Sheele

Sheele was a member of the Revolutionary Army's assassin group, Night Raid, and the user of the Teigu Extase.

Appearance
Sheele was a slender-yet-curvaceous young woman with long, purple hair and eyes. She usually wore a revealing, sleeveless lilac cheongsam with detached lilac arm sleeves and white boots. She usually had her Teigu with her. She wore glasses and had a scar on her right cheek. During her earlier appearances, she wore a hat.

Personality
Sheele was an airhead, often losing her glasses or failing at any chores she tried to do due to her clumsiness; however, she was very kind and caring to her friends, willing to sacrifice her life for them, as seen with Mine. However, her attitude changed completely when she killed, becoming cold and impassive; she described it as having "a screw loose" in her mind, which made her a talented killer. She believed that getting rid of "society's trash" was the only thing she could do well, and therefore couldn't be considered useless.

She was shown to apologize to those she kills, often as a force of habit.

History
Growing up in the low districts of the Capital, Sheele's clumsy nature caused many people throughout her life to often consider her useless, isolating her from nearly everyone. At one point in her past, she had a friend who didn't mind her personality, but was attacked by her ex-boyfriend. Sheele killed the ex-boyfriend in order to protect her, revealing that she had a strange talent for killing. However, in the end, this broke their friendship. Soon after, a gang related to the man she killed earlier sought revenge against her and had already murdered her parents. Sheele coolly killed the group and was later scouted by the Revolutionary Army, who had learned of her ability.

By joining, she wanted to use her talent in a way that would make her useful to others by helping fix society. She was one of the first members to warm up to Tatsumi, comforting him while he mourned his deceased friends from his home village. Later, she was attacked by Seryu, and Koro and killed while saving Mine from harm. However, she managed to cut off Seryu's arms in the process, and allowed Mine to gain insight into Seryu's moves, which would prove critical during their second showdown.

Legacy
All of Night Raid was affected by her loss, with even the normally-stoic Akame breaking down in tears in front of Tatsumi. Both Tatsumi and Mine swore vengeance against Seryu, with Tatsumi nearly blowing his cover in front of the Jaegers, which Seryu becomes a member of. When Tatsumi and Mine find Kaku in possession of Extase, they are enraged by his usage of Sheele's former weapon and kill him, reclaiming the Teigu. Steele's death was avenged when Mine brutally cut Koro and Seryu in half, who in turn attempts to kill Mine with a suicide nuclear bombing, but fails when Tatsumi rescues her, leaving Seryu's final attempts in vain.

Equipment and Skills
Sheele wielded a Teigu in the form of a giant pair of scissors called Cutter of Creation: Extase, which is said to be able to cut through anything. She could use its trump card to make her Teigu shine a blinding light.

As seen from her battles against Seryu Ubiquitous, Sheele is extremely agile, quick and powerful when using her Teigu, as seen where Seryu noted on her slash and thrusts speed and strength as being heavy. Sheele herself is shown to also posses immense reflexes and reaction speed, having been shown to easily deflect Seryu's shots using her hidden guns and later react to Koro's surprise attacks instantly.

She has also shown to be very ruthless in battle, due to her unique mindset and a natural talent for killing. She could think straight in a deathly battle and kill enemies without remorse while having a clear mind.
