Until a brief talk with Bridget along with remembering Sin's determination to prevent second Crusades; then when she found out that she herself is a Gear and had been used as a disposable tool by the Future Nerville the entire time, she is revealed to be naïve and gullible. Nevertheless, ever since learning her true heritage from her true family, then ultimately upon witnessing Bridget got out of commission after critically injured by Nerville, Unika seeks an atonement to make up her mistakes.

History[]
Background[]
Unika originates from a future where an anti-Gear virus developed by Nerville Hammer that Dizzy had become infected with caused all Gears to go berserk, leading to a 'second Crusade'. She hatched from an egg that Dizzy laid before she died, and never knew her birth parents. Despite adopting her, Nerville never saw Unika as a person, and began to use her Gear cells to modify himself. At some point, Nerville and Unika found Axl Low after he had found himself in their future, and Nerville explained the state of their future to him before taking control of him and using his power to send Unika back in time. At some point after this, Nerville sent her to the present from this future, along with the virus, to meet with his present self and explain the circumstances of their future to him. Unika's knowledge of the future aided Nerville in obtaining immense wealth.
