TemP (テンプ, Tenpu) is the 3rd of the Initial-Y Series, Aerial, also known as The Fluttering Butterfly. Her master is "Ω".

Personality[]

TemP has a proud and over the top, leaning towards dramatic personality, as shown when she was en route to Thailand to confront RyuZU she spent the entire time thinking of how to best make her entrance. Part of this stems from reading manga, and having learned certain tropes from manga, misidentifies Vermouth as a cross-dressing pervert.

Her personality is shy and clumsy, which she recognizes when referring to herself.

TemP also has a distinctly perverted side of her, as shown when she fantasizes about grinding her boot into RyuZU's head and stealing her boyfriend Naoto from her only so she can toss him aside when she is finished with him. TemP recognizes this to some degree and is able to push her thoughts aside while on a mission.

Appearance[]

TemP has orange-reddish hair with green eyes and is shorter than RyuZU. She wears an old-fashioned styled dress with a green headband that looks like leaves, and white stripped blue leggings with green on them. Her clothes have a natural feel to them. Her dress shows ample cleavage and her chest is more visible than that of her sisters.

TemP also wears a gear shaped shackle around her neck. This was placed on her by Ω and is a sign of him being her master. Should he relinquish his ownership over her the shackle will self-destruct, freeing her. 

Upon activation of Moon Phase, TemP is able to turn invisible at will. However, this has no bearing on her appearance, other than making her look slightly brighter when she is not invisible.

Abilities & Equipment[]

As an automaton created by Y, her power rivals her siblings. However, as a major precaution by Y, TemP had not been programmed with a combat algorithm. This meant that despite her enormous powers, she was unable to harness them to their full potential. If she had a combat algorithm optimized for her capabilities, her abilities would rival even AnchoR's.

Resonance Mechanism - TemP's attack and defense is made up of contact-based resonance, able to blow apart anything with resonant waves. When she was hit by a truck, the truck was flattened and destroyed instantly. She is also able to project these attacks to terrifying effect, blowing apart the roof that RyuZU and Vermouth were watching from from a distance. According to Vermouth, if he had been standing on the roof he'd no longer possess any legs.

The phononic gear gives TemP complete control over its vibration as sound and light. She can send phonons to neutralize and interfere with any vibration. As an auxiliary ability, by treating sounds (phonon) as a wave, she can manipulates the "refraction" and "scattering" of the electromagnetic spectrum. TemP can use this for strengthening her body with resonance, converting the stored energy into phonons and employing them as a defensive wave. In terms of attack, her ability is second to none, only being weakened by the lack of a proper combat algorithm.

Moon Phase - TemP's unique function, a function that allows her to manipulate phonons, or sound particles, giving her the ability to neutralize all vibrations and interfere with the boundaries of matter. In this state, she is able to convert from being solid matter to a being of pure energy. It was developed a prerequisite technology for AnchoR's unique function, the "Perpetual Gear".

Weaknesses - TemP does not possess a proper combat algorithm, forcing her to make all of her calculations personally. This results in her being unable to perform simple acts for an automaton, often resulting in humiliating fails. Her resonance also is limited, and unlike AnchoR's "resonance cannon", it will not damage the target unless it comes into contact.

  • Moon Phase - Requires a very large output of energy, and should she miss her target she would eventually be left helpless. Her resonance can also be cancelled out by an equal level of resonance from another target. This allows sufficiently armed automata like her sister AnchoR to defeat her by wearing her down with resonance cannons. 

Character History[]

Prior History[]

She was once destroyed by RyuZU 200 years ago due to the latter deeming her as defective.

Sometime between her destruction and present day, Ω acquires her body and rebuilds and upgrades her, assuring her that she is not defective. This act earns TemP's blind loyalty towards her master.

Shangri-La Arc[]

Learning of RyuZU having found herself a boyfriend, TemP begged Ω to allow her to go find her eldest sister. Her master acquiesced to TemP's demands and sent her in a shipping container to Thailand to confront RyuZU. En-route TemP practiced how to best introduce herself, conversing with a junior guard on the ship. Due to the secrecy surrounding the Initial-Y, both the junior and senior guards who had heard her were disposed of upon arrival.

She is first hinted at by Vainney Halter during his "betrayal" of Second Epsilon, where he threatened RyuZU with, "a fight between sisters".

TemP's contact in Thailand is Kiu Tai Yu, and she stays with him as he refuses to tell her where her sisters are. She is present as his tower when Halter brings Naoto Miura to meet her. Initially dismissive of the boy, she is quickly rendered defenseless, his lustful advances getting the better of her. She is able to shove him away, and remains for the meeting and discussions between Naoto and Kiu.

Having grown tired of Kiu's mind games, she decides to strike out on her own, tracking down Vermouth and Halter as they meet. Muttering that Kiu had a hideous fashion sense and disgusted with his antics, TemP spent a while daydreaming of how to subjugate RyuZU and Naoto to pay them back for the humiliation she had suffered. She follows Vermouth, eventually arriving at the hotel Second Epsilon used as their base.

