Kala

"*You know, when I heard of you coming there, I first thought about murdering you - cutting you into pieces, watering my lovelies with your blood, then sending a bouquet made of your entrails to your dear sister. But then I saw your face, and I changed my mind. Who could harm a little adorable rosebud like you ?"* - Kala, to Eden.

**Kala** is a mysterious Lost with immense powers.

## Story

The first mention of Kala is in the Land of Mu, where she originates. A tortured young girl who eventually become a Lost, Kala was dubbed Akan Lord, and eventually defeated by her own ally Yun who betrayed her in order to end the rule of the Akan Lords over the Land of Mu. However, she managed to survive against all odds, taking refuge in the hidden depths of Avalon.

There, becoming bored of the world's lack of death and lethal fights, Kala instigated chaos by corrupting Ooe no Yaksha, causing a massive conflict. This in turn caused Mary Maark to challenge her, seeking to avenge Sayaka Chuda's suffering. Kala obliged, seeking to humiliate Mary and the one she defended, Utopia; however, Kala's sense of honor and natural contempt allowed Mary to take her by surprise and defeat her.

Furious, Kala sought to plan revenge - and at that moment, Eden Maark appeared in Avalon. First seeking to torture her, Kala changed her mind upon seeing her and recruited her by her side, inciting her to go on missions in order to sow havoc in Avalon; however, in time, Eden started to feel affection and compassion for the twisted Lost, causing her to support Kala - the latter half-reluctantly accepting her help.

## Appearance

Kala is a distinguished, green-eyed woman with piercing pink eyes, dressed in an extravagant red and pink kimono, complete with a fan and umbrella.

## Personality

Kala's personality is a twisted mix of honor and cruelty. She has her own "code", a perversion of bushido that asks for respect and honor in a twisted, hypocritical way. Kala's vision of honor is a bloodthirsty one, and her affable and respectful facade is just that - a way to hide her cruel and twisted intentions. Kala's 'code' tests the worthy through constant pain and struggle for survival.

Kala's philosophy is a 'survival of the strongest', an exalted perspective where only the most powerful possesses the right to establish their own moral values, and all other values are insignificant. Kala can also be somewhat affectionate, speaking with a loving tone, but - with extremely rare exceptions - this is only further proof of cruelty or insanity. She is also extremely fond of plants and often makes plant-based metaphors.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** As Kala is an Akutenshi, she possesses immense physical strength and speed. Her endurance is also barely understandable, as she endured direct assaults from Yun, one of the most powerful warriors of the Land of Mu, and managed to survive.
* **Corrupted Plant Manipulation:** Kala's unique ability is that of manipulating plants and growth, allowing her to change the size of items as well as create plants that feed on Miasma instead of Anima.
* **Master Necromancer:** Kala, despite not using it often, was shown to be talented in the art of Maho.

## Trivia

* Her theme song, as chosen by her creator, is Dead Gardens by Nightwish.
* Her powers rival that of Utopia in her territory, something that was never quite explained - whatever Kala truly is, she has the potential to become a multiversal threat.
