Anesidora

> *"Look at you, Mallory. Look at your sweet, sweet face. How disgusting. Look what you did to yourself. Look at what you did to your poor, poor body. You worthless, cryptic mass of nerves. You can't live your life in this halfway state forever. Looks to me like you know just where you stand, Mal... I still hear your cries of begging, pleading for me to come back. And now you're here, in front of me, with the biggest smile on your face. But poor, dear Mallory, you have forgotten something yet again, like you always do... Opening Pandora's box has it's consequences. You won't find the pathetic emotional crutch you wanted in me. Or someone who conveniently shares your emotional scars, either. What I see here... is a woman who can only define herself through the continued denial of the reality that she never knew me at all. A pathetic woman still haunted by my death, leaving behind a slight hint of dissatisfaction. Nothing but a failed lab rat. A result of yourself. A result of what you could not achieve. Don't you see, Mal? You never knew me at all. But you're so afraid of that truth that you forcefully hid it behind... yourself. Took it out on yourself. Ah, my dear. I hope you're finally proud of yourself. You've officially become worse than the monster you created."*

**Anesidora** is a scientific researcher affiliated with Compass, and an Artificial Other created through the Artificial Other Project.

## Appearance

Anesidora is a very beautiful lady with long hair that is mostly a silvery color, with some black bits here and there, however it is presumed that her original hair color is black. Her eyes are heterochromatic; one is green, the other is a lilac color. Her eyes always look very gentle, to the point that she always looks tired.

Anesidora wears a long, form fitting black dress, where you could see a bit of her boobs and stomach through a window. Her outfit is so thin to the point you can see the outlines of her thighs.

## Personality

Charming, alluring, and exceedingly dangerous, Anesidora is herself an enigma.

Anesidora is a very calm and passive woman almost never losing her cool regardless of the situation. She is described as a very mysterious woman as many who know her have a difficult time telling what she is after. She tends to take an interest in anything that is considered "rare" such as Elizabeth's powers and various Others she can use for her experiments. Even Others have a hard time understanding what she's after.

Despite her mysterious nature, according to Mallory, Anesidora is a very kind and cheerful woman. She is normally kind and polite to everyone around her, even those she does not know.

Anesidora loves knowledge above all else. Because of her desire to learn everything, she suspended her own age to have all the time in the world to study and learn everything. For that reason she regularly takes excitement whenever she has the potential to learn anything she does not know about. Because of her desire for knowledge, Anesidora is a very shrewd and intelligent woman being able to calmly assess the situation at hand no matter how dire it is as well as explaining the mechanics over any form of creature or power by heart. However, Anesidora is not above acknowledging when she does not know something or when a situation is beyond her capability to understand.

Anesidora has a high capacity for deception.  Mallory learned that Anesidora didn't confide everything to her. Some actions support the idea that Anesidora's tendency to withhold or hide information may stem from a desire to protect those close to her.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Genius Intellect**: Anesidora has proven herself to be very intelligent. Much of her intellect is seen in scientific inventions, deduction of situations, and combat tactics. William himself acknowledges that Anesidora's intelligence surpasses his own immense intellect. She is very insightful of other people, allowing her to see through a person's demeanor and determine what they are thinking. Also able to read well into the situation, she can seemingly predict anything well in advance. Her knowledge has given him an innate understanding of the abilities of others and what happens when independent variables are entered into an equation.
* **Neurology Expert**: Anesidora has shown herself to be a gifted neurologist by creating the Level Upper file that could change a person's brainwaves to match hers.

## Techniques

### Creations:

* **Level Upper**: Anesidora created a sound file to stimulate the brain and alter its brainwaves; she also created a treatment program for it. It is unknown how she distributed the file, though the file can be obtained by either buying it from sellers or accessing it from internet sites. Using the Level Upper alters the brainwaves of the Others, through the stimulation of all five senses using synesthesia, to the pattern to that of Anesidora. This is due to the fact that she wants to create a brainwave network, that she will use for its calculating abilities, using the AIM diffusion fields of the Others as a common protocol in order for each brain to connect and become a network. Due to her being the one with the one whose brainwave patterns are being mimicked, she becomes the administrator of the network, which allows her to use all powers of the Others in the network. Those who use the Level Upper connect to the Level Upper Network, they gain powers not because of the fact that they have used the Level Upper, but because other Others are present in the network. This allows the Other to temporarily raise their level. Those who have the same powers, share the same experiences, allowing them to use their powers more efficiently. Using the Level Upper causes the user to be put in a comatose state, as apparently, all those who are part of the network lose control of it. Also, the one controlling the network is also capable of accessing all the abilities of the users who are connected to the network. Finally, when the controller of the network loses control of it, the consciousness of its users will form an entity made out of their AIM diffusions on the spot where the network lost control, this phenomenon is called an AIM Burst. The AIM Burst also causes painful convulsions to the unconscious users when it occurs, it is described as being tormented by a terrible dream and can only be cured by using the Level Upper treatment program.

## Relationships

### Friends:

#### Mallory

Anesidora cared deeply for Mallory, who claimed that she was closer to Anesidora than anyone else was. She trusted Mallory with the information she didn't tell others. She seems to value this connection highly; Mallory became furious when she realized that there was information that Anesidora kept even from her. It is stated by Mallory that Anesidora made her "feel like [she] was everything."

It is explained that, back in the lab in Compass, Mallory was extremely protective of Anesidora to the point of ignoring all logic and reason, and was willing to risk her own life to ensure Anesidora's safety repeatedly. It is implied that this recklessness sparked heated arguments between the two of them.
