The Seven Stakes of Purgatory

The Seven Sisters of Purgatory (煉獄の七姉妹 Rengoku no nanashimai), are weapons used by Beatrice. They can bounce off walls and objects to attack from any direction and it is impossible to escape them unless the victim has strong magical resistance. They can transform into human form where they use blades of light to attack their enemies.

Appearance
The stakes, in human form, all don the same outfit, a red uniform with an elaborate bow behind their torso, with a black unitard underneath.


 * Lucifer(Pride)
 * Leviathan (Envy)
 * Satan (Wrath)
 * Belphegor (Sloth)
 * Mammon (Greed)
 * Beelzebub (Gluttony)
 * Asmodeus (Lust)

Personality
Even though being grouped together, the stakes will act independently of one another, and sometimes don't acknowledge each other, even in the heat of battle. However, in the end, the stakes will always be willing to work together to bring down a common foe, or fail to skewer something.

Abilities
All of the sisters have the same powers. They use swords of light in battles and often turn into elaborate stakes to pierce through their opposition.

Trivia

 * The lower half of the Stakes of Purgatory's attire is extremely similar to the Angel Mort restaurant uniform from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.


 * The Stakes of Purgatory's relative ages directly correspond to the order of the terraces in Purgatorio as Dante and Virgil ascend towards the meeting with Beatrice - pride first, lust last.
