## Appearance

### Attack of 1983

Despite causing a worldwide attack that was worth about 10.4 million lives, the Sorrowing Disorder was never actually seen at its complete state. The incident of 1983 happened so fast, nobody made out the appearance of the disorder.

### Attack of 1997

On the 16th of January 1997, the Soviet Union launched an attack on the United States of America with the intent of exorcising the Mercy and Victorian Disorders. The disorder is summoned with three huge skulls conjoined in a circular shape with one another. Extending down to its exposed chest, its heart is mangled with thousands of sealed chains, protecting its life. Its spinal cord elongates to no legs but a sharp ending. Despite having no functioning eyes or eye-sockets, the disorder is seen crying after every sin it commits.

### Possessing State

After Jackie was possessed by the Sorrowing Disorder, the right side of his jaw and mouth remained exposed showing rotten bones and teeth. His body was elongated and he was visibly taller while the majority of his general appearance remain unchanged. His arms had grown back due to a disorder's natural healing factor and his eyes seemed ''sharper'' as stated by Graves, not being able to even recognize Jackie until the second wave of attacks.

## Personality

A large part of the Sorrowing Disorder's personality is remain hidden but it is a disorder that embodies the emotion of distraught and grieve. As stated by Iris, it is a disorder that loves to cry but only bad things make it cry, giving it a preposterous outlook on the life around it. It cries over dreadful concepts such as death, rape and torture, showing a unique side of sincerity and empathy from a disorder. But as aforementioned, it has an obsessive endearment to shedding tears and so it seeks havoc and chaos, justifying its cruel acts in the name of pleasure. Its twisted selfishness is emphasized on further when it possessed Jackie Butcher to comply to Iris' pact to attain freedom from the Soviet Union, proceeding to attempt to kill his sister and anyone in its way. In the disorder's final moments, it smiled and weeped as it destroyed Jackie's home, dying in happiness before being able to fulfill its pact with the Mercy Disorder.

The third wave of lead attaches to rotten-bruised bones. The fourth wave of lead attaches to any living matter without flesh, such as flowers or trees. The fifth wave of lead attaches to non-living matter in mixed state, which comprises of water and air. The sixth and final wave of lead attaches to non-living matter in its pure condition.
