**Nebulis**, also known as the "**Grand Witch**" by the Empire, is the strongest Astral Mage to be ever be born. After causing a calamity in the Heavenly Empire one hundred years ago, she founded the Nebulis Sovereignty and went into a deep slumber.

Her full name is **Eve Sophi Nebulis**.

## Appearance

Nebulis has the appearance of a young girl, no older than twelve or thirteen, with a characteristic tanned copper skin. Her hair is long and pearlescent in color. She wears a frilly outfit.

## Personality

Nebulis has a great hatred toward the empire and wishes to destroy it completely, having no problem killing astral mages if they got in her way including her sister's descendants (such as Alice and Sisbell). She is also somewhat arrogant, dismissing Iska and Alice's ability to stop her.

She doesn't believe in heroes or saviors, seeing them as unrealistic, and prefers to be considered a "witch" that simply destroys the enemy.

When she was a regular human, she used to be bright and carefree.

## History

Nebulis was once a human citizen from the Empire, but that changed when astral energy was discovered. Like many others that were exposed to the energy, she developed a mark in her back and obtained supernatural abilities, giving rise to the first astral mages.

Over time, the common folk began to fear them, and as a result they were rounded up into concentration camps where they were subjected to inhumane treatment and executions. As the strongest astral mage of the time, possibly even now, she led the revolt against the Empire.

It was said that she had faced against thousands of Imperial soldiers all on her own; and eventually burned down the entire capital of their oppressors. After this, she went on to found the Nebulis Sovereignty, or at least play a part in it, since the true founder was her younger twin sister, Nebulis I.

Because her astral power was even capable of changing the flow of time, Nebulis fell into suspended animation instead of aging, waiting for the time to take her revenge on the Empire again. The truth behind her survival was then kept hidden from the public, with the only ones who knew about it being the royal family and a select few.

## Synopsis

### Volume 1

When Alice fought Iska for the fist time, Nebulis' astral powers reacted to the swordsman's Astral Swords, releasing some of her restraints.

After a couple of days, her bindings became fully undone, marking Nebulis' return after a century of slumber. However, she wasn't completely awake yet, and was driven by the astral power's automatic defense mechanism in response to the astral swords. She appeared before Alice, Iska, Rin, and Mismis when they were on the neutral city and attacked them.

Despite being a descendant of her twin sister, Nebulis still attacked Alice for siding with Iska, an Imperial soldier. Because of her indiscriminate assault, Rin was rendered unconscious protecting the four of them, turning Alice against her.

As soon as the two figured out that her weakness was her wings, Nebulis woke up completely, disappointed that her powers woke her up early due to measly opponents. Following an intense battle against Iska and Alice's coordinated attacks, Iska chops off Nebulis' wings with his swords, sending her back into a deep slumber.

### Volume 10

Awakening from her deep slumber once again, she was held off from going out by Alice. But despite the girl's best efforts, Nebulis beat her and headed straight towards the Empire.

### Volume 11

While nearing the Empire, Crosswell intercepts her at the border and prepares to fight against her.

### Volume 12

Crosswell talks to Nebulis, and he reflects about how he should've passed his knowledge and mission to their younger generations instead of keeping everything to himself. He said he was going to change the Empire, but this was just a pipe dream and the war only got worse. Crosswell has been dreaming for a century, and she'll bring him back to reality.

After fighting for a while, the Emperor Yunmelngen suddenly teleports both of them to Elletear Lou Nebulis IX and they don't waste any time to attack her, as they know what kind of calamity lies inside of her. Elletear then recites a song from the "Great Star Disaster" and incapacitates the three former friends, whose bodies are badly reacting to the Star Disaster. Eventually, Elletear retreats and leaves two cyclops for everyone to fight. Nebulis drops the "Staff of Heaven" one of them to finish it off, and teleports off since she hates the Empire, but won't ignore what Elletear has become.

## Abilities

**Longevity:** Like both Crosswell Nes Lubigate and Emperor Yunmelngen, Nebulis has lived for more than 100 years and still maintains her youth appearance even today.

**Space-Time Astral Power**: Nebulis' astral power and the oldest astral spirit born from the earth's core. The spirit can access the memories of the planet to bring forth phenomena of all kinds from across space-time. In addition, with her power over space, she is able to manipulate the atmosphere to either condense it into a protective shield, or warp it into invisible blades.

* **Fire Astral Power**: By contacting the "Will in the third layer", Nebulis gains access to the astral power of flames. Her flames can react with the oxygen present, setting off a chain of explosions and turning her surroundings into an inferno.
* **Earth Astral Power**: By contacting the "Will in the second layer", Nebulis gains access to the astral power of earth. With the power of the earth, she is able to summon a golem with the appearance of a lion and the size of a small mountain.
* **Other Astral Powers**: She has also shown to be able to manipulate ice and wind.

**Shadowy Haze**: A manifestation of Nebulis' astral spirit, which exudes from the Astral Crest on her back, taking the form of jet-black wings.

### Astral Arts

* ***So Aves Cal Pile*** *(Come, divine staff)*: She gathers the shadowy haze into her right hand, giving it the shape of a staff. The staff can then be thrown as an attack, with enough power to destroy space itself and the landscape.

## Relationships

* **Nebulis I**

Nebulis I is her younger twin sister. Eve has shown that she trusts her sister, letting her carry out her duties and command the Sovereignty in her stead when she was unable to.

* **Crosswell Nes Lubigate**

Crosswell is her and her sister's relative, but she treats him like a brother. Before the discovery of Astral Energy, she let him stay at their house when the young man recently moved to the capital. After awakening, she was able to recognize Crosswell's swords from Iska. During the chaos at the Heavenly Empire, Nebulis confronted Crosswell as well clashed against each other.
