"That man, that Ichabod Crane... is a good example of us. He knows what is right and he corrected my way of error. The thing is, I wronged him. He might be stubborn, imperfect, and well... sometimes rather annoying, but he is far from unpleasant and far from corruptible. After all, Ichabod made the right choice and stopped himself from being corrupted like me, leaving his dreadful past behind. What goes on in his head, I'm not always understand, but what goes on in his heart never lets us down. Corbin, you send the hope and future of us upon him. Washington, your Bible is in the hands of a perfect owner... in the hands of this certain man... What a beautiful, perfect soul."
— Selina Strawberry talking about Ichabod Crane
In a dystopian world where lives doesn't matter, Eugen and La Folia were one of the few human beings that never abandoned before their humanity and remained pure
Opposed to what you would think, being pure of heart doesn't mean being a perfect, flawless hero. Basically, the Pure of Heart is the direct opposite of the Complete Monsters (a villain who is the most evil and depraved, without being redeemed). It means that they want to make the world better, or at least keep it from getting any worse. Not for themselves, but for everyone that lives in it. A Pure of Heart's heroic deeds are as natural as living and breathing; he or she is also identifiable through these traits:
Pleasant: The character is basically nice and reasonable with any other character, and tries to get along with anyone who interacts with him, even if they are hostile to him.
Selfless: They think about others before themselves, and wouldn't hesitate to risk their lives to save others, sometimes even people they don't know.
Incorruptible: No matter how many times they are tempted, or how much pains they go through, a pure heart doesn't surrender to his inner demons, like anger.
Forgiving: They give their enemies chances and allow them to redeem themselves. Sometimes, they even save their enemies after being their victims (Like Goku).
Reluctant to kill: Some never kill any foe, no matter how cruel they are (Like Batman). Yet some do, though only in self defense (or in an equitable fight), in defense of the innocent who cannot protect themselves, in last resort, and with remorse. Heroes who have fun killing cannot be labelled pure of hearts, if they kill more than one person at least in a limited number.
Acts: A true hero shows his courage through actions, such as saving lives, or at least making life much easier for people in need. And most importantly, they expect no reward, and that goes for certain greedy heroes who can show their nice side.
Naïve: Sometimes, the hero just can't grasp unto most concepts, such as technology, money, or intercourse. Mostly, this is why they aren't interested in power or greed. Heroes that have this trait often are children or grow up in a primitive society.
Older pure of heart characters started off as pure of heart (like Shido Itsuka, Sister Mary Eunice and Sephiria Arks KnightWalker), while in newer times, characters become pure of heart during character development (like Azul Jissele, Katarina Couteau and Ichabod Crane). That's why some categories (like Antiheroes and On & Off heroes, with FEW exceptions like Katarina Couteau) do not fit this one. It is also known as "Incorruptible Pure Pureness".
Important Note: For future reference the following categories are by and large not compatible with Pure of heart, and should be remembered before listing a character as this: Heroic Sociopaths, Sadistic Heroes, Heroic Murderer, Heroic Assassins, Morally Ambiguous. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule but they are exactly that: exceptions. If a character fits any of these, think twice before listing them as Pure of heart because chances are they don't fit it.
This wiki currently recognizes four different overarching standards for a hero's morality.
The Pure of heart: Those who are above petty selfish behaviors and act entirely for the sake of others and are incorruptible in their pursuits.
Outright Heroes: The standard hero model, not incorruptible and possibly even less than heroic on occasion but over all virtuous and true.
Good-Hearted Bastards: Those who may appear brash, selfish or uncaring but are beneath the surface caring and well-intentioned heroes.
Heroic Sociopaths: Those with no conscience or moral center incapable of functioning on a moral level but whom still assist the forces of good either for practical reasons or as a circumstance of story.
We of course recognize several more types there in that may overlap but each of the above sum up overarching character and should not be entered lightly. Please note by it's nature no one can recover from being a sociopath if they can, they were never sociopaths in the first place. And while Pure of heart can be former villains they can not fall back into said habits willingly as by nature once Pure of heart a hero is incorruptible.
Despite being an 18+ rated story full of uncaring and inhuman monsters with no love and empathy at all, there are still many pure-hearted heroes in the Sword of Gods storyline who were the polar opposite of those villains, being brave, pleasant, peaceful, selfless, honest, loving, protective and benevolent. They are anything but evil.

La Nueva Familia de Arzonia & Catholic Rebels[]
"The night is the darkest before dawn, and I promise you... The dawn is coming."
Being a blood-thirsty vigilante does not mean falling into a corruptible state, and Maria Arzonia is an example of this. Being an illegitimate child suffering abuse from her three brothers loyal to Mafusa Gang, Maria hated their family's so-called "family business" - arson and bombing - to her three brother's dismay. The only family in her eyes was her mother, her godmother (Vento of the Front) as well as her childhood friend, Mikan Tsumiki, before Mikan fell into despair. Maria was shocked by the news of Mikan falling into despair but still being friendly to her, hoping to find security from her and making Mikan back to her pleasant and caring personality. After a huge amount of job given by a disguised Michael Langdon came in front of the door of Arzonia Family, the three brothers were tempted, but Maria was not interested in this and only wished to live a peaceful life... which was hard for her to come true. After one of the three brothers had died, the rest of two tried to force Maria into burning the properties belonged to the entire Peace Foundation or being a streetwalker. Being a self-honored girl, Maria had to accept the offer and tried to make her brothers pleased and admire her even if she knew the consequences will be bad. However, her self guilty-conscience after accidentally killing a holy knight drove her to leave her brother and the criminal life of being a Mafusa Gangster. However, she was unfortunately being caught and suffered from abuse, eventually snapped and burned her abusive brothers alive... before praying to Virgin Mary to take the blame on herself, not to others. Then, trying to protect the world, she became a vengeful vigilante and saved hundreds of children from Johan Liebert's minions, but eventually she was attacked by Michael Langdon and suffered from a serious disfigurement, eventually ending up becoming a Cyborg. However, the memories of her good side never died out and eventually broke free from Eckidina's control. Seeing herself ended up becoming a ruthless killer and madwoman, Maria eventually sacrificed herself to stop Aleister Crowley's plan of killing Acqua of the Back, the man who tried to capture her, and became a pure-hearted spirit to the higher existence. She later helped Katarina going through Michael Langdon's illusion despite difficulties, while willingly to take blame for Eugen's death since Maria herself was once a Mafusa Gang member. After her heroic sacrifice, Maria was held as a divine figure by a group of Catholic Rebels who rebelled against Michael Langdon's rule over the Church. In Firenza Junior, Maria later revived as a Holy Guide Spirit like Sister Mary Eunice before her. Although still having her bad temper remained as a result of her traumatic childhood, Maria now turned much better and much more matured. She valued kindness and bond before anything else, becoming a motherly and sisterly figure to her own comrades. Under her care, all those fragile Catholic Rebel factions united together under a single faction, La Nueva Familia de Arzonia, where Maria started a new family for herself as arguably the last living member of the original Arzonia Family. Valuing love as family and believed humanity are never beyond redemption, Maria raised her rebellion against those false hypocrites and corrupt officials who lies to innocent public. Even though she was later betrayed by Carl Robinson, whose parents was killed by her under the coerce of the Arzonia Brothers, Maria still believed that Carl could be saved and showed him both remorse and affection, struggling herself to get Carl out of Melancholia's corruption, so that he can gain his redemption. Using her actions, Maria showed Carl that the world also has its kind side aside from its cruel side. Maria also admitted to Carl that if she never met Vento of the Front, who showed affection and love to a poor girl like her, she'll become as cruel as Aki Honda as well. Maria's actions and affections not only defrosted Carl's frosty nature and made him into a better person, but also made lost souls like Magilou, Matt Butcher, Abel Nightroad, Esther Blanchett, Adam Frankenstein and Eva Frankenstein to be together in somewhere like family, where everyone respect and love each other.

