Pauline Phospora

Pauline Phospora (ポーリーンリン, Pooriin Rin) is a young mage that hails from Louen, Edolas, and a Fourth Generation Dragon Slayer of the poison variety. Before arriving in Earth Land by currently unknown means, she operated as a scientist that worked specifically in the field of toxicology. After studying the adverse effects that various types of poisons had on particular organisms Pauline grew quite fascinated with these toxins, and wished to gain a better understanding of it with the possibility of magic. However, Pauline knew that various events that happened years prior obviously disabled her to use magic of any type; Pauline then soon discovered the existence of a parallel universe known as Earth Land and the fact that it had a limitless supply of ethernano and magical energy. Through unknown means, Pauline traveled to Earth Land but quickly found out that she still was unable to use magic because of her lack of a magical core; she decided to substitute her lack of internal magic with a piece of magical armor that she acquired that she dubbed Böse (ボーズ, Boozu).

When Pauline did arrive on Earth Land, she appeared inside of the Kingdom of Daedalus, where she quickly gained the status of Grand Duchess after earning a name for herself as an ambassador for foreign countries. The king himself invited Pauline to be the Grand Duchess because he believed her influential personality would be very beneficial to Daedalus's economy and trade.

Appearance
Pauline is often described as a very beautiful and bodacious woman, who is often seen as extremely appealing to strangers. Her captivating appearance is considered to be one of the most noticeable things about her, and one of the many traits —physical or otherwise— that has become a trademark for her as an overall person. It should be noted that a spectacular aspect of Pauline's beauty is what some described to be "completely effortless", as Pauline herself admits that she doesn't have a true beauty routine as others do, hinting at the fact that her appearance comes completely naturally and does not need to be aided by cosmetic products such as makeup or similar commodities.

Pauline is has a unique stature that shows her rather compact build, standing at a petite 5'2" and weighing a total of 154 pounds. Her "stout" figure has been described as curvy, and she has a rather attractive lower body including thighs and behind; these natural features are often seen as attractive and have been the subject of many double-takes whenever Pauline passes by. Her overall body is described to have an hourglass figure with a small waist and "exaggerated" hips and breasts, yet another characteristic that has made her become known as an appealing woman. Despite some of her attributes, it cannot be stressed that Pauline has displayed on multiple occasions her mass amounts of strength which suggests that while it may not appear so, Pauline possesses some sort of muscle accumulation that would allow her to carry out such feats. Another physical trait that Pauline possesses is her pearly white skin, that has an apparent absence of any blemishes like scars or acne throughout her entire body and has a healthy natural sheen to it.

Pauline has an alluring heart-shaped face, although the structure of it isn't very well defined because of the large amounts of "pinchable" baby fat that she never seems to get rid of, much to her dislike. She also has a delicate and rounded button nose as well small yet plump lips that subtly jut outwards from her face, effectively simulating a pouting action that adds to her "cuteness" as some would say. She has prominent almond-shaped eyes that have an exotic lime green coloration to them, a rather spectacular trait that Pauline herself claims as hereditary, although this is unconfirmed. She also possesses finely-plucked arched eyebrows that rest delicately over her eyes in an undisturbed manner and dark sangria-colored hair that is done in an elegant and wavy updo that sometimes is made so her bangs cover her forehead. Regarding her attire, Pauline likes to wear what she claims to be "modern clothing" and refuses to put anything that was made over a year ago for unknown reasons. These outfits are known to be spontaneous and unpredictable, although they all tend to have bright colors and flashy accessories, presumably so she can gain attention from others. Pauline favors one particular outfit in general, which consists of light pink cashmere turtleneck sweater that is worn under a white leather cape buttoned with golden pins around her shoulders. She also wears a very high-waisted white leather pencil skirt with golden metal decor on the thighs and knee-high white boots with golden diamonds on the top midfoot and ties her outfit together with light pink cateye glasses.

Personality
If someone were to describe Pauline, it wouldn't be uncommon for them to use words such as "excitable" and "fun-loving" among various others. Pauline is known for her silly and curious nature at any place and any time, even in the midst of battle she displays characteristics that can be tied to those comparable to a child's. Pauline commits to immature antics and games that often cause some to think that she is somewhat ditzy and clueless, which is actually true up to an extent. Although, Pauline has been shown to be surprisingly clever in various situations and has proven to be useful in most things that regard mathematics or science, both of which are fields of study that she seems to be quite fond of and excel at. Almost always in a good mood, Pauline has an exuberant nature that is known to rub off on those around her, even those that are normally serious or mature in all situations; this is one of the many reasons that some people prefer to have Pauline with them at certain times, as her uplifting capabilities are definite to lighten every situation.

