Shaula Gorgon is the main villainess of the prequel spin-off series Soul Eater NOT! She was one of the Gorgon sisters, along with her two older sisters Arachne and Medusa Gorgon. Due to her youthful appearance, she is the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters. Shaula does not seem to have any large grating with one of her older sisters instead of just seeing them as rivals that must be overcome for her to reach her goals. Despite its relative obscurity, compared to her infamous older sisters, she resolutely believes she is the top out of all the sisters, which means that she sees them as inferior, despite the fact that they are probably older and therefore much more experienced than her.

In the anime, she was voiced by Ami Koshimizu in the Japanese dub, who also voiced Sailor Jupiter in Sailor Moon Crystal. In the American English dub, she was voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell.

Personality[]

Shaula, like her older sister Medusa, shares an interest in experimental research, driven by the singular interest in destroying the organization known as "Shibusen". It is since she seemed to have developed into a strong sense of ambition but at the cost of her becoming both boastful and conceited. Rather like Medusa, she remains composed even while being dismissive of her previous experiments, especially of those whom are not deemed useful any longer. She seems to be using these Traitors as prototypes to further the creation of a being capable of defeating the students of Shibusen, an objective which is strangely similar to those of her relations. She also seems to share Arachne's fondness of lavish and high-quality things, demonstrated by the various furnishings that adorn her initial office.

Shaula is a sinister individual, having immense hatred against those aligned with Shibusen. She holds no remorse in manipulating others with mind control to her own means and even seems to enjoy doing so. Rarely, has she been seen losing her composure much like her infamous older sisters. She's not above taking advantage of others much like her sisters. She seems to have no regard for taking any sort of human life and takes joy in taking it. She finds the concept of friendship and compassion meaningless, looking at it as humans trying to fill a void in their hearts. She even finds the concept of a Soul Resonance foolish and hypocrisy from Shibusen.

She's somewhat flirtatious, as seen when she lifted Meme's skirt when possessing her as she spoke to Sid Barrett. She also has some sort of sense of humor, telling Akane with Meme's body to show her "some of his killer moves". She even referred to Sid as "Sid-sensei", which would be unusual for a witch to refer to a teacher as such when she would also call him by his name. However, unlike any of her older sisters, she is motivated by what seems to be more of a personal reason. Though it is still unclear, she has mention several times that she is "lonely" due to the actions of Shibusen. This may come from the fact that witches are generally hunted by potential death scythes for their souls and live with the constant danger that their lives may end for an individual to become a death scythe. She also mentions when her evil plans seem to work that she'll enjoy "being able to hunt for once".

Appearance[]

Shaula, unlike her older sisters, demonstrates all the qualities of a typical teenager, rather than a mature woman, leading to the claim that she is the youngest of her two older sisters. She has a pale, unblemished complexion that serves to accentuate her fine facial features, which are characterized by unusual iris exhibited by both eyes, a trait apparently shared by all members of her immediate family. Alluding to her thematization scorpion, this distinctive feature takes the form of two scorpion stings, which together form a complete circle in the center of each eye (which also looks like the yin yang for some viewers). Continuing this reason, her floral pattern and scarf on her head are covered with hair arranged in a long loose braid that ends in a stinger of a scorpion, through the use of a properly connected arc, an aspect that is also accompanied by an ornamental hanging earring in her right ear.

Befitting her age, the typical dress of Shaula's equipment consists of a long-sleeved sailor suit that has been adopted by many Japanese schools as their standard uniform. However, unlike most variations, it shows the symbol of her sign "Scorpio " as a small badge, located on the visible portion of her vest under the sailor collar. This necklace has two stripes going through it, one that goes along its entirety and another part that ends in front.