"I met him, years ago in Rome. I first saw him as a kind, sweet and benevolent figure and therefore I endorsed him as the Pope. However, when he showed himself right on the Holy Seat, I felt I was looking at a stranger whenever I looked at him, looking at his eyes. His eyes were no longer green. Now, they were inhumanely red, showing a color of blood and fire. There was nothing left in him; no reason, no conscience, no understanding; and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong His face was once warm and smiling like white roses, but now it's become cold, menacing and malicious like thorns. I spent three days trying to reach him but then I decided that I needed to overthrow him when because I realized that what was living behind Michael's eyes was purely and simply... evil."

Being one of the only sane people in Fallen Roman Catholic Church, Sforza had noticed Michael Langdon's dark nature before his ascension and took three days to prove to herself that Michael was an embodiment of evil itself. She fell into the brainwashing of Aleister Crowley once she was about to persuade her minions to expose the truth. However, thanks to the Water of Life, Sforza regained her free will (as well as the torturous feelings from a strange sickness caused by infection of Croatoan that haunted her in her whole life) and joined the Russian Resistance led by Patriarch Krans.

Unable to fix the broken bond between Carl and Esther, Sforza escorted a broken Esther back to Spain, but when Matt Butcher was trapped by a berserk Carl who saw everyone as guilty, Sforza immediately returned to Matt, proving Matt's innocence and stopping Carl's bloodlust before overpowering Carl just as the Byzantine Parang took over him, but she did not kill Carl since she knew he had just lost his ways. Later, during the final battle against FOLIE after the death of Melancholia, Sforza helped Carl and Matt to buy Acqua and Aureolus some time for them to find the Rogues before heading towards Godom Empire, hiding in the dark and saved Katarina several times during Godom's invasion towards Japan and the dark actions of Leohart's Cult, who was loyal to Leohart the Prince of Hell. During the battle against the Ultimate Despair, Sforza found out the plan that Junko Enoshima and Eckidina KnightWalker planned on Yoshino, but she never made it to tell Katarina. After the death of Terra of the Left, Katarina and her friends were attacked by Michael, but Sforza sacrificed herself selflessly to from the blood-boiling dark magic to save Kyouko Kirigiri from the attack.

A long time after her death, Pietro Yogdis, who became the new Pope after Michael's demise, canonized Sforza for her selfless devotions and reject of corruption. Sforza was a woman with great strength in her mind. She helped others all the while enduring the pain caused by her disease that shall have no cure at all, but that was the reason that she would be remembered by remaining humanity after the final destruction of Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant.
"It only needs a breath of fire that can purge the evil. Maria Arzonia is a hero. She is a lighthouse amongst the dark mist and shadows that surrounded us. In this savage world filled with nothing but despair, we cannot lose hope to bring peace and end this war. This girl tells us, not with her words, but with her actions, that you need to do what you should have done in this war, or more and more people will get hurt. We cannot tolerate the Mafusa Gang anymore. We cannot tolerate the KnightWalkers anymore! This war needs to end... and now, ladies and gentlemen, I announce the foundation of the Catholic Rebels in the name of Ms. Arzonia!"

In the prophecy, Matt would assist the Witnesses and destroy almost 1,000 demons, but this reincarnation suffered a horrid fate when his real parents were killed by the sadistic vampire matriarch, Sascha Vykos, and her Sabbath Clan. He later gained the sword known as Blade of Karma (in his parents' collection) which would severely punish its wielders if they had any evil or selfish thoughts, and therefore, Matt made this blade as something that would keep him away from crimes. Like his best friend, Matt was later found and raised by Anglican Church in his most needed time, and during this time, he saw human's most vile and devious side of their nature when the KnightWalker Family and was determined to save them before finding his lost memory. Like Ichabod Crane, Matt was a caring man who valued duty, family, friends and needs of the many far superior than the needs of himself. He would be serious in many fights despite his own sense of humor and comical moments when he was casual. After Michael Langdon took over the Catholic Church, Matt was angry and participate the foundation of Catholic Rebels. He vowed to fight for greater goods throughout his entire life, especially after he heard about the sacrifice of Maria Arzonia, being one of the first heroes who were inspired by Maria's courage and joined forces to defeat KnightWalkers selflessly. Matt later fell in love with Maria who returned as a spirit of paradise and would try to protect her despite Maria's indifference upon him, and the two soon set out to save Carl Robinson, Matt's best friend, from the abyss of chaos and darkness. In an attempt to save Carl and Maria from FOLIE, a nigh-unstoppable sea monster created by Melancholia, Matt sacrificed himself to destroy FOLIE. Fortunately, Matt was eventually revived and joined forces against evil factions like Manufacturing Progressive Sciences willingly. After World War III, Matt and Maria returned back to Sleepy Hollow in order to apprehend Michael, and they joined Team Witness to start a new stage of war against the sadistic and twisted United Kingdom of America. Valuing friends, family and honor above all else, Matt would eventually mature himself by self restraining and one day, he would even carry on the mantle of First Witness himself and prevent forces from Hell to return with no regrets.

I believe that we can accept this ending. From now on, I declare that all fighting will cease. I hope for everyone to agree with this decision, and will be recorded for a future peaceful world to see."
As strange it may sound, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church was a 13-year-old child, whose name was Krans Romа́n Tsarskiy, the Patriarch of Russia.

"A country born with tyranny shall have no future. An empire's rule of slaughter shall become its downfall!"
Despite not a skilled fighter compared to her second sister or a wise adviser like her eldest sister, Princess Villian Windsor is perhaps one of the most benevolent female pacifist characters in Saga AA. She is like a female counterpart of Patriarch Krans, who had participated the English Civil War to stop the rampage of her sister, Carissa. Many people who supports Carissa considered the youngest princess was too weak, but Villian was strong in heart. In order to protect Carl Robinson, who was later revealed to be her cousin, Villian joined the fight against a guard monster underneath the subway station, helping her comrades to reach the Buckingham Palace. She later shows more courage in Firenza Junior spinoff when she joined La Nueva Familia de Arzonia and helped the aforementioned Maria Arzonia to take back the Catholic Church, trying to save her sister from Michael's evil mind control once she knew about his devious true nature. During Melancholia's actions to stir darkness inside London, Villian was put on a bounty by Melancholia, who threatened the London citizens to capture people including her so that this deadly Firenza Blood rampage would come to an end. After Patriarch Krans sacrificed himself in order to bleed his enchanted blood, the key to create a cure to Firenza Infection, Villian risked her life to send the blood sample to Maria and Poison Ivy to create the cure. During the chaos, Villian had ordered soldiers not to kill any ordinary citizens even if they had taken Melancholia's cue. After Sumireko Hanabusa discovered the presence of the Star of Bethlehem, the flying fortress of Fiamma of the Right, Villian helped the Knight Leader to buy time for Maria to infiltrate the fortress. Even when the citizens tried to capture her alive, Villian showed protective attitude towards them and protected them from a group of Mafusa Gang remnants who tried to slaughter all people presented in order to gain Melancholia's bounty for themselves. While facing Terra of the Left and his golem, Villian showed no fear and fought Terra, despite her disadvantage against his power. Villian was the first one who saw through the downfall of the KnightWalker Family's reign as a fate to every reigns of tyranny and slaughter throughout history, and she would sacrifice herself to bring peace and end the war, like Patriarch Krans did. After the defeat of Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant, Villian becomes the new Queen of the United Kingdom and joined the Human Reformations, being one of the people who earned her happy ending on Earth. Villian represents benevolence as a future ruler despite her young age. Instead of running and crying like a coward, Villian had overcame her fear several times and became a warrior as well. That is why Maria trusted her so much that she allowed Villian to help her as the temporary Second Corazon when she is outside for duty.

