## Status

### Affiliation

Sorumeika High School

**Arikida Minezuka** also known as **Magician** *(*マジシャン, *Majishan),* is a student in Class 1-B at Sorumeika High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Arikida is a short girl with a sharp face, her face framed by thick, wavy dark blue hair which reaches halfway down her back, some shorter bangs hanging down her forehead. Her eyes are large and round, electric blue in color. She has no distinctive qualities other than a line of black scales that trail from the base of her neck down her back. Which she often hides with her clothing and hair placement.

Arikida's hero costume is a white coat with a long hood overtop, and slightly large sleeves. Over her eyes is a set of black and red goggles similar to Eraserhead’s own. Underneath the coat is a dark-red top, a white and red belt and a dark red dress significantly shorter than the coat. She also has a large cartoon heart printed on the back of her coat.

## Personality

Arikida is naturally a very kind, thoughtful, and diligent girl. She shows great interest in people's Quirks and is easily distracted by them. Due to this, Arikida can be very invasive or off-putting due to her curiosity. Arikida is an affectionate person and a "free spirit," someone who has a genuine passion for learning new and strange things and isn't afraid to speak her mind or show how she feels. She seems to like knowing more than others, but not in a proud way, as she just enjoys explaining things to people and sharing her knowledge.

She is very enthusiastic, affable and cheery, and is always seen moving. Thanks to her inquisitive and chatty demeanor, she is a notably level-headed individual, though she comes off as an "airhead" most of the time. Despite her happy-go-lucky personality, Arikida is fierce in battle. When the situation calls for it, Arikida can be very calm and focused. Her curiosity never seems to extend to the enemy and she always maintains her focus on taking them down.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Arikida is one of Sōrumeikā High School’s strongest students. The only reason she was put into class 1-B is that her abilities didn't accurately reflect the criteria -- making for a misguided understanding of her Quirk. She has shown on multiple occasions to have great mastery over *Vanish*, often being able to keep a level-head even when confronted with an overwhelming disadvantage. Despite her Quirk's lack of depth, Arikida is able to use it to distract, redirect attention, and even overwhelm her targets so that they can be subdued by her teammates.

Vanish has proven to be very effective against slower enemies, as things can appear and disappear within Arikida’s vicinity very quickly. Initially, Arikida lacked direct combat abilities, choosing to rely on the power of her Quirk in battles. But after getting into Sōrumeikā High School she underwent specialized training that was overlooked by her mentor and older sibling: Kasuho Minezuka*.*

**Sleight of Hand:** Arikida has exceptional fine motor skills and sense of touch, enabling her to perform grand cardistry. She is nimble and precise to the point that she can figure out which page of a book she is on just by touching it with her fingers, and can memorize the order of the cards in a deck by touching them.

### Quirk

**Vanish** (消える, *Kieru*): Arikida's Quirk allows her to turn anything she touches invisible. The effect will remain for a short amount of time, and she can transfer the invisibility effect from target A to B, but not B to C. She uses her playing cards to do this, usually able to disorient and confuse her opponents by changing their environment rapidly.

## Equipment

**Playing Cards:** Arikida's weapons of choice are razor-sharp playing cards. Although other than their unnatural cutting ability, Arikida's cards are unremarkable. She hides several hundred within her costume at all times, and due to her own card manipulation mastery, she's able to retrieve and use these cards quickly, and without much effort. The cards themselves are matte black with the borders and symbols/numbers being a glossy black to make it easier to see.
