Physical Appearance:
Nerezza has straight, layered coal-black hair that reaches mid-back, with uneven bangs that frame her face. She has a pale, almost sickly skin tone and cold, grey eyes. Her build is slim and fairly athletic, and she stands at 5’7” and weighs approximately 135 pounds.
Outfit/Costume:
She sports a jacket-like top that is left open as it reaches her stomach, revealing a small portion of skin, including her belly button. The jacket is dark grey in the chest area and black everywhere else, with a dark purple lining along the bottom. The neckline of the jacket is reminiscent of a turtleneck, and the jacket’s zipper is visible at the top. Right below her chest, on top of her jacket is a silver plate that has wing-like designs on the side, and a heart-shape underneath. She also has on a dark grey, tight skirt that ends about one-fourth the way down her thighs. Around her hips is also a thick, dark gray belt with a brown, X-shaped buckle. Nerezza wears black and dark grey, knee-length combat boots. On her shoulders are two, metal shoulder guards with three, black, interconnected circles etched onto each. She also wears black fingerless gloves that reach half-way up her upper arms, with three grey armbands around the gloves on her right forearm. Her outfit is completed with a knee-length, violet cape.
Streetwear:
N/A
Powers:
- Darkness/Shadow Manipulation;; As the name suggests, this ability allows Nerezza to control and create shadows and dark energy to her will. She can form shadows or the dark energy into different shapes, such as barriers or ropes, and turn them into blast and beam attacks.
- Dark/Shadow Magic;; This allows her to cast spells, although the time spent for each cast depends on the strength of the spell. Sometimes, she may also need a medium for the spell, or certain ingredients.
- Telepathy;; With this ability, Nerezza can read minds and mentally communicate with others, among other things.
Skills/Abilities:
- Soul Tapping;; Nerezza’s is the host of two other spirits (or beings) other than her own, the Diamond Dragon and Azzeren. With the manifestation of these two beings, Nerezza can harness their separate powers and integrate them into their own for a power increase at the cost of more stamina. Further, she can also, of her own volition or not, summon the two other beings and take on their forms as a last resort. After these transformations run out, however, she will not be able to use any of her powers for a while in order to recuperate.
- The Diamond Dragon;; The Diamond Dragon was essentially the first king of Kinsei (literally a dragon) and at the time of death, put his essence into the body of a member of the noble family, in case Kinsei was in danger. Since then, the Diamond Dragon's essence and power has been transferred from noble to noble throughout the generations. Eventually, Nerezza was born on Kinsei, with the name Kurai Hisakata, into the noble family, and was given the Diamond Dragon essence.
- Azzeren;; In response to, or as a side-effect of the different energies and powers she has been introduced to along her travels (on top of her original Kinseinian abilities and the Diamond Dragon’s power), a second being manifested within her, perhaps as a way for her body to balance the completely “holy” alignment of the Diamond Dragon. This entity calls itself Azzeren, and is entirely evil in nature. Her physical manifestation (when she takes over Nerezza’s body) looks almost exactly like Nerezza except for her blood-red eyes and sharper canine teeth and nails. Azzeren most closely resembles a demon or devil in terms of characteristics. She almost always wears a flowing crimson dress with thin straps and a matching collar around her neck. Around her arms are matching, cut-off sleeves that widen as they near her wrists. She also wears three silver bangles one both her wrists. Azzeren’s powers mirror Nerezza’s, although the energy she controls is deep crimson.
- The Diamond Dragon;; The Diamond Dragon was essentially the first king of Kinsei (literally a dragon) and at the time of death, put his essence into the body of a member of the noble family, in case Kinsei was in danger. Since then, the Diamond Dragon's essence and power has been transferred from noble to noble throughout the generations. Eventually, Nerezza was born on Kinsei, with the name Kurai Hisakata, into the noble family, and was given the Diamond Dragon essence.
- Martial Artist;; In addition to her superhuman abilities, Nerezza is also accomplished in hand-to-hand combat and weapon wielding, specifically bladed weapons and staffs.