She then protected Abel from Neo Inquisition's army by using all of the traps and tools to attack them, being the most active one in the entire operation. During Esther's confrontation with Michael, Esther had finally discovered his true nature and cut their ties, before protecting Maria, Matt, Carl and others to escape with the Grand Grimoire, while she herself was killed by other Langdon Orphans and crushed by a collapsed church, finally redeemed herself from all of her sins and earned everyone's respect. Before her death of sacrifice, Esther put trust on Maria and gave the future of the Kingdom of Spain to Maria, showing that how brave Esther would be if she doubted Michael's nature and investigate the truth behind her mother's death much earlier. However, for Esther, her redemption was so late that it could only be related to her own sacrifice...
"I want friends... like me."
Being the only person that can calm the Frankenstein's Monster who fell in love with her down, the Bride of Frankenstein (and later known as Eva Frankenstein) is the ferocious and baleful Adam Frankenstein's most helpful partner in actions, acting as the Blue Oni to Adam's Red Oni. Like Adam, Eva starts as an artificial homunculus created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein and fixed by Aerisi Kalinoth, who brought her to life. Like Adam, Eva was born with her own sense and starts as some creation that was almost like a blank sheet of paper without her own personality, but as she fought with Adam inside the world against the KnightWalker Family, Eva began to mature herself. She saw the horrible side of humanity due to the atrocities of the KnightWalker Family, and she even questioned herself about is it worthy to rescue human, as she and Adam encountered many ungrateful ones who never express thanks to their in time rescue, which was once a key catalyst to drove Adam into sorrow and hatred towards mankind when he was in the Land Without Color, the place where he and Eva was created. However, Eva had a change of heart when she saw Maria Arzonia and the Catholic Rebels fought against the evil, willingly to contribute themselves to save the world. Eva then joined Maria's cause after the construction of La Nueva Familia de Arzonia alongside Adam, acting as the Family's Diamante (Diamond) Army Agent to help people in need. She later gains her own human sense and became more capable in speaking skills, benefiting herself in the work of persuading other people under suffering to join Maria's stuff, while secretly plundered the corrupt officials and gave food and drinks to hungry refugees coming from all over the world. Eva was the key person to persuade Yuri Barnes join the Arzonia Family, via getting information about Melancholia's potential alliance with The Revelation of Qliphoth, and would always be there whenever her friends are in danger, as she stated herself that she wants friend like her. After the end of World War III, Eva and Adam willingly went to Sleepy Hollow with Maria in an attempt to save Carl Robinson, and she managed to make Carl regain his humanity and expelled him from the control of the Malice of Moloch, all the while trying to find a way to defeat the likes of Michael Langdon and Vizeran DeVir to stop their evil plans. Originally thought she won't be accepted by humanity since she was created out of dead, Eva later accepted the world and blended fully into human society, right after realizing what she lacked was friends who can understand her. Without Maria Arzonia as well as Eva's own hope, Eva will ended up just like another ferocious human hater who only saw humanity's dark side and went insane.

Gods of the Multi-Universe[]
"Light shall fall upon you all!"
There are too few words to describe the radiance, the magnificence, the inequitable glory of Liz, Goddess of Light and the founder of the righteous Reality Council. So wondrous is she to behold that one look can inspire tears, desire, jealousy, and love. Yet, beneath her flawless exterior resides a heart burdened with insecurity. In the past, Liz was the right hand of God, the creator of the Multi-Universe and ruled many universes in his place trying to bring peace while the decadent Triggers Hell was breaking havoc the entire existence under the orders of Lucifer and Devil. When the war between the Paradise and Triggers Hell ended by the hands of the Legendary Prime Abyssal Punisher, ExKrieg, she became the Goddess of Light and was designed as the Goddess of Hope, Light and Love, eventually became the only sign of Hope in the universe. Inattentive and hideous to look upon, her husband, Jasger, unknowingly leaves Liz feeling lonely and worthless. She finds consolation in the arms of other men such as Darth Hades, Leohart the Prince of Hell and Isaac Westcott who are the few men who stand out to be the most notable leaders and ignores their position as her enemy. At a wedding attended by all the Gods of the Multi-Universe, a golden apple appeared, inscribed with the words "to the fairest." Immediately, her mother Lira, and sister Mika quarreled over it, however, Liz ignored it and said beauty is not what describe a true woman but her will and determination to fight the walls of the life. For more than 500 quintillion years, Liz dedicated her entire life to form new life and creating stars to create light in the skies of planets without suns, bringing hope and wiping out the darkness of many universes and galaxies. Known as the most beautiful being in the Multi-Universe, Liz was target of several kidnap and was wanted by many kings, emperors and princes across the existence and often wanted her as their wife but she rejected their offer and continued her fight. When the the Cataclysmatic War break out, she refused to ignore the action of her former loves; the three Emperors of Balam Alliance and decided to fight alongside the Ratatoskr by crushing entire armies of the Dark Empires with just one finger and even destroying planets that were bases of the Balam Alliance. As the Goddess of Light, she was feared by the Balam Alliance and all Empires across the existence since she had power enough to wipe them out from existence without effort, even Isaac Westcott, the Emperor of DEM Empire, considered to kill her but she was immortal. The reason why the Sith Empire tried to destroy all light on the Multi-Universe was the motivated by Darth Hades, who wanted to kill her because of her scary power level, and eventually the Triggers Hell and DEM Empire supported them to help them to destroy Liz as well, who was their enemy Number 1 at that time. By destroying all light in the universe, Liz will be destroyed and disappear from existence but she keeps creating more light to help the living beings and not for her own sake. Now, a new war brews, but this one is between Heroes and Villains and not between for simply politicians or religious matters. While the battlefield is no place for the fairest of all, Liz recalls the destruction that the Dark Empires made upon the universe, destroying what she worked so hard to built for profit. Perhaps, this time, she will discover the beauty within. Liz represent beauty and the power of light that Illuminates the world covered by darkness and silence, creating life and love.
"Weaklings know the true value of power! Because they're the ones who need it!"
Neith is an ancient Goddess of Water and was adored by many races, including the Egypt. When time began, there was only endless black waters in the Multi-Universe. Yet, from water comes all life, and from this primordial force was born the first of Goddesses, Neith. As the waters continued to form the world and everything within it, Neith’s natural instinct to protect and nurture the people led her to champion the hunt. With meat she fed them and with hides she clothed them, but as the people she sought to protect grew old, or sick, or died on the battlefield, Neith’s compassion forced her to change her calling. With nimble fingers, the Goddess wove shrouds to shield the lost spirits of the dead on their journey to the underworld, leaving a loose thread she could trace as the ghosts ventured down the river. As time passed, more and more threads spread across the world, weaving an intricate pattern of fate that only Neith could see. Now, the war between the Ratatoskr and the Balam Alliance grows ever more fevered, and Neith can no longer sit idle. The threads of fate are fraying at the edges and she must once again pick up her bow and hunt, or watch the world return to the waters from whence it came. Neith was the first Goddess of the entire Multi-Universe and was loved by all living beings because of her lightly aura and her goodness that saved many races from the extinction. When the Triggers Hell invaded her home planet and enslaved her race, forcing her people to become livestock of demons and fallen angels, Neith vowed to avenge them and join the war knowing that no matter if you're neutral, the enemy will never let you pass so easily.

