Levia Barisol

"*…Relax, okay? I’m not doing anything excessive anymore. For the time being…hm?*"
―Levia
**Levia Barisol**, also known as the true **Master of the Heavenly Yard**, was one of the four gods in the Evillious universe. Originally a human from the First Period, Levia later joined the earthlings in their digital universe, bringing them into reality to revitalize the destroyed world. She later joined Behemo in the earthlings' rebellion against Luna Hazuki, becoming sealed in Sin and cursing Gallerian Chirclatia.

## History

### Early Life

"*No one knew that Dr. Behemo even had a twin sister. She just appeared out of nowhere, and was selected for the crew of the ‘Climb One’ solely because she studied under you for several years…*"
―Clarith regarding Levia
Levia Barisol lived in the technologically-advanced First Period, Earth. Born the wealthy only daughter of Barisol, Levia developed an affinity for crossdressing and playing with soldier toys, to the disgust of her peers. Later, Levia started dating a servant under her employ. When one day she requested to borrow the man's clothes so she could wear them, the flustered and uncomfortable man denied the request.

During this time, humanity created a virtual world known as the Second Period; due to being related to one of the developers, Levia had the avatar based on herself revised to be a boy, Behemo Barisol, as that was her ideal self. As the avatars became too advanced in terms of intelligence and technology, the First Period humans decided to create a crisis in the form of HER. However, Behemo made contact with the First Period, thinking Levia was himself from a parallel world.

Later on, Levia hid from angry voices in a room surrounded by massacred soldier limbs. As he did, she found herself rescued by Behemo, creating a new avatar of herself within the Second Period that, this time, had no revisions.

### Escape from Reality

"*—I orchestrated things so that these superior avatars…these ‘members of the spaceship Climb One’ wouldn’t know the truth. They would discover a new planet and build there a new world, the ‘Third Period’…that was the ‘story’ I had them set to work under.*"
―Levia
While in the digital world, Levia became employed at Professor Held Yggdra's clinic and research facility and became Behemo's coworker. During this time, she studied under Professor Lich Arklow, as well as Held, and had an artificial eye installed into her body. As the Second Period began to collapse due to HERs contaminating the world, Behemo, Levia, and 70 other scientists boarded one of several spaceships intended to travel to inhabitable planets and repopulate them, theirs under the name Climb One; Levia then made it so that the Climb One would bring them into reality.

As they lost contact with all their fellow spaceships, the crew of the Climb One realized they were the last inhabitants of Earth and decided to create a new species in the image of earthlings, Levia in charge of creating their bodies. While making the bodies, she also created a body shaped like a dragon from fantasy.

After finding a new planet to inhabit, really the site of the destroyed Earth, they set about constructing the new world and species; they also set up an underground laboratory to hold their equipment, Lunaca Labora, which led into a separate repository called the Grave Yard. Levia was placed in charge of the Grave Yard. During this time, Levia was also present at a research facility was established on the moon above the planet. At some point, she also engineered the Black Box Type B, with one ending up in the Grave Yard.

During this Pale Noël, an HER who had secretly boarded the Climb One, instigated the deaths of 62 of the crew members and contaminated the new species to have a possibility of developing HER Syndrome. The remaining crew, including Levia, proposed they reincarnate as gods into the world to guide the humans, unaware that at least Behemo was an HER. When Held and Luna Hazuki disagreed, Levia joined the ensuing fight and was killed along with everyone else when it caused the Climb One to crash, leaving behind only her spirit data. Although Behemo and Levia planned to escape using the dragon body she made, Held and Luna had sabotaged the plan beforehand.

Levia and her colleagues remained trapped in the Climb One for some time while the new species of humans began building their societies. Around this time, they forgot Luna's existence. Eventually, the humans of Magic Kingdom Levianta discovered the Climb One; Levia and Behemo began whispering to Aron Merry-Go-Round, establishing him as a prophet and themselves as gods, with a lofty account of the Third Period's creation. The two became worshipped in the new Behemoth faith and a temple was built around the Climb One, renamed the "Sin" ark.

