Allies

Elizalina

Voiced by: Naomi Shindo (Japanese), Mikaela Krantz (English)

The leader of the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations and the twin sister of the Maiden of Versailles.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Since her magic is also based on the Right Hand's principles, she was able to affect Fiamma's Holy Right, if only temporarily.
Barrier Warrior: She's able to cast a defensive spell powerful enough to partially block an attack from Fiamma.
Egopolis: She's not a dictator, but the Alliance of Independent Nations was named after/in honor of her.
Foil: To her sister, the Maiden of Versailles. Both of them lead nations, one of them manipulating people behind the scenes and the other helping nations prosper. One of them is skilled with warfare, while the other is an intelligent woman who helped her nation become independent and prosperous. Finally, one of them is a highly skilled magician, while the other is merely average in skill.
The Medic: She's the one who heals Takitsubo. However, she can't heal Last Order.
Power Glows: When she casts her defensive spell against Fiamma, her body glows a pale white.
White Magician Girl: In contrast to the Maiden of Versailles, who wields a sword.

Leivinia Birdway

Regnum771

Voiced by: Yo Taichi (Japanese), Ariel Graham (English)

She's a quirky 12-year-old girl whose magical prowess has earned her many invitations to other organizations, which she flatly rejected. Instead, she leads her own magical organization, the Dawn-Colored Sunlight. She plays a major part of New Testament 3.

