Relationships

Nyx is the Primordial Goddess of the Night and the younger sister of Erebus in Greek mythology and one of the creators of Thanatos, Hypnos, and Oneiroi. Nyx and her brother joined Hades and the Alliance of Hell to eliminate the DxD team, Longinus users, chief-gods of each mythology, and Ajuka Beelzebub.

Appearance[]

Nyx is a beautiful young woman with the cute face of a child that has long black hair and with pointy ears. She wears a cute frilly dress called Godly Virgin Killer Clothes that has a corset jumper skirt. Her body also gives out a tremendous dark aura.

Personality[]

Nyx is a cheerful, yet sadistic person who enjoys seeing others in pain and suffering. After receiving her special garment, Nyx became arrogant enough to believe she is untouchable by those who are virgins. But despite this, Nyx is shown to be honorable as she accepts her defeat at the hands of Issei with a satisfied smile and shares information about Hades.

She is not above praising others such as Rias being worthy of being Issei’s King because she figured that Nyx was waiting for Issei to attack her.

Like her brother Erebus, she is shown to be concerned about the unchecked power of the Longinus Sacred Gears, as she views them as abnormal anomalies that greatly interfere in the world.

Equipment[]

Godly Virgin Killer Clothes: These are special-made clothing she received from the Gods of Hell, which makes her immune to attacks from virgin males such as Issei. As such, techniques such as Dress Break, Pailingual, and even Penetrate that can bypass all defenses has proven ineffective against Nyx. After being touched by virgins, it can impose fatal curses on them. However, these clothes doesn't defend her against the shockwaves caused by the canceled attacks. Issei was able to destroy them using Dress Break DxD, which was further strengthened by Ingvild's song using Nereid Kyrie.
