Description
Ania Fortuna is a prominent character in the second season of the anime, known for her significant development and crucial role in the unfolding events. Her full name is Ania Fortuna Somesheru Miku Crowzenbruhi, though she is often called Nia for short. She is a demon, specifically a type known as a Luck-eater, which grants her the ability to consume the luck of people and influence the balance between fortunate and unfortunate individuals.
Physically, Ania is a blonde-haired demon who initially appears as a young girl. Her background is rooted in a family of scholars whose profession is the study of Asura Machina control systems, and she herself is a genius in this field. Her motivations are twofold when she is introduced. Officially, she is sent to the school that Tomoharu Natsume attends to study a specific Asura Machina that has absorbed a Stabilizer. However, her personal and primary reason for coming to Japan is to search for her missing sister, Christina Fortuna.
In the story of Asura Cryin' 2, Ania's role evolves from a transfer student placed under Tomoharu's care for her protection from demon hunters into a figure of immense importance. Her true significance becomes apparent when she is transported from the second world to the first world, an event that occurs five years before the arrival of the main characters. During this period, she matures and becomes known as the Witch of La Croix, joining an institution of the same name. In this older form, she utilizes research data left behind by her sister to become the main developer of the Asura Machina, creating a total of twenty-one of these powerful devices to fulfill a wish for the Tomoharu of the first world.
Key relationships heavily define her character arc. Her bond with Tomoharu Natsume is central; she develops romantic feelings for him, and before he departs for a critical final battle, she kisses him to transfer her luck to him. Her search for her sister, Christina, is the driving force behind her initial actions, and acquiring Christina's research data is a pivotal moment that allows her to contribute to creating the Asura Machina.
Ania undergoes notable development, primarily defined by her physical and emotional journey between worlds. Separated from her friends and aged by five years in the first world, she becomes a more somber and determined figure, solely focused on creating the Asura Machina to ensure a specific future. Despite her growth, after the final conflict is resolved, she returns to her original, younger appearance, a change she reflects upon with a sense of wistfulness.
Her most notable ability is her nature as a Luck-eater demon, which allows her to manipulate luck. However, her most impactful talent is her genius-level intellect and expertise in the mechanics of Asura Machina, making her the primary creator of these world-altering devices and the inventor of a tool known as the Splitter, which plays a key role in the series' resolution.
