Full Name:Akechi Fujino
Nicknames:Ereshkigal0fDaNether99
Fuji
Yuki-Onna
Gender:Female
Age:19
Birthday:9|9
Affiliation:Akechi
Personality:Fujino is a tranquil individual, steadfast to understand and ponder what's around her before an act of pursuit is made. Within the courts of the Akechi main' and its usual haughty members, unlike the rest of them, Fujino exhibits a contagious childlike enthusiasm prone to melting the hearts of many. In spite of her kindness, she's well-meaning and the likelihood of debating with her is practical given her alternative-conservative methody. She will humbly submit if proven wrong or otherwise, the other has too much insistence.
While Fujino highly prefers her method, she's willing to pursue the best course of action no matter how unorthodox and gruesome it may be. It's also a running gag within her family's courts that she's often compared to the Enishi vassal, Kizuna, due their visible similarities as if they're the same person, with parallel physical appearances to boot; icy blue eyes, etc. Aware of this parallelism, Fujino doesn't seem to mind and takes it as a polite compliment, she had worked with Kizuna twice and holds the Enishi in high regard. Despite her calmness, Fujino's prone to take things personally and has perfectionist standards, stemming from her rough upbringing.
The young lady also has a hunger for heat and may indiscriminately hug people. It's a subconscious matter that Fujino craves for love and attention. She has a drive of fixing things even though it cannot be fixed.

The faithful Enishi clan has been serving the Akechi since imperial Japan, Fujino acknowledges the assertive Kizuna for her services like the rest of the chain-users. It's been twice they worked concurrently - having solved the murder case of Akechi Masato three years ago and apprehended his murderers.

•Jana - she recognizes Jana as Kizuna's close friend and as the girl afraid of rats.

•Touma - she is thankful for giving her life support.
•Takuto - Fujino has a crush on this man. She never imagined that she can finally touch someone without freezing them, this is of course after her injury.
•Yuri - the previous head was kind enough to give her a place to stay, after accidentally killing her dad at the age of 10.
Backstory
Fujino is raised in the Akechi Main' under a stressful environment with exceedingly high expectations considering the prospect of her ability. As far as it resonates in her memory, her childhood was dedicated into perfecting her abilities and mastering the Akechi ethics, she had no time to have fun and act like a normal kid. She once disobeyed, resulting into starvation from heat for quite some time, because of this, Fujino lived in fear of disobeying her superiors, she strived to fulfill their standards religiously.
Her father viewed her to be the pinnacle of the Akechi and prevented Fujino from ever seeing her mother and siblings by living in a separate house. Since then Fujino's been raised abusively by her father and often compared to her deceased older brother who had better abilities than both of them. She's been given exceptional education, all her life, Fujino thought that she's just a replacement of her deceased older brother. Fujino has been taught all kinds of things aside magic, from machinery to engineering and of course magical subject of thermodynamics. She had developed a mentality of never wanting to be hurt again and honed her walls.
The degree of abuse from her father triggered Fujino's pent-up emotions, she accidentally kills him in self-defense, it was when her Thermal Diffusion Field strengthened on higher subconscious level. Since then, Fujino refuses to touch the subject regarding her past and she's not satisfied. Fujuno hates violence and would rather avoid fights but given the Zero-Time events that transpired, she had no other choice but to lend her strength.
Prior to assignment as part of Hector's squad, Fujino suffered injuries from Zero-Time monsters, losing her right arm, and damaging her frontal lobe which reduced her magic potential and mitigated her shield to the point she can't use magic.
Fujino is a force of nature.
Fujino is born with an invisible layer of armor protecting her from harm, whatever comes in contact with her skin loses momentum as she subconsciously absorbs its accretion, freezing it in the process and release the accumulated soul energy into bursts of cold and ice constructs otherwise she'll be heat-sick. Whenever she's in attack mode, she loses her armor and becomes vulnerable to countermeasures, hence, her stationary preference of standing and tanking assaults because it would just freeze. The best way to defeat Fujino is to constantly spam relentless attacks so that she may overload and be forced to relinquish her armor in exchange for attack power, after that she'll be exhausted and may take time to recover her armor.
She can't attack and defend at the same time.
The real annoying part of Fujino's magic is not the invisible thermal diffusion shield but her Final Soul Burst technique which covers a wide AoE. Fujino has a criminally crippling limited range on what she can plunder, she is boxed, therefore, she tanks attacks to sustain her body temperature.
Fujino can also transfer the heat she has stolen and retain its fresh temperature into objects or people to keep them stable not attack. She has restraint on what she plunders so she won't kill them, Fujino would go so far to ask permission to plunder. Heat is soul energy and vitality of living things.
After sustaining nerval injuries, Fujino now relies on cybernetics to augment the former power she once had but on a limited timeframe. Her lauded shield now requires activation from her cybernetics to replicate its former glory.
Magical Items:Thermal Assistance Cane Model 1
Detects soul energy of heat content within the area that would help Fujino approach to plunder heat sources. The cane is a sword in disguise that allows Fujino to defend herself during downtimes of her magic. It has a built-in camera, microphone and snacks whenever she needs it. She badly needs to use the cane due to the damage she sustained, without it, the toll of her brain damage cripples her by being stressed.
Thermo Electrode Cybernetics
In general, these cybernetics stabilizes her cognitive functions and body temperature.
The Akechi funded a Magical IT Network for Fujino's cognitive support, the device is connected to the network which allows Fujino to augment her magic with the assistance of multiple professionals making the input of her magic while she does the output. Fujino's nervous system was significantly damaged, she has mini electrode nerval implants within her, this includes her cybernetic prosthetic right arm which allows Fujino to replicate its former function.
She also has a choker which can be turned on and off for her to use her magic, this was due to her injuries that limited her use of magic. Fujino can only use magic for about 30 minutes per day, therefore, conservative use. The batteries are thermal absorbent, but they are eclipsed on Fujino's level of absorbing heat, hence, she must be careful on how much she absorbs to recharge her batteries otherwise they'll burn out.
The choker has Mage Mode for attacking and Casual Mode which saves up energy and allows her to function as a normal human being with proper cognitive abilities.
