Description
John V. Neumann serves as the leader of the Forest of the Greats, an organization composed of Returners who utilize the talents of history's most brilliant figures to eliminate dangerous Sinner-type Returners and maintain global peace. She is one of the five founding members of this group and assumed the position of leader following the death of her predecessor, Seiya Senji. Despite her name and the legacy it carries, Neumann is depicted as a young woman with blue or green hair and eyes, typically seen in a dress and cravat while seated in a wheelchair.
Her personality is marked by a calm, analytical demeanor befitting her role as the strategic mastermind of the organization. She bears the weight of command with a quiet confidence, issuing precise instructions to her allies in the field. This ability is rooted in her primary talent, Prediction Calculation, which allows her to convert all observable data from the environment, such as air resistance, gravity, and even the behavioral patterns of opponents, into numerical values. By processing these variables, she can calculate the most likely future developments and assign specific probabilities to the outcomes of different actions. This power enables her to guide ordinary humans and fellow Returners through combat scenarios with extraordinary effectiveness, allowing them to evade and counter attacks that would otherwise be impossible for them to handle.
Neumann's second talent, The Master of Computers, is a direct manifestation of the historical John von Neumann’s legacy as the father of the modern computer. This ability gives her near-total dominion over all existing von Neumann-type computer systems. She can breach top-level security firewalls of military agencies like the Black Edge Unit without being traced, replace global satellite imagery with fabricated footage, and simultaneously hijack every digital screen on the planet to broadcast messages to all of humanity in real time. However, this power has notable limitations. It is ineffective against quantum computers, which operate on a fundamentally different architecture, and it cannot reach devices in areas without any signal reception.
As a Perfect Returner, Neumann exists permanently in her transformed state, with petals continuously releasing from her throat as a visible sign of her active power. Her physical capabilities remain at a standard human level, making her physically vulnerable despite her immense intellectual authority. She relies entirely on her strategic mind and the combat abilities of the Returners under her command, such as Touya Senji and Haito Luo Buffett, to whom she assigns missions like the elimination of dangerous targets. Her relationships with other Greats, including Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, are central to the organization's function, as she coordinates their efforts from a central command post. The loss of key allies and the defection of former comrades, including the previous leader who later sided with the Sinners, are significant developments that impact her leadership and the direction of the conflict.
