Garam Zahard

Garam Zahard (가람 자하드, Gahrahm Jahad, "Garam Zahard"), also referred to as Hermit in the North City of the 43rd Floor or The Princess of the Deep Colored Sea, is a Princess of Zahard and the owner of the Blue August and Indigo July.

History
She was chosen to become a Princess long ago and eventually bestowed with the Blue August in recognition of her abilities. Another girl from her family was also chosen and given a 13 Month Series: Yuram Zahard. They were from the same birth Family, and the fact that they share generation names (same character in their given name, its placement switches depending on the odd or even generation) means they come from the same generation: 유람 (Yuram) and 가람 (Garam). Garam is Yuram's younger twin sister. Reflecting back on those days she says things were chaotic among Princesses and it had turned into a fierce competition that caused the murder of many of her sisters.

At some point, Garam briefly fought Adori Zahard, who hadn't even been a Ranker for more than 100 years, and was overwhelm by the Princess.

When it seemed like things would never change, Enne Zahard became a Princess and was given the Colorless December. Garam admired her strength and believed she would be the one to put an end to the strife among them. However, to Garam's worry Enne started to change and attacked everyone from the Zahard Family who crossed her path. People started to say she had gone mad and all possibility of her ending the feud among princesses was lost. Eventually, Garam Zahard killed Yuram Zahard and seized the Indigo July. Rumours started to spread that Enne Zahard was connected to this incident. Some days later, both Garam Zahard and Enne Zahard disappeared. They became well known High Rankers after this incident. Garam Zahard was given the sobriquet of Mako Shark and Enne Zahard was given the sobriquet of Great White Shark.

The fights between Princesses didn't cause problems (even when they killed each other), but their disappearance, both in the possession of two of the 13 Month Series, was a serious matter, so Zahard issued orders to catch them both quickly.

Garam Zahard was sane and was able to hide herself. But Enne Zahard was caught and imprisoned in a mysterious labyrinth. Hearing this and refusing to believe she had gone mad, Garam risked her life to break in the prison and meet her. There she was told about Zahard's secrets. She learned just how pointless the fights to collect the 13 Month Series were, since Zahard had no intention of getting married and had in fact manipulated the first Princesses into killing each other. Although Garam didn't believe Enne at first, she was told to look for the Pocket of Arlen Grace that Enne had hidden away. With it she was able to confirm what she had been told.

She hid herself again on the 43rd Floor (as the Floor was without a Guardian). There she looked after Anak Zahard for a while. She also aided Grand De Jah covertly in stopping Hell Joe from taking over North City. She was later shown to still be living there.

Appearance and Personality
Like any other Princess of Zahard, she is a very attractive woman. Her hair is coloured in a gradient of light grey to blue with some golden bangs. Her eyes are also blue. She uses a purple nail varnish. She wears a light grey coat over a deep blue skirt or dress. She uses black tights and blue shoes.

She is shown to have hated what the Princesses of Zahard had become by the time she joined and thought that Enne was to be their salvation. Obviously, she was disappointed when she went insane and was locked away. Still, she didn't believe the official version and sought her out to find out what happened. Because of this she became very knowledgeable about what the Zahard Empire keeps in utmost secrecy.

The Floor of Death
Through the Eye Monster she learned of Baam's arrival at the Floor of Death and decided to speak to him. She arrived in Manyleg and pointed out that Baam was rather cute and didn't resemble Urek Mazino. Garam took Baam with her to talk to him in private, where she told him he could ask her about anything he wanted to know. She introduced herself as a traitor to the Zahard Family and disclosed information regarding both her and Baam's heritage and past. Still, she didn't tell him everything she knew. Having told Baam everything she wished to, Garam then disclosed information on the whereabouts of another shard of the Thorn that was inside the 'Spirit Room' and the person's task he'd have to complete to get it. Asking whether he'd take the challenge, Baam confidently assured he would before leaving.

Later, a shocked Garam was informed that Yuri Zahard had ignited two of the 13 Month Series simultaneously.

Powers and Abilities
Her ability as a Princess of Zahard was recognised with the bestowing of the Blue August; moreover, after her killing of Yuram Zahard she obtained the Indigo July. Upon her disappearance she became a High Ranker and was able to hide herself for many years from the Zahard Family.

David Hockney deemed her the most powerful person he'd ever met.
