Tear

"Mm-hmm. You don’t have to be so wary of us. I'm Tear, a fellow member of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance. We of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance are sort of jack-of-all-trades mercs, I promise we aren't your enemies!"

- Tear to Phobio and entourage



Tear (ティア) is a Majin and member of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, known as the Teardrop (涙目の道化).

Appearance
Tear is a small and youthful girl with magenta hair tied into short twin-tails. She wears a harlequin outfit and dons a mask with a teardrop motif and two red horns.

Personality
Tear is a childish and playful but also somber and sweet girl. Though the burden of her power placed an immense strain on her spirit that prevented her from maturing, she was by no means an unintelligent person during that period. She was more than capable of fooling others and constructing well-thought out plans to achieve her goals when needed. She absolutely hates being treated like a kid, often admonishing Laplace and Clayman for doing so.

During the events of Rumbling of Heaven and Earth, Tear's spirit finally caught up to her power and she was able to fully mature. This was caused by the recognition that she was the only one left to protect Kagali, only further enhanced by the transplanted fragments of Clayman's core that healed her injuries from the volume prior.

Background
Originally an Elf during the era of the Super-Magic Kingdom, Tear was the personal maid of the High Elf Princess Kagali. When Kagali's father was taken over by the Evil Sorcerer Jahil and outwardly seemed to have gone insane, she was one of the people inside the castle that remained loyal to Kagali after she was turned into the Deathman Kazalim. When a young Milim Nava–enraged at the actions taken against her by Jahil–obliterated the castle in Soma, Tear was one of the individuals resurrected by Kagali alongside Footman and Clayman.

When Kagali saw that the appearances of the three of them weren't scarred by becoming Deathmen while she was cursed to look like a rotting corpse, she became depressed, with the three of them deciding to wear masks to match with hers from that day forward. The four of them were later joined by the newly born Laplace and they regrouped with the elven survivors still loyal to Kagali to create the nation of Jistav, eventually also forming the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