Weaknesses:
- Her shadow and darkness manipulation powers are weaker during the day.
- It's very difficult to summon the Diamond Dragon because it tires her out quickly. Because of this, she only summons it in critical situations. Once she reverts back into her normal form, she will not be able to use any of her powers for a while in order to recharge. Incorporating the Diamond Dragon energy into her attacks also drains her powers faster.
- If Nerezza’s negative emotions reach a peak, it may lead to a loss of control of her powers, or worse, the release of Azzeren. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance she keep her emotions in check.
Personality:
Nerezza is a very mysterious and reserved person. If she doesn't find someone deserving of her utmost respect and trust, she will not reveal the slightest information about herself to them. Because of this, she has little friends, and although she doesn't show it, she treasures these few beings very much. She doesn't talk much, and always has a stoic, unchanging, and even cold personality. Nerezza is never one to judge or jump to conclusions, and always make sure she sees situations from all the different viewpoints (if she can), instead of just which side she believes is right. She also has a bad habit of suppressing her emotions. Because of this, she tends to do what might be the greatest good for the greatest number, instead of what her heart tells her. Despite what she feels is right, and where her personal thoughts lie, she almost always acts without bias if the outcome is, from what she has calculated, the best. Nerezza refuses to let emotional ties get the best of her, an attribute she has yet to learn is bad for her. However, she does have morals and ethics, which she goes by almost religiously. The Shadow Queen is also very analytical and observant, whether it be during a battle or about other people.

History:
Nerezza was born with the name 'Kurai Hisakata' on Kinsei, into the royal family. On Kinsei, part of the essence of the deity named the Diamond Dragon lives inside the body of a member of the royal family until his or her death. When that happens, the essence or soul simply goes into the body of another member of royalty. The Diamond Dragon passed down his essence through the ages as a gift to his people, so that it may be used to protect themselves in case anything disastrous should happen. However, this power may also be corrupted and used for evil means.
At a young age, Nerezza (still known as 'Kurai' at the time) was sent to live in a Dojo, where she trained and learned how to fight, so as to protect herself if anything should happen (at this time, she was still unaware of the Diamond Dragon). However, as the Diamond Dragon predicted, disaster struck Kinsei in the form of a war. The Margovians, an anthromorphic species from another planet, caught wind of this incredible power and sought it for themselves. Although the Margovians were unaware the power was within a young child, the High Priest of Kinsei did not wish to take chances; he sent the young Nerezza away under the protection of an esteemed and powerful mage, but not before erasing the young princess' memories to protect her.
The mage, Eclipse, was not of Kinseinian origin, but the High Priest trusted the man with all his heart and soul. Eclipse brought Nerezza to Corzof, and planet not too far, and not too close from Kinsei. There, Eclipse continued training Nerezza and became like a father towards her. At the age of 10, seven years ago, she traveled to earth with him on an errand.
It was there an accident involving the original five Titans caused his death. The Malign Brotherhood then persuaded her that the Titans killed him, causing her to join them to seek revenge, her train of thought clouded by hatred and evil. On a mission to the Galactic Space Station, she encountered the Original Three members of the Titans Alpha Team. It was there all the false and lies she had been fed by the Malign Brotherhood seniors were cleared, and where she gained three new friends.
A few months later, she found that she had a she-devil dwelling inside her by the name of Azzeren. Consumed by anger, the demoness with the power over crimson darkness took over, and that was how it was for the past three months.
After being awakened by her master, and going through an arduous journey, she finally confronted the She-Devil. As she was on the verge of losing, she realized that the Diamond Dragon, the essence that was able to defeat the Cerise Mistress, was within her all along, only hidden. Thus, using a binding spell known as "Charme De Lier," she bound Azzeren's soul to her own, allowing her to use Azzeren's power as somewhat of a reserve power source. This also no longer gives Azzeren as much control over Nerezza, because since the charm bound the two, if one dies, so does the other.
