Personality
History
Created before work began on the Black Wings, Manismare was once called a "beautiful work of art" by her creator. From her place on a table in his studio, she watched as Hikari worked on his greatest masterpiece and longed to see what it would become. Some time after Niwa interfered with the ritual to infuse life inside the Black Wings, Hikari used Manismare's labyrinth to lock Dark away. However, she retained her curiosity towards him and set the rogue artwork free.
Enraged at her betrayal, Hikari smashes her artwork against the ground. His apprentice collects her pieces and attempts to create an artwork with her, however the creation is deemed a failure and named Defective. She is trapped inside Defective, who feeds off of her residual magic and life.
When Dark is trapped inside Defective's locket by said artwork, she calls out his name from somewhere within. As he wanders the labyrinth, he recognizes her immediately despite her veiled appearance. They haven't seen each other since she freed him from her prison.
She removes her veil and reveals that she has been broken beyond repair. Dark hugs her and attempts to kiss her in order to transfer some of his own magic into her, however she places a hand on his lips and refuses. When he calls her a "beautiful work of art" she smiles warmly, remembering when her creator said that about her. As she shatters further, Dark and Satoshi watch solemnly.
Manismare lays out Dark's situation for him: he is an artwork and Daisuke Niwa is a human. The boy will leave him behind eventually.
When Satoshi Hiwatari breaks Defective, he removes all unwanted parts inside and repairs his unnatural connection to Manismare. According to him, her existence had become corrupted and decayed to the point that their roles switched and she was a parasite upon Defective. Dark happily speaks up to where her spirit lingers, stating that the Hikari has given her a new life. She smiles back.
Trivia
Manisumea マニスメア likely has an English name due to the use of katakana and the prevalence of such artwork names in the series. However, no official translation or romanization has been provided. "My Nightmare" is one interpretation. English fans sometimes refer to her as Manisumea and Manismare.
