Death Master

Dead Master is a girl with wavy dark green hair and straight bangs, and neon green eyes. In the OVA, she has a circular pattern in her eyes.
Her outfit is similar to a Gothic lolita costume. She wears a black dress and a black bolero; her dress extends down to her thighs and is accented with a white ribbon attached to her waist. Dead Master also wears a pair of leggings and a pair of black pumps. She wears a pair of black gauntlets on each hand. On her head is a pair of long horns which resemble a pair of vertebrae with each tip made out of three tips joined at the end. Dead Master also has a pair of wings which sit low on her back, looking like a thick zigzag.
Her weapon of choice is a large scythe named Dead Scythe that has an unusually-shaped blade and a long handle with a vertebrae-like detail.
Most of the time she is accompanied by two, floating skulls, each with glowing cavities.

PersonalityEdit

She is showy and sinister, licking her fingers when trying to kill Black★Rock Shooter and making huge shows with her scythe. She makes a large show of threatening, wicked smiles, and while she is quiet, she is silently taunting her enemy. She also makes hissing noises when agitated.
In the OVA, she can apparently take over Takanashi Yomi's body when her emotions become similar to the Dead Master's.
In the anime, Dead Master seems more sympathetic. She appears to be under the influence of Chariot, and after being freed from this, is captured by Dead Master, becoming antagonistic towards Black Rock Shooter after both she and Yomi lose control.

PlotEdit

Black★Rock Shooter OVAEdit

She sits on a throne at the beginning of the OVA in her castle, apparently expecting Black★Rock Shooter's appearance. They fight after Black★Rock Shooter extends her hand to her, rejecting the offer to go with her. Making a show of her nature, she tries to make herself threatening to her enemy throughout the battle.
She gains an advantage when she manages to trap Black★Rock Shooter in chains, but Black★Rock Shooter gains the strength to break the chains. She makes the same hand gesture, but the Dead Master, again rejecting her, and backing up, starts to fall off of a ledge. Black★Rock Shooter catches her and holds her in an embrace.
Unable to handle this, the Dead Master escapes the body of Takanashi Yomi, whom she had been possessing, and dissolves; the reason is unknown, but it is likely either due to having left Yomi's body or the "affection" having damaged her in some way.

Black★Rock Shooter (2012)Edit

While Chariot is torturing Black★Rock Shooter, Dead Master is seen watching. She eventually accosts Black★Rock Shooter and ties her in chains, but Black★Rock Shooter reverses this. Black Rock Shooter suddenly ceases her attack when she notices a heart shaped scar, identical to the one carved into Yomi by Kagari. However, a swarm of Chariot's spiders surround her and carry her away, with Black Rock Shooter chasing after.
She is locked up within a doll inside a house in the sky, but Black★Rock Shooter finds her. The moment she reaches for her, Chariot attacks Black★Rock Shooter, and the falling apart of the floating house reveals that Dead Master is chained to a large heart-shaped stone in the sky. However, as Yomi faces Kagari, she pulls the chains down and breaks the stone. The chains recede into the sky, starting the destruction of Chariot's world.
She comes down and looks and joins Black★Rock Shooter as Chariot is being sucked into the void, but suddenly Black★Gold Saw appears.She saves Chariot and cuts into the ground, creating a fissure that drags Dead Master in, separating her from the others.
Black Gold Saw apparently holds Dead Master captive, leading to Black Rock Shooter tracking them both down. Due to Yomi's instability in the real world, Dead Master also goes into turmoil and surrounds herself in chains, eventually summoning a castle and several minions. She then begins to battle Black★Rock Shooter.
