Camellia Haruka

**Camellia Haruka** is a 2nd Year Student at Kyoto Academy, like Shiro Hikari and Ai Hikari. She is part of an excorsist group in Kyoto that poses as a crime syndicate in hopes of forming ties with the Dhadri Corps in order to exterminate them from within.

She and her sister, Futaba Haruka were members of the Student Council until they were kicked out for alleged aggression against other Student Council members. She is also one of the smartest and most combatively capable students in the school, making her one of Shiro Hikari's main rivals. Due to being below Delialah and Ai Hikari, the students have began calling her 'The Rook'.

Her true identity is that of Takami-Musubi, though Camellia is not initially aware of her own true existence until she meets the Hikari Kids, Shiro and Ai and their presence slowly awakens her memories and powers.

She is a lesser antagonist in the side-story **Spirit of the North Star*.*

## Appearance

Camellia has the look of a young, attractive female with blue eyes, and short, silvery-white hair arranged in a bob cut with three hair-clips in the right part of her. The color of her eyes turned from blue to light blue and white. In the new timeline, Camellia is initially shown with much longer hair reaching down to her waist, before cutting it back down to its usual length after having her Kami powers sealed. She usually wears the Kyoto High girl uniform like her female classmates when at school. Camellia's height is stated to be 152cm, and her three sizes are B75/W55/H79.

Camellia's Youkai Dress resembles a wedding dress, reflecting on her childhood dream of wanting to be a cute bride. In this form, she wears a golden crown with a white veil attached to it. She has a white bow with a gem attached to her neck. Additionally, there are gold extensions attached to both her hips and forearms. The edges of her skirt fold together like flower petals, while the tips of her skirt are also gold in color.

In her Inverse form, her Youkai Dress changes to a revealing dark blue mourning dress. She wears a large veil over her head and has jagged markings on her exposed torso and thighs.

## Personality

Camellia is a person that rarely openly talks with other people unless needed with only a few exceptions such as Shiro Hikari and Futaba Haruka. She isn't a shy person, but more of an unsocial type of girl.

She can be a bit reckless or aggressive if she has a goal or purpose to fulfill; she's also willing to do something that someone else wouldn't do to accomplish such goals. This determination is shown when she did everything Futaba asked her when she was trying to get her to not like Shiro Hikari which shocked everyone around her.

Due to an Ayakashi killing her legal guardian an year ago, Camellia has harbored an intense hatred and hostility towards all evil spirits and demonic creatures, as whenever she sees one, she loses all of her common sense and tries to kill it any way she possibly can. This hatred is shown to be intense enough that she was willing to kill Takanashi Hikari despite the fact that she knew Takanashi was Shiro's adoptive sister and only stopped because he beat her into submission not to kill Takanashi, and told her about Dhadri Corps's leaders' whereabouts.

As the series progressed, Camellia has shown a growing desire to obtain power. This desire eventually caused her to join DEM, and later, after she was defeated, to accept a Sephira Crystal that turned her into a Super Demon.

Although disgusted that she became what she had always despised, Camellia was somewhat satisfied that she finally gained the power to fight evenly against Gods and Buddha and higher-ranked demons. She thus decided that she would become a divine-demonic being that kills other divinities and demons, and then would end her own life when her job was done. However, she was once again defeated by Shiro Hikari who upon learning of her true relation to himself pleaded for a peace between the two. Camellia, accepting her second defeat, agreed to put their disagreements aside and work with Shiro from now on.

After finding the truth of her sister' 'death', Camellia suffered an emotional breakdown and inverted. In this state, Camellia is emotionally dead and completely unresponsive to everything around her. She is compared to a corpse, as Izanami noted that she had fallen into an unrecoverable state. This Camellia continues to exist in the new timeline, as all of her memories are retained. After resolving her emotional issues, the Old Timeline Camellia becomes the predominant personality.