A Child Shall Lead Them: She is the leader of the 10,000 strong magic cabal Dawn-Colored Sunlight.
A-Cup Angst: As Fremea demonstrated, Leivinia doesn't take it well when others remind her she doesn't have boobs big enough to fill a bra.
Fremea: And I wear a bra, so I'm essentially the winner.
Leivinia: What are you trying to do!? Are you trying to pick a fight with me, you damn brat!?!?!?
Ascended Extra: Kamachi said that she is his favorite character and was literally squealing in his author's notes when she appeared in New Testament Volume 1.
Awesome, but Impractical: Flintlock pistols have one shot and take a long time to load the bullet, powder, and wadding. She uses them because she thinks they are really cool.
Bad Boss: Abuses poor Mark like there's no tomorrow.
Berserk Button: She picked a fight with Kanzaki Kaori in the Norse Mythology SS over her breast size.
Big Damn Heroes: She's the one who finds and saves Touma at the end of WWIII after he goes missing taking down the Star of Bethlehem and Gabriel, revealed directly in New Testament and shown in the Episode 26 of the third season.
Bitch Slap: She slaps Shiage, because he was sleepy during her course of magic, and that he brought up a certain subject that pisses her off.
Bullying a Dragon: Taunts Aleister Crowley by pointing out how the changing circumstances have derailed his plans and how, in spite of this, he can't take action to correct those problems because that carries the risk of derailing his plans even further. His response is to cut a few strands of hair off of her head to show that he was listening to her and at the same time providing proof for her theory in how he didn't simply decapitate her instead.
Car Fu: Rams a tanker truck into Cendrillon.
Combat Pragmatist: Will do anything to win, including psychological warfare and wielding a flintlock pistol.
Comedic Sociopathy: Her sadistic tendencies are mostly played for laughs...but to that note, she is stated to hold (tentatively) "[T]he #3 spot in the super sadist world rankings," according to Touma.
Cruel to Be Kind: At one point, Silvia insinuates that Leivinia acts so cruel to Touma in an attempt to force him to stay out of the fight with GREMLIN out of a lingering feeling of regret for betraying his trust. Leivinia, already driven up the wall by Silvia's previous insinuations of her seeing Touma like a brother or even "the older neighborhood boy" she relies on moving on and leaving her behind, tries to attack her for it, but never actually denies it either.
Early-Bird Cameo: Only appeared shortly in cameos in Volumes 18 and 22, Episodes 25 and 26 of the third season of the anime adapting events of the latter, and for obscure short stories before finally appearing in a bigger role in New Testament. She actually first meets Touma in a manga short story set way before her appearance in the main canon. And yes, he sees her naked.
Easily Forgiven: Touma doesn't seem to care that she indirectly caused the incident in Baggage City and betrayed his trust.
Esoteric Motifs: Her wand changes into the symbols of the suits of the Minor Arcana tarot, which consists of the usual wand, cup, sword, and disk.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She can easily enter the mindset of politicians and master schemers like Aleister Crowley to predict their actions and motivations. However, Touma's drive to help and protect others without expecting any reward or having any ulterior motives makes absolutely no sense to her. She eventually concludes that he is insane.
Good Is Not Nice: She's rude, arrogant, condescending, manipulative, and sadistic. Yet her motives and her love for her younger twin sister ultimately make her a good person.
The Gadfly: Enjoys trolling everybody.
Groin Attack: On Touma upon his return to Academy City at the end of volume 1 of New Testament.
Hard Work Hardly Works: Subverted. Leivinia's spells rely on her having executed the same movements again and again over a long period of time until the movements themselves became magical symbols that she could use to cast her spells stronger every time. According to Touma, she is the ultimate example of the passionate hard worker, getting power through effort and application. However, this has made her something of a one trick pony, unable to improvise or vary her tactics that much, as a new spell would start much weaker than the ones she already has.
He Who Fights Monsters: Touma claims that by manipulating and hurting countless others in the name of defeating GREMLIN, her group and herself will be no different and will simply become the world's next enemy.
Honor Before Reason: She refuses to use the more practical modern guns because of the standard magician's contempt for science and because modern guns are not as cool as flintlock pistols.
I Am Not Left-Handed: After her battle with Touma, Silvia points out that Leivinia only relied on the minor arcana for her spells and suggests that if she used the major arcana, then she could have turned the tables on him.
