Diodora

Personality:

Diodora is a kind and cheerful child, described by Ironside as honest and kind like his mother. He greatly underestimates himself due to his illness, considering himself weak and useless, but he is determined to save his loved ones. He is also proud, as he became very angry with Turret for interfering in his fight against Anne.

After almost being killed by Rothes, consumed by despair and unleashing his Magical Power, Diodora's personality takes a dark turn. While he retains his cheerful nature, he no longer feels any emotional attachment, showing no remorse for having murdered his former comrades. He even goes so far as to say that he no longer cares about his father and that he can live perfectly well alone.

Physical appearance:

Diodora is a boy with a feminine face, long platinum blonde hair, very pale skin, and dark purple eyes.

History:

Diodora was born shortly after Ironside left Camelot. However, as a baby, she suffered a fatal illness due to the poisoning her mother suffered during pregnancy from the venom generated by the Demon King during the new Holy War.

Although his mother died, Ironside managed to save Diodora by taking him to the new Camelot, where he was able to grow up healthy. Ironside repeatedly instructed him not to leave Camelot to preserve his health.

Plot:

Wolnack Arch

When Ironside returns home singing a song, Diodora runs to greet him. The boy looks sick from running, but claims he'll be fine as long as he's in Camelot. When the boy asks if he defeated the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Ironside swears to protect him.

Diodora then plays with a tiger-like creature while Ironside drinks, recalling how he brought Diodora to Camelot as a baby along with his dead mother. Diora asks if he will return to Britannia after tea, to which Ironside confirms that he has another mission and warns Diodora not to go to such a dangerous place. Diodora says he understands and asks him to take a break after drinking.

Mortlach was training Diodora with swords, surprised by his nephew's progress and asking if he was training alone in secret. Diodora asks him not to tell his father so as not to worry him, to which Mortlach says that Ironside will end up scolding him. Diodora then asks him to continue telling his story, and Mortlach tells him about when he and his sister were punished by their father for running away drinking and gambling, warning the boy not to do the same. Diodora asks him why his father keeps telling him lies about Britannia being nothing but a world full of dangers, further fueling his curiosity. Mortlach tells him that he understands how he feels, but that his brother-in-law does not lie and that he is sure that he loves him from the bottom of his heart.

When a bird arrives to inform Mortlach of a mission from King Arthur, he leaves, leaving Diodora in charge of Turret and Rothes.

Annwfyn Gladiator Festival Arch

Diodora appears participating in the Annwfyn Gladiator Festival hidden under armor. As the pitched battle begins, Diodora attacks Percival, claiming that he has nothing personal against him and only wants to win, but is easily overcome by the stabs of his sword, created by Hope. Percival recognizes his swordsmanship and his identity is revealed when Turret and Rothes come to his aid, calling out his name.

As Turret and Rothes lead Percival away, Diodora recalls that he entered the festival to return his father to normal, after Arthur told him that Ironside had forgotten him because his obsession with the Four Knights of the Apocalypse had wrecked his mind. After reaching the final 16, Diodora faces Anghalhad in the third match. After a fierce swordplay, Diodora manages to injure her, telling her to give up as he no longer wants to hurt a woman. However, Anghalhad states that it is ridiculous to give up due to such an injury, revealing that he managed to cut his helmet in half. Anghalhad tells Diodora that he is talented, but has never had to fight a battle risking his life due to being raised with care. Diodora denies that she knows anything about him, which Anghalhad acknowledges, just as he knows nothing about how many had to suffer for his well-being. Diodora viciously attacks with his Thousand Cross, but Anghalhad overwhelms him with his Mirage Stinger. As the battle continues, Anghalhad asks if Ironside is his father and if he knows anything about the boy who went down a sad path because of him; he confirms the former but denies knowing anything about the latter. Overpowering him again, Anghalhad asks why he is in Annwfun when he had everything including a loving father and a privileged upbringing. Diodora refuses to answer, thus activating his Interrogator power which crushes him to the ground. Diodora then says that he is not privileged.

not at all, since despite being the son of Ironside he has no power, magic or health, being a useless human who only survives thanks to his father and Camelot, and now his beloved father has forgotten about him because of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse and wants to give him back those memories.

Diodora watches as Turret sends his Salvahn to attack Anghalhad, but he fails to stop him or force Anghalhad to stop fighting before he is severely wounded. When Percival intervenes to save Anghalhad and Diodora is declared the victor, he begs for forgiveness. However, Percival says he will forgive him.

After the fight, Turret responds to Diodora's complaints about his interference in the fight, stating that his father would never accept such a cowardly action, but Turret tells him that he did it for him and that he must win at any cost to save him. Though Diodora claims he went too far, Turret reminds him of Ironside's words: "If you face an enemy, you must tear out its fangs and crush its soul." Turret then tells him to rest while they await Rothes' fight.

During the intermission before the second round, Diodora worries about Turret's injuries from his fight and offers to bring him food. When Rothes joins him, Diodora tells him that he knows Turret has long despised him, and that now, without his father and uncle, he only has Rothes, who was always like an older brother to him. However, once they are alone, Rothes attempts to kill him by suffocating him with tears in his eyes. As he seemingly dies, Diodora realizes that he has lost his father, his uncle, and that his only friend was never a friend at all.

Despite being presumed dead, Diodora suddenly stands up and the wounds on his neck are transferred to Rothes, who dies immediately and a strange energy is absorbed from his body by Diodora.

When Turret finds Rothes's corpse, Diodora states that Rothes died with the same bewildered expression.

When Turret finds Rothes's corpse, Diodora claims Rothes died with the same bewildered expression and asks if he will oppose him as well. Turret lashes out with his whip, intending to kill him, but then all the wounds are transferred to his own body. Diodora delights in the fact that his magic has awakened, a power that protects him from anyone who wants to harm him, claiming it is a divine gift for him, a sad and betrayed child, thrown into a sea of despair. He then tried to absorb Turret's energy, but was surprised to find it didn't work, realizing it only worked if he was dead. Diodora then uses Rothes's Guardian to open a portal to Purgatory that kills Turret with miasma, allowing him to absorb his magic, providing him with a thrilling sensation. Diodora thanks his dead companions for their despair and says he doesn't even care about his father anymore because in the end he can survive alone.

End of the plot.

Skills/Equipment

Under her uncle's tutelage, Diodora practices fencing. She has proven to be an expert in swordsmanship, and Mortlach himself praises her, stating that her skills are improving. Two years later, her abilities allow her to fight on par with Anghalhad, although she is surpassed by her lack of real combat experience.

Techniques

Thousand Cross 「サウザンド・クロス, Sauzando Kurosu」: An extremely fast sword technique learned from Mortlach. However, this appears to be an inferior version, as instead of rapidly cutting a target from all sides leaving afterimages, Diodora simply performs a burst of sword strikes at a slower speed. Unknown Magical Power: After nearly being killed by Rothes, Diodora unlocked the ability to reflect damage back onto the attacker, keeping him unharmed even if the attack is fatal. If he manages to kill the attacker, he can obtain their Magical Power. Gatekeeper 「, Gētokīpā」: A power capable of opening breaches with Purgatory and providing resistance to its extreme conditions. Diodora absorbed this Power after killing Rothes. 門番 Love is mine. Invocation 「, Invokēshon」: A power that allows the user to summon creatures, specifically beasts from Purgatory summoned by the Guardian, to carry out their orders. Diodora absorbed this power after killing Torreta. 調伏
