Appearance

Out all of the four demons, Lime is the tallest and the bustiest of them all, standing atop around 5 feet 3 inches which is around 1.6 meters. Lime herself is depicted as a girl who has a long, spiky and messy lime-green hair which correlates with her name and said hair sticks out with tiny twin-tails that was held by two pink bows on each side of her hair. In addition, she has a pair of rose pink colored eyes. During her previous incarnation however, Lime has a darker green hair with reddish brown colored eyes and sports a rather miserable look on her face while wearing a light blue jail uniform and the number E016 located on the left side of her bosom. This is due to the fact that Lime herself is one of the prisoners who was heinously experimented by the townsfolk and treated as a lower class creature due to her status as a "witch" before she died and become a hater demon. Over the course of the game, Lime wears a variety of outfits such as the pirate dress, her witch dress, her executioner dress and her cat dress. However, the most consistent appearance that Lime sports every time the protagonist met her is that she looks almost like a Japanese or European school girl as she wore a long-sleeved dark blue school jacket with two ribbons both colored pink and yellow located at both sleeves with a reddish brown shirt tucked inside the blazer and a huge pink ribbon located in her bosom. She also wore a pink skirt and a black thigh high socks.

Personality

Throughout the game, Lime is initially presented as an upbeat yet easygoing and sweet demon who helped the protagonist, Claire Elford, on her endeavors. Her personality can almost be reflected on her fantasy space which is mostly made of delicious snacks such as candy, chocolate, gingerbread or biscuits filled with demons that were based on sweets which reflects said personality. Her attempts to help Claire was shown as after her death, Lime is shown selling some useful goods for Claire to use and when encountering her in the fantasy space, Lime herself hosts a crane game that is filled with some valuable goods that Claire can get. In addition to all of this, she often gives the nicknames on the people that she meet and often uses "-nya" as a suffix due to her playful nature by comparing herself as a cute cat. However, her sweet and upbeat personality is revealed to be an act that was put by Lime at the end of the day. In truth, Lime herself is a truly evil demon who revels in the suffering of others and was revealed to be responsible for most of the tragedies that happened over the course of the game. Examples of her causing several misfortunes in the game are the likes of making the suffering of the people who were trapped in the mansion as a personal game, befriending an innocent guy just to kill his own family or toying with her victims by putting them through torturous ordeal such as making Claire and her friends participating in her sadistic cat and mouse game or showing the people who seek the Witch's Heart artifact, the demonic contract or at the very least, the knowledge about the Witch's Heart that can grant people wishes and resulted in the people killing the person who possessed it to satisfy their desires. Her unstable and twisted personality was foreshadowed early on as Claire encountered her for the first time in the story as she performs a sickening stunt by cutting her own neck in front of Claire just to show that demons are unable to die by killing themselves and gloats Claire about it. Despite her malicious and twisted personality, at the end of the day, Lime is shown to be a tragic character. Evidenced during her lifetime as she was shunned by the citizens for being a witch and was horribly experimented on and abused before becoming a Hater Demon which developed her misanthropic traits. Due to the horrific circumstances that she was raised in, Lime was incapable of feeling love and empathy towards other people and demons alike. This was shown during her encounter with other Hater Demons. Despite seemingly capable on feeling empathy towards them by experiencing their deaths when they were still on the human world, it was soon revealed that she secretly belittles them and minimizes their pain while still finding her death to be the most miserable of them all. In order for her to be of capable feeling empathy towards other people, she tries to find another person that is just as miserable as her, if not worse, and promises to give them a warm hug or at the very least, coax them into becoming a Hater Demon for her twisted desires on feeling love. In addition to all of this, Lime has a seemingly cordial relationship towards another Hater Demon, Charlotte as at one point, they played together just to mess with the person that tried to save Claire from trouble, which is Noel or talking together during the bonus stage. Biography: 387 years ago, during her lifetime, Lime was one of the witches that were imprisoned by the townsfolk during that era and was named as E016, since she was born and was horrifyingly mistreated by them, like an animal that was soon to be discarded along with other witches. Either