending her troops through multiple gateways straight into StaticTale, they began to feast and kill most of the inhabitants, however, she picked out a few that she wanted alive, as she had special plans for them. Dahlia’s troops picked apart and shredded the world itself until all that was left were ruins, most of the AU’s code having been extracted, meaning the surviving inhabitants had nowhere to go. Dahlia didn’t want to use this code quite yet, as she wasn’t exactly sure how she wanted to go about executing her plan. The monsters had put up quite a fight, wounding many of her soldiers, even killing some of them, though in her eyes, that was merely the cost of war. Time would pass rather quickly for Dahlia, given she was a rather busy woman, AUs were sprouting up from the emptiness like crazy, but it was exactly what Dahlia wanted, her army having only grown stronger and stronger. Many of the AUs were aware of what happened in StaticTale, and conflict began to arise as the Universes fought for “control”. Dahlia decided that the entirety of the AUs that were left should be ruled under one person, and given that Dahlia was far too busy to take on such a task, why not use someone who’s already been experienced with a similar sense of power? Dahlia had totally reconstructed Toriel, the former queen being forced under the rule of the Empress, however in terms of the Alternate Universes themselves, all would obey The New Queen. Dahlia gives Toriel the task of; if she were to cross anyone who has even the slightest bit of code relating to StaticTale, they must be either exterminated immediately, or brought to the Empress herself, as while Dahlia wants to reconstruct StaticTale from the ground up, things would be very, very different if she so happened to achieve this goal.

## Personality

Dahlia is a very, **very** manipulative person (this clearly being shown when she used Obscurity for her own benefit). Her constant lust for power and control drove her away from everyone she’s ever loved, the only beings she remains with are The Eldrichments that she forced under her command. She doesn’t really have any side hobbies, given she hardly ever allows herself to actually enjoy herself, her mind always leading her straight back to the studies that she’s undergoing. Dahlia is the prime example of someone who’s mastered the Poker Face, as she’s the one who taught Encryption how to (Nearly) perfect his own poker face. Dahlia furthermore can express almost any emotion on command, this coming from the thousands of years she’s spent manipulating and messing with the minds of those around her, allowing her to get her way. Dahlia rarely ever gets infuriated, given she’s capable of choosing which emotions she wishes to act upon, this basically meaning that her emotions hardly ever get in the way of her logical thinking. She’s also a very strategic thinker, especially in combat; if Dahlia is up against a foe that she may not be able to defeat head on, using her charms, she may be able to weasel her way out of any dangerous situations that arise, and if her very ‘charming’ façade doesn’t follow through, there’s always a backup plan. It’s pretty obvious that Dahlia also has a gigantic ego, as she’s always flaunting about how perfect she is compared to those around her. Dahlia absolutely loves showing off her smarts as well, always bragging about the inventions she’s made, this being mainly due to how she’s far more intelligent than 90% of the beings she surrounds herself with.

Many can confirm that Dahlia can be rather cocky, as she’s quite full of herself. Examples being how she always overestimates her foe (unless she has seen first hand what they’re capable of). She by far has the largest ego out of anyone in her family (this including both her parents, and the family she had within StaticTale), as she could often be seen fixing her hair, or looking at herself in a mirror, making sure she’s as presentable as possible. This especially being the case if there’s someone she’s taken interest in, though her interests most of the time are out of lust, instead of actually getting to know the other. She’ll mainly do this just for the attention, and once she’s had enough of her ‘lover’ she’ll most likely steal their soul, making them into nothing less than a slave for Dahlia to use as she pleases.