### False Gods

While establishing themselves as deities, the earthlings came in contact with Pale Noël, who had had reincarnated as a human and later become a scientist in the new Magic Kingdom Levianta; having succumbed to HER Syndrome, Levia and the others plotted with him to destroy the Third Period. As Pale refused to move them into new bodies, Levia and Behemo also plotted to make proper bodies for themselves, planning to make them with earthling DNA so that they could use Black Box Type L and move them out of the Sin.

In BT 005 the two "gods", acting as Aron's parents, told him that they would destroy the world if their worshippers didn't cleanse the ark Sin by creating human vessels for them. Prophet Marry-Go-Round shared the twin gods' lies with the nation and started Project 'Ma' to create suitable twin vessels for them to inhabit; its second project finally produced the twins Hänsel and Gretel on December 27, EC 0, only for the father Seth Twiright to flee with the twins shortly after. As Project 'Ma' faced continual failure over the years, Levia and Behemo grew impatient.

After Meta Clockworker witnessed her fiancé Gallerian murder her sister Irina Clockworker in EC 013, the twin gods decided to entice the woman to free them from Sin in their dragon body, unwilling to wait for their bodies to grow up and knowing that, as a clone of Pale's human form, Meta could use Black Box Type L. Behemo enticed Meta to go to the Sin and cast the Clockwork Secret Art to restore the aged device, as well as to use the black box. Before Levia and Behemo could transfer into the dragon body, however, the mindless beast grew violent and destroyed the ark, and the black box caused Levia and Behemo to curse Gallerian.

### Eternal Sorcerer

*Main Article: Gallerian Chirclatia*

"*The mage. Back when he was still 'Gallerian Clockworker' in the truest sense of the term.*"
―Gallerian regarding Levia and Behemo's curse
Once they cursed Gallerian Chirclatia, Behemo watched over him while Levia slumbered. "Gallerian Clockworker" met with Held a few years later and was tasked with collecting the vessels of sin, accepting the quest to pass his "newfound" immortality.

Over the centuries, Gallerian traveled across Evillious, helping anyone in need that he came across and getting involved with the Glassred Event, the Disappearance of Evil Food Eater Marlon, the Lucifenian Expansion War, and Alexiel's evil reign. During the latter period, he incarnated Held's forest spirits Clarith and Lemy as humans, training the latter as his apprentice.

Gallerian and Lemy continued the search for the vessels of sin across the continent while pursuing Irina who was also seeking the vessels. After Gallerian confronted Adam Moonlit and forced the wizard's spirit into his own, he realised the extent of Behemo's curse. In denial, Gallerian continued pursuing the red cat mage Irina Clockworker and eventually dueled her at Merrigod Plateau on January 30, EC 611. After Irina activated her Black Box Type S during the duel, Behemo and Levia were transported into Behemo's own inner psychological world.

### Reawakened

"*Come, let’s renew the duel! Behemo, and—I’ll destroy you as well, Levia!*"
―Irina Clockworker
Manifesting in her original form, Levia ascended the stairs of the illusory Leviantan temple before her and met with Irina and Lemy in their true forms at the top. Recognizing Lemy as Hänsel, she greeted Lemy as one of the "twins of God" before she realized he'd lost all of his memories as a result of reincarnating. She then greeted Irina, noting her as one of the "ghoul children" Pale made by copying her method.

After witnessing Adam Moonlit and then Behemo ascend the remaining two staircases, Levia silently watched while his twin brother discussed "Gallerian Clockworker's" curse with Irina. After they finished their conversation, Levia watched Irina reveal how she had experimented with Adam inside the Clockworker's Doll, giving Adam the ability to summon them all to the Court. After they were all summoned to the "Court", a realm of judgment that equalized everyone and made it possible to kill gods, Irina challenged Levia and Behemo to continue their duel.

When Behemo explained to Lemy how the crossdressing Levia was his sister, Levia chided him over his embarrassment of her habit, arguing nothing was wrong with it. When Irina eventually prepared to resume the fighting, the five of them were interrupted by the Demon of Gluttony. The duel then began; as Irina, Behemo, and the demon's magic all clashed, the resulting blast blew Levia out of the Court.

