Kyrie Ushiromiya

"For the sake of love, a woman should be prepared to kill at least once in her life."

- Kyrie Ushiromiya,

Kyrie Ushiromiya (右代宮 霧江) is Rudolf’s second wife. She had already worked alongside him for some time before the death of his first wife, at which time she openly took the position of his wife. She has served as Rudolf’s right hand in several shady pieces of business, guiding them to success. She is quick-thinking and well-trusted by her husband.

Background
Kyrie had originally been in a relationship with Rudolf before he met Asumu. When he got her pregnant, he broke off his relationship with Kyrie and became engaged to Asumu. Kyrie was pregnant herself and her delivery date was the same as Asumu's. Furthermore, Kyrie has a sporadic diet, resulting in irregular periods; As a result, she was unaware of her pregnancy until well after Asumu had announced her own.

Kyrie believed that, on their delivery date, Asumu had given birth to Battler Ushiromiya and her own child was stillborn. Unbeknownst to her, however, Rudolf had swapped their children at the hospital in order to preserve his relationship with Asumu.

After Asumu passed away, Rudolf immediately remarried with Kyrie. While she is also Ange Ushiromiya's mother, Kyrie never cared much for Ange and instead saw Ange as a means of keeping Rudolf at her side.

Appearance
Kyrie appears as a woman with fair skin and short, white hair. She wears a long black coat over a long purple shirt, a belt, and a black tie decorated with a cross. Because she married into the Ushiromiya family, Kyrie is not allowed to wear the One-Winged Eagle on her person.

Personality
Kyrie is very vindictive, especially towards Asumu. Some time after Asumu's marriage to Rudolf, Kyrie had plotted to murder her, however Asumu died before Kyrie had the opportunity to do so. When she believed that Battler Ushiromiya was Asumu's son, she harbored a longstanding dislike for him simply because of his relation to Asumu. She is notably cold and calculating, especially in matters of business.

Kyrie later goes to the mansion with Rudolf and Hideyoshi to retrieve food, and EVA-Beatrice summons Leviathan and Belphegor to fight them. Kyrie is barely able to keep up with Leviathan's speed, but after they establish which one has more envy, Kyrie manages to shoot down the demon stake with no effort.

Alliance of the Golden Witch
Kyrie and several others are captured by Gaap and sent to the underground prison in Kuwadorian. After escaping, the Chiester Sisters kill Nanjo, Kanon, Shannon, and Krauss and chase Kyrie into a guestroom.

However, Jessica manages to burn her to death after she locks herself in Krauss's study.

Trivia

 * During her battle with Leviathan in, Kyrie's perception of time is warped by Leviathan's envy. Since Leviathan power is derived from her envy of her sisters, she could travel at the speed of sound. However, since Kyrie had been envious of Asumu ever since Battler's birth 18 years prior, her envy gave her abilities 938 times greater than Leviathan's.
 * Though she herself doesn't smoke, Kyrie carries a lighter so that she can light her husband's cigarettes.
 * Kyrie is skilled with using lever-action rifles.
