## History

When the Spooky Smash's essence was purified into the Banshee Fullbottle, it was discovered that the bottle's full power was locked behind an emotional barrier. Believing that his positive attitude could break through, Murray used the bottle to transform into Horizon BansheeNeedle Form. He learned, however, that the bottle's barrier could only be broken by someone filled with *negative* emotion. Instantly, Margaret refused dispute easily being the perfect user of the bottle because of being full of grief. To compensate not using it as part of a Best Match, the Somber Banshee robot and a second Horizon Driver were created. With encouragement from Murray Sutherland, Margaret took on the power of the Banshee and became Kamen Rider Somber.

Later, she used what little she knew about the Fullbottles to create a new type of power: the Sclashjellies. Using them alongside a Sclash Driver, she became Kamen Rider Somber Punch.

## Forms

#### **Somber**

*"Somber Banshee! Are you ready? Wake up crying! Get Somber Banshee! Yeah!"*

Margaret transforms into Kamen Rider Somber utilizing the Somber Banshee, which adapts the Horizon Driver's two slots into one, allowing her to use only the Banshee Fullbottle to transform.

Somber's personal weapon in this form is the Brain Teaser.

Somber can perform Hippare special attacks with the Brain Teaser depending on how many times she pulls the bottom of the weapon's handle:

* Neuro Burst
* Psycho Burst
* Turbo Burst

This form's normal finisher is the **Banshiric Finish**, where blue spirits collect around Somber's leg. She then expels all the energy in a furious and mighty Rider Kick.

#### **Somber River**

*"Bottle Splash! Somber River! Are you ready? (phrase) Somber River! Zabazabazabazaba Boom!"*

Somber River is Somber's final form, accessed by using the Somber Ocean Knuckle, loading with the Haunted River Fullbottle, in the Horizon Driver. It is hence known as the **Whirlpool Warrior**.

This form has two finishers, based on how many times the crank is turned. By cranking only once, she activates the **Atlantic Attack**. Water gathers in each of Margaret's hands which are thrown at the foe as waves. By cranking multiple times, she activates the **Atlantic Finish**. Margaret jumps into the air as a large water slide forms in mid air. She slides down it, all of the water gathering around her as she falls. All of the gathered water explodes in a large splash as she hits the enemy.

#### **Epic Somber**

*"Epic Somber Banshee! Are you ready? Wake up Somber! Get Epic Banshee! Yeah!"*

Epic Somber is Somber's super form accessed by using the Epic Somber Banshee, loaded with the Epic Somber Resolbottle in the Horizon Driver. It is an upgraded version of Somber's base form.

This form's finisher with the Horizon Driver is the **Epic Banshiric Finish**.

#### **Somber Punch**

*"Banshee Jelly! Tsubureru! Nagareru! Afurederu! Banshee in Somber Punch! Buraa!"*

Somber Punch is Somber's first upgrade form accessed by inserting the Banshee Sclashjelly into the Sclash Driver and pumping the lever.

This form's main finisher is the **Scrap Break**.