## History

Camellia and Futaba were both found by agents of the church near one of the underground kirks. Their tools indicated that Camellia and Futaba were otherworldly, but they could not exactly define their type. So, they made them workers for the Church to observe them from up close and increase the excorcists' prowess. Futaba and Camellia were both taken care of by a kind nun who was a former 'kouhai' of Griselda Quarta. Sadly, the nun died an year before the events of the story. The church they worked for, convinced the twin sisters that this was the work of mere Ayakashi, but in actuallity was a planned assination by Walrus Iblis. Camellia did not know that their church superiors were mere puppets of the Dhadri Corps and Merihem set up a plot where Camellia and Futaba would be led to believe that the Hikari Family survivors did the deed in a fanatic act of self-proclaimed revenge. Camellia, who was impulsive, did exactly that and she antagonized Shiro Hikari, Ai Hikari and Takanashi Hikari for a large portion of the first arcs of the story. She even acts hostile towards Delialah, believing her to be part of the 'Hikari's plot', not knowing that she is one of the three main figures of the Dhadri Corps, alongside Merihem and Plotinus Satan.

Eventually however, she does realize the folly of her intentions and switches sides to Shiro Hikari and Ai Hikari, becoming a supporting character from that point onwards.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Abilities

**Enhanced Strength**: Camellia is the remnant of a Fallen Takami-Musubi. Though her strength is extremely reduced, she is still stronger than the average human, being able to throw an adult like a ragdoll and knock back lower-class demons with her kicks and punches. She was able to cause Delialah to bleed even though she was weaker than her. Though the students do not consider her a true rival of Shiro Hikari and Delialah, her prowess is still respected by Kyoto Academy and the church she serves, earning her the nickname 'The Rook'.

**Enhanced Speed**: Camellia is faster than the average human and can even outrun professional athletes. She can keep up with lower-class demons and could also barely evade attacks from the likes of Delialah and Shiro Hikari.

**Enhanced Durability**: Camellia is far more durable than the normal human, needing at least three security guards just to pin her down. She could also withstand the hits of Shiro Hikari and Delialah, proving her great resiliance.

**Ice Manipulation**: Camellia can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen into a solid state and appears naturally in forms of snow, slush, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder, for various effects and combinations.

**Magic**: Camellia can use Magic to store away Holy energy or captured entities into another dimension. She can also use basic-level spells to her benefit during battle.

**Holy Energy Manipulation**: As an agent of the Church, Camellia knows how to use and/or gather Holy energies of different proportions to use against her opponents. Her Holy energy is only effective against full demons as beings like Delialah, Ai Hikari and Shiro Hikari proved to be immune to her holiness.

**Animal Manipulation**: Camellia can create, shape and manipulate animals, multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. They can command, speak/understand, evolve/devolve, merge with, possess, etc. with all forms of animal life.

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Camellia has displayed impressive combat skills. Not on the level of Shiro Hikari, Delialah or Ai Hikari, but close.

**Skilled Swordsman**: Camellia is a skilled swordsman, able to wield her holy blade with an expertise only the most professional of church agents could achieve. Her swordsmanship is great enough to make Delialah and Shiro Hikari cautious - not necessarily worried, but still not underestimating her.

**Animal Body Parts**: Camellia will occasionally sprout fox ears or a fox tail when she is in distress.

**Spirit Manipulation**: Camellia is able to use spirit magic, that revolves around channeling, summoning or using the power of spirits to achieve her goals. She can summon spirits, use spiritual weapons, or channel a spirit into their body to gain physical enhancements or gain completely new abilities i.e. channeling a fire spirit gives her Fire Manipulation.

* **Spirit Fox Pack**: Camellia exhales, letting Spirit Magic sip out of her mouth which then solidifies into spiritual foxes with a faint fiery aura. These foxes are as fierce as fully grown tigers in addition to possessing supernatural attributes that allow them to damage other supernaturals. They were able to tear apart three low demons in seconds and though they failed to do any damage, they still overwhelmed Shiro Hikari.

* **Kurama**: Camellia surrounds herself in a giant manifestation of a spirit fox with nine tails. While in this form, Camellia expertly gathers all the natural energy around herself to not only prolong the life of the giant spirit fox, but strengthen it as well. At its very best, the Nine-Tailed Fox was able to fight on equal ground with **Polaris** for a short time.

