She has lost all memories about herself since two years ago for exception of her father who told her to never fall in love and always stay at the mansion until the day he returns. Having lived an isolated life and feared as a monster by people, Cardia lacked emotions and knowledge of the world. On the verge of being captured by the English army, she is stolen away by Arséne Lupin.
