Movie
Description
Daidalos is the creator of first-generation Angeloids like Ikaros, Nymph, Astraea, and Chaos, whom she views as her daughters. Her name references the Greek myth of Daedalus, father of Icarus. As Synapse's top scientist, she developed key technologies, including the Rule – a wish-granting system intended to combat the existential despair of Synapse's inhabitants after they achieved all desires over their ageless existence. This backfired catastrophically, triggering mass suicides that drastically reduced Synapse's population. In response, Daidalos helped recreate the universe and create humanity alongside Angeloids for diversion. However, Synapse's residents eventually grew envious of human capacity for dreams and entered a perpetual dream state.
She projected her consciousness into an artificial human on Earth, living a dream life as Sohara Mitsuki, Tomoki Sakurai's childhood friend who succumbed to illness. When this dream identity "died," she was erased from human memories. To prevent Tomoki from forgetting her, Daidalos created a physical clone of her dream identity—the Sohara appearing in the series—and sent it to Earth. This connection motivates her to seek Tomoki's help in freeing her Angeloid creations from Synapse's control. She frequently appears in his dreams as an ethereal presence, communicating warnings or requests before vanishing upon his awakening. These encounters forge a deep, elusive bond between them, framed within the narrative as a form of love.
Operating covertly from a shielded sanctuary within Synapse, she avoids direct confrontation with its rulers, especially her former research partner and adversary Minos, due to prohibitions against contacting "Downers" (humans). Despite this, she covertly intervenes to protect others, like rescuing Eishirou Sugata from Harpies. Her personality is characterized by calmness, exceptional intelligence, and genuine care for her Angeloids and Synapse's remaining inhabitants, contrasting with her disdain for tyranny. She rarely walks or stands, typically using a floating cloud-like vehicle for mobility, implied due to frail health.
In the concluding narrative of *Eternally My Master*, she observes events from Synapse. She expresses relief when Tomoki restores his bond with Ikaros after temporarily severing it, fulfilling her original goal in sending Ikaros to him—securing the Angeloid's freedom while providing Tomoki emotional support. Her surveillance underscores her ongoing protective role and quiet investment in the relationships between Tomoki and her creations. Her true identity as the original Sohara remains concealed until the series finale, a revelation that recontextualizes her motivations and connection to Tomoki throughout the story.
