Antoinette Rouge

 (アントワネットローグ, Antowanetto Rōgu, Red Praise), formerly known as Akane Nobuko (信子茜, Faithful, Trustworthy Child of Red), was one of the many Kenmeiotome created after the birth of The Five Maidens had come to fruition.

Following the death of Namida Gyouzen in the Great Guardian Purge, had succeeded her predecessor as the second Mistress of the Flashing Crimson (点滅紅の愛人 Tenmetsugu no Aijin).

Personality
Antoinette's favorite foods were foot-long sandwiches and cheese. She disliked ginger, finding the texture and taste unappealing and disgusting. Antoinette had also taken a liking to dresses and regularly drags her friend, Manami Yume, into one of many escapades.

Powers and Abilities
Great Wisdom Power: High-speed Regeneration: Due to her Kenmeiotome Physiology, Antoinette possessed the capability to heal from her wounds almost instantaneously. She was more than able to escape from near-fatal wounds with little effort as well as large-scale attacks with very little indication of injuries whatsoever. Unlike the other Kenmeiotome, Antoinette was known to regularly use music as a catalyst for her regeneration. She also showed the ability to control the rate of her regeneration and when to regenerate as well. However, Antoinette was unable to survive from fatal injuries commonly associated with the complete destruction of her body and decapitation.
 * Levitation & Flight: Similar to Ayane's technique, Antoinette can use her Wisdom Energy to levitate herself off the ground. Through the manifestation of two Wisdom Rings around her ankles, Antoinette can achieve flight. When Antoinette combined Flight with her legendary Shuureiho, her speed was said to be unparallelled.

Enhanced Strength: Despite her seemingly short stature, Antoinette possessed a great deal of raw physical strength not relatively associated with a women of her size. Antoinette was able to shatter Kidō Barriers with brutal efficiency and crush boulders with her bare hands.

Enhanced Durability: Even for a Kenmeiotome, Antoinette possessed a moderate amount damage resistance. Despite having one of her arms cleanly severed from her body, Antoinette continued to fight her opponent without a flinch or any hint of pain.

Shuureiho Mastery
Shuureiho (しゅうれいほ, Graceful Step): Shuureiho was considered to be the Kenmeiotome's equivalent to a. An instinctive ability, it could greatly be improved through consistent training. Ever since her inception, had showcased a natural talent and interest in the Shuureiho Art, finding it to be an interesting concept to learn and master. She took Shuureiho quite seriously, and spent many centuries perfecting her art until she deemed it "the bare minimum of satisfactory".

was widely regarded to be the fastest Kenmeiotome following The Five Maidens. In battle, Antoinette preferred to employ simple Shuureiho to swiftly deal with weak enemies. In prolonged battles with stronger enemies, Antoinette used much more complicated means to combat the opposition. When her Shuureiho skills were combined with her combat abilities, Antoinette can purportedly devastate an entire legion of enemies completely on her alone and battle Kiyoko Takara as an equal for an extended period of time.

Due to her ability to cut down large swathes of enemies in her path, Antoinette was given the infamous title, Mistress of the Flashing Crimson, an epithet previously used by the deceased Namida Gyouzen.

The Tempest: 's mastery of Shuureiho was heavily evident in her use of the uniquely created Tempest Skills. The Tempest Skills were created by Antoinette after she realized that the Shuureiho Base Skills were too simple for her. However, the majority of Antoinette's Tempest Techniques were heavily derived from the Hyakkaseihou Concept, using enhanced variants of the previously mentioned for her own benefit. In order to use Tempest effectively, Antoinette regularly listened to Classical Music, using the rhythm of the beats to direct her attack patterns.
