Nephilia
About this character
A magical girl resembling the Grim Reaper or a shinigami. She carries around a scythe, which she trained under another magical girl in order to learn how to use effectively. Her magic allows her to replay a dead person's last words by touching their corpse. The longer she touches the corpse, the further back she can go through their dialogue. Along with Love Me Ren-Ren, she is one of the magical girls Agri brings with her to Sataborn's island with the goal of receiving his inheritance. Nephilia, Ren-Ren and Agri get along very well, growing to view one another as family over the course of Breakdown. Nephilia isn't good at communicating in magical girl form, often mumbling to the point of unintelligibility and chuckling to herself whenever something bad happens. [Spoiler] In the past, the Magical Kingdom had sent Nephilia to conduct autopsies on the victims of Keek's Magical Girl Raising Project. Using the knowledge she gains from their last words, she is able to learn that Pechka and Nokko sacrificed themselves to save Clantail. She uses this knowledge to her advantage in order to cause a rift between Clantail and Ragi. [/Spoiler] Nephilia is well-versed in law, and helps draft a contract between Agri and Navi to ensure that neither of them backstab each other to get their hands on the inheritance. [Spoiler] As a child, Nephilia was fascinated by the concept of "the wolf" in fairy-tales such-as Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs, wondering if all of those wolves were the same individual. As a result, Nephilia came to love people who are "nasty, but not too nasty." [/Spoiler] [Spoiler] Having somehow been pierced by one of Ren-Ren's arrows, Nephilia ends the story still in love with the deceased Ren-Ren. Navi, too, is tricked into being pierced by an arrow, and he likewise ends the story in love with Nephilia as a result. [/Spoiler]
