### Occupations

Villain

**Stigma** (スティグマ *Sutiguma*?) is a mysterious young boy and the leader of Amalareiks, a villainous organization. He is the main antagonist of *SHY* manga series.

## Appearance

Although his age is unknown, Stigma appears to be a mischievous, young boy with fair complex. His face is covered with frickles and he is always with a calm, almost anormally happy expression. Stigma has messy, short blonde hair which sticks up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself and guileful, golden eyes. He is always seen with a white long-sleeved shirt and pants held with suspenders.

## Personality

Stigma is a frighteningly calm and collected young boy. By his first appearance, he showed himself as a quite ruthless and twisted person with mysterious goals. Not much is know about his true thoughts but Iko Koishikawa once said that he's like someone who doesn't want to grow up, forcefully childish by the ways his Heart seemed to be. He finds the true nature of Hearts as something beautiful and is unfazed by danger, as he smiles always even with Heroes pursuiting him.

## History

Stigma first appeared in England, to which he used Stardust's friend as a weapon of havoc through his rings. Stardust was obliged to take his friend's finger off to stop the chaos.

## Synopsis

Stigma suddenly appears at Tanpopo Middle School's nurse's office after Teru Momijiyama left Iko Koishikawa alone, feeling pain in her leg. He embrances her, finding it "pitiful". Iko asks who he is but he only tells her she shouldn't hide her heart from others, putting a dark-looking ring on her finger. Making a monologue about the true nature of the heart, Teru returns and see a monster-looking version of Iko. He appears in front of her, finding her heart beautiful and telling Teru that he just freed her heart, stating that humans needed to set their hearts free. Teru asks him what he wants and he responds the same thing, breaking Iko's crystallized wing, making her fall and scream in pain. He then appears observing Shy and Iko from afar after everything was resolved.

Stigma revives Letana Andreanova as Sveta Kooriskaya, and sends her to the Arctic to deal with the Heroes. Just as she ends up falling asleep due to one of Meng Long's techniques, Stigma appears in the Arctic along with other members of his organization to take Sveta away. He likes the names of Heroes, especially Meng Long, who is eventually saved by Spirits. Stigma decides to name them Amalareiks and leaves the Heroes behind.

Following Tzveta's disappearance, Stigma consoles Keheheh Kekerakera, assuring her that they would all be united in the end.

Stigma visits Utsuro Karakururi in Tokyo Tower to talk with her. As she views herself as a pawn in his hands, he denies that notion, and tells her he can help her realize that dream. He then tells her to look up into the sky.

## Equipment

**Made in Heart** (心遺物 (メイド・イン・ハート)  *Meido in Hāto*?): Stigma created various dark-colored rings which can increase darkness in human's Hearts. It has a piece of his own Heart so that he can be connected to the person he gave the ring to. It gives the ability to produce black crystals which the user can attack his opponents with. The only way to make them return to their sane state of mind is removing the ring from their finger or simply cut their finger off.

## Quotes

* (To Iko Koishikawa) "*Pitiful. Pitiful girl. You hide your Heart and cry alone. Who made you this way? Why must you hide your Heart deep inside? Wouldn't it be better to let yourself be free? **Now, don't be shy. Let the world see your Heart...***"
* "*So many Hearts on this star... All locked away and hidden from sight, trapped inside these human-shaped cages. They are convinced that their true side needs to be hidden. By destroying these cages, I shall convince them otherwise. **I shall let the world see, the true form of their Hearts! How*** **beautiful *they truly are.***"

## Trivia

* "Stigma" is a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person but it's also marks corresponding to those left on Jesus' body by the Crucifixion. A social stigma is a strong disapproval of personal characteristics or beliefs, which go against cultural norms.
