Description
Typhon, the Witch of Pride, lived four hundred years before the main events as one of the original Witches of Sin. Her name originates from the celestial body 42355 Typhon. She generally enjoyed positive relationships with her fellow witches, reserving intense hatred solely for the Witch of Envy, Satella. Typhon used affectionate nicknames she coined for them, calling Satella "Tella," Echidna "Dona," and Daphne "Daph." Her closest bond was with Sekhmet, who served as a maternal figure; Typhon frequently bathed Sekhmet due to her aversion to the task. This bond fueled Typhon's violent defense of their shared belief in an individual's right to self-harm, leading her to shatter Minerva's hand when Minerva tried to forcibly heal Natsuki Subaru.
Her Authority of Pride allowed her to physically judge the "weight" of a person's sins through touch. Deeming someone guilty caused their body to fracture and disintegrate proportionate to their sins. This judgment operated on a literal interpretation of guilt, unaffected by the target's own moral perceptions. She judged Subaru as possessing a "kind heart" due to his negative self-view contrasting with selfless actions, sparing him. Conversely, her power could inflict catastrophic damage, reportedly capable of destroying entire cities within days via repeated judgments.
Typhon met her end drowning in a massive flood deliberately triggered by Priestella's defensive mechanisms, a city engineered as a trap for entities like Witches. Her preserved remains—a single withered arm—rested within the city's Great Temple. This arm possessed inherent power acting as the foundational energy source stabilizing Priestella; its removal risked catastrophic structural collapse potentially exceeding the scale of the flood that killed her.
Centuries later, her remains became a target for the Witch Cult during their siege of Priestella. Theories suggest their motives involved harnessing her power to unseal Satella or access/awaken the Pride Witch Factor, particularly given the long vacancy of the Pride Archbishop position.
Typhon displayed a childlike demeanor marked by curiosity and directness. Upon meeting Subaru, she immediately nicknamed him "Baru" and expressed fondness. She showed empathy, comforting him when he cried and demanding to know who caused his distress to punish them. Her moral framework appeared simplistic, interpreting actions through a binary lens of innocence versus guilt.
