DAME＝GEMINI／Guardian of Gemini
Lilith: C-GE: Political Secretary
Authority of Craftsmanship ／ Advocate of Symbiosis
Her current designation is DAME=GEMINI, a pivotal figure within the doll society, bearing the name "Gemini" as a counterpart to her older brother, SIR=GEMINI. Tasked with the care of the "LADY=ROLELESS," a sophisticated mechanical doll stripped of her memories, DAME-GEMINI utilizes her intellect to assist in maintenance endeavors.
While her capabilities exceed those of SIR=GEMINI in terms of intelligence and technical acumen, she lacks proficiency in combat. Though equipped with basic self-defense mechanisms like other sophisticated mechanical dolls, she has encountered numerous malfunctions when faced with specific enemy life forms, prone to a freezing phenomenon. Consequently, she often relies on the escort of companions like Sabik or Sagittarius when venturing outside.
Originally known by the soul name Lilith Maiya, DAME=GEMINI's true identity lies as the creator of the "Kagaribito," once revered as an authority on craftsmanship. Moreover, she holds the poignant distinction of being the biological mother of the main character, Eve Maiya. We delve into the somber tale of how she tragically lost the memories of her cherished creations.

STORY
▼ The Trail of Lilith Maiya
Hailing from Grand Chariot, the esteemed city of wisdom, she attained recognition at a mere 20 years of age as a prodigious mechanic. Acknowledged by Null, a formidable female general from Central, she achieved a breakthrough by inventing an "old type machine mechanical doll" imbued with a pseudo-spirit, thereby carving her place in the era of advanced civilization. A perfectionist at heart, she harbored a disdain for failure in all its forms.
“Hey, Miss Null, I need to ask you a favor.
Can I have Adam Blaze here in the North?"
“Ooh. Now why would you want that?”
"Well, I want the hero of our country to be the hero of our planet.”
"Well, that sounds like a very interesting story."
There is a burden on the planet due to the huge amount of astral flare consumed by old machines, and the planet is in danger of destruction. In order to break through the limiting point of modern technology, she requests Central to "dispatch a collaborator," knowing that it is impossible to do so.
Her anecdote of calling the world's best mage to a remote place won’t be told to many people until her later years. Adam loved her, and she, in turn, continued to hold him in high esteem for his special magical talents.
“Are you Adam Blaze? Welcome to the Sanctuary of the Dolls.
I'm sorry to bother you so early, but I absolutely need you to work for me.”
“What? You’re Lilith Maiya, the scientist?
Can you let me warm up for a while?
This room is freezing!”
“Oh, well, I hope you don't mind the cold…
Heat is the enemy of the dolls, after all.”
“Oh, give me a break, your people will break down before the dolls do…!”
They were happy in the north until the "terminal disease" spread, even if in a different way than most married couples. The reason for the breakdown of their bond was because of the incurable disease that severed the connection between astral flare and humans.
People on this planet cannot think normally without astral flares. The same is true of the rare scientist, whose behavior in her later years was truly insane.
“We will save the planet and save Kagaribito, because they already have a heart.
Failure is not an option. I don't want to hear anything but "yes" or "yes ma’am,” Adam.
Now, put this nonsense to rest and get back to work.”
"I'm sorry I can't do what you want, the answer is NO.
There is nothing more important to me than you and Eve.”
"Is that so.. then you're just going to get in the way.
In that case, I hope you both die here.”
"No, Mama..."
*North ground: family interaction just prior to the Lilith battle of the deadly war*
Eve knew it well.
She knew her mother's sorrow and regret. That the fruits of her labor, which she had made with all her heart for the benefit of others, had given birth to a disease. She also knew she loved her divorced husband in her own way until the end of her life.
“I'm glad you called me, Eve. No, my new Guardian of Eden.”
“Welcome to Central. Ma- Lilith Maiya.”
“Is the bonfire in your possession?”
“Yes. Pa... all of Sir Adam's wisdom has been passed down to me.”
"Oh, yes! That's wonderful!
It was troublesome when he betrayed me…”
"...I see.”
"You're very cooperative and helpful. I hope we’ll get along well.”
“Why are you crying?”
“Oh... Why? I... i'm... i'm... ......”
“Please go get some sleep. You must be tired.
We have a room ready for you. Null, show her in.”
"Yes... yes... I'll do that. Thank you, Eve…”
*Conversation between Lilith and Eve when Lilith’s “terminal disease” is in its final stage and her memories become cloudy*
*Lilith no longer recognizes Eve as her daughter*
The "Guardian of Gemini," one half of which was born from the daughter's strong feelings, and is intentionally devoid of the negative emotions of the original. She is the "vessel of Adam," his "sister," in her present state. Who can blame the Creator for making such a painful choice?
-Yes, that's your "heart". Isn't it beautiful?" -
She was born in a small town in the northern part of Astral to a priest father and a craftsman mother. She was filled with loneliness since her parents were away from home a lot. The void was instead filled by their animal-shaped dolls. Somehow, she began to dream of giving them "hearts,” and she did it. She then wanted to somehow keep alive Kagaribito, the "cause of the extinction of mankind" that she had created.
She wanted to keep them alive because they were her "beloved children" and she was obsessed with them, forgetting even Eve.
She is unable to overcome the "it" that she has become obsessed with, even as DAME=GEMINI.
What will she really think when she confronts them, those whom she has been avoiding for so long?
