Spica Virgo

**Spica Virgo**「スピカ・ヴァルゴ, *Supika Varugo*?」is a student of Royal Diana Academy, and current possessor of the Rebirth Magic.

Sharing mutual benefits with Claude Sirius for herself to also become a top-class sorcerer, Spica is his student and later assigned to his coven - Pandora's Box. She is the main protagonist of *The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch*.

## Appearance

Spica is a petite girl with sakura pink hair reaching down to her chest. She usually wears her hair open with two thin pigtails held together by black bows. Her eyes are purple.

During school, Spica wears a standard Royal Diana Academy school uniform with a Virgo badge on the left side of her chest. She also wears thigh-high black socks.

Her casual outfits are usually comprised of various simple dresses.

Spica's wand is wooden with a spiral-like pattern at its base.

## Personality

Spica is a kind and caring girl, always looking out for others and making sure that everyone is happy. She is an empathetic person and tries to see the best in everyone. Spica is also very inspiring and manages to encourage her friends in the most difficult situations even if she is afraid herself. Her comforting and inspiring personality has a positive influence on the people around her, like causing Hana to open up or Ewe recovering her passion for magic. She is also very forgiving, as seen by her resolve to find common ground with her enemy Arc Turus, after hearing about her backstory from Claude.

Spica is very clumsy and often needs more attempts than her peers, which is especially prevalent next to her childhood friend Aria, perceived as a genius by everyone. Despite being fascinated by many different topics and wanting to improve, Spica often lacks basic knowledge, like the different types of magic affinity, and needs guidance from other people to get her off the ground.

Despite the fact that she hates learning from books, she is very committed to improving herself and is very stubborn at that. She always tries her best and may even put herself in harm's way to prove herself, like jumping off big ledges to learn how to fly, or launching herself from catapults to catch Lophorns in a competition. She is also a bit gullible and naive though, which comes down to her inexperience.

Spica is easily intimidated by stronger foes, but able to push through and face her fears. She has also shown quick thinking skills and is able to come up with elaborate plans in the middle of a battle. This fact alone made Arc realize that Spica may be a bigger threat to her organization than initially thought.

## Abilities

#### Virgo Magic

**Japanese:** 乙女座魔法ヴァルゴ・マジック *Varugo Majikku*

Spica uses Virgo magic, giving her control over plants. She can make different kinds of plants grow and even use them to form various objects like catapults or cages.

##### Anima

**Japanese:** 生命の息吹アニマ *Anima (Seimei no Ibuki)*
Spica accelerates a plant's growth. She often uses it to grow a vine-like plant which can catch and tangle her targets. Due to extensive practice, Spica can use it for many different purposes, including as protective walls or to attack her targets. It's an all-purpose spell that she always falls back to, initially causing her teachers to criticize her for a lack of creativity. Spica continues to use it in more and more innovate ways though, like creating a wooden puppet of herself as a decoy.

* **Human Catapult** (人にん間げん投石機カタパルト *Ningen Kataparuto*): With a plant generated from Anima, Spica forms a catapult, latches onto the throwing vine, and launches herself at great momentum to physically tackle her target. Due to the lack of Magic emission coming from her body, this technique allows Spica to quickly close in on a Lophorn and tackle it. This technique hurts Spica, causing bruises and nosebleeds, but doesn't damage her in any serious capacity due to her Rebirth Magic.
* **Wooden Birdcage** (木き々ぎの鳥とり籠かご *Kigi no Torikago*): With a plant generated from Anima, Spica forms a hemispheric cage. It is sizable enough to trap a newborn Griffon, which is larger than a regular human.

#### Rebirth Magic

**Japanese:** 再さい生せい魔ま法ほう *Saisei Mahō*
A very rare and powerful form of magic that grants the user abilities like enhanced durability, healing wounds, curing illnesses, and even reviving the dead. According to Arc, only one person can possess this magic at a time. Spica has obtained Rebirth Magic unknowingly, presumably around two years ago when Arc lost hers.

Rebirth Magic doesn't adhere to any constellation itself. Instead it works like an extension of the user's own constellation, as seen with Arc.

* **Enhanced Durability:** Spica is more resilient to physical damage, and heals from her injuries at a faster rate than other people. Thanks to this ability, Spica can risk using self-harming techniques like her Human Catapult, or fall from high cliffs with nothing but a mild nosebleed at the end.
* **Curse Break** (解呪カースブレイク *Kāsu Bureiku*): Spica is able to transfer her Magic Power into other beings, which allows her to reverse the effects of curses and other Rebirth Magic spells. For example, by kissing Claude's cat hind, Spica undoes the curse on him and temporarily returns him to human form. However, the curse will return to effect when Spica's mana runs out, either through Spica herself or Claude exhausting the Mana by using Magic. But if Spica manages to surpass the accursed's magic power, she would be able to break it permanently. Since Claude was cursed by Rebirth magic, Spica is also the only person able to understand him in his cat form.

#### Cross Magic

Virgo Magic is said to be very compatible with all other kinds of magic. Concentrating on Cross Magic would allow Spica to use magic from all zodiac, according to Professor Pegasus.

* **Efflorescent Equinox** (百ひゃっ華か彼ひ岸がん *Hyakka Higan*): A Cross Magic spell with Hana's Scorpio Magic. Hana synthesizes her poison into a plant seed Spica created. They then throw the synthesized seed onto a target, causing the seed to latch on and bloom into a poisonous lily orchid which continously poisons their target. Spica then uses her "Anima" to increase the amount of these flowers and rapidly spread poison through the target's body, eventually knocking them out.
* **Rose Arrow** (ローズアロー *Rōzu Arō*): A Cross Magic spell with Chiron's Sagittarius Magic. Spica uses Anima to create a bow with rose decorations, and an arrow with a flower bud for a tip. Shooting the arrow causes the bud to bloom and fire off destructive petals in all directions. Chiron then uses his wind magic to direct the petals and aim at a target. The attack is strong enough to damage Arc's umbrella, said to withstand explosions.

## Trivia

* Spica is named after the star of the same name, the brightest star in the consteallation of Virgo.
