Mara Noctis

**Mara Noctis** (マラ・ノクティス *Mara Nokutisu*) is an S-Class Mage of the Forgotten Phoenix Guild wherein she is a member of Team Ashix

## **Appearance**

Mara is a slender young woman of slightly taller than average height, and a lithe body. She has steel grey eyes and deep purple hair, most often seen pulled back into a pony tail.

Her most common attire consists of a tight shiny black top, high waisted shorts, and knee high boots. Despite not consistently wearing the same outfit, Mara is never seen without her necklace, which resembles a clear ball with white dreamsand inside.

Mara’s guild mark is over her heart on her left pectoral and is black in color. After obtaining her Devil Slayer Magic, she gains a tattoo to symbolize the magic wrapped around her right hand.

## **Magic / Abilities**

**Dream Make** (​​ドリームメイク *Dorīmumeiku**)***: A form of Molding Magic that allows the user to create Dreamsand at her will and to shape it into objects. In Mara’s case, she uses a mix of Dynamic and Static Dream-Make, meaning she can shape her dreamsand into animated things, such as people or animals, as well as weapons. Dream-Make is known as an extremely versatile form of Magic, coming in useful both in battle, for offensive and defensive purposes, and outside of it. Specializing in it and having been practicing it for years, Mara possesses extreme mastery over it, being capable of creating countless amounts of objects for a multitude of uses. As a Dream-Make user, Mara is an individual resistant to Sleep Magic

* **Dream-Make Mimic:** Mara creates a double of her body out of dreamland as a feint against her opponents.
* **Dream-Make Saber:** Mara creates several sabers out of dreamsand for melee combat. They rotate around her to parry oncoming attacks. The sword is very durable, being capable of cutting and parrying other weapons as if it were made of meta
* **Dream-Make Scimitar:** Mara creates a scimitar out of dreamsand for melee combat. The sword is very durable, being capable of cutting and parrying other weapons as if it were made of meta
* **Dream-Make NightMare:** Mara shoots her hand forward, creating lifesized NightMares that run towards her opponents, knocking them down. It makes for an excellent ranged attack.

**Dream Magic** (夢魔法 *Yume Mahō*): A subset of Sleep Magic, Dream Magic is the power to utilize magic involving dreams and nightmares.

**Dream Slayer:** Nightmare Devil Slayer Magic (悪夢滅悪魔法 *Akumu Metsuaku Mahō*): A form of Devil Slayer Magic that Mara can manifest at will which allows her to produce, manipulate and control the element of ice. Like other Slayers, Mara is able to consume external sources in order to replenish her strength and enhance her power while at the same time granting immunity to it. Unlike the other elemental Slayers, however, Mara must rely on consuming the dreams of others, only being able to feed on those sleeping. After feeding, the person of origin will experience a dreamless sleep. Because of this, Mara keeps previously harvested Dreams on her. This form of Magic is extremely powerful and effective against Demons.

To some degree, it appears that Devil Slayers have the ability to resist the effects of Curses (or at least the "Ultimate Curse" Memento Mori). It has also been suggested that Devil Slayer Magic is a very fickle Magic, and that learning it too quickly and making use of its properties in rapid succession can have adverse effects on such as becoming afflicted with black markings that spread across the users body. Mara is proficient enough in this Magic to encase an enemy in  a nightmare of their own design. She also can use this Magic to boost the power of her Dream-Make. One of the most effective aspects of this type of Magic is its ability to cause everything within a large radius to fall asleep with a mere flick of the wrist.

**Keen Intellect**: Mara has proven herself to be a very intelligent, logical and intuitive Mage. Being an avid reader, she has also shown to be adept at solving words-related puzzles and riddles: she is able to read spells quickly to work out their true content. Mara also uses her intellect as an advantage to help herself and friends in winning battles by tricking her opponents. A trained behavioral analysis specialist and as a side-effect of her power usage, Mara is extremely adept at reading microexpressions, posture, and speech in order to analyze her opponents.

**Expert Weapons Specialist:** Mara has displayed considerably great ability in wielding the weapons produced by her Dream-Make spells. She has shown to be an expert at marksmanship, using needles as her weapon as choice to paralyze and subdue her opponents, as well as using her dream bow to shoot arrows from great distances with pinpoint accuracy. She is also very skilled in swordsmanship particularly with her scimitar and saber.

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Mara possesses great skill in hand-to-hand combat, though often avoids it when she can. She specializes in martial arts style fighting and is capable of packing powerful punches and kicks, using the Phoenix Eye Fist in conjunction with her needles to render her opponent powerless.

**Enhanced Durability:** Mara has also displayed tremendous durability during battle. Despite her apathetic and sleepy appearance, she manages to continue fighting after being hit continuously after being hit with dozens of energy blasts as well as using up her own magical stamina.

**Immense Agility:** Mara is frequently shown to be very fast and agile. She is shown to have the acrobatic prowess and strength to move several meters in the air by jumping from one wall to the other. Mara is often seen flipping over her more steadfast partner, Bones, and leaping from various heights. She moves fast enough to not be seen by XX.

**Immense Magic Power:** As an S-Class Mage of the Forgotten Guild, Senka possesses an enormous amount of Magic Power.
