Zaria Offenbaum (ゼリア・アッヘェンバウム, Zeria Ahhe~enbaumu?) is the previous nineteenth of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors before Vlov Arkhangel in the Tsukihime Remake series.
Profile[]
Background[]
Zaria found the wandering Vlov Arkhangel when he reached the frozen ocean and adopted him. He served Zaria like she was his liege and was gifted with warmth in return. But the cold pain in his soul couldn't heal, leading to him abandoning his creed as a knight and rebelling against Zaria, leading his home as the next Dead Apostle Ancestor.[2][4] Vlov was convinced to kill Zaria and lied to about how the blood of a True Ancestor would save his life by Roa, resulting in Vlov developing a deep hatred for the Infinite Reincarnator and a desire for revenge against him.[2][5]
Vlov was said to have received his ten wives from Zaria.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Little is actually known about Zaria's personality, but it appears she is rather kind as she found and adopted the wandering Vlov Arkhangel, with him serving Zaria like she was his liege and was gifted with warmth in return, referring to her as his "only sunshine".[2]
Role[]
Tsukihime[]
Abilities[]
The Principle of Zaria's Idea Blood is Freezing (寒さ?). Her Principle gives her abilities over cold, such as creating weapons of ice and dropping the temperature.[1][2][3] As her Principle deprives things of heat, using it inefficiently causes some of the energy not gathered by her to go free as "vaporisation heat"; the heat of land deprived, causing atomic activity to switch from quickness (早き, hayaki?) to sluggishness ({遅き, osoki?), with the new ultra-low temperatures repelling electrons, depriving them of a place to go, and causing them to react.[1]

[] Tsukihime Material I - GLOSSARY: The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, p.100 The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors
The 27 individuals who are the apex of Dead Apostles. It is a title that represents their way of being. Though exceptions like the "League of the Age of Gods" of the five old-timers do exist, each is said to be fundamentally individualistic, while not all of them are enemies of man.
In their three thousand year long history some seats have emptied, and apart from those six that are Offenbaum's - Vlov's parent's - "idea" as well as the ideas of 「ripening」,「castle, therefore kingdom」,「sword」, and then the「melting」and「four limbs」 that are sealed by the Church, the remaining ones whose existence has been verified number twenty-one.
Though it takes the Holy Church a hundred years from preparation to execution in order to seal a single ancestor, they are thought to have succeeded only twice. Considering this, it's easy to see how irregular Tohno Shiki's defeat of Vlov was.死徒二十七祖
死徒の頂点となる二十七の個体。その在り方を示す呼称。古参の五氏による神代同盟。など一部に例外はあるが、それぞれは基本敵対関係にあるとされ、また、その全てが人間の敵という訳ではない。
三千年の歴史の中で空席が生まれており、ヴローヴの親であったアッフェンバウムの原理、「実り」の原理、「城、即ち王国」の原理、「劍」の原理、それと教会に封印された「ける」原理、四肢」の原理の六匹を欠いて、現在様認されている残りは二十一組。
聖宗教会ではひとりの祖を封印するため、百年単位で借しては実行するが、成功例は二回のみとされる。そうした事例を踏まえて見れば、遠野志夫によるヴローヴ討伐がどれほどのイレギュラーであったかがよくわかる。 - ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- - Day 4: "Fire and Blood I"

[] Tsukihime Material I - GLOSSARY: Hemonomic Principle, p.100 Hemonomic Principle
Idea Blood. The quality of the blood that makes the Ancestors what they are, and a foundational commandment etched on their soul.
The Dead Apostles who inherited this blood would always rise up to become Ancestors no matter their rank; Arcueid compared it to a "crown".
On the other hand, a millennium-class foundation is needed for the Hemonomic Principle to function, and even if a Dead Apostle with hundreds of years of activity were to inherit it they would be crushed by that curse. Properly speaking it was not something that Vlov could withstand, but thanks to a technique given to him by a certain Dead Apostle as well as his desire for revenge against that person he managed to retain his sanity until the end.原理血戒
イデアブラッド。祖を祖たらしめている血液の質であり、魂に刻まれた大本の戒め。その血を巡らせるだけで惑星の物理法則を塗り替える特異点。
この血を継承した死徒は、どんな階梯であろうと祖に成り上がる事となり、アルクェイドはこれを『王冠』と例えていた。
反面、原理血戒を動かすには千年クラスの土台が必要となり、数百年活動した程度の死徒が継承してもその呪いで潰されてしまう。本来であればヴローヴに耐えられる物ではなかったが、ある死徒から施された術式とその相手に対する復讐心により、彼の正気は最後まで残される事となった。
