Illness

Illness is the codename of a young woman dressed in a Gothic-style black and yellow dress, often carrying a matching parasol. A member of the Mask Makers, Illness is one of the four highest-ranked assassins of the group. She befriends Czes and Claudia on the trip despite her actual reason for being on the ship. Like Luchino, she has a tendency to get nauseous after a killing spree. Since infancy, Illness was worshiped as a god by a branch of SAMPLE and experienced constant abuse at their hands. When the branch was annihilated by the Mask Makers, she was taken in as one of them.

SAMPLE intends to use Illness for their own means, and after the events on "The Entrance" and "The Exit" she is kidnapped by the cult and is to marry their next god-candidate.
