Dead

Dead is the incarnation of the Dead Master character, appearing in the Innocent Soul manga. She is a senior Black Star who is registered as Black Star 012370.

Appearance
Dead has the appearance of a teenage girl (who appears somewhat more mature than Rock) with pale skin, green eyes, and wavy black hair. She wears a white sleeveless half-shirt, a black tie decorated with a star, a white skirt with a striped belt, claw elbow gloves, black leggings and black pumps. Her horns and pair of small wings are black.

Her weapon of choice this time is not her Dead Scythe, but a three-pronged sword.

Personality
Dead's personality is quite childish, carefree and joking. Despite being a Black Star, Dead seems to have negative feelings to her job of collecting souls (saying that the purified souls disgusted her). When she fights she shows calm and wit that lets her use the lamentations of her enemies against them.

She has a strange attraction to Rock, which is evident whenever she is around.

Plot
She is seen stalking Rock and Ron for unknown reasons. She later takes an unconscious Rock from the battlefield after fighting the soul of Hanako Nakamura. Dead thanks them for their effort and ate Hanako's soul, which astounded Ron.

Dead later wakes up next to Rock in a room and takes her on a tour of the place where purified souls are taken to Heaven. After reaching the area where souls are purified, Dead stole a soul and fled. She led Rock to a dungeon where they kept the souls of those who could not be purified and freed one of them. Rock started a fight, but strange memories flashed through her mind and left her helpless. Dead fights the hostile spirit and defeats the spirit, only to leave to places unknown afterwards.

Dead is later seen harassing a stagnant soul by the name of Kaede, and Rock and Ron confront her and drive her away. They find that instead of being relieved that the ravenous Dead is gone, Kaede has fallen in love with the tainted Black Star. Kaede's powers of illusion amaze Rock, and she wishes to see what other things love can do. On cue, Dead reappears to reclaim her prize, claming that the lost soul is "hers".

However, she is surprised when Kaede confesses love to her. Dead immediately reacts with disdain and decides to leave, but is stopped by Rock and thrown at Kaede, resulting in a collision. It is revealed through the collision that Kaede is in fact a girl. Angry and hurt, Kaede traps Dead in an illusory bottle, almost drowning her. Rock rescues her, and Dead discusses with Kaede, and they finally end up kissing. Kaede is devoured by Dead through the kiss, who then leaves, but not before telling Rock to "continue being delicious as you are".

Having died in a car crash in her former life, Dead was told by Ram that if she ate enough souls, she would be able to come back to life and reunite with her fiancée. When she learns this was a lie, she breaks down and becomes a stagnated soul herself.

Dead as stagnant soul begins to destroy everything around them, along with a lot of Black Stars. Rock attempt to make her remember who it was but kept fighting. Rock to keep trying to recover Dead, she explains it that he can not live knowing that is dead and can not return, immediately hug Rock and made the stab killing her.

Abilities
Unlike her other incarnations, she, like Rock, has the ability to cause a green flame to appear from her right eye. This may be because of her being a Black Star.

As stagnant soul skeletal wings on his back let you fly and also function as arms to strike and crush. He was also seen using a giant ax.

Trivia

 * Dead has the habit of chewing anything around her when she sleeps (i.e. a teddy bear or Rock's hair).
 * With every stagnated soul Dead devours, the stronger and more "sadistic" she becomes.