The Idealist: Played with. Birdway genuinely wants to save people and do it in the best way possible, and her logic helps to shape Hawaii and Baggage City in NT3 and NT4 respectively. In her confrontation with Touma in NT7, one where she incidentally holds back, he points out that she could have circumvented most of the events that occurred had she used Touma as bait, something that she had considered but did not want to do to him.
Jerkass: She's kind of a dick to everyone but her sister, especially her subordinates and Touma.
Like Brother and Sister: Silvia accuses her of seeing Touma as her ideal big brother, alongside other things. While it finally got her to snap and threaten Silvia, she never did deny it either.
Little Miss Badass: She has the ability to create explosions by channeling Telesma — and Telesma is not for everyone, to say the least. Poor Acqua...
- She doesn't channel Telesma through her body. Her Summon Explosion is basically described as her skipping over the normally complex prep work that goes into using Telesma correctly and instead carries out her spell with nothing more than intuition. Basically, it's as though she pulled off an incredibly precise feat of engineering while simply eyeballing the measurements.
- She has a level of power comparable to that of a Saint, despite being an ordinary magician. She has even fought Kanzaki to a draw on at least one occasion.
Manipulative Bastard: She basically screwed over and destabilized the Science Side by having Accelerator, Mikoto, and Touma interfere with the activities on Hawaii, without Aleister's manipulations to prevent it, just to bait GREMLIN into moving.
Morality Pet: She consistently shows concern for her little sister and was willing to die for her in NT 14. She also feels bad about betraying Touma and doesn't do her best when fighting him in NT 6 as a result and earlier is legitimately horrified when he's accidentally shot by Anti-Skill and does her best to apply first aid to him.
Mr. Exposition: In New Testament Volume 2. She spends half the novel explaining magic to Accelerator and Shiage (Umidori eavesdropped on the conversation).
Not So Above It All: She might be very mature for her age and leading a magic cabal, but she still sleeps with a nightlight, is sensitive about her yet-to-be developed chest, and is fully willing to get into arguments about whether or not Santa Claus is real with Fremea.
Odd Friendship: She and Accelerator have excellent chemistry. He might be replacing Mark Space at this rate.
Pretentious Latin Motto: Regnum771 — meaning Kingdom.
The Profiler: Her cabal specializes in analyzing the thoughts and motives of those in leadership positions.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Does this to Aleister. It. Is. GLORIOUS.
Reverse Psychology: A good example is during the NT Volume 2 epilogue, towards Accelerator.
Shoot the Dog: Her policy toward anyone dangerous. In NT Volume 6, Touma opposes her in her attempt to kill Fraulein Kreutune. He says it doesn't matter that Fraulein has uncontrollably become a cannibal, he calls Birdway out on not considering other options for solving the problem.
Smug Super: She's incredibly arrogant, but given her power, brains and feats during the story it's hard not to argue she's earned the right to be a little smug with herself.
Sphere of Destruction: Her Telesma bombs.
Take Over the World: Her organization wants to remove the distinctions between Science and Magic, then rule over both worlds.
Tarot Motifs: This seems to be a common factor amongst Golden Style magicians as they use the symbols and suits of the tarot to shape their magic.
- Playing with Fire: The staff or wand suit.
- Blow You Away: The sword suit.
- Making a Splash: The cup or chalice suit.
- Dishing Out Dirt: The coin suit.
Token Evil Teammate: She's actually quite cruel and incredibly manipulative, which causes a rift between her and Touma when she knowingly causes the cooperative institutions to cut ties with Academy City, which indirectly causes a massacre in Baggage City when Academy City tries to put down the separatists and gets into a fight with Gremlin, which was using Baggage City for their own purposes. Though she feels bad about betraying Touma's trust, she continues to readily apply her methods.
Weak, but Skilled: Leivinia is a pretty strong magician capable of fighting a Saint like Kaori Kanzaki head-on, a feat not many magicians can replicate. However, her magic power on its own is not that great. The raw power of her spells is a result of constantly casting the same few spells in the exact same way with the exact same motions, thus turning her movements into magic symbols that boost her own magic. She's also able to summon and use Telesma on the fly, something magicians need rituals and ceremonies to do. When discussing a criminal magic cabal she even demonstrates the difference on their levels of skill by drawing a simple charm to create food in about 15 seconds of work, mentioning the cabal would need to use up 3 whole kids to create a single copy.
Wham Line: At the end of New Testament 3 she openly states that she's been using Touma and that their interests only temporarily align.
Birdway: “I don’t recall ever saying I stood on the side of justice, boy.”

