History[]
Background[]
Atropos was created by Glion to be his daughter, modeled after Rinne Kudo as a young child.
Encountering Gotchard[]
Acting for Glion, Atropos leads the Dark Sisters in tacking down what is later revealed to a homunculus clone of Fuga Kudo that gives the Gotchard Driver to Houtaro Ichinose while scattering the Chemies to keep them from falling into Glion's hands.
Dark Kings Advent[]
Atropos aids in Glion's plans while targeting Rinne, vowing to avenge her creator when the ritual failed and he was dragged by the Dark Kings. But upon learning that Glion was still alive after being devoured by the Dark King Germain, Atropos tricks Rinne and the other Kamen Riders into weakening Germain enough for her to enable Glion to consume the Dark King. Despite manipulating the Kamen Riders into doing her dirty work, she honored her promise to Rinne of never harming anyone else again.
Death[]
She and Rinne were abducted by Gaelijah, who wanted the two to kill each other. But upon learning that Glion never saw her as anything else but a tool when he manipulated Fuga for his own gain, Atropos sacrificed herself to shield Rinne from a fatal blow by Gaelijah, apologizing for all the sins she did. Atropos is reduced to her crystal core, which responds to Rinne's feelings of saddened rage by transmuting her gold origami into the Promise Alchemist Ring. When Rinne becomes Twilight Majade for the first time, she finds Atropos's soul residing within her as they work together to defeat Gaelijah.

Personality[]
Malicious and sinister, Atropos is the first daughter of the Three Dark Sisters who misuses alchemy while working behind the scenes. She may look and act like a little girl, but she manipulates powerful alchemy. [1] And she will not hesitate to use it to control, destroy, and exploit people in experiments, seeing it as something she describes as “fun”.
For most of the time, Atropos speaks in a calm, collected, and quiet manner in any given situation but can speak playfully at times. But she was shown to be very cold against people she finds irritating like with Shiori when she made her disappear, despite the latter personally helping her in stealing numerous amounts of Blank Ride Chemy Cards and choosing the first user of Dread, as well as Renge when she angrily yelled and attacked her.
Atropos is also highly manipulative in nature, as she's capable of fully utilizing her child-like form to sway other people in order to deter Rinne. She also seems to have an odd obsession towards her and her father Fuga, claiming to be an old friend of his and that Fuga is the one who wanted to claim the power of the Door of Darkness for his own. However, when Rinne confronted Atropos about desiring bonds such as friendship and family, Atropos become enraged and slightly disoriented while pouting in a childish manner.
She sees Chemies as tools, but unlike Supana or Licht, she sees them in their “original purpose” of being affected by human malice and becoming Malgams to destroy everything and being sacrificed as materials for the Door of Darkness.
Among the three sisters, she is the most loyal to Glion as she remains collected to him and follows any plan and order he makes, even if they come at the cost of harming her sisters like he possessed Lachesis to become the Orochi Malgam against civilians, or abandoning them when she made the possibility of replacing them with Supana when he became the Wheel Malgam. Furthermore when Lachesis was caught red-handed admitting to Minato that she wanted to defect, Atropos personally transformed into Dread herself to deal with Lachesis' treachery. Ultimately, Atropos desires to be the ideal daughter to Glion and is later heart-broken upon learning that he never saw her as anything else but a disposable tool.
