Madelen Helvegen

Madelen Helvegen (マデレン ヘルブジェン maderen herubujen) is a mage from Mys and a skilled and proficient user of Ring Magic. The younger twin sister to Oskar Helvegen, the two mages are nearly always seen together side by side, mainly because they have realised that they are much stronger when they are together rather than alone. Having been born without the love of her original parents, Madelen and Oskar had to survive by themselves in the Mystan city of Saurian, which was known for it's heavy criminal activity and population that desensitised the young mages from the realities of the world. Only just arriving in Ishgar in the year X801 after hitching a ride with slave traders who made a delivery for Saurian, both brother and sister Oskar and Madelen were ready to renew their chances at life and start a new, having a second go to redeem themselves and become something great in this new land that they have stumbled upon. Out of the two mages, Madelen proves to be the more intellectual and passive one, as she prefers to take out enemies with tactics and strategies instead of brute strength, something that Oskar is known for.

Since being always around Oskar, Madelen and her brother has established a sort of special ability between them whenever they may be around each other in the same area. This kind of ability allows them to locate each other quite easily as well as becoming stronger than usual, thus retaining an importance in their partnership and presence around each other. Combining both brain and brawn, combat and strategy, Madelen and Oskar become battle worthy despite their young age and their magics which may hot seem to do much at a first glance. Just as how this connection strengthens their relationship, it also does however weaken them as well with unique weaknesses that Madelen and Oskar display when they stray further from each other. In this pair, Madelen displays signs of uncomfort and a series of repeating headaches which reflects on the use of her brain. This will of course interfere with her magic and combat and will continue into strong migraines, which will then proceed to cause Madelen to pass out on the spot no matter where she is. The process can instantly be stopped once Madelen and Oskar get into a reasonable distance between each other.

Named The Bishop (ビショップ Bishoppu) after the chess piece that shares the same name, Madelen not only plans her moves with some sort of strategy, chooses a different direction when handling things but she is also the one out of the two who tries to stay closer to the two's superior/s. She has proven herself to be a loyal and worthy subordinate and partner to many, and tries to make use of her intelligence and presence whenever with a team. Madelen is also usually teased by her brother Oskar for being a suck-up to those with command over the two if they have any. She is also called Lavandula (レーバンドゥラ reebandura) because of the purple accents to her appearance that closely match the purple colour of a lavender, a flower which Madelen favours and adores as it has become a significant image and symbol for her childhood. She also sees the lavender as a beacon of hope as it was a flower she had always seen during those moments of her rough past which would also signal Madelen that there was going to be some good in that situation. Besides the past that the twins had to deal with, Madelen is the one staying strong so that she and her brother can get through with their lives.

Appearance
Madelen is a small, petite teenager who has retained her innocent and young figure especially her face which still bears the eyes that belonged to her since her early days surviving Saurian. With skin just as light as the sun's soft white rays, Madelen truly is a symbol of innocence and peace as everything about her look speaks of calming and soothing vibes. Her eyes are well rounded, and bare a strong bold purple colour for it's irises that are usually large to match the scale of her eyes, decorated with a noticeably strong use of mascara on her eyelashes as shown. Not too thin lines that are her eyebrows sit well above her purple eyes and start from the inner sides thick slowly becoming more and more thin when the eyebrows reach outwards from their position. Her hair is a silvery-white and is styled to flow down her head in all sorts of directions as many strands of hair can be seen pointing down in other directions from other strands. Because of this, her ears are hidden underneath the mess of hair she has and is barely even seen. Her hair is always cut to make sure that her hair always remains above or around her shoulders. Her bare body is definitely not that of a warriors, but more of a ballerina's as she has not built enough fat on her body as she retains a somewhat skinny body size. Though she does have muscle, Madelen does not appear to be well built for combat of many types and has the body of someone that may choose to rely on her quick agile movements rather than taking on hits head on. Madelen has been said to bare scars all over her torso and arms due to the kind of environment that they were placed in changing them, usually from the act of dangerous criminals who had tried to assault her.