Mark Space

Amare091

Levinia Birdway's personal assistant and a member of Dawn-Colored Sunlight.

Beleaguered Assistant: Really suffers under his boss' demands.
Blow You Away: The Sword suit, Mark's specialty, allows him to manipulate wind. Each card of the suit casts a different spell, so Mark has 14 different wind spells.
Pretentious Latin Motto: Armare091
Super-Speed: He was able to block an attack aimed at Patricia Birdway and then move back to his original position without her noticing his movements.
Tarot Motifs: Like most members of Dawn-Colored Sunlight Mark uses the symbolism of tarot cards to cast magic.

Arc Antagonists

Aureolus Izzard

Honos628 — My Honor is For the World

Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (JP), Jason Liebrecht (EN)

An alchemist who was Index's bodyguard in the past. He specializes in Ars Magna, a way of bringing thoughts into reality.

Alchemy Is Magic: Aureolus is a magician and an alchemist, but his alchemist techniques are merely another style/type of magic.
Arc Villain: Of the "Deep Blood" arc.
Bodyguard Crush: Fell in love with Index while he was her guardian.
Clone Angst: In the Light Novels, he created a homunculus in his image through alchemy that had all his memories and believed it was actually him. It had Limen Magna: a Hook Hand and a dart on a Variable-Length Chain that turned anything it touched to gold. It went berserk but was defeated by Touma and Stiyl. Stiyl regretfully Mercy Killed it, as it was nearing the end of its life cycle anyway.
Code Name: Honos628
Elemental Hair Colors: He dyed his hair green in order to gain better control of the Earth element, which is the element that governs his alchemy powers.
Evil Counterpart:
- According to the author, he's Touma if he had failed to save Index in Volume 1.
- He's also one to Stiyl Magnus as both of them care deeply for Index and are magicians' who are Younger Than They Look.
Evil Laugh: Pulls a nasty one when his Villainous Breakdown begins and again when he slices off Touma's arm. Then Touma cuts him off with an eviler laugh.
The Gunslinger: Has an odd preference for 19th-century pistols, summoning several in his battle with Touma.
Famous Ancestor: A direct descendant of famous Renaissance alchemist Paracelsus.
Imagination-Based Superpower: The effectiveness of his reality-warping Ars Magna depends on his imagination and confidence.
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Conjures up a gun against Touma, but fires wildly, explaining that he wants to drag the fight out and make it as painful as possible.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: His final fate is to have his appearance and memories changed. Stiyl considers Aureolus "dead", since he's basically another person now.
Love Makes You Evil: His obsession with Index led him to do incredibly depraved things.
Meaningful Appearance: His hair is green, as mages with an earth-alignment can dye their hair green to enhance their connection to the earth.
More Dakka: Makes his gun turn into dozens of gun barrels, all connected.
My Greatest Failure: Similarly to Stiyl, his failure to save Index without erasing her memories is his greatest regret. He "turned to The Dark Side" as a result.
"Not So Different" Remark: Stiyl notes that he's similar to Touma and himself in that they will do anything to save Index. In the Light Novels, Touma notes that his Ars Magna functions more like an esper power than like magic.
Reality Warper: His power, Ars Magna, is a spell that creates a simulation of the world inside the mind of the user, linked to the real world. Any changes in the mental world are reflected in the real world, so the user can make anything they can imagine become true.
