Anachiro / Cinderella (NIKKE)

Cinderella is a member of the Old Tales squad. She was part of the second generation of the Grimms series Nikkes, alongside Hansel, Gretel, Red Shoes and Little Mermaid. Cinderella's weapons are aptly called the "Glass Slippers." The Big Three had spent astronomical amount of resources to manufacture her as she was intended to join and support the Goddess squad.[2] Unfortunately, before her debut as the newest member of the Goddess Squad, the Elysion facility where she was located got attacked by Raptures. The Raptures managed to corrupt her, leading her to believe that by slaughtering mankind, she would serve the Goddess Squad and the Queen. As a result, she would clash with the Goddess Squad and forced them to retreat in their first encounter. She would then proceed to wipe out multiple human settlements. The Central Government thereby gave her the codename "Anachiro." As such, she became one of the Heretics, personal agents of the Rapture Queen. According to Liliweiss, Cinderella use blitzkrieg tactics, allowing her to overwhelm and swiftly annihilate her enemies. Liliweiss compared her abilities to an air strike or intercontinental ballistic missile, and judged that her specs alone could outpace Goddess, including herself. Nevertheless, the Commander and Snow White presume that Anachiro would lose in a 1v1 duel against Liliweiss, implying that Anachiro is specialized in combatting multiple foes and not single target enemies. One of the second generation Grimms Model created as a successor to the Goddess Squad. Although her specifications surpass that of the Goddess Squad, she was not deployed in actual battles due to corruption. After receiving treatment, she has been fighting alone with zero support to overcome the stigma of being humanity's enemy. When first debuted in Red Ash, little was known about Cinderella's personality as she barely speaks a single word. However, she had a penchant for leaving a single survivor in all of her assaults, wanting someone to live to tell the tale of her carnage. This tied in to her inbuilt sense of superiority complex over others, especially in her confident smirk as Goddess' attacks plinked ineffectually off her Glass Slippers. As such Cinderella shows both pride and narcissism. Cinderella is obsessed with beauty. She even proclaims herself as beauty incarnate, she is always seen looking at herself in a mirror, as far as demanding a full-size mirror should be placed every 100 meters in Reclamation Site 01 (which was a concession from her since she originally asked for such a mirror every 50 meters). She believes she must always stay beautiful, and everything else that lives on this planet. Part of her obsession with beauty stems from her desire to atone for her actions as the former Heretic Anachiro, having full recollection of them all and viewing her corrupted self as a stain on her image.[3] Anything commendable in her eyes shall be deemed beautiful such as the Goddess squad's efforts during the First Rapture Invasion. Originally constructed by the Big Three to assist Goddess Squad in their attack on the Lift and assassinating the Rapture Queen. Unfortunately, Raptures attacked the lab where she was being created, capturing her and subjecting her to corruption. As a result, she was made to become a champion of the Raptures. Based on the...specimen[4] that Goddess found in the labs, it's theorized that Cinderella was the first successful case of Nikke-Rapture hybridization. Cinderella's first appearance was during Goddess' attack on the Lift, though this time, she stood against them all. Her Glass Slipper's assault quickly overwhelmed the members of Goddess, forcing Liliweiss to redline her systems in order to evacuate her squad.[6] On some level, it can be said that Cinderella's intervention on the Raptures' side is what cemented the failure of the Queen subjugation operation, and with it, mankind's defeat against the Raptures... Over the next four months or so after humanity throws in the towel, Cinderella was given a new name by the United Forces of Humanity/Central Government; "Anachiro." The traitor Nikke had since carved a bloody swathe through any forces standing in her way, leaving but one survivor to fearfully spread word of her carnage. On some twisted level, Anachiro became the Raptures' own "Goddess of Victory," a symbol of their inexorable advance...[5] Anachiro accompanied several groups on Raptures during an attempt to besiege the Ark, the colony which humanity was attempting to evacuate to. Initially, she had no trouble brushing away anything that would stand against her. The Goddess Squad, even fully repaired and rearmed, was nothing to her without their leader or their commander. Yet everything went wrong when an unexpected guest reappeared; Red Hood, a member of Goddess who was supposed to have retired and died from terminal corruption. With Red Hood spearheading the charge, Goddess slowly disabled Anachiro's Glass Slipper and cornered her. In the end, Anachiro succumbed to a barrage of shots while pinned against Red Hood's Wolfsbane. When the dust settled, her body was practically embedded into the wall from how many times Red Hood blasted her.