Her usual outfit consists of a navy blue coloured military uniform that is designed and fitted to her body structure, decorated with other colours of darker shades of blue as well as polar white to add detail. The coat reaches down to the middle of Madelen's calves and do not stray too far from her waistline. Underneath her outer clothing, Madelen wears a very dark grey dress shirt with a noticeable collar that is usually tucked down by the outside coat's own collar. Madelen also wears a black tie around the collar to keep it neat and professional, also nicely tucked into the military overcoat. Her over jacket is always buttoned up all the way with all twelve golden buttons slipped through each hole to keep the jacket together. The jacket's collar is lined with the white threading that details the outline of the said piece, doing this each for the four parts that make up the jacket's collar. On her shoulders, Madelen wears two military styled shoulder pads that do nothing but cosmetic uses as they are threaded with gold material in order to give it some sort of rope look. On her hands, Madelen wears white gloves that have been decorated with gold that circle and wrap around the cuffs two times. She does wear big notable pieces of armour however, both coloured black as one heavy piece shields and acts as a cauldron for Madelen's right shoulder with the other piece of metal acting as a wrist protector for Madelen's left wrist. She wears many purple ribbons all over her armour in order to symbolise lavenders and their primary colour of purple, with one ribbon being special as it has been intertwined with a white ribbon and hung from the top left side of Madelen's jacket down to the bottom right side.

Personality
Madelen is the kinder soul of the duo, being willing to help anyone who comes to her and actually needs it as she tries to heal the world of it's injuries. Her kindness is only matched by her innocent look, being the younger sister she is also the most approachable for anyone coming to meet her as she is always going to be friendly no matter how dodgy a person may look or how bad their known reputation is to the world. Even if she does not quite have the magics to properly help with all the problems in the world, she will without a doubt try her best to do what she can do to help the situation at least. A sort of conscience to her older brother, Madelen helps her brother Oskar in many situations so that she can keep him safe, as it is very apparent that she doesn't trust Oskar working by himself and knows that he may stumble into trouble if left unattended for too long. Though she does indeed care and love her brother as he is the only family that Madelen has left to call as one, wanting only what is best for Oskar even if some of the things she does goes against her brother's wishes. This is what makes her ignorant at this point, as she will do nearly anything to keep her brother safe even if it means to use herself as a human shield to protect Oskar from incoming attacks. Being the smart one in the partnership, Madelen is the one responsible for coming up with the strategies and tactics that would make up the attacks the twins would do. Both siblings share a strong feelings of trust on their capabilities between each other, with Madelen trusting more on her brother's violent attitude and stronger abilities compared to her own to protect her. When her brain and her brother's strength combine, they both gracefully sway into a harmonic symphony of a display of great teamwork and fine showmanship. It is with her brother that Madelen's true strengths and colours can really show on display for all to see.

She was not a born leader, choosing to follow others rather than lead as she feels uncomfortable handing out orders easily with no sympathy to how the others may feel about her. This is mainly because she lacks the confidence and leadership to command more than just one person under her command, and when left to do so will instantly freak out and become under pressure due to the embarrassment and feeling nervousness that Madelen has been overwhelmed with. Anything to do with being in the spotlight in-fact is fair game for this wave of pressuring emotions to come flooding in and freezing Madelen on the spot until all eyes are off her. This is quite the opposite to her brother who is someone who seeks attention, fame and glory for his identity, striking a contradiction in their relationship and making things difficult for one another as their morals and values differ greatly. Madelen chooses only to aim to leave a long lasting legacy on the world, an act of great change that will go unknown besides the fact that it actually exists and works in the shadows in order to so. She has noted that she has tried on several occasions to find what the world needs for a change and continues to try and find a way to achieve her goal in the standards that she has placed for it. She has got the determination to do so and shows that even if the biggest obstacle may be planted in her way to completing her task, she will accept it and attempt to move forward with everything she's got no matter how hard it may be. This yet again is in conflict with her brother Oskar's ideals, who wants to achieve fame and fortune for a heroic act with his and his sister's name everywhere thus resulting in everyone looking at Madelen yet again. Just like said before however, besides all this Madelen and Oskar are proper role models on how a team should operate and show complete chemistry and full effort into their teamwork.

