Mago is a major antagonist in **Blade of the Phantom Master**. She is a shapeshifting panther that loyally serves Ajitae to the end.

She has black eyes with her irises being dark crystal blue with her pupils being cat-like and noticeable lips. Her physique is slightly muscular, specifically with her upper arms. She wears a type of kunoichi garbs; mostly greyish black and dark purple being the compliment color.

It is sleeveless and seemingly a one-piece with the skirt being thigh-length with a purple sash. The right side of the skirt is see through, showing her thigh with wraps tying the ends of the skirt. She wears greyish black fingerless arm gloves and leggings that ends at the middle of her thighs. Her right thigh has a tattoo of a dragon and she wears a dark purple scarf which is big that covers her neck and lower face and is long with two ends. Her lower body, specifically her thighs are visible. Finally she carries three holsters for her three katanas.

When shapeshift to a panther. It looks like a normal panther as the fur is black and the eyes has the same color as her human form.

## Personality

She is rather silent the most of the time. When she speaks, she has a cocky and murderous tone. She enjoys eating humans.

## Background

Mago is Ajitae's companion and bodyguard. There is nothing known of her background as to who she is and why she serves Ajitae. It is likely she served him after the fall of Jyushin.

Appearing as a Kunoichi (female ninja), she is in fact an intelligent, man-eating panther. She is first properly seen fighting Sando in the millhouse. In the final battle, Mago faces off against Youngsil, who manages to match her with his Taekwondo. However, after Ajitae's explosion, she is caught in the crossfire and half her body is crushed and she dies.

## Plot Overview

### Poisonous Flowers Arc

She briefly is seen in two occasions; following closely to Ajitae as he wanders around.

### Fixing Mahai Arc (Two Loyal Followers)

As Ajitae is travelling up the mountain, he is ambushed by bandits and gives them some of his coins. After the bandits let him go, Ajitae orders Mago to kill them all. She later shapeshifts into a panther to eat the dead bodies and ends up meeting Munsu who fires a shot at her. She attacks Munsu in retaliation and chases him to a wooden hut. It is then that Sando appears to rescue Munsu and Mago and Sando fight.

### Mandrake Dream Arc

Mago spars with Sando in Mujang's place in the mountains and presumably learns hapki there. Together with Sando, they are sent to attack Mito's workshop, though Mago's attacks are either stopped by Taeyoo or by Mito's summons.

During the time that Munsu prepares for the final battle, Sando and Mago presumably are helping Ajitae take over the various Jyushin territories, including a fleet army in the ocean, cutting them down with hapki.

### Final Battle Arc

In the final battle, Mago fights Youngsil but before accidentally steps on Myowol, presumbably killing her. She was about to maul Youngsil but is ultimately killed in friendly-fire by Ajitae's explosion.

## Abilities and Weapons

**Abilities**

* Shapeshift - Mago can shapeshift between human and panther. However, how she does is not known. She was never seen in the middle of her transforming, thus is more unclear of her process.
* Hapki - it would seem that Mago learned Hapki from Musashi when being a sparring partner with Sando in the mountains. It doesn't seem that Mago knew Hapki beforehand.

**Weapons**

* Katanas - has 3 swords. With one short, medium and long length.

## Trivia

* Explicitly revealed in the YLAB Encyclopedia, she is a part of White as "X-Dimension."
* In the original Gaiden manhwa, there is a short story of Mago's previous life which seems to be non canon. Was written by "Inwan Youn" & illustrated by "Murao Minoru."
	+ In the past, she appears to have a twin sister named "Mary." They always spar and care greatly of one another. One day, they see twins with different hair styles and do so as well. Interestingly, Mary's style is from the anime.
* In the anime movie, she is changed a lot:
	+ She is a servant of Euitaee Yoo instead of Ajitae.
	+ Her hair style is slightly different.
	+ She seems to be human as she doesn't use her panther form.
	+ She had already died just like the islanders that Euitae resurrected. Presumed that she was one of those pirates or islanders before the plague hit.
	+ She is a lot more aggressive and talkative.
* It is unclear if she is a panther that transforms into a human or vice versa. When she died, she is in her panther form. This may suggest she is originally an animal.
* In the Super String Mobile Game:
	+ Her Shapeshifting is an essential move set in the game.
	+ She is voiced by voice actress, *"Lee Sujeong."* She also voices Gayeon Sin in the game.
	+ Her outfit's color is different from the webtoon. As shown by the concept art, it is likely that the artist chose said color as he used the original manhwa. Which means perhaps his art was created before the webtoon was released.
