Lambdadelta

Lambdadelta's History

Lambdadelta is the Witch of Certainty and Beatrice's sponsor who has come to observe her game. She first appears in Turn of the Golden Witch.

Lambda's defining trait is how emotive she is. She always wants to have fun, even if the means to that end seem contradictory to her role. Lambda is playfully cruel and doesn't care what kind of suffering others go through so long as it entertains her, though she occasionally shows compassion. This is exemplified in Alliance of the Golden Witch where she takes Beatrice's side but tries to make Battler stand up and fight when he loses faith in himself. Lambda is arrogant, having declared herself the strongest witch in the universe at one point and claiming that she's had historical buildings erected in her honor after granting people's wishes.

On the other hand, Lambda isn't very diligent. In End of the Golden Witch, her records for the Court of Illusions, which she oversaw, are just several lines long as opposed to Bernkastel's thousands of pages.

Lambda also has shades of idiocy, where she refers to herself as "super paper", a seeming acknowledgement of her thick-headedness, in reference to the rock-paper-scissors rivalry she has with Bern and Beatrice. Lambda's stupidity may just be an act however, as she will rarely take on a serious tone of voice. At other times, she remembers her Logic Error and breaks down

Long ago, Lambda was a Human. She was trapped inside of a logic error, being one of the few witches alongside Bern to succeed in solving one. It's implied she was responsible for Bern's creation when she trapped her in one of her own games.[6] Bern later defeated Lambda, alluding to this game being created from a "firm fate".

At some point, Lambda met the human form of Beatrice and took great interest in her game board built around Rokkenjima, granting her witch powers in exchange for borrowing it to trap Bern. The extra arc Memoirs of the ΛΔ expounds upon this in that she granted a girl's wish for certain determination to become a god at some point in the past. The result of this wish is supposed to have created a new witch for Lambda to play with.