When Madelen fights, she tries to avoid the attacks usually with her somewhat fast agility instead of blocking and taking in the damage which she knows is a more damaging choice due to her body structure. She is not quite a fan of fighting, sighing as she accepts the battle even if she doesn't want to as she knows that Oskar will force her into it. During battle, Madelen tries to remain calm and concentrated on her opponent and the environment around her, taking everything into account to add to what kind of strategy she would come up with. She is not quite the best at strategy but she is somewhat better than normal, coming up with ideas that will make sure Oskar's and her powers blend well together where they can produce powerful attacks for their kind of power level. At appropriate times, Madelen can be creative when she wants to, figuring out how the environment works and what magics that Oskar and she can do with it to affect said environment. As she is someone who does not really like fighting face to face with her enemies, it can be quite a pain when handling Madelen solo, as the use of her Concealment Ring and the type of environment that she may be fighting in has proven to be quite the task and chase. Though in general, Madelen does not really like fighting itself and tries to find ways that lead to an alternative and more peaceful path with very little violence that could commence, showing a peaceful side to Madelen's nature. She is pacifist at heart but when the time calls for combat she will not shy away from drawing her blade and staring right into the heart of the enemy, ready to pounce and strike. She is not as violent and aggressive as her brother, as she uses her agility to really speed up the attacks of her sword, utilising swift blade strikes to cut down the opponent instead of using heavier and more bloodthirsty attacks which is used by her brothers. She can actually control whether the attacks she does with her sword can cut to be lethal or to apprehend which can still damage the target but not intentionally kill them.

Ring Magic
Ring Magic (指輪魔法 Yubiwa Mahō) is a Holder Magic type and is the utilisation of magically enchanted or powered rings to be able to utilise their specified effects in order to help with combat or other things. It is a type of Magic that allows the caster to cast different Magics and spells with special rings. The rings are meant to enhance the wielder's Magic Power, granting them the ability to cast various spells for different purposes; some can be used for everyday use (generally speaking) or solely for combat. The properties in each ring are completely varied. In addition, while there are various types of Ring Magic that can be used, some are simply spells without a proper Magic for them to back it up. Though Madelen only really has a total of two simple rings that can allow her to preform two supportive actions on the field as opposed to being offensive or defensive, Madelen is very skilled in her use of the rings and utilise them for other things than their main purpose. Her complex knowledge and intense study of the Magic Rings allows her to identify and describe many of the common rings as well as a few rarer types on the spot, however rings that have been custom made to the person are not able to be identified by Madelen who will remain clueless to the said ring. When using the rings however, the user is limited to the power of the rings themselves and can only prolong the effect of the ring by conducting her magical power into the lacrima/power of her rings. Though in some cases like the Luminescence Ring worn by Madelen, it is shown that some rings have been created without this rule and only supply the effect to which the user must learn to enhance with their magical capabilities.

