Black Rose



The Black Rose (Black Rose Witch in Japan) is alias of Akiza Izinski in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's so she can hurt people while dueling without feeling guilt or sadness.

Design
Under the alias of the "Black Rose", she splits her two large bangs into about six smaller ones. Akiza also makes use of a white masquerade, phantom-like mask with red accents around her eyes and a long, tattered black cloak to hide her true identity while Dueling as the "Black Rose".

History
The Black Rose was apparently created sometime during Akiza's first stay at Duel Academy where she would duel underground duelists and after a while the Black Rose became widely feared due to the incidents that happened to the other duelist and eventually a rumor started that no man who has faced her ever dueled again. She was first seen at a street duel which Yusei witnessed her Black Rose Dragon come to life and hurt one of the duelists. When she appeared his birthmark started to burn and when he approached her she saw his mark, cursed it and vanished. Akiza is then invited to the Fortune Cup to duel Gill Randsborg. During that duel her psychic powers and Black Rose identity were revealed when she summoned Black Rose Dragon which was the signature card of the Black Rose. After that duel Sayer took her mask from her saying that she doesn't need it anymore. During her duel with Yusei she once again she can no longer stand the guilt of her power and puts her mask back on and acted like the Black Rose midway through the duel. Throughout the rest of the Duel, every time she took damage her mask started to crack, and when Yusei delivered the finishing blow, her mask was shattered. It is infered that she no longer uses the Black Rose persona anymore since Akiza now has a lot more understanding and control of her emotions and psychic powers.
