Sahariel

**Sahariel** is the Fallen Angel of the Moon and an Cadre-Class Executive of the Grigori, holding the position of Head Governor of the Astrology Department. She is one of the Fallen Angel leaders whose position is the Researcher of the Moon.

She was the former secretary of Uriel, the Celestial Princes of Delirium, and assisted her in the creation of the Hall of Dreams, the third floor of the Akashic Records. However, due to her lusting over the children of Adam and Eve, she was banished from the silver heavens and became a Fallen Angel.

She was also the creator of the "Children of the Night", also known as the Beastmen. In their culture, she is known as the **Great Mother** and the **Mother Moon Goddess** and is revered as the Supreme Deity in their religious belief. According to Azazel, depending on her moods, she will randomly fulfill the prayers and wishes of her worshippers.

She is one of the governors of the Kuoh Academy and is responsible of the admission of fallen angels or Grigori-affliated agents into the school, such as her fellow governor Azazel as a teacher or Team Slash/Dog as college students.

## Overview

**Sahariel** (Hebrew סתריאל, Greek: Σαθιήλ) is one of the Qliphoth, corresponding to the Sephirah Binah on the kabbalistic Tree of life. It represents the Concealment of God, which hides the face of Mercy. The form of the demons attached to this Qliphah are of black veiled heads with horns, with hideous eyes seen through the veil, followed by evil centaurs.

Sahariel is described in the Book of Enoch as the 17th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels. The name is believed to be of Babylonian origin and a combination of shetar and El (God) with the name meaning "side of God". Michael Knibb believes the name to mean "Moon of God" or "Dawn of God" based on the Ge'ez copies of the Book of Enoch.

## Appearance

As a Fallen Angel, Sahariel has the power to shapeshift into countless forms and appearances depending on her current mood, completely independent from Transformation Magic.

Most often, to the point many could consider this her default appearance, Sahariel is an stunningly attractive beautiful woman with sexy hip-length black hair that has bangs hanging on the right side with two ahoges, green eyes, a mole under her left eye, red round glasses, one earring on her left ear and a voluptuous figure. She has very large breasts, being even larger than Lucifer's, and her butt is bigger than Gabriel's.

Her work outfit consists of a green knitted turtleneck, a tight black mini-skirt along with her cross garter motif stockings, and her signature white lab coat. Sahariel wearing her white lab coat is the sign that she's still doing her job and acting as a teacher. Vali described her in their first meeting as having "an aura of supremacy that strikes both fear and admiration into the hearts of men".

With her casual clothes Sahariel usually tries to maintain a strong sense of adult appeal, but depending upon her mood she's open to being more frilly and girly. During the winter, Sahariel wears a long white coat, with a mutton scarf, and low heeled boots.

In warmer weather, Sahariel wears a short coat, a fluttery flare skirt, and cute accessories. In the privacy of her apartment or the Grigori's Headquarters, Sahariel wears sheer silk baby dolls, decorated with lace to show off her breasts and butt. At the pool, she wears an extremely revealing green sling bikini that exposes about as much of her body as possible.

When appearing to Beastmen, who are known worshippers of her, she appears as a colossal figure, vaguely feminine in appearance, formed completely of silver and moonlight. She wears a white ritualistic robe and a long veil covering her hair and glowing eyes, with a silver halo of ancient Enochian hieroglyphs behind her in the shape of a crescent moon, forming the image of horns. Her voice in this form is described to be "hallowed and purely divine in nature, yet carries within it a motherly tone". From the bottom of her cloak comes giant clouds of silvery mist.

As a Seraph-ranked Angel prior to her banishment, Sahariel possesses the ability to shift back and forth between her corporeal form and her angelic form, which is extremely dangerous and beyond the comprehension of humans and monsters alike.

She in this form was a colossol humanoid being of femine, possessing features so intricate and perfect that no non-celestial beings could ever dream of possessing. She has three pairs of giant feathered wings formed of endless darkness, radiating a hellish purplish-black flame; with two covering her face, two covering her feets, and two used by her to fly.

## Personality

Sahariel is an ancient and mysterious Fallen Angel who truly personified the mysterious and esoteric aspect of the moon, being the original guardian of the celestial body. She is one of the founding members of the Grigori and has been actived since ancient time, serving both as a protector and teacher of humanity.

She is originally one of the three Governors of the Astrology Department, but was promoted to Head Governor following Kokabiel's retirement. She is noted to give Tobio advice when he's caught up in situations that he couldn't solve on his own, as well as being someone capable of giving advice to other students, despite her being a nurse. She mentions that female students sometimes ask for advice about men (despite not having experience with a man).

She always portrayed herself as being calm almost at all time, enough for people to mistake her as emotionless. Despite this, she had shown to have a very terrifying temper, capable of causing devastating violent whenever she became angered.

