Pandora (パンドラ) is a recurring antagonist in the Mega Man ZX series. She and her brother Prometheus are the servants of Master Albert, perpetuating the Game of Destiny by manipulating Mega Men into awakening Model W. She exhibits a disturbingly quiet demeanor and uses ice and thunder elements in battle, earning her the nickname of "The Witch" ("魔女").
Appearance[]
Like her older brother, Pandora fits the motif of her nickname of Witch. She wears an oblong helmet with a jewel in the center; however, what appears to be an egg-shaped helmet actually separates into two pieces, as first seen when Pandora takes the passwords from Model X and Model Z. Her white, blue and black scheme strongly contrasts that of her brother as well. Like Prometheus, her armor color changes when she uses an elemental attack; however, she has two color changes instead of one: a yellow and blue scheme for Thunder attacks and a light blue one for Ice attacks. She will attack with both elements if white-colored.
Personality[]
Even less is known about Pandora than her brother, Prometheus. She lets Prometheus handle communication and rarely speaks. During the rare occasions when she uses her voice, she speaks slowly and softly with little to no emotion. Like her brother, Prometheus, she is completely devoted to Model W (though, ironically, in Ashe/Grey's battle against her and her brother, they were also planning on destroying Model W, as well as all Master Albert had created). Being "the voice of Model W", she seems to have inherited Dr. Weil's disdain and nihilism. Pandora also has a tragic side, believing that neither her or Prometheus can change their own inescapable destiny (something that Grey, her "little brother", isn't bound to), and just wants their suffering to end with "the destiny of destruction".
Pandora shows interest in Grey, as she is a little more talkative towards him than Ashe. In the Scrapyard, Pandora asks Grey if he hears "the cries of the world", and Grey agrees, accusing Pandora of being the one responsible, which she rebuts that it's his and Albert's fault. She leaves after the foreboding hint that Grey will fall in despair when he learns the truth. During the "Prometheus & Pandora's Gossip Hell" character popularity segment on the Rockman ZX Advent Blog, Pandora also finds Grey cute and considers brainwashing him into her pet.
