**Cheshire Cassius** 「チェシア キャシアス *Cheshia Kyashiasu*」 is an Intermediate Knight of fifth rank and a member of the Aqua Deer. One of the few surviving members of the Noble house of Cassius, Cheshire joined the Magic Knights in an attempt to rekindle the fading fame and nobility of her family after their tragic passing has all but erased them from existence.

## Personality

As a Noble one wouldn't be chastised for believing that Cheshire holds a high and mighty attitude toward those of lower status and meeting her would in their mind easily confirm this. She has a tendancy to talk down to others be they her squadmates, other lower ranking knights, or simple commoners. Seeming to hold herself and her family in high regard she is hesitant to do things "unbefitting" of her Noble status in front of others. Sometimes acting like a prissy and pambered little brat downright. This doesn't make her well liked by most she encounters but little do they understand that this is exactly what she wants. Or rather, what she feels the need to do.

Believing her family and thus herself are cursed and that like the others of the Cassius family she too will one day meet a tragic end she pushes others away in the fear that her presence will bring them nothing but grief and strife until the day she passes from this world. In secret, known only to her captain, Cheshire is a hardworker often volunteering herself for the roughest jobs offered to their squad. Dreaming of some day restoring the honor of her the all but lost house of Cassius she wishes to rise through the ranks and bring glory to her name in the time she has left. Though, the dream is but an ember inside her as sometimes she wonders if she allows herself to go on these sometimes deadly and dangerous missions because she's already accepted her fate to meet an end before her time. A conflicted heart and soul she is unsure of what her true motivations are but she continues to live each day all the same because she's unsure of what else she would do anyhow.

## Battle Prowess

* **Gifted Intellect**: Coming from a family of well educated and intelligent mages, it only makes sense that even in their fading glory Cheshire would follow in those footsteps. Cheshire has a curious and inquisitive mind, one of the many reasons she chose the Aqua Deer over the other Knight Squads during her selection. Alongside her mentor and squad Captain she's grown even more so in her short years as a magic knight, leading to the creation of several magic objects. Though she wouldn't consider herself a genius, with enough time and effort she may earn the title.
* **High Magic power**: Born into the Noble Cassius family, Cheshire was given a headstart over many as years of marriages and descendents has seen her family's magic power increase with each new generation much like that of other Noble families. As a result, Cheshire too was, as many would say, blessed by the mana and gifted with large magic reserves.
* **Expert Flier**: A skill that has taken a lot of hard work and dedication, Cheshire has become a skilled flier using both a broomstick and her own homemade flying tool, her umbrella. Capable to making sharp turns and changing her altitude at the drop of hat, allowing her to weave through and dodge projectiles in a pinch when flying. Her flying speed increased when partnered with her wind enchanted squad cloak.

### Magic

**Steel Magic** 「鋼魔法 *Hagane Mahō*」 is a magical attribute derived from Earth Magic that allows the user to create and manipulate works of steel at the users behest.

* **Steel Cyclone**: With her grimoire open, Cheshire creates a spinning mass of metal shavings to bear down on her targets. The thin and twisted metal shavings are sharp as razors, tearing up and slicing objects that are caught in its path like a mobile meat grinder. However, with so many objects on the field at once and the destructive nature of the spell, it requires a great deal of Cheshire's concentration and magical power to use effectively and thus is sparingly used as she favors the precision and elegance of her dancing swords.

**Creation Magic** 「創成魔法 *Sōsei Mahō*」 is a type of magic that gives the user the ability to shape objects created from their own magic. In Cheshire's case, it allows her to shape the steel she creates into weapons and other objects.

* **Summon Swords**: Is a spell that, with her grimoire open, allows Cheshire to create a multiple or a single sword of various shapes and sizes that she can use however she pleases, the swords floating around her body to be used as she sees fit.
	+ **Spiraling Swords**: After summoning her swords, Cheshire will have them point outward from her body and have them spin around her at high speed. This forms a light defense that keeps foes at a distance.
	+ **Steel Blade Acupuncture**: Upon summoning six swords, they will line up one either side of Cheshire in rows of three. She will then send one or more of these swords flying in the direction of a target at high speed in an attempt to impale them. If done successfully she can choose to shatter the swords which will create sharpnel that can further damage targets.
* **Steel Maiden's Embrace**: As the name suggests, or at the very least hints at, this spell is one that involves an object similar to that of an iron maiden. A steel coffin-shaped object will form and attempt to trap a target. Depending on the intent of the user, the inside of this steel maiden may or may not be lined with steel spikes made to impale the target.

### Equipment

* **Grimoire**:     Cheshire's Grimoire is a three leaf clover grimoire of average thickness. A deep and lighter pink in color with a Harlequin pattern across the front, ornate highly reflective metallic trimmings along the perimeter of the front and back cover. Described by Cheshire to feel like cloth the pages are also said to feel like silk. The only hard part of the book being that of what appears to be a spine made of steel.
* **Umbrella**: Cheshire's umbrella is a three and a half foot magic item, functioning as a normal umbrella as well as a portable provider of shade on sunny days it also serves the same function to her as a broom. Capable of side straddling the object and flying it.
* **Squad Cloak**:
* **Communication Tool**: A small object provided to her by the Magic Knights, the communicator is compact and similar in appearance to that of a compact mirror, allowing Cheshire to communicate with her squad members and others within the Knight's ranks.
