Catrina Cavalrain

**Ishtar** 「イシュタル *Ishutaru*」 Also known as the **Living Sword Ishtar** is one of the Sovereign Arms created by Sabik Taedil Rakha and belonging to one of the Shining Generals, Catrina Cavalrain. She is a special kind of Magic Item, as she has been brought to life from Catrina's Life Magic herself, and serves as one of her personal living weapons that remain alive even outside of battle.

## Appearance

Ishtar is a massive backsword, its length almost matching its owner's height. The single-edged blade is broader than her arm and possesses a sharp point. A portion of the back of the blade near the point has been tempered into an edge. The flat exhibits the sharp contrast between the light edge and the dark back. A weapon which is undoubtedly meant to be wielded with both hands. The metal of the blade has been tempered to be incredibly resilient even when the latter has been unsheathed. Despite the fragile appearance of the guard, it is strong enough to withstand the shock of such a titanic clash. The sturdy hilt creeps up the blade and is screwed to it, reaching almost up to the first indentation. Part of the edge is left exposed and this piece of the hilt serves as a support. The lower portion of this support covers the width of the blade and slopes off to either side. The half of the base and the initial curve on the side of the edge of the blade are covered in leather for the convenience of the wielder as it makes for a much more comfortable and firm grasp. The curve at the end is reminiscent of the grip of a revolver and has a gauze embedded in it along its length.

## Personality

Ishtar is a highly arrogant and self centered girl. She has a habit of belittling others, considering everyone to be beneath Catrina, and, in general, beneath the Diamond Kingdom as a whole. However, she does not seem to care much for the Diamond Kingdom, the other Shining Generals, as she finds them all inferior to Catrina in every way.

Even towards her own creator, the Arch-General, Sabik himself doesnt appeal to his greatness in comparison to Catrina.

During battle, she constantly states that Catrina will easily win any fights she will ever be apart of. Praising her accomplishments

She is assured and confident in Catrina and her abilities, as evidenced by her title as one of the Shining Generals, believing her to be the strongest of them all.

Ishtar is sadistic, as she enjoys toying with weaker opponents, often grinning and laughing smugly at the misfortune of her enemies. This also includes Catrina's subordinates, as she will immediately demean them if they do anything that fails to meet her standards considering them to be unfit to be even in the same room as Catrina. She also takes enjoyment in toying and torturing her opponents. This extends to anyone she dislikes, as she looks down on other people and derives pleasure from belittling those she finds unworthy.

Her pride in Catrina is so great that she will do anything to prevent her reputation from being tarnished

Ishtar holds utmost pride in the diamond soliders as she believed not even a wizard king level mage could escape from their armada that comprised of the entire military force of the Diamond Kingdom, however if they somehow do end defeated, she will not be surprised by their failure, even berating them for simply giving in to their own weaknesses.

She holds the utmost loyalty to Catrina.

Much like other objects brought to life by Catrina's magic, Ishtar possesses a unique laugh: "Ohohoho" (オホホホ).
