Capella Emerada Lugunica

''This page is about the Sin Archbishop. For the Princess of Lugnica, see Emerada Lugnica''

Capella Emerada Lugnica (カペラ・エメラダ・ルグニカ) is a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing Lust. Debuting in Arc 5, she acted as one of the main antagonists of that arc, alongside her fellow Sin Archbishops, turning innocent civilians into flies, chunks of meat and Dragons, forcing Subaru and others to travel to the Pleiades Watchtower in order to revert the damage done by Capella.

She is also known as Mother who leads the Assassin Organization that operates in all four countries. Due to her leadership of the aforementioned Assassin Organization, she can be noted as a minor overarching antagonist of Arc 1, Arc 2 and Arc 4, despite not making an appearance.

Appearance
Because of her authority, Capella's actual form is unknown, though she has transformed into a giant black dragon with golden horns, a small girl, a well endowed woman, an honest looking village girl, a multitude of field mice, and an innocent looking young girl with a lewd smile.

In her most common form, Capella has short golden hair with a rose attached at the end of her ponytail. She wears revealing clothes, hot pants, leggings, a bikini and nothing more. She also has a yaeba that becomes prominent when she laughs. Her most common form has a great resemblance to Felt and Fourier Lugnica.

Personality
Capella is considered to be the worst personality wise within the Sin Archbishops. She speaks in a way that sounds like she spat and trampled upon courtesy, complete with a child like cruelty. She claims that all the love and respect in the world exists to be monopolized by her, changing her and others' appearances so that everyone would come to love her, making her a monster that plays with the dignity and values of people, all the while spitting her brand of ridicule. As other Witch Cultist, she is shown to not think highly of her fellow Sin Archbishops, referring to them with degrading nicknames when not using their names.

As Mother of the Assassin Organization, Capella spends her days gathering brilliant and extraordinarily eccentric individuals who she refers to as her children–her underlings who she uses for her own benefits and goals. According to both Elsa and Meili, Mother is extremely cruel and unforgivable as even the slightest mistake might result in harsh punishments, such as being temporarily morphed into countless frogs, be slaughtered or simply turned into a shapeless pile of meat for all eternity. According to Capella, her children are individuals who will devote their bodies and souls to her and make her wishes come true and bring her gifts beyond her wildest dreams, no matter the cost. By doing so, they will express their unbounded love for Capella–something she cherishes more than anything else in the world.

History
Nine years before the story started, Capella tasked Reisel to steal an item of the Witch's Legacy from a shipment of cargo. After Reisel's failure, she transformed him into something inhuman and thereby pruned him.

Abilities
Authority of Lust (色欲の権能 Shikiyoku no Ken'nō): Capella is able to use the Authority of Lust.
 * Variation and Change (変異と変貌 Hen'i to Henbō) Capella was shown to able to transform herself or others into various beings. She was repeatedly shown to have transformed others into various animals such as flies, frogs, birds, beasts or straight up turn them into unrecognizable lumps of flesh without any of the five senses or self awareness, by simply touching them with her hand. It's worth noting that when she transforms a single person into a group of animals, their consciousness splits and every animal shares the same mind. This ability can also be used as a way of healing herself by transforming damaged parts into uninjured parts, with Al mentioning that Capella was able to heal "after I cut her head off and crushed her heart", and any spare parts generated through healing dissolve on their own.
 * Black Flames: In her dragon transformation, Capella is capable of producing powerful jet black flames that consume everything and cannot be put out by water.

Black Dragon Blood: Capella is able to infect people with her dragon blood, covering her target with black veins and making them sick, as shown when she infected Crusch Karsten.

Trivia

 * If Carmilla and Capella were to fight, Capella would lose; though the author stated it would be a really close fight.
 * Capella's clothes are not her actual clothes, they are just transformations.
