Vania

**Vania** is a mysterious woman with little information about her.

## Appearance

Implied to be a vampire, Vania does have the physical attributes listed by Marlow, such as white hair, pale skin, and red eyes, though hers are pink. In all of her appearances, she wears fancy black garments and folded boots, which is strangely resembles the female Gwain College uniform. In Episode 008, she also wears the chains of her prison, which she used as a sort of chain whip.

## Personality

Vania isn't exactly a hero or a villain, being more in-between. She committed a crime heinous enough to be locked in Castle Gwain's dungeon for many years, while at the same time helping Geo save Ami from the wolves, and telling him he ***has*** to be a good person in this world. She also seems to be trustworthy enough that Gwain to let her close to a young Ami.

## Abilities

Vania is a very capable fighter, being able to free herself from her prison and mow down dozens of guards on her way to Gwain. She had full confidence in being able to fight Wain, someone stronger then both Gwain and Twain. She was able to defeat Gwain (granted, a younger, weaker Gwain), even with her light magic.

### Physical Abilities:

Vania is very physically powerful, able to punch a metal gate down, and destroy construct guards with her bare hands. She's very agile, able to spin around a spear like a pole, and climb up walls with ease. She's also very durable, repeatedly banging her head on the bottom of a platform, simply to climb it faster.

### Skills:

Vania seems to be immortal to some regard, having seemingly not aged in the span between 008's intro and the beginning of 001. (about 20~ years.).

### Weaknesses:

Being a Vampire, Vania most likely has some sort of weakness to the sun, and in turn, light magic.

### Equipment:

Vania used chains as a whip, an axe, and a spear on her way through Castle Gwain, although its unknown if she kept them after her escape. She seems to have some access to Moontech gear, getting a EXE-Visor and EXE-Blade for Geo.

## History

### Pre Gwain Saga

In Episode 008, Vania awakens from a prison, and breaks out. Heading for the throne room, she destroys several robots and undead on the way. Upon reaching the throne room, Vania encounters Gwain, and demands to know where her Wain is, on account of her being, "that damned woman who locked me away".

Gwain says that Wain died in Lawren's Cataclysm, and that any pending issues Vania might have will have to be sorted out with her. Vania taunts her, saying she has no interest in kicking her face. Gwain then begins a fight with Vania, though this is cut short. Its implied that Vania wins this fight, and earns her freedom, however she seems to stay in touch with Gwain and the Royal Family.

In a picture Ami has in her room, it is implied Vania was hired by Gwain to be her bodyguard (Or more likely, her caretaker) though she quit for an unknown reason (possibly Ami getting older, meaning she would be able to care for herself).

### Gwain Saga - 001

When Geo wakes up from being knocked out by wolves, Vania stands before him. She briefly explains to Geo about his physical changes upon entering Teora, that they make him a "super being" in this world. Vania says that Geo will use these capabilities to do good in the universe, starting by saving Ami. Vania also gives Geo the EXE-Blade and the EXE-Visor, claiming she has no idea how they worked, but tells him that to take care of them because they were hard to obtain. She also asks Geo to forget he ever saw her, and says, "I hope you don't suffer the same fate I did in this world."

## Trivia

* Vania is most likely a reference to the Castlevania series of games, considering her name, her race, and the prologue to Episode 008, where she fights in a way that resembles Castlevania's gameplay.
* Despite being a vampire, Vania does not appear to have fangs, which is one of the vampire's attributes listed by Marlow. However, there is a possibility that she filed them down. Moreover, Vania shows no sort of magic abilities in any of her appearances, which, according to Marlow, is also something vampires are capable of. However, it is likely that she prefers fighting with her own strength.
* In Episode 008, there is a photo of her together with a very young Ami, when she still had her bunny-ear headband. This suggests that Gwain once trusted Vania enough to let her be close to Ami for this photo.
* Since Vania is a very mysterious character, theories are constantly made about who she is and what she will do in the future of the series. Some of these theories include her being Luna, her being Ami's biological mother, and even her being Geo's mother.
