Bazett Fraga McRemitz

**Bazett Fraga McRemitz** (バゼット・フラガ・マクレミッツ, *Bazetto Furaga Makuremittsu*?) is a character introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. She is a Sealing Designation Enforcer of the Global Occult Coalition sent to Academy City to oversee the distortion.

## Appearance

Bazett is a very demure woman who often wears a black, two piece business suit with a red-violet necktie. She has short, magenta hair and a mole just below her left eye. Bazett often accompanies her attire with two ovoid earrings that were once worn by Cú Chulainn.

## Personality

While normally serious and stern, Bazett is an honest, kind, sincere and hardworking individual who possesses a strong sense of justice, being the type of person who is destined to stand above others, though she has talent and has worked hard to reach where she is now. She can be short-tempered, but also calculating. She takes her work very seriously, be it as an enforcer or a magician. By nature of her specialty, she will literally come to blows with anyone obstructing her and her objectives, even if they are children, though she is quite hesitant to do so.

Furthermore, despite presenting herself as a strong-willed and mature woman with an independent streak, she is actually a rather lonely person. Bazett is also dense toward any feelings of love above kindness, often not understanding why certain people behave a certain way, such as when she sometimes didn't understand Fourier's behaviour, and sometimes displays an air-headed side. Despite this, Bazett is confident in her abilities and puts lots of effort in what she can do, specializing in what she is good rather than acquiring new skills.

When off-duty, Bazett is a fairly friendly person and usually formal to people. She enjoy playing board games and drinking with her colleagues. Her unshakable work ethic is a point of strength as well as a source of comedy relief, as she nonchalantly accepts a string of grueling service jobs, from maid cafe waitress to beach vendor. Remarking at one point that she would roadside grass if it were necessary, Bazett is rarely phased by her fiscal plights, having accepted them as par for the course in her violent tendencies.

## Background

Bazett was born in a coastal village in Ireland as a descendant of an old family of magi that had detached itself from the Global Occult Coalition and lived in the shadows quietly. Wishing to pursue a different path than that of her ancestors, she chose to join the Coalition when she was 15. Despite Bazett's rare lineage, her skills were not judged as being particularly useful and she was dismissed. Instead, she employed her abilities to become a hunter of those that had been given a Sealing Designation.

## Abilities

Bazett Fraga McRemitz is a very skilled magician and is a specialist in physical combat. She is shown to be extremely physically strong, near superhuman, casually tossing furniture with a single hand, causing great collateral damage from the force of her physical strikes, and easily uprooting large sections of the ground. Her family possesses a Sorcery Trait known as **God’s Holder** (伝承保菌者（ゴッズホルダー）, *Denshōhokinsha (Gozzuhorudā)*?, lit. "Tradition Carrier"), which allows them to pass on their abilities through bloodline rather than teachings.

Due to her heritage, Bazett is extremely proficient in the usage of Rune Magic, utilizing it along with standard reinforcement to amplify her already impressive physical strength to the level of Saints along with various other auxiliary uses. Bazett weaves various runes into her clothing to constantly boost her strength and durability to the point that she can easily smash through defensive barriers and create massive craters in the walls and ground while holding back to avoid killing her target. When faced with nine major stab wounds, including two fatal ones and one directly to the heart, she has a Rune of Resurrection that resuscitates and restores her to peak condition should her heart stop for any reason, allowing her to fight even after being killed. However, it appears to require a great deal of preparation in order to use, meaning that it is only usable once per battle.

### Fragarach

* Fragarach
* Lead ball and carrying container
1/2Bazett's trump card is **Fragarach** (斬り抉る戦神の剣（フラガラック）, *Kirieguru Senjin no Ken (Furagarakku)*?, lit. "Gouging Sword of the War God"), an incredibly powerful spiritual item which belongs to the Fraga family and has been passed down through its users throughout history. It is known as the "*Sword of Retrograde*" and an indefeasible weapon of the gods, divinely protected by some malicious will, that works by using a conceptual curse to warp destiny and a divine trick that uses time as its blade. It warps causality to always strike the opponent in the heart with a needle thin concentrated blast right before they unleash their ultimate attack. The condition for its use is that the opponent must use their strongest attack, and Fragarach must be used directly after the enemy's strike. It would normally be that Fragarach would kill the enemy, and the opponent's attack would also simultaneously destroy Bazett.

Despite being released afterwards and no matter how fast the opposing attack is cast, Fragarach always strikes first by changing the flow of time to rewrite events so that it makes its own strike against the enemy before the opposing move was ever made in the course of the world. Rather than just rewriting events to gouge out the heart of the enemy, it is severing the fate of the combatants, reversing and changing the flow of destiny of both the user and the enemy simultaneously killing each other with their attacks. The attack of the enemy, returned to a point where it "*couldn't happen*" due to the user being struck down by Fragarach, is wiped out by the laws of the world and the absolute system of time. No matter the power or speed of the ability, it is impossible to use if the enemy is defeated and has all of their later actions voided before they even have a chance to attack. It is an ability using one's life as bait to counter a one-turn-kill to win the battle that both kills the enemy and nullifies their attack, creating a perfect balance between offensive and defensive capabilities. She can also utilize its non-counter form three times in a row. Bazett can only carry up to five shots for Fragarach at a time.
