Description
Bitter Sweety Sweet, whose name is often presented as Bitter Sweety Sweet, is a supporting character in the anime Fairy Gone. She operates as a successful businesswoman, but this public-facing career serves as a cover for her true role as an associate member of the Gui Carlin mafia group. Her professional and underworld identities allow her to move fluidly between the legitimate and criminal spheres.
In terms of personality, Sweety is defined by a stark duality. On the surface, she often presents herself as friendly, flirty, and sociable, using charm and affability as tools for social manipulation. However, this cheerful exterior masks a cold, calculating, and ruthless operative. When on a mission, she has no hesitation in using lethal force against her targets, even in public spaces, and displays a distinct lack of sentimentality. Her actions are consistently guided by self-interest and a pragmatic, almost clinical, approach to achieving her goals.
Her primary motivation throughout the story is the acquisition of the pages of the Black Fairy Tome, an ancient and forbidden artifact containing dangerous knowledge about fairies. This singular obsession drives her into direct conflict with multiple factions, including the government's fairy enforcement agency, Dorothea, and rival criminal organizations like Arcame. She is not driven by ideology but by the desire to possess this powerful object for her own advantage.
Sweety plays a significant antagonistic role, particularly in the early and middle parts of the series. She is first introduced while pursuing the same target as the protagonists, Free Underbar and Marlya Noel, leading to a tense confrontation. Her role evolves as she forms temporary and highly situational alliances. For instance, she cooperates with Dorothea agents during a raid on the estate of Gilbert Warlock to secure a fragment of the Black Fairy Tome, only to betray them at the critical moment, sealing herself behind a secret door to escape with the prize. Later, she aligns herself with rogue operatives Damien Carme and Veronica Thorn, though she retreats when the situation becomes unfavorable.
Her key relationships are almost entirely transactional. She crosses paths with Free Underbar repeatedly, with their encounters marked by mutual recognition of each other's skills and a wary, competitive respect. She has been known to hire others, such as the assassin Patricia Pearl, for specific tasks. Her most significant relationship development occurs near the end of the series, when she turns on her own organization. After falling out with the Gui Carlin mafia, she brokers a strategic deal with Dorothea, trading valuable intelligence on the mafia's operations in exchange for full immunity from prosecution. This pragmatic decision allows her to continue her activities unhindered in the city of Mazria, where she plans to exploit the final conflicts over the Black Fairy Tome for her own gain.
Throughout the series, Sweety demonstrates notable development. She begins as a direct antagonist and a formidable obstacle for the main characters, but her journey sees her transition into a wildcard and an uneasy ally of convenience. Her ultimate survival and ability to negotiate a deal for her freedom highlight her intelligence and her primary drive for self-preservation and personal advancement over loyalty to any group or cause.
As a Fairy Soldier, Sweety possesses several notable abilities. She is a highly skilled combatant, proficient with both a sword and a firearm, making her dangerous at any range. Her physical capabilities are considerable, allowing her to fight on equal terms with former Fairy Soldier elites like Free Underbar. She also possesses an eidetic, or photographic, memory, which aids her in her work as an information broker and thief. Her true power comes from her contract with a fairy named Skriker. Skriker has a unique and fearsome ability: it can envelop an opponent in a black fog and reflect any damage inflicted upon it back to the attacker. This power makes attacking Sweety directly a high-risk endeavor. However, this ability creates a critical vulnerability, as the bond is reciprocal. Any damage sustained by her fairy, Skriker, is also inflicted upon Sweety herself, creating a dangerous feedback loop she must manage in battle.
