Cecily Campbell

**Cecily Campbell** is the main protagonist of *The Sacred Blacksmith* anime and light novels.

Cecily is a third generation knight from The Knight Guards of Houseman from the Third City of the Independent Trade Cities.

In the XP4 fics, Cecily debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Neo-City Diaries.

## **Appearance**

Cecily is extremely well endowed and has an impressive figure. She has a short bobcut red hair and has red eyes. She wears a black leotard with a white detached collar underneath gray-colored chestplate with yellow lines and brown straps, white ruffled skirt with yellow trims and brown thin belt, a white cape on her right shoulder and a silver bracer on her left shoulder, light-brown detached sleeves with brown folds and brown gloves. She wears a black thigh-high socks with brown folds, light-brown baggy socks, silver-colored footwear and a white crown-like headband.

## **Personality**

In the manga and light novels, Cecily is depicted as a strong, smart girl with great leadership skills, evident early when she leads a group of knights and mercenaries against a band of thieves and monsters. She quickly learns from her mistakes and is a skilled sword fighter. The anime portrays her in the opposite: she is inadequate and possesses mediocre swordsmanship, though she does improve as the series progresses.

Cecily cares deeply about the people around her, whether the citizens of the Independent Trade City or her closest friends.  She very quickly becomes concerned about Lisa’s well being, wanting to know if Luke takes good care of her and making sure of her happiness.  When Aria describes her life as a demon sword, Cecily compares it to slavery.  Even when attacked by an assassin while in the militant nation, she sympathizes with the girl’s motives and desire for independence.  Through her kindness, she is able to empathize with anyone, including Jack Strader and Lisa Oakwood.