"What are you doing to my children, Nazi scum?!"
Coming from a Multi-Universe so far away, the brave goddess of Paradise, Nu Wa, is one of the many good-hearted gods created by the Creator of the Multi-Universe to rule and guide the living beings to the good path, teaching them to avoid the path of evil and war in order to prevent the evil spirits from Triggers Hell corrupting the children of the Supreme God. However, not all Gods created by the Supreme God were pure and righteous divine beings like Nu Wa and Liz, the Goddess of Light. When two warring Gods shattered the Multi-Universe Core, space and time dangerously shifted, and the First Armageddon was unleashed, leading to the destruction of more than 4,000 universes and the deaths of more than 900 sixtillion living beings. Firestorms, floods, and bloodthirsty monsters ravaged the Multi-Universe and stole the lives of more than can be counted. Knowing that other Gods were busy with their own agenda, Nu Wa, was the only goddess to put her hands in actions. In ages past, Nu Wa, Guardian of Heaven and Earth, hand-crafted all humans from clay according to her own image, she is the Goddess who created all humans using her own appearance, giving the divine appearance of the Gods to humans. They were her creations, her children, her responsibility. As the Multi-Universe shuddered and broke, and the skies turned black with ash, Nu Wa forged five mystic stones, one for each of the elemental forces of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal. With the power of these stones, she slayed all demons destroying the Multi-Universe with her own hands for more than 90,000 years and fixed to the broken World Pillar using her own lifespan, exchanging her immortality as a Goddess rather than leaving her children to die. Once she fixed the core, the Balance between Time and Space was restored, but the Multi-Universe was never the same. The stars cleared, but the many black holes were born. The galaxy were alive but many the Black Matter destroyed all life inside of it. Everything leaned, but the End was averted. In the years that followed, Nu Wa was considered as the Right-Hand of the Supreme God for her good deeds, becoming the vessel of the Paradise for many races. She ruled the Paradise with wisdom and ushered in an age of recovery and prosperity, for which she is adored and worshiped to this day. Yet, the skies grow dark once more and chaos threatens to engulf the land when the Balam Alliance was formed. When the DEM Empire formed their inhuman activities by killing all inferior races in Holocaust, Nu Wa, was sent to many planets to free the people imprisoned by DEM. Feared by Leohart the Prince of Hell for being able to control all Elements of Nature. Determined to prevent such calamity from repeating, this time, by the hands of the Dark Empires, Nu Wa has summoned the elemental stones once more and went to Prime Earth when the diabolic energy caused by B1-Killer Kampfdroide Unit-CM 130 forced her to go to that small planet to stop the insane robot scientist from causing death and pain upon innocent living beings like children and pregnant women. For she is the Guardian of Time and Space; all mankind are her creations, her children, her responsibility.
"I was created by the Devils to be a champion of Evil. To bring death... But I decided to follow my own way, my own path. I know their flaws, their weakness and cruelty. That's why they fear me. I'm different. Ara Astaroth, is a weak and jealous monster. To worship her is to worship her betrayal. To love her, guarantee your own destruction. To her, love is taken by force and not given from the heart. It's a tyranny of lies. I pity her and my brothers from Hell. For I know the true meaning of peace and love. But they, Triggers Hell and Astaroth... Never will."
Since from the ancient times, religions always considered devils to be the major evil force behind all evil of the world, corrupting humans to bring their souls to hell. But have you ever stopped for a second to think if demons are really entities made of true evil? They're so cruel and scary like Bibly told to us? Some of them are fallen angels, angels that were made of good but were corrupted by evil. The same works for Celica Arfonia, the first Pure-Blooded Devil woman to exist in the history of Hell. Celica is the twin-sister of the heinous Leohart the Prince of Hell, born as a monster made of evil, Celica broke her own chains and followed her own path of light, helping people that were enslaved by her brother by freeing them from their suffering and releasing them from slavery and pain, saving billions of lives. Celica then left Triggers Hell and created her own kingdom, where she ruled humans and aliens, a place where people respected each other and light. Celica created the magic trillion years ago and gave it to humans to create a better future where magic could help people. But the cruelty of organic life turned magic in a deadly too to kill, creating wars and destruction instead of peace. Feeling guilty for taking many lives, Celica exiled herself inside of a star for billion of years, where she developed her forces to continue fighting Triggers Hell despite her failure in turning magic in a tool for peace and love. Due to her immense power, there is no Devil or Demon in the universe who shows no fear towards her, for she is a Devil of the Light and can erase them just by staring at them, immortality or eternal youth is nothing for her. Despite her goodness, other Gods hates her because she is a devil and because of that, she lived years alone, wanting to meet a person who she can really love or live like a normal person while helping everyone around her. Being the bigger good of all Magic Side, Celica is a Pure-Blooded Devil that is the only person who is not like her brothers and stand up as the most beautiful example that even devils or demons, beings that are made of pure evil, are not so cold like everyone thought, for even dark beings can be more heroic and pure than many humansout there. Celica's ultimate goal is to end all wars using magic, even knowing that people will start hurting each other again, she will never give up on them, because they're her true family.
"I am not a good man! I am not a bad man. I am not a hero. And I'm definitely not a villain. And no, I'm not vigilante. Do you know what I am? I am an idiot, a jacket and a pan. Just passing through, helping out, learning more about this world. But I can't just stand here and watch you bully someone."
Born in Spain as a normal and avarage civilian who was known by his family for being a lazy, coward, good-for-nothing and miserable guy who refused to work to pay his own debts and lived under the roof of his parents, Axel Dávalos is an "failed student" who thinks in nothing but play games, eat, sleep and watch animes, series and movies. While he doesn’t see himself as a hero (and adamantly states he isn’t one for being a failure of a person) Axel is still innocent and carefree to the point he hates looking at blood and helps wounded people and animals when he gets the chance. He never actually does anything out of malice (even if his action are bad in the views of others) either because of his moral values or his naïveté. As a boy who cares about other people's well-being he is unable to feel temptation or lust for the Princesses that try to seduce him and even force him into sex against his will. Andri describes him as the the embodiment of unconditional forgiveness and is willing to forgive the most heinous acts of brutality and sexual torture that were caused to him by humanized female mobs, even asking them to be his friends instead of enemies. He manages to resist getting turned a traitor by the proposal of Clarrise in returning him to Earth in exchange of giving her the location of the Princess Mena. Axel is also a friend to all and never loses hope, putting his old pessimist personality of his past aside to create a new future for Minecraftia free from Triggers Hell's control, even when things are at their worst. He continues to fight for what is good and pure if think this is the right thing to do, even when those around him have given up or succumbed to the darkness. From a petty failure of a human being to a optimist hope bringer, Axel is probably the most realistic character of the modern era of humanity in the 21st century.
There were demons and then there were angels, there were monsters and then there were heroes trying to stop them. Despite being a dark fantasy story full of complicated and more grayish characters as well as demonic fiends, the Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow storyline also featured many incorruptible characters due to their kind nature.
Team Witness[]
"I will never recant my decision to be an American. I will never, never go back on my oath to fight for freedom against tyranny!"
Ichabod Crane, the main protagonist of the entire storyline, is the First Witness in the Biblican prophecy as well as a duty driven man ever since he was young. First fought for the British Army, Ichabod was highly disturbed by the diabolical tyranny committed by the British Army so that he had a change of heart, and soon he joined Washington to fight for Patriots and freeing the slaves and oppressed citizens in colony. While being captured, Ichabod was forced by General William Howe to gave him the names of every single colonial spies in exchange of being pardoned. Despite being tempted by the offer for a very short while, Ichabod immediately made a noble choice to refuse Howe's request, and yet the feeling of guilt always haunted him, even to the point of horror due to the fact that he was once near the point of no return. Later, under Washington's order, Ichabod was on a mission to assassinate Howe, but with respected to his former master, Ichabod first mercifully pledged Howe to leave Manhattan before Howe refused to do so - much to his dismay. When Benedict Arnold became a turncoat, Ichabod deduced that Arnold was tempted by the evil forces and start viewing Arnold's betrayal as a sad event he tried to avoid for all his life. After the attack of the Horseman against the Van Tassel family, Ichabod had made a wrong judgement but soon came to rescue his wife and friends as soon as the truth was unfold, eventually sacrificing his own life to defeat the Horseman... for the first time. After being revived with the Horseman 232 years after his demise, Ichabod teamed up with Abbie Mills and raced against time to save his beloved wife, Katrina, even knowing the risk it might take. During this time, Ichabod hacked a tree monster of Moloch to its death after knowing his wife and his newborn son was in serious danger because of it, avenging Lachlan Fredericks in a righteous way. After knowing his son, Jeremy Crane/Henry Parrish, became the Horseman of War due to being greatly manipulated by Moloch, despite what his son had done, Ichabod denied Abbie's order to slay Henry. Instead, Ichabod pleaded Henry to leave Moloch, to take his own life and leave others alone so that Henry could find peace, and his attitude was the polar opposite of Moloch who treated Henry as a expendable pawn and let him fight the Witnesses to death. Ichabod's heroic deeds even made a corrupted Henry to forgave his parents he had been hated for more than two centuries, making Henry to defeat Moloch and saving others. Being a soldier, Ichabod knew the right thing to do to save the entire world, in contrast to Abbie & Jenny whose emotions nearly blinded their judgement. Despite hating many of his foes, Ichabod was also showing honor towards his most dangerous enemies (even certain people like Moloch, Michael Langdon and Jasmine Porcelain) and he even took the blame of making Abraham Van Brunt, his former best friend, into the insane Horseman of Death because of his love to Katrina. Even when Michael tried to influence Ichabod for many times by using Ichabod's fear and guilt deep inside his heart, Ichabod proved to be incorruptible and resisted Michael's evil corruption one time after another, even to the point of risking his life to destroy Moloch's music box which was used by Michael to alter Ichabod's personality and driving him into an insane damned soul. Ichabod denied all of the corruption coming from Moloch and Michael Langdon, and was eventually facing his own dark side before conquering it. By the end of the final battle against Moloch, when Lady Van Tassel tried to control the Horseman by using his severed head, Ichabod was nearly killed when he sacrificed himself to Katrina, but not after took the Headless Horseman's head from Lady Van Tassel. Despite the risk it might take to return Death its head, Ichabod still had faith that Abraham will return to his heroic self since Moloch was destroyed and so his apocalypse shall not happen. The action worked, and Ichabod succeeded in bringing the humane side of Abraham Van Brunt, making him to drive Lady Van Tassel into Hell and killing her for the final time, thus saving Abbie, Katrina and more friends of him from certain danger. After the final battle was ended, Ichabod, Katrina, Abbie alongside a reformed Jeremy (returned back to his 17-years-old appearance prior to his turn to darkness) and their friends left Sleepy Hollow and went to another dimension in Fairy Tale World to join the Hexenmeister Community in order to confront Moloch's remnants, confront the army of Triggers Hell and protect the Multi-Universe. Many years later, when The Fallen start to reveal his original self and attack the Multi-Universe, Ichabod and his allies (who were remained immortal in the Fairy Tale World) joined the Ratatoskr to end the Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire's reign of terror forever. Even after his death in the Cataclymistic War, Ichabod's soul resided in the Paradise as a spiritual protector of Multi-Universe, and his Witness mantle shall be carry on by many people who joined in rebuilding humanity and order which the Balam Alliance once destroyed. Ichabod represent noble duty, conscience as well as benevolence who will never intends to fail his friends, family and the world.
"Like my uncle Charlie says, 'A goat's a goat and not a chicken.' But God loves us all. I... I added the last part of God."
Being someone so self-restraint who was even too afraid to take a bite of a candy apple, Sister Mary Eunice is the Big Good of the storyline and one of the most selfless spirit guides in the story. Being a kind, naive and pleasant nun, Mary Eunice had a natural beauty as well as an ability to please everyone. Her mentor, Sister Jude, cared for Mary Eunice very much despite being strict to her, and she had saw her naive personality as purity, a purity full of selfless virtue which had even moved the cruel and sadistic Dr. Arthur Arden, a former Nazi mad scientist, making him to fall in love with her. Sadly, her purity caused her disastrous effect when a Devil invaded the Braircliff and possessed her, trying to use her purity as a shield and twisting her personality, trying to the rule asylum and even the entire Catholic Church, breaking Sister Jude's mind, flirting with Dr. Arden (to his sheer anger) and using Oliver Thredson (Bloody Face) as a psychological doctor to taunt Lana Winters... During this time, the real Mary Eunice felt those horrid torments and was tormented that even she tried to kill herself since she was too weak. Eventually, breaking the Devil's control, Sister Mary Eunice used the last ounce of her sanity to release her soul from the Devil, becoming a wiser soul guide who built the Team Witness and fought against the Tribulations. Being the good counterpart of many other villains, Sister Mary Eunice is selfless, helpful as well as encouraging. In The Corbin Files, when Katarina Couteau and her friends came into the past, Sister Mary Eunice became their guide "if [her] Red Haired Demon commands". She is also aware of the situation, knowing what was the best choice if she had to make one, so she refused a Hexemeister agent's request to make Katarina staying in Sleepy Hollow, knowing the red haired warrior was the key person who will stop Eckidina KnightWalker from destroying the world in future. Always refusing to succub to failure, Sister Mary Eunice encouraged Katarina whenever she lost the hope, cheered Katarina up whenever she fell depressed, and she was always came to help Katarina out as long as she existed in existence, eventually gaining Katarina's respect. In the eyes of Katarina and Ichabod, Sister Mary Eunice is like a helpful guide, a kind mentor, a true angel as well as a friend in need - therefore a friend indeed. Like Monsignor Howard said, the Devil shall never defeat Mary Eunice since her purity was still inside and was never tarnished despite all the Devil's horrid deeds. Sister Mary Eunice represents purity, honesty, self-restraint as well as a will to fight against anything that was endangering people she cared of.
"I'm not asking if you can qualify. I'm asking if you're running away."
Sheriff August Corbin is one of the (if not the) most important figures in the lives of Abbie andJenny Mills. Being the first man who had expressed his belief in Abbie and Jenny's encountering with Moloch, Corbin kept them as his apprentices separately until the day come for them to reunite and learn the truth. Corbin is the good counterpart of his former friend, Atticus Nevins, who was obsessed with the demonic power to the point of selling his soul. Corbin saw the road Nevins going was a road towards oblivion, so he denied their friendship in order to protect humanity. Unbeknownst to many people even including his own son, Corbin was allied with Katrina's coven remnants and secretly investigated every single supernatural events occurring in Sleepy Hollow, knowing two covens were secretly operating in the town, one worked for good and one for evil. During this time, Corbin spotted Abbie who committed theft to live, but knowing Abbie's destiny as one of the Witnesses, Corbin gave her a second chance instead of sending her to jail immediately, thus changing the life of Abbie to the better side. For Jenny, Corbin took care of her after taking her out of Tarrytown Psych Hospital and put trust in her. Both the Mills Sisters saw Corbin as a fathering figure and mentor. When Ancitif possessed Jenny, Corbin risked his life casting it out, but then he knew that the Horseman of Death was destined to approach him and kill him. Eventually, Corbin kept his files, known as The Corbin Files in his former office as well as the archives so that Abbie will one day know the truth and carried on his legacy. Corbin was not worried about Abbie's ability, but her will to face her childhood fear and trauma so that she could move on to her destiny as the Second Witness after his time is up. Corbin represents spiritual heroism, showing someone could make a noticeable difference even after their death if they contribute themselves into good things. Those kind of people will never be forgotten even after their death.
"You mean... after all these times... we could have been friends? Then, please allow me to be your friend. I know I once turned bossy... and monstrous... but I am geniuely sorry. Allow me to have a chance to fix this."
The "good" Melancholia, or referred as her true name, Plaisir, was turned into a tragic villainess who thirst for blood. However, the true kind personality of Plaisir never died out even being pressed hard by her evil counterpart. Once living in the Enchanted Forest, Plaisir was a naive fairy who liked to portray Joan of Arc, a legendary heroine she admired, and she was fond of helping others in need and deemed no rewards from them. However, facing the death of her family and friends due to Moloch's murderous manslaughter, Plaisir turned from a girl with everything she loves to a girl who lost everything she loves, eventually turning into Melancholia, a twisted evil fairy with a much more brutal personality. Even so, at heart, Plaisir was stuck in the thirst of revenge as well as the desire to save her world from war. During her time as Melancholia, Plaisir deeply fell in love with the Anti-Christ, Michael Langdon who once promised her to overthrow Moloch in order to avenge her family and friends. She believed Michael gave her hope despite some mysterious voice (turned out to be her old self) urged her to either kill or leave Michael in order to end his dreadful plans, yet she was too naive to heed this warning. Due to her personality instability similar to Katarina Couteau, the life of Plaisir (as Melancholia) was like a roller-coaster, since sometimes she could be pretty friendly due to her pure-good past self, whereas sometimes she would be as blood-thirsty as any evil person from the forces of Moloch due to her vile evil counterpart. For a while, she even sunk into some sort of blood-thirst insanity and for some times she was the main antagonist in several arcs. However, many of those was caused by the internal conflict which Plaisir tried to resist her evil self and break free from Moloch's control. Believing Fallen Roman Catholic Church was made of good, Melancholia/Plaisir did so that she and Michael would ended up happily forever and bring happiness across the world, help people in need, even for the cost of many life of whom she deemed as enemies. Under the manipulation of her evil counterpart, Plaisir made their first agreement to construct FOLIE, since she believed it could eventually wipe out the most evil side of humanity (including the KnightWalker Family) and recreate the world which was scarred by the war, branding the Fallen Roman Catholic Church itself as a Noah's Ark.

