Sefer Yetzirah (OU)

Sefer Yetzirah is a young and mysterious woman. She is leader of the equally mysterious Shinsengumi, and plays a key part in Gabriel Ascheron's plans for universal domination, apparently being needed to activate the Fruit of Knowledge. She possesses the Fruit of Life, and is responsible for unleashing the Stands upon the BZPB Multiverse. As such, she possesses the original Stand; Cruel Angel's Thesis.

Biography
Sefer is charismatic and collected, with a serious demeanor which belies her youthful appearance. This, combined with her confidence, is a major part of her success as leader of the Shinsengumi. She is manipulative, preferring subtle persuasion, and firmly believes that a few well-placed words can affect the outcome of any situation. As such, she can be seen as the ice to Gabriel Ascheron's fire.

Sefer is apparently extremely intelligent, being able to design the technology for the Lurian fleet re-organization project by herself; designs included a mass-production variant of the Icarus weapon, city-scale replicators and multiple infinite energy drive designs. Ascheron suspects she may have stolen these designs, but acknowledges their usefulness regardless. She also fully understands the nature of the Stands.

Ascheron suggests that Sefer supports the Republic because her and it share a common goal; it is not currently known what this is.

The Conflict Begins: Original Sin
Sefer was present on the Assault Shadow even before Ascheron's voyage into Guf. During this time, and after, she had free access to all areas of the ship, including the bridge, throne room and meeting room.

The Speech
Immediately after Ascheron gave his speech to the Republic of Luria, he returned to his quarters, and found Sefer there. The two shared a drink, over which they discussed the morality of his actions, with Sefer suggesting he was a nihilist. Ascheron suggested she was no different, but she disagreed.

Sefer was only actually named during the following post. Altian informed Ascheron that his crew were suspicious of her, at which point Ascheron revealed Sefer's identity, as well as her contributions to the Lurian fleet re-organization project. However, Ascheron also stated that he believed Sefer would become the greatest threat Luria would ever face.

Stand Alone Complex
Sefer later left the Assault Shadow and returned to the Shinsengumi vesssel Kusanagi. She briefly checked on the status of the Fruit of Life, summoning her Stand, Cruel Angel's Thesis.

She later arrived at Sapsa, to conduct negotiations with the Sahagin. She teleported aboard a Sahagin vessel, and ordered the other Shinsengumi to remain in orbit of the planet, leaving her alone.

Abilities & Powers
One of Sefer's more remarkable abilities is her teleportation ability. She can transport herself seemingly infinite distances, as well as teleporting whilst in FTL space-time (meaning she can teleport to other planes of reality), and bypass seemingly any measure of teleportation-blocking. Her teleports are always accompanied by a menacing red light, often manifesting as a violent burst of energy. Sefer is a Stand user, and therefore can summon a Stand. Despite possessing no biological or mechanical augmentations, Sefer can somehow breath underwater. It's highly likely that this is a side-effect of using the Fruit of Life. Whether or not this counts as a power or not is arguable, but what's certainly clear is that Sefer is one of the greatest sources of mental pressure in the known universe. This pressure can be sensed from any distance by individuals who are sensitive to it, such as Damian Lewis and Captain Eurobeat. It's a side effect of her immense psychic power, and is incredibly useful, affecting those she interacts with on a subconscious level.

Cruel Angel's Thesis

Sefer possesses the Stand, Cruel Angel's Thesis. Being the original Stand, it is one of the most powerful. This, combined with Sefer's inherent understanding of Stands, makes Sefer an incredibly dangerous opponent.

Trivia
