Vishvalita Sharaksa

"An invulnerable armor is patience."

- Siddhartha Gautama Vishvalita Sharaksa (シャラクサ・ビシュバリータ, Sharakusa Bishubarīta) is a female Mage who serves under the Magic Council as one of their most powerful assets. A stern woman, she stems from the mountain regions of Fiore and served as a nun in one of the temple complexes located near the peak of the tallest mountain, Kabala. Unlike many other Mages, she is very religious and devoted to her peaceful religion. Despite this, Vishvalita is more than willing to harm, even kill, those who threaten said peace. Knowing that she is not considered to be pure as a result of this, she has accepted the fact that she will not ascend to Heaven in accordance to her religion. But her belief in the fact that criminals deserve punishment has caused her to deviate from her faith and instead twist it into a manner where she punishes those who openly defy the common rights all humans share. Her solemn persona and quiet guardian instincts are based on traumatic events which took place in her childhood involving a Dark Mage who decimated her village, whose demise she later became responsible for. After this incident, she wandered up in the mountains, having heard rumors about the temple which was apparently situated there. Frozen and emaciated, she was fortunately found by one of the sherpas living near the complex. Now serving as a nun in the Monastic Order of Bhūmi (十地の修道会, Jū-chi no Shūdō-ai), she served in it until the age of 21 years, when the Demoness Invertia stumbled upon the complex and killed the majority of the order. Mortally wounded, Vishvalita was taken in by the abbess of the order who had managed to fend off the unholy creature. Nurtured and trained to learn the estoeric art known as Personification of Bodhi, Vishvalita ended up becoming a powerful Mage in her own right and eventually left the monastery to explore the world and spread her beliefs. Recruiting many to their fate, the remaining members of the order believes that she is a reincarnation of several different Bodhisattva, religious figures of great importance, and has dubbed her to be an honorary abbess; a title only handed down a few times in the course of history.

As an indirect result, Vishvalita also became famous in the secular world and caught the interest of the Magic Council. Contacted after hunting down a Dark Guild, they wanted to employ her specifically for the purpose of eradicating Dark Guilds which threaten their cause and whose activity was too present. Since this offer mixed quite nicely with her religious goal, she decided to accept the offer and is thus frequently called upon by Council to eradicate Dark Guilds by herself. Because of the power she wields, both through her Magic and the sacred artifacts which she is in the possession of, the chairmen are in fact so confident in her ability that they have assigned her to track down one of the most dangerous Dark Guilds out there, Faux Babylon. However, because it is difficult to find, this mission is more of a side-quest than anything else which she pursues when she has nothing else to do. Often dubbed "a fruitless task" by the members of the council, Vishvalita still desires to relentlessly pursue this goal. This actually has a logical explanation, since the demon Invertia's sister is the master of Faux Babylon and Vishvalita believes that if she finds Maricia, she will also gain knowledge about Invertia's current whereabouts. As a result of this, Vishvalita has repeatedly met Aya Frindra and also shared knowledge about the esoteric guild with her. Occasionally teaming up, their mutual efforts have still been in vain due to the invisibility charm cast on the flying castle. Because of her power, rigid dogmas and overall pious personality, Vishvalita is the main anti-villain who faces Faux Babylon.
