Spade Echo (AWverse)

**Spade Echo** is the famous phantom thief who goes after precious gems. She always escaped from the knights no matter how prepared they were and would give out coded messages about her plans for her heist.

## Appearance

Spade Echo is a petite girl with pink hair and mint-colored eyes. She wears a frilly white dress with pink patterns and a small black hat with bunny ears.

## Personality

Spade Echo is very confident in her skills as a phantom thief. She takes pride in her accomplishments of stealing a precious gem while making a fool of her opponents.

She also has a sense of honor. Spade Echo prefers it if no one would get hurt in her heists and is willing to help out people who are in danger.

## History

### Spade Echo Arc

Spade Echo sent a notice to the 13th unit of the Westa Knight Order declaring she would steal the White Star.

On Artix 1, she arrived on top of the Westa Monument Tower as she said she would in her coded message. There, she met Amelia Watson and Mikage Kamishiro.

Spade Echo took out a Communicator and broadcasted her location to all of the knights which confused Amelia. When Noel Shirogane, Temma Kishido, Reagan Liam, and the other knights arrived on the scene, she dropped a crystal that emitted a bright flash of light.

When the light died down, Spade Echo disappeared and none of the Floaters could sense her flying in the sky. In reality, she didn’t fly away, but instead, she disguised as a knight and then slipped away while they were confused.

On Artix 6, the White Star was going to be auctioned. Spade Echo disguised as Temma and stole the White Star after the lights in the auction hall turned off. Amelia managed to see through her disguise but she managed to get away by tricking her with a prerecorded message.

### Spade Echo Returns Arc

Spade Echo was targeting another gem called the Red Rose in Pavolian, the capital city of the Peafowl Kingdom. As usual, she sent a coded message about her heist.

She disguised as a Peafowl Knight and swiped the gem while the room’s lights were destroyed. Spade Echo also set up a dummy that would fly away in a random direction and make the distracted knights do a pointless chase as she would slip away.

However, Amelia figured out the second meaning of her code and used the Mirage Mirror’s abilities against her. Just when she was cornered, the Unkindness attacked which turned her heist into a chaotic one.

Spade Echo was quietly observing the fight between the knights and the Unkindness until Mikage fell from the tower. She jumped off and rescued him. But thanks to being near Mikage, she was caught up in a teleportation spell.

Thanks to the Wings of Space, she messed up the teleportation and the two of them were sent to a different place. Spade Echo then accompanied Mikage until he was safe.

She revealed that the reason why she was a phantom thief was because she was trying to find the Alexandrite, a gem that could grant wishes. Also, she wanted to find her friend who resembled Mikage.

Amelia let Spade Echo go as thanks for saving Mikage but she had to return the Red Rose. Spade Echo willingly complied and flew away.

## Equipment

**Mirage Mirror:** An ancient artifact that can make a person’s face unrecognizable and forgettable while it’s activated. All they can remember about the user is a blurry face. It’s also powerful enough to trick even modern technology. Cameras cannot record the user’s face and would only show a blur instead.

**Wings of Space:** Wing-like artifacts that can make a person fly using minimal mana. It can mess up teleportation spells too.

**Dangerous Gambit:** Exploding cards.

## Powers and Abilities

**High Intellect:** Spade Echo can create riddles which stumped even the Peafowl Kingdom’s top scholars. She can also make plans for her heist which would almost always succeed.

**Disguise Expert:** Spade Echo can disguise herself using minimal magic. Her disguises are well-done since anyone can be fooled by it.

**Magicless Tricks:** Spade Echo doesn’t rely on magic since most of her targets are placed in areas with anti-magic barriers. That’s why she had to be ingenious and think of tricks that don’t use magic.

## Quotes

* (To Amelia)*“Miss detective, did you know? A thief is a creative artist who takes her prey in style. But a detective is nothing more than a critic who follows our footsteps.”*
* (To the Westa Knight Order and Amelia)*“Hello hello, Westa Knight Order. Such a shame that you couldn’t stop me. And is the detective there? You didn’t even come close to catching me unlike last time. Maybe you were just lucky and it wasn’t your skill.”*
* (Written to Amelia) *So close! You should have trusted your deduction instead of a prerecorded message!  - Spade Echo*
* (To Mikage) *“Like it? I call it “Dangerous Gambit.” I don’t normally use it when I’m on a heist since explosions are not that elegant. But a thief must always be prepared and I have to be able to defend myself.”*
* (To Mikage) *“I’m looking for a rare gem called the Alexandrite. It is said to be able to grant a wish of a person once a certain comet passes through. One way to find out if a gem is the Alexandrite was to put your mana on it. If it makes a pure white light, then it is the Alexandrite.”*
