Übel

Dark green hair bound into a thick ponytail at her side, its bangs split into three, falls around Übel's face, while her purple eyes carry a droopy shape framed by heavy lashes. She stands about as tall as Fern. Her usual outfit centers on a snug black top held up by four straps that run to a ring at her choker, set above a pleated black skirt reaching the thigh and parted from the top by a thick front-clasped belt; knee-high black boots and white trim finish it. She layers on assorted bands and a glove, and carries a staff shaped like a black spear, twin curved blades near its lightning-bolt tip and a ribbon knotted close by. For missions she throws a cropped, off-shoulder coat over the ensemble, and at the Foundation Festival gathering she appears in a strapless black gown with a sheer lace turtleneck, a flower at her waist, and her hair pinned half up.

Calm and sly, Übel has earned her name as a troublemaker, taking open delight in fights to the death and feeling neither guilt nor remorse for those she kills. She chatters constantly in battle, joking that staying silent would be the death of her. Beneath the menace, though, she works genuinely hard to understand the people around her, trailing targets or drawing out long talks even in tense moments. This springs from her conviction that a mage's specialized magic grows out of personality and lived experience, and by truly empathizing with someone she can replicate their spells: sharing Wirbel's reluctance to kill prematurely let her wield his Sorganeil, and that same understanding made her hesitate to finish him. She keeps a cool head as a sharp strategist, placing trust in her allies and opening up to them even knowing they may one day stand against her.

Sense regards Übel as a prodigy whose imagination operates apart from reason or common sense, letting her spells accomplish what rational mages deem impossible. She casts by feel, never needing to grasp how a spell truly works, which underpins her signature gift for copying others' magic: rather than studying its mechanics, she needs only to grasp what the caster feels and who they are. A perceptive strategist, she once baited Wirbel by tossing a caged Stille aloft and nearly took his eyes, and later saw through Land's clone. She also handles herself in close quarters, swinging her bladed staff like a polearm to slash, stab, and parry.

Her best-known spell, Reelseiden, cleaves through almost anything, trees and buildings included, on a path impossible to trace despite its simple classification; once limited to a reach of about five meters during the exam, its range had grown considerably some two years on. Its only real limit is her own visualization, since whatever she cannot picture herself cutting, she cannot cut. From empathizing with Wirbel she gained his binding spell, Sorganeil, and her repertoire also includes flight magic for escapes. After passing the exam, she asks Serie for a spell that would help her locate her missing sister.
