Rosanne Vermillion

## Image Gallery

**Rosanne Vermillion** 「バーミリオン ロザン *Baamirion Rozan*」is the Magic Knight Captain of the Crimson Lion Magic Knight Squad, and a loyal citizen of the Clover Kingdom.

She is the sole user of Acceleration Magic.

## Appearance

Having the blood of nobility flowing through her, blood of royalty, Rosanne has been described as being blindingly beautiful. Even with paler skin, her face is anything but bland. Rosanne displays a genetic phenomenon known as Heterochromia, resulting in her eyes being mismatched in colour. Her right eye is a clear cloud grey, while her left is a brilliant gold. Yet the final detail is a scar travelling down her right brow, over her eye and ending just past it. All the more attention is drawn to her because of her height, placing her at six foot and one inch. With this, she stands taller than the average male or female of the Clover Kingdom, adding to her imposing figure.

Yet of course, the most prominent feature of Rosanne is her vermillion crimson hair. Even amongst members of House Vermillion, infamous for their rouge hair colours, Rosanne’s is especially red. To the woman it is a symbol of her pride and might, being the only aspect of herself that she is vain towards in any regard. She is often recognizable by the hue of her hair alone, and the sight of it in the battlefield is enough to make enemies cower.

She sports two main outfits. The first of which is made up of a black jumpsuit that clings to her physique with black combat boots. On top of this she adorns a long-sleeved red jacket with obsidian highlights, which cuts off by her midriff. This outfit is the one she is most often seen wearing on her personal time as well as during formal events. A secondary outfit she adorns is a similar black combat jumpsuit with the same boots, except she wears a deep green trench-coat on top of it. This is the outfit she wears on any prolonged missions where she is sent outside of the Clover Kingdom.

## History

### Past

...Sometime in 490XR, Rosanne is made Vice-Captain of the Crimson Lions.

...Later in 497XR, Rosanne becomes the Captain of the Crimson Lions.

### 500XR

Main article: Mystic Origin
Rosanne is debuted alongside six other Magic Knight Captains, with one of them being the Vice-Captain of Aqua Deer, at a Gala held by the Clover Kingdom in order to give the Rookies a chance to bond and get to know one another before the exams the next day. When called upon stage, Rose appears in a flash of speed to satiate her need for dramatic flair. Before allowing the emcee of the event to continue, she recognizes all the applicants at the venue by giving them a two-fingered salute and a smile on her face.
Later when it is her turn to explain to the applicants about herself and the Crimson Lions, she provides them with a show of her magic. She then explains that the Crimson Lions are the ones in charge of all Domestic Defence of the Clover Kingdom, from large-scale events to comparatively smaller. With the way she carries herself and explains the role, she allows the weight of her words before sitting back down. But not without one last flair, revealing that the Crimson Lions live in a volcano.
During the “meet and greet” portion of the event, Rose is approached by Sora Greer, who curtsies before Rosanne before asking her some questions. When asked what defines a member of the Crimson Lions, Rosanne conjures pure mana in the shape of a sphere, explaining that the Crimson Lions are defined by their power.
Sora goes on to ask more about what actually defines power, providing what she has been told can be defined as such. Rose agrees with the general gist of what Sora provides, but further accentuates that combat prowess is crucial to a Crimson Lion due to the nature of their duties. Sora then asks about Dungeons, and why they haven’t been wiped out from the lands of Clover. Rosanne explains that Dungeons can be taken down, but they are constantly appearing so it’d be impossible to get rid of them all. Rosanne also mentions that any strength she thinks is acceptable will be recruited into the Crimson Lions if she can help it, mentioning that her judge of character and strength is accurate because she pushed for the current Green Mantis Captain Samson to join the Magic Knights.
The next figure to approach Rosanne was Frozen Shogun, bowing out of respect to her. Despite his strange outfit, Rose paid it no attention and simply greeted him in kind. Frozen asks Rose for more details on Dungeons, allowing Rosanne to reflect on them some more and draw on memories. Frozen asks if the Crimson Lions explore Dungeons frequently, Rose answering that they do since they occasionally encounter them during their patrol routes on the outside of Clover civilization. She mentions that members of the Squad are allowed to quickly explore the Dungeon to map out some of the land before exiting and making a formal Dungeon Delve request.
Frozen understands, and then asks the Captain about any Dungeon that stood out to her. Rose laughs and says that something like that shouldn’t be discussed at a party, which Frozen interperpates that they have been disrespectful in some way to Rosanne and the gala. Rose clears the doubts, now explaining that a Dungeon that stood out to her would be too grim for a party such as this. Frozen nods, before bowing and leaving to talk to other Captains.
Rosanne is then approached by Zephyr and Gray Roland...

## Battle Prowess

### Magic

**Acceleration Magic**: The magic that Rosanne utilizes is known as **Acceleration Magic** 「加速魔法 *Kasoku Mahō*」, a form of magic that as suggested by its name, allows Rosanne to manipulate the acceleration of any moving object; whether that means increasing its movement speed or drastically slowing it down.

Acceleration Magic is one with immense potential and versatility, and when combined with Rosanne's immeasurable strength as well as her incredible speed results in an almighty opponent. With the magic, Rosanne has risen to the esteemed rank of Captain, highlighting her incredible usage of her magic.

The first prominent feature of Acceleration Magic would be the ability to increase the acceleration and thereby increase the speed of any moving object, be it living or a non-living object. With this Magic, Rosanne can slow down almost any tangible object in motion, including but not limited to: humans, weapons, and even certain magic spells. Of course, increasing the speed of any magic spell requires her to output the same amount or more mana than that actual spell, otherwise Rosanne is unable to increase its acceleration. It's the same situation with slowing down or deaccelerating a spell, Rosanne must produce the same amount of mana as the spell to push it back. Fortunately for Rosanne, she possesses a great well of magic power, often described as being massive, almost transcendant in nature.