She has proven to have a stronger attachment towards Azazel, more so than the other students, to the point of asking for assistance in taking off her swimsuit and inviting him to her apartment for dinner. Sahariel even started to make more sexual advances toward Azazel and progressed to them having a secret relationship, accepting all of the advances he makes toward her without refusing.

Despite being calm most of the time, she can be jealous of all the other girls who're in love with Azazel as stated several times when he already spends more time with them rather than herself. Sahariel doesn't like it when Azazel talks to the others as noted when he was talking to Mio and the others over the phone when she was spending time with him in Grigori, even teasing him over the phone as punishment for taking too long.

She holds a special place for her children and family in her heart, considered them to be an essential part of her life, though she had admitted that she wouldn't have any hesitation in sacrificing them if the situation required it. She was known as being one of the few fallen angels who mourned their offspring - the Nephilim - following their deaths due to the Deluge.

Like the majority of Angels and Fallen Angels, she originally considered all non-celestial beings, including all humans and monsters and gods, to be inferior to her, like how small an atom is in comparrison to an entire universe. However, as time passed and she started to spend more and more time with humanity, she began to see their potential, something that was gifted to them with the moment Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden, and developed a 'fascination' toward them. Eventually, it was because of her fascination toward the children of men that caused her to be banished from Heaven for teaching them knowledge they shouldn't have known at the time, such as how to read the course of the moon and hunt for animals in the wild.

Following the death of her lover Elishat, Sariel began to develop a genuine care about humanity and their mortality, enough for her to become more humane in nature. Shortly before her banishment, when Uriel was having a secret meeting with her, she asked her former master Uriel to reincarnate her into a human if she ever died in the inevitable war between the Three Factions, so that she could "truly understand the heart of man", which he agreed.

## History

The Qliphoth are the shadow of the Sephirot, the chaotic force that exists when the Sephirah is unbalanced. Binah is the Sephirah that gives birth to form, the great mother of the cosmos, the eternal womb. Through her, the spiritual energy of Keter and Chokmah are woven into the matrix that eventually becomes matter. But when this force is unbalanced, then the spiritual principle is hidden, matter is taken to be simply matter, and is not understood to be simply condensed energy, which is crudified spirit. Binah, the giver of form, becomes Sahariel, the concealer of spirit.

The cortex or outer shell of Sahariel is called the order of Sheireil, "The Hairy Ones of God". This demonic order has been described as a black labyrinth of chaotic riddles, where Lucifuge reigns. The magician's third eye is opened and darkness becomes light if ascension progresses through this order. This results in the Magician learning to see the light of Lucifer and becoming clairvoyant.

In Qliphotic Kabbalah, Sahariel is the third qliphah after Thamiel and Chaigidel. Sathariel is directly connected to Thamiel, Chaigidel, Da'at, Gamchicoth and Golachab. These connections are described as gateways or tunnels, similar to the paths between the Sephiras.

## Powers and Abilities

As one of Cadre-Class Executives and founding members of the Grigori, Sahariel is an immensely powerful figure, renowned for her skills as a Master Huntress. She was one of the leaders of the Fallen Angel Faction during the Great War, having defeated many powerful angels and devils alike.

As a former Seraph, at her most powerful state, she could easily destroy over over half of the universe without the interference of others. Even after being weakened due to the amount of power she sacrificed during the war and God entering a hibernation state, she is still an dangerous figure who should never be crossed.

**Fallen Seraphic Physiology:** As a Fallen Seraph, Sahariel possesses all the traits and abilities of one.

* **Immense Angelic Power:** Sahariel possesses an immense amount of angelic power, being a former Seraphic Angel. She is one of the fallen angels who keep their angelic power after their banishment, thus making her one of the most powerful members of the Faction. Her angelic power is described to be enchanting and hypnotic, attracting those affliated with the [Night] element like moths to a flame.

**Supreme Physical Capabilities:** As an angel who once sit at the top of the supernatural hierarchy, even after her banishment from Heaven and losing the majority of her powers, Sahariel still possesses immensely powerful physical capabilities, to the point no mere supernatural beings could stand up against her without tasting absolute defeat.

* **Supreme Physical Strength:** She was able to decapitate the Evil Dragon Leader created by Rizevim with a single flick of her finger, which was said to be as strong as a Heavenly Dragon at their prime. When sparring against Vali Team, she was able to easily defeat them even when under heavily-placed charms, ones that Kuroka noted capable of making a God-Class person as weak as a Low-Class.
* **Supreme Speed:** She is known as one of the fastest fallen angels, capable of moving at a speed faster than thought itself.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** As an Angel, she possesses an immense regenerative healing factor that allows her to become virtually immune to all attacks. According to Apollon, she and the other Seraphim, both heavenly and fallen, could regenerate faster than the amount of time the attacks required to make damages onto their body. She could regenerate herself from the brink of Absolute Zero, regenerating each and every single one of her cell to their maximum quality and beyond, as well as raising her natural resistances toward her former causes of death.
	+ **Healing Aura:** She could create an aura out of her regenerative healing factor which heals all those making contact with it. In reality, however, as pointed out by Apollon, the aura's true ability is to absolutely nullify the concept of damage and forcefully rewriting the fabric of reality and existence into thinking that the attacks never exist in the first place.

