Myst Kagekyo

Myst Kagekyo (義(ミスト)影虚 Lit.Misuto Kagekyo, meaning One who’s eyes are closed, Silhouette of falsehood)   is one of the many mages of Earth Land. She is currently searching for a guild that will let her join, despite her relative inexperience.

Appearance
Myst has very dark blue, almost black eyes. She has long, dark pink hair that she keeps in a ponytail with a golden ribbon. She typically wears a dark red-purple form-fitting suit that has with a light pink stripe going down the center. The suit is apparently held together by black buckles spaced evenly from a metallic collar. Over the suit, she wears a white robe with a missing torso section. Where the torso would meet the  halves is dark red-purple embroidery. Near her wrists are three metal bands, with the one on her wrists sporting a guard. Around the lower robe is a skirt of metal plates for added protection. The lower robe and metal skirt are connected via a belt buckle.

Personality
Myst appears outwardly to be the pinnacle of calm and level-headed. She simply lets the world come and go around her without letting herself get caught up in the middle. Even in the heat of combat, Myst never wavers in this sense of calm, which is likely nothing more than a coping mechanism to cope with the stress fighting produces.

Myst, despite all appearances, isn’t exactly a saint however. Always one step away from losing her cool, it takes a great amount of focus to avoid lashing out at others. The instant her temper flares, she seems to lose control of herself and wildly seeks to vent her anger on the nearest target, no matter how innocent. Once she calms down however, she actively tries to undo whatever damage she did in the brief time she raged.

Because she, for the most part, ended up rasing herself, she lacks some social graces that most people her age would have common knowledge of. Namely table manners. Set food in front of her, and it is entirely reasonable to estimate an entire plate would be devoured in minutes. Scavenging for food most of her life, it simply became a reflex to eat anything, and in the process her mind never took to manners.

Equipment
Gehenna (Hebrew for Hell or Place of Torment): Gehenna is Myst’s sword. A simple single edge katana with dark purple hilt wrappings. The sword is made of a specially enchanted chrome alloy that can resist even the hottest of fires, which makes it perfect for her magical aptitudes.

Magic and Abilities
Above Average Swordsmanship: Myst is quite skilled with a sword, and isn’t afraid to use it as a primary means to achieve victory in combat. Coupled with her ability to light the sword ablaze with merely a thought on the matter and her sword skills make he a close ranged threat.

Fire Magic (火の魔法 lit. Hi no Mahō): Myst is able to manipulate and create fires for various effects. She can alter the temperature of her flames at will during the creation process, reflected in the color of the fire, ranging from yellow to white, with white being the hottest and most destructive. If the flames are not quickly extinguished, she tends to make good use of them, as using an existing source of fire is far less exhausting than actually creating the fire in the first place.
 * Fire Bullet (ファイア バレット, Faia Baretto): As the name implies, Myst forms a large sphere of flame which she directs at her foe, usually scorching the ground and igniting flammable sources along the way, adding to the spell’s destructive force.
 * Flashing Edge (点滅際, Inkaten Kiwa Lit. Flash Point Edge): Myst engulfs the blade of Gehenna is a torrent of raging flame to augment the damage wrought by the weapon. Although a fearsome weapon, it’s use is not solely to destroy, but it can burn a wound shut to prevent blood loss, an action commonly referred to as cauterizing.

Trivia
Appearance-wise, she is based on Signum from the series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha & Nanoha A.

Myst’s name was taken from Norse mythology, more specifically a Valkyrie.