As briefly mentioned before, Pauline can actually be a rather intelligent individual and has displayed her ability to be extremely useful in some situations. In particular, the young woman seems to be extremely knowledgeable in various fields of science that may be an extension of her previous toxicology studies; when the occasion arises that Pauline's intelligence does come in handy, she will often be extremely proud of herself for figuring out a solution to a problem. While some may see this as cocky, Pauline insists that she simply "needs to get a moment to appreciate herself" rather than being pretentious and gets hurt if anyone tries to insist on any other intention.

Physical

 * Master Swordswoman:
 * Fencing:
 * Enhanced Speed: Pauline is no doubt one of the fastest mages that you may encounter, and the speeds that she reaches are known to shock those who witness them, especially if the person knows Pauline and her common traits beforehand.Pauline is very able to operate her nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems in perfect synchronization which allows her to put extreme amounts of stress on her muscles and bones without them being in any sort of harm and at the same time controlling her pain receptors to disallow excess amounts of pain in which she could not handle. With this ability in mind it should also be known that the young mage is very proficient in exceeding speeds of 30 miles per hour, well above the well-trained athletes and the likes and above the speed limit for most roads. This talent allows Pauline to effectively dodge almost every attack that is thrown towards her, as well as allowing her to gain leverage on unsuspecting opponents when she appears towards them in a near instant. In the case that Pauline lunges towards her opponent, she can place all of her weight on her heel as she is pushing off of the ground to create speeds exceeding her usual 80 mph, but it would be the case that this is only for a short-distance movement as opposed to the constant upkeep that is maintained with her average speed.
 * Superior Intellect: Almost certainly stemming from Pauline's constant and sometimes even frivolous reading habits, the young girl has a measured IQ of approximately 140, which is known to be vastly high and often exceeds even the most intensely trained scientists and doctors. Pauline is very well versed in various educational fields that include reading, mathematics and multiple science fields including medicine and chemistry, all of which aid her in many situations both inside and outside of battle rather suprisingly. However, all of these capabilities pale in comparison to Pauline's abilities to read faces and bodily movements almost to the point where it seems that she is peering directly into someone's mind, using this ability to determine the enemies next attack and counter it almost as soon as they cast it, rendering it null. Pauline can often determine the opponents fighting styles and magical capabilities simply by seeing them utilize only once, and is then prone to making an entire formula in her head that covers the entirety of her enemy's fighting styles while maximizing her own at the same time.
 * Immense Strength: Again due to her somewhat dangerous past, Pauline seems to have gained large amounts of physical power as a result. This strength seems to be rather subservient unless Pauline is inside of battle, in which her physical abilities seem to take a drastic u-turn for the better. While inside of a combative area Pauline seems to have better control of her muscle mass and regulates how much pressure she puts on each area, which effectively allows her to divvy out the potential pain that could be caused from exhausting them, which in short makes her capable of lasting longer in combat. While regulating her strength Pauline has displayed surprising feats of strength that would normally only be seen that work out and push their limits every day, even though she does not; these capabilities stem from the ability to lift things that exceed 300 pounds and throw things that are well over 150. However, these pale in comparison to her ability to throw extremely heavy punches to her enemy that can directly knock them off of their feet.
 * Advanced Agility: Pauline has displayed on various occassions her natural talent of being a very talented gymnast and otherwise acrobat, as shown by the many evasive techniques and maneuvers that give her the ability to avoid many of the attacks thrown at her. These maneuvers range greatly in terms of both difficulty and usefulness, but Pauline has exhibited the potential to do all of them with relative ease; these skills range from backwards kick-flips to simple evasive sliding. Along with these skills comes the seemingly natural flexibility that Pauline possesses, that makes her seem to contort her body in impossible ways similar to a doll and the likes. This afore-mentioned skill gives Pauline the aptness to again avoid attacks, as well as reach places that others could not normally reach which again can give her the upper-hand on the enemy when she ambushes them from above, or another peculiar place that she would not be suspected. Actions like this are done when Pauline finds any leverage points by analyzing her surroundings, so she can then use her flexibility and general stability to climb upwards.

