Biography
Medusa Gorgon (Japanese: メデューサ・ゴーゴン, Hepburn: Medyūsa Gōgon) was a Witch and the middle sibling of the Gorgon Sisters who were born at least 800 years ago. She was somewhat involved in the activities and schemes of her older sister Arachne Gorgon. Medusa was aware that Arachne had used the Book of Eibon to create magical weapons leading to her gaining the title of 'Mother of Demon Weapons'. Around 800 years ago, Arachne ended up attracting the attention of Death where she attempted to convince her sister to aid her in the battle against the Death God. However, when the time came for her aid, Medusa did not join her sister in battle and instead betrayed her leading to Arachne nearly being killed by Death but she survived by scattering her spiders around the world. In the aftermath, Medusa hid in the shadows where she conducted experiments on the Black Blood and the demon weapon Ragnarok. Part of this involved conceiving a child she named Crona where she replaced all his blood with the Black Blood and had Ragnarok implanted in her child's body.
In her final moments, she struck and bit Stein who destroyed her body with Medusa surviving in the form of a single snake.
Overview
Personality and attributes
She also came to be known as the Witch Medusa (魔女メデューサ, Majo Medyūsa). At one point, she assumed the identity of Rachel Boyd (レイチェル・ボイド, Reicheru Boido) after she took over the young girls body.
It was said that she was a person full of lies and that in reality she cared little for anyone but herself.
Being a scientist, she viewed others from the point of view of a researcher and that other people were the subjects of her experiments.
As noted by Stein, Medusa had an inability to truly understand the concept of love.
Though she had a son Crona, she demonstrated no parental attachment to her offspring and had even bred him to be a subject of her experiments. When he could not progress further, she had no issue with abandoning him or having him killed. Medusa was perfectly capable of using Crona's emotional states to her advantage and draw upon maternal instincts to get him to obey her commands.
Powers and abilities
Medusa was one of the race of Witches (魔女, Majo; also "Witchkind") that were manipulators of magic with a natural destructive instinct. It was noted that she possessed an enormous soul and Eruka Frog claimed that no other witch was more powerful than Medusa. As a witch, Medusa was capable of performing various kinds of magics (魔法, Mahō).
Her abilities were embodied by her use of Light Serpents (ライトサーペント, Raito Sāpento) that were a Magic Lifeform which took the form of tattoos on Medusa's arms. She had thousands of such snakes within her that were extensions of herself. Through contact, she could send any number of them into the body of a person without them being aware of it. Medusa then could trigger them allowing her to kill the person with the snakes in them. Implanting of the snakes could be done through her hands or with a kiss. She was able to survive the destruction of her body so long as her soul was not consumed and that she was able to place her essence into a single snake. Within this form, the snake was able to escape any threat where she could use it to take possession of a new body. Upon her rebirth, she remained trapped in a weakened state but was able to continue living so long as she retained possession of the host body.