Equipment
Magic Rings (魔法の指輪 Mahō no Yubiwa) are that are primarily used by Ring Magic users, enchanted with unique capabilities that allow the user to cast these spells themselves with the use of the specific ring. With a lacrima making up it's magic properties, it is vital that a mage is learning Ring Magic in order to activate it as these are the mages with the knowledge and skill to activate said rings. With a variety of effects that many rings in Earth Land can do, Magic Rings act like any other kind of Holder Magic item due to it's nature and properties. Many Magic Rings are quite easy to obtain which can explain the amount of Ring Magic users in the world today, but there are also rings that are somewhat rarer or just completely impossible to find, setting a rarity level to put emphasis on the kind of power that they hold within the lacrimas that make up their power. The power of the lacrima within Magic Rings is usually independent, having a set power that can be available to all Ring Magic users no matter what kind of level of skill they have. Th duration of the magic though is totally dependent on the magician's magic power and how much power they are conducting into the ring for the effect to take place. Madelen only has acquired two Magic Rings that act as a supportive to her actions, using the elements of Stealth and Light Magic in order to manoeuvre around the battlefield or anywhere in that matter. She wears the Magic Rings underneath her gloves so that she can hide their appearance and from the sight of enemies. This is also because the Magic Rings may act better because of their contact with her skin, especially with the use of her Luminescence Ring.
 * Concealment Ring (秘匿指輪 Hitoku Yubiwa): is a Magic Ring that allows the wielder to effectively render themselves invisible using a form of Stealth. In order to activate this spell, the wielder will need to channel their magical powers into it like any other Magic Ring, then their body will start to turn invisible after a short delay. Once this is done and in use, the Ring Mage will have the ability to walk around concealed from their targets view or infiltrate a building unseen, this concealment includes their clothes and whatever they may be holding onto at the time. This ring won't glow once in use and will like many other rings, start to drain the wielder's Magical Power for as long as the ring is active. One thing to note is that this spell doesn't in fact not allow the wielder to see other invisible people or objects, and would thus be at a clear disadvantage when up against a Stealth user. Madelen acquired this ring after having stolen it off one of the Mystan slave traders just as she got off their boat and arrived into the land of Ishgar. The most prominent ring that she wears, Madelen uses this ring to a great extent and uses it for most of her combat activity as it allows her to be unseen by her opponents. Just like said before, being able to be seen by actual users of the base magic Stealth, Madelen finds it hard when battling against them the most and are seen as her truly greatest enemy. Although she does mimic that of an assassin, Madelen is still only a young, little girl with very limited combat experience and some sort of talent within the world of magic. She wears the ring underneath her right glove on the ring finger.
 * Luminescence Ring (ルミネセンスリング Ruminesensuringu): is a Magic Ring that is unique to Madelen and allows her to use her magic power in order to light up the chosen finger with properties of Light Magic. Madelen like all the other Magic Rings first has to conduct the flow of ethernano energy into the Luminescence Ring, therefore activating the properties that the ring has to offer for the user. Whichever finger that the Luminescence Ring is worn on, that chosen finger's tip will begin to light up with whatever how much magic energy is currently being relayed to the ring. This is done by magic energy being pushed into the finger that the ring is bared on which causes the ethernano energy to try and escape, with it's main choice going to be the tip of the finger as this is one of the very popular choices for ethernano particles to pass out of the body. The Luminescence Ring is primarily made to illuminate dark areas and places or just act as a handy torch in general, as it produces around an average of 100-200 lumens which is enough to make someone shield their face or look away. The back-draw to this however is that the light may also affect the user's own sight as well so it is important that the user will have to adjust the power of the light to something that can both allow them to light up dark places but is also manageable for the user's sight. Found during her adventures within Mys, Madelen doesn't use this ring too much during combat due to it's supportive type of role, using the ring's power to temporarily blind incoming enemies or just it's original purpose as a torch. Madelen wears the Luminescence Ring on her left hand underneath her glove on the index finger.

Short-Bladed Katana (短翼カターナ Tan tsubasa katāna): a shorter scaled blade compared to that of the traditional katana sword, Madelen wields this Short-Bladed Katana as one of the main weapons that she uses to take down her opponents. With the blade made from part steel variant Tamahagane, part Kinesium and other traditional materials (such as Carbon) in order to enhance it's strength, Madelen's Short-Bladed Katana was professionally crafted to fit her style of fighting and is noticeably more shorter than her older brother Oskar's sword. With a handle that allows the use of either one or two hands, Madelen favours this sword as she can control how deep she can cut with the blade as opposed to just cutting and slashing without a care in the world. An ordinary sword that is only designed differently, Madelen's Short-Bladed Katana's hilt and handle is made with golden designs that decorate the body, adding another layer to it's hilt as well as enforcing the density of said part. The blade is etched in with another unknown design that matches that of a sort of serpent. It doesn't seem that this sword costs too much to make as well because of it's many repairs and remakes by Jack Trofast, the person that Madelen and Oskar go back to whenever they seem to break and/or damage their katanas. Despite it's artisan design, it only takes a few days for Jack to make and perfect as it will always look the same when the sword is given back to Madelen or Oskar. The sword however does show good enough strength to deflect many incoming blade attacks as well as cut through many things as if they were butter to a hot knife. Compared to other blades, this Short-Bladed Katana is much like a dagger and matches Madelen's small combat experience and knife handling skills.

