Dusa Is a murderous Spiritomb who looks out only for its own interests. When it was alive it brutally killed thousands of pokemon to absorb their souls, in a desire to surpass Arceus and become the new god. In death, it manipulates the piece of Zero two's soul that it still has to escape back into the land of the living for short times to escape punishment or play petty verbal pranks on it's enemies. It is the main Antagonist of Battle for the Bridge, and one of the main protagonists in the literature "Hidden in the Night".

Background
Dusa grew up mostly on her own, given new life after being bound to a keystone. She took a considerable amount of joy in surprising passers by, And occasionally looting crumpets from humans. Eventually she met up with Shadess and Berry juice, and the three became inseperable. Dusa was concidered the "bad girl" of the group.

While they often avoided towns, when they passed a small town near Stark mountian, Shadess couldn't help but visit. Due to the multitude of superstitions of the town, they were attacked, the Shiny Jolteon Foresight leading them to safety. They quickly uncovered a cult who were spreading the bad name and supersition of Ghost and dark types, and saught to elimiate them from the area. Dusa ended up in the fight against them, however she got kidnapped by one of them, who then examined the curse binding her. The two of them ended up talking, and the curse researcher happened to drop the idea that a Keystone can hold more than 108 spirits, and that a spiritomb's binding curse might be able to be expanded. At first the idea to Dusa became apaulling, but over time the idea grew on her, and the researcher became her first captured soul. Immediately she became addicted, capturing the souls of all she fought at the cult. When it was finally over, some might have said that the real Dusa died on that battlefield.

Dusa noticed that its strength kept growing and growing with every soul, and then went to convince the heatran in stark mountian to cause the volcano to errupt, in exchange for gaining more respect from it's legendary piers. That night, Dusa brought Shadess and Berry juice to the Volcano and kept them there with mean look, cursing them, and planning to let them die to the lava. Shadess however knocked Dusa into the oncoming lava stream, believing to have killed it, although Berry juice didn't survive the lavaflow, Dusa went into a deep sleep inside its keystone, residing underground for a thousand years, becoming a myth, a tale known by few.

It was eventually woken up by Team Crimson, who were trying to detain the spiritomb if it was in fact real. Dusa managed to escape them however, falling into the lava tunnels below. it wandered for days in the darkness, until it found Kneph living in the depths. Dusa was about to attempt to kill Kneph when it collapced from exhaustion and starvation. Kneph nursed Dusa back to health, extatic to have found the source of his favorite Sinnoh myth to be true, He happily became Dusa's first minion.

The two stratigized, and Dusa hypnotized a traveling Elgyem, named Theta, to help. They captured GTM and held him prisoner to test how strong legendaries were, and some of the boundries of the curse. However, not only did GTM get rescued, but Theta broke free of the hypnosis, leaving an enraged Dusa to persue.

When it traveled to Unova and didn't immediatly suceed at killing Theta, it began to slaughter more pokemon to gain strength, eventually killing one of Mattie's clients, who then mistook Dusa FOR said client. at least.. long enough to get hired. It then got Fallon, Bellflower and Tsunami (who later died) to join as well, and even Ghost's daughter, Copper, and the malfuctioning spirit Metagross, Zero two. However, when Mattie fled with Argon, and Copper threatened to leave as well, It hypnotized Cobalion and Little shadow, and launched an attack on Village bridge, nearly destroying it, and even for a time hypnotizing GTM to fight for it as well. Keldeo managed to finish it off, but not before the bridge suffered the losses of the lives of both Ghost and Theta.



Dusa is now being punished for her crimes in Giratina's realm, plotting one day to get her chance to destroy once more.

Past
While Dusa was still out mostly for Herself, She did care about her two buddies, Shadess and Berry juice, and for a time, Foresight. She was strongly determined, and saught out a place where she would be respected as a Ghost. Fighting for the rights of Ghosts and Dark types seemed like a good idea, merely because she would benifit quite a lot herself. She has a very current sense of humor, and tries to put on a very "lady-like" act to throw potential attackers off-guard.

Present
Dusa became extremely vile after power became in reach, even its closest companions were meaningless compared to what it could do. Self absorbed, Short tempered and vain, Dusa will stop at nothing to get what it wants, even in death it continues to looks for ways to overthrow Giratina, and then Arceus.

While also stubborn, it gets rather flustered if caught off guard, especially by someone not being scared of it or not wanting to serve it. However, if it then overcomes its flustered behavior, watch out! Words and attacks will fly.

After death, she is much more likely to be defensive rather than attack, as she cannot interact with objects.
