Esdeath

**Esdeath** is the main antagonist of the *Akame Ga Kill!* series.

## Background

Esdeath was born to a tribe of hunters located in one of the northern regions of the world. Even at a young age, she was an excellent hunter, capable of killing massive monsters known as Danger Beasts. She soon learned that only the strong survive in this world by observing the wildlife, but it ended up becoming etched into her mind when she found out that her entire clan had been slaughtered while she was out hunting. She dedicated the rest of her life to becoming the strongest person she could by hunting as much as she could. But resources were scarce, so she moved to the Imperial Capital, where she joined their army. She climber through the ranks very quickly and eventually gained the right to wield her own Teigu. Despite the fact that there were many options, she didn’t really like any of them, except for a highly dangerous one known as Demon’s Extract, which had driven all those who tried to use it insane. Esdeath tamed this Teigu, and it made her even more powerful than she already was. As the top-ranking general in the Empire, she became one of the most feared people in the whole world.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** At least **Small City Level**, likely **City Level** casually (Easily froze a river. Superior to Budo, who can cause storms.), likely **Large Country Level** (Superior to practically all other Teigu users, including Wave with Mastema and Grand Chariot, who can evenly match Shikoutazer.) | **Planet Level** (Generated a massive snow sheet that spanned a large part of the planet.)

**Speed: Massively Hypersonic** (Dodged lightning from Budo's storm clouds while fighting Akame.) | **Massively Hypersonic** (Should be faster than before.)

**Durability:** At least **City Level** (Can take hits from an evolved Tatsumi, who can fight evenly against Budo.), likely **Large Country Level** (See Attack Potency) | **Planet Level** (Should be equal to her own AP.)

**Hax:** Summoning, Time Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Danmaku, Weather Manipulation, Life Creation (Can breath life into her ice creations. Once created a living horse out of ice. Her Ice Calvary technique revolves around creating a living army of centaurs), Resistance to Mind Control (Resisted Demon's Extract influence), Resistance to Illusions (Was unfazed by Spectator's illusions), Resistance to Harmful Sounds (Described Heavy Pressure's Trump Card, Nasty Voice, as a sound akin to a mere fly buzzing in her ear), Resistance to Fire and Heat (Her ice walls did not melt upon making contact with Die Leagur's fire orb, which can reduce human to only their bones, and was completely unaffected by Tyrant's fire breath)

**Intelligence: Above Average** (A skilled warrior from a young age. Climbed through the Empire's ranks with ease and became their deadliest general.)

**Stamina: Very High** (Endured a long fight agaisnt hundreds of foes without tiring out at all.)

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Extreme Mental Fortitude:** Esdeath’s mind is highly resistance to supernatural interferences. She was the only person not to go insane from drinking Demon’s Extract. She has also been able to resist the illusions caused by Spectator.
* **Sharp Senses:** Esdeath is capable of sensing other people’s presences from afar.
* **Demon’s Extract:** An incredibly powerful Teigu that grants her the power to create ice out of nowhere while also boosting her strength tremendously. Esdeath has various techniques and creative uses for the ice she can make.
	+ **Weiss Schnabel:** Esdeath shoots a barrage of icicles at the enemy. At her strongest, she can make hundreds of them in a single instant.
	+ **Grauhorn:** Esdeath causes a large spike of ice to come out of either the ground or any other surface she may choose.
	+ **Hagelsprung:** Esdeath summons a massive block of ice.
	+ **Freeze Capture:** Esdeath encases the enemy in a block of ice to impede their movement. It has also been used as an instant counter move when she was touched by Tatsumi.
	+ **Ice Shields:** Esdeath can use her ice as a way to protect herself. She has used it as both separate shields with multiple layers, and small armors to cover her blind spots.
	+ **Flight:** Esdeath can make floating ice around her body, which, in turn, allows her to fly.
	+ **Ice Cavalry:** Esdeath has created tens of thousands of soldiers made of ice. These are capable of attacking enemies on their own.
	+ **Ice Horse:** Esdeath can summon an ice horse for herself.
	+ **Mahapadma:** Esdeath’s trump card. Shefreezes space and time for a brief moment, which she can use however she pleases. However, she can only use it once per day, and targets that can resist the cold are capable of moving within her stopped time.
	+ **Ice Storm: Commander-In-Chief:** Esdeath’s ultimate technique. By absorbing all of her Ice Cavalry troops at once, she gains enough power to severely amplify her powers.
		- **Weather Manipulation:** Esdeath gains the ability to cause a massive snow storm. By giving her a constant source of ice, she has a much easier time creating constructs.
		- **Ice Tree:** Esdeath creates a large tree that shoots out icicles.
		- **Ice Blender:** A makeshift giant blender created from large icicles.
		- **Ice Prosthetics:** If she loses a limb in battle, she is capable of replacing it with an ice version of said limb, and she can even weaponize them.
		- **Ice Armor:** She can form a full suit of armor with her ice.

### Equipment

* **Rapier:** Esdeath’s only weapon. It’s a standard rapier with no special features.

## Key

**Base | Amped by Comander-In-Chief**
It should be noted that Commander-In-Chief required her to use Ice Cavalry that she had been building over the past few days, so it can technically be considered as something that requires prep time. However, her Ice Cavalry is considered a standard part of her arsenal, so she can most likely access them in most fights without it being considered prep.
