OVA
Description
Lobelia Carlini, alias "the Flame Demon," serves in the Paris Combat Revue's Fleur Division. Born in Transylvania, Romania, to a Romanian father and an Italian mother of shamanic descent, persecution drove her from home after her family's clan faced false vampirism accusations. Orphaned, she adopted a nomadic life of crime, gaining notoriety across Europe as a pyrokinetic thief specializing in pickpocketing and gambling—never murder. Parisian authorities captured her on May 5, 1924, sentencing her to 1,000 years imprisonment under identifier "192455631" at La Santé Prison.
Isabel "Grand-Mère" Lilac intervened, securing Lobelia's reduced sentence in exchange for joining the Combat Revue. Lobelia accepted under duress, adopting the stage name "Safir" for performances at Le Chattes Noires; her signature act "La bohème" reflected her Romani roots.
Lobelia presents a harsh, abrasive exterior marked by blunt speech, fierce competitiveness, and frequent insults. She openly indulges in alcohol and displays greed, habitually stealing money or valuables. Beneath this lies deep empathy for the impoverished and her comrades. Her relationship with teammate Erica Fontaine is complex: Lobelia mocks Erica's optimism yet acknowledges her as the first to offer genuine care. This contrasts sharply with her contentious "One-Thousand-Days War" dynamic with Glycine Bleumer, though she prioritizes the team when necessary.
Character development reveals latent selflessness. Lobelia gradually bonds with the Combat Revue, demonstrating loyalty through actions like protecting Erica or suppressing her pride for the team's benefit. In one narrative conclusion, she voluntarily surrenders to serve her remaining sentence, seeking personal redemption and a symbolic "rebirth" into freedom.
In combat, Lobelia pilots a green mechanized Koubu unit armed with extendable claws. She wields pyrokinetic abilities to generate flames, unleashing wide-area explosive special attacks effective against groups. Her fighting style lacks range but compensates with raw power. Her background, personality, and relationships remain consistent in portrayals across documented media.
