Amaterasu

The, also referred to as , is the First Pillar, serving as the sacrifice and source of energy that powers Amaterasu.

Appearance
The First Pillar appears as a naked woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, who is regarded as resembling Iris in appearance. She has bright red eyes.

Personality
As shown when she took control of Shinra, this woman showed very manipulative behaviour. She used his resentment towards people branding him as a Devil, his anger at the Demon that destroyed his family and his confused emotions about the Infernal's true identity to direct him. Her palpable hatred of humanity is felt by Shinra and noted by Haumea. While she controlled Shinra, she tried to provoke him into burning and killing everything and everyone in their path.

Abilities
As the First Pillar, she most likely possesses an Ignition Ability and an Adolla Burst. Shinra Kusakabe suspects and later confirms that she is indeed the power source of the Amaterasu that powers the entirety of the Tokyo Empire, further alluding to her immense power. Like the Woman in Black within the Shintai, she is able to appear before other Adolla Burst users through the Adolla Link.

Background
Soon after the Great Cataclysm, the girl was found by Yona. Intending to use her Adolla Burst to make civilisation bloom again, he encased her in a container and delivered her to Raffles Smith's group, leading them to use her as nourishment for the people and generating power for Amaterasu.

When a controlled Karin interrupts Shinra conversation with Sōichirō to kill him, the woman appears once again. She seemingly taking control of the young officer with the Adolla Link, planning on using his anger to murder the other officers. This leads to them fighting Captain Arg, who successfully manages to force the rabid Shinra outside. While the battle continues, she promises Shinra that they will kill anyone who gets in their way. The battle seems to be in the Adolla pair's favour, until Arthur and Ogun intervene.

While Arthur senses her presence, the knight cannot free Shinra from her control. Arthur, Ogun, Arg and Pan all move to engage the possessed Shinra, ultimately Arthur continues the battle alone. She tells Shinra not to worry about being a hero or a devil, offering to give the boy information about his mother. If he is willing to kill his opponents. During the battle, Arthur is able to counter Shinra's confused arguments for becoming a Devil much to the woman's fury. This fury presses her and Shinra rushing in to finish Arthur, who counters with a barrage of strikes before finally telling Shinra to embrace being a hero once again to protect what he loves. The woman once again pushes Shinra to kill the Knight, claiming that being a killer is much simpler than losing those you love, but Shinra manages to break out from her control. Despite being disappointed by Shinra's unwillingness to kill, she enjoyed their meeting. While refusing to tell Shinra about his mother, the spectre says she will now play with the fifth and latest person to awaken the Adolla Burst.