"But Mommy, I am only wanting to stay by your side, even for a few moments."
Molly Thomas is the 11-year-old daughter of the FBI Agent Diana Thomas, the prophesied Oracle as well as the successor of Abbie Mills' Witness Mantle. Molly was a naive girl who went friendly with many living beings, also including animals as well as even animals, but according to Sister Mary Eunice, Molly's naivety had became a strong weakness since she could not identify good from evil, making her to have a poor judgement of character and fell into the lies of many evil people like Malcolm Dreyfuss. Molly, however, showed great bravery during the time when she was a child, as she could face a monster with no fear, especially the monster that was manifested from her imagined childhood friend, Mr. Stitch, and showed affection to him despite his menacing appearance. She also helped Team Witness as much as she could despite her young age, and by doing so, she discovered the Vault of Washington as well as Dreyfuss' plan to bring the Four Horsemen to a revival which would lead the prevail of Moloch's United Kingdom of America on Prime Earth, and even she managed to channel Abbie's soul by their Witness Mantle connection and brought Abbie and Katrina Crane back from the dead. Molly was somehow silly and childish, but she was not bratty or spoiled. Molly had many good qualities from Abbie and was willingly to sacrifice herself in order to protect her family and friends from danger. Ichabod regarded her as his adoptive daughter and gave fatherly love to her, and Aerisi Kalinoth praised Molly's courage, feeling amazed for an 11-year-old girl who had courage to fight against everyone's worst nightmares.
"He was kind. He-he was my father... That's the way that I saw it. That's why I told myself that the things that I did for him were okay, but now that I'm here, telling you about all the evil that I've done. I know this isn't the life you wanted for me."
However, Molly eventually grew up... and her naivety had almost drove her into evil. In an alternate timeline, Dreyfuss took over the Prime Earth and became the new President of the United States in order to raise another dreadful rule in the name of Moloch. Dreyfuss held Ichabod captive, turned Diana into the Horseman of Death, and adopted an oblivious Molly to make her his tool after changing her name into Lara Dreyfuss (or Lara Thomas). Believing that Ichabod Crane and his friends were all responsible for the "death" of her mother, Lara blindly enforced Dreyfuss whom she considered as her father due to being lack of fatherly love, and even killing Future Jenny Mills who rose an rebellion, but during that process, Lara saw her mother's face when Jenny damaged the helmet of the Horseman of War. Upon finding Future Ichabod still alive, Lara visited him in his cell and learned about the true nature behind Dreyfuss. Under Future Ichabod's advice, Lara arrived to the past in order to reverse her mother's fate, automatically taking her young counterpart's Witness mantle and helped Ichabod, Diana and their allies to defeat Dreyfuss. After Ichabod turned into the Horseman of War, Lara helped him to get rid of War mantle and fought together in order to defeat Dreyfuss, rendered him back to mortal and killed him. She also prevented the return of Michael Langdon via the latter's future counterpart (who tried to capture Lara and merged with one of the Legion Michael spirits). After Dreyfuss was killed, Lara's Witness Mantle preserved her existence. She then roamed the world in order to find her place until another evil strike back, and so Lara returned to Ichabod and fought against the vicious Sascha Vykos. No matter what Lara did when she was fooled by Dreyfuss, she eventually atoned her sins. She would do anything in order to stop herself from falling into the villainy in order to save mankind, and that was how a redeemed villain turned Pure Good.

