Mikaela

Mikaela is a character referred in Seraph of the End. The physical body of Mikaela himself was kept during the dark ages of Greece. There were candidates believed to have the Michaela trait. After the fight between Guren Ichinose and his demons against Yūichirō Hyakuya and Mikaela Hyakuya ended. Mikaela emerged from Mika as a rank one demon.

Appearance
The Michaela seen in the past was stated to be deceased but was well preserved and appeared like an adolescent. He had long wavy, light colored hair nearing his shoulders, and pointed vampire-like ears. Most prominently were four large feathered seraph wings on his back. With Yu seeing a glimpse of Michaela's face, he was under the impression that he was a pretty girl but with Michaela having no clothes on, Noya referred to Michaela as 'him'.

Whilst a demon Mikaela physically largely resembles Mika as a child with the addition of two large pointed black horns on top of his head. Like Mika at that time he has light blue eyes but unlike Mika this demon has visible pointed ears that can be seen from his yellow blond hair.

The demon wore clothing that was formal for his age including a white double buttoned dress shirt with a banded black double buttoned collar. His pair of dark colored shorts were down to his thighs. He also wears a pair of sturdy black boots that reached up near to his knees. The dignified manner of attire was out of place for the respective time period he was in. It is not something that the past Mikaela would have likely worn in ancient times neither was Mika seen wearing such attire during present times. Over all of this the demon was cloaked in a hooded dark cape with the interior a lighter color with the length down to his shins. It was worn open with the front part of the clothing visible, and held together by a crossed strap across the chest. The hood was large and rigid appearing where the material did not rest over his head. It may have had openings for his horns or part of the design included a material to cover them and there was a long part of the back of the hood. Just as prominently was an exceptionally long upright shadowy tail like appendage that curled in several places.

Personality
As a demon within a landscape Mikaela contemplated demons and how bright the world was. He remained expressionless at experiencing a thirst though acknowledged that he needed to hurry. Remaining indifferent even as his arm started to disappear Mikaela concentrated on a course of action in locating a human having the instincts to devour their desires. Whether he was bothered by the sun or his arm he made no effort to alleviate his discomfort.

With unfamiliar people such as Mika and Yu he deemed them precious and desired to protect the world they were in for them. At feeling that someone was an invader Mikaela immediately attacked Kiseki-o with his next decision being to devour the invaders' desires. He showed no fear at being attacked. At first running, Mikaela took to firing at a pursuer and took measures to deliver on his intent to defend Mika and the illusionary Yu once it became clear that they were being targeted. He was surprised at Ashera managing to break into a building he had created to block his path but returned to composure when one of his attacks missed with the remark that it was annoying. Similarly he had little regard for his own arm being struck but expressed a deep sense of shock at the prospect of Mika and the Yu being eaten.

History
The physical body of Michaela was around at some point during the Dark Ages of Greece. His corpse is held in a large see through coffin within in a large room, off limits, and is observed by Noya, Ashera and Krul. Noya comments he was "what all of us were meant to become but failed" and they figure what to do about the Mikaela. He is also seen by a young Yu and although stated to be deceased, Michaela's mouth had opened slightly during the period that others were observing him. He is later referred to as Sika Madu's son.

The demon Mikaela entered the world after Mika had a serum injected into his hand in his and Yu’s battle against Guren then ascended into the air. If he had any memories or was connected to the being that Mika found he did not think of this. The demon has enough history to comment on ‘this world’. If it is from history Mikaela is aware of modern buildings and can create them in remarkable detail.

Shibuya Arc
In the present time Noya is surprised upon seeing Mikaela Hyakuya and excitedly wonders if Sika Madu succeeded in creating a Michaela.

Post-Shibuya Arc
After an explosion occurs around Mika this demon’s right arm reaches out of a portal over his face. The hand reaches down before another one emerges from the same portal. This left hand has moved downwards as Yu shouts that he will save Mika from the ground. After twitching it reaches towards Yu as he is taken away by Krul Tepes before a tremendous audible sound is emitted from the demon. The right arm pauses as it grips Mika’s shoulder before a small child like being covered with a dark cloak emerges from Mika.

Stood on a plane which appears not of the physical world with a long shimmering and winding path near it the demon remarks on how the sun in this world is so bright. Gulping, the demon states to himself how he is so thirsty. Through some means the demon feels he needs to hurry and find a human to possess. Raising to check his right arm the demon finds it frittering away where is has disappeared down to the forearm. Outwardly not bothered by this happening the demon knows it is right that he must find a human and devour their desires. He has an awareness that this is because he is a demon.