Dahlia isn’t really one for being angered easily, however, if someone actually does manage to piss her off, it won’t be pretty. When angered, she can be seen as ruthless, and brutal, showing no remorse for anyone she crosses paths with. While she usually relies on strategy to prevail in battles, when angered, she’ll instead fall back onto her sheer power and primal instincts, acting not quite like a rabid animal, though just extremely irrational. She usually takes five to fifteen minutes to properly calm down, depending on how agitated she had become. In the end, *you don’t want to see her when she’s angry.*

## Abilities

### Universal Misconception

If Dahlia finds herself within a Universe, it doesn’t matter the size or mass of said universe, or anywhere that the concepts of time and space exist, she’ll be able to create an absolute singularity. This singularity being able to range from the size of a small town, to the size of the universe it resides within (Or perhaps larger), anything or anyone caught within the singularity will begin to notice that the very fabric of time and space will become unstable, physics, cosmic principles, laws, along with anything that revolves around these concepts of time and space will be reduced to nothing, acting like a pocket dimension where Dahlia can do whatever she pleases. Despite her presumed infinite power within these singularities, she can’t however directly impact those that get brought into the singularity, though if she were to “kill” them within the singularity, a doll (acting almost like a voodoo doll) variation of whoever she killed will appear in her hand, basically giving her total control over the being, however, under very specific circumstances, this control can be broken.

### The Book of Eldrichments

The Book of Eldrichments is a book that had been given to Dahlia by that of her parents, said to contain a vast variety of spells and commands that could give Dahlia an advantage when in combat or with day to day life. These spells can range from being low tier magic (this usually only being able to slightly affect the environment or simple variations of magic, such as a weak healing spell), to extremely powerful and destructive spells. These more destructive spells are capable of shattering the very fabric of time and space itself, along with causing far more devastating results, though the full extent of what the book is capable of is still unknown, given Dahlia rarely uses it, this being due to how she doesn’t know many of the spells.

### Staff of the Eternal Abyss

Dahlia is almost always seen carrying a staff of sorts, whether it be in her hand, or merely floating beside her, this staff is quite important to the Empress for a number of reasons. The crystal ball-like orb that sits atop the staff is the source of power that the staff uses. Dahlia also has the capabilities to trap whoever she wishes within the crystal ball, the orb then ciphering the magic of those who are trapped within. Once a being that’s within the orb has all their magic extracted, their vessel will be turned to stone, the soul being preserved until Dahlia wishes to remove the stone statue from the crystal ball and extract the soul from said statue. Dahlia can also bend and morph the staff however she pleases, allowing her to make all sorts of weapons and utility with it, each type of weapon having some sort of benefit (An example being that if she were to create a scythe out of the staff, she’d be able to “reap” the souls of those the scythe hits). The full capabilities of the staff are unknown, saying it’s mainly used to extract the souls of humans and monsters alike.

### Aura of Adversity

Dahlia has the capability to impact the concept of luck itself. The origins of this ability seemingly come from her demonic origins. Essentially, Dahlia can inflict misfortune and sorrow among anyone she desires, even being able to negatively alter the fate of entire Universes. A prime example being seen in the Great War back in StaticTale. While Dahlia hadn’t been physically active in aiding the monsters during their struggles during the war, the aura that lingers with her naturally was a key factor in the war’s fate, resulting in the monsters losing. This ability can also be used on a smaller scale, such as on a singular individual. The smaller the object or entity, the more heavily they can be influenced or impacted by Dahlia’s overwhelming aura. This aura can occasionally be seen as a faint, magenta and purple color, furthermore, this ability can also be used in an offensive manner. In terms of being offensive and defensive, if Dahlia is being attacked, whether it being by a physical or magical force, this aura can not only deflect incoming attacks, but can also inflict damage, this damage typically acting as a poison of sorts. Another thing to note about the damage that Dahlia can inflict is that her attacks also drain stamina and mana, using it to replenish herself in the process. The overarching power that her aura has is that she can manifest her own powers into said aura, casting a large, all-seeing eye. This eye will paralyze anything and anyone that looks into it, striking fear into even the bravest of souls. During this time, Dahlia can do as she pleases, her abilities also being amplified against those who look into the Eye. The paralysis only lasts a few seconds, but the lingering effects of Dahlia’s amplified power last far longer.