Magical
Plague Dragon Slayer Magic (毒の滅竜魔法 Doku no Metsuryū Mahō) is a Caster Magic, Lost Magic, a Slayer Magic, and finally as well as most obviously, a type of Dragon Slayer Magic that grants the user the ability to generate, manipulate, and consume the element which is known as poison, which are substances that cause disturbances in organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when an organism absorbs a sufficient quantity. A Dragon is to be the embodiment of ultimate power- and as such, they are revered and feared by all who know of their existence. More importantly, as "ultimate power made physical", they would need an "ultimate magic" to suit their very nature as power manifested in the mortal plane of existence; something that would be far above most magicians in the era that they made their mark on mankind. They could be thought of as "Elemental Magic made manifest", though while a personification of the strongest power imaginable; the chains known as a "mortal body" do not hinder their performance in battle in the slightest. The dragon who passed on this magic to the user actually created a magical change in how the body's Magic Origin functioned, therefore causing their body to possess the magical powers of a Dragon - otherwise known as Dragon Slayer Magic. Continuing with this process, the user's magical power acts alongside the energy of the body in order to catalyze a variety of bodily processes when younger, therefore allowing the morphing of their physiology to a point where the user has adopted some physical traits, as well as the element, from the said Dragon. In the case of a user of Plague Dragon Slayer Magic, the poison-aligned dragon would grant them the ability to manipulate, generate, and absorb all sorts of poisons in a similar manner to itself; however, from what is known, all forms of poison-based dragons were wiped out during the Dragon Civil War, meaning that in order to harness the power of Plague Dragon Slayer Magic, requires a Ryū no Lacrima (竜の魔水晶リュウ・ノー・ラクリマ, Ryū no Rakurima lit. Magic Crystal of Dragons); an rare and extremely expensive Lacrima which is a magic crystalline substance found in both Earth Land and Edolas that gives individuals artificial Dragon Slayer Magic to be implanted within their body, thus making any potential inheritor a Second Generation Dragon Slayer Magic (二世滅竜魔法, Nisei Metsuryū Mahō) by default. In the case of the Plague Dragon Slayer Magic when used by a dragon, the dragon of poison takes blatant advantage of the fact that their mortality and physical form enables them to utilize their unique draconic Magic Origin alongside the perks that their biology normally gives them; the dragon's biological structure has been perfectly attuned to how their Factor of the Dragon functions; more specifically, since with every breath, the evil dragon generates energy independent from their body; which, through application of magical manipulation, grants this existence the ability to reinforce the sheer power of their own body with the demonic dragon's signature element - in regards to the Plague Dragon, this results in them utilizing their magical energy in order to bestow upon their energies a rather sinister set of traits, causing it to take upon a high amount of toxicity as it transforms its state of existence into a scarlet and raven liquid form; though this can also change into gaseous state when the caster deems it suitable. Effectively, this grants the wielder of Plague Dragon Slayer Magic the ability to manipulate, modify, consume, and generate from their body poisonous materials to their fullest extent- the user of Plague Dragon Slayer Magic possesses an absolute dominance over the broad concept known as "poison", which are substances that cause disturbances in organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when an organism absorbs a sufficient quantity, and everything related to it. As a result of the magic's mechanics, no matter it is hewn from a dragon or Dragon Slayer, the user of Plague Dragon Slayer Magic can transform their body with features of poison, utilizing both offensive and defensive styles, resulting in lungs capable of spewing poison, scales that grant protection against hazardous materials, and nails that are tipped with poison; effectively giving the user the ability to use anything considered a "poison" in any manner that they wish alongside their body in combat, transforming their very form into a make-shift weapon unique to themselves, thus greatly increasing the damage of their blows in all ranges- though close-combat is where the Dragon Slayer Magic usually shines; the user is commonly seen producing poison from their very existence, before shaping it mentally and setting it upon their enemies to inflict maximum damage with ease.

