Characters

Main

Suguri Miyauchi (宮内すぐり, Miyauchi Suguri)

Daughters of Zelophehad

The Daughters of Zelophehad (Hebrew: בְּנוֹת צְלָפְחָד‎) were five sisters - Mahlah, Noah (or Noa), Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah - mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, who lived at the end of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt as they prepared to enter the Promised Land and who raised before the Israelite community the case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family. Zelophehad (possibly meaning "first born"), a man of the Tribe of Manasseh, had five daughters but no sons, and therefore no male heirs.

Biblical account

The biblical text tells little of Zelophehad himself, save that he died during the 40 years when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, and explicitly that he played no part in Korah's rebellion.Numbers 16 does not in any case cite the tribe of Manasseh as being involved in the rebellion against Moses.

Zelophehad's daughters petitioned Moses, Eleazar the priest, the chieftains, and the whole assembly, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for their right to inherit his property rights in the Land of Israel. Zelophehad's daughters noted that their father Zelophehad had not taken part in Korah's rebellion, but only died in his own sin. Zelophehad's daughters argued that were they not to inherit, then Zelophehad's name would be lost to his clan. Moses took their case to God. God told Moses that the plea of Zelophehad's daughters was just, and that they should be granted their father's hereditary holding.

Key Spirits

Amir Gaul

The strongest member of the 6 "Key Spirits" of the show. At first, Amir Gaul appeared as a turquoise being who could summon two feathered wings to create its powerful wind-based attacks. After it started morphing, it first awakened as a phoenix; then, at its second awakening, it returned to its humanoid form, this time with the addition of feathered, golden armor. In its final form, Amir Gaul is able to open its eyes. Its rightful, chosen owner is Zed. Amir Gaul probably chooses Zed because they both desire an end to the meaningless fights between the nations. Since Amir Gaul is the strongest of all 6 key Spirits, it cannot be taken from Zed unless Amir Gaul chooses to break that relationship. Anyone attempting to use Amir Gaul against its will, other than Zed, will experience extreme pain and sickness.

Noa (name)

Noa is both a feminine given name and a surname. The Hebrew: נוֹעָה‎ is a popular name for girls in Israel, meaning "movement" or "motion".

In the Bible Noa (or Noah) was one of the Five Daughters of Zelophehad. Noa ( 乃愛) is also a Japanese feminine name meaning "my love, affection."
