Nine is a witch and one of the Six Heroes. She passed down her knowledge of magic to mankind during the Dark War. During the Dark War, she journeyed alongside Bloodedge and later created the Nox Nyctores in order to help humans fight against the Black Beast. After the war, she married Jubei and started a family with him, giving birth to Kokonoe. Unfortunately, she discovered what Terumi's future plans were, for which he supposedly killed her. In truth, Nine survived and fell into the Boundary, where she learned the truth of the world. Enraged at being subject to the whims of the Origin within the Amaterasu Unit, Nine began to plot the destruction of the Amaterasu Unit and the recreation of the world with an artificial 'god' in Amaterasu's place, where the world would not loop due to the desires of any one being. To this end, she allows Izanami to manipulate her, disguising herself as the enigmatic Phantom. In Central Fiction, Nine returns as a shadow of her true self, filled with unquenchable rage and sorrow who cares only for Celica, and enact her plans. Though she desires to kill Ragna as she blames him for the world's state due to the Master Unit reversing time to try and save him, she is later defeated by him after an intense fight. After recognizing Ragna's potential to change the way of the world, Nine makes peace with her husband and daughter and buys the protagonists time to figure out a way to stop Izanami by freezing time around her temporarily, before fading away. Nine does not possess a drive, which makes her exceedingly strong, and instead relies on her mastery of magic in combat. In-game, this manifests as a trait called The Abyss Diver, which activates a spell stored in her Active Slot.

Prior to her descent into madness as Phantom, Konoe was a person who liked to do things her own way, a trait shared by her daughter. She is a kind-hearted individual who cares about her friends, especially her younger sister Celica. However, she was not easy on Kazuma. Although she seems to have a mature and serious personality, she can be somewhat impulsive and violent when angered, as shown when she attempted to use a fire spell on Bloodedge for annoying her. She was this way even with her lover, JΕ«bei, before falling in love with him as well as rash, headstrong and independent.

Before having her daughter, Konoe had more time on her hands to delve into magical legerdemain. This was likely due to the fact that she was the best in her field of expertise. Unlike her daughter who was a whiz with science, Konoe had an ability, charm and prowess with the magical arts. Being the best in her field and from her expertise and leadership, it was easy to see why she responded to others the way she had. These would psychologically determine her to be right-brained and eccentric, if not at least eclectic. Konoe also displays a poor sense of direction similar to her sister, seen when they walk together in the wrong direction during the search for their father.

As Phantom, however, all of her personality has seemingly vanished. She no longer speaks nor has any signs of any emotions whatsoever; becoming an empty shell in comparison to what she was before. While as Phantom, she attacks anyone who is deemed as the Emperor’s foe, going so far to attack Trinity Glassfille, one of her closest comrades, and her lover JΕ«bei and even punishing her own daughter Kokonoe for using Celica. When her restrictions as Phantom are released, Nine retains her same arrogant tone and confidence in her abilities; however, she no longer has concern for the well-being of her former comrades and family. Despite this, she still retains her memories, taunting JΕ«bei about their former relationship before engaging him in battle.


  • So? What are you going to show me next? Don't tell me you're already done... You've got some nerve, copying me.

  • I don't disagree with your choices... I just simply cannot forgive you for what you've done, Kokonoe.

  • Celica. I promise you, I will save you... no matter what I must do to accomplish that, I will.