Within a residential area the demon watches the child Mika speaking with Yu in a room where other orphans sleep. Observing through a door the demon giggles to himself. He does not know who they are yet for some reason finds them precious so much so that he decides to protect this place for them. Walking outside into the residential area Mikaela notices a lone coffin in the street. Recalling that he has to keep this world safe and make sure no one else sneaks in he uses his hand to cause four spiked ended crosses to materialize around the object. Without warning one stabs through the opening of the other side of the coffin right into Kiseki-o who was attempting to infiltrate that world. He is visualized as being absorbed in his own world of pleasures.

Having moved to a rooftop Mikaela decides invaders are coming as multiple coffins appear in the air around him. Many spectral arrows come flying out of one of them and direct themselves towards him where Mikaela has the capabilities to capture them with his hands. Mikaela says he should devour the invaders' desires first. He remains standing as black demons Kiseki-o along with Gekkouin and Asuramaru have entered this area and surrounded him. Mikaela runs through the streets and casts a glance to Asuramaru behind him who is armed with a sword. Continuing to run Mikaela responds to Ashera's taunts by materializing four crosses. Informing Ashera that he will go nowhere Mikaela states he will kill Ashera and take his desires. Directing his weapons towards Ashera Mikaela then stops at finding Ashera in front of him and moves to avoid his attack. Telling him to die Mikaela fires one cross at close range which skewers right through Ashera's chest. He disappears and Mikaela realizes it was an illusion that was struck. With Mika and the illusionary Yu being targeted Mikaela announces that he can protect them. If it means keeping what is dear to him safe then Mikaela feels he can do anything. Declaring Ashera as nothing Mikaela speaks for him to hold still while he devours him.

As Ashera moves in on the house where Mika is, Mikaela in a different location can cause the destination to appear farther away for Ashera by magically extending the distance. Additional manipulation of the world he is in allows Mikaela to produce a towering building to be raised in front of Ashera's path. After stating that it is his world Mikaela is then shocked to realize that Ashera has slashed into and jumped within the interior of the building. Mikaela blasts a hole into the elevator shaft that Ashera is leaping up just in time to see him dart past. Deeming it annoying Mikaela then means to slice him in half and draws his finger to horizontally cleave the entire building into two. Appearing above him Mikaela says that Ashera dies here. Launching a spike towards Ashera he awaits attentively to see it make contact as one of Kiseki-o's coffins has appeared behind Ashera. After his projectile is caught by Ashera and with the opening of the coffin showing Mika with Yu on the other side Mikaela shouts no. Mikaela's left arm is blown off by Gekkouin who has flanked him and he sees the coffin disappear after Ashera passed though it. Aware that Ashera is going to eat Mika and Yu he shouts for him to stop.

Having failed to reach the house where Mika has stabbed his family Mikaela crouches despondently outside in the street. As tears roll down his face his expression changes as he hears Asuramaru repeat that they win. Mikaela offers no resistance as he is surrounded by him, Kiseki-o and Gekkouin where they mean to bind him. He stays still as Yu breaks out of Asuramaru and makes no reaction even while being carried off by Kiseki-o and Gekkouin. Standing and held by Gekkouin he is not moved by Yu turning into a demon with three seraphs behind him, neither the intent for his heart to be crushed or the destructive fight between Yu, Gekkouin and Kiseki-o. Kneeling and left alone with Yu he remains tearful while being consoled. As in previous scenarios Mikaela remains indifferent to Yu placing his hand into his chest and continues to shed tears.

With a red sky version of Nagoya, where Mika found Yu again and became a vampire, Mikaela is active and giggles to draw Yu's attention within a store. Laughing as he runs, Mikaela awaits Yu while balanced on Mika's sword. Addressed as Mika he greets the human Yu hello before asking how he knows his name when he has not told it to him yet. With it said that he does remember Yu since he picked this store, Mikaela answers he has no idea who Yu is. Regarding the location Mikaela questions what is this place then wonders if it is somewhere important to Yu. With Yu sure that Mikaela picked this place, Mikaela is uncertain. Rather than articulate how he has no idea, after a pause Mikaela concludes what does he care, nothing matters at all anymore.

