Lieselotte Achenbach

**Lieselotte Achenbach** is a playable character in the *Arcana Heart* series. Despite her age, she was once a ruthless killer who does cruel acts of violence and torture to those who annoy her. She also happens to be Zenia's little sister.

Her Arcana is **Gier**, the Arcana of Darkness.

## Bio

*A wanted criminal visiting Japan for unknown reasons. After the loss of her family she has become emotionally scarred and works as an assassin. With droplets of her own blood she is able to control Gier, while her beloved sister Elfriede controls the puppet she battles with from afar. Doing various shady task while traveling the world, she searches for any remains of her family.*

## Appearance

Lieselotte is a pale-skinned little girl of ten years old with bright orange eyes that look or glow red. Depending on the situation. She has short, boyish-cut hair of white worn with a big black frilled headband with a long red ribbon tied on each side of her head. Her upper eyelid appears to be pale grey; a trait shared with Zenia.

She wears a frilly black and white dress reminiscent of a maid uniform. The top has loose material resembling a shawl and a red ribbon resting a the frilly white collar. On top of her dress is a white section resembling a mini-dress with a four-petal tutu skirt. The skirt of her dress is puffed and sticks up. To accent her outfit she wears black boots with thick platform, to make her taller than she actually is.

### Personality

Lieselotte is a young girl who came from a loving family. She worshiped her older sister and was very happy until an accident changed everything. To deal with the trauma, she sealed away all memories related to her past and rid of her emotions. Deep down, Lieselotte is really just a sad little girl and to deal with her feelings of loneliness she carries her special doll, named after her sister Elfriede, with her.

Lieselotte is regarded for being a very creepy girl. She harms or kills with little to no remorse and will easily make threats against others if they displease her. She also takes great joy in watching others suffer, whether it be due to pain or just from bad feelings and will openly mock them. She also doesn't seem to care for her own well-being.

However, as unfriendly as she may be, if someone is kind to Lieselotte, then chances are she may return their kindness - even if it may not seem like much or is nothing more than a little smile. These people include Heart Aino and eventually her long lost sister, Zenia Valov.

At one point, after spending time with Heart, Saki and Zenia at an amusement park, she ponders Heart's words of being happy. When she's alone later, she sadly laments that she's done horrible things and wonders if she truly deserves to be happy. This implies that with new founded happiness, she has found a sense of guilt and remorse to an extent.