The second prominent feature of Acceleration magic would be the ability to decreased the acceleration and thereby decrease the speed and any moving object, be it living or non-living. Rosanne's ability to 'deaccelerate' is highly useful, especially when utilized on living beings. Not only does it slow down the movement of another, but Rosanne can deaccelerate most bodily functions to the extent of making it almost impossible to live. However, when Rosanne slows down another's movements, she also slows down their magic flow to an extent. This results in Rosanne creating a delay in an opponents spell being cast, meaning she can avoid and counter with much more ease and poise than normally.

* **Curse Magic**: Despite the controversy floating around this form of magic...
* **Healing Magic**:
* **Reinforcement Magic**:
	+ **Mana Skin**: This technique of Reinforcement Magic has been honed and made into a powerful defence. It was originally taught to her by her grandfather, Cognac Vermillion, even before she had a Grimoire in order for her to find a way to properly control her unfathomable about of magical power within her. She has practised using her Mana Skin in all sorts of Grand Magic Zones, particularly the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail due to it having become the Crimson Lion’s main base. Because of this and due to her status as a Captain, very few in the Clover Kingdom are able to break past her Mana Skin.
* **Mana Zone**: A highly advanced mana control method, Rosanne has the capability of generating a Mana Zone of her own. The technique is designed to give the caster the ability to draw in more mana than they normally could and thereby allowing them to use more magic in a given area in order to increase the power of a spell, or even to increase it’s size, number and/or range. In respect to her Acceleration Magic, Rosanne’s Mana Zone allows her to increase her maximum speed, something that is already absurd. Furthermore because of this, she is able to cast spells at an even faster rate than normal. Her most used application of her Mana Zone is using it alongside a form of Curse Magic to forcibly slow down the opponent while maintaining her speed.

### Physical Prowess

**Tremendous Magic Power**: Often seen as one of her most prevalent features, Rosanne possesses an obscene amount of magic power. This not only stems from her lineage as a member of House Vermillion, a Royal family, but due to the extensive training she has gone in order to provide herself with an edge above the rest of the Royals. This was also done as a precaution, as her preferred form of combat heavily relies on the acceleration of herself via her magic, meaning she is constantly draining her own natural supplies. Furthermore, by having such a high amount of mana and at the volatility it’s at, makes her even more of a ridiculously difficult foe to deal with. When releasing her magic power, it often takes the shape of a pride of lions as if to further exemplify how insane the amount of mana within her is. And by releasing her magic power there is often an immense pressure that follows, almost drowning to those not around her level of strength. Zephyr notes that even when approaching a relaxed Rose, the latent magic power she is unconsciously emitting is enough to make him feel nauseous and weary of her.

**Absurd Strength**:

**Incredible Speed and Reflexes**: Her speed and reflexes are often expected to be as intense as they are. Not only does Rosanne possess naturally intense speed and reflexes, her Acceleration Magic is what is able to push that fact beyond that of what a normal mage could ever hope to achieve. By being able to gradually and/or suddenly increase her acceleration allows for her to be able to avoid incoming attacks with relative ease is what makes her a feared combatant on the battlefield, especially when combined with her immeasurable strength. Using her speed, she is able to cover large distances within seconds, often using this in combat to disconcert and quickly strike her opponents with seemingly invisible attacks, which had lead others to believe she had used some sort of pain-inflicting magic on them when in reality it was her ability to increase her own acceleration and in turn her speed to incredible levels. Using this magic, she is able to quickly and easily avoid attacks; which makes her up reflexes. However, in order to do such she needs to possess some form of unimaginable reflexes in order to register attacks, and has done so in order to avoid attacks at point-blank range. A prime example would be when she dodge a lightning magic spell which had been directed at her. She will often let spells near her until the last second and avoid them, doing such to demotivate and anger opponents. The Lioness is rumoured to be one of the fastest Captains, if not the absolute fastest even without her magic. Her speed and reflexes are practically unmatched. Of course, it takes time to reach this incredible level, having to gradually increase her own acceleration as the battle continues.

**Unnatural Endurance**:

**Immense Durability**

**Extraordinary Sight and Hearing**:

### Equipment

* **Grimoire**: Rosanne's grimoire is relatively simple and thin, which often leads to those who haven't heard of her to think of Rosanne as a weak mage. It has a three-leaf clover on its cover. She is able to user her magic without the aide of her Grimoire, but must use it for the more complicated spells.

* **Crimson Rite**: This massive "fanged" Zweihander is a Magic Weapon uncovered by Rosanne during a mission into the Heart Kingdom 10 years ago. The weapon weighs an absurd amount, resulting in Rose being one of few that are able to lift the blade, and an even smaller group to be able to properly wield the weapon in question. The blade of Crimson Rite appears to have been made from the carcass of a Magic Beast, making it far more unorthodox than any other Zweihander or even most swords entirely. Due to the material, the weapon is constantly “alive”, writhing and pulsing. When affected by the vibrations of her Acceleration Magic it causes the damage caused by weapon to be far more destructive, releasing shockwaves that tear through the ground and air itself.

* **Transformer's Diamond**: An item made by Madelynn, Captain of the Azure Deer, it has been fashioned into a Diamond Earring and allows Rose to utilize Transformation Magic to take on another appearance. But because it is through a magical item, Rose is only able to transform into a single form that she uses when wanting to explore where the commoner's live and to the Forsaken Realms, without drawing attention to herself.
