E'Rah

E'Rah (・ラー, e Rā) is a character appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga. She is claimed to be the Goddess of Despair, and is the mysterious figure behind Kyoji Yagumo's involvement in the Numbers War.

Appearance
E'Rah appears as a huge, slender woman, with long dark hair, light colored bangs and a pair of feather-like accessories on each side of her face. She wears a long dark dress with armour like shoulder pads, with a larger, more designed pad on her right shoulder.

Abilities
E'Rah has been shown to be capable of giving other people supernatural abilities, as seen with the abilities possessed by Kyoji Yagumo. She has also been shown to be able to allow "Number" monsters to influence their wielder, regardless of what kind of protection they have.

Etymology
E'Rah's name has the same pronunciation as "error" in Japanese (the lowercase "e" further supports the idea, since "error" is a noun and doesn't being with a capital "e").

History
Six months prior to the events of the manga, E'Rah encountered Kyoji Yagumo before he was about to enter a tournament and gave him the nine "Numbers" she had acquired, giving him several supernatural abilities.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
During the 3 vs. 1 Duel between Yuma Tsukumo, Ryoga Kamishiro, Kaito Tenjo and Kyoji Yagumo, when Kyoji was about to lose, E'Rah appeared and took over him to continue the Duel, confronting her enemies for the first time.

Number Hunting
Prior to the events of the manga, E'Rah came into possession of "Number 70: Deadly Sin" and 8 other blank "Number" cards. All of these were passed onto Kyoji Yagumo six months prior to the Numbers War.
