Lycoris Amaryla

Lycororis Amaryla is the head scientist at the Magical Girl Society. She was the first of the organization's leaders to appear on screen, first making herself known in the DBA Downtime "Bloodstone Arcade Expedition". She appears to have a specialization in the study of magical artifacts, though she has shown interest in some individuals' epithetical abilities as well. She can often times come off as abrasive and some have gone so far as to call her a little "sus".
==Powers==
Lycoris's abilities were first displayed in episode 155. While she primarily uses her epithetical abilities, she also has a skill set based around her magical girl contract. 
Her epithet allows her to manipulate the rate of success and failure, based around the episode's roll averages, as well as the current overall recorded roll averages. For practical purposes, this is done using James's roll calculation Google SheetJames's Roll Calculation chart can be found here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HGiA0hqofd6Ez_JxVuyrt4IGeSdcG_9HUZ9zOsaPMQE/edit?usp=sharing. Due to this focus on changing rolls to make them better or worse, her abilities are more support based.
To access her magical girl abilities, Lycoris needs to enter her "Blood Pact Form". This form has a heavy upkeep cost and when she is brought to 1/4 of her maximum health while in this form she loses control, attacking all individuals on the field, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Her magic, as the name would suggest, is blood based, creating an orbital ring of her own blood around her that also picks up blood and viscera from those she attacks.

===Downtime: Bloodstone Arcade Expedition===
Lycoris made her first on screen appearance during this short story. She had arrived at DBA to investigate some of the contestants and to do some general information gathering. She talked with a few of the contestants, including Violet Vos, who provided her some information on Cadence Lilt's ring. 
===Episode 141===
Lycoris was shown briefly in the background, enjoying the event taking place at Grimm's Library.
===Episode 147===
Lycoris was seen briefly in the crowd at the end of the episode, participating in the festivities. This was also the first time she was shown with her assistant Vanilla Folia. 
===Episode 148===
As the episode focused on a magical girl convention ran by the Magical Girl Society, Lycoris appeared a few times in this episode. She was first seen watching Lotus's presentation in one of the conference rooms. She later appeared again after Petunia gathered her and the rest of the leaders to give their speech. Despite the interruption from Abyssia, Lycoris did not react strongly one way or the other, letting the other organization leaders deal with the aftermath. 
=== Downtime: The Dawnhart Special ===
While Lycoris herself did not appear in this episode, she was mentioned by Vanilla. When Gwydion Dawnhart mentioned that Lycoris is a bit of "an asshole", Vanilla insisted that she's cool. 
===Episode 155===
Lycoris participated in Aeron Noumi and Chip Ponere's fighting tournament. Due to her high level, she was in the portion of the arena with Adam, The Devil, and Miffle Ragbottoms. She was fairly quickly taken out. She was knocked out by an attack from The Devil and then sent out of bounds by him one round later, placing in 17th place in the 18 player tournament. 
===Episode 156===
Lyrocis requested a DBA party to help her and the rest of the Magical Girl Society's research department as they were short staffed with Vanilla out on leave. She gave a very "good" power point presentation to the party about the artifact she was having them study, however, shortly after giving them the artifact, it activated, turning everyone in the city into catgirls/boys/enbies. She didn't notice this change until she exited her office to investigate what the commotion was about. After providing the party what little information she had, she sent the party off to find Vanilla, who she believed would have more information on the whereabouts of the artifact's missing counterpart. 
Said counterpart, as it turned out, had been taken by her son, Aurea, who wanted to help his mother with her research since she had been so busy. When confronted by Astra about how her son was responsible for any casualties caused by "Catpocolypse", Lycoris took full responsibility for it. She stated that she believes that when a child causes harm, it is the fault of the parent for not preventing it.
=== Episode 176 ===
Lycoris assisted her MGS companions in setting up the surprise birthday party for Peony. When Pandora Primrose and her pet dragon crashed into the park, Lycoris quickly switched into her magical girl form before the camera cut away. She was later seen passed out on a park bench, exhausted from whatever horrors she had experienced in her struggle against them.
=== Episode 190 ===
Lycoris once again made a brief appearance in the library.
