—Lambdadelta, End of the Golden Witch

Lambdadelta (ラムダデルタ, Ramudaderuta) is an extremely powerful witch who was once known as the strongest in the universe. She first appears in Turn of the Golden Witch as a sponsor to Beatrice.

Profile

Background

Similar to Bernkastel, Lambdadelta suffers from some degree of trauma due to her experience within a Logic Error. She claims that she plays the sadistic games that she does in order to escape boredom as boredom leads to her remembering her time in the Logic Error.

Appearance

Lambdadelta appears as a young girl with bobbed blonde hair and red eyes. She wears a pink dress adorned with leaves and a jack-o-lantern along with a pink hat and elbow-length black gloves. Her clothing is covered in red ribbons of various sizes.

Personality

Lambdadelta typically maintains a childish personality around the other witches, however she hides a sadistic side and only reveals it when she wants to be serious. She is emotionally attached to Bernkastel as she is the only other witch who has successfully escaped a Logic Error. Unlike Bernkastel, Lambdadelta has maintained countless friendships over the course of her life, many of whom are powerful entities in their own right.

Plot

Turn of the Golden Witch

Lambdadelta first appears in the Hidden Tea Party of Turn of the Golden Witch. She is invited by Beatrice to assist her in defeating Bernkastel.

Banquet of the Golden Witch

Lambdadelta occasionally appears during Banquet of the Golden Witch to comment on how the game is progressing. During the Tea Party, Lambdadelta expresses her annoyance at how how lackadaisically Beatrice is playing the game and demands that she play future games with the intention to winning against Bernkastel.

Alliance of the Golden Witch

In Alliance of the Golden Witch, Lambdadelta appears before Ange Ushiromiya and reveals a trick that Bernkastel played on her that prevents Ange from ever reuniting with her family. Lambdadelta gives Ange the option of remaining by Battler Ushiromiya's side for all of eternity as long as she obeys Lambdadelta and never assists Battler enough to win over Beatrice.

End of the Golden Witch

In Alliance of the Golden Witch, Lambdadelta takes over for Beatrice as Game Master. Beatrice, having lost her will to fight in Alliance of the Golden Witch, has become a living corpse; Lambdadelta hopes that she can force Battler to lose the will to fight and have the pair of them both exist as living corpses for eternity.

Dawn of the Golden Witch

Lambdadelta takes the role of impartial mediator during the game between BATTLER and Erika Furudo and again during the final duel between Beatrice and Erika.

Twilight of the Golden Witch

Lambdadelta helps BATTLER and Ange Ushiromiya break into the City of Books. She faces off against Bernkastel, however the two are evenly matched and neither is able to gain a definitive upper hand. The fight is interrupted by Featherine Augustus Aurora. When Lambdadelta tries to attack Bernkastel after this, Featherine immediately kills her. She is later revived by ANGE-Beatrice.
