Character: Cielo
Series:
Digital Devil SagaCharacter Age: Appears about 17.
Canon: In a barren world called the Junkyard, five Tribes battle each other for the right to enter ‘Nirvana,’ where they’ll be granted all they desire. Which can’t be much at first, because they’re emotionless fighting machines-at least until a flash of light comes down and changes everything. Unlocked emotions, memories, human identities? Check. Transformation into demons? Cannibalism for survival? Hey, why not? Sounds like a winning combination, right?
Cielo goes from complete blank to upbeat comedian very early on, gaining an extremely optimistic personality along with a distinctive Jamaican accent. He’s cheerful, honest, awkward, and loves to dance and joke; he’s also fiercely loyal and believes in shouldering one’s own burdens. He has the ability to transform into Dyaus, a birdlike demon alternately known as ‘Father of the Sky.’
