Gamma

"We've waited a long time for you, my lord."

- Gamma

Gamma (ガンマ) (Γάμμα) is the third member of Shadow Garden, being one of the original "Seven Shadows", managing the organization's internal affairs, finances and logistics. Her public identity is Luna, the director of the Mitsugoshi Company which secures funds for Shadow Garden by selling "original" products that actually are reverse-engineered using Shadow's descriptions of goods from Earth.

Appearance
Gamma is a mature-looking young woman with a slender figure, large bosom, and dark blue hair with several strands braided that extends nearly to her feet. Furthermore, she also possesses a mole under the left corner of her lips. She is said to be an extremely beautiful women and those who once saw her are said to be become utterly mesmerized by her bewitching beauty.

Her Shadow Garden uniform consists of a standard slime bodysuit with golden patterns decorated around her chest and arms. She wears a sleeved jacket with gold edges that exposes her cleavage and ends at a point behind her back, and golden shoulder pads. Her torso wears a bustier with gold trims going down the center of her forward attire, and her bust is hidden behind a thin fabric. She wears standard Shadow Garden trousers but also has uniquely designed boots that end just above the knees, with thick golden collar end with a thinner golden line underneath looping around from the lower inner knee to the upper outer thigh, holding a violet gem. The heels of her boots are similar to her work heels but enclosing her feet with gold lines around the ankles and gold rims over her metatarsel joints.

Outside of Shadow Garden, Gamma normally wears a long dark dress attached to a checker that exposes her chest and back whenever she is going about in her public persona of Luna, the head of the Mitsugoshi Company.

Personality
"Gawghh!!!"

- Gamma, various times she has tripped over her own left foot

Gamma is seen as a dignified person with elegance and grace, but in reality, she is very clumsy, which affects her performance in battle as she has a habit of tripping over when wearing high heels since she's not used to them.

Immediately after joining Shadow Garden, Gamma had a complex about lacking fighting skills, and she felt sad and disappointed about it. She even considered leaving Shadow Garden until Shadow, in a moment of vulnerability, confided in her about the knowledge of his previous life under the name of "Shadow Wisdom." Inspired by his revelation, Gamma decided to rely on her intellect rather than brute force.

While she may not be a competent fighter, Gamma makes up for it with her highly cunning intelligence, which makes her responsible for most of Shadow Garden's operations.

Gamma is also an honest businessperson, as she does not resort to using dirty practices when running the popular Mitsugoshi Company, which serves as a front for Shadow Garden. Gamma tends to display an incredible amount of confidence towards others, even if she falls or slips, causing others to assume she might have a screw loose. She is well liked by all of Shadow Garden because she tends to make sure everyone else is okay before addressing her own (admittedly, self-inflicted) injuries, causing her to be trusted by the younger or more inexperienced numbers, but of the named numbers, she often exasperate them to no end, because of her nonchalant attitude whenever she does something clumsy, and forcing her attention or interactions with enemies or others regardless of what she says or not even if an attendant named number is wiping her bloodied nose.

Despite being named the weakest of the Seven Shadows, it's a bit of a misnomer, it basically means she has no battle experience and her weapon attacks come off as an amateur, despite being dead serious when she fights. Her strength becomes evident whenever she receives an attack or two, showing off her insane resistance and her overwhelming magical energy towards others. She often hides behind a confident smile whenever she becomes embarrassed whenever she has tripped or fallen, causing some discomfort towards people who don't know her well.

Powers & Abilities
Gamma is the weakest of the "Seven Shadows" and arguably all of Shadow Garden, being utterly crippled by her clumsiness despite actually having great potential. Instead, her strength lies in her intelligence, being the most cunning and analytical of the "Seven Shadows", serving as a rear commander and the organization's third-in-command. She is also the manager of the Mitsugoshi Company, which she turned into a highly successful enterprise using only some vague business knowledge taught by her master.

General
Due to Gamma's extreme lack of physical coordination, she has adapted to serve as a rear commander. This is complimentary to Shadow and Alpha, who often lead the vangaurd against the Cult, thus Gamma leading the rear allows anything that can slip through or escape notice to be addressed, as well as being acting commander should Alpha be unavailable. A major example would be leading a contingent to save the students during the Midgar Academy attack and having her numbers seize Sherry's research on the Eye of Avarice. And with Gamma's experience operating a multinational company, she is well-versed in delegating tasks for situations in different sectors, improving the membership of the Numbers with actionable or command experience.

Physical Prowess
Although Gamma has an excellent brain, on the other hand, she often misses the stairs and falls down, and she has a poor sense of movement to the extent that she falls even when there is nothing on the ground. Even she regarded as the weakest among the Seven Shadows, she compensates for her faults by using her ability to analyze her enemy's strengths and weaknesses followed by overpowering them with her sheer speed and powerful and lethal sword strikes.

