OtapediaTyphon - Re:Zero

Name: Typhon
Age: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Gender: Female
Birthday: Unknown
Voice Actors: Not yet revealed

Typhon is the Witch of Pride. She is a young and petite looking girl with dark green hair in a bob cut. She has red eyes and wears a hairband adorned with blue flowers in her hair. A particularly large blue flower hairpin sits above her left ear. She is also noted to have tan skin and red cheeks. Typhon wears a sleeveless dress that goes to almost her ankles. It is primarily white with blue accents and appears to be fairly sheer below the waistline. Typhon is somewhat disarming and projects an air of young innocence though there is a degree of ruthlessness behind it.

History

Not much is revealed about the exact specifics of Typhon's past. Very early on in her life she began learning the concept of good and evil from her father who was an executioner as part of his job. As she was still struggling to reconcile that moral quandary, she one day broke her father's wine cup. Fearing her execution she confessed her deed to him anyway. He forgave her and accepted her apology, but that lead the young and impressionable Typhon to the belief that one's guilt or innocence was decided by the scale within their own heart.
At some point she took in the Witch Factor of Pride. She then spent the remainder of her life asking people if they were sinners and bringing down punishment on those that were guilty. Later on, Typhon would be among the witches killed by Satella the Witch of Envy, though (along with most of the other Witches), Typhon does not bear any ill will to Satella herself and understands the separation between Satella and the Witch of Envy. Echidna is said to have absorbed Typhon's soul and that a small part of the Witch of Pride lived alongside Echidna's soul in the Witch of Greed's Graveyard.
During the events at the Sanctuary in Arc 4, Typhon is the second Witch that Subaru would meet face to face within Echidna's alternate reality domain. She is brought out when Subaru continually rebuffed Echidna's offer to have a chat. Subaru and Typhon would make small talk for a time (with him potentially being disarmed by her innocent looks) before she shakes his hand to determine if he was an evil person. She quickly pronounces him to not be evil, but she also dismembers him and cleanly removes his right arm. As he panics the Witch shatters both of his legs from the knee down before announcing herself as the Witch of Pride. Her handiwork is eventually reversed by Minerva who punches him back to full health.
Towards the end of those events as Echidna transplants her soul into the body of Lewes Meyer, Typhon's soul is still with Echidna. It is later placed (along with the other Witch's souls) into a pyroxene crystal. Echidna has shown that she can still call upon the souls of the Witches of Sin even in her new body (that she calls Omega).
Despite sharing etymological and mythological roots, Typhon does not currently seem to share any special connection to Echidna and seems to be named after the celestial body instead (as many other cast members are as well).

Relationships

Unnamed Father - Typhon's as of yet unnamed father is the source of a lot of young Typhon's notions of good, evil, sin, and punishment. Through the incident with her father's wine cup she learned to look internally for the scale of good and evil and she may have gained her ruthlessness from being around him, equating guilt and punishment with exceution.
Satella - Satella the Witch of Envy is the one who ultimately kills Typhon though it is noted that most of the Witches of Sin bear no ill will towards Satella herself.
Echidna - Echidna the Witch of Greed at some point acquires Typhon's soul which is what allows her to be materialized through Echidna's power. Typhon's soul continues to travel the Kingdom of Lugnica along with Echidna's new body - Omega.
Natsuki Subaru - Typhon disarms (figuratively and literally) Subaru in their first meeting though she pronounces him to be a good person.

Abilities

Authority of Pride - As the Witch of Pride, Typhon is able to command the Authority of Pride though there is little confirmed information about this particular Authority at this time. This is compounded by the fact that the seat of Sin Archbishop of Pride is currently vacant.