### Meeting in Hell

"*I was just blown down here to the Hellish Yard by the blast. It’s probably the same for you.*"
―Levia to
Lemy
After the blast, Levia ended up in the Hellish Yard. Not knowing the route to the ground world from there, she traveled to the gates to the Heavenly Yard and found Pale in his original form as a mask nearby. She then began stomping on the demon until Lemy approached her; greeting him, Levia explained how the blast had apparently brought them there. After reintroducing Pale to the puzzled Lemy, she further speculated that the Demon of Gluttony seemed to have opened a hole when he entered the mental world. In response to Lemy's questions, Levia admitted she didn't know where Behemo, Adam or the Demon of Gluttony were.

She furthermore explained that she didn't know the way to the ground world and suggested visiting heaven to talk to Held; when Pale requested to be left behind, not wanting to go to heaven and no longer interested in the ground world, Levia obediently tossed him back to hell. After she passed through the doors, she noticed Lemy hadn't followed her and learned he couldn't pass through, being a still-living mortal. As Lemy questioned her again for options, Levia revealed that only the Master of the Hellish Yard would know how to get back to the ground world and that the Master was Behemo.

When Lemy stated his resolve to wait for Behemo to come get him, Levia expressed her amusement at the idea before explaining it could actually happen if Behemo succeeded in destroying the world, making it possible for Lemy to leave and Behemo to come to hell freely. When asked, she clarified that she herself no longer had the motivation to destroy the Third Period. After a while, Levia revealed to Lemy that there was a soul-eating miasma that permeated hell. Then she made her farewells and went to the Heavenly Yard.

### Return to Heaven

"*I was just looking at the history that occurred while I was sleeping. I have the right to know that much, don’t I?*"
―Levia to Held
Once she arrived in the Heavenly Yard, Levia was surprised to find the moon's landscape transformed, the former site of the research facility covered in rice fields. After determining it was the doing of TALOS, who had become the sun god of the world, Levia brushed it off and decided to find the Akashic Recorder in TALOS's Black Box to check on the progress of the Third Period. After finding the device, Levia was exasperated to find it locked. With TALOS gone from heaven, Levia changed the channel on her artificial eye to examine the inner workings of the box. Levia was surprised to spot a human soul inside the box.

Using a microphone mechanism, she talked with the soul and learned that she had been trapped in the box for unknown reasons by "Sickle." Introducing herself as "Sickle's" former colleague, Levia tried to persuade the suspicious human to let her help them get out of the box; asking for her name, she eventually learned the girl was Rin Avadonia. After instructing Rin on how to get out of the box and seeing the girl on her way to the Gardens of Champs-Élysées, Levia entered it herself. Finding the Akashic Recorder, Levia received all the information regarding the Third Period's history up until that point.

Reviewing the ground world's history, Levia learned more about Rin and her role as one of the "keys" to the world's creation, as well as how Behemo, Irina, and Adam had caused Gallerian's curse to accelerate and how several of her old colleagues had reincarnated as Demons of Sin. She also learned how several of the ghoul children that Pale created were frozen at the underground Freezis facility beneath Castle Hedgehog in Marlon, one of them having escaped and mixed with humans. Once she'd finished, Levia mused on all the information that she had learned. Peeved by the information on Pale in particular, she decided to eliminate the rest of the ghoul children on the ground world.

Using the black box, she sent a message to the Zorach Family guarding the Freezis facility to terminate the devices and the children in them. After her orders were carried out by one of the family's members, Levia exited the black box and found Held awaiting her with Rin. As Held chastised her for her current behavior, Levia brushed him off and dismissed Held in turn for his loyalty to Sickle . Before Rin was returned to the black box, she chatted with her over her failure to meet with Alexiel at the Gardens of Champs-Élysées. After suggesting that Alexiel would reincarnate in the east in two hundred years, Levia said her farewells and left.

### Eastern Servant

"*As for me, I’ve been having fun ‘playing human’ for this brief time. –I got to meet someone so interesting as Gakuga-san, after all.*"
―Levia regarding her Bufuko persona
In EC 828, Levia had Rin reincarnate in Jakoku to meet with Alexiel as planned. When the enraged Sickle ordered her to retrieve Rin, Levia arrived in Jakoku and decided to instead masquerade as a human man until Rin potentially failed to find Alexiel.

