Description
Cherice Adjani, also known as Scheris Adjani, is a supporting character from the anime Scryed. She is a young woman with short blue hair that is typically kept at ear length, complemented by light blue eyes. Her appearance often includes a distinctive yellow and white triangular hair clip. Within the story, she is depicted as being around fifteen to twenty years old and stands approximately five feet four inches tall.
Her background is rooted in tragedy and rescue. Originally a native of the Lost Ground region known as Altar, she possessed an Alter ability from a young age. While living as a Native Alter, she was captured by a hostile group of other Alter users and was subjected to severe mistreatment, being treated as a plaything and left near death. Her life was saved by the Alter user Ryuho, who rescued her during a raid. This pivotal event led her to join the special organization HOLY on his recommendation, forever linking her fate to his.
In terms of personality, Cherice is generally kind, cheerful, and considerate, serving as a gentle foil to Ryuho's more abrasive demeanor. Despite her laid-back attitude, she is deeply serious about her duties as a member of HOLY. Her most defining personal trait is her profound devotion to Ryuho, who she views not only as her savior but also as a romantic interest. This attachment sometimes manifests as a rivalry with Mimori Kiryu, Ryuho's childhood friend, and can lead to intense, yandere-like tendencies where her affection becomes possessive.
Cherice's primary motivation throughout the series is to support Ryuho and remain by his side. Her role in the story is largely that of support staff and a mental anchor for Ryuho. While she is a capable fighter in her own right, proficient enough to easily handle ordinary adult opponents, her unique Alter ability prevents her from taking a front-line combat role. She works diligently behind the scenes, assisting other HOLY members with her talents.
Her most notable ability is her Alter, named Eternal Devote. This power is highly specialized and cannot be used offensively in a conventional manner. Its primary function is to amplify the abilities of other Alter users, making them stronger or helping to heal them. However, this power comes with extreme drawbacks. Using it even once is physically draining, causing her to stumble from exhaustion. The ability also requires direct physical contact to activate, leaving her vulnerable. In the manga adaptation, her Alter is shown to have additional depths and variations, including the ability to fuse with another user to boost their power or, when her mind is corrupted, to weaken and absorb the Alters of others.
Cherice undergoes a crucial and tragic development near the climax of the story. Following an intense battle, Ryuho is left dead. In a final, desperate act of devotion, Cherice fully manifests her Alter in its most powerful physical form, which appears as a massive, angel-like entity. Using this full power, she sacrifices her own life force to revive him, healing his body at the cost of her own annihilation. The name of her ability, Eternal Devote, foreshadows this ultimate sacrifice, as she gives everything she has for the person she loves. Her fate differs between the anime and manga continuities. In the anime, this sacrifice results in her complete disappearance. In the manga, however, she survives the process and remains with Ryuho after using her power in this way.
