## Personality

Memony presents herself as a silent and reserved individual, often enveloped in a cloud of pessimistic thoughts and plagued by low self-confidence. Despite her striking appearance, her expression tends to exude melancholy, and genuine smiles or displays of joy are a rare occurrence in her distinctive pink eyes. It seems that Memony struggles with believing in herself, constantly belittling her own abilities and underestimating her worth.

Raum Thurman, an astute observer of Memony's behavior, notices this lack of self-assurance. He recognizes that she lacks faith in her own abilities and potential. This self-doubt becomes a barrier for Memony, preventing her from fully embracing her unique qualities and finding fulfillment. However, despite her reserved nature and self-deprecating tendencies, Memony possesses a contrasting side to her personality. When it comes to expressing her thoughts and opinions, she can be remarkably direct and straightforward. She doesn't hesitate to confront others when necessary, displaying a sense of assertiveness that surprises those who know her primarily as a quiet individual. This ability to speak her mind, even in the face of discomfort, reveals her underlying strength and determination.

Alongside her straightforwardness, Memony exhibits a hint of possessiveness in her interactions, particularly when it concerns Raum. She becomes pouty and shows signs of discontent whenever another girl encroaches on the closeness she shares with him. This possessiveness might stem from a fear of losing the limited connection she feels she has with someone who understands her on a deeper level.

## Background

Memony grew up in a small, close-knit community nestled in the outskirts of the city. She was raised in a family that emphasized traditional values and placed a strong emphasis on academic success. However, Memony's introverted nature and tendency to overanalyze situations led her to struggle with self-confidence from a young age. As a child, Memony often found solace in books and imaginative worlds. She developed a deep love for literature and storytelling, which allowed her to escape into realms where she could explore different perspectives and emotions. This passion for literature became a refuge for her, offering a temporary respite from her own insecurities.

Throughout her school years, Memony's reserved nature made it challenging for her to form close friendships. She often felt like an outsider, observing the dynamics between her peers from a distance. Memony's distinctive appearance, marked by her pink eyes, green hair, and unique glasses, further set her apart from her classmates, making her feel even more self-conscious. While she excelled academically, Memony's pessimistic mindset overshadowed her achievements. She constantly doubted her abilities and feared failure, leading her to downplay her successes and attribute them to luck or circumstance. These negative thought patterns became deeply ingrained, shaping her worldview and reinforcing her lack of self-confidence.

Raum Thurman, a fellow student who recognized Memony's struggles, reached out to her, drawn to her enigmatic presence and unique perspective. They would become acquainted in their interest in magecraft; from acquaintances to friends, from friends to lovers, providing Memony with a sense of understanding and acceptance she had rarely experienced before. Raum's unwavering support and belief in her potential became a lifeline, slowly chipping away at her self-doubt and encouraging her to challenge her own negative perceptions.

After honing Reinforcement, Memony learned to restrain her power at will. With further development, she was acknowledged by important figures and ranked as a Saint-class Magi.

* **Efficient Spellcasting**: Memony uses Truncated Incantations and Thaumaturgical Circles to reduce the time she takes to cast a spell. In the Department of Martial Thaumaturgy, she was taught that spellcasting should be intuitive and spontaneous. To that end, Memony has honed her ability to distill the essence of complex incantations, removing any superfluous or redundant phrases while preserving the essential components necessary for the spell to take effect. By doing so, she can significantly reduce the time spent on chanting lengthy incantations, enabling her to cast spells swiftly and seamlessly. In addition to Truncated Incantations, Memony employs Thaumaturgical Circles to expedite her spellcasting process. These geometric patterns serve as a focal point for channeling and directing Animus. By inscribing these circles in advance or creating temporary ones on the spot, Memony establishes a pre-established connection with the magical forces present in her surroundings. This connection allows for a faster transfer and utilization of Animus when casting spells.

* **Abjuration**: Memony's intricate journey with Abjuration began under unique circumstances, shaped by her father's resourcefulness in navigating the challenging streets due to their complicated financial situation. He imparted upon her the knowledge and methods he had acquired, laying the foundation for her expertise in Abjuration spells. As the core of her magical repertoire, Abjuration became an integral part of Memony's life.
	+ **Healing**: Her proficiency in Healing Magecraft surpassed the boundaries of minor wounds and scratches, extending to the realm of serious injuries and ailments.

Her training in Purification enabled her to break and eliminate malevolent enchantments and hexes, freeing individuals from the clutches of dark magic. Furthermore, Memony honed her skills in purifying cursed objects, restoring them to their original state or rendering them harmless.
	+ **Protection**: Although Protection was initially taught to Memony as a means of self-defense, her path took an unexpected turn after joining the Department of Martial Thaumaturgy. She transformed the defensive nature of traditional Protection spells into an offensive mechanism known as Assault Protection. Rather than creating protective barriers around herself, she now manifested barriers and launched them as formidable projectiles. The barriers can vary in size and shape, depending on the situation and her intentions. They can take the form of shimmering spheres, razor-sharp discs, or even elongated javelins of mystical energy. Each barrier carries the immense kinetic force and destructive potential, capable of incapacitating or damaging her foes upon impact. It is worth noting that Assault Protection, while potent and formidable, requires a delicate balance of focus, precision, and magical energy. Memony's training and experience allow her to maintain control over her barriers, preventing them from unintentionally harming innocent bystanders or causing collateral damage. Her mastery of this unorthodox form of Abjuration demonstrates her adaptability and resourcefulness, making her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

## Equipment

As one of the most gifted students in the Department of Botany, Memony is able to harness the power of exotic and esoteric herbs, synthesizing potions with remarkable effects. Through her extensive knowledge of herbalism, Memony identifies and collects a wide array of rare and unconventional plant species. These plants possess unique properties, some of which have been passed down through ancient folklore or discovered through her own exploration and experimentation. Drawing upon her skills in herbalism, she skillfully combines these diverse botanical ingredients to create potent and specialized potions.

Each synthesized potion serves a specific purpose, tailored to address various needs and situations. Beneficial potions crafted by Memony are imbued with the healing and enhancing properties of the herbs she utilizes. These potions can augment physical attributes, boost stamina, or provide temporary resistance against certain elements or afflictions. They can be administered to injured allies to accelerate their recovery, granting them renewed vitality and aiding in their return to the battlefield. Additionally, these potions may offer enhanced focus, heightened senses, or even temporary boosts to magical abilities, making them invaluable tools for Memony and her comrades. On the other hand, Memony also possess harmful potions, designed to incapacitate or weaken her opponents. By harnessing the toxic or venomous properties of certain herbs, she creates potions that can induce paralysis, inflict debilitating ailments, or diminish an opponent's magical prowess. These potions may cause confusion, weakness, or even temporary loss of coordination, providing Memony with a strategic advantage in combat. When combined with her offensive abilities, these harmful potions allow her to exploit the vulnerabilities of her adversaries and turn the tide of battle in her favor.
