"Hey, you're single right?"
Name: Cordula Rothschild Vennschneizen
Title(s): Father’s Perfect Doll, Glistening Go-Go Girl
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Alignment: Neutral Good
Rank:
Objective for the Grail: Every single magus should be friendlier to each other. Because goddamn.
Personality: “The Clock Tower’s pretty bad yeah. I wonder if I can use this Holy Grail wish to just change all of them to be nice people. Would help that they have less vengeful students that way, right?”
Cordula Vennschneizen seems to be the cheerful, helpful, friendly face in the Clock Tower, well… some of them anyway with the majority being complete discriminative bullies. She would often feel pity for any freshman that walk in here and having to deal with some of the seniors and their elitist gatekeeping about what’s needed in a magus. While the Clock Tower is the one of the only places to study Magecraft without being found out or hunted down by Church fanatics, she makes it a little easier for them since she too experienced it once she got in.
The girl rarely gets angry but she does get sad from time to time if it involves her family of course. Her father Klaus Vennschneizen and her mother Miriam Rothschild were a rarity in a community of magi. Both parents cared for her, groomed her and while teaching Magecraft, the other taught her manners befitting of a human. She believed that with great power (among normies) comes with great responsibility and that instead of abusing them for her own ends she’d rather help them where it counts.
Cordula is aware of the Mage’s Associations rules, particularly about revealing the secrecy of Magecraft to the World and she made sure to take every precaution of it… maybe a little too much. Whenever she’s outside talking to people, she would always go on a tangent and when it’s a slip of a tongue other people call her crazy or delusional. It’s also one of the reasons she can’t get a boyfriend or husband to continue the family line. She isn’t desperate… but if she wants to fulfill her Papa’s dreams of having a line of moralistic magi then she musn’t fail.
Biography: In another life, she was killed off mysteriously and her very being was replaced with three homunculi created by a desperate father to bring his only Perfect Doll back from the dead.
Good thing that didn’t happen in this one. Cordula Vennschneizen was born to a father of an up-and-coming mage family and to a mother who claims to be the only survivor of a magus family that collapsed due to infighting over who gets to keep the crest. Of the two parents, only the Father has the crest who later passed it on to her in her youth.
Being born as the fourth generation and new head of the German family she was quickly taught by her father many lessons about magecraft. Mainly about the basics and the Alchemy that he specializes in. At the same time she was taught how to be a good person, homeschooled only by her mother until she grew up to be in middle school in a public school around their area. Surrounded by friends that support her, most of her childhood growing up with the teachings in Mystery and School Life seemed smooth for the most part it was also during this time she decided to uncover the knowledge of the crest passed down to her and began experimenting with that knowledge just until after her graduation.
Her father wanted her to enroll at the Clock Tower. Her mother disagreed initially but after a sit-down, she eventually caved in and allowed it. Cordula didn’t have a letter of recommendation to get in but during her trial she was one of the few who passed and made it in. Her nightmare of a school life began at the Clock Tower as well before enrolling for Creation. Most of her freshmen were inevitably pressured into doing despicable things to gain status within the ranks of the Clock Tower, filled with doubt she tried to consult with her parents back home only to tell her to try and endure it for a few years.
Instead of enduring it, she adapted to it. Influenced a little bit by the student body around the Clock Tower including the teachers, she’s gotten used to it enough to fire back her own insults, set up simple counter curses when necessary and tried hard not to fall too deep into the hateful life of London Magi.
During her time there, she would often hear rumor of a ritual that supposedly grants wishes. She and her new pompous attitude decided to bravely explore this ritual in the Far East and get that selfish wish of hers. What could go wrong?
Magic Circuit Switch: The sound of a flute being played.
Number of Magic Circuits: C
Quality of Magic Circuits: B
Elemental Affinity: Average One
Origin: Scatter or Implode
Magecraft:
General Magecraft - Taught by her father and later improved its practice upon enrolling in the Clock Tower. Although she is a student studying in the Creation Department, honing some basic craft didn’t hurt anyone once in a while.