Taking up the identity of "Bufuko Tsukimoto", Levia became a servant to the Octo Family, serving the samurai Anan Octo. Following the great fire that struck Enbizaka in EC 838, Bufuko was assigned to care for the severely burned Gakuga Octo after he was taken in by Magistrate Gato Octo. Over the years, Bufuko fed and nursed the helpless tailor back to health, Gakuga repeatedly mistaking her for his dead son, Ren.

In EC 842, Enbizaka's local doctor made a house call to Gakuga and Bufuko learned that Gakuga had made a miraculous recovery. Bufuko chatted with the doctor about her own medical experience before going to prepare dinner for Gakuga and the doctor. After she returned and fed them, she watched as Anan entered and interrogated Gakuga yet again over the location of his family's blades. After she'd argued with Anan over his pointless interrogation, Bufuko further argued with Anan when he announced Gakuga was being evicted from the Octo residence, insisting that the tailor's mind hadn't yet recovered.

Anan further explained that he was now aiding the Freezis Foundation and that Bufuko would return to serving him; after bemoaning the situation, and then requesting Gakuga tailor her a servant outfit, Bufuko said her goodbyes and traveled to Enbizaka with Anan to work at the trade house. Later that year, Gakuga visited Bufuko and gave her requested servant outfit, to Bufuko's delight. During her work, Bufuko found Grim the End by chance in the luggage of a Freezis trading ship. Later on, when a new employee at the trade house named Inukichi became infatuated with Bufuko, she continually ignored the man, only to eventually agree to a date from his persistence.

When the Rangu Clan member Saruteito approached the trade house and started repeatedly calling out, Bufuko rushed out and learned she wanted to speak with Anan Octo. Although she lacked an appointment, she nonetheless alerted her master and Saruteito was able to have her meeting. When Gakuga was captured for his murders and the magistrate continually failed to execute him due to his envy magic, Bufuko stole his confiscated scissors. With the scissors and Grim the End, Bufuko approached Rintan-douji and took her to speak privately in Gakuga's tailor shop, planning to put an end to her charade.

### The Tale of Enbizaka

After giving Gakuga's scissors to the girl, Bufuko watched as Rintan refused to keep them and she noted that the girl's memories of her previous life hadn't returned thanks to Rahab's influence. Using Grim the End, Bufuko returned Rintan's memories and revealed her true identity to her as the god, Levia. She explained how she had been sent to fetch her by Sickle. She also explained how Gakuga had committed his murders to get revenge on Kai Miroku due to learning that Kai was responsible for the Enbizaka fire, this being in defiance of how the events were supposed to unfold.

Hearing Rintan's wish to save Gakuga from his deathless fate before she departed, Levia gifted her Grim the End and suggested she shape-shift it into a sword to execute Gakuga with. Warning her to be careful, as the key no longer had a demon inside it, Levia sent the girl on her way. Then, as she prepared to ascend back to the Heavenly Yard, Levia approached the reef where Rahab was having a confrontation with Gallerian. Ignoring Gallerian entirely, she found Kagura Octo's disembodied spirit and offered to give her a lift to the Heavenly Yard.

As they flew back to Onigashima, Levia chatted with Kagura about what happened to Grim the End, her deception on the ground world, and in particular Gakuga's fate. They then arrived at Enbizaka's execution grounds to meet with Rintan-douji; Rintan then said farewell to her friends with a cover story that "Bufuko" planned to take her to see her real parents. Finally, Levia ascended to the Heavenly Yard with Rintan and Kagura in tow.

### World's End

When Michelle Octo destroyed the Third Period in EC 999, Levia disappeared from the Heavenly Yard, ending up in the Grave Yard. Using her artificial eye to see a great distance, she watched from afar as Rin reunited with Alexiel at Evil's Theater, musing that the "climax" was close at hand and that Gallerian had outwitted all of them. Following Rin and Michelle confronting Gallerian, Levia teleported to within the Climb One, revealing herself as the true Master of the Heavenly Yard. She then explained to Rin the nature of the First Period as well as how the earthlings from the Second Period were online avatars brought into the real world. After Rin and Alexiel enacted a Re\_birthday to create a new world, Levia became one of the members of the "Evillious" SNS group chat, commenting on the state of the new world.

