Chimera&#039;s appearance, masked or unmasked, is generally anomalous for her gender. She usually dons a ghastly skeletal mask with a green wig attached to it, concealing her blonde hair color (the green color is possibly exclusive to only the anime, however, as the cover of volume 13 shows a blonde-haired masked Chimera). Since her enlisting for the Chess Pieces she&#039;s fashioned her hair spiky, a mode far more commonly styled for males, and (exclusively for the anime) builds up her stature into a more masculine form, misleading people about her actual gender. In addition to these extraordinary outward features, Chimera&#039;s facial appearance carries hideously unique traits: she wears a grotesque mass of eyeballs on the left side of her face, stitches a horizontal black line on the scar across her nose&#039;s bridge, and seasons the overall gruesome sight by piercing her Knight insignia earring on the tip of her tongue.     ~!When she was getting married to Marco, some villagers came and took Marco away by force since he was once part of the Chess Pieces.

Enigmatic, androgynous and maybe even immortal (her exact birth-year is unknown, and flashbacks to 1922 show Subaru appearing no younger than she does in 1928), Subaru was another member of the short-lived European Hoshigumi alongside Ratchet. She is acknowledged as a genius, and said to have never been defeated in any form of competition or combat. As such, she tends to come off as a little arrogant and looks at everything in an analytical sense. Thus she takes an interest in things that she cannot comprehend completely such as Shinjiro's charisma and the concept of jazz music.
