Nagi Arisuin

"I met Shizuku, and I finally remembered. What kind of adult I wanted to be. The desire that I myself tried to run away from, to rebel against, to throw away…"

- Nagi Arisuin

Nagi Arisuin was from an orphanage located in Eurasia with his best friend Yuuri who died soon after their counties' government officials and mayor hired a gang in order to kidnap all of the kids from the orphanage to clean up their streets. Nagi saved all the kids in the orphanage after killing the gang, but this caused them to become afraid of him. Afterward, he would later be known as the Black Assassin in Rebellion under the tutelage of the One-Armed Swordsman Wallenstein who killed the mayor for him.

He is later sent to Hagun Academy as a first-student and spy for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival as one of the students of Akatsuki Academy prior to his betrayal.

Appearance
Nagi is a very effeminate looking man, having many effeminate features, like soft eyes, and very girlish lips, although this may be due to the fact that he believes he is a girl trapped inside a man's body. He has very long dark hair, that covers most of his forehead, and goes down all the way his ears.

He is usually seen wearing his Hagun academy school uniform as well. He also wears a religious cross, tied in with a necklace, around his neck.

Personality
Nagi is a very kind-hearted person who cares for his roommate Shizuku, constantly encouraging her and supporting her love towards her own older brother Ikki. He also seems to be very analytical, more so than he is leading on, as he analyzed Ikki and told him that Ikki's strength and his pain tolerance were the same things, even stating that it will someday destroy him.

The kind-hearted person, however, was shown to be just a persona of his, to trick the other students into believing that he was harmless when in actuality he is very cruel and doesn't even care about his supposed friend Shizuku, stating that she will still be done in.

Eventually, Nagi started to really care about Shizuku and the others as real friends, this would cause Nagi to betray Akatsuki and Rebellion.
