Description
Philippite, also known as Philip, stands as heir to the Burgundy household and a central figure in the narrative. Initially characterized by timidity and nervousness, she faces ridicule for perceived incompetence. Her trajectory shifts dramatically following her father's assassination, propelling her into leadership. She inherits her father's ambition to forge the Burgundian Empire, a drive that includes directing assassins against Jeanne d'Arc to seize the Philosopher's Stone.
Her character undergoes a profound transformation when she becomes a Ulysses—a being endowed with immense alchemical power. This metamorphosis is achieved using an ancient cursed helmet, the Saint Grail, and an elixir crafted by Montmorency. Embracing this new power, she adopts the alias "Noire," embodying a complete inversion of her former self. As Noire, she exhibits brutality and takes distinct pleasure in causing suffering, particularly during combat.
Philippite's abilities flow from her Ulysses power. The Saint Grail helmet grants near-invulnerability through potent healing capabilities, rendering her resistant to mortal wounds. This complements her enhanced combat prowess as the "Dark Ulysses," where she demonstrates savage efficiency and enjoys inflicting pain on enemies. Her strategic acumen is evident in her role as commander and advisor to the Duke of Burgundy, manipulating events to advance both personal and political agendas.
Key relationships define her arc. She shares a history as one of Montmorency's childhood friends. However, after the Battle of Azincourt, her family betrays the French Valois monarchy, aligning with the English faction. This betrayal positions her antagonistically against former allies, including Montmorency, Jeanne d'Arc, and Charlotte de Valois. Her motivations intertwine familial loyalty, a sense of entitlement stemming from her Valois lineage, and a potent desire for power.
Throughout the conflict, she leverages her Ulysses abilities to influence the war's trajectory, embodying themes of betrayal and power's corrupting nature. Her dual identity—contrasting Philippite's vulnerability with Noire's ruthlessness—highlights her internal and external struggles within the narrative's political and supernatural conflicts.
