{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|They possess a golden snake Sacred Artifact said to see the past and future with complete clarity. Anyone whose body is injected with its poison will have the concealed "memories" of their lives prosecuted and exposed. There are those from the same world as Astaroth who call the true form of those memories the sins of a past life or the sins to be committed in the next. No one knows if this is actually true, however. Furthermore, this power can also extend to memories from worlds beyond the 23 connected to Tokyo. That is because the power of fate that seeks out and tries to understand one another can surpass even the walls that divide the worlds. It is said that when Astaroth is bitten themselves, a lady with hair colored like the sky appears. Fundamentally speaking, Tokyo treats Shadows and the "original people they were cast off from" as separate entities with different feelings. Astaroth, however, would like to make known that this doesn't apply in this case, because as mentioned above they are connected to their past life or next life or the like.}}

|event-2=I...like this city. No one laughs at my mismatch. Is this what people mean by paradise...?

|touched=Hyah...!? W-what...you wanna die!? If you do that again you better be ready. Don't think I'll just leave you in five pieces.
|touched=Hrrk! W-What the hell are you doing?! Do that again and I'll rip your arms off!
|conversation-1=I wish...I was born with a stronger body. I wanted to serve more than anyone as a soldier. God, life is so unfair!

|event-2=Do you have time to feel sorry for yourself? You sure bounce back quick. ...I'm never going to give you a pep talk.

** Their rule to be able to expose the memories of someone's past, present, and future is taken from their ability in the Ars Goetia wherein Astaroth can give true answers to questions relating to the past, present, and future as well as discovering all secrets.
