Chariot (TV Anime Character)

Chariot is one of the new characters having to appear in the 2012 Black★Rock Shooter anime. She is said to have a cold gaze, as it feels as if she is piercing into your heart. She is the other self of Kagari Izuriha.

Appearance
Chariot is a pale skinned female wearing a dress with black and white tones. She wears a large spiked crown on her head, as well as claw-like gloves. Most notable is her choice of footwear: she wears black, metallic thighhighs with black and yellow wheels that can be used as cutting weapons.

Her weapons of choice are a black double-edged sword with yellow detail and an orange and brown wheel from her destroyed chariot that doubles up as a shield which is able to deploy spikes.

Plot
She is seen in the Otherworld, where she attacks Black★Rock Shooter and throws macaroons at her in a similar style to Kagari Izuriha.

She shows some control over Dead Master, forcing her to attack Black Rock Shooter. After Black Rock Shooter disables Dead Master, she notices a heart shaped scar on her chest and ceases her attack. However a large group of ants, presumably Chariot's, carries Dead Master away to a house in the sky. Black★Rock Shooter finds her there, but upon reaching for her, Chariot interrupts on her giant spider robot and attacks.

She is momentarily distracted by Dead Master breaking free from her chains, and Black★Rock Shooter takes the moment to gain the upper hand. Dead Master breaking free causes the chains to start the destruction of Chariot's world, which she gets swept up in; however, Black★Gold Saw appears, drives Dead Master into a fissure into the ground, and vanishes. Chariot tries to use the moment to stab Black★Rock Shooter, but instead, Black★Rock Shooter ignites her left eye's flame and beheads Chariot.

Later, Strength is shown dropping Chariot's body into an abyss, seemingly confirming that Chariot is dead.

Trivia

 * She bears a resemblance to SZZU from Black★Rock Shooter THE GAME
 * Chariot is the 2nd Black★Rock Shooter character to share a name with an Arcana of a Tarot Card. The 1st was Strength.


 * In the latest trailer, Chariot has been shown capable of using the wheels attached to her legs as a weapon against Black Rock Shooter.
 * Chariot's usage of wheels may be a shoutout to her potential human counterpart Kagari Izuriha, who is wheelchair bound and also she drops the "dirty colored" macaroons on Black★Rock Shooter 's face, the same colored ones Kagari gave Mato.
 * The spider-like monster that Chariot controlled could also be like Kagari's doll, Mary, as the creature is controlled and accompanies Chariot, like how Mary is controlled and accompanies Kagari.
 * She's the only "other Self" whose weapon has no name.
 * Strangely enough, when she was beheaded by BRS, there's no blood gushing out. However, when BRS cuts her left arm, she bled.
 * She bears no expression when she was beheaded. However, when STR threw her into the cliff, she had a scared expression on her face.