## Personality and Traits

"*There’s no mistake, that’s my younger twin sister. We’re fraternal twins. …She's a real pervert, Levia.*"
"*Pervert’ is so harsh, brother. What’s so bad about a woman dressing up like a man?*"
―Behemo and Levia
Although intelligent in her field, Levia had become sardonic after years of wear. In conversation she was prone to making snide remarks at others' expense and could be flippant when in a bad mood, although she was mocked in return by her "brother" for being eccentric. Not caring what others thought of her, Levia was fond of crossdressing and engaging in typically "masculine" behaviors such as military training, playing with toy soldiers as a child, and wearing suits in particular, all in spite of using female pronouns. Her cheeky attitude extended to how she treated her colleagues from the Second Period.

Immediately following the initial destruction of the Climb One, Levia's HER corrupted her spirit data. In combination with the disastrous events that led to the Climb One's crashing, this resulted in her assisting Behemo in attempting to destroy humanity and start over from scratch. Although considerably calmed down after her re-awakening, she acted on her own agenda behind Sickle's back, choosing to toy with humanity directly while keeping her true intentions to herself. She similarly would act cagey and cryptic about her goals to others, in some cases outright lying about them, coloring her grey morality with childish mannerisms and snark.

Despite all this, as the main creator of humans' physical bodies and as the only one to know the truth about the First and Second Periods, Levia had humanity's best interests at heart. This was demonstrated by her initial efforts to bring her colleagues in the Second Period simulation into the real world, as well as by her reluctance to harm humanity once it had developed following her reawakening. Her desire to have the ghoul children under Castle Hedgehog killed, as well, was presumably as much to prevent their potential to spread HER as it was a matter of offense over having her work plagiarized. She continued to be helpful to those like Gakuga and Rin, and ultimately desired to facilitate the reformation of humanity as the Master of the Heavenly Yard.

## Skills and Abilities

"*There’s no arguing that she’s a prodigy. I can guarantee that, as her mentor.*"
―Lich regarding Levia
Levia was an intelligent scientist who specialized in the creation of artificial bodies, being the mind behind creating human bodies and even fantasy creatures like dragons. She was similarly savvy in operating the technology of the Second Period, though lacking the expertise for more complex mechanical devices. Having received an artificial eye implant, Levia could adjust his sight via switching the channel settings at the command of her brain, allowing her see great distances, as well as through solid surfaces or pitch darkness at will. Levia's handsome appearance also made it difficult to distinguish her from a male.

After becoming a god, Levia had extreme longevity and automatically reincarnated after death. Despite this, she was still subject to the rules of the Third Period, although she was still free to move between worlds without any hazard, traversing into the Heavenly Yard without being burned. Levia also possessed great magical power and was able to fly.

## Character Connections

Behemo Barisol: Levia's digital counterpart. Conceptualizing him as her ideal self, she was later shocked as he made contact with her world, eventually joining him as an avatar herself. Although willing to work with her "brother" as colleagues, the two had a barbed relationship, with Levia flippant in the face of his embarrassment over her deviant behavior. When Behemo cursed Gallerian even more, Levia pointedly ignored him, disavowing him as a "brother".

Luna Hazuki: A colleague of Levia's. Levia worked with Hazuki reasonably well during the Second Period, but was willing to try and kill her during the creation of the Third Period.

Held: One of Levia's instructors. Levia worked under Held as a student and employee, although later on she became critical of Held's strong loyalty to Sickle.

Gakuga Octo: A man Levia met as Bufuko. Levia came to care about Gakuga to some extent while nursing him back to health, and commented later that she found him to be an interesting person.

Anan Octo: Levia's master as Bufuko. Levia served Anan dutifully as his servant, although wasn't above quarreling with her master when she disagreed with his decisions.