Alchemy - Also taught inherently by her Father. It is possible to change her limbs into various types of metals, making for an effective defense against any magi looking to fight her in close combat while her body parts act as a shield. The range doesn’t only affect her, it also affects whatever she touches accompanied by a single-worded chant in German set by her so long as the object is a solid.
She has enough understanding to work on her own Mystic Codes although while they aren’t too impressive or on the grand scale of things Atlas would have their eyes on… making Mystic Eye Killers in the form of shades is so much better than the four-eyes getup.
Because of her classmates in Creation. She took interest in Coining and had begun experimenting in different methods over three years ago. While all of her homunculi aren’t human-sized or even look human for that matter. Hers was smaller-scaled as it used to be and It’s enough to warrant a “pet” that she made to show off.
Self-Defense Martial Arts: Jujutsu - One of the prominently modern takes on martial arts. Cordula has used this form in Close Combat Training as a course in the Clock Tower for Self-Defense, she finds this less aggressive style more useful compared to the other offensive styles that most magi use. By using your attacker’s aggressiveness, one could utilize their momentum against them and this even works against armed foes.
Not so much for Servants however, even at Rank E. It’s too much for Cordula.
Elemental Magecraft - A piece of knowledge stored in the Vennschneizen Crest before her father’s generation. It provides an understanding of Elemental Magecraft based on one’s elemental affinity. Since Cordula is an Average One, it is possible for her to tune with all of the elements she has an affinity with.
In this case. Her Earthen Magecraft is focused on reshaping solid objects to any form she imagines within her head provided that the object she’s trying to reshape has enough to form into the exact shape she wants. The larger the scale, the more prana she exhausts. Knowledge from her first-generation ancestor.
Her Fire Magecraft is focused on melting objects. Depending on the size of the object and where she is, melting speed varies. The resulting liquid form could be used in her special kind of craft: Lebbenwaffe or Living Weapons. The faster she wants to melt an object, the more mana she has to exhaust.
Her Water Magecraft is focused on freezing or solidifying objects. In the same way as her Fire Magecraft’s melting procedure, her freezing is the same way. The faster she wants to freeze something, the more mana she has to exhaust.
Her Wind Magecraft is focused on pocketing air. Useful in underwater explorations or quite simply hiding underwater. It is also useful for interrogation, by simply limiting or pocketing the air inside a man’s throat, one could easily choke them to death or incapacitate them at the very least. Holding even a small air pocket in place could drain one’s mana and it’s dangerous if it’s on a larger scale. Knowledge from her second-generation ancestor.

Lebbenwaffe - Translated as Living Weapons. Cordula could create weaponized familiars from her Elemental Affinity where it works in accordance to her Origin: to implode and scatter. Since she has an affinity in all five of them it is possible to create varying weaponized and familiars representing each element. This particular magecraft can be straining on her part. Like a puppet master, she would need to focus their “strings” or they get tangled up and mix in with each other making for a bad show.
She can create at most five critters such as birds, insects, and rodents that can be used as surveillance or bombs that could detonate at any time on her command, at most two medium-sized animals such as dogs, cats, etc with ridiculous attachments or a single large animal such as a horse, a bull, a lion etc with a little something extra, this also includes a life-sized human. While It’s possible to mix between critters and medium-sized animals (3 critters, 1 medium-sized animal) it is never possible with large animals as they require a singular focus to be active.
Earth and Fire Living Weapons - Metal or Wood that can be set ablaze.
Water and Wind Living Weapons - Slimes that can be gelatinous or frozen solid.

Magic Crest: 133 Years of Knowledge is stored within Cordula’s crest since the Unification of Germany in 1871. Cordula is designated as the fourth-generation and current heir of the Vennschneizen family.
Equipment:
Mystic Eye Killers: Cordula Black - A pair of mystic eye killers that she worked on during her freeform Creation classes at the Clock Tower. She just replaced the transparent lens with tinted black lens made from the same material. It poses the same effect as the original Mystic Eye Killers where they nullify the activation of Mystic Eyes against her but with a sense of style.
Silk Strands - A Mystic Code inherited from her father that works as a non-lethal trap meant to bind an intruder in reinforced strands of hair to keep them in place or choke them. It comes with crossbow-like mechanisms that when tripped fire several strands of such a material that cover a small room.