Descending from atop the sword Mikaela arms himself with it and says for them to get started. Since Yu already knows his name Mikaela infers he must know the rules too. Stating he is a demon, Mikaela explains they eat human desires and possess their bodies. Seemingly licking his lips as he explains this, Mikaela adds this makes Yu his prey. Pointing his sword at Yu he orders him to hold still and let him be devoured. Deeming it good Mikaela is satisfied when Yu means to allow him to carry out this act and reiterates for him to hold still.

With Yu deciding to fight instead and readying himself with his sword, Mikaela notes Yu already holds a demon. In response to Yu resolving to not let Mikaela eat him and have him submit instead, Mikaela judges these brave words and tells Yu he will make his deepest desires run wild. Jumping off his platform Mikaela shouts he will eat Yu alive and brings his sword down. After exchanging combat moves Mikaela gains some distance and anticipates Yu's countermeasure. In a defensive stance Mikaela appears surprised when the ceiling behind him is cut away so he takes evasive action.

Springing off of a utility pole and then the side of a building, Mikaela uses his fist to break into the structure to keep himself secured in place. From his vantage point Mikaela can see a derelict city before him encircled by a coliseum wall. Absorbing the scene Mikaela asks himself if this is the inside of that human's heart. Glancing up, Mikaela sees at least twenty one floating black orbs hovering above the arena. Feeling he has seen this place before, Mikaela considers black suns and a warped false soul. Physical reactions matching a heart beat accompany thoughts on what are these memories. Mikaela thinks if that human was right and whether this is the inside of his heart, or whether this is his own world.

In response to the black suns firing individual electrical bolts that culminate in an explosive generation of dark lightning Mikaela leaps into the air. With Yu there to engage him Mikaela wonders who this human is. Considering it further Mikaela guesses he will find out when he eats his desires and possesses him. Regarding the swirling electrical and shadowy like currents around Yu, Mikaela voices that he looks powerful before clashing with him. Mikaela is visualized when Guren was telling Yu how he is probably more powerful than Asuramaru. Floating in the sky with the moon behind him Mikaela has his sword ready as he announces that Yu's soul as a human will be his to control. Bringing it down results in a large scale ranged attack that slams into the building. Striking again to be blocked by Yu, close by Mikaela grasps him by the neck and attempts to bite Yu. Growling that he would tear out his throat Mikaela is then pushed back before invoking the 'A Glint of Light' power. With the shimmering cross in between them Mikaela licks his lips as he grins that Yu cannot dodge. Having the light fired into Yu he relishes that he got him and sets about seeing what is inside that wound. Announcing that he would rip Yu open Mikaela motions with his hand to begin an intent to suck his heart dry.

Looking into the hallways Mikaela stands within the underground vampire city. Thinking that this is familiar Mikaela looks to Ferid lying motionless on the ground with a bullet shot to the head. Mikaela observes the memory of Yu crying over Mika about leaving him after he was injured. Saying that it seems like he does know him Mikaela speaks Yu's name and his family. Getting down to the young Yu's level Mikaela says for the non-interactive memory of Yu to let him see his desires. With black shrouds of words expressing a wish to die Mikaela sees and comments Yu always looked so fragile that he would shatter with a touch. As Mikaela reaches his hand out and says he wants to save Yu, the memory of him is pushed by Mika who told him to escape. Joining the young Yu outside the city Mikaela gets the feeling he cannot see that, the multitude of black suns in the sky. Drawing near to him Mikaela's hand emits a shadowy energy as he speaks to open the wound further. He needs to go deeper to learn who Yu is and Mikaela continues for Yu to show him his past and what happened to him before. Reacting to being struck Mikaela finds that he has been stabbed through the chest by Yu as he is presently and his cursed gear sword.

With Yu calling that he can turn Mika back into a human, along with Akane and the kids as well, Mikaela speaks Yu's name and appears before him back in the exit hall of Sanguinem. He does not remember Yu, only knowing his name but not who he is. Told that this scenario is the inside of his heart and that they are family Mikaela says the family part does feel true. The memory is gone but the feelings of caring are still there. Contemplating how he still does now know who Yu is, neither does Yu know who he himself is either, Mikaela wonders what is that monster up in the sky and what is it Yu has gotten caught up in. Swearing to save Yu he fights him until making contact and being struck in turn. Mikaela's sword decapitates Yu then he raises his light emitting hand where he can go into Yu's heart to his deepest, darkest corners.

Sika Madu
His father who kept his body preserved during the dark ages of Greece. With his emergence as a demon Sika Madu, now as Shikama Doji is active once more. Shikama Doji states that he is trying to save him, as Mikaela is his precious son.