"My heart has been set. You should know... I am no longer your subservient puppet!"
Being the only sane woman in the Order of Flourish, Helene Hawthorn was once determined to become a solitude beneath the town instead of a zealous worshiper of a dark messiah due to her horrible facial disfigurement she was born to have, thus she had to wear a mask to hide her face and herself. However, when the diabolic Phyllis Peach captured her, tortured her and coerced her, Helene had to agree to join them as the Hawthorn Mage in order to bring warmth and light upon the "cold world", but she was also a benevolent and selfless figure who always suggested Helio the Light Lord not to harm innocent people. Even so, she did not know that the Light Lord was not a saint, but someone who was presented due to a twisted false prophecy, a man even ending up dealing with the malevolent Moloch, the evil Dark Lord in Helene's mind. This caused Helene to give up every hope and lived like a repulsive carcass. However, good for her, Helene began to free herself from despair when the Team Witness appeared in front of her and she eventually encouraged by Katrina to stand against Lord Helio before he could release a magical weapon named the Dawn's Early Light that could cause mass destruction on the town of Sleepy Hollow, even the entire world.

A kind and selfless person, despite with an ugly face, shall never deserve loathing.

Lavenna is also the first one who join Team Witness in order to seek out the truth behind the Bell of Awakening after realizing that the Bell was a dangerous thing.

She was worried that Gregory will have a sanity slippage after losing his best friend in his entire life. Lavenna believed that as long as she take part in the action of bringing back the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart, Moloch and the Zodiac Demons will be destroyed, and she will see Gregory return back to his normal personality before the start of the Feast of Apollo. However, after witnessing the presence of the mysterious Charlotte Raisin, who turned out to be Christine Van Bilj after being experimented by Gregory, Lavenna started to feel disturbed that the Secrecy was going on to a wrong way. She immediately found out that it was Phyllis Peach who was manipulating Gregory via brainwashing so that he could use the Bell of Awakening to make the witch descendant lose control on their power, damaging much of the town and framed Katrina Crane, who was helping the Order to bring back her coven, for the crimes. It was also a ploy for Christine, who soon regained her consciousness, to bring back the dark coven of Moloch in order to take control of the town of Sleepy Hollow. Startled and drenched in guilt, Lavenna immediately went to save the Two Witness from the stake and told Katrina and Jeremy Crane the entire truth before freeing them from the control of Gregory, just as Phyllis was about to be succeeded to make Katrina a traitor to the Team Witness.

