Echidna (Re:Zero)

==Summary==
Echidna was one of the seven Witches of Sin, the Witch of Greed.
Over 400 years ago, Echidna was always anxious and worried about everything. The conflict, the people, the world, everything looked small and fragile to her, and so she thought of everything as a baby, that needed to be protected. Echidna thought it was easy to control a world where even the sway of a single arm could bring disaster upon thousands depending on the circumstances, however she decided to extend her arms not for domination but to give aid and refuge. No matter how hard she tried though, she was just a woman, she made lots of mistakes and none of the things she did managed to make things any better, and so she experienced how powerless she was. She became angry at her own powerlessness, her lack of hands to help out, it was never enough, there was always a need for more hands to help others, you can help what's in front of you, but be unable to help those in the distance. She came to the realization that it was impossible to want to help everyone, and also be able to do it, however she did not want to give up. She gained the desire to want to learn about why, and how, and so, lamenting the fact that she may not be able to help everyone, she decided to let certain things play out, all in search for knowledge.

Standard Equipment: 
*The Memories of the World: A white book crafted by Echidna that allows her to draw knowledge from the world's memory. The book doesn't just know the past and present, it also shows the true future. Most people's minds would be fried if they attempted to read it, due to the sheer volume of information flowing into the reader's mind.
*The Meteor Staff: A plain, white staff that releases a large destructive force when supplied with Mana, sending an attack that causes utter decimation, mowing down everything in its path. According to Beatrice, Echidna created this meteor with the primary purpose of pestering the Divine Dragon, Volcanica.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (As the witch of greed, Echidna is obsessed with gaining knowledge and is in possession of The Book of Wisdom which can show her the world's memory, an ordinary persons mind would be fried from the sheer amount of information in it, and Echidna can read it without any issues. Echidna possesses the greatest intellect in the worldVolume 12, Chapter 6, and has conducted numerous experiments such as experiments to create life, which she succeeded inVolume 12, Chapter 2, and has also successfully made a staff capable of harming the dragon, who is superior to base Reinhard van Astrea. Numerous people and nations used to come to her, seeking her knowledge when she was alive. She possesses vast knowledge about the older era, to the point she can boast there is nothing she doesn't know)
Weaknesses: She tires easily when performing physical excercise
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Authority of Greed: Not much is know about this ability, however the Gospels used by Beatrice and Roswaal are stated to be incomplete copies of it. The Gospels are magic tomes guiding the way to the future.
*Jiwald: A Yang Element magic that allows Echidna to fire heat rays from her fingers. It is a heat-wave blade which burns up, burns away, and eliminates anything it touches. Jiwald is a straight-line attack, which makes it seem like it would have the weakness of being easy to avoid however, the heat ray forcefully smashed things at lightspeed, attacking straight at its prey.
*Goa: A blaze of fire that incinerate foes.
*Healing Magic: Echidna summons water mana to heal the wounds of herself and others, however it only affected physical ones.
*Teleportation: Like Beatrice, Echidna was capable of Teleportation Magic, with no one else holding the capabilities to display such type of magic, not even her genius disciple Roswaal.
*Al Shario: Echidna was capable of casting a spell that literally brought the stars down to earth, massacring her opponents. The speed of the stars was described to be almost impossible to evade.
*Soul Transference: Soul Transference was a lost forbidden magic art that allows a person to move their spirit from one body to another by overwriting the soul of the target body with their own. By doing this over and over to extend their life indefinitely, the user can in theory achieve what Beatrice termed as "subjective immortality". However it has one major restriction in that for it to work, the person whose soul is overwritten must be of blood-relation to the caster. The spell was originally created by Echidna to gain immortality, but she could not complete it before her demise and was instead finished to by Roswaal.
