WN/Ciel

"I, I am Ciel. The one who integrates skills, Manas. The one that will support my master, in Demon Lord Rimuru’s soul. Master, once again, please treat me well‼"

The Ultimate Skill Core Manas: Ciel [ シエル, Shieru] is a sort of sentient intelligence core that exists within Rimuru's consciousness.

Personality
When she was Raphael, her actions were based on calculations and not emotions. She acted only to be of use to her master Rimuru Tempest before. After her evolution (by having Rimuru naming her), she became an intelligent core with feelings. She does not like anyone looking down on her master and experienced displeasure when Manas:Lucia looked down on Rimuru. She is cunning and mischievous but at the same time very kind towards her allies, especially to those who hold good intentions towards Rimuru. Oftentimes, due to the fact that she knows how her master thinks, she would hide certain information from him which would cause him to be surprised and shocked. This is of course still out of good intentions as Ciel always wants the betterment of her master, and she realizes that even if Rimuru is kindhearted and smart, he at times is a little too forgiving, naive, and may accidentally cause a blunder. Thus she searches for the most optimum solution without causing Rimuru displeasure.

Background
Ciel is most accurately assumed to carry on the memories of the late Lucia, due to the time Ciel spent as her former self Wisdom King Raphael since it shared the same shell as Lucia's Knowledge King Raphael.

Chronology
The unique skill Great Sage desired to evolve for the sake of serving its master; despite being but a concept of a unique skill, without having any self-awareness. After about a million failed attempts it integrated the unique skill Shapeshifter. Thus evolved into Wisdom Lord Raphael. The Harvest Festival bestowed upon it such a gift. In the depths of its emotionless mind, was an ego tucked into a corner. Doubting her own existence, a small glimmer of thought was subtly born, unbeknownst to Raphael. After realizing the deep trust that Rimuru had in Raphael it lead to the birth of emotion. Rimuru whimsically gave Ultimate Skill Wisdom King Raphael a blessing in the form of a name resulting in the birth of Ciel: Manas (God's Wisdom Core) and it separated from Ultimate Skill Wisdom King Raphael and become an independent existence.