Magic Prowess
Lex Duo (法律、2 Hōritsu, 2) is a sort of Magic Phenomenon that only happens when two magically sensitive offspring is produced on the same day, meaning that this kind of thing only happens to twin mages. The possibility and chance that Lex Duo can happen to magical twins is one out of a million so it is very rare to actually see a pair of twins that is affected with Lex Duo at all. Lex Duo actually happens when the twins are within the womb of the mother as this is where the two are kept and contained for ethernano particles to come and form what is known as the magical origin or the container for their magic power. As they form, ethernano particles can somehow create some sort of link by 'splitting themselves in half' as both halves enter the twins each, establishing a kind of connection that is made when the ethernano particles have departed from themselves and enter the two bodies. This kind of function is not normal is most likely a malfunction in the programming and nature in the ethernano from the atmosphere as this is quite unnatural even though this has occurred for thousands of years. When the connection is created and the magic origin has developed within the infant inside the womb, Lex Duo has been complete and now the twins must face the punishment of eachother's company due to the affinity based pain that will overwhelm the twins if they stray too far from one another. The ethernano particles that has blossomed the magic container is still very much active, and will remain active until the person's organs fail and give out. Because of this, that means that their connection is still active and will remain strong at a reasonable distance but when stretched out too far apart the magic container and the body will face some sort of pain of aching to tell that the connection is getting weaker and their bodies will at the cost of this.

However there is some strength to this connection that counters this consequence, as the twins can theoretically become stronger due to the stronger connection that their bodies now have as they are close to each other. With a strong connection now found, the twins at will can activate their bodies to send a dose of Epinephrine into their blood stream in order to strengthen their bodies as well as combining their force in order to become magically stronger. This will keep them active and energetic for a good period of time which can help them tip the scales of the fight into their favour if the situation is just right. However, this kind of energy doesn't last too long and only gives the twins a burst of power to fight with as they try to take down their opponents. One will be able to tell that this ability is being used by the aura that shows up radiating off the twins' bodies in the same colour as opposed to two different auras that are unique to the twins separately. The aura will depend on various things that involve the relationship between the twin siblings and will point of a sort of affinity that describes the two's relationship overall as it comes naturally due to it an act of the same ethernano magic power being 'joined together'. This is most helpful during team fights that have the twins fighting on the same side, as shown by the work of Madelen and Oskar Helvegen whose primary strengths have only been lifted by this burst of energy provided by the Lex Duo connection. One should note that the burst isn't quite as powerful as such to say the Dragon Slayers, but it does have it's times where it may be sufficient enough to overpower normal mages when the twins unite and blend their strengths together.

Madelen seems to suffer the most out of the partnership with her brother Oskar, as she seems to suffer pain that is towards her head and mind due to her primary use of wits and smarts to take on the problems that block her path. When her connection from her brother gets weaker the further Oskar and Madelen stray far apart, ethernano energy that seemed to hold the connection stream towards her head and sort of 'invade' her mind in an attempt to use the body's resources to help establish or strengthen the connection of Lex Duo. This sort of issue however causes the muscles and structures of the head to become overwhelmed with overactivity that she may suffer from light headaches that may not seem to do much at the moment. When straying apart for too long or the connection is stretched out more due to Oskar and Madelen moving too far from one another, these ethernano particles begin to really work at trying to fix the connection as they move fast in order to come up with a quick solution to their problem. This now furthers and intensifies the headaches that Madelen suffers from and gradually turns into migraines that will make life more difficult for Madelen to go through. This can then proceed to Madelen eventually suffering from an extreme migraine which becomes unbearable to the point of fainting from the pain, passing out with the migraine still active. The pain of migraines and headaches however will be suppressed and faded once Madelen comes back to Oskar as their connection becomes strong once again they are back fully functional as the ethernano particles instantly recognise that the connection is back up and running and can return to their normal flow.

