Featherine Augustus Aurora

"Just who is weaving this tale? ...Am I for you? Or are you for me?"

- Featherine Augustus Aurora,

Featherine Augustus Aurora (フェザリーヌ アウグストゥス アウローラ) is an extremely powerful witch who can freely rewrite reality. She appears in the last three episodes of as an observer and antagonist. She also appears in as the being Eua.

Background
Featherine is a godlike witch whose near-infinite life and nigh-omnipotence require her to wear a memory aid device which maintains her name, appearance, and personality across her existence. Featherine sees even high planes of existence such as Purgatorio as a script which she can modify at will.

In, she is suddenly spawned into existence when Satoko interacts with a broken horn in the Saiguden. As such, she has no name until she asks Satoko to name her, which she accidentally does by mumbling in confusion.

Appearance
Featherine appears as a tall woman with long, dark purple hair stylized in a hime cut. She wears an elaborate pink dress with multicolored highlights along with a green sash adorned with a ceremonial medal. She has a silver device that floats around her head that functions as a memory aid device.

Personality
Featherine acts in accordance with her status as a being of nigh-omnipotence and can be condescending to the beings who speak to her. Featherine claims that she needs to constantly think or else she will perish. She often refers to others as "child of man," regardless of whether they are actually human or not (e.g. she refers to Bernkastel as "child of man" during the ???? of ). Featherine's power is so vast that even witches such as Lambdadelta are afraid of going against her.

Dawn of the Golden Witch
Featherine appears to Ange Ushiromiya in the form of Tohya Hachijo. After Ange deduces that Hachijo is a witch, she reveals her true form. Featherine then asks Ange to serve as her miko and read her the story titled Dawn of the Golden Witch. As the two read, they form various theories as to what Battler's sin was. When Ange finishes reading, she leaves and wistfully hopes to see Featherine again one day.

In the ????, Featherine invites Bernkastel to her study and tells her that she has been observing all of the games so far. Having formulated her own theories, Featherine tells Bernkastel that she wants to check her theories against the true answers of the games. Bernkastel agrees to show her the answers in the form of a unique Game Board on which Bernkastel is the Game Master.

Requiem of the Golden Witch
Featherine is a silent observer to most of, watching as Willard H. Wright attempts to solve the game designed by Bernkastel.

Twilight of the Golden Witch
Featherine returns, at Bernkastel's request, to throw a party in celebration of the opening of the Book of the Single Truth.

Satokowashi-hen
Featherine's first appearance in is as an unnamed being in, wherein she appears to Satoko Houjou after Satoko interacts with an object in the Saiguden. She gifts her with the power to travel between fragments, similar to what Rika is able to do. After Satoko opts to view every fragment that Rika experienced, she gives Satoko the ability to loop alongside the same iteration of Rika as long as the two die shortly after each other. Some time later, she asks Satoko to name her; Satoko mumbles in confusion and she accepts this as the name "Eua."