**Keen Intellect**: Camellia is a very bright girl with a sound intellect who was able to learn almost all of her lessons in the church to excellency. She has amongst the highest grades in school, though her intellect is surpassed by Futaba Haruka, Delialah, Ai Hikari and Shiro Hikari. She is very knowledgable in all areas and has even given Shiro Hikari a run for his money in some brief instances. However, while very smart, Delialah proves Camellia is also short-sighted and unimaginative, which is why Ai Hikari is her superior.

### Kami Abilities

**Kami Form**: With equipment from DEM, Camellia has shown the capability to transform into a weaker version of her original self. It is not the same as Shiro Hikari's **Amenominakanushi Mode** as Camellia is regaining her original strength through artificial means. The AI and Magic implanted in her equipment boosts the hidden divine energies inside her to their current absolute limit, allowing her to surpass regular gods and ultimate-class angels/devils.

**High-Class Magical Spells**: Camellia is now capable of preforming magical spells on an extremely high level, rivaling ancient witches.

**Light Manipulation**: Camellia can create, shape and manipulate visible light, commonly referred to as light, is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

**Photokinetic Constructs**: Camellia can turn light into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Users who have mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need.

**Wings of Light**: Camellia can manifest wings of divine light to enhance her flight speed and combat agility. She can manipulate the energy of her wings as projectile attacks or extended range attacks.

**Inverse Form**: After prolonged exposure to negative emotions when she found out that she was the one who killed her sister (though she was unwillingly manipulated into doing it by Merihem's illusions), she transformed into her other form, which, according to Izanami, is a genuine form of fallen divinities in the bordering dimension.

She obtains <Yami>, a darker and sinister version of <Kami>. Much like Ai Hikari, her Astral Dress becomes much darker and more revealing, and she gains a veil over her head. Presumably, Camellia has the same powers as the ones aforementioned, but with a dark coloration instead.

Camellia has no control over her body in this form, attacking everything and everyone in sight. However, this could also be because of the shock she suffered when she found out the truth. Nevertheless, in the story, after being nearly defeated by Merihem in the Spirit battle royal, New Timeline Camellia briefly took over her body and consciously summoned her Dark Identity to defeat the key Kotoamatsukami. However, Old Timeline Camellia was completely unconscious during this process and woke up confused over the events that had just transpired.

## Equipment

**Griselda's Blade**: Camellia is in the possession of the holy sword that belonged to Griselda Quarta. Its name is unknown though it was powerful enough to kill lower demons in one slash and temporarily push back a blast from Delialah. She can also use it while in her 'Kurama Moda', creating an attack of epic proportions that blows away the whole area.

**Holy Cross of The Christ** is one of the objects created by Jesus Christ with God's power. It is the complete opposite of a Inverse Cross, as it purifies the souls and minds of mortals, while obliterating the body and soul of demons. A single Holy Cross can eradice up to twenty regular demons in a single move. The Holy Cross can also store benevolence, drawing power upon the Virtue of mortals, whereas the Inverse Cross utilizes their madness and sins. However, the Holy Cross cannot induce overteous amounts of belief into someone and can only encourage mortals to believe more.

* **Evil Banishment**: Just as an Inverse Cross can be used to banish heavenly entities, the Holy Crosses can be used to banish demons and demon gods who are comperable to or below the user.

**<White Licorice>**: A new, experimental set of equipment, White Licorice is a CR-Unit that has been optimized for pure destruction. However, the unit puts a large amount of strain on the user, limiting its use to around 30 minutes. Using it any longer will put the user's life in danger. Despite the risks, Camellia is able to use the Artificial Regalia to its fullest potential before hitting the time limit. The DW-029, Destruction Armament is equipped with:

* <CleaveLeaf>: A pair of large-sized laser blades that are mounted on the user's forearms; it can be used for binding.
* <Blastalk>: A pair of 50.5cm magic cannons. This weapon's firepower can easily destroy a normal Regalia and/or Sacred Gear.
* <RootBox>: 8 containment units that can store a large amount of weaponry.