**Photokinesis:** Sahariel has the power to generate and manipulate the light element in its purest form, greater than the light created by any form of magic or created by the divine energy of the gods.

* **Light Attacks:** She has the power to release/use light to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc. As one of the oldest and most powerful members of the Grigori, her skills in utilizing light as her main form of attack could be theorized as extremely high.
* **Light Constructs:** She possesses the power to manipulate photons to solidify the light, with the level of solidity going from loose jelly to metal-like hardness or beyond. By doing this, she could turn light into tools, objects, weapons and others items, create semi-living constructs and create structures/buildings of varying permanence.
	+ **Light Shield:** She could create shields of varying shapes and sizes out of the light. These shields are sturdy enough to protect herself from Sirzechs' Ruin the Extinct.
	+ **Light Restraint:** She could create giant chains out of pure light that bind, imprison, paralyze and/or otherwise stop targets moving normally and possibly completely freezing them where they were.
		- **Prison of Light:** She created a giant prison out of pure light to imprison the Evil Dragons set out by Rizevim to infiltrate the Grigori base, which was shown to sturdy enough to endure the attacks and retaliations from over a hundred Dragons which were estimated to range from High-Class to Dragon King-Class in terms of power.
* **Light Negation:** She could negate light and light-based attacks/powers of those weaker than her. She could also weaken the power of the items and artifacts that use light as an energy source.
* **Light Absorption:** She could absorb visible light or its partial wavelengths, while removing it from the source, into her body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as power source etc. She could also absorb the light attacks from the oppenent weaker than her.

**Shapeshifting:** As an Angel, Sahariel possesses the power to shapeshift into countless forms and appearances depending on her current mood, completely independent from Transformation Magic. She could transform parts of her body to that of beasts and monsters to increase her physical attacks. She transformed into a giant cauldron of bats as dark as night to freak out a young Lavinia Reni.

* **True Form:** She could enter a true form which is extremely dangerous and beyond the comprehension of gods and men and monsters alike. Any non-celestial being who lay eyes upon her true form will have their mind obliterate beyond any salvation and their corporeal and soul absolutely destroyed. Only Middle-Class Angels and Ultimate-Class Devils have the chances of survival when seeing her true form.

**Immortality:** Sariel could live indefinitely unless she is killed.

* **Immunity:** She is immuned to all poisons and diseases of both mundane and supernatural origins. However, extremely powerful ones of either angelic or demonic origins could have effects on her.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability:** She possesses a nigh-invulnerability and could only be hurt by extremely powerful attacks of either angelic or demonic origins. She couldn't be killed by regular supernatural weaponry, as only those made out of Enochian and Faustian metals could have a permanent effects on both her corporeal form and her angelic form.

**Flight:** Sahariel possesses the ability to fly, with and without the use of her 12 wings.

* **Feather Daggers:** She can use the feathers of her wings as projectiles, as the feathers themselves are stronger and sturdier than Dragon's Scales, and could cut through a 10-meter thick wall of pure Adamantine with no efforts.

## Equipment

**Silver Ship:** Sahariel owns a silver 'flying ship' which serves as the base for the Moon Chariots of the lunar deities from numerous mythologies. It is a ship made out of Empyrean Woods and Enochian Silver, engraved with countless angelic hieroglyphs and runic symbols, with a large circular emblem on the stem. It radiates a silver light that is harmful to the devils and demonic creatures, but soothing and sacred to the Vampires and Beastmen.

**Heartbreak Escalation:** Sahariel's infamous 'celestial bow'. Its true form is that of a Shooter-type Fighter Craft used by Heavens as a kinetic bombardment weapon, but she could transform it into a gold-and-silver bow imbedded with saphires. Despite this, the bow is merely a manifestation of it, as the true weapon is located in the low orbit under heavy Enochian warding. It could fire 'arrows' made out of light capable of destroying islands and piercing planets. It could also radiate a pure silvery-blue aura that is extremely dangerous toward devils and demonic creatures, capable of annihilating any being beneath High-Class in terms of demonic power.

**Moonlight Helation:** An Artificial Sacred Gear created by the Grigori through the usage of Enochian Magic of the Angels and Thaumaturgy of Saints. It has the power to transform the properties of its wielder's light attacks into a variety of different attributes, from angelic to demonic or healing to destructive.