### Mind Games

Dahlia has the ability to play tricks on those who stare into her eyes for long enough, the limitations to this ability are unknown, however it’s most commonly used for misconception, manipulation, along with other types of psychological impacts. This ability is a toggle, meaning she can enable and disable said ability whenever she pleases. With this, she can look into the memories and minds of those she desires, morphing and altering said memories to suit her own benefit, though these altered memories will only be sustained for up to an hour at most before the original copy of the memories are restored.

### “Ignorance is Bliss”

Dahlia is able to ease one’s soul or mind, making them feel at peace, however, this process comes at a price. If someone were to accept Dahlia’s offer, she’ll wipe their memories entirely, leaving them in a state of ignorance, as they’ll be clueless to anything that’s going on, furthermore, this process binds their soul to Dahlia, making them nothing less than a puppet for the Empress. While they may live a life of ignorance and bliss, in reality, they’ll be trapped in eternal suffering and pain, though due to the effects of Dahlia’s powers, she’s able to nullify these feelings. If someone is reminded of who they once were, they’ll be able to regain their memories, and break free from Dahlia’s grasp, this being one of the only ways to truly free someone from Dahlia’s grasp.

### The Nine Rings

Dahlia is able to create nine, dark red rings that can appear wherever she pleases, these rings having summoning rituals within them. Upon Dahlia’s command, these rings will begin to glow a bright orange, meaning that the magic infused into the rings has begun to ignite, the summoning ritual within each ring will expand until all the rings appear to be portals of sorts. Here, Dahlia can choose what she wishes for the rings to do, one option being that the rings can fire large, bright red blasts, each blast being capable of causing catastrophic damage to the surrounding area. Another example being how these rings can be used to transport beings and objects, of course the other side of the ring isn’t exactly a pleasant place, as it’s the equivalent of Hell itself. Here, Dahlia’s power and authority increase drastically due to her close to absolute authority within The Hills, concepts such as time, space, matter, these are all ideas that she has total control over and can do what she pleases with. Furthermore, these rings are capable of several unique types of magic, this being due to how there were nine sacrifices that were required to establish the Nine Rings, each sacrifice having a unique soul. When combining these rings together, the destruction they’re capable of surpasses that of Multiverses, even Omniverses, however, this drains a large portion of Dahlia’s magic, despite her regenerative abilities.

### Rain of Hell Fire

Dahlia can form a sphere between her palms, this sphere expanding to reach the size of a basketball, where it can then be thrown up into the air, exploding as fire would begin to rain down from where the sphere had exploded. The range is about equal to 93 miles (about 150 kilometers) in diameter, though this distance being the average range, however the true size of. Compared to most types of fire, Dahlia’s hell fire is able to outmatch most with ease, the sheer intensity of the heat hell fire gives off can kill many types of plant life. If someone were to be hit by this hell fire, it would either severely burn them, or it’d simply act as acid, burning straight through whoever it came in contact with. Dahlia can also control these flames, using them to cause all sorts of destruction.

### Mastery of the Dark Arts

Dahlia spent most of her life learning and trying to master the Dark Arts, this being part of the reason why she was given the Book of Eldrichments by her parents. Through the power of the Dark Arts, she’s granted herself an ability that allows her to move one’s soul as she pleases, furthermore, she can corrode the soul of whom she pleases, as long as they’re within close enough range. Dahlia is able to inject pure, demonic energy directly into a soul, this causing the soul to slowly shatter under the sheer pressure that is now being forced upon the soul due to Dahlia’s influence. Those that she has killed through using this ability, she’ll be able to reform the soul and vessel of whom she had killed, now forcing them to do her bidding, only adding them to her ever-growing army. Through the Dark Arts, Dahlia is able to create a doll of whoever she wishes, and whatever she does to the doll, the entity said doll is supposed to represent will feel similar effects.

### Souls of the Damned

Wrath, Lust, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, and Greed; these being the seven deadly sins, also known as The Souls of the Damned. Those who possess one of these traits will almost immediately fall to the hands of Dahlia, as these seven traits are the most common within The Hills, and hell itself. Those that Dahlia has under her control will also be given one of these traits, their old trait being replaced by one of these seven, though if someone were to break free from Dahlia’s control, the trait she had given them will fade and the soul’s original trait would be restored.