Magical Aura (魔力の霊気 Maryoku no Reiki; Literally meaning Aura of Magical Power) is the term given to the ability that mages have in exerting their magical power into physical forms outside of their body, which when concentrated can be formed into various forms that is only limited to the imagination of the caster mage. A user's Magical Aura is a very common method of intimidation as it represents the power and strength of the mage's magical capabilities, as the generation and manipulation of ethernano magic is a very big thing when preforming one's Magical Aura. There is many things a user can do to their magic aura, from not only designing the form at the ethernano particles radiating off them take but also change the density and body of the ethernano to make them actually physical to harm the environment or even change the colour of the aura which is usually akin to the person's affinity. A Magical Aura can actually be used in combat by conducting the ethernano particles into the weapon or as a magic spell itself, giving this kind of ability a variety of different things to identify with. Madelen uses her Magical aura to form small flowers that can start radiating off her person in the colour of blue, and can control how much she can emit with her magical power. Though she also does use her Magical Aura with her sword to give it a decorative look as well as powering the strength and magical properties of the blade. She can also strengthen the blade by solidifying and hardening the ethernano particles by compacting them tightly around the blade and hitting incoming magical projectiles head on to deflect them or break them as the Magical Aura takes in the damage itself.
 * Magic Signal (魔法衛星放送, マジックシグナル, Majikku Shigunaru Literally meaning "Magic Satellite Broadcasting") is an ability most mages have in order to help them identify and sense other magicians within the vicinity around them. Through the use of one's Magical Aura, a ethernano sensitive being can be capable of sensing and feeling the ethernano particles that are currently in the area that they are in. They also have the ability to differentiate what kind of ethernano energy is around them if they are talented enough to do so, being able to focus more on ethernano energy that is in the atmosphere to describe how rich and powerful the area is or on a magical art user to describe what kind of magic they may be using or how powerful they are by the amount of energy that is buzzing off them. Madelen has shown that she seems to be more magically sensitive than other mages, with promising skill in detecting ethernano particles within the area with great skill as she can identify what kind of magic power a mage can cast with enough focus on the person or even describing how powerful an incoming magic spell really is by sensing the ethernano energy making up the said spell. This is one of the many abilities that Madelen uses in order to aid with her strategies, studying the power that can be emitted by a magical source and taking into account the strength of the effects. She also shows skill in identifying separate beings of magic power, as she can easily describe the power from several units on the field and avoid confusion from misidentifying a whole group of mages emitting large amounts of power for a single mage capable of extreme levels of magic talent.

Combat Prowess
Skilled Swordsmanship: Trained with her brother Oskar, Madelen was well trained to use her blade for combat and primarily uses it as a way to dealing with harder situations she cannot fix with her Magic Rings. Because she had trained at the same time and sessions as Oskar, she and her brother share the same kind of skill and experience which puts them at the same level of expertise when pit against each other. However, they both primarily utilise this kind of training very differently from each other for Madelen uses her skill in order to apprehend and severely injure her targets without any lethal means. She uses her precision and strength in order to help guide her blade into the the target's body, using her skill in order to cut into them without killing them, timing her attacks just right with the right strength and the right speed for her to complete her attacks. Though this is more complex and obviously harder to do as opposed to Oskar who strikes to actually intentionally injure, Madelen sees this as the payment and way when choosing to care more about a human being. She also is very proficient with any kind of blade due to her training and can wield blades ranging from the smallest of daggers to the lengthiest of longswords, making her even more dangerous when left with any kind of blade in her possession. With her blade and capabilities, Madelen is able to utilise the blade to it's full potential as she combines her natural advanced agility with her blade skills in order to strike down enemies quickly or even deflect physical projectiles. Her attacks however mostly rely on unsuspecting targets who will not put up much of a struggle, taking on the form of attack an assassin would use.

Physical Prowess
Average Strength: Madelen's strength is pretty much around the same as a normal human male's, having trained her body quite less but borderline healthy where she can do pretty much normal things like many normal people around her. Her strength is not the most important thing within her swordsmanship skills as the sharpness of the blade and her agile movement compensate for the amount of damage young Madelen can preform with just her katana. Madelen's strength however does come in handy whenever she may use her agility to move around quicker, as it has proven itself to be more than enough to catch her and keep her in place as she swiftly moves around the battlegrounds to near her targets. The average amount of force that Madelen can exert in her punches can come in around 200 pounds (90 kilograms/1000 newtons of force) and can lift around 130-160 pounds (58.967-72.5748 kilograms). She leaves her body untrained though the amount of excercise that she and her brother receive from periods of fighting and combat as well as small physical activities that the two do are enough for Madelen to retain her average strength.

Notable Agility: A term which refers to her speed and flexibility as well as reflexes, Madelen's agility is one of the only natural aspects to her body that she has inherited from one of her parents, having had a natural knack for being more agile and quicker than Oskar. This agility is actually what makes up most of her swordsmanship, as her attacks with her blade is mostly made up of quick slashes and stabs that she controls with her senses. She considers the sword as an extension of her arm which gives her more control on how fast and how precise her blade attacks are on the enemy.

Subpar Endurance:
