Micaela



Micaela (ミカエラ) is the former 1st rank of the Hierarchy of Angels, one of Ilias's very first creations, the founder of Enrika, Lucifina’s older sister, and the aunt of Luka. Being a former Seraphim, and having commanded the angel army for almost eternity, she is an excellent strategist and warrior, mastering the ultimate skill - Sword of the Heavens, and was even able to deceive Ilias twice.

When meeting Luka for the first time, when he initially arrived in Enrika, she tells him to leave at first, as the village was only accepting traders/merchants, only to notice his Keepsake Ring and greet him warmly. Still rejecting him to enter the village, she says that she’ll speak to Luka when “the time is right”.

In Chapter 3, after Ilias revealed her wrath and laid siege against the entire world, Micaela transported the villagers of Ilias Village to Enrika. After Luka and Alice arrive to help fend off the invaders, Micaela appears at the very end, much to Rapunzel’s surprise, and her aura alone is enough to rout the remaining invaders. However, Micaela reveals that she was only bluffing; her powers have rusted drastically over time.

Micaela reveals that Enrika is a hidden village for monsters and fallen angels, mostly comprised of elves, who did not want to partake in the war against humanity. Micaela reveals herself to be one of those fallen angels, one of the very first along with her younger sister, Lucifina. She explains that Ilias did not create the world, rather, billions of years ago, the forces of light and darkness manifested themselves into Ilias and Alice I (First), respectively. Ilias had started to create images of her own on this world, the first two starting with Micaela and Lucifina; it is assumed that Ilias created these manifestations out of loneliness, as light and darkness cannot cross. Millions of years ago, unsatisfied, she turned to this world and evolved the primitiveness of its creatures to become similar to her, erasing and changing here and there, ultimately artificially creating humanity, who were "complete". Likewise, Alice I created monsters in a much more skilled way than Ilias, and later formed offshoots of herself; the Monster Lords and the Six Ancestors. 1,000 years prior, Ilias and Alice I had conflict, and thus resulted in the Great Monster Wars. Alice I realized that the continuous clashing would result the destruction of everything; Ilias continued her onslaught and then proposed that if Alice I and the Six Ancestors will seal themselves, Ilias would not touch their monsters. With no other option, Alice I was forced to comply, but placed a counterbalance on the seal, which would cause it to break if Ilias had broken her promise. 500 years prior, Ilias then created a counterbalance against Alice I's counterbalance; her own variants of monsters: Promestein and the chimeras. She also needs Black Alice to sustain the dark magic flowing throughout the world. At this point, rebels began, including Lucifina; out of loyalty, Micaela was forced to hunt her down, but hesitated and allowed her to escape to the surface world. 30 years ago, Ilias finalized her plan and began the Slaughter of Remina; by this point, Micaela had enough and rebelled as well, leading her to retreat to the surface world and found Enrika. Luka finally realizes that his mother is one of the original fallen angels, and is the nephew of Micaela. Micaela then explains about Luka's family; Marcellus is indeed descended from Heinrich, which is what attracted Ilias to him. Thus, this concludes Micaela's story.

Just then, Tamamo arrives, recognizing Micaela, but quickly informs Alice and Luka about the seals placed on them and then takes Alice to teach her Word of Dispel. Micaela then explains to Luka that since he is half-human, the divine power is taking its toll on him, then explains the skills presented. After he rests, he goes off to save the world from Ilias' forces, and Micaela wishes him well.

Once Luka, Alice, and the Four Heavenly Knights battle Ilias, Micaela arrives near the climax of the battle and attacks Ilias with her Sword of the Heavens, dealing massive damage to the evil goddess. Micaela states that she lied about being unable to use her power, knowing that Ilias would overhear it. She claims that she is now out of power, but when Ilias tries to attack again, Micaela uses her Sword of the Heavens once more and states that she lied again. However, this time, Micaela is truly out of power and departs with the unconscious Granberia.

A month later, after Ilias's defeat, Micaela still monitors Enrika to watch over Ilias's former subordinates who seek refuge.
