Who is C.C.?

Her name is C.C. She has long green hair, golden eyes, and a mark on her forehead symbolizing immortality, making her an immortal girl. While her actual age is unknown, she gave up her human form at the age of 16, gained her current powers, and remains unable to die. Her real name is unknown, but it was only revealed to Lelouch in the anime. She was captured by Clovis for research purposes and met Lelouch, who gave him the power of Geass.

C.C.'s Personality

Voiced by Yukana, she is portrayed as a very mysterious girl, but she also has a laid-back personality. Her favorite food is pizza. Although her lines can be harsh at times, contrary to appearances, she is also often seen joking and teasing Lelouch. She has not had much luck with the contractors she has given Geass to in the past, and they often resent her for giving it to them. Because of this, she tends to keep her distance and act cold, but in reality she may be lonely and have a more affectionate personality than anyone else. She seems to trust Lelouch more than ever before, as he has accepted C.C.

C.C.'s Past

Apparently, C.C. was treated as a slave during her childhood, and was found collapsed on the street when she was saved by a nun at the church. The nun then bestowed upon C.C. the "Geass that allows everyone to love her," which allowed her to become a person who was loved unconditionally by everyone. However, as a result, C.C. lost sight of true love and trusted only the Sister, who was immune to Geass. However, the Sister actually possessed the power of immortality, and her true goal was to force that power onto C.C. She was tricked into inheriting the power of immortality.

What is C.C.'s goal?

C.C.'s fate of immortality was forced upon her by a sister she trusted. Just as the sister suffered, C.C. also suffers from her fate of immortality. Her true wish is to pass on her immortality to someone else and die herself.

Did C.C.'s wish come true?

C.C.'s greatest wish is to die and pass on her immortality. She wanted to develop Lelouch's Geass powers and pass on his immortality to him, but Lelouch refused. Believing that Lelouch would not be able to grant her wish, C.C. tried to have Emperor Charles inherit her destiny of immortality, but Lelouch persuaded her not to do so. Afterwards, there is a scene where she unconsciously seals away the code for immortality and returns to the state of her memories before the manifestation of Geass, but Marianne persuades her to return to her original consciousness. This means that C.C. was unable to overturn her destiny of immortality. Even after Lelouch's death, she continues on her wandering journey.

C.C. Summary

I hope you've gained a better understanding of who C.C. is. The relationship between Geass and Code can be a bit confusing. However, meeting Lelouch allowed C.C. to decide to continue bearing the fate she had previously considered painful. I don't think it was the worst possible outcome for her. It's fair to say that meeting Lelouch changed her. The setting of Code Geass is also quite deep!
