Name: Beatrice Edelfelt
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Nationality: Finnish/British
Race: Human
Height/Weight: 178.5 cm/"Piss off."
Appearance:
Ignore the guns, but otherwise accurate. Personality:
- By nature, Beatrice is rather charming and cheerful, but also pretty bloodthirsty and even somewhat sadistic; having grown up in one of the most prestigious Magus dynasties with a large emphasis placed upon honour and strength by those around her, she is very proud and enjoys a good old fashioned duel more than almost anything else. Despite her high-class family background, she only really seems to be at home in a fight or a hunt.
- Has a bit of a complicated relationship with the male gender; whilst she dislikes being expected to act 'proper' on account of her gender and family and so finds a lot of her male colleagues at the clock tower to be a bunch of simpering snobs and wimps, it's not universal. She gets along quite well with males that don't give her any real reason to dislike them, at least the majority of the time.
- Also somewhat of a social mixed bag, as whilst she's pleasant enough on a general level and capable of communicating with people, she doesn't quite get society as a whole or buy into a lot of the ideas surrounding it, and has a tendency to be pretty damned blunt and a little insensitive at turns. That and there's the knock-on effects of her slight sadism; whilst she doen't partake in outright emotional torture, there's a definite sense of her taking pleasure in teasing other people and making them squirm. For what it's worth, she can be a little literally-minded at points.
Weapon:
Beatrice's Mystic Code is Grasscutter, a longsword and sheath set designed to channel the elemental affinities of the wielder into either enhanced physical attacks with the longsword or enhanced spellcasting using the blade as a conductor. The longsword was originally the possession of a rogue magus who became a fugitive from the association after several unethical experiments; Beatrice ended up prying it from his corpse's cold, dead hands after he refused to go down without a fight, and she has since renovated it into its current form. Specifically, she has altered it to be especially compatible with her own wind affinity and her family's signature Jewel magecraft; but also created a sheath for it that allows for the sword to be fired outwards hilt-first at speeds rivalling that of a railgun being fired. This works via the buildup of wind prana collected at the tip of the sword and the bottom of the sheath whilst the Mystic Code is inactive being used to launch the former outwards at extremely high speeds from the latter. An invisible link exists between the two items to allow the sword to be recalled after being fired.
Abilities:
- Dual affinity- Beatrice has an affinity for two elements, with those elements being wind and earth. The former is used mostly in conjunction with Grasscutter for spellcasting and the creation of gusts and blades of wind, the latter as a means of enhancing her family's signature Jewel Magecraft and her own Reinforcement.
- Jewel Magecraft- As an Edelfelt, Beatrice has been taught how to make use of Jewels in storing prana and casting spells; and shows a particular aptitude for it as a result of her earth affinity.
- Deadly physical combatant- As a result of her combined use of Grasscutter and Reinforcement Magecraft.
- Gandr/Finn Shot- as expected of an Edelfelt, Beatrice is proficient in the use of this projectile curse.
History/Background: Beatrice is the eldest child of the current Edelfelt Head, and was intended from birth to assume the role of Head herself when she came of age; however, as she grew older, it became clear that she would not be an entirely wise choice for that position. Despite her competence as a Mage and enthusiasm for learning and proving herself, she had little interest in the politics of the Mages Association and developed a violent, bloodthirsty attitude that lead to her becoming more interested in fighting and joining the Mages Association's Enforcers than taking over and being tied down as family head. Things only became more complicated after she joined the Enforcers; her father gave up on her and attempted to pass the position of family head to her younger sister (who had also inherited the family crest via Ore Scales) instead. However, it emerged that her sister didn't care for family and Clock Tower politics either; she joined the Enforcers too, and the two of them have constantly tried to force the other to take responsibility since despite their otherwise amicable relationship.
Recently, both Beatrice and her sister obtained Command Seals from the re-emerged Holy Grail on account of the mechanics of the Edelfelt's Ore Scales. Realizing what was before her, she took towards the coming battle with disturbing enthusiasm.
Assets: Edelfelt family fortune (though in contention with her sister over it).