Mikaela Hyakuya
The demon emerged from a flat oval like portal that appeared where Mika’s face was. Resembling him as he was as a child the physical differences are that this demon’s pointed ears were visible. He regards Mika as precious and outright fights to protect the world he is in with an illusionary family. Mikaela was concerned at the possibility of harm befalling Mika.

Guren Ichinose
His emergence is due to Guren attacking Mika with a serum where the demon could emerge. He is described by the Lieutenant Colonel as a Black demon. His status as the first's son is known to Guren and that he is more powerful than any black demon. Ultimately Guren operates on the assumption that everything he knows applies to Mika, where Mikaela is an independent being from him. Guren knows a lot about his background and capabilities but thinks they are Mika's and he does not know about Mikaela's existence.

Mahiru Hiragi
The demons existence and arrival seem expected by Mahiru and his entrance into the world is observed by her.

Kiseki-o
Seeing one of this demon's coffins first Mikaela conjures weapons of his own to stab through it and into Kiseki-o on the other side of the opening. He views him as an invader yet would ignore him as Miaela focused on engaging Asuramaru. Such lack of attention would result in Kiseki-o being able to use his coffins to transport Asuramaru and have himself directly attacked by Gekkouin. He was indifferent to Kiseki-o and Gekkouin's idea to have his heart crushed.

Asuramaru
He views Asuramaru as an invader and was chased by him later. Taunted by him, Mikaela responds by firing attacks at him and impedes Ashera's path to reaching Mika and Yu. Mikaela follows Ashera into a building and maintains his offensive stance but expresses annoyance when Ashera avoids an attack.

"You will "go" nowhere. I will kill you... And take your desires."

- Responding to Asuramaru's willingness to fight

On more than one occasion Mikaela declared that he would kill and devour Asuramaru and told him to hold still for that purpose.

Gekkouin
He views Gekkouin as an invader and was later attacked by him but as effortlessly capable of simply catching his arrows. With Mikaela focused on Ashera and more so by Mika and the illusionary Yu before him he would not notice let alone defend against an assault and sustain damage to his arm from Gekkouin.

Yūichirō Hyakuya
Rescued physically from three black demons by Yu he makes no acknowledgement of his presence. In a separate environment there is a marked difference in behaviour. Laughter is seemingly used to draw Yu to a location Mikaela awaits him in.

"Hello human. How do you know my name when I haven't told it to you yet?"

- Responding to being called 'Mika' he is also familiar with humans and wonders how Yu knew his name while also saying he has no idea who he is.

Unfamiliar with Yu and not interested in exploring what they may know about one another, Mikaela speaks to Yu as a demon out to possess a human. He asks Yu to let him devour him before initiating an attack. Mikaela pulls away from the battle and after seeing an arena around the city as well as black suns he wonders who this human is.

Powers and Abilities
Regarded as a rank one demon this black demon could generate a debilitating noise which brought a third progenitor vampire’s retreat to an end. His voice was something only Krul could hear and the devitalizing pain was probably a factor in her eventually losing consciousness. The demon’s heightened instincts allowed it to rather quickly gauge what it needed to do in terms of acquiring a food source.

Large crosses with all four ends tapered into sharp points were used as weapons. His reaction to sensing a new coffin was to treat it the same namely strike through it as fast as possible. His physically fast reflexes allow him to seize multiple arrows from out the air even with one inches from his face. Physically he can also use his fingers to blast his way into a building and slice clean through it as well.
 * A Glint of Light - this verbal incantation generated a single very large, radiating with a sharp aura, cross that was used to blast a straight column of power across the landscape. When a thinner strand of light connected with Yu the trajectory ended with him as the light enveloped Yu.

Within what he called his world Mikaela displayed the ability to physically extend the distance it took for someone to reach a destination. He could also cause multiple huge modern buildings to appear instantaneously which were fully interiorly fitted with mall like features and an elevator. Mikaela could sense Ashera's presence within the building and head him off at sections.

He is capable of wielding a sword as he did against Yu. The force of this in circumstances could send Yu hurtling into a building. A huge ranged power could be emitted from it from where Mikaela was in the air. This could be used in close quarters as well which could be blocked by a cursed gear sword.

When attempting to possess a human it would be a clash of hearts not weapons. If Mikaela is struc it would weaken his heart. Were he able to strike Yu then he was capable of intensifying his worst trauma, as a demon his wounds inflicted were poisoned.
