"Neither one of us is a human... Thus,
I will perform your last rites, and proceed."

Vatista (バティスタ) is an Autonomic Nerve unit who has been around even before the founding of the Night Blade and Licht Kreis. Having ties to Kuon The Eternal, she has indirectly helped shape events that have brought about the current story as we know it.

She is one of the original twelve characters introduced in the first iteration of UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH.

Background

An Autonomic Nerve, with a mission to eliminate all Voids.

UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH

An ancient biological form known as Autonomic Nerves. They've existed for as long as we know, arguably an eternity, and emerge during the Hollow Night as its enforcers. She is one of them. On this Hollow Night, she detects an abnormal number of EXS levels, and awakens. Once awake, she wanders the Night as her program deems fit, making her way towards the Abyss. Her mission, to determine the source of the disturbance in EXS and eliminate it. But to her, Voids and In-Births are all enemies.

UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II [Sys:Celes]

Vatista is an Autonomic Nerve--a non-sentient biological weapon in the form of a young girl.

She awakened upon detection of anomalies within the Hollow Night and successfully eradicated Paradox, as instructed by her commander. With peace restored, Vatista was about to return to slumber. But then a new threat revealed itself: Kuon the Aeon, who threatened great tragedy to the world of humankind if left unchecked.

However, Vatista never received orders to act. And so, she sets out to do battle to save the world once again--this time of her own volition.

Appearance

Vatista has the look of a young, cute girl that looks to be in her tween years. She stands at 140cm tall, just barely making her the smallest character in the playable roster. She has incredibly long, white hair that goes well past her feet and trails along the ground, even while she's levitating. Her hair is done up in two ponytails held in place by two black cones and a set of headgear that several shots reveal they cover her ears, and a large hair antenna sticks outwards from the very top in a spiral formation, giving her the visage of angel when combined with her wings. Vatista has burgundy eyes, long, pointed ears, and a red gem that is embedded in her forehead.

She is usually depicted wearing a flared, black dress with a white collar, sleeves and dress, the latter two of which are ruffled. This dress is adorned with a red, glowing Curse Commandment pattern, which channels EXS throughout Vatista's body. She also wears black platform shoes, and a burgundy neckerchief with white trimmings.

Underneath the dress, Vatista wears a skintight, black bodysuit that is also adorned with similar Curse Commandment markings. She can be seen wearing this in her pre-match start animation, before she manifests her dress.

In the past, Vatista had a more mature looking figure, and wore a long, white robe in place of her more youthful self's black dress, giving her even more of an angelic visage.

Personality

Due to her origin as an Autonomic Nerve, Vatista possesses little desire beyond completing her mission. While her mission dictates that she must kill Voids and cull the In-Birth population, there are times where she will show mercy to those she is meant to kill and occasionally shows genuine emotion, normally in response to sudden events.

Even among the Autonomic Nerve units, Vatista is an especially rare case of poor "fuel efficiency". Other units do not require sleep and food as often as Vatista does.

Vatista lacks many concepts normal to humans, such as having difficulty understanding the concept of clothing when Hyde tried to explain and not understanding the implications of standing in a single public spot for an entire month.

Story

During ancient times, humanity created powerful weapons using the same technology they used to create Golems. These weapons were called Autonomic Nerves. Autonomic Nerves were given the purpose to watch over the Hollow Night and make sure no one consumes too much EXS.

Episode: Through the Door (開かれた扉)
Vatista awakens to greet the person who opened the gate to the Night, she explains that she doesn't have too much memory stored in her data banks so that she won't damage her main processing unit. However, the reason as to why she's speaking to this person is a reason that even she herself doesn't know.

Vatista begins to explain that she only awakens in times like these to act as a guide to people who journey into the Night and guide their way through the darkness.

Episode: Nighttime Void (虚ろの夜語り)
Vatista was once awake during the first large-scale fight between the Night Blade and Licht Kreis, which is now known as "The Licht Kreis War". While she never took any part in the war itself, she did give Kuon one of her seven wings in order to halt Waldstein's transformation into a Void, this wing would soon be known as the Insulator. She also retells the origin of the Night Blade and the story of the Hollow God.

Arcade Mode (アーケードモード)
Vatista is awakened into the Night and she is surprised that people don't use horses as a transport method anymore. On her way to search for information she then meets with Hyde. Together they take down the Paradox, but after that Vatista thinks there was a different person behind this incident who need to be taken down. Hyde suggests that Vatista would lodge at Hyde's place for a month until the next Hollow Night takes place.
