Appearance[]
Magical Girl[]

Grim Heart
As a Magical Girl, Grim Heart has short, crimson-red hair that curls inwards and is very curly. She has no hair bangs and her hair is decorated with red hearts on the left side of her bangs. Her eyes, which have a heart design, are red. She also has red, heart-shaped eyelashes. Her makeup consists of red eye shadow and red lipstick. She also has crimson-red eyebrows. Her hair fades to black at the tips.
The red hearts have a black outline with several other heart decorations. The heart on the top right has a black star in the middle. She wears a light pink crown with heart designs and a light pink flamingo decoration in the center. She wears a pretty black and white dress with a heart-like hole in the middle which the center appears to be black. The dress's sleeves appear to have pointed holes with thick white stripes. Her sleeves are black.
In the middle of her dress, it appears to have some "U" shape with heart-like holes in a pattern. In the very middle, it has a red cross pattern. The lower part of her dress is black and has bumpy edges with a red layer underneath. It has a red triangle-like thing on the lower middle part and white dots above the bumps. Around her waist, she wears red roses on both sides. She wears arm-length red gloves which are supposed to have heart points at the top with pointed ends which are black at the ends.
She also wears a giant red heart accessory around her neck with black edges which is connected by a golden heart pin. Red hearts with black edges are pointed at both sides with black ribbons connected to the ribbons. She appears to wear red roses at the bottom with dark grey leaves. Black spades with black lines also protrude from her back connected with some black lines at the bottom.
She dons dark grey stockings with a black heart appearing on her right thigh and crimson red and black heels. Grim Heart is shown to hold a four-petaled peach flower with dark red accents and with orange leaves.
Personality[]
Grim Heart is quite self-centered and considers everyone around her to be rude except Shufflin. Those who don't respect her are considered "barbaric". She especially likes getting praised.
She abuses her subordinate Shufflin regularly, especially the heart Shufflins, since they tended to be the most emotional and therefore submissive. Grim Heart is quite lazy and forces Shufflin to do all the work for her, including devising plans, possibly because her own is no good.
Grim Heart shows no remorse for her captives and will order the Joker Shufflin to decapitate a Magical Girl when the Shufflin army runs low without a second thought. She doesn't care for her victims, seen by the way that she was disgusted with Princess Tempest for crying and was annoyed with Umbrain for screaming. She is also clearly disliked in the Magical Kingdom, when she was tasked with making a video for Osk Faction, everyone hated it and thought badly of the faction.
Magic[]
Ignores those without proper manners.
As long as the opponents are not "permitted", she does not accept any interference from them. Combat, magic, conversation, mind reading, and any other communication can only be done from Grim Heart, and only she can turn it off when she wants to, possibly meaning that when someone tries to talk under Grim Heart's magic, she will hear gibberish from them.
Whether a person is considered rude or not is up to Grim Heart's discretion, though usually, all people besides her and Shufflin are rude people. Anyone who talks to her without her permission could only hear "off with your head". The magic even works in a person's own world, such as Keek's Cyber World.
Special item(s)[]
- 4-Dimensional Bag: A magical item. It can attract good luck to its owner, but the actual effect is not certain.
Relationships[]
Shufflin[]
Shufflin and Grim Heart are partners. Grim Heart deeply relies on Shufflin and abuses her regularly.
Lady Proud[]
After gaining control of the facility, Grim Heart releases Homunculi to attack the other magical girls. These homunculi would ultimately be the cause of Lady Proud's death.

Kafuria[]

Filru[]

Snow White[]
Snow White would disguise herself as Filru, meeting with Grim Heart for a negotiation. Unbeknownst to Grim Heart, Snow White would then read her mind and figure out the password to escape the facility.
Pure Elements[]
Grim Heart arrives to the facility in order to capture all four of the Pure Elements. While she manages to capture both Princess Tempest and Princess Quake, she ends up having Quake killed to refill the Shufflin deck and has Tempest killed in anger. Before Grim Heart could capture Princess Inferno, she had been fatally wounded by Joker Shufflin.
Attempting to negotiate with the remaining magical girls for Princess Deluge, Grim Heart is tricked into meeting with Snow White, leading to the password being discovered. By the time Grim Heart realizes, they are already making their escape. Despite her attempts to send Shufflin to kill them and capture Deluge, she ultimately fails to capture her.