by getting experimented on, getting beaten like a sandbag or at the very least, heavily implied to be sexually abused by several of the townsfolk. This resulted on the witches who were horribly mistreated were either having a breakdowns and never recover, beaten up so badly that they can't move again or in worse case scenario, taking their lives. Initially, E016 thought herself as a different person as once she gets out of a prison, she would definitely get several great things such as visiting beautiful places, eating delicious meals or at the very least, wear gorgeous clothes. However, things changed after she hit 25 years old. Despite being already let out by the people who imprisoned her, it was soon revealed that she was brought to be burned at the stake while other people cruelly watch her horrific fate that was inflicted upon her, mocking her without any slight of mercy. This resulted on E016 developing a huge hatred towards the humans and swore vengeance towards them while reborn as a Hater Demon, a demon who developed a huge grudge against humans. Perhaps the only glimmer of hope that she had during her lifetime was the Lime that she found after one of the townsfolk accidentally dropped it. This resulted on E016 taking the word "Lime" as her new name after becoming a Hater Demon. Hater Demon: After her death, E016 is reborn as a Hater Demon—a type of demon that used to be humans and were resurrected due to their huge hatred towards humanity—due to the mistreatment and abuse that Lime had received from the humans during her lifetime. E016 is reborn in a dimension known as hell, which is rather different compared to the Abrahamic Hell that evil people were sent to after their deaths as this dimension of hell houses several beings known as demons. Encountered by a high-level demon, Rouge, and her subordinates, Zizel and Charlotte, E016 was met with a warm welcome by these demons and was given a name, Lime, due to the lime that she had once found in the prison cell during her lifetime. During her first experience as a Hater Demon, she saw a flame in front of her that ended up engulfing her, much to Lime's horror. This is because of the fact that Hater Demons were forced to experience their death at least once a day as they couldn't forget what made them hate humanity in the first place. Due to Lime's death being burned on a stake, Lime has no choice but to endure the pain even after death in sadness while Charlotte reminded her that Lime will get used to the pain. As the time went by, Lime encountered several lower rank hater demons that died due to the mistreatment that they received in human world. One of the lower rank hater demons that was encountered by Lime for the first time was Coco who died after Coco's love rival tricked her and ended up getting stabbed in the gut while writhing in pain. Lime then uses this as an opportunity to hurt herself in front of Coco so that she could be looked down and laughed upon by Coco. Lime did this because only people who suffered just like Coco can understand her feelings much to Coco's disgust. Lime also pull this stunt towards the other Hater Demon as she experienced their death for them while ordering the other lower rank Hater Demons to give their life to her since she promised to live it big and bold. Due to the stunts that she had pulled, both Zizel and Rouge discuss Lime's current mental state as the latter said that Lime did this just for her self-satisfaction instead of understanding the pain that the lower rank Hater Demons had gone through in life. Encountering Charlotte and asking her about how she died so that she could experience Charlotte's death, the latter then asks why she is so desperate on trying to understand people. Lime responded by saying that she did all of this so that she could understand the wounded feelings that the Hater Demons harbored towards humanity. However, as it turns out, Charlotte found out that this is a lie that was tailored by Lime as it was revealed that Lime did all of this towards other lower ranked hater demons so that she could prove herself that she is the most unfortunate of them all and assumed that Lime will never understand Charlotte's own misfortune as people's misfortune belongs to them, not Lime. As despite Lime being able to endure other people's misfortune, Charlotte warned Lime that she couldn't take other people's misfortunes lightly. However, Lime justifies herself by saying that this is due to the fact that she is incapable of understanding others due to the horrible world that she lived in during her lifetime and she thought that the lower ranked Hater Demons that came here have weak reasons to hate humanity, she wanted to find someone pitiable enough so that they could empathize with her misery. However, towards the end, Lime made a promise towards herself that if she found out another human that is just as miserable as her, she would give them a big soft hug deep down in her heart and will try her best to understand the feeling of love, something that has been missing over the course of years due to the horrific mistreatment she had endured during her lifetime.
