Sündige Nacht

*See also Marchionne’s Witch of Rebirth!*

No matter what I do, we are doomed to repeat this cycle. I tried so hard to finally escape this maze.

–***Sündige Nacht, after defeated by Mario***

**Sündige Nacht** is an antagonist in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC- Wonderland Update. He is considered to be the true king of Wonderland. He has a crown, which grants one wish to those who get it.

## Appearance

Sündige Nacht's appearance is very unusual, since it is inspired by a fictional animal called *wolpertinger*, which appears in German mythology. He has two rabbit ears, two antlers, a pair of crow wings, a blue suit, and a red cloak. He has heterochromia (with his left eye blue and right eye yellow, exactly like Len's eyes). He carries all of the symbols (spade in his left eye and on his scythe, diamond in his right eye, heart on his left-hand sleeve, a club on his right-hand sleeve and these symbols all over this clothes).

The first time he is mentioned is in several notes left in the forests (most likely written by Len). Using the notes, it can be inferred that his real name was Marchionne.

## Story

After Mario is executed by the Iron Maiden, Sündige Nacht comes to the courtroom only to find it empty. He was too late to save Mario. Sündige Nacht regrets not saving Mario sooner, since the former cannot escape Wonderland without the latter.

Len walks up to him and simply comments, "How sad." Then she questions why Sündige Nacht is not happy with the "perfect world" he created. Sündige Nacht indignantly responds to Len that he is obviously unhappy because she cursed him to live his life in a world he never wanted. She replies that Sündige Nacht would never escape even with Mario's help, and states that it's amusing for her to watch him pointlessly find a way to leave.

Len continues to state that his attempt to escape by faking his own death was the very thing that caused Mario to die. She says that interferance is useless, since no matter what he does, it will always lead to death. Sündige tells Len that he never wanted to be trapped in this world and states that he and everyone else do not deserve this kind of suffering.

Len then expressed mock sympathy and says that she should put him out of his misery. Then she impales him right through the chest. Sündige Nacht is shocked, and states that his death was never part of the deal, which indicates that at some point in time, Sündige Nacht or Marchionne made an agreement with Len. Len then says that the contract allows her to terminate the "experiment" as she pleases. Sündige Nacht then dies. Len gives his lifeless body an eerie smile, and mysteriously states that she will "see him soon," suggesting that Sündige Nacht will either be reincarnated or replaced by another Mario iteration.

## Relationships

### Mario

Initially seeming to care for Mario's safety, Sündige Nacht becomes his enemy when the former refuses to join the latter in his plans to defeat Len and escape, which can indicate that Sündige Nacht ultimately saw Mario as simply a tool to help him escape Wonderland.

### Len

Sündige Nacht loathes Len, since she is the very one who trapped him in Wonderland in the first place. He believes she is unjust since she is forcing him through an unnecessary vicious cycle of suffering.
