Faceless (フェイスレス Feisuresu) is a knight of amazing abilities in the service of Queen Halloween. She is the Queen's favorite knight, and a Guest of the community [Will-O-Wisp].
Appearance[]
Faceless is a masked female knight with long, pure white hair that is tied back by a black hair ornament. Faceless' name comes from the mask she wears that covers the upper half of her face. The mask is described as being made from black and white (Which is odd as on the cover of Volume 6, Faceless' chibi form has her mask colors being a mixture of dark magenta, purple and gold), though from the illustrations the mask is more of a masquerade mask. Which is fitting as Faceless is also described as wearing a white, formal dress decorated by silver armor.
Regardless of what she wears, even if its a cloak or swimsuit, Faceless always has her sword in hand or fastened at her hip, and her mask covering her face.
Personality[]
Faceless is a rather laconic individual that is rather stoic and more awkward than most of the cast. Faceless' words tend to depict her as a proud person, but rightfully so due to her immense skill and strength. Faceles is a rather determined and diligent individual as it was stated she held mastery over several different variation of weapons, ranging from spears to swords. She is merciless when cutting down her enemies but has a degree of honor that she abides by. She can recognize a strong warrior and has respect for those of equal or greater power. It could be said she is the prime example of a perfect knight; possessing utter loyalty to her master and holding no envy or jealousy of anyone as she has pure confidence in her own skills.
Her facial expressions are also mostly hidden away by her mask, making her very unreadable. It is shown that Faceless doesn't seem to understand or hold shame as she easily decimated the clothing of the female contestants in the [Hippocampus Rider] Gift Game in Volume 5, leaving the girls naked. Though even she can feel embarassed as she was left flabberghasted at Gry in his human form and easily understood the utter ridiculousness of his outfit, to the point she felt embarassed looking at him.
Relationships[]
Queen Halloween - Faceless' master who saved the girl as her spirit was drifting.
Willa-the-Ignis-Fatuus - Willa likes to call Faceless by a nickname, showing that the two are on good terms. Faceless doesn't seem to mind Willa and is friendly with her at times but not much can be stated.
Jack-O-Lantern - Jack and Faceless are implied to have met when Queen helped bring Jack and Willa into Little Garden. As their community leaders are friends, it is natural to see that these two are on good terms as Faceless was willing to answer to a favor Jack asked of her.
Ayesha - Faceless is a guest of Ayesha's community because the knight's master knew the leader of the [Will-O-Wisp]. She appears to be on good terms with Ayesha and willingly helped them out when they had a favor to ask of her.
Shiroyasha - Even if Queen and Shiroyasha don't get along, Faceless has no problems with Shiroyasha and respects her wishes and orders.
Kasukabe Yō - Faceless saved her along with Asuka during the first assault of the titans in Volume 3.
Asuka Kudō - Just like Yō, Faceless saved Asuka during the Titan's attack on [Underwood].
Sakamaki Izayoi - The two actually fought one another in a short story before the events of Volume 3. Their strength was even but Faceless was clearly the superior. Even so she respected his strength though felt mildly annoyed at the destruction he caused and she had to prevent.
Leticia Draculea - Faceless assisted in the battle to save [Underwood] and indirectly Leticia. Faceless spoke with Leticia in a respectful manner despite the vampire's position as a Former Demon Lord and current Head Maid of the [No Name]s.
Gry - Her thoughts on the griffon are rather mixed. On one hand, Faceless currently holds a small degree of respect for Gry for being able to wear the clothing he does as a human and not feel ashamed, but at the same time feels too embarassed to even look at him.
Background[]
Faceless died at a young age and her soul wandered until she found her way into Little Garden. Queen Halloween took her in and Faceless trained to be a knight. Eventually Faceless earned the favor of Queen Halloween and became both her favorite knight and her most powerful. It has been stated Faceless is a name Queen gave to the girl even though Faceless already knew her true name.
Plot[]
Volume 3[]
Faceless saves Asuka from one of the Titans as it attacked her in the fog. The knight then began to massacre the many others by herself, startling those around her. When she confirmed Asuka's safety, the knight went back to fight more of the Titans and was influential in pushing them back. During the second attack it was mentioned she was at the front lines once more, which caused Jack and Ayesha to go assist her.
The next day the [No Name]s are introduced to Faceless, the favored knight of Queen Halloween, whom Jack affectionately calls Feisi. She had offered her assistance in Yō's endeavor to apologize to Izayoi, by bringing similar headphones that Yō's dad had to Little Garden. As she lead everyone to the ceremony grounds, it was mentioned by Black Rabbit that Faceless was indeed human despite her amazing accomplishments and feats of strength.
During the ceremony Faceless had Yo sitting in the middle of an ecliptic circle of the Zodiac for half a day while the knight activates the ceremony. Once it was finished, Faceless remarks about a disturbance during the ritual and asks to look at Yō's Gift. Faceless explained that Yō's Gift is more than simply absorbing the power of animals, and that it could have been the cause of the failure of the ritual. Faceless warns Yō that her Gift is sometimes too much for a human to handle, and leaves.
