Name: Mary Stradford
Title: The City's Madness
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Grade: 3rd
Academy: Grand Academy of Song Knights' of Capella
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 110 lbs
Allignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance:
With wavy, brown hair that is usually held up in a ponytail, Mary is as perky as can be with blue eyes full of mirth and soft, caucasian skin. B-cup breasts jut out from her chest, covered by the shirt of the day and a brown waistcoat that is always around her shoulders.
Personality:
Mary is loud. She wants the world to know she exists, and isn't afraid to catch it's attention in any way possible. Being overbearing is a must for her, and those she meets will be greeted as if they had known each other their entire lives. Unafraid of anything, she will laugh in the face of danger, and jump straight into it with no thought of self-preservation.
In addition, she's openly perverted, inserting double entendre in conversation and dirty jokes as naturally as breathing. This perversion also brings a lack of shame, but she will never go over the boundaries of society, such as groping, public flashing, and the like. She gets as close as possible when she can, but will never cross over it.
Secretly, her only wish is to make friends. The world could burn and float away in ashes for all she cared, as long as those she cares about are safe and sound. As boisterous and brave as she is, her self-esteem is surprisingly low, and insults will hurt her deeply, even if she doesn't show it. Her emotions are always laid bare, except for when she is hurting. When that happens, she will possess a smile that never seems to reach her eyes, and move on as if she isn't in pain.
History:
Living in an orphanage was hard, especially when every child wants to be adopted, but only a few are taken every year. Her years from birth to six were stuck in such a place, where everyone needs a caretaker when there are only few. To compensate, she quickly became the loudest child, overshadowing all the others with sheer volume. This brought her to blows with the other children, and later causing her to become outcasted by both the children and the caretakers for her unneeded noise.
Isolation did not work for her, so Mary forced everyone to acknowledge her in any way she could. Her actions in her pursuit of attention gave her the title of a delinquent, and later the attention of a family, who later took her in and raised her as one of their own. Said family had later found the potential within her for great things, so they started her education a week after they had gained custody of her. She was seven years old at the time, and her personality stayed as boisterous as possible even after it wasn't needed anymore, since it was the reason her family had chosen her in the first place.
However, she was very lackadaisical with her studies, no matter her potential level, and didn't get very high in the school grading heirachy. The later appearance of her Spirit only further lowered her grades, until they just barely stayed above the passing grade. Couple this obvious waste of potential with her obnoxious personality, and the students of the Academy started to call her by her title, "The City's Madness". The only reason she is even in the Battle Royale is because it is the biggest stage for the world to know who Mary Strafford is, and she will give the world the best first impression she can ever give by winning the whole tourney.
Instrument and Weapons:
A loud, obnoxious trombone is her musical instrument of choice. Her propensity of playing the damn thing at ungodly hours is well-known, and one of the reasons for her title. However, even though her proficiency with the instrument is much higher than the average Knight, she does not use it for any other reason than music.
The true source of her magic, and what had enticed her Spirit, is the melodic sound of her voice.
Matching her personality, Mary wields a large, 6'6" tall,
two handed battle-axe, that she swings like it's only a stick within her hands. It's as attention-grabbing as her presence, and as powerful as her persistence.
Magic:
Illabye When Mary sings, her songs passively radiate an aura of calm that soothes the feelings of those around her. When she intentionally invokes her magic, this passive effect is increased tenfold, causing muscle relaxation, drowsiness, and euphoria to intense degrees.
Other:
-She has perfect pitch, meaning that she can single out the notes played within a piece or song just by hearing it.
-Despite her perversion, she has not a hint of revealing clothing within her wardrobe. Thank goodness for that.
-The music she plays from her trombone is usually upbeat and cheery, while the songs she sings with her voice are calming but powerful. A strange contradiction for sure.
-Mary's skill with her battle-axe is unparalleled, mostly because no one else uses such a bulky weapon, but also because she never wanted to rely on her Spirit for combat. Many are surprised by her daring maneuvers with the unwieldy device.
"~Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high~"

Gender: Female
Element: Water/ Dark
Rank: B
Height: 3'4"
Weight: 47 lbs
Alignment: True Neutral
Appearance:
Personality:
On the surface, she seems to be completely void of... Well, everything. Her face is always emotionless, a neutral appearance in every way. No voice will ever be heard from her lips, only the silence from the depths of her soul. The only hint of emotion one could ever find is within her eyes, which will burn with a cool indifference that seems to pierce through everything in her way, and her actions that usually contradict each other.
However, when she interacts with her partner, hidden feelings emerge from within her normally closed off personality. Embarrassment at Mary's antics, annoyance at being called a child, joy when being carried by the brunette. These feelings are brought to the surface by her unconditional loyalty to the teen, a burning desire to keep the light within her human alive. She would do anything to protect Mary, and would never show her hidden emotions if Mary wasn't around to bring them out.
Powers:
Shark's Teeth - The weapon she holds within her webbed hands, along with the talons at the end of said hands, are sharp and hard, capable of making deep gouges in layered steel with ease. Her weapon, while being seemingly made of wood, is stronger than iron, much harder to break than one would think. When her weapon is broken, she can repair it if she leaves it within a shadow, but a full repair will take 1-13 hours depending on the damage (1 hour for a crack, 13 hours for full dismantling)
Slippery - She is naturally nimble, out maneuvering anything that is even slightly slower than her with unnatural grace. This speed is enhanced within the rain, doubling the speed of every movement she makes. She is alright if exposed to high, natural temperatures, but the bonus she gains when hydrated becomes a bane within constant, intense heat, halving her speed instead. If one ever tried to match her speed within a body of water, they would be shredded by her in mere moments.
Enhanced Strength - Despite her tiny body, she is capable of moving, carrying, and stopping the momentum of objects 20 times her own weight(940 lbs), as well as using said weight in the power of her attacks. She will struggle with anything near her capacity, but she will pull through eventually.
