 This villain is also known as the host of, Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya
|
Apostle of Dawn Lije (黎明の使徒 リジェ Reimei no Shito Rije) is Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya's child-like metatron, responsible for linking the two worlds. She is also a host to Dezumozorlya. Dezumozorlya's power would later force Lije to grow, becoming Apostle of Dawn Lejewel (黎明の使徒リジュエル Reimei no Shito Rijueru), and later DezumoLejewel (デズモリジュエル Dezumorijueru).
History[]
When she and Mizuho went to fight the Evoliens at Dezumozorlya's palace, Mahoro didn't know she was pregnant with her and Asuka's child. Dezumozorlya used his power to show Mahoro an illusion that Asuka has abandoned her for another woman and implanted himself into her baby along with brainwashing her and her brother into serving him. By the time the infant was born, Mahoro had long forgotten Asuka as she placed the baby inside a pod where she matured within a year into the girl named "Lije". However, while Dezumozorlya controlled half of Lije's soul, the other half became a semi-separate being of her own, who is a mysterious unnamed girl. The mysterious girl persona occasionally leaves Lije's body to stop the fight between Asuka and Mahoro and remind them of their love. When Lije met the mysterious girl, she momentarily dispersed her other self with her blast of lightning
Eventually, unaware that he possessed the other half of Dezumozorlya's being, Lije fell in love with Mikoto Nakadai prior to being force grown into Lejewel. Upon becoming Lejewel, this causes the mysterious girl to be permanently separated from her other self and attempts to use Mai Hakua to maintain her existence before eventually befriending her. But when the truth that she and Mikoto must die so a fully awakened Dezumozorlya can become whole again, Rejewel helps the Abaranger convince Mikoto of the truth allowing him to run. She then finds herself being possessed by Dezumozorlya and later he transforms her body into Dezumorejewel to fight the Abarangers before Abare Killer joins them in overpowering DezumoLejewel by combining the power of their Dinoguts.
Taking advantage of Dezumozorlya's moment of weakness, the mysterious girl appears and enters Lejewel to purge the entity. With her and the mysterious girl completely merged back into one, Lejewel regresses back into Lije and then into her original infant form. The infant is soon named after Mikoto.
During the Final Episode, a couple that resembles Lejewel and Mikoto and a family that resembles Asuka, Mahoro, and Lije entered the Dino Curry much to the Abaranger's surprise.
Mikoto possessed Lije/Lejewel's ability to travel between Earth and Dino-Earth that enabled her father to aid their friends when needed during the events of Dekaranger Vs. Abaranger, Boukenger Vs. Super Sentai, and the Legend War.

Envisioning the girls in his life cosplaying Sentai characters, Nobuo Akagi saw Yumeria Moegi and Hiroyo Hakase as Lije and Lejewel respectively.

Personality[]
As Lije, she is normally sweet and caring, wishing all the Trinoids and Giganoids she sent down to Earth a good luck and even complimenting them. She seemed to be quite affectionate as she enjoyed using her power to send the Trinoids and Giganoids to Earth which involved kissing them, Lije also tries to cheer up the other Evolian members whenever they're aggravated over their defeats. Like any child Lije looks for fun wherever she goes as she once became so flustered by the commands of Dezumozorlya she left Dino Earth to Another Earth in an effort to find some excitement and when she meets the Abarangers there she demonstrates a formal side to her personality when she greets them but quickly left when she didn't find them 'exciting'. However, as she spends more time with Mikoto, who she has a crush on, she slowly developed negative traits such as becoming extremely clingy and possessive of him and this in turn made her more aggressive, rude, self-centered and turned into a spoiled brat at times, something that Yatsudenwani noted.
Whenever Dezumozorlya possessed her, her voice deepened to that of a possessed female and she became ruthless, torturing her fellow Evolien members with a blast of green lightning from her hands (something that she can also without Dezumozorlya's possession sometimes).
When she becomes Lejewel, while she still have some child-like personality, she becomes more and more attached and infatuated to Mikoto, getting annoyed when Mikoto left her side or brought Mahoro back to be transformed into Jeanne. Her ruthlessness and rudeness was also increased, as seen when she electrocuted Mikela and Voffa out of annoyance after her plan with Rougirafflesia failed and calls Mahoro an old lady, which in turn, made Mahoro call her a brat. She also developed a love for wine, often seeing drinking them with Mikoto and even left a battlefield just to drink wine. However, she had also grown to genuinely loved Mikoto, becoming one of the few creatures who cared for him, as she was annoyed when Mikela and Voffa offered him food that does not suit his tastes, and even convinced the Abarangers to take care of Mikoto after it was revealed that the other half of Dezumozorlya in his body.
Forms[]
In her child form, Lije possesses no combat ability and only has the power to traverse between the two worlds. With her magical kiss, the Trinoid and Giganoid are able to travel to the other world. When Dezumozorlya possessed her, she gains the ability to fire green lightning blasts from her hands as a way to express his displeasure of his minions' failures, however there are times that she can do it without Dezumozorlya' possession.

Abilities[]
At first, Lije's abilities are rather limited, she can transport herself between the two worlds as she wishes and can use it on the Trinoids and Giganoids too. When Dezumozorlya possessed her, she gains the ability to fire green lightning blasts from her hands so Dezumozorlya can express his displeasure at his minions' failures, however, even without Dezumozorlya's influence, she was shown to have the power of lightning blasts herself, probably as a form of self-defense.
When she became Lejewel, she was armed with a scepter, and she gains powerful offensive abilities such as "Bomber Kiss" and "Lejewel Flash Illusion" while still retaining her previous abilities. As DezumoRejewel, her power is increased even further, albeit forced, as Dezumozorlya was merely using her body. He/she was still able to fire powerful green lighting blasts like Lije/Lejewel did and withstand most of the Abaranger's power.
After she regressed back to the infant she lost most of her abilities when Dezumozorlya was purged from her body but her transportation ability still remains to allow Asuka to come to Earth and fight along with the others when necessary.
