Character Notes:
History:
Only a few things're known about Lambdadelta pre-Umineko. As a Voyager Witch she's been traveling between worlds for quite a long time. While unverified, she claims ancient kings attempted to curry her favor. At a likely early point in her existence as a witch, she became stuck in a logic contradiction, and was forced to spend a eternity in it until she figured out a solution.
One of the things she's been doing is granting wishes to people that interested her. Only two made wishes that she found particularly promising. One wish is implied to have led to the events of Higurashi, and while the wishmaker let her down, that 'game' brought Bernkastel into existence. The other wish, by Beatrice to be acknowledged as a witch, led to the setup that became Umineko. At this point, Lambdadelta summoned her dear friend Bernkastel to join her in this new game.
This led to a series of 'games' that consisted of ritualistic murders on the isolated island Rokkenjima, which repeated in a loop of different iterations due to Battler's refusal to acknowledge those murders as the work of magic, pitting him against the witch's side in a battle of logic. Lurking in the background of the games, Lambdadelta didn't take too overt action at first. Her goal was to entrap Bernkastel in an endless game, and she pressured Beatrice to this end, promising her punishment if she lost.
Then she started stepping in, taking measures to prevent a premature end such as sabotaging Bernkastel's introduction of Ange by ensuring that Ange could only be used to her full powerful effectiveness once, and chaining Beatrice to the game table to prevent her from leaving it. In the end, Beatrice's consciousness collapsed, but she remained trapped by that chain, unable to surrender until a truly decisive victory had been reached.
So, in order to keep the game going, Lambdadelta stepped in and took over Beatrice's position as Gamemaster. In disgust at this takeover of the role he considered Beatrice's, Battler refused to play, but accepted Bernkastel's taking over his own place as a player. And so the game between Beatrice and Battler became a game between Lambdadelta and Bernkastel.
Lambdadelta thus proceeded with running her own 'cute' game, taking it in different directions than Beatrice had, ones displeasing to Beatrice's servants and Battler. The game was suspended when Bernkastel decided to give her answer about the culprit. But then Battler understood the truth and became the new gamemaster, and Lambdadelta acknowledged it and handed the 'chessboard' of Rokkenjima over to him.
The canon point is shortly after the start of the sixth game (the same point as Battler's current point).
Personality:
The most immediate impression of Lambdadelta tends to be as a weird and childish person. Making bizarre declarations such as calling herself super paper in a paper-rock-scissors of witches' strength, throwing a tantrum after being teased about Santa not coming for her, her love for candy, and so on.
Not only that, but she often comes off as prideful and boastful, with her proclamations of herself as the strongest witch and the Witch of Certainty who can make something absolutely certain without fail, etc.
But underlying this is a cunning mind. At many points she discusses the games quite seriously. For example, she completely demolished Battler's shoddy arguments at the end of the fourth game in her private lovemaking discussion session with Bernkastel afterward.
Not only that, but she can be fairly cruel and merciless. There's a definite sadistic delight in the manner in which she talks about her 'punishment games' and she'll rig people into almost impossible situations, such as having to choose between having their own husband killed or sitting in a closet while listening to someone getting murdered and doing nothing about it.
And yet, she has a special liking for those with the determination to make their efforts come true, no matter how difficult it might be. She's been known not only to show mercy to them, but to aid them. That's right! She'll even give her all for them! To the point where it literally kills her! Determined underdogs, Lambdadelta's here for you! Although she's so frequently disappointed, by people with paltry ambitions, or whose efforts stop short of that needed to realize their desires.
Boredom is her worst enemy as it generally is for witches like her. A lot of what she does is to distract herself from the hell she was trapped in as she spent what seemed like an eternity trying to figure her way out of the logic error she had trapped herself in. She still fears that the life she is living now isn't reality, that she's just suffering a delusion while still trapped in that hell.
Other:
Lambdadelta is, quite simply, overpowered even for an Umineko witch. Fortunately, she tends to exercise a fair amount of restraint, often preferring to act through subtle means rather than simply using her magic willy nilly. I plan to be quite, quite careful with uses of her formidable magical talents as to avoid godmoding people.

First Person (entry type):
Found you!
Or are there any other possible explanations for the visitors out of nowhere, like that violet-haired girl who keeps showing up? Definitely, certainly not!
You see, ever since I found you on my book, I've been observing you. Such a wonderfully marvelous thing, an internet community that spans worlds! Ahh, if only I had thought it up. It's definitely a wonderful game, and one I'll play!
After all, it's a game with power beyond even that of the strongest witch in existence. Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to bulge it from my book. Yes, I can see that I'm in a player in this game regardless or not I want to play. There's no need to humilate myself with multiple futile attempts, right?
Good thing this promises to be a game that won't bore me! Whoever might be responsible for this game, as the Witch of Certainty, I accept your challenge! I must say I approve of the duck theme. It's perfectly cute and enough for me.
Third Person:
[A cake had appeared in front of her. A mysterious, suspicious cake. One that couldn't possibly be anything other than a trap intended for her. Carefully, she inspects it with all her senses. It looks like a wonderfully delicious, delectable cake. It smells like a wonderfully delicious, delectable cake. It tastes like a wonderfully delicious, delectable cake.
Ahh, so worth falling into the obvious trap. As Lambdadelta tumbles into the new shape the virus is forcing her into, she feels no regrets. Such wonderful cakes're worth it.
And this virus looks like one that won't bore her.
What? This shape was not cute at all! Such a hideous shape to find herself in, with the bulbous eyes and the warty skin, and the dull gray mottled colors. So humiliating, to be in an ugly shape like that. One not befitting for a witch like her. Something pink would've been better.
Yes, this virus definitely wouldn't bore her.
The cake was still worth it. Ahh, how the memories of its sweetness fulling her taste buds continues to tickle her tongue.]
