## Profile

### Background

Born into an ordinary mage family, **Yuuki Shirota** grew up like a flower in a glasshouse. Loved by all her neighbors, relatives, and family. Her dad works in a talisman factory, and her mom works in a Magic Toolshop. Usually, no one would remember a mage family like that. Little Yuuki, who doesn't know anything, always admires her prodigal sister who sometimes shows her cool tricks with her magic. Looking at her with glowy eyes, Yuuki always imagines herself helping people with her genius sister. With that motivation, Yuuki becomes a mage in her middle school. Thinking that it wasn't enough, she also deep learning everything that may be helpful for her *thema.*

After her sister graduated from middle school with flying colors, she immediately applied to Royal Biblia Academy in hope that she can help her mage family name be remembered in history. With full support from their parents, Yuuki's sister gains confidence in applying for scholarships. With her sister that looks like making a path for her. Yuuki learns everything by using her sister as an example. Yuuki believes that everything would be okay as long as she follows her miracle sister's path.

Sadly, that motivation doesn't last long. The older sister that she always admires comes back from the academy in a deprived state. In one day, the ordinary mages family turns into a chaotic state. School officials said that her sister's getting involved with a rare case of magic addiction. They believe that she intentionally created those magic herself after some certain Grimoire teaches her "A way to attain happiness". Overwhelmed by the truth, their family has fallen into a panic state. Especially Yuuki, who loves her sister with her whole heart. Her beloved prodigal sister that she always admires somehow has fallen into a depraved state that is different from her usual. The silk soft hair shifted into disorganized hair, her wonderful shiny eyes altered into dead-like fish eyes, even her beautiful smile that Yuuki cherishes is gone without a trace. The only thing that her sister shows in her face now is a distorted-looking smile followed by a small crazed laugh.

Plummeted in eyes of disbelief, Yuuki that always thinks that her sister is perfect is now nowhere to be seen. She despises the magic that bound her in those deprived states. Especially, the fact the magic her sister created is too perfect to the point that it can self-sustain itself. Even if they somehow managed to cancel the magic, her sister who was already addicted to that magic would just use it again in reflexes. Their parents, who can only treat their precious daughter's bodies in care, begin consulting with a professional magic doctor for a way to treat their daughter. Fortunately, the doctor said that maybe mental-based magic could potentially be the only treatment for their daughter. The bad news is, such specialized mages have numerous schedules and usually wander from one place to another.

With those words in their head, they were reminded of their second daughter *thema* that specialized in mental-based magic. Begging Yuuki to use her magic for their first daughter while ignoring the fact she still can't use her magic in a stable condition. Yuuki that at the time is still not mentally stable, questioning her parent's decision. She said that her magic is still not tested in human subjects, she believes that she doesn't have enough experience to use it and may have a different effect. But, those words drop in one ear. Ignoring her pleas, her parents still believe that she is the only one that can treat their daughter.

Pressed by her parents, Yuuki feels great anxiety, agitation, and fear. Somehow, every time she wants to use her magic, she always has an image of what would happen if she fails, and what will happen to her beloved sister. With that image in her mind, she intentionally removes all negative emotions from her mind with her magic. Suddenly, everything seems very clear. All those negative emotions feel like a lie. With a clear mind without fear, agitation, and anxiety. She makes the most logical decision. The decision to ignore her parents and improve her *thema* in the academy. After telling her parents what she wants, she begins to walk into the path she created. Without being disillusioned by her sister's image. This time she would be the one who carves a path for her sisters. With a cheap cost called emotion.

Fortunately or unfortunately, after she was accepted into the Royal Biblia Academy. She immediately asked to become a user of a particular Grimoire. Who would imagine that the clue to cure her sister is immediately given on the first day at school?

This is also the beginning of Yuuki suffering.

### Personality

Yuuki is usually a cheerful girl that you can find everywhere. Living her life in an ordinary mage family. Sadly this did not last long. After the incident that involves her prodigy sister. She became a pessimistic girl that covers herself with a smile. People can find her easily in either infirmary or library. Spending her time covered in a book about grimoire or helping another student that has something to deal with negative emotion.

