The 13th God of the Arcanadians, The God of Transition and Afterlife, also widely (but wrongfully) known as the Grim Reaper, Death is a lonesome and steadfast knight whose only wish is to make people believe that "death is not scary". Her true name is Morticia, and she goes under the alias Lily Knightwalker when infiltrating through Chaos-induced Main World.

## **Physical Description**

As the Arcanadian Death, Morticia's upper face is always covered by a black horse skull mask, so her true eyes color remains unknown. Her hips-length bone white hair is braided into a single braid, and her bangs is swept neatly to the right. She has pale skin, and slender but sturdy body type.

She wears a puffy dress underneath her armor.

Outside of her armor, her more casual outfit is a black and white gothic dress decorated with white roses and bones-shaped embroideries.

According to side materials, she would have the scent of wormwood, Peru balsam, anise, sandalwood, and ash.

## **Personality**

Due to spending most of her time with the voiceless dead, Death has very little social skill, often gets confused in a situation where she cannot call forth logic to solve, and acts adorably awkward when being treated intimately. When a year has 365 days, she spends 360 days of it in her Realm with the voiceless, non-sentient souls lining to be reincarnated, and the other 5 days with her fellow Arcanadians and no one else. As such, when she has to stay in a densely populated environment like a foremost academy gathering students from all over the continent, Death is visibly confused and overwhelmed by the slightest social interaction towards her, and needs the help of other Arcanadians to actually function like a human.

Knight in Shining Armor: Despite being female, Death represents this perfectly. She is a brave, kind, chivalrous and excellent swordswoman behind all the seriousness who would try her best to protect the weak and needy. Elegant, composed, and a badass knight. Often acts like a serious and steadfast knight, underneath all of that she's actually very kind and gentle.

A civilian, a hero, a criminal, a Chaos-infected individual, or even her own Champion - she sees every soul off with the same respect regardless of who they were in life. Granted, since the soul has been triple-judged by Justice, Devil and Judgement, they literally all come to her equally innocent.

Death's ultimate goal in her existence is to convince humanity that death is just the start of a new journey, and while she acknowledges how sorrowful the dead's beloved may feel, death itself is not as heinous as they believe. Being the ruler of Realm of the Dead, Death is also frequently regarded as a sound, affable, benevolent individual. While she guards the concept of transition, not transience (yes, those bear different meanings), she is a firm believer in savoring the beauty of things that don't last and welcoming the inevitable end of all lives.

While she's proud of her duty, Death has very low opinion on herself which is worsened after the chains of powerlessness she suffered during the Calamity, and her crippling self-esteem caused her to initially tell the player to leave for other Arcanadians before she remembers how she asked to be included in the Selection herself. Behind her divine might and seriousness, Death is actually a timid, socially-awkward woman with low self-esteem who constantly struggles.

She's generally perceived as a straight-laced God who rules over one of the more serious domains, but she is also a food lover and fiction reader.

## **Appearances**

### Major

* Champion of the Arcanadians CYOA
* Universal Executioners' Daily Life

## **Power and Abilities**

Her Authority over the concept of "change" that directly opposes The World's "eternity" allows her terrifying powers such as One-Hit Kill and Anti-Magic (in a World operates around magic), in turn making her almost on-par with the Top God himself. As a Multi-Melee Master, she's also no slouch in terms of physical capabilities, being a Master Swordsman even though the sword isn't her true weapon.

She's often said to be a One-Woman Army, only below The World in term of Authority, and can quickly take him down in a physical fight. However, most of the time, this is used for The Worf Effect. It may come with the fact that the Death card symbolizing the inevitability of change, one of its most powerful forms being death itself.

### Passive Abilities

* **Nigh-Absolute Immorality:**
* **Accelerated Healing Factor:**
* **Powerful immune system:** that can destroy most bioweapons mortal can come up with
* **Lack of basic human needs:** She doesn't need to breathe or have nourishment, which also means no body waste evacuate.

### Basic Divine Powers

* **Shapeshifting (limited):** Andromeda is deemed a genius at swordplay and declared "the strongest swordswoman in Zodiacus" by Moned soldiers.

### Self-Exclusive

* **Multi-Melee Master:** She's proficient with both sword and scythe, being able to change her fighting style accordingly the moment she switches to either.
	+ **Swordplay:** Her skill with a sword is amongst the top tier within the Deities, and she proves it by being able to take down the most skilled swordsman Ludentem Academy has to offer in the matter of seconds, given that she's in her top state.
	+ Scythe: It's easy to assume that sword is her primary weapon, given how she is commonly depicted as a Master Swordsman. Her real weapon is her scythe, which she only pulls out when asserting her position as the God of Transition.
* **Death Runes:** There are 3 types of Death Runes: Physical, Spiritual and Conceptual. which while can’t kill any Chaos-infected individual will weaken them greatly. However, it has a long cooldown. Since the "abrupt end" is still her domain, she can cast Death Runes that cause damage right into the physical form, soul and existence of the target (which technically would make her qualify for an Exterminator), which more than often killing the target immediately.
* **Altering one’s Alpha Graph:** Due to her power over "change", she can turn her Champion into a demigod who will not be disintegrated staying in her Realm (though it still hurts physically) and can have access to divine relics or other Arcanadians' Realm even before death via altering their Alpha Graph if they choose "Pseudo-Divinity" as their gift.
* **Transformation**
* **End Command:** Creates a short-range pulse from her standing spot which cancels all mid-casting magic spells and ends spells that are ongoing. It doesn't negate the effect of already casted ones, though.

### Weaknesses

* As an Arcanadian, her Divinity depends on mortals' belief and prayers to her.
* She's incredibly badass thanks to her power over change, but when there is an enemy whose existence is static with no start or end, her entire skillset is rendered useless.
* She is a beast in physical fights, but has little to no affinity with magic.
* Her ability to engrave the concept of death on anyone doesn't work for Chaos and Chaos-infected individuals - effectively denies her her capability to be the One-Woman Army she's talked up to be, her Authority and Divinity is stolen the most, and she often gets disabled in the worst of time. Luckily, she gets her moments to shine near the end, and it's awesome.

### Equipments

* Sword
* Scythe
* Unchanging Shawl she owns grants anyone who is in possession of it agelessness and immortality, though they can still die from outside factors.

## **Preferences & Hobbies**

### Likes

* Gothic lolita
* People who face death with dignity

### Fears

* Arguments
* Being scolded
* Darkness
* Pain

### Hobbies

* Dressing up
* Eating: She didn't start off as a foodie, but she was on the verge of ceasing to exist due to the severe lack of Divinity during her time as Lily Knightwalker, so she instinctively sought out any available source of energy to sustain herself - namely food - and clung onto it as an alternative until she could get her Divinity back. Now having returned to her godly form, she is still interested in trying new cuisine from other Worlds and checking out things related to food, though it doesn't define her character.

## **Etymology**

The "Mort" in her True Name, Mortidras, means "death" in French.

- Knightwalker: Has the "Knight" in it.

- Lily: As one of the most popular floral choices for funerals, lilies represent the restored innocence of the soul of the departed.

## **Quotes**

* *"It's already miracle, yet a natural thing, that someone would love someone without hesitation, right? So as long as the other is fine with it, I won't mind how you express your feelings."*

## **Trivia**

* She’s qualified to be an Exterminator in terms of power and skillset (being able to cause damage directly to one’s existence), but since she is already a God she cannot become one.
* Her Deity garb shares many similarities to Altria Alter's armor in Fate series.
