Vica Bauer [ヴィカ・バウアー*Vu~ika Bauā*] is the adopted daughter of the House Bauer, a noble family of the Clover Kingdom. She is a 4th Class Intermediate Magic Knight of Clover Kingdom's Golden Dawn and Royal Knights squads. Invited onto Golden Dawn, she wields a three-leaf clover grimoire.

## Appearance

Vica has a slim body, with notably long legs. She has mocha brown hair. It's loosely tied back in a low-hanging ponytail, leaving one strand hanging by her face. Her bangs are swept to one side, though it varies sometimes. She has blue-gray eyes and has a habit of slouching.

In her first appearance, she is seen wearing a royal blue, long-sleeved midriff, which is pulled over a white top. She has loose black pants with two large pockets, and black boots as well, paired with black fingerless gloves. She has several belts tied around her, all of brown color. Two around her biceps, one around her waist, and a more decorated one hanging around her chest. A pendant with a four-point star design hangs from her waist.

At first, she only wears the Golden Dawn robe, made of gold cloth with blue fur at the hood, attached by ribbons and a gold button, over her main outfit. She later starts wearing their signature uniform as well. She tries to get away with not wearing it as often as possible, due to her absolutely hating it.

## Personality

Vica is a complete and utter deadpan person, unlike what her name states. Because of this, she is generally impassive to the outside world around her, mostly making degrading, sarcastic-like remarks in response to interaction. She gives off a tired aura and acts like she is sincerely done with life, either barely reacting to what is told to her or complaining a lot. There is no in-between. People view her as an emotionless asshole.

In contrast, she is surprisingly petty, being known to remember and hold grudges for a long time. That cake you stole from her as kids? Will blast you across the field for it 6 years later. Vica usually years before getting her revenge, which really sets off the people around her. It's a running gag for someone to flop over near her, having all their energy stolen.

With her unbothered personality, Vica's almost always managed to stay calm in stressful situations, if not acting even more dead than usual. She does like to cause a bit of trouble though, and will shout things like, "Holy shit we're going die," and fake panic to get others to react. But for the most part, she can remain level-headed enough to think clearly. When fighting, she'll often taunt her opponents, talking and moving with a lot more spirit than usual. She loves to rile up enemies.

Once in awhile, she'll become annoyed enough to snap. This is when she goes full-blown spewing insults. Everything that comes out of her mouth is either mocking others, backhanded compliments, or complaints, with a little more emotion put behind them. Her habit of banging her fist on whatever is nearby also comes along.

## Biography

Vica lived in the royal capital with her parents, who served the Bauer Noble family. At 10, her parents were murdered on a stormy night, which left her with Tonitrophobia. House Bauer took her in as one of their children, and she got along well with her adopted siblings.

Although the Bauer family cared for her and acted like she was one of their own, the other nobles looked down at her, calling her a "false noble" and saying she didn't possess magic as great as theirs. They often berated the Bauers as to why they didn't just send her off to an orphanage. Her siblings defended her against the other noble children, who also mocked her.

At first, Vica sulked due to the constant belittling, always staying within the confines of the family mansion and never going out. Eventually, she managed to force herself to her feet with the help of one of her sisters, Rose Bauer. She rigorously practiced and trained all day, promising herself the time would come when she would gain their respect. Rose often helped, as she possessed high-level plant magic. (Guess what plant.) Soon, Vica built up an enormous amount of stamina and mana as a result.

She was offered a spot in Golden Dawn after the talk about the "false noble" made their way around the kingdom. By this point, she had attempted to break the rumors about her, going out on countless missions to prove herself. She accepts, seeing this as a way to obtain a high position.

## Battle Prowess

### Magic

* **Energy Magic**: Vica uses this magic to manifest energy into a physical form, and manipulate it. She mainly launches long-range attacks with it, causing mass damage from explosions. However, she has been shown to have enough control over it to shield the areas she wants to remain untouched.
* **Creation Magic**: She can turn pure energy into physical objects, which have a honey color. These energy-manifested items tend to explode with whatever they come into contact with unless she wished for them to not.
* **Healing Magic**: Technically, she can replenish the energy of others, and give them a boost to their strength and mana.
* **Reinforcement Magic**: She is able to increase her own physical abilities and capacity to fight by taking the strength of others, or just creating armor for herself.

### Abilities

* **Immense Magic Power**: Despite not being a noble, her capacity for magic is enormous. She can use draining magic all the time even without a grimoire. It's on par with her stamina, and those two skills build off each other to allow her to fight for hours on end.
* **Immense Stamina**: Due to her training, she has a tremendous amount of stamina, able to exercise and fight for long periods with barely any signs of weariness. She is shown to rarely be out of breath. Part this is fueled by help from her magic. Her magic feeds her physical strength, which in turn can replenish her mana.
* **Immense Durability**: She's able to take mountains of damage, even without the enhancement of her magic. As a child, when training with her magic, it often sent her flying in the opposite direction from the explosions. It caused her to slam into trees, buildings, and showered her with debris. She eventually grew to build up high resistance.
* **Enhanced Reflexes**: Her heightened senses allow her to read her opponent's movements, and react in real-time. In physical fights, she relies on mostly dodging. Her eyes focus on center of balance, body movement, and body positioning to anticipate attacks.

### Equipment

* **Grimoire**: Vica possesses a three-leaf clover grimoire that contains various energy-based spells. The designs plated on are silver and embroider the edges, while the grimoire itself is amber. She rarely pulls it out, as it mainly contains one-shot spells that wipe her out completely. The three-leaf clover is in the center and is white.