### Phobophobia

Dahlia is capable of instilling absolute Fear into her opponents, this often results in them freezing up, furthermore, they’ll be sent into a state of limbo, as while their body will remain where it was, their mind will travel elsewhere. Here, Dahlia can do anything she wishes, apart from physically harming her target. The target affected by said ability will begin to hallucinate that they’re back where they had been previously, almost as if they had temporarily blacked out, though not everything is as it seems. Within a few minutes of Dahlia’s target “waking up” the world around them will begin to change, it’ll start simple, something as simple as a bird that was previously in a tree would now be absent. Those impacted by Dahlia’s Phobophobia will also lose most concepts of time, as what would feel like hours would only be a few minutes for those not trapped within the state of limbo. However, hours will pass for Dahlia’s target (This only being a few minutes for her), and throughout this time, the hallucinations and alterations will become more and more extreme. The idea being that Dahlia will be able to influence the thoughts and ideas of those she’s influenced with her Phobophobia ability, thus putting them under her control, or they’ll succumb to the insanity that’s become their “world,” resulting in them taking their own life. Upon one of these two events taking place, the entity will be brought out of limbo, their freewill and ability to think for themself having been stripped away as they’re nothing more than a mindless puppet for Dahlia to use. On the other hand there are ways to escape this state of limbo. While breaking free from Dahlia’s grasp may be difficult, it isn’t impossible, as this ability heavily relies on FEAR. Having the willpower to stand up against the ideas and concepts you fear the most will heavily weaken Dahlia’s grasp on their vessel, mind and soul. Entities will still maintain their magic abilities within this state of limbo, though it’ll be heavily weakened. Raw power alone won’t aid those trapped in escaping, though having the drive and Determination to escape will be the key.

### The Astral Calamity

Upon having finally stored up enough magic, Dahlia will then be able to unleash her finisher, The Astral Calamity. She’ll elevate herself up into the air once more, a single shockwave will then be sent out from Dahlia’s body, the very fabric of space and time itself will begin to rupture before being ripped apart entirely. Dahlia will then be able to increase her size to the point where she could hold the entirety of a Megaverse within the palm of her hand, her powers having become so great she can shatter multiple Megaverses with absolute ease, though she can only sustain this form for so long, as it strains her body, mind and soul. Dahlia will also be able to release purple blasts from her hands, these rays being close to, if not equal to the size of a Cluster of Multiverses (they can however be larger). This form is a last resort, as she’s aware of the destructive capabilities that it holds. Upon Dahlia returning to her normal size and self, everything that was destroyed would be restored, however, if someone were to be killed by Dahlia in this state, their very existence would be erased, as Dahlia’s power can only stretch as far as The Threshold, given she’s not powerful enough to pass into a realm in which concepts are scarce. If she so wishes, everything that isn’t able to surpass a Megaverse itself is now Dahlia’s to tamper and alter how she pleases.

## Weaknesses

Dahlia is very egotistical, and is quite full of herself. It’s not very hard to get her distracted by talking about herself. Despite not showing it too much, Dahlia cares greatly about the work she’s done, this including her “children,” though she doesn’t care for them in a motherly manner, instead she merely sees them as experiments that need to be kept alive for further tests. Deep down, Dahlia still feels great sorrow and grieves over the loss of her parents, so the mention of her parents may trigger one of two things to happen, either she’ll lose herself in a fit of anger and rage, or she’ll completely stop, losing herself in her thoughts, this allowing her foe to get several hits in before snapping Dahlia out of her thoughts.

## Relationships

**Will be completed once the prologue is done.**

## Trivia

* Dahlia’s favorite food is actually chocolate, though she tends to keep this a secret, as she believes it may show a sign of weakness (She absolutely loves chocolate ice cream).
* Deep down, Dahlia is a total nerd, as she finds all sorts of sciences interesting, this being one of the larger outcomes that resulted from her isolation.
* Dahlia absolutely despises Encryption, as Encryption was intended to be exactly like her, being able to take her place once she had accomplished her goals.
