Pythie Frederica

==Summary==
Pythie Frederica is a veteran magical girl, calculative, shrewd, unconcerned with morals, curious, and looking for excitement in life. Resulting from her magic, she has an unhealthy and perverse obsession with hair, to the point of making an enormous collection of thousands of hair strings of different people. Originally fascinated over her own capabilities as a magical girl, she grew tired of her potential, and realizing her heart is rotten, decided to seek her ideal magical girl, even if it meant her becoming a villain. Her search led her to Cranberry, for whom her interest grew, and made her want to try the same kind of bloody and violent exams she had been creating. 
Following her death, Frederica's interest turned to Snow White, the final survivor and the last of "Cranberry's Children", and her change in character, personality and objectives from the events she witnessed, making her decide to personally train her by giving her long-distance advice, while convincing Ripple to train Snow White in combat. Her identity as a Cranberry supporter was uncovered by Snow White's mind reading, and she was promptly arrested by her and Ripple. She's later freed from prison by her favorite student, Tot Pop, and herself frees Pukin and Sonia Bean with the objective to arrest a criminal causing problems for the Antiestablishment factions backing Tot Pop.
Her ultimate goal is for the Magical Kingdom to be either reformed or destroyed, which she failed in the past and became a big reason she wanted to find an ideal magical girl who would do it for her.

Intelligence: Genius. Pythie is one of the smartest characters in the series, nearly on par with Pfle. After she found out about Cranberry's "exams", she decided to replicate them with a similar format, death and blood included; two of her students include Tot Pop and Keek. She was never found for years, until Snow White uncovered her truth and arrested her. Pythie tends to think several steps ahead.
After she broke out of prison with the help of Tot Pop's antiestablishment faction, she immediately caught on the suspiciousness of the lack of guards and concluded the true purpose behind the prison break and why anyone would want her freed. Aware that her every move was likely monitored, she went along with the antiestablishment faction's objective of capturing a vicious criminal causing trouble, but she freed Pukin and Sonia Bean - two infamous criminals - for a short-term additional firepower on her side and as a means of leverage against her manipulators. She manipulated the criminal duo into a situation where they would die, tricked Pukin at the perfect timing in which she was wounded so she couldn't chase after her, tricked Mana into a deal that prevented the Inspection Department from chasing after her for several months, and she even took advantage of a tiny loophole in Weddin's magic - which she was affected by - to escape its control and get rid of Weddin herself.During the events of JOKERS, Pythie perfectly disguised Ripple into a different person, Stanczyka, and had her come in contact with the Artificial Magical Girl project, so she could examine the situation. She successfully fooled every single magical girl (including Snow White) about Stanczyka's constitution and to conceal her identity: she substituted Ripple's missing arm with her own arm through her crystal ball, to make it appear as if Stanczyka had two arms... and she did so for multiple hours. At around the same time, and while it's unclear how she achieved the position, Pythie also became a high-ranking member of the Caspar faction, who support one of the Three Sages, the highest authority within the Magical Kingdom. During the events of ACES and QUEENS, Pythie played an indirect but significant role in the war between the Osk and Puk factions, which had the end-result of weakening them both, leaving free room for the Caspar faction to assert its influence.Light Novel, Volume 8Light Novel, Volume 11
In part thanks to her affiliation with Cranberry, Pythie Frederica is vicious, tactical, can manipulate others through any means (praise, fear, admiration, money, etc.), and has no qualms about using any methods necessary to survive, including using young children as human shields or killing civilians for the sake of chaos.
Feats: When she allied with the Limited's survivors to defeat Pukin and Rain Pow and escape the barrier surrounding them, she was restricted from lies and aggressive actions by Weddin's magic and forced by agreement to help them. Despite that, she still manipulated the situation from within the rules of Weddin's contract to make it so they would all most likely die and she survivesLight Novel, Volume 6.
Weaknesses: None of the regular human weaknesses. If she becomes unconscious, she turns back into a human and loses all the magical girl advantages.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Crystal Ball: Pythie Frederica's magic allows her to use her crystal ball to view the surroundings of anyone she desires as long as she has a strand of their hair in her possession. At her prime, Frederica had a collection of thousands of hairs from different people, whether humans, mages, or magical girls to spy on them. Not limited to clairvoyance, she can also interact with anyone reflected in her crystal ball: she can insert her hand in it, and it will appear out of thin air above the person reflected; she can grab, punch, stab, pull, push, or do any other possible action with one hand. By doing so, she can pull the people reflected to where she is through her crystal ball, or she can take people around her inside it to place them to the location the ball reflects; she can even place herself inside a reflected location. Her magic allows her to bypass any barriers or prison, and has no range limit: no matter where a person is, even in another world or at the far ends of the galaxy, as long as she has their hair, she can reflect them. Reflections provide image, but no sound.
