Carissa

==Summary==
Carissa (キャーリサ, Kyārisa) is the middle daughter of Queen Regnant Elizard. Of the three princesses, she possesses the aspect of "military might". Haughty and proud, upon seeing the perceived weakness of the United Kingdom as the world slowly falls into a war between the Roman Catholic Church and Academy City, she launches a coup d'état along with the Knights of England using the Curtana Original. Although she usurps power, she fails to completely stop resistance, leading to the British Halloween. Facing opposition from her younger sister, Villian, her allies and Necessarius, she is later defeated at the Battle of Buckingham Palace.
After her defeat she willingly went into the Tower of London for her crimes, but due to her still being one of UK's strongest magicians she has been temporarily released during times of great need, specifically, she was released during World War III and for the fight against Gremlin.

Weaknesses: Curtana's blessing (both the Original's and the shards') only works inside the UK, though the UK has several flying mobile fortresses that forcefully designate the surrounding area as "UK territory", allowing its use beyond the country's borders; her omnidirectional blast strains Curtana Original; normal human weaknesses; the sword is weakened by the presence of Curtana Second, though not as much as the replica
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Magical Sixth Sense: She can use magic to gain a supernatural sixth sense, allowing her to feel the flow of battle and enemies and enabling her to react faster and perform attacks with higher precision.
*Illusion Magic: When threatening the Knight Leader with shooting dozens of bunker cluster missiles at the forces gathered to defeat her, Carissa also stated she would hide one of the missiles with an illusion so that his Thororm's Formula wouldn't catch it. It can be assumed she is capable of casting an illusion to hide things from plain sight.
*Curtana Original: Curtana Original, also known as the Sword of Mercy, is the 80cm sword that symbolizes the United Kingdom and its royalty. It's a spiritual item that applies the concept of Archangel Michael, the leader of the angels, to the head of state within the United Kingdom. Only a member of the Royal Family can use this blade. The sword is like a conductor’s baton that controls the massive spell put together geographically by the 4 cultures that make up the United Kingdom and grants Carissa the power of an Archangel through the use of Telesma, including increased strength, endurance, speed, and near invulnerability while she's on UK's land. She can also use Curtana Original to empower the Knights of England with Telesma, as they are identified as the army of angels that serves the head of state.
**All Dimensions Severing Spell: This is a spell unique to Curtana that enables the wielder to sever all whole number dimensions, of which 11 are confirmed to exist in Toaru, whether they are lower or higher by swinging the blade, thus cutting anything within a 20 meters rangeToaru Majutsu no Index Volume 18 Chapter 7 Part 5 that's not being empowered by powerful cutting magic that can rival the dimension slashing attack, like Kanzaki's Yuisen, the Curtana Second or Durandal. As a passive effect of this spell, each slash creates dimensional debris. This debris takes the form of a large white object that looks like uncolored plastic, with the shape based on Curtana's swing. The reason the dimensional debris appears as that is because the only cross-section objects that humans can perceive are the ones that can appear in a 3-dimensional world. The debris can be up to 100 meters long and can be used as a shield to block attacks or as a projectile by kicking it or throwing it away. Since the debris is merely the side effect of the spell it's not magical in nature, and thus cannot be negated with anti-magic. However, anti-magic can be used to negate the swing before the debris can be produced, with a time window of 1.25 seconds after the slash. By borrowing a portion of Archangel Michael's power, this spell can allow a qualified user to kill Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass who exists in the Pure World, assuming that one could land a hit.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 4 Part 7
**Omnidirectional Explosion: Instead of using the sword's power to slice through dimensions, Carissa can stab the sword into the ground and change the flow of power of the blade, creating a dome-shaped explosion around her with a radius of 500 meters.Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 18 Chapter 5 Part 10 This is not the proper way to use Curtana Original so it strains the blade. The strain subsides before long, faster if maintenance it's performed, but it's still not an attack that can be used repeatedly, as it could cause the sword to break.
**Ultimate Strike: Before the assault at Buckingham Palace, Knight Leader confessed to Acqua that while he was ultimately unable to combine all of his pattern magic into a sure-fire attack that could not be evaded, blocked, or countered, Carissa could most likely pull it off using Curtana Original. However, the truthfulness of this statement is uncertain, as she hasn't been shown to use any of the patterns.
*Shard of Curtana Second: As a member of the Royal Family, Carissa can use the shards result of the Curtana Second being chipped by the Curtana Original as weapons. The shards can project a sword of light that cuts through dimensions (though this doesn't create dimensional debris as a side-effect like the Curtana Original does, likely because of the difference in power) to slash anything in its path. The shards also empower Carissa in a similar way to the Curtanas, allowing her to fight opponents like the Maiden of Versailles, Kanzaki Kaori or even the incomplete Archangel Gabriel. Carissa can increase the length of the swords of light, reaching over 1500 meters. Carissa initially carried 13 of these shards, though one of them was destroyed by Gabriel, and has been shown to be able to dual-wield them.
