In an instant, amidst a shower of pink petals, there was the vision of a woman in clothes which were white on top and red on the bottom.

Vol. 8, epilogue.

It appears quite clearly that she is the Miko (litt. Divine Child) of the Cherry Blossom Shrine, whose Go-Shintai is either the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown or a replica used to deceive ennemies trying to destroy the guild, which is also part of the reason Lastborn is the keeper of the Staff when Momonga do not have it with him, in the Throne Room or in another key location such as the Treasury.

The 8th floor is where dwelve the most powerfull NPCs, so there is likely a high concentration of NPC lvl 80 on average in this floor, and the three mightiest are Rubedo, Victim and Lastborn.

We already know as a fact that Rubedo is a close combat specialist. Victim is a sacrificial offering, which probably grant huge buff to it's allies. Lastborn is likely to be a specialist of space-time continuum magic and/or maybe Japanese system of magic, as it may be related. Shugendô, which is highly synctric, had Miko serving in mountainous shrines dedicated to Kunitokotachi-no-kami, and they stayed virgin for some time before wedding a Yamabushi. She could also be learned in Onmyôdô, which too is highly syncretic, as it includes a lot of disciplines from Astrology to Fusui (Feng Shui) and Sino-Japanese Demonology, so they were actually highly versatile Thaumaturges. It is possible that she is a Miko with background more purely Shintoist, or Shinbutsu-Shugô, as Buddhism do well with space-time magic (Mandala are representations of the world / universe / cosmos), while Shinto is originally based on Naturalist Hierophany, with religious practice and esoterics which were added latter along with Metaphysics.

And it is also possible that she could be just a "popular image" Miko.

The lore we'll get from Maruyama Kugane senseï will be pretty enlightening about his personality, knowledge, culture and opinions about the Japanese Nation and it's future (as it was already stated that the setting was dystopic). Especially her personality, settings and creator (I have some good candidates in mind... let's hope they are not those of the 41 who get all the attention especially that imbecile Touch Me).

The Lastborn is an important key to all of that. I'm barely surprised some people read Overlord just to see her character developpement.
