This monster appears in the artwork of Zefra Divine Strike.
This monster is Dance Princess of the Nekroz wearing armor based on Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth,
This monster shares the same Level, ATK, and DEF as the aforementioned monster, and has a similar effect dealing with banishing cards en mass. The summoning restrictions on this monster are also similar to the original.
All of the visual traits of the original Sophia have carried over to this monster, including its wings, horns, tattoos, dress, armbands, waist guards, and the two Gishki Aquamirrors worn as a bra. However, there are two major visual differences between the outfits of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth and its Nekroz counterpart:
A Nekroz Mirror appears on the stomach of Nekroz of Sophia, where the original had nothing.
The two colored orbs seen in this monster's artwork appear larger and in greater detail than in Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth. However, this is not because they are different orbs– they are actually the very same pair depicted in the original monster's art. While all the other parts of the original Sophia were resized to fit Dance Princess of the Nekroz the orbs stayed the same size– the Nekroz monster is simply that much smaller than the original.
This monster is the first Level 11 Ritual Monster, as well as the first Level 11 Spellcaster monster.
This monster is the first Nekroz Ritual Monster not to be based on a Synchro Monster.
It is also the first LIGHT Nekroz monster.
It is also the second Nekroz monster to have an Attribute other than WATER, the first being Zefraxa, Flame Beast of the Nekroz of the FIRE Attribute.
This card is the first Ritual Monster to specify where the Tributes used to Ritual Summon it must originate, in this case, the field.