RyuZU and Vermouth confront her upon the rooftops, and after exchanging pleasantries, TemP hurls herself at them. However, she miscalculates her distance and winds up crashing and burying herself in the street. As the dumbfounded Vermouth questions her capabilities, she is hit by a truck. TemP, having become thoroughly fed up with the city, decides to throw a tantrum. Vermouth then casually insults her, prompting her to fire and nearly obliterate his legs.

TemP is then attacked by RyuZU, who flings junk and debris at her. Countering with blasts of resonance, TemP becomes enraged when the particles left by the flying objects covers her in dust. Finally, she decides to attack with her inherent function, prompting Vermouth to flee.

The battle between the First and Third of the Initial Y raged on, with RyuZU dodging and TemP using her for target practice. Despite TemP's lack of a combat algorithm, RyuZU finds herself unable to attack, resorting to burning away TemP energy stores. Their battle is interrupted by AnchoR midway, and together the two automata of the Second Epsilon fight off TemP until evening, where she finally winds down.

Having been defeated, TemP sulks, telling RyuZU to finish her off. She is protected by AnchoR, however, who tells her that Naoto may be able to fix her and guide her to use her abilities to the fullest. TemP listens to her youngest sister's speech, but is unable to bring herself to accept the offer, choosing instead to escape.

She reappears on the boat the Second Epsilon reunites at, seizing the opportunity to kiss Naoto and humiliate RyuZU. Even as RyuZU decides to kill her, TemP continues to taunt the older automaton. Marie offhandedly wonders where Ω is hiding, prompting TemP to reveal her master is in Switzerland.

Relationships[]

RyuZU[]

TemP believes that RyuZU hates her as her Elder Sister destroyed her two centuries before the start of the series. As such, she refers to RyuZU as a barbaric dummy with terrible taste. She's deeply affected by how cold and condescending RyuZU acts, and hates that part about her. Despite this, she stated in was looking forwards to the impending reunion with two of her sisters - RyuZU being one of the two. RyuZU on the other hand did not wish to see TemP again. As she stated, she did love TemP as her friend and Elder Sister, but due to the fact that TemP had seemingly forgotten "the supreme purpose you were given, the abilities you were endowed with, their proper use, everything", RyuZU sees her as junk and a failure, willing to completely obliterate her younger sister over the fact. This stems from how TemP was never built with an algorithm for precision, and also did not know what she was truly meant to do. After TemP kisses Naoto, RyuZU became blind with cold rage and declared that she would first destroy TemP,  followed by attempting a murder-suicide of her master Naoto for allowing it to happen.

AnchoR[]

TemP bears no ill will towards AnchoR, and was looking forwards to the impending reunion with two of her sisters - AnchoR being one of the two. When AnchoR interrupted her fight against RyuZU though, TemP noted that she wouldn't hold back against her should she try to stop TemP from destroying RyuZU as TemP did not wish to be destroyed again. AnchoR's relationship with TemP is much simpler. She sees TemP as her older sister, and loves her to the point of convincing RyuZU to back down and wear her out so she may be repaired rather than destroy her, as RyuZU wanted to do initially.

BezEL[]

As both were inactive it is hard to tell if Temp misses her older sister.

Naoto Miura[]

When she first met Naoto, she was highly dismissive of him, claiming that he looked dull and scoffed that a 'chump like him is Eldest Sister’s first boyfriend'. However, this changed once Naoto began making moves on her and claiming that he loved and was tied to her by Fate. Since then, she has acted as a tsundere towards him, mostly out of respect to her master. Due to her clash with RyuZU and the deep impression Naoto left on her, TemP wishes deeply to humiliate RyuZU, and kisses Naoto to do so. Naoto on the other hand refers to TemP as TemP-chan, and is very affectionate towards her whenever they meet, much to RyuZU's chagrin.

Kiu Tai Yu[]

Kiu hosts TemP during her stay in Thailand. TemP considers Kiu to be a rotten, naggy man with poor fashion taste. Having been continuously waylaid from her desire to see her sisters by Kiu's demands, she eventually goes rogue, leaving the tower to find RyuZU. She considers him a paltry human who is beneath her, and after analyzing her host, decides he could never get a girlfriend. She also displays no loyalty to his cause, telling RyuZU plainly that she couldn't care less about the situation in Shangri-La.

Ω[]

Ω was the one who had repaired her after her destruction at RyuZU's hands. She is blindly loyal to him, despite how much he has mistreated both RyuZU and AnchoR. Part of it is due to ignorance, as Ω allows her to do as she pleases. As such, she believes him when he claims that she is completely free to do as she wishes, and is thus unknowingly manipulated by him.

During the manga she has an even stronger loyalty to him, and upon being rejected as "defective" her mental state crumbles, and when RyuZU comes to kill her she made no move to save herself.

Trivia[]

  • She possesses twintails, an anime trope of a tsundere.
  • It's theorized that her name "テンプ" refers to the balance wheel, the timekeeping device in mechanical watches and smaller clocks.
