Erin Blackwood

Erin Blackwood (ブラックウッドエリン Burakkuuddo Erin) is a Mage of the all-female guild Mermaid Heel. She learns Animated Shadow Magic from her father, who was a Dark Mage, and is known as the "Silent Shadow" because of her silent approach towards her opponents and the use of her magic.

Appearance
Erin is a slender girl with a curvaceous figure and has light skin. She has light blue hair that reaches down her upper back and ties the right side of her hair into a side ponytail, and has light blue eyes. She wears a plaid scarf, knee high brown boots, dark blue coat and gloves.

She is seen in many other outfits, all dark blue in color, but is never seen without her plaid scarf. When Erin needs to show her identification of her guild, she simply reveals the guild mark on her neck without removing the scarf.

Personality
Erin is a polite and friendly girl. She is usually seen with her best friend, Flonne, and her shadow companion, Jinx. Erin appears dainty and sweet on the outside, but can be ferocious and threatening when she wants to. Most of the time she is shown to be a ditz and airhead. She is also rather quiet, often not speaking unless spoken to.

Magic and Abilities
Shadow Magic (陰魔法 Kage Mahō): Erin learned Shadow Magic from her father, a former Dark Mage, and uses Magic to bend her shadow to any form to suit her needs, and can also merge with her shadow and the shadow of others, which provides a stealthy method of transportation.
 * Animated Shadow: Erin's most used technique. She is able to bring her shadow and the shadow of others to life and fight for her. Although it is an advantageous skill, if the shadow gets hurt then it also affects the person. Erin's shadow is the only one who is able to change shape and size, which she uses as a way of picture communication.
 * Shadow Form: Erin is able to transform her body into a shadow and move around surfaces.
 * Guard Shadow: Erin uses her shadow to create a dome to use as defense from attacks.
 * Shadow Hand: Erin shapes her shadow into a hand that she can use to punch, pull, or grab an opponent.

Trivia

 * Erin has Arsonphobia, the fear of fire.
 * She likes chocolate.
 * Erin usually communicates via shadow pictures.
