About

Santa Muerte is a tall skeletal figure with long black hair. She wears a white, silky traditional Mexican dress with a flower veil and belt and wields a makeshift scythe that has a handsaw for a blade, is wrapped in barbed wire, and has a large iron ball hanging from it.

Santa Muerte is shown to be incredibly possessive and in love with Peyote, attacking and killing anyone who hurts him. She is also a silent spirit, not seen speaking once.

Asakura Hao resurrected Peyote and gave Santa Muerte to protect him, and after Peyote realized that Hao might want him to fight in the Flower of Maize, he accepted Santa Muerte as his new Guardian Ghost.

Over Soul and Attacks

O.S. Santa Muerte

• Shaman: Peyote Diaz
• O.S. Type: Spirit Type
• Spirit Ally: Santa Muerte
• Medium used: Peyote's body; Santa Muerte statue

Description: Initially an automatic Over Soul that would forcefully manifest itself whenever Peyote was harmed, Peyote eventually accepted the gift from Hao and chose a statue of the spirit as the medium for the Over Soul. Her main weapon is the brute force she can put behind the swings of her scythe and its attached ball. She can also create barriers with her barbed wire, which are strong enough to defend against missiles and the indirect blasts from Azazel's guns.
