Gekai Niku (anime)

**Gekai Niku** (Japanese: **月海ニク**) (***Nicole Messerli** in the English dub)* is a villain and later a main character in *Shining Bonds a La Mode* and *Shining Bonds: Hopes and Dreams*. She works for Queen Vera and is known as **Necrosis** (Japanese: **ネクロシス**), a highly advanced, emotionless, sapient AI robot built by Dark Clover. In the season 2 finale, however, after the heroes befriend her, Angel Wing gives her a second chance and turns her into a human permanently.

After becoming a human, Niku's alter ego is **Angel Surgeon**, the Angelix Warrior of medicine whose theme color is sea green. She is a Steel/Psychic Elemental who represents the Elemental of Forgiveness.

## Appearance

Necrosis is a humanoid robot with light gray skin, glowing white eyes, and wavy waist-length emerald green hair. She has buttons and a charging port on her neck and mechanical joints on her shoulders and ankles. From the elbows down, however, she has swords instead of hands, but she can still pick up objects just fine. She wears a black strapless dress reaching past her knees and dark green heels.

After permanently becoming a human, she has a normal human skin tone, shoulder-length, dull sea green hair and blue eyes. She has round green glasses and wears a light green long-sleeved sweater under a sea green vest and teal sweatpants, as well as white Mary Janes with heels. Her Harmony Mark, positioned on the neckline of whatever outfit she is wearing, is a silver surgeon's scalpel.

In her Ultra Guardian uniform, her outfit is primarily sea green, with a skirt instead of shorts. Her hair becomes longer and becomes pastel mint green with a partial ponytail, though unlike as Angel Surgeon, she still needs her glasses. Her wings are ice blue with green medical cross symbols on them.

As Angel Surgeon, her hair brightens a bit and is tied back in a ponytail, with a bow resembling surgeons' foreceps on the side of her head. Her glasses also disappear. She has a sea green low-neckline dress with a cross on the front, white puffy sleeves combined with pale green long sleeves, a sea green rounded pencil miniskirt with ribbons on the back, and long white lace-up boots. She has white angel wings on her back and her ChanMirror is in a carrying case on her waist.

## Personality

As a villain, she was emotionless but was shown to be very loyal to her coworkers and Queen Vera and was dedicated to their goal of reviving Malachor and defeating the heroes. Despite being a completely sapient and autonomous robot, she was programmed to follow Queen Vera's evil philosophy and took sadistic pleasure in attacking or attempting to kill the heroes. She didn't understand human emotions or the concept of friendship, but in "The End of Necrosis! Another Chance and the Birth of Angel Surgeon!", the heroes (taking advantage of she fact she's an advanced sapient AI with the capacity to learn) teach and show her the true meaning of friendship and love. After finally understanding what a friend means and that her co-workers aren't real friends, and smiling for the first time, she accepts Angel Wing's offer of redemption and reaches for her hand, showing that she did have the capacity to learn to be good despite her evil programming.

After becoming human, she retains full memories of her actions as Necrosis, but regrets everything she's done due to having no choice and was unsure if she was worthy of being an Angelix Warrior when her ChanMirror and ChanCards appeared. She is extremely naiive to the ways of the human world and Nonomi and Marina (who got permission from their mother to take her in as their roommate due to her having nowhere else to go) and the other heroes have to help her understand even the most basic things. Niku also lacks social skills and has a hard time adjusting to having 5-fingered hands and an organic body, but slowly gets better, and is normally friendly and polite and eager to meet new people and Pokémon. She is also quite curious as well, and has decided she wants to be a surgeon one day.

## Magical abilities

As Necrosis, being an advanced sapient AI robot, she could make calculations, take in data, and interpret information in fractions of a second, much faster than a human (including her co-workers or the heroes). She was also a very capable sword fighter with her arms being metal blades and could make living things rot like Event Horizon, though like her, she never used this ability since then the series would be 3 episodes long. However, she had to periodically be plugged into the power in order to recharge her batteries, but could eat food if given.

As Angel Surgeon, she has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. She has the power to fire sharp metal blades at the enemy, and posesses telekinesis as well, allowing her to lift and move objects, such as her metal blades or even other characters if they get distracted or goof off. Her telekinesis can also be used to temporarily strangle or restrain the enemy, by lifting her hand and clenching her fist as if she was physically grabbing them, similar to Darth Vader's "Force choke" attack.

Angel Surgeon is able to create, control, and attack with almost any sharp metal instrument, such as needles, knives, swords, and scissors to shoot at the enemy with her telekinesis. She can also bend even extremely hard objects with her mind. Being the Angel of medicine, her powers also revolve around medicine - she can create giant floating antibody-like constructs that can absorb projectile attacks from enemies, but they have a limited size and will eventually fill up. She can form jelly-like shields and barriers made of cells in order to block attacks. Her cellular manipulation power also extends to using greatly enlarged cells to pelt the enemy with and being able to shape the enlarged cells into any shape or cell type (such as blood cells, nerve cells, etc) she wishes for offense and defense. She has been shown to also have some microbial manipulation powers as well, as she has been seen conjuring and attacking with mold, spores, and bacterial colonies to sicken the enemy. Angel Surgeon also gains heightened senses, and can read and sense others' emotions as well as sensing the vital signs of living beings - for example, she can clearly hear someone's heartbeat from several feet away and can sense the minute electric fields coming from a person or Pokémon's heartbeat, muscles, or nerve impulses. This makes it impossible to sneak up on her while transformed, as shown in *Vacation Misadventures* when, during the battle, Faith Idol almost crashed into her while flying, but Angel Surgeon automatically moved out of the way without even having to look since she could heart her heartbeat and electrical impulses beforehand. Surgeon can also one-wayly telepathically link her mind with other living beings, allowing her to see and experience the world from their perspective, but at the risk of her feeling any pain they experience while her mind is linked with theirs.

Niku also knows some basic, first-level spells that all Magic Warriors can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Her magic aura is pale seafoam green in color.

## Trivia

* Niku gained her Harmony Mark, Element of Harmony, and Elements after being turned into a human and choosing her new name, as opposed to Event Horizon who already posessed them before being brainwashed and only regained them upon being de-brainwashed, and as opposed to other characters who discover their Harmony Mark at a young age and are born with their connection to their Element of Harmony and are born with their Element(s).
* As a gag, she will not understand a human item/custom and have to be taught its meaning.
* She is one of the few members of the main cast to have biologically nonhuman origins despite now being a human, the others being Jotaro, Juni, Laura, Ruru Amour, Kurokawa Ellen, Kirahoshi Ciel, and Mimino Kurumi.
