Claudia Letsya

Claudia Letsya is the protagonist of the light novel turned manga series I'm not a Villainess!!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness, Doesn't Mean I'm a Bad Person. She is a girl reincarnated into a world from a novel, where she is loathed and feared for being blessed by the Dark Spirit King. Prior to her reincarnation, she was Japanese girl named Sakura.
== History ==
=== Earth Life ===
Born Sakura originally, she was an unwanted accident of her parents; resulting in a terrible home life for all of them. (Though one would ponder as to why they simply didn't give her up for adoption if they didn't want a child). One night, Sakura was reading the light novel of The Saint Beloved by the Prince, with the heroine Amelia Logan bullied by Claudia Letsya seemingly out of jealousy; Claudia had the Freudian Excuse of being ostracized for having the Dark Spirit King's blessing, while Amelia was practically worshipped as the saintess for having the Light Spirit King's blessing. In the end, Claudia was sent to horrible neighboring kingdom to be a political hostage as the prince's wife; dying on the battlefield of war between the two kingdoms at Amelia's hands. Sakura felt pity for Claudia, wondering if all her cruelty was lashing out. Sakura heard her parents fighting downstairs and went to quiet them down. However, Sakura saw that her father had stabbed her mother to death and was subsequently impaled herself, with the jerk telling Sakura it was her fault for everything.
=== Rebirth ===
As she died, Sakura heard a man's voice say that it found her at last. Upon asking for his name, Sakura was told her didn't have one, so she named him Gerald. Upon coming to, Sakura was shocked to see she was alive but not in a hospital. While it took awhile for Sakura to regain her sense of self, she was surprised by Gerald, who was the Dark Spirit King; he informed her that the she was born as Claudia Letsya, much to her shock. Claudia was the villain of the novel she was the villain of the novel she just read. Accepting she was dead in her old life, Sakura was still a bit disbelieving of how coincidental her rebirth was.
=== The Plan ===
Learning it had been one year already since she was born, Claudia resolved to break her bad ending of being a bully who was married off to an evil neighboring kingdom and slain by the heroine, Amelia Logan.
However, every maid who EVER got hired to look after her was fearful because of her blessing; due to the last person Gerald blessed laying a curse on the kingdom, upon committing suicide in despair at being betrayed after being the hero who helped found it. This didn't help Claudia's self-esteem, as she was nothing but kind and polite to them; they all just quit after making ONE blunder.
== Appearance ==
Due to being blessed by Gerald, the Dark Spirit King, Claudia has pitch black hair and eyes, while having a skin tone vaguely African. Aside from that, she often wears a neutral expression in public; though Claudia is considered cute when she smiles, disarming even those who fear her for her blessing.
Claudia herself matures into a beauty as the story progresses. Graining the additional blessing of Grace, the Light Spirit King, Claudia's appearance changed; with her eyes turning dark sapphire, her hair lightning to brown, and her skin tone looking more Latina.
Prior to reincarnation, she was a teenage girl with light colored hair; though her specific country of origin was never stated.
== Personality ==
As Sakura, she had not much in understanding people beyond the fact her parents resented her existence. Though she was empathetic to those who were also hated.
Upon rebirth, Claudia took her new life by the metaphorical horns and try to live a happy life. Despite being almost isolated, she did not lose her kindness. However, she spends her early childhood being dull and unexpressive, coming off sarcastic to those who were rude to her. Even Gerald is surprised by Claudia's compassion and restraint; noting that if she was any less a person, Claudia would have indeed let her despair make her lash out and hurt others.
Claudia even fell in love with Prince Levi, whom found her attractive in appearance and heart; with Claudia only ever being truthful and not acting like an obsessed fan girl, being what drew Levi to her. Though as she had no past romantic experience as Sakura, Claudia needed her friends help to realize her own feelings.
==Powers and Abilities==
*Impeccable Manners: Claudia is self taught in the ways of noble etiquette, which she is even complimented by her mother as a child, despite said mother's distain of her. Even when she's upset, Claudia maintains a lady-like demeanor and calmly tries diffusing troublesome issues; largely to not look like a villain, but it's become second nature to her.
*Strategizing: While a rookie in tactics, Claudia notably planned a tea party out as if it was a battle; in more serious cases, she can also see domino effects if a situation gets out of hand. Plus once she sees something off that involves her or friends, Claudia is always trying to figure out what is happening in order to counter.

===Dark Spirit King's Blessing===
====Dark Magic====
Unlike most elemental magic, Dark magic is versatile in that it does not do just one thing. 
*Kin of Darkness: Small winged imps who can follow simple directions. They can merge into the shadows of targets she chooses; even severing as radios/walkie-talkies, so she can spy on others.
*Tendrils of Darkness: Claudia can use physical forms of darkness as she wishes.
**Ensnare: Binds targets. In a lesser degree, it can also serve to catch other in a gentler way; as Claudia caught her baby brother Sylphonse, when he fell off the stairs.
**Slice: Cuts targets.
*Teleportation: Claudia can teleport by melding into the shadows; allowing her to move around wherever she pleases.
*Perception Concealment: Claudia can make herself more easily ignored.
===Light Spirit King's Blessing===
====Healing Magic====
The blessing of the Light Spirit King deals with healing and immunity; typically being given to saintesses. Claudia originally only received a small portion of power as an apology from the Spirit King, Grace; after Amelia Logan succumbed to her delusions, and was abandoned by Grace. At the end of the story, Claudia received the full blessing.
*Healing: Claudia can heal wounds and revitalize those who are near death. However, this is taxing to her stamina in the later case; so she has to rest a while to regain strength.
== Trivia ==
* In the manga, Claudia originally turned Caucasian upon Grace bestowing Light magic to her; however, this was revised in the next chapter due to negative backlash for seemingly whitewashing.
*Changes Claudia caused to the timeline:
**Is loved by her brother, while respected by her butler and father; having a good background, unlike the novel Claudia. 
**Attended a society debut party, where she met both princes; being used by Prince Levi to repel other girls (who fear the one blessed by the Dark Spirit King), whom is the first to truly see her as beautiful.
**Saved the lives of Emily Lushan, Grayson and his fiancee Lily, taking away Amelia's fated best friend and making two more good friends.
**Being respected and sympathized with by her fellow students, due to Amelia Logan being a reincarnator that couldn't see that her knowledge of the original novel didn't apply anymore.
***Amelia's inability to accept reality over the novel plot only further broke things from what she intended. Emily ended up married to Edgar, the second prince, instead of Amelia as the novel depicted; along with the Light Spirit King abandoning her. Despite Amelia's heinous actions, Claudia was able to get her pardoned; since Amelia was a victim of manipulation, which Grace could vouch for.
**Willingly joining the war early, using her blessing to detain all enemies alive, while helping the citizens caught in the conflict. This boosts her personal reputation as a pacifist, while making her look like Saint to the knights and public.
**Realized she and Prince Levi were mutually in love, leading to their engagement and her future as queen.
***They are happily married with two children.
**Exposing the criminal group El Scorpio and the evil prince Ronald.