Reality Warping Is Not a Toy: His fears and doubts come true as well. He usually uses acupuncture needles to clear his mind before using Ars Magna. This is why he went through the elaborate plan to capture a vampire, he didn't believe he could do it on his own.
Redundant Rescue: He gave three years of his life to find a way to save Index, only to find that Touma had already saved her.
Superpower Lottery: His Ars Magna is actually on par with John's Pen Mode Index, and a power that can turn your thoughts into reality is pretty much quite the power.
To the Pain: After conjuring up a gun against Touma, he boasts that he's going to enjoy shooting him in the kneecaps, the arms, etc.
Villain in a White Suit: His entire appearance is in a white suit and he became twisted after failing to prevent the heroine from losing her memories of him.
Villainous Breakdown: Once Stiyl and Touma explain that his plan to use Himegami to attract a vampire so he can force it to turn Index into a vampire to save her life is unneeded, he gets really mad and decides to kill them, claiming that they mocked him and his dreams. Touma makes him even more upset and scares him half to death by pretending to be insane, laughing at him when Izzard chops off his arm, realizing that his powers are dependent on his state of mind.
We Have Reserves: His reply when Touma and Stiyl confront him about his army of Brainwashed and Crazy Misawa Cram School students whose bodies were breaking down due to them being espers forced to use magic.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Pulls this on Himegami, killing her with a command. Fortunately, Touma's Imagine Breaker could reverse it.
Younger Than They Look: He's 18 and looks like a guy in his 20's or 30's.

Ouma Yamisaka

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamisaka_ouma.png

Voiced by: Joji Nakata (JP), Bob Carter (EN)

An aloof magician who once kidnapped Index and tried to extract a grimoire from her mind in order to find a cure for a cursed woman he had fallen in love with. When Touma rescues Index and learns of his situation, Touma offers to use Imagine Breaker to save the woman, which he gratefully accepts.

Arc Villain: One of three for the "Three Stories" arc.
Badass in a Nice Suit: Spends his entire appearance in a nice suit.
Blood from the Mouth: Trying to read the grimoire in Index's mind causes him internal damage and makes him cough up blood.
Blow You Away: Can generate gusts of wind that can demolish buildings or boost him into the air.
Cannot Spit It Out: He refused to admit that he was in love with the girl he was trying to save, instead claiming he was only trying to save her to prove his skill. Touma quickly says that's a load of crap.
The Comically Serious: Acts stone-faced in hilarious situations like Touma ordering him to apologize for destroying the homework Touma had been working on the whole day with his wind attack.
Determinator: He will never give up, no matter the cost.
Eyes Always Shut: He only opens his eyes during really serious moments.
Flash Step: Can move so fast Touma can barely follow him with his eyes.
Invisibility: Can turn himself and anyone he's holding invisible.
Not So Stoic: After realizing that Touma can save the girl.
Talking the Monster to Death: Index and Touma convince him to stand down by forcing him to admit his love for the girl he was trying to save, causing him to break down sobbing.
Tears of Blood: Trying to read the grimoire in Index's mind causes him internal damage and makes blood fall from his eyes.
Telepathy: However, if he reads someone's mind, the target can read his mind as well. This is how Index learns about the girl he was trying to save.

Oriana Thomson

Basis104 — The One Who Carries the Basis

Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki (JP), Jennifer Green (EN)

Oriana Thomson is an 18-year-old blonde magician who works as a mercenary. Her sorcery name is Basis104, "The one who carries the basis."