The poison which is released by Plague Dragon Slayer Magic starts off by slowly stealing the movement from the victims' body away; decaying all that it touches; however, the poison can also act after a given amount of time. When an opponent is poisoned by this magic, their Magic Origin will take a sharp nosedive in effectiveness and potency- their Magic Origin's ability to absorb eternano from the atmosphere will be lessened, as the poison begins to affect their body, with their bloodstream and several organs, including said origin, beginning to malfunction. In any case, the draconic poison's corrosive nature has some rather complicated math behind it (hooray for math); the target, upon being poisoned, will receive damage and lose one sixteenth of their stamina as well- this will increase by yet another sixteenth every five minutes or if the poison lands another successful attack. If the target is struck with another energy draining ability, then the damage inflicted by the Plague Dragon Slayer Magic will increase by one eighth in addition to the amount siphoned. If the target heals, thus removing the poison from their body, and is unfortunate enough to get poisoned by this form of Dragon Slayer Magic once more, the damage taken will carry on from where it was before the target healed; after an amount of time, Plague Dragon Slayer Magic's poison will kill the opponent, in some cases, one touch from Plague Dragon Slayer Magic will decay and utterly destroy everything in the caster's path. Unlike the superficial poisons of any other poison-based skills, the poison generated by Plague Dragon Slayer Magic is extremely efficient, acting as a fast-acting poison which is capable of inflicting many painful effects upon the victim, such as intense headaches, nausea, fever, sickness, muscle spasms, and the ultimate deterioration of the foe's bodily functions; meaning that if one of the dragon's attacks doesn't kill the foe, the effects would, as their body was violently dismantled, piece by piece, causing the foe to suffer an agonizing death; and then their corpse would be disintegrated by the ferocity that the poison possessed. With Plague Dragon Slayer Magic, the caster has absolute dominance over anything that could be considered poisonous, including every type of poison to ever exist- the caster is also capable of changing the materials' elemental makeup- as long as it has some traces of poison held within it, the possibilities are endless, both in what the caster is capable of, and how much pain their enemies will be in as they let their magic run wild upon them.
 * Dragongem Booster (四世竜の鎧活性化, Doragonjemu Būsutā lit. Armour Activation of the Fourth Era Dragon) is a type of Subspecies Magic of Dragon Slayer Magic, which is available only for those Dragon Slayers, who use their Magic from Dragon Slayer Equipment i.e. Fourth-Generation Dragon Slayers. Eventually, Dragongem Booster allows its users to become one step closer to be like Dragon Slayers of previous generations, in order to substitute the lack of missed features of its predecessors. Fourth Generation of Dragon Slayers uses Dragon Slayer Equipment (四世竜の滅鎧, Doragon Sureiyā Ikuippumento lit. Destroying Armour of Fourth Era Dragon, shortened to DSE) in order to employ their Dragon Slayer Magic. Because they utilize it like a Holder Magic, they do not possess all traits of natural Dragon Slayer like consuming the element, which they are using and the ability of achieving and/or activating the Dragon Force state. So, in order to become on the same level with predecessors or even stronger than they in future, there was created a special power-up system for such equipment, which was later called as Dragongem Booster. With the creation of such bolstering system, Fourth Generation of Dragon Slayers were again called as New-Style or even Future-Style Generation, just as Second Generation of Dragon Slayers was called once. So, how Dragongem Booster actually works? For special purposes to overcome all weaknesses and disadvantages of DSE, the armour of Fourth-Generation Dragon Slayer is outfitted with numerous Lacrimas embedded within it, which are all a unique type of Lacrima known as Absorb Lacrima (気吸・魔水晶, Abusōbu Rakurima lit. Energy Absorbing Magic Crystal), that are specifically forged so they can absorb certain types of Magic and/or kinetic energy, depending on the situation. Absorb Lacrima is tailored to consume elemental magic and energies related to the element which Dragon Slayer harnesses. The way that Absorb Lacrima work is quite simple - when the elements and associated traits draw near the user, the Lacrima works as a vacuum due to being made out of a magic-absorbing material, sucking the elements into the spheres and storing them within the Lacrima. Once the elements have been absorbed, the user is capable of harnessing them in any way that they wish, whether for offense, defense, or even to boost their physical performance in close combat. Once the Absorb Lacrimas absorbed (ha ha, funny) enough of the element, Dragon Slayer can activate his power-up system. To activate it, the user must be concentrated on their equipment, especially on the main Lacrima of their armour and/or weapon. After that, they must release their own Magic Power into it and make an incantation, which serves as a special command to bring the system up to its activation. When all preparations are done, Absorb Lacrima begin to rapidly glow brightly in specific colours of its element, after what, the body of the user attain a special, dragon-like appearance due to the influence of their DSE.

Trivia

 * Pauline's last name, Phospora, is derived from the word "Phosphorus". This was chosen because of the fact that white phosphorus is toxic, which denotes to Pauline's magic
 * Pauline's appearance is based off of Wicke of the Pokémon franchise, particularly Pokémon: Sun & Moon
 * One of her aliases, Poisonetta (ポインセチア, Poinsechia), is a pun on the flower poinsettia that hints at both her beauty and her toxic magic; while poinsettia isn't a harmful plant it appears reminiscent of the word "poison" when written and as such the author thought it would be suitable.
 * The entirety of the Plague Dragon Slayer Magic was written by HB, so hats off to him for a job well done; the author simply changed "poison" to "plague", as she thought it was more suitable for Pauline's usage of the magic
