to her by a nun hundreds of years prior to Code Geass. The Geass power originally allowed her to make anyone around her love her, before leading to her being immortal and immune to both age and conventional injury. She has survived being burned at the stake, beheaded by a guillotine, and placed in an iron maiden. When she uses her power, a sigil glows on her body. When left alone, she sometimes appears to talk to herself and have discussions with those who aren't there. This is later revealed to be telepathic communication, Lelouch's deceased mother Marianne being among the recipients. C.C. can also give people the power of Geass or can cancel their Geass, and sense when other people have it. In close proximity, C.C. can give people hallucinations of dark or chaotic images, to lead people into a panic. She is a competent leader and operations planner, and can fight with mech, with guns, or hand to hand. In the Picture Dramas, during a discussion with Kallen, she states that she has the ability to do almost anything but chooses to let others do it. Calm and collected, she is strongwilled and pays little mind to inconveniencing others, and at times is with-holding of information. With a dry sense of humor, she has a nihilistic outlook on the world. Scornful of her immortality, she is lonely and isolated, although she shows fondness for the main protagonist Lelouch Lamperouge. C.C. has a strong liking for pizza, at times risking the exposure of her identity to obtain it. Appearances Character background Before C.C. gained the power of Geass, she was a ten-year-old orphaned slave. A nun gave C.C. the power of Geass, allowing C.C. to make anyone love her. When C.C. grew tired of forced love, she looked instead for love from the nun, who was above her power. However, when C.C.'s power had grown, the nun revealed she had tricked C.C. as a ploy to lose her immortality, and tortured the young woman until C.C. accepted the nun's Code. After C.C. gains immortality, a shock sequence in the first-season finale shows memories of her past, including repeated "deaths" of different types spanning centuries. Alive for hundreds of years, she speaks to Lelouch of Washington's Rebellion, referring to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin as if she had been close with both. She claims to have entered into magical Geass
