[indent]
An incredibly studious appearing individual, Nero tends to come off as the sort that one might expect to be within some sort upperclassmen that one would look up to. Cool, collected, and often able to reconcile the difference between others before conflict arises. 

This is just their surface personality though. In reality, Nero is a useless, selfish individual who does everything in their power to hedonistically enjoy themselves while placing forward the least amount of effort in any given situation to look as presentable as possible. They often intelligently go about any scenario they find themselves in order to expand the least amount of mental and physical energy while still presenting themselves as a self-proclaimed “Cute, reliable senpai” to her cohorts and friends. 

Even if Nero would rather sleep the day away, if there was something that currently caused her inflated sense of justice to peak, she would do anything in her power to provide at least respite to the lost lambs before her with a friendly smile, but secretly finding the whole situation to be a waste of her time in her mind. Likely due to likely missing one of her television programs.

[sub][b]History[/b][/sub]
[indent]​Nero Etheldreda Kagami was orphaned at a young age when her parents, her father being an international trader from Japan and her mother being a fortune teller from Cagliari, were on a trip in Northern Scandinavia. The boat they were on was hijacked and they were killed in the process to a band of pirates. There were no relatives that could take the young girl in, her parents having made enemies of their family after their marriage was disapproved by both sides.

Living off the streets for a few years of her life in her home of Sicily, being called a street urchin and all kinds of insults, the young lady was taken the Catholic Church due to her natural power, even before becoming a mage, to feel the thrum of the spirits, which she tended to “feel” were not malicious, though there were malicious spirits she had met and that she avoided. 

Serving years under the banner of the Catholic Church, eventually, Nero was assigned to infiltrate a certain church, but decided to revoke their previous ties with the Catholic Church and join this organization seemingly out of the blue. 

Currently, her oh-so-great leader had informed her of a plan to infiltrate academy city, though due to an unfortunate communication error, the two have been separated since infiltration. 

Isn’t it sad?

[Indent][b][i]
A variation on spiritual possession; the ability to intake oneself upon the “frequencies” of the aether. To rewrite the “self” with “something”. In that sense, it is also a means of self-modification utilizing temporary states of existences to fulfill a purpose. In Nero’s case, this takes effect as the ability to channel “spirits” into oneself. Similar to the Nympholepts of ancient Greece. To possess oneself with a “spirit”; a frequency dialed in. However, with the introduction of Christianity to Greece, the meaning of this had been muddied through the shared foundation. 

In Nero’s case, it is the ability to “feel” the thrum of the spirits beside her and “accept” this thrum into oneself. In other words, the ability to have a “spirit” affect oneself and to take on the characteristics provided by said spirit. Though the body is kept, it becomes “tainted” by the addition of “others”, and after a while causes irreparable changes, becoming the new “self”. Classification for what constitutes a spirit simply is an existence who is able to grant access to their frequency for the duration of time.

Currently, Nero has contracted the four existences of pure elements, the Sylvestris, the Gnomus, the Undina, and the Vulcanus, better known as the Sylph, Gnome, Undyne, and Salamander as proposed by alchemist Paracelsus; the “pure” definition of those elements. 

Nero is also known to have the ability to contract with existences such as wraiths in order to obtain information, obtain greater strength, or obtain knowledge of subjects, though wraiths require an agreement to be forged between herself and the residual existence. If she has the means to focus their desire towards something, she can truly shine in this regard.

[sub][b]Magical Items[/b][/sub]
[indent][b][i]A deck of tarot cards left by her mother. Holds sentimental value and not much else.[/i][/b][/indent]

[sub][b]Expertise[/b][/sub]
[indent]An absolute NEET with little redeeming qualities, though they are rather skilled in terms of technology compared to the average mage as an unfortunate side effect. 

Well-versed in history and magical foundations, primarily focusing on Western (European) Thaumaturgy and history.

Can clean well, given that was one of her primary jobs as a Sister in the monastery. This extends minorly to her cooking, which could be considered “above average” in most cases similar to a mother in that regard.

Rather snappy when it comes to quips and figuring out plans during stressful situations, though would rather not be in that situation, to begin with.

Skilled at reading maps and understanding the lay of the land, though due to their insistence on not going outside, this skill is hardly used.

[indent]Roman Catholic Church: While previously friendly, Nero’s sudden departure seems to have left a rather sour taste in the mouths of a few members, while others are simply worried for her well-being, having been a rather respected individual within said organization.
