Gyokuen Ren

Gyokuen Ren was the widow of the two previous Emperors of the Kou Empire and succeeded them as Empress Regnant. After the births of her two sons, she was possessed by her ancestor Arba, who had been sealed by Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham in another world with Ill Ilah and The Organization for one thousand years. Under Arba's influence, she was the leader and progenitor of the organization, Al-Thamen, until she was ultimately killed by Hakuryuu Ren. Gyokuen is a slim, youthful woman of average height. She has pale blue eyes, which turn black and glow red when she reveals her corrupted side. She has short, dark blue hair, with two long braids tied in loops. She has thin eyebrows, a mole on her chin, and usually wears red lipstick. She also wears a small hat decorated with a flower-shaped jewel, and floor-length pink and white robes. She is noted for being a great beauty. It is uncertain what was Gyokuen's original personality was, before Arba possessed her. In Hakuryuu's memories, Gyokuen appeared as a gentle and loving mother, protective of and showing care towards Hakuryuu and Hakuei after they survived the fire that killed their father along with Hakuyuu and Hakuren. However, after being possessed by Arba, Gyokuen's personality transformed into something twisted, deceitful, cunning, sinister and cold; as she was smiling while pretending to cry as she is appointed the Third Emperor, and flirting with her stepson Kouen. According to Hakuryuu, Gyokuen is a woman who cares nothing for her children, and, she is willing to do anything to gain and maintain power - going so far as to kill her own children and husband. When she was revealed to be possessed by Arba, it becomes clear that Arba manipulated her into committing those acts of treachery for the purpose of resurrecting Ill Ilah, and destroying the world created by Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham's will, in order to oppose destiny.
