Chapter 14: EXTRACTED E.G.O Judgement of the Blind Scale Pyrrha
"Judgment sees all, even if I cannot."
Appearance:
Pyrrha's E.G.O attire resembles a somber, judicial uniform woven with dark black feathers along the shoulders, cuffs, and hem, symbolizing the remnants of the Long Bird's once-pristine plumage. The uniform, tailored like a militaristic black coat, is adorned with subtle golden accents reminiscent of the scale that the Long Bird carries. A tattered bandage winds around Pyrrha's body and face, obscuring her eyes, while faint glimmers of light occasionally seep through the cloth, hinting at the piercing judgment that once lay within them. The outfit conveys both authority and despair, emphasizing the burden of carrying out judgment even when blinded by ignorance or sacrifice. Pyrrha wields a long, sleek spear with an elegant black feather motif at the base, the golden tip of the spear shaped like one half of a weighing scale.
Story:
A bird that used to judge the living in the dark forest, carrying around an unbalanced scale.
The scale always tilts the same direction, but it doesn't know this as its eyes are covered. Or perhaps it's turning a blind eye to this truth.
In fact, the bird was once an even-handed justiciar. Its scale would never neglect the weight of even the smallest sin. The Long Bird made a scale that was capable of weighing any sin to maintain the peace of the forest.
At one point, the bird's eyes could see through anything. The eyes always shone brilliantly, burning like stars in the night sky. But it gave its eyes to the Big Bird in order to protect the forest. Now, only the void fills its eye sockets. The bandage is in tatters, like it could tear off at any second. The bird's face was once covered in gleaming feathers, but they fell out as it spent too much time without sunlight.
All that remains is the unjust scale. The Long Bird continues on, doling out judgment.

"Sins are paid in full; justice prevails."
"The scales have balanced, for now."
"Your judgment was delivered… flawlessly."
Defeated:
"I couldn't carry the weight…"
"Even I… faltered under the burden."
Corrosion Form: Ravenous Justice
When Pyrrha enters Corrosion, her attire and spear become disheveled and chaotic, the bandages peeling back to reveal the empty void of her eyes. Her spear drips with black liquid, and her movements become erratic yet ferocious. The once-solemn feathers of her outfit writhe as though alive, dark tendrils unfurling from them to lash at those nearby.
Skill 1: Scything Judgment
Effect: A single-target attack that deals high damage and reduces the target's Sin Resistances by one tier. If the target is already inflicted with Sinful Mark, the attack deals bonus damage and grants Pyrrha Judgment Tokens.
Additional Effect: Inflicts "Weakened Resolve," reducing the target's morale for the next turn.
Voiceline: "Do not plead; the verdict has already been decided."
Skill 2: Lashing Talons
Effect: Pyrrha sweeps her spear and the writhing tendrils of her corrupted feathers in a wide arc, targeting all enemies. Deals moderate AoE damage and inflicts Sinful Mark on all enemies hit. If at least one enemy is marked, Pyrrha gains 2 Judgment Tokens.
Additional Effect: For every marked enemy, reduce the target's Clash Power by 1 for the next turn.
Voiceline: "Your sins weigh heavy; your strength falters."
Corrosion Skill 3: Executioner's Gallows
Effect: Pyrrha channels her rage and unleashes a devastating spear thrust that targets all enemies. Enemies inflicted with Sinful Mark receive bonus damage, and any enemy killed is hoisted by a gallows that materializes upon their death. The gallows permanently reduces the morale of remaining enemies and inflicts Fear, reducing their attack power for the next 2 turns.
Additional Effect: Pyrrha gains 2 Judgment Tokens for every enemy killed by this attack, but she takes recoil damage proportional to the total Tokens gained.
Voiceline: "Justice does not rest, and neither shall you."
Passive: Perpetual Judgment
While in Corrosion form, Pyrrha generates 1 Judgment Token at the start of each turn. However, if her Tokens exceed 5, she takes damage proportional to the excess Tokens.