"The justice might be viewed differently in different people's eye, but the line between order and chaos is the absolutely the same, and so is the line between oppression and freedom. Such a line is not what we should cross. If we cross this line, if we go rogue, if we get corrupted and paranoid, then there shall be chaos out there... Desire is something that shall lose control, and so shall our sanity. What would we have then if we wasted everything, the sons and daughters of Sleepy Hollow?"
Hestia Hawthorn is the founder of Star Spangled Society and the former second in command within the Order of Flourish, as well as the archenemy of an infamous serial killer known to the public as La Gloton. She is remembered as one of the best and most dedicated member of the Order of Flourish following her tragic murder. Being the adoptive parent of some sort to Selina Strawberry and a former friend to Selina's parents, Hestia kept the darkest secret of Selina's parents inside her heart in order to protect Selina, knowing that the Order of Flourish has its reason to be kept in secret to the public. However, she never agrees to use any extreme way to achieve the Order's goal to protect the town. In her mind, Hestia regards helping weaklings as the greatest importance in terms of justice, and she is one of the few sane person that shows some cautiousness towards Croatoan Virus and its usage in terms of defeating the Zodiac Demons. It is also revealed that Hestia, in order to prevent disastrous effects, instructs Selina to produce the divine weapon of Dawn's Early Light in order to prevent a Croatoan outbreak, which would kill hundreds, even millions of innocent lives and can only benefit Moloch and his minions. During her time of being stuck in depression, Hestia encourages Selina to get out of the hollowed sadness and make an outlook to the future. Sadly, it was cut short when Alexandar Apricot, an Order of Flourish agent, tried to expose the Croatoan plan to the USA government, but was framed by Pedro Pineapple, nearly triggered a bio-weapon crisis in New York, and was subsequently sent on trial, before he was rumored to commit suicide in prison. Deducing Alexandar to be innocent, Hestia tried to discover the truth behind this, as well as the later missing of Mayor Dragonia Dragonfruit, which only led her to La Gloton, who revealed to be the entire event's mastermind. Even till her last moment, Hestia refused to surrender to La Gloton when the latter threatened her to expose the Croatoan Virus to the world. Hestia knew if the Order's project and source was exposed, not only the order in Sleepy Hollow would eventually crumbled, the virus itself would fall into the hands of dishonest businessman who would only use them in amoral goals. Then, she accepted her demise under the belief that the hope shall prevail. Sadly enough, Hestia's demise is the cause of the Feast of Apollo, which caused the leadership of the Order of Flourish losing their mind, twisting everything into what Hestia never wanted in her entire life.

"There are so many things you don't get to choose, Abbie, like all those times they came to take you away from me. You have to fight."
Seemly insane and despite having a bad publicity, Lori Roberts-Mills is completely sane. Being the protective mother of Abbie & Jenny Mills, Lori kept her daughter away from danger since she knew that the army of Moloch lurked everywhere in the town. Like her missing husband, Lori is also one of the keepers who kept the secret which her daughter is one of the Witnesses, so Moloch sent his minions to harm her in order to kill her daughters. Once, Moloch possessed Lori and tried to drive her into killing Jenny, her very own daughter, inside a car with carbon monoxide. However, Lori had eventually fought back to defy Moloch's control and drove the car out of the storeroom filled with gas, saved her daughter just in time. However, concerned to be insane by Leena Reyes, Lori was unfortunately sent to the Tarrytown Hospital where Moloch sent the ghost nurse, Nurse Gina Lambert, to drive her suicide. However, the restless soul of Lori kept fighting inside Tarrytown, trying to undo the serial suicidal effect caused by Nurse Lambert and yet it kept getting futile. Fortunately, under Sister Mary Eunice's help, Lori had finally saved her daughters from the danger and drove Gina Lambert back to Hell, thus her soul managed to move on to afterlife... yet before that, she presented the journal left by her family ancestor, Grace Dixon, to her two daughters in order to help them win the war. Lori Mills is perhaps one of the most benevolent parent in the storyline who represented protection, love, and bravery, selflessly protecting her daughters with all her might even after her death.
"The time of slavery ends already. Gromph Baenre, you are waging war against the kindness itself. You are so pathetic that you are not aware of this... You had fallen inside a bottomless pit... but I can help you get out of it. Let me help you out of the chains of Lolth."
The legendary drow warrior, Drizzt Do'Urden, was an atypical drow who had forsaken both the evil ways of his people and their home in the Underdark, to become the legendary hero of the North. Unlike to his mother, Matron Malice Do'Urden, or his sister, Briza Do'Urden, Drizzt was not a worshiper of Lolth at all. He left his home in the Underdark and joined forces like the Emerald Enclave and the Hexenmeister Community against the evil gods within Faerun as well as even the entire Multi-Universe. He was recognized by Neverwinter Army as one of their most vital allies and a friend in need as well. During the infamous Rage of Demons caused by Gromph Baenre (and orchestrated by Lolth and Jasmine Porcelain), Drizzt fought the demons with bravery and helped his friends to save people from the deadly consequences caused by Gromph. Despite a skilled fighter, Drizzt was not utterly ruthless. He not only never killed children, but also he showed forgiveness towards many of his enemies. The reason that the House Do'Urden fell out of Lolth's favor was due to Drizzt, having not slain an elf child (the baby Ellifain Tuuserail) on his raid above ground, instead protecting her, hiding her under her dead mother that another dark elf had slain. Drizzt was calm and wise as well. During the search of the Maze Engine and battling against the Hidden One alongside Ichabod & Abbie, Drizzt had been very careful to their new allies, and it later made him found out the connection between Vizeran DeVir with the four Elemental Evil Prophets before seeing through his false heroic lies. During his confrontation with his mother Malice and elder sister Briza, Drizzt tried to persuade his obsessive mother to abandon her belief towards Lolth in order to make her redeem herself. After his mother was killed by Briza for abandoning the belief of Lolth, Drizzt accused his sister who committed matricide... while trying to make her realize the way she was following was wrong. However, Drizzt abandoned his hope only when his sister tried to kill him not long before the House of Baenre's army killed her in an attack. Later, Drizzt showed mercy to Gromph Baenre even if he was his sworn enemy, giving him a chance of redemption after realizing he was coerced by Jasmine Porcelain to become a puppet of the Spider Queen. Even Valindra Shadowmantle, despite hating Drizzt, had admitted that some part within Drizzt's personality earned her respect, even reminding her of his father; the fabulous Zaknafein Do'Urden. Despite he was sacrificed to Lolth after the House of Do'Urden lost Lolth's favor because of Drizzt, the soul of Zaknafein was always proud of his benevolent son. Drizzt represents redemption, since he is a warrior who was born inside a family and race full of evil and malevolence, but he still stood out as a noble and selfless hero after abandoning the evil traits within his family and his kin.
"Ichabod, Calvin, and Selina, please. After I died... you must keep the Stone of Wisdom! You can't give it to anybody! This Stone was tainted with Moloch's curse. As long as it existed and fell into the wrong hands, another catastrophe will strike again! Therefore, please! All of you!"

However, after the failure of the Second Feast, Zoe refused to cooperate with her father's plan and stole the Infinity Ring, returning it back to Calvin so that he could defeat her father and end all this madness, even at the price for her to disappear forever. Calling her father as the real fool, Zoe revealed that she never wanted to sacrifice others in order to survive, saying that her remaining portion of Hestia would never pleased to see all of this. Zoe also saw through the truth behind the Stone of Wisdom, wanting Ichabod, Selina and Calvin to hide the Stone so that no one shall ever take it away, since this stone itself means disaster, right before she was killed by Phyllis Peach (once more), who took the Stone of Wisdom away. In the end, Calvin and Selina managed to summon the spirit of Zoe/Hestia inside the ring so that they could defeat Phyllis, as Zoe (now regaining her Hestia persona) declared the final punishment upon La Gloton.

With M.O.D.A.B, Both Lizbeth and Boomer qualify in this, as but in different ways, As well as Angus from The Team Free Will Storyline
Lizbeth gets this for being all around patient with her friends. She thinks of her friends are more important than she is and without hesitation tried her best to keep her friends together. She is willing to forgive many of her foes if they prove themselves and has a healthy frenemy relationship with one of her two archenemies: Hunson Abadeer. Lizbeth also serves as a open door to alliances as she got the V Crusaders to work with her own friends and got her arch-nemesis to help her.

