Description
Sekhmet, the Witch of Sloth, stands as one of the Witches of Sin. Her appearance is defined by magenta eyes and extraordinarily long, unkempt magenta hair that trails past her feet, frequently obscuring her face. She possesses pale skin with a bluish-white, unhealthy complexion. Typically clad in a dirty, frayed black tunic or floor-length dress, her entire demeanor exudes languid gloom. This aura was so pronounced that Subaru initially mistook her for a mass of magenta fur upon their first meeting.
Born into a clan of Giants tasked with reviving their founder "God," Sekhmet was abandoned in the mountains after failing this duty. Later captured by men and brought to a city, she learned human ways and emotions. Misinterpreting her feelings of gratitude and obligation toward these men, she killed them by snapping their necks. Fueled by unrecognized hatred and a desire for vengeance, she returned to exterminate her clan. She then buried the men she had killed, finding peace and happiness in solitude.
Over four centuries ago, Sekhmet employed her power to forcibly drive dragons, including the Divine Dragon Volcanica, beyond the Great Waterfall to secure undisturbed rest. This act triggered a battle with Volcanica that concluded with her falling from the Great Waterfall to her death. Her soul was subsequently collected and preserved by the Witch of Greed, Echidna, within the Castle of Dreams in the Sanctuary. Following the events of Arc 4, her soul was transferred into a pyroxene crystal necklace worn by Echidna's new identity, Omega.
Sekhmet embodies extreme sloth, neglecting even fundamental self-care like bathing, necessitating intervention from the Witch of Pride, Typhon, who acted as a mother figure. She finds the act of breathing laborious and perpetually emanates a gloomy aura. Despite her profound lethargy, she displays maturity and philosophical insight. During the Witches' Tea Party in Echidna's realm, she served as a neutral mediator, ensuring fairness. She intervened to suppress an enraged manifestation of Satella and cautioned Subaru about Echidna's incomplete honesty regarding a proposed contract. While typically avoiding active involvement, Sekhmet sided with Subaru and Typhon when emotionally compelled.
Her primary ability is the Authority of Sloth, enabling her to generate and telekinetically control invisible, hand-like appendages capable of exerting immense force over vast distances. This power vastly surpasses those of her successors in speed, range, and area of effect. She used it to effortlessly restrain the Witch of Wrath, Minerva, and to battle Volcanica extensively. Echidna stated Sekhmet could instantly defeat all other Witches of Sin combined except Satella, making her the strongest among them.
Sekhmet is the tallest of the Witches. Her name references both the asteroid 5381 Sekhmet and the Egyptian warrior goddess of the same name. The series' author ranked her as the fourth-strongest character in 2014. Despite her power, she was viewed as a calamity due to collateral damage incurred during attempts to stop Typhon's rampages.