Adaptational Expansion: The manga adaptation has a flashback to her youth when she was a helpless nun that was unable to truly help people, which made her fall into despair and believe that a Black-and-White Insanity world would be a better place to live.
Anti-Villain: In the "Daihasei Festival arc", as she genuinely believes Lidvia's plan would make the world a better place. She tries to avoid involving innocent bystanders and is visibly regretful when her actions inadvertently hurt them.
Black-and-White Insanity: Believes the world would be a better place if morality was reduced to black and white with no conflicting ideas of right and wrong.
Buxom Beauty Standard: She has large breasts, which many men can't help but stare at, such a Touma and his father. They're also constantly emphasized by her Stripperiffic outfit and many Male Gaze shots aimed at her chest.
Code Name: Magic Name: Basis104
Confusion Fu: A limitation of her "Short Hand" flashcards is that each one is marked with a unique spell, meaning she rarely, if ever, uses the same spell twice. She almost seems to consider this a point of pride at times. Backfires when Touma eventually realizes that she also subconsciously never launches her attacks in the same way twice in the row, so he's able to dodge her by occupying the space of her previous attack.
Defeat Means Friendship: After her defeat at the "Daihasei Festival" arc, she makes a deal with the Necessarius and starts working for them instead, becoming an ally during the "British Royal Family" arc.
Double Entendre: Loves to pepper her conversation with these.
Dragon-in-Chief: Oriana is Arc Villain Lidvia Lorenzetti's acting agent, and the more present threat to Touma due to Lidvia operating outside Academy City.
Elemental Powers: Most of her spells are based on the 4 Western elements: Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth.
Escape Artist: Comes with being a mercenary. Her job forces her to know every way of avoiding detection and capture. It is very hard to keep track of her once she starts running away.
Femme Fatale: One of her main tactics is to play up her sex appeal to have her opponents be Distracted by the Sexy, which is why she has her flirtatious demeanor and wears such revealing clothing. The novels note that she plays this up on purpose to keep people off their guard.
Head-Turning Beauty: Several characters, including Touma, find her very, very attractive and background characters tend to turn and stare at her as she walks by. At first, this seems counterintuitive to her supposed secret mission in Academy City, but it makes more sense after she's revealed to be just a decoy.
Interplay of Sex and Violence: Definitely invokes this during her fight with Touma. In her first fight with him, her shirt slowly comes undone the longer the fight drags out and she keeps making comparisons as if the two were having sex.
Kung-Fu Wizard: Unlike most mages, who tend to fall into the Squishy Wizard archetype (even those that are far more powerful than her magic-wise), Oriana is more than capable of physically handling her enemies. She was able to fight Tsuchimikado on rather even ground, which is no easy feat, and actually is strong enough to rather easily trade blows with Touma.
Lady of Black Magic: A flirtatious, mature magician mercenary whose Shorthand techniques allow for her to cast different attack spells and more complex ones as well.
Made of Iron: She can take a punch to the face from Touma's right hand, get up, and mock him. It took a prolonged and devastating battle to finally bring her down.
Ms. Fanservice: Large-breasted, seductive, a frequent target of Male Gaze shots and introduced with a mostly unbuttoned shirt that pops open in her first fight before switching to a midriff-bearing tube top. There's even a gratuitous scene were she changes between outfits that show her with Shoulders-Up Nudity.
My God, What Have I Done?: She's horrified with herself when she learns that she nearly killed an innocent student (Himegami) on the wrong assumption that she was an agent of Necessarius due to the Celtic cross around her neck.
Navel-Deep Neckline: If she wears a shirt or jacket, she leaves it unbuttoned or unzipped.
Ojou Ringlets: Two drill-like ringlets frame her face and she has a rather ladylike way of speaking.
Only in It for the Money: Subverted. At first she claims she's just a merc doing a job, but she later reveals she bought into Lidvia Lorenzetti's plan, as she finds the Black and White world it will create to be rather appealing.
Pet the Dog: She's seen helping a random child get her balloon back during the Daihasei festival.
Pretentious Latin Motto: "The One Who Carries the Basis."
Pretty in Mink: Carries a fur cloak when she changes into her bandeau/skirt combo.
Projectile Kiss: She invokes this via the way she utilizes her Shorthand spells, by pulling the paper out with her teeth and spitting them out with a kissing motion.
Red Herring: Her true job during "Daihasei Festival" arc is basically to be a decoy and lead the protagonists into a fruitless cat-and-mouse game, thinking she's there to give the Croce di Pietro to Lidvia Lorenzetti, not knowing to Lidvia already has it and is planning to use it on the other side of town. Even the big item she's carrying is just a random billboard and not the Croce di Pietro.
Sexy Slit Dress: Her skirt has a slit exposing her leg.
Show Some Leg: She likes to cup her boobs and make sexy poses to distract male opponents.
Stripperific: Both of the outfits she wears at the Daihasei festival are very revealing. The first is gray work clothes that in only buttoned at the top and she has her pants unzipped. The second is a gypsy skirt with a slit and a small bandeau.
Sultry Bangs: Her bangs often covers her right eye, giving her a sultry appearance. She uses her sex appeal with men to her advantage.
Thrill Seeker: She enjoys when her opponents give her a fight, and even gives rules to herself to make fights more interesting, such as not repeating any spells, because it'd be boring otherwise.
Underboobs: When wearing her bandeau.
Vancian Magic: The basis of her Shorthand magic technique, she has to prepare spells in her flashcards, which works like a mini grimoire, with the difference being that they're destroyed within seconds after being activated.
Vapor Wear: Her revealing outfit makes it clear she doesn't wear a bra. She also wears her pants or skirt very low, proving that if she wears panties at all they must be extremely skimpy.
Victoria's Secret Compartment: She keeps her shorthand originals on her cleavage.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Goes along with Lidvia Lorenzetti's plan because she believes it would make the world a better place in the future, and that a few lives sacrificed in the process would be worth it.
Wild Card: Her loyalty is only to whoever pays her the most, and she will also change loyalties based on her personal code of ethics.
Younger Than They Look: She looks and acts like a woman in her mid-twenties or early thirties, but she's actually just eighteen years old.

