Character Biography

Villetta Nu is a dark skinned elite Knightmare Frame pilot and subordinate of Jeremiah Gottwald, though she is more collected than Jeremiah in battle. She is not of noble blood, but supports Jeremiah and the Purist faction as she believes she can earn a title of nobility through them.

Shortly after gaining the power of Geass, Lelouch uses it to make Villetta relinquish her Knightmare, leaving her confused as to what happened. Though she dismisses it at first, she begins to suspect Lelouch after Jeremiah experiences similar memory loss after odd behavior. When Jeremiah is supposedly killed during the Battle of Narita, Villetta steps up her attempts to find the connection between Lelouch and Zero with the help of Shirley Fenette. After discovering that Lelouch is Zero, Shirley shoots Villetta to protect Lelouch, causing amnesia. She is found by Kaname Ohgi, with whom she lives with for a time. He gives her the name Chigusa for lack of her real name. The two fall in love, but after unexpectedly regaining her memory at the end of the season, Villetta is disgusted at the thought that she ever loved an Eleven. She confronts him during the Black Rebellion and reveals her true identity, then shoots him in the stomach.

In the second season, her knowledge of Zero's identity and of his Geass has earned a title of nobility. She is employed by Britannian Intelligence to observe Lelouch for contact with C.C. at Ashford Academy, using the cover identity of a gym teacher. Villetta still seems to have feelings for Ohgi, breathing a sigh of relief when he is saved from his execution before quickly regaining her normal composure. After discovering their previous relationship, Lelouch uses the knowledge to blackmail her into hiding the fact he has recovered his memories. When Lelouch leaves to attack the Geass Directorate, Villetta goes to the Chinese Federation to confront Ohgi, intending to kill him to eliminate her links to the Elevens. She hesitates when Ohgi admits his love for her. She is captured after an altercation with Sayoko, but is eventually released and convinces Ohgi of Zero's treachery. She remains with the Black Knights following this. It is revealed that she is pregnant with Ohgi's child and she remains on Horai Island when the Black Knights depart to battle Lelouch. At the end of the series, she is married to Kaname Ohgi.

She is not present in the manga adaptation with most of her role taken over by other characters.
