Description
Dearche, known as Material-D or Lord Dearche, exists across distinct franchise continuities.
In the portable game continuity (Battle of Aces, Gears of Destiny), she manifests as a materialized program of System U-D, serving as the core unit of the Book of Darkness. Her form clones Hayate Yagami, featuring gray hair and contracted pupils. She declares herself the "mother and origin" of the Wolkenritter, displaying a vain, arrogant, and hot-headed personality, frequently employing majestic plural self-reference and viewing others as servants. Utilizing Ancient Belka magic through devices like Yersiniakreuz and the Tome of the Purple Sky, her magic shifts from white to black after gaining new powers. Her spells include Arondight, Excalibur, Doom Bringer, and Majesty of the Lord, with protective armor designated Diabolique.
Within the movie continuity (Reflection, Detonation), her origin diverges significantly. Dearche materializes as the "Soul of King" from the Tome of the Night Sky's pages, referencing Hayate's appearance and magic. Her backstory reveals she was originally a cat living with Yuri Eberwein and Iris on Eltoria. Forty years prior, during a conflict involving Phil Maxwell, she and another cat (Levi) bit Phil to protect Yuri, then hid inside the Book of Darkness at Yuri's instruction, where they perished. This history fuels her movie motivation to "regain lost power." Her Diabolique armor features a distinct chest plate design, and she wields the Blast Claw alongside her tome.
Across both game and movie continuities, Dearche commands two vassals: Stern the Destructor (Material-S) and Levi the Slasher (Material-L). She evolves from an omnicidal antagonist in Battle of Aces to an anti-hero following a Heel–Face Turn in Gears of Destiny. Post-turn, she aids in restoring Eltoria alongside Yuri Eberwein, driven by atonement and gratitude. A pivotal moment sees her absorb the powers of Stern and Levi as they sacrifice themselves, enhancing her abilities.
In the Brave Duel continuity (INNOCENT manga), she appears as Dearche Kings Claudia, an international student at Private Tenō Middle School in Uminari City. She retains her regal demeanor but exhibits kindness, notably cooking curry for friends at the Granz Lab. She harbors a one-sided rivalry with Hayate Yagami due to their similar appearance and past defeats. Her magic involves the Tome of the Purple Sky and Yersiniakreuz, utilizing the avatar "Lord Of Glory" with purplish-black energy.
