Background: Honestly, the pasts of most of the Thirteen Kings—the crime syndicate that Aligula belongs to, even if "crime syndicate" is actually a super loose phrase to describe them—are shrouded in mystery. Aligula is no exception; there's not much to go on for her aside from what she's told Leonardo Watch in episode 5.

Which is that once upon a time, she fell in love with a criminal named Deldro Brody; he was a real bad boy, always in trouble, and he loved her, too. Unfortunately, while she loved him... she didn't love his looks half as much. They just weren't doing it for her, you know? Definitely not turning her on at all! And then along came Dog Hummer (or Hammer, depending who you ask): a total hunk! A pretty boy ex-tra-or-di-naire. So what's a poor girl to do when the love of her life and the man of her dreams are two separate people?

She liquefies one of them, hollows out the other, and puts them together in one happy package! (Note: the links are just a dramatization fit for human consumption using ketchup and a lunch container.)

So yes, in episode 5 (where we first really get to see her), it's this man she's after when she picks up Leo (picks up being the key phrase here: he asks if she's holding him hostage to get what she wants, and she refutes him angrily; you get back your things with your own power, because there wouldn't be any point if you accepted help from others). She talks at length at how it's important in love to keep pushing, because those that push the hardest win, and... she gossips with Leo about his love life. Or really,he tells her about it, and she gets mad that he's got such a boring one.

Her plans fall through thanks to Libra, the secret organization Leo belongs to, as well as Deldro & Hummer's combined efforts to stop her. (Note: Deldro definitely adores her and would love to get back together with her! Hummer, not so much, but he's willing to make sacrifices if Deldro really wants to go. ...he gets called "odd" for that.)

Episode 9 has her return; she's hanging out at Coney Island with two of her fellow kings: Femt, the King of Depravity, and the one we'll never actually have a name-name for, the King of Despair. She sasses, she snarks, but the main thing of the episode is at the end, where she reveals she's got a pair of glasses the King of Despair'd needed for his plans. They're special ones that can control the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods (or seem to, going by the last episodes), and she's been working on them for the King of Despair, apparently. Because friends who aren't friends but still hang out together because they're a posse do stuff for each other.

(Besides, she's interested in seeing how his plans work out.)

Her appearance in episode 12 is minor; she's at a Halloween party her fellow kings are throwing, while the King of Despair is out shuffling around and making a mess of Hellsalem's Lot City. She's disgusted by the zombies (she says they're freaking her out), but accepts their existence when Femt reminds her it's Halloween and they're practically a prerequisite; they're a distraction most of all, and since it's the King's show, they deserve some entertainment.

...and that's really pretty much it. She's a minor character among minor characters.

Personality: There are a lot of very unkind words for Aligula: obsessive, crazy, shallow. They're all pretty on point, too.

As her title of "Queen of Monomania" would suggest (with monomania meaning "exaggerated or obsessive enthusiasm for or preoccupation with one thing"), Aligula's very... dedicated, to put it nicely. During the series, her focus is mainly on getting her (ex?) boyfriend/sweetheart/best experiment ever back: the combined body of Deldro Brody & Dog Hummer. She tears the city apart for this, she's... really something else. It's not just about him being the perfect combination of a hot body and a liquefied criminal, oh no, not at all! If asked, actually, she'd say it was for love.

...which is her main, never-ending obsession. No one loves love like Aligula loves love; she's a fan of love stories, to the point where she uses them as small talk and gets more than a little pissed if you tease her with details about one but don't have a proper ending or plan of action for it. Despite her quick temper, she ends up being incredibly supportive about romance and things of that sort! Especially if you're serious about it; she doesn't have any time for shallow, petty stories.

Even though really, her own is pretty much that, because Aligula doesn't do feelings properly. She's very excitable, very much the "overly cheerful, go get what you want" one of her immediate group, but... She fell in love with a guy because he was a bad boy, and she fell in love with another one because he was hot, and then she decided that she didn't want to have to deal with the drama of choosing between them so she just put them together in one little Deldro & Hummer package. Like many of the other Kings, she lives for leisure and pleasure, and she just... doesn't do anything past that. She gets mad, yes, and she can sometimes be sincere when she says your love life's oh-so-sad... but she's incapable of feeling any remorse or thinking about how her actions might actually affect someone.

She's inconsiderate, shallow as hell, and pretty fucking predictable when it comes to how she's going to react about something, is what I'm getting at here.

That doesn't mean she's stupid, though; Aligula's shown to be quite clever! Not everyone can come face-to-face with the powerful and legendary All-Seeing Eyes of the God and be able to either make or get their hands on glasses that can essentially control them—the first one is implied to be what she's done, and given her track record with successfully turning one man into pure blood, hollowing out another, and putting them together while they're awake and aware with stunning results... I'm inclined to agree.

Furthermore, on her name/intro card that comes up in the anime, there's "genius" as one of the kanji—beneath it is "innocent," though. Straightforward and frank and not actually that judgmental (except over your life choices with your love life), Aligula's much like a child: she's objective on things not pertaining to her obsessions, though honestly, that's probably more because she's not half as interested in them. That doesn't mean she isn't going to listen and put in her own two cents though: she's peanut gallery personified when she's in a group situation, and she's the carefree friend you go to to forget your worries when it comes to one-on-one conversation.

She'll also be the friend that literally slaps some sense into you or kicks your ass about something. Aligula doesn't do many negative feelings, sincerely or otherwise, but then there's anger. It makes sense, too: if you can't get angry about something, can you say you truly care about it? (...Ignoring the fact that Aligula's never cared about anyone aside from herself a day in her life; she obviously doesn't care about what either Deldro or Hummer want or feel, after all.) And, like the righteous anger of a god scorned, she gets... rather violent at times, particularly if you're testing her patience or if you make her carry a conversation. It's not nice to make girls do that, after all, especially when it's about something as irrevocably important as love.

Abilities: Aligula doesn't actually have any cool or special abilities—she's your standard mad surgeon, skilled in things involving medical procedures (without anesthesia), and genius, at least solely where her interests are concerned. She's also probably fairly good with gizmos, gadgets, and things of the mechanical sort, having not only done up a monster truck in the shape of a hand to track her sweetheart but also having the implication that she created the glasses meant to help the King of Despair control Leonardo's eyes.

...She is also the best at sleepovers, if she ever attended them, because she would definitely get everyone's crushes out in the open if they had any. Outside of those things though? She's a perfectly ordinary cyclopean girl.