Despite her clumsiness as such, Gamma ironically possesses supernatural innate strength and resistance, which can surprise and frighten the opponents she faces:

Strong resistance: During the trade war in the kingdom of Midgar, Gamma received a fatal attack, directly to her neck, in her blind spot, by one of the thugs sent to spy and get information from Mitsugoshi. But to the murderer's surprise, Gamma did not die, but she barely felt the pain.

Supernatural Strength: During one of his missions with the Seven Shadows, and Mr. Shadow, Gamma managed to lift, by brute force without apparently resorting to magic, a huge large concrete support, just using his Slimo long sword, and then throwing it at him. member of the Cult. (Game)

Skilled Intellectual
Gamma's natural trait is her innate intelligence, as she is not only running a high-class business corporation but also acts as the strategist of Shadow Garden, having been taught by Cid which make her become very intelligent, making her excellent at multi-tasking, extracting knowledge from her opponents, and planning out strategies ahead of time.

Apart from her military brilliance, she is adept in entrepreneurship with the establishment of her Mitsugoshi Company despite her lack of coordination as her knowledge allowed her to manufacture many items described by her master Shadow to be sold as Mitsugoshi's exclusive products.

She applies fundamental economics she learned from Cid to her business accumen, such as starting the banking system, which became popular among the populace with the note exchange for coins. As such, the Midgar Kingdom's economy boomed as people could use bills for the expenses of items worth hundreds or even thousands of coins.

Genius Tactical Skills
Gamma is a skilled and creative tactician with her highly intelligent, despite having no combat experience.

Swordsmanship
Gamma is terrible in combat, but she learned swordsmanship as much as she could. Unless her enemy is in front of her and at very close range, Gamma will try to avoid moving due to her lack of coordination in footwork more than arm coordination.

Although she is the weakest of the seven shadows of Shadow Garden, due to her clumsiness, she can't coordinate her attacks well. However, she instead has a lot of magical strength, which even if her enemy knows that she is clumsy, it would be very risky to approach her, since she could severely cut or kill her opponent in range. When Gamma prepared to face Leaf One of the "Clovers" sent by Gettan of the Trade Alliance, Gamma's hand for holding her sword came loose due to her lacking dexterity and her sword suddenly flung forward and stabbed Clover's assassin unintentionally, cleaving his head in half.

In the game, she uses a large nodachi, and When she is in her civil and adult state, she uses hand fans, to defend herself in part, when she attacks from a long distance.

Magic
Like the other Seven Shadows, Gamma possesses tremendous magical power as she was cured by Shadow himself, which makes her defensive power and strength are beyond common sense, even Gamma has tremendous speed and an abundance of magical power, which is offset by her lack of prowess. It is possible to fight by swinging the sword unreasonably with magic power.

Despite having an enormous amount of mana, she lacks any kind of fighting skills to make use of it, which is why she is called the weakest among the Seven Shadows. Not helping this is her clumsiness, which concurrently makes her a bit more unpredictable, such as when she fell and threw her sword in such a way it bisected her assassin.

Standard Equipment:

 * Slime Bodysuit: Like the other members of Shadow Garden, Gamma wears a suit made of slime, which allows 99% magical conductivity, and which she handles well, although it does not eliminate the weaknesses that Gamma possesses.
 * Slime weapons: her weapon in the game is Ōdachi.
 * Hand Fans: Within the game, it is seen that Gamma, in his hobby of resting, uses some fans for women, to cool off when he is hot, but these fans, if Gamma wants, can use them as strong weapons, (if these are made of Slimo, the damage is much stronger).

Heavy Slash
By channeling a ridiculous amount of magic, Gamma can focus her power into a single sword swing that can devastate almost any opponent.

Rapid Flash
Focusing her magic, Gamma can move at sonic speeds and keep apace of her sisters. However, due to her coordination deficit, she always needs someone present to catch her should she fall and not stick the landing.

Air Tornadoes
When putting her magic into her blade and spinning cyclically, Gamma generates a small tornado of tremendous force.

Do-Or-Die Death Roll
Incorporating her lack of combat prowess, Gamma infuses her sword with her magic. When she trips on something and falls forward, the charged blade flies forward and explodes upon contact with anything-- such as Leaf One of the Clovers when they infiltrated Mitsugoshi. The devastation and ostentatiousness of the attack leaves Alpha and Nu embarrassed moreso for the enemy, hiding their faces from the cringe.

Master Strategist
While Gamma could not contribute as a fighter, she was educated to be a commander and entrepreneur, coordinating Shadow Garden's forces under the guise of her employees as well as on the scene authority. Alpha coordinates with her to execute the organization's long-term plans and bounce ideas. Whenever Alpha has doubts about where Shadow Garden is heading, Gamma is the one who reassures her they are treading the right path. Despite Alpha's confidence with Gamma's planning and leadership skills, whenever Gamma becomes personally involved with intruders, plans or public outings she often shows exasperation.

They're also viewed as the weakest of the Seven Shadows, maybe even the weakest in all of Shadow Garden considering Gamma's Clumsiness and Eta's Sleep disorder.
