Kara Nilson

"Of bloody glory, Of glowing light, Of wings outstretched to the heavens— You are an angel no more."

Kára (カーラ, Kaara) is a former Valkyrie, turned human once more after her powers were stripped by a Take Over. Currently operating as Kara Nilson (カーラ•ニルソン, Kaara Niruson), she seeks to regain her status as a Valkyrie, though her mind is clouded by the desire for vengence.

Pain Tithe
Pain Tithe (痛み什一, Itami Juuichi) is one of the ability Kára developed alongside Sword Magic and Pain Magic after becoming human. Unlike other human mages, Pain Tithe isn't a magic itself and in fact is considered a Magic Skill (内魔導, Uchimadō) that Kára uses to conjure a variety of spells. More specifically, Pain Tithe is the manipulation of the Payment, giving Kára the ability to substitute magic power with pain to cast spells. Instead of channeling and exerting magic power to cast spells, by using Pain Tithe, Kára is able to personify and transform her physical and emotional pain into energy to create Magic. Her grief, anger, shame, and vehemence all are considered "emotional pain" and thus can also be offered as Payment, however, it is not as effective as her physical pain. Through Pain Tithe, Kára has learned a variety of spells, most of which are dark or twisted imitations of her former abilities as an angel.
