Darcia The Third

**Darcia The Third** (*Darushia*) is a human Noble and the main antagonist of the series. He is the third and last generation of the Darcia family, who were cursed after Darcia The First disappeared into Rakuen.

## Appearance

Darcia is light-skinned, his long hair blue-gray in color with a slight greasy look. Mostly he wears dark purple clothing, a long robe or gown, with trousers, long-sleeved shirt, and black boots or shoes. His most distinguishing feature is his left eye, which is a golden wolf's eye that is the result of being cursed by Rakuen. At times he wears a white mask, his left eye covered by a black patch that covers his wolf's eye.

In his wolf state, Darcia is dark purple, and is slightly larger and more stronger than other wolves. While in this state, he keeps his different colored eyes.

## Personality

Darcia is a passive individual. He is the last generation of the Darcia family. His dedication is to his beloved, Lady Hamona. When she suffers from Paradise Sickness, he is intent on retrieving the Flower Maiden, Cheza, by any means, even if he has to kill Ichigo Kurosaki and the wolves. Although he is mostly calm, Darcia is known to express slight moments of anger, such as when he believes one doesn't understand anything. Even moments of sorrow when he loses Hamona. When he becomes a wolf, he seems to be in a slight insane state of mind.

## History

Darcia was given his birthright at a very young age, becoming the leader of the Darcia family household. Later in his youth, he fell in love with the heiress of another Noble family, Hamona. They both deeply cared for each other, Darcia promising to one day take them to Rakuen. Unfortunately, Hamona succumbed to Paradise Sickness, and he dedicated himself to retrieving Cheza in hopes of saving her.
