Nezha

An elite military commander of the Heavens, Marshal of the Central Altar, Nezha.

After a tragic death on earth, she was reborn from a lotus flower.

She is the biggest rival to The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, or Sun Wukong, who is famed to have defeated ninety-six demons (or at least, she thinks she is).

Height/Weight: 164cm, 57kg

Origin: "Investiture of the Gods," "Journey to the West"

Region: China

Alignment: Neutral-Good

Sub-Attribute: Heaven

Gender: Female

Originally, she was a low-ranking god called Nalakuvara in Hindu mythology. She became known in China as a Buddhist guardian god, and was ultimately added to Taoist teachings as the child god Prince Nezha. She is still worshipped and known mainly around China and Eastern Asian regions to this day.

Nezha appears as a key character in the "Investiture of the Gods."

In "Journey to the West," she appears in order to subdue Sun Wukong (who was running amok in the Heavens) and is also sent by the Lord of Heaven multiple times to help Monk Sanzang's party throughout their journey.

『Flying Bright Spirit, Fire-Tipped Spear』

Rank: A

NP Type: Anti-Army

Nezha's scorching charge attack propels her into the sky using acceleration from the Wind Fire Wheels. She then becomes one with her spear and rushes the enemy at full speed.

It is a powerful technique designed for the decisive battle against Sun Wukong, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. As a Lancer, Nezha uses this technique to draw out the maximum strength of her Noble Phantasm, the Fire-Tipped Spear.

Nezha is neither human nor a sage. She was born from a jewel sent to earth by Taiyi Zhenren, the sage of the Kunlun Mountains.

In addition to the Universe Ring and Red Armillary Sash that Nezha possessed at birth as her Baobei (treasured objects), Taiyi Zhenren presented Nezha with new Baobei at every opportunity. Among them were the Demon-Slicing Sword, the Demon-Hacking Blade, the Demon-Tying Rope, the Demon-Defeating Pestle, the Embroidered Sphere, the Wind Fire Wheels, and the Fire-Tipped Spear.

Growing up on earth, Nezha was not evil, but she was still something of a ruffian. When a god scolded her for polluting a river, Nezha killed the god, and even killed a higher ranking god. She was scolded for her actions, and it seemed disaster would befall her earthly parents, so she took her own life.

After multiple complications, Nezha was later resurrected as the spirit of a lotus flower. Her revival was helped not only by Taiyi Zhenren, but also by the Buddha himself.

Having been summoned as a Lancer, Nezha's nature is closest to that of the Buddhist guardian found in "Journey to the West." If she had been summoned as the violent Nezha immediately prior to her suicide, she would likely have been a Berserker.

As it happens, Taiyi Zhenren was quite nonchalant about assigning a gender to his creation, so Nezha was actually treated like a child who had yet to reach puberty.

This means that Nezha's body, post-resurrection, does not share the gender she had in her past life...and it's too late to do anything now.

Nezha is proud of her body's origin and functions, but the moment the topic of her gender is brought up, she becomes awkward and uncomfortable.
