Carmilla

}} Carmilla (カーミラ) was the Witch of Lust. She formally debuted in Arc 4 as a supporting character.

Following her death 400 years ago, Echidna collected her soul and brought it to the Sanctuary along with the other witches. Throughout Arc 4, she and the other witches helped Subaru accept himself and change his views on Return by Death. After the arc, her soul was transferred into a crystal and she is currently travelling with Omega.

Appearance
Carmilla stood at five feet and three inches tall, making her taller than the likes of Rem but shorter than the likes of Emilia. She had round red downcast eyes and long pale-pink hair that was parted down the middle and tied into loose asymmetrical bunches falling down the front of her shoulders that went all the way to her hips. As a reflection of her personality, the Witch of Lust's physical demeanour more commonly than not conveyed meekness. Her face looked very refined, and, as opposed to being a standout beauty, Carmilla's charm was derived more so from how abnormally adorable she was. Although her physique was well-hidden by her clothing, Carmilla was known to have a fairly shapely figure with surprisingly large breasts.

Carmilla, who was averse to exposing her skin, would often resort to wearing baggy clothes that hid her fairly generous physique. Her ensemble consisted of a dark-red dress that reached down to her ankles and had diamond patterns on the bottom, a pair of light-brown boots, a long snow-white coat with a pink collar that covered her dress and reached slightly lower down than it, and an exceedingly long light-green muffler that trailed along the ground behind Carmilla. Overall, the only parts of the Witch of Lust's body that were exposed were her head and her hands. Carmilla often acts very timidly, having an extremely frail look in her eyes, which ticked Subaru off.

Personality
Carmilla has extremely low self-confidence, often having downcast eyes and overall acts very timid. She tends to stutter and question her own words, more often than not ticking other people off by doing so. She speaks in a very polite manner, trying not to cause any disagreements or disapproval. At times, she shows a rather submissive side of her, when dealing with her fellow Witches of Sin, as seen when she had no problem it taking part of Echidna's scheme to lure Subaru into her castle of dreams, despite knowing it will end badly for her. Due to her timid personality and low self-confidence, she is frequently seen shying away from stern gazes, often pleading people not to hit her or exercise any form of violence towards her which likely stems from her past bad experiences with other people.

According to Echidna, Carmilla only cares for herself and holds deep grudges if you were to harm or trick her in any way regardless if she's in the wrong.

In the past, Carmilla was the reason why her village, the neighboring villages and cities and even the great country she lived in, were engulfed in the flames of war. Everyone desired and loved her but she desired none of it, hence she left everything and everyone behind in search of the love she lost.

History
A long time ago, Carmilla was a normal girl who was loved by the people in her village and even had a fiancé. However, one day a man of power came to the village and desired her. Angered by the man's actions, the villagers rose up in defiance and fought against him, eventually burning him with his mansion. The cities and villages around theirs began to regard them as dangerous, causing the fighting to spread, and soon their force was toppling countries, all the while claiming that it was for her sake. Carmilla began to be regarded as a heavenly maiden, nevertheless, she didn't desire such a thing, and saw that they were being misled by their own fantasies and manipulated by their ideals. After they had toppled a large country, her fiancé proposed to her at the top of the castle, though she ignored him and left everything behind, despairing that what she had originally wanted no longer existed.

It is said that over 400 years ago, Carmilla burned to death. Like with the other Witches of Sin, Echidna located her soul and collected it, allowing Carmilla to manifest in the castle of dreams, alongside her deceased friends.

Abilities
Authority of Lust (色欲の権能 Shikiyoku no Ken'nō): At some point during her life, Carmilla absorbed the Witch Factor of Lust. Overtime, the Lust blossomed, bestowing Carmilla with the Authority of Lust. With the power of her Authority, Carmilla was considered one of the weaker Witches of Sin in terms of combative potential. Her battle prowess was roughly on equal terms with the Witch of Greed and surpassed that of the Witch of Wrath Minerva. Furthermore, she was marginally more powerful than the Sin Archbishop of Lust that succeeded her.


 * Carmilla's Faceless Bride transformation.gifFaceless Bride (顔のない花嫁 Kao no nai hanayome) The Authority of Lust allowed Carmilla to use a power referred to as the "Faceless Bride." The Faceless Bride caused Carmilla's victims to be completely captivated by her presence to the point that they would entirely forget everything else at that moment. In short, this meant that those in Carmilla's presence would fail to notice if any damage were done to them externally (for example being stabbed). Additionally, their body would neglect ordinary functions such as breathing and their heart would eventually cease to beat. It was that aspect of the Faceless Bride that caused most people to perish upon meeting the Witch of Lust.
 * Another aspect of the Faceless Bride that Carmilla could use made it so her target would see and hear her as whomever they wanted to see and hear at that point in time, such as when Subaru saw and heard her as Rem.
 * Lastly, the Witch of Lust had the power to make her target understand the love other people had for them, as seen when she used her Authority of Lust to help Subaru understand Satella's love for him. Carmilla used all three of these aspects of the Authority's power on Natsuki Subaru during the Witches' Tea Party.

Trivia

 * According to the author, Carmilla's birthday is June 19.
 * Like the other Witches of Sin (with the exception of Satella), Carmilla received her namesake from a celestial body. 107 Camilla is the name of a large asteroid located in the solar system's asteroid belt. Her name, like the celestial body, may also be a reference to Camilla, a princess appearing in Roman mythology. the daughter of King Metabus and Casmilla.
 * Her name may also be a reference to Carmilla, a lesbian vampire from the story of the same name who seduced and obsessed over her victims.
 * Due to Carmilla's lack of fighting abilities, she had personal guards who protected her. The author also noted these guards were able to resist her Authority to some extent because they had "tough hearts".
 * Very few people actually met Carmilla and got to walk away with their lives, due to her Authority of Lust.
 * Despite her title as the Witch of Lust, Carmilla felt no desire to love or be loved due to a traumatic experience she suffered during her life. Using the Authority of Lust, Carmilla could transform into whomever their target desired to see most.
 * If Carmilla and Capella were to fight to the death, it would conclude with Carmilla's victory (barely but surely).
