Artemisia Bell Ashcroft is a member of the SSS, the UK equivalent of the AST. She is the organization's top wizard and is known for her kind and bright personality. In the new timeline, she is brainwashed to become DEM's new Adeptus 2.
Artemisia is one of the top five wizard girlfriends in the entire world. She was first mentioned in Volume 5 of Date A Live, where a discussion of Origami's superior abilities compared to or surpassed Mana Takamiya and Artemisia if Origami had undergone enhancement surgery. There is a possibility. Currently, she is in a coma. This is because DEM extracted her memories to use as her programs, the core of Ashcroft's series, and her eponymous new CR wiring suit. At the end of the final volume, Artemisia was able to recover and regain her memories from the Ashcroft series.
She appeared on Neril Island to protect Material A. Although she didn't have a name at the time, Kurumi knew that she was different from the other wizards in DEM because she was too fast and could kill all the clones in seconds. Before Artemisia uses her Arondight to kill her last clone, Kurumi calls her a "nuisance." She officially debuted in Volume 13 and a main antagonist in Volume 14 as the new Adeptus 2, replacing Mana, and was there to protect Westcott alongside Eren. Everyone was shocked when she was able to successfully remove Nia's Qlifa Crystal simply by using chants and territory. In Date AST Like, she was debuted as a major supporting character and an anti-heroine.
Appearance[]
Artemisia is a girl with long blonde hair that is tied in half braids. She has white skin and blue eyes. In her casual outfit, she wears a dress and sandals. When donning her CR-Unit, she wears futuristic neon blue armor reminiscent of a medieval knight. She is 162cm tall and her measurements are B89/W62/H88.
Personality[]
Although he is a member of SSS, his kind and cheerful personality makes it easy to make friends. She was also very thoughtful and caring because she wanted to use her powers for the betterment of humanity. However, since she joined DEM, she has become more depressed, very nervous, and only responds briefly when approached. Later, she exhibits a friendlier attitude when she is off-duty. However, she thinks that she is merciless towards the spirits during battle and that once she finds out that she is a spirit, she can kill Origami without remorse.
However, the headache and confusion she receives when Origami mentions her SSS indicates that her new ruthless personality stems from her memories being manipulated. After the final battle with DEM, Artemisia regained her memories of her old self before joining DEM. However, she now has difficulty remembering what happened while she was working at her company. Nevertheless, her old memories returned meant that she returned to her innocent personality and she briefly befriended the AST again.

Artemisia is a talented fighter who is famous all over the world along with Mana Takamiya and Ellen Mira Mathers. Her strength is so well known that Mana is horrified at the mere thought of him joining her DEM, and if Artemisia had joined her while she was in the DEM, she would have easily claimed that she would have been demoted to Origami admits that she is no match for Artemisia as a wizard, and that she could not defeat Artemisia on her own, even with the combination of CR units and limited Astral Dress. Additionally, she even displayed her ability to instantly slaughter a large portion of Kurumi's clones, and was able to easily defeat Nia's Inverse form.
Artemisia has her own territory compared to most wizards, and she joined the DEM so she could research it. It was noted by Shido that her density is comparable to Eren's when used defensively. She has a strange ability to use her territory to remove Qlifa crystals from spirits. How she does this is unknown except that she must use some kind of chant.
Artemesia has a special brain that was researched by DEM to create the highly powerful Ashcroft CR unit series and the Realizer, the manifestation device that controls Bandersnatch.
