Acht

**Acht** is leading the **Mage's Guild** and she is also one of the ten administrators of the **Mary Enterprise**.

## Appearance

Acht is a pale-skinned woman with blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair is waist-lengthed and curls upward at the tips; her forehead is exposed and her bangs fall to her shoulders on each side. Her hips and chest are fairly large, and there is a mole under her left eye.

During her Drive Veil Skin, all of her skin except her face becomes a greyish blue; crystals cover her arms, chest, legs, crotch, and jaw.

Acht's normal attire consists of a blue, button-up corset with black and yellow trim. She wears two sets of underwear; a black pair with a blue pattern that rides at the edge of her corset, and underneath that, a black pair that hugs around her hips.

She wears sagging, black trousers that start near her crotch and fall down under her knee; it also has a silver zipper. Over these pants, Acht wears long, black, high-heeled boots that go up to the middle of her thigh. The boots puff out at the top and have a black trim with silver ornaments decorating the front.

She wears a long, black jacket that reaches down to her ankles from the back; from the waist the jacket is pleated. The inside of the jacket is blue, and the sleeves have a cuff with yellow trim.

The top of the jacket has a blue pattern and a window exposing the cap of her shoulder, and at the neck, the collars pop out; the collar is joined by a blue ribbon. Over her jacket, she wears a large, black cape that she wears over her shoulder and tucks under her right arm. The cape has fur trim. Finally, Acht wears large sunglasses that she wears at the top of her head.

## Personality

On the surface, Acht is polite and courteous, if not slightly condescending. When pushed to fight, however, she is maliciously cold, Acht treats those she deems under her as rough as she possibly can. She revels in taunting her enemies and has no qualms about attacking those weaker than her so long as it is part of her mission. Acht recognizes her actions as being morally reprehensible, even calling herself a "cruel witch" after holding Hinata Himezuru hostage. She finds Touya Kagari annoying, loud, and obnoxious, and dislikes him so much that she has no problems with attempting to kill him.

She likes to fight and gets frustrated when she can't fight. She displays a confidence in her magical abilities that borders hubris. Regardless of her personality, there are still two people in this world that she respects very much: The first is the Director of **Mary Enterprise**. The second is the woman who adopted and cared for her, **Mary Nakayama**. And Acht was also the one who sent three androids (namely 2B, 2F and A2) to **Yukito** in the past as well as many other things like Hundred before the Academy City entrance exam took place.

Although they have never met, Acht has a mad love for Yukito (possibly her obsession with love is due to Mary's upbringing). It seems that her arrogant and condescending personality is just a fake personality she created to deceive others (just as Mary taught her).

When she and Yukito first met, she immediately asked Yukito to call her 'Nee-chan' and puffed her cheeks in anger at his refusal to call her 'Nee-chan'.

In her spare time, Acht likes reading and relaxing. She follows fashion and likes finding out the secrets of others.

## Powers & Abilities

As one of the Ten Sages, Acht is one of the most powerful Mages in the world. She specializes in Ice magic, able to gather moisture from the air and manipulate the surrounding temperature. She uses this to create icy projectiles and summon large spikes of ice out of the ground. She can even create large icebergs to throw at opponents. Acht is a very strong ice user and it's best not to confront her as she can freeze on a molecular level.

Acht possesses the **Drive** **Veil Skin**, covering her body in a protective armor that is immune to all magical attacks. Also Acht is absolutely brilliant at manipulating and getting others to fight for her or against each other.

* **Ice Age:** A powerful skill of Acht. This is one of the reasons why people are often afraid of her because in the past she has frozen the entire Z-City with this skill.

* **Ice Time:** A technique created by Acht that allows her to freeze time for a short time (usually 10 seconds).
* **Ice Saber:** Create a sword made of ice, it is very hard and sharp.