Boomer gets this for being patient, caring and understanding of his friends and he takes a lot after his girl friends. Though unlike her, he does suffer naiveté, while Lizbeth is sharper. Boomer has convinced his brothers to be good, and may have some influence on his evil fathers.
Angus O'Shaughnessey is this as a result of being someone who liked helping people, he acts like a surrgorate uncle to The Loud kids, especially Lincoln. His kindness is why Lincoln crowned him duke.

She eternally respects many rivals towards the Symphogear Heroines, Ruko Kominato, Sho Fukamachi, Mizuki Segawa, and other heroes from countless universes.
"Milinda and I do this duty for our heroes. Even if it means that Soichi Isurugi, Misora Isurugi, Rebecca Hawkins, and everyone died for us. I am very kind to them. We must fight and survive together. I knew the many wars are paining my life and hers."
Sento Kiryu/Kamen Rider Build is the adventurous hero and the friendly father to Milinda Branntini. Sento is aware of many adventures for him and Milinda. He was responsible for saving many innocent heroes. He is destined to walk the path of peace and mercy. He can stop at nothing until he fulfills his duty of saving humanity from the forces of darkness in the entire Multi-Universe. He remained strong to defeat powerful bosses and evil leaders as well. He eternally respects many rivals towards the Symphogear Heroines, Ruko Kominato, Sho Fukamachi, Mizuki Segawa, and other heroes from countless universes.
"All of you need to stop worrying. I knew that all is well for everyone in the universe; so that, the nightmare will be ended for good. The meaningless wars and battles had to be avoided."
Lady Futaba Ichinose shares the same role of Kudelia Aina Bernstein. She was responsible for respecting many leaders who are very young and old. Futaba Ichinose, however, is more on the soft, compassionate, and forgiving side, even to a difficult person or an enemy. Being an associate and politician to Tekkadan, she will only fight as a last resort...and is not the least bit pleased about how judgmental others of her kind are. In addition, she has powerful sense of postivity and animal kindness.
"I, Hina Amano, the daughter of Uka and Byakuya and the princess of Gods of the Multi-Universe, can do my eternal very best to destroy the darkness and bring great light to all of universes."
Hina Amano is an all-powerful daughter of Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami and Byakuya Kuchiki, who easily remained unharmed and well protected. She is also clever, prayerful, incorruptible, and merciful. She is aware of protecting her friends and family from harm. According to theory, Hina Amano is the superhuman key to destroy the darkness.
"I can feel the power of light growing. I have to agree that the darkness must be destroyed. Because of that, I must find out the truth."
Margrave Juro is one of Yuinshiel's followers. He is the one and only honorable Jedi. He takes a selfless sense of greater heroism. During adventures, he and Mana Nagase are aiding the heroes to fight back against many villainous threats like Millenniummon and Black Hat.
"I think I was born with special strength for the purpose of defeating Black Hat and Lucifer Langdon. That's my best duty to assume their demise."
Luigi was born as the powerful sonof his parents on January 23, 2007. He quickly received the baptism very early. In 2010, he studied the martial arts of the Ten Legendary Warriors for the first time in order to prove himself with the help of Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade and many heroes. His hatred for villains made Luigi be extremely strong under the powers of light and darkness. He needs to remain alive and strong in order to destroy all villains once and for all.

Belle (Disney) is a kind and courageous girl who replaced the family Yugo. She is clever and merciful.
Legends of the Multi-Universe (Menslady125's story)[]
"Normally, they are...and it's nothing I'm proud of...nor can I understand why they are that way."
Angewomon is extremely different from others of her kind. Normally, these Digimon are judgmental, harsh and unforgiving towards their enemies, as was clearly shown in Digimon Adventure 01. They are extremely gentle, but only with good people. They also will not hesitate to attack an enemy unless the enemy converts. Angewomon, however, is more on the soft, compassionate, and forgiving side, even to a difficult person or an enemy. Being a follower of the Eight Tenats of the Children of the Autobots, she will only fight as a last resort...and is not the least bit pleased about how judgmental others of her kind are. In addition, she is willing to protect those she cares about in any manner necessary...even if it means losing her life!
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."
Optimus Prime is probably one of the best examples of "pure of heart". He is so gentle and compassionate that it has allowed enemies to take advantage of him. He is willing to protect the innocent and their freedoms in any way, even at the cost of his life. One of his best "pure of heart" examples is probably how he has treated Angewomon and Myotismon as if they were his own children. Optimus acts this way towards them because he feels that they need special love and support since they are carrying a great burden of responsibility being defenders of Disney and the Multi-Universe.
"Perhaps I never will be the hero I dreamed of being as a child...nor truly be considered one of the Children of the Autobots. But I know that I will not be alone! There are plenty who love and care for me despite what I am! And if you must know, Optimus sees me as one of his own children! I will NOT betray him NOR my loved ones!"
Although counted among the villains and dubbed "the Prince of all Animated Evil", Myotismon has also shown this trait. One such example is how much of a loving father and husband he is. Also, as is with Angewomon (whom he is a very close friend to), Myotismon will not hesitate to go to any lengths to protect his loved ones...even if it should cost him his life. As was shown when Galvatron tormented him, Myotismon is determined to NEVER again become the horrid monster he was who abandoned those who loved him. Compared to family and friends, power is nothing to Myotismon as it once was. Myotismon's best example of "pure of heart" is possibly when he and Angewomon decided to use the full power of the White Disney Crystal to defeat Galvatron, even though they knew that would come at the cost of their lives. In addition to that, as they were dying, Myotismon used the wish the crystal had granted him to let Angewomon survive. (Of course, it turned out that Angewomon had used her wish to let Myotismon survive, so they both made it home alive.)
"All who walk the path of evil are not lost forever. There is hope of a second chance for all."
Primus is the creator of the Transformers and is basically Cybertron itself. Known as the Lord of Light to most and the Supreme Deity to the Children of the Autobots, Primus is the complete opposite of his brother, Unicron. He is a soft-hearted, life-cherishing god and holds a firm belief that redemption is possible for everyone. After he revived the dead Riley Simpson and transformed him into Angemon, the new hero was still so remorseful for the evil deeds he had done, he did not think it was possible to take up the mantle of a hero. Primus comforted Angemon and pointed out that though the past could not be changed, the future could be made up for. Later, when Sailor Moon and her team came with Sailor Gallifrey to unlock their hidden powers, they were upset and pleaded for forgiveness from Primus, thinking they had failed to protect Angewomon and Myotismon. But Primus told them to not blame themselves. He had been very certain that the Angels would be captured...and he was more than happy to help the Sailor Soldiers unlock their hidden powers. In LOTM: The Angels Return, Mervamon was very nervous when she learned that she was the Disney Angel of Power. But Primus assured that she had nothing to fear, for it would become familiar to her in time, and she would not be alone. Plus, he and his children would always be watching out for her.
Ikran's F-Zero timeline[]
Captain Falcon (Douglas Jay Falcon)
Of course, the main hero of F-Zero! He's benevolent as a bounty huner/F-Zero elitist, even rumored to be the embodiment of the Yang, aka the light, or the falcon. He was also an inspiration to others such as Yugi (as he wanted to develop a future game about him), Burt Lemming (as he inspired him to keep living and run the Falcon House after he was fatally wounded in Zoda's shootout, resulting in his weak constitution), Tinsel (by teaching her to spread her wings and train her new advancements of her Silver Comet for the GX Grand Prix, resurrecting her career as a racer, and teaching her the Booster Fire), and Rick (eventually passing on his mantle to him and making him his own private tutor, relying on him as the new Lighter bringer to the universe)! Ge also gave Rick a choice to keep living and fight the T-Virus inside him.
Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon
Yugi's Duel Monster was the magnum opus and the equivalent to Joey's Black Skull Dragon. His Shiny Nova was just enough to stand up against Deathborn's pure darkness twice, even when assisting on destroying the Dark Reactor Core.
