Name: Fiona
Gender: Female
Appearance:
FionaPersonality:
Fiona is above all courteous and polite, maintaining a calm outlook to anything and everything that is going on around her. Refusing to resort to violence first, she will face even armed attackers with a smile and a greeting – although if she is attacked, she will first laugh at the prospect of attacking an ambassador of death before dragging them on board her train, so to speak.
Due to her occupation and style of choice, she is something of a train mania. She has memorized railway schedules throughout the entire North American continent and is known to get excited over new trains being launched and watching trains go by. She is subscribed to the American Magazine Railway Illustrated.
Species: Dullahan
Train Conductor: Fiona is, above all, the conductor of the Nether Express. She is competent in her duties as a conductor, managing the train and ensuring it arrives at its destinations on schedule.
Photography: During her time as a train enthusiast, Fiona has become skilled in the art of photography. Many of her pictures are framed and hung on the corridors and rooms of the Nether Express.
Spiritual awareness: Fiona is able to see, speak to and interact with the souls of the dead. This is a crucial part of her job.
Off with my head!: As a Dullahan, Fiona is capable of detaching her head. However, in order to both blend into the human world whenever she is off in her rail enthusiast activities or to prevent shocking the spirits of the newly deceased, she doesn't take her head off.
Ablities:
Fiona's Danmaku usually takes on the form of regular bullets although more powerful danmanku abilities will have a train launching at her opponent. Her most powerful spellcard, Railroad Sign: Terminal Station calls 13 trains of fellow Dullahans, calling for their aid and signalling all of them to charge through the air and ram her opponent.
Representation: Fiona is not a living being as something with a soul. Instead, she is a manifestation of the concept of death - or rather, a greater concept attached to it; the law which states "all which has form must come to an end". Her existence is intrinsically linked to that law - for example, the very definition of "water" is that there be physical water there. She is the same; she is a part of that law and although it is possible to destroy her physical body she will always come back with another one.

Lifespan sight: Fiona can see the remaining natural lifespan of mortals, although she is forbidden from divulging that information under any situation. Even if it is divulged, the efforts of a person to attempt to prolong their life usually leads them into a self-fulfilling prophecy and die regardless.

The Nether Express: a large, jet black steam locomotive which carries along with it several passenger, lounge, sleeping and even restaurant cars, catering to souls more for the experience of eating something they like instead of sustaining physical needs. The lounge itself is extremely well furbished and decorated, and the express itself would easily compete with the most luxurious trains in existence.
It should be noted that The Nether Express never has a defined number of cars and supplies. The Nether Express does not have "five" cars or "ten" cars; instead it always has "enough" cars to comfortably accommodate any number of souls who embark. The train does not run on human-built rails but instead rails are constructed wherever it goes and vanishes whenever the train departs.
As a train which guides people to the afterlife, it normally cannot be seen by mortals and the living, although Fiona is capable of handing out "tickets" to those still living to allow them to see and board the train temporarily. As a Dullahan train, nothing may bar its path and it is able to take Fiona to the underworld from anywhere, capable of clearing any obstacle – by force, if necessary.
The Nether Express can also bring out "war trains" or "war wagons" as well in accordance to Fiona's needs/wants/whims/demands/whining.
Brief Backstory: A transporter of souls from one realm to the next, Fiona simply wanders around, picking up souls and serving as the vehicle for many a soul's great journey to the beyond. She may or may not be the one who picks up the slack whenever Komachi gets lazy... which, of course, is most likely most of the time.