Yuuki's name is known more in academies after many students that have a mental illness claim that they feel calmer after discussing one or two things with her. Due to this outstanding ability to cure mental illness, Yuuki was titled as a non-official infirmary nurse. Still, with this amount of achievement, she can't feel anything that can make her proud of herself.

Claiming that this achievement wouldn't make her sister cured on her own, she would bury herself in the library regardless of people saying that she should use that determination on her studies.

Still, even though she looks like a hard-to-talk girl, actually she is an easy-going girl that would talk to anyone when asked. She would answer any question with a serious answer. Even if the question is why she feels cold when talking with anyone. She claims that it was a backfire of her reckless use of her thema a year ago. If it wasn't for the part she desperately protects she probably wouldn't be able to smile, she added.

Sometimes people also can find Yuuki arguing with her Grimoire, Allinone on useless topics. Most of the time though, it was Allinone fault to tease her with Its Magic. This banter always ends with Allinone floating in midair with a fetal position sucking Its thumb while saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.". Most people who saw this would instantly get into the thinking about her thema that can affect non-human targets.

Yuuki is also known for her odd hobbies to improve her thema effectiveness. She claims that environments are deeply associated with her thema, that's why she pursued a fast way to change her surroundings into horror movies-like places. This odd way to "Improve" is crazy enough to the point she would rather choose a kitchen knife than an effective weapon just for the sake of the feelings.

Nobody knew if this rare trait of hers was the real way to improve her thema or just her hobby to scare her enemy. Either way, this trait of hers is the main reason why she was titled a "Horror-maker." by her classmates.

### Appearance

Yuuki Shirota is a lovely young girl that has a white hair and slightly small chest compared to girl in her ages. Due to this she sometimes teased by her Grimoire Allinone. When she was in her job as a librarian sometimes she could be found wearing a glasses.

## Abilities

### General Abilities

After seeing her sister's depraved state through her own eyes. Yuuki developed an overly cautious and pessimistic personality. Combined with being able to suppress anxiety, fear, and negative emotions through her *thema*. She attains the ability to predict and anticipate things that might affect her badly.

### Magic

**Name of *Thema*:** Trepid (Shaken)

**Magic Archive:** Acedia

**⊏DESCRIPTION OF *THEMA*⊐**

The Thema of Shirota Yuuki, *Trepid* is a thema that mainly deals with negative emotion. Usually, it's focused on *a thing that can make the target shaken,* such as anxiety, agitation, confusion, terror, and fear. *Trepid's* most notable ability is total control of the target's negative emotion. Either by increasing it or suppressing it.

Depending on how Yuuki uses *Trepid* nature, she could use the very nature of total control of target negative emotion to cure her target phobia and complexity. This is the reason why people immediately come to her when they have to deal with mental illness or a mental-based curse.

**⊏LIMITATIONS OF *THEMA*⊐**

The lack of understanding of the target of this *thema* may affect the surrounding. If Yuuki failed to judge the targeted nature, the effect that she gives may be different from what she wants. Depending on the target's personality, mental state, and negative emotion that she wants to control, there is always a chance that the target may lose identity, solve their mental illness or in the worst cases scenario, berserk.

This bad nature of her *thema* is forcing her to know how to deal with many different natures of the target and how to deal with it. Usually, the limitations are focused on some negative emotion that requires careful handling such as fear and anxiety. This limitation is also making Yuuki not deprive her target's negative emotions fearing that it would deprive her target personality.

#### Grimoire

Shirota Yuuki's most notable piece of equipment is the Convenience Book of Depravity Allinone. The Grimoire was created as a joke by an unnamed Mages. Known as a man-made Grimoire, Allinone is mainly dealing with basic spells, like Telekinesis, Telepathy, or even making an ice cube out of thin air. This sentient book is also known for making anyone who became its user would have a convenient life. This is the reason why most students are envious of Yuuki without knowing that this book would try to make Its user fall into Depravity by any means necessary.
