Maiden Astraea is a onara fighter and the true final boss of the game in Eight Marbles 2X. She is originally from the game Demon Souls.
Orignally, she found out the secret to God's existence and accepted the soul of a demon to ease the troubled abandoned. She sat in the Valley of Defilement, helping the sick accompanied by her bodyguard, Garl Vinland.
For some reason Lacus noticed how powerful she was, captured her and brung her to the Eight Marbles universe. The reasons why are unknown.
She sits on top of a undead being, as the Valley of Defilement has probably made her too weak to walk. The being even has to throw her when she wants to jump. Having been in the Valley so long and having the soul of a demon has made her farts into the miasma of death and corruption. Anyone who would inhale them are destined to die.
Eight Marbles 2X[]
In Eight Marbles 2X she is playable by going to a hidden slot in the character select screen. She is a Last Boss, so she has overpowered moves and abilites that are unique to her.
