Magiquone, localized as Arfoire, serves as a recurring antagonist across multiple dimensions. Her core identity embodies digital piracy, reflected in her Japanese name referencing "Magicon" devices and her English name derived from the R4 flash cartridge. This drives her goal of undermining the goddesses representing legitimate gaming platforms by creating bootleg copies to drain their Share Energy. Originally presented as Gamindustri's sole goddess in the Super Dimension, her relationship with Histoire fractured after Gamindustri divided into four nations. This led to her descent into antagonism, fueled by a craving to reclaim sole dominion. An alternate backstory in Re;Birth1 reimagines her as a human hero who absorbed the original goddess's power, inheriting its corrupting madness and triggering her villainous turn. Across dimensions, her core motivation remains omnicidal: the annihilation of Gamindustri and its protectors. In the Hyperdimension timeline, she manifests as the near-mindless Deity of Sin, an entity of pure destruction orchestrated by the ASIC syndicate (Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime). This form acts as a last resort for other iterations, like the Zero Dimension version who merges with remnants of Rei Ryghts' power. The Ultra Dimension variant combines traits from earlier versions but exhibits significant villain decay, often functioning as a comedic foil due to traumatic encounters and futile schemes, such as deploying sentient eggplants against Neptune. Personality traits persist: low tolerance for failure, sore loser tendencies, dramatic entrances punctuated by her signature laugh ("Haaaaaah ha ha ha ha ha!"), and proneness to scenery-chewing declarations. Key berserk buttons include Neptune's existence (especially name mispronunciations) and being called an "old hag." Zero Dimension Magiquone displays rare vulnerability, shedding tears when Nepgear correctly says her name. Her transformations reflect escalating threats. The original game reveals a draconic form, while the Deity of Sin is a colossal, chaotic monstrosity. Later appearances introduce fusion evolutions: merging with Dark Purple in Zero Dimension, combining with her alternate self in *Sisters vs Sisters*, and uniting with Psychostock to become Psyfoire in *Game Maker R:Evolution*. These designs are frequently reused for other antagonists. Beyond main games, Magiquone appears as president of Ar Co. and head of Pirate Makers in *Game Maker R:Evolution*. She antagonizes protagonists in literary works like *Gakuen Game Neptune: Katsudou Diary*, establishing "Shadow Gaministrators" to sabotage the goddesses' game development using zombie armies and kidnappings. Crossovers like *Sangoku Taisen Smash!* feature her as a playable unit. She ranked first in a 2022 franchise "true villain" poll. Adaptational differences exist. The anime composites elements from multiple game versions, while the Re;Birth1 True Ending allows Neptune to purge her corruption, enabling reconciliation—a contrast to her typical demise. Despite dimensional variances, her role as a persistent embodiment of piracy's destructive impact endures.
