Boreas (Japanese: イダテン, Idaten) is a Rare Blade in 异度神剑 2. He can grant tremendous power to his Drivers, Rex, Nia, Zeke or Mòrag, and their allies. Boreas uses the wind element, wields a Bitball, and acts as a Healer in battle. Boreas is a plump white, purple and charcoal creature, looking both cute and strange. He has a mouth on his stomach, and appears to be able to grow larger arms and detach his head at will. His speech mannerisms and "Nopon Wisdom" field skill suggests he is based on the 诺彭.

Boreas was designed by the artist I-IV (アイフォー, Aifō, Ai Four, also known as Longman and Longman I-IV), a 设计师 for the Aldnoah.Zero anime series.

Personality

Boreas is childlike in mannerism and loves to eat, to the point where he will 舔击 party members to see if they taste good. He is easily upset if anything prevents him from eating and has the unique ability to travel as fast as the wind, which he uses sometimes accidentally if he loses his temper.

Appearance

Boreas is huge and spherical, with a small, long-eared, nopon-like "head" on top of his "body". He has stubby 下身 and arms similar to 诺彭 wings, and the main bulk of his body can swing open to reveal a huge toothed mouth which he can stuff food into at great speed. He is mostly grey, with a paler stomach and head and blue 以太 lines running across him. His core crystal is blue and shaped like a bell.

牵绊 and Blade Quest

Boreas during his Blade Quest

Boreas' 牵绊, "Boreas the Gourmand", takes place outside Coedwig Inn between Boreas, his Driver, and 虎. In it 虎 awakens to find Boreas eating, and decrees that they should go and have breakfast at a place recommended by the innkeeper. Boreas is reluctant and evasive, insisting he doesn't want to eat there, and eventually tells his companions that he has already eaten everything on their menu before the 其它 woke up.

Boreas' Blade Quest, Hero of the 诺彭, can be activated after unlocking Boreas' level 5 Key 牵绊 reward by filling his snack stashes with food. Upon returning to the Goldmouth Warehouse after a mushroom eating competition with 虎, Boreas discovers to his horror that his entire stash has been stolen by Yumyum the Burglar. Upon confronting Yumyum, Boreas is offered a thieving challenge to win back the hearts of 诺彭 enamored with Boreas' ability to consume food. In his rage at his food being stolen Boreas rushes out and returns with Gianluca's statue, with the party having no idea where the statue came from. After returning the statue, Yumyum offers three objectives: Boreas must steal a Shimmering Feather, Niall's Underwear and the Bloomshroom, all of which he does with ease. Yumyum admits defeat and Boreas happily eats the Bloomshroom as a final prize as adoring 诺彭 look on.