Brunhild Eiktobel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Brunhild_Eikdopr_1113.jpg

One of the 20 Saints in the world, who is also a Valkyrie. She went on a very, very, justified Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the five greatest Norse Cabals after an incident that involved those five cabals, with over a thousand members each, obliterated her own small cabal of thirty people to preserve Norse Mythology.

The Aloner: After her cabal's destruction, at the time before meeting Ceillier.
Anti-Villain: All she wanted to do was use the power of a god to save a child.
Arc Number: Without knowing it, she used the Christian 3 on Gungnir.
Arc Villain: She's the main antagonist of the Norse Mythology SS extra novel.
The Atoner: After Ceillier tried to kill himself because he couldn't stand to watch her being tortured, Brunhild seeks to obtain Gungnir for the sake of getting Ceillier out of his vegetative state.
Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Played With. The Five Great Norse Societies captured and tortured her in order to get her to spill out information regarding Final Rune and Gungnir. However, what made her snap and turn to villainy wasn't the torture they inflicted on her, but that a little boy ended up almost dead because he could do nothing but talk to her as she was being tortured.
BFS: She usually wields a 1.5m claymore, an exceedingly wide double-edged sword.
Body Horror: She inflicted this on every single magician who she had a grudge against.
Born Winner: Brunhild was born as both a Saint and a Valkyrie, which gives her tremendous power, like the ability to move faster than sound and strength capable of bending a tanker in two with a single punch.
Chekhov's Skill: She crafted a new Gungnir and has the proper knowledge to do so through the Final Rune. Now Othinus, GREMLIN's head honcho, is seeking Gungnir.
Cynicism Catalyst: Ceillier's apparent death drove her to villainy.
Dark and Troubled Past: Her Cabal was destroyed because she used Gungnir to save someone, and the other Cabals wiped her's off, dug up the graves she made for those children and fed their bodies to wolves, then attacked small Norse cabal after small Norse cabal to make sure they all felt so threatened that they would not help her, they killed some children with no connection to magic just because they spoke to her when she collapsed on the ground, tortured her and put the last little kid who gave her hope in the hospital.
Elemental Powers: With Gungnir's power, she can control all types of natural phenomenons and weather disasters by combining the elemental symbols of fire, ice and frost.
- Playing with Fire: Can summon pure white flames.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Can cause earthquakes and cause large stones to fall from the sky.
- Blow You Away: Can create slicing blades of wind.
- Making a Splash: Can create underground water geysers.
- Shock and Awe: Can produce white lightning strikes.
- Magma Man: Can create volcanic eruptions and pure white lava.
Legendary Weapon: She has a replica of Gungnir, a 3 meter long "spear" made after the spear of Odin.
Lightning Bruiser: She's a Saint and a Valkyrie. She can not only move faster than the speed of sound, but she can also swing a sword so fast that it can generate a sonic boom that can cause all the windows of a building to shatter merely by being in the same direction of her swing.
My Greatest Failure: The destruction of her Cabal and Ceillier's fate.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Hel, as they named her. She planned to live up to it.
Brunhild: Like the hands of a clock, I am now inexorably approaching you as you lie there unmoving. Once I arrive, I will act true to the name of Hel that you forced upon me by sending each and every one of you to the underworld.
Nominal Villain: Her love for Ceillier pushes her to the brink, swearing to destroy the Five Great Norse Societies, and use Gungnir to grant her wish in getting Ceillier out of his vegetative state.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Justified after what her victims did. Really, the only reason Kanzaki stopped her was because she was ordered to.
Rule of Symbolism: Gugnir's structure can shift to grab and break weapons like a vise, based on how Gungnir broke Balmung, the strongest human sword, in a single strike. It's revealed Brunhild's Gungnir Norse purity is reduced due to symbolic elements of Longinus being accidentally mixed in because of Brundhil's Saint nature and the accidental addition of a trinity with the three elemental symbols it contains.
Runic Magic: As a Valkyrie and norse magician, Brunhild is knowledgeable in the use of runes to achieve various magical effects, like stopping the motion of an arrow or checking to see if a cup has poison on it.
Power Limiter: When her Saint Powers and Valkyrie Powers are at the same level during the Half-Moon, she loses access to both.
Pretender Diss: Mocks GREMLIN member Hel as an idiot for trying to emulate the Norse goddess, pointing out that she used to have that title.
Throw the Dog a Bone: In New Testament Volume 4, it is revealed that that the charges were dropped against her after she helped out in World War III. Not only that, the boy she wanted to save woke up, although he is in a hospital now.
Valkyries: She was born as a Valkyrie, a "person with talent" who acts like a bridge between man and God.
Weather Manipulation: She has absolute control over weather phenomena, such as tornadoes and lightning.
You Can't Fight Fate: A central theme of Norse Stories, as well as the destiny of Saints. People around them will be hurt for their sakes.

Jeans Slasher

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/129px-JSlasher_9266.jpg

A mysterious Valkyrie who Kaori Kanzaki meets in Volume SS2, assaulting people in the streets of London and cutting up their jeans. She disappears after a brief battle and is not seen again.

Arc Number: She invokes the number nine for her spell Nine Support.
BFS: She carries one.
Born Winner: As a Valkyrie, she was born with her power.
Chainmail Bikini: It is made of steel interwoven with cloth.
Clothing Damage: Inflicts it by slashing people's jeans skillfully enough to avoid cutting their legs.
It Amused Me: The reason she gives when Kaori asks her why she's cutting up people's jeans. That and she's a sadist.
Lightning Bruiser: She's strong, fast, and skilled enough to contend with Kaori.
Ms. Fanservice: Milks her appearance for all it's worth to seduce the men around her.
No Name Given: She never identifies herself. She's referred to as Jeans Slasher for what she does.
People Puppets: Her spell Nine Support causes a man's shadow to turn into nine girls, who latch onto the man and control his movements. The greater the victim's lust toward Jeans Slasher, the harder it is for him to resist.
The Tease: Flirts with any man she meets.
Valkyries: She was born as one.

A former member of Necessarius who defected and vowed revenge against them for dissing his invention, Lævateinn. In the SP Volume, he attempts to capture Patricia Birdway to use her in a plot to acquire the Alaskan Runes, which would have given him great power that could help his plans for revenge, only to be defeated by Stiyl Magnus and Theodosia Electra.

Fate Worse than Death: After his defeat, Dawn-Colored Sunlight takes him into their custody, and imply that his torture will know no bounds, as punishment for trying to harm Patricia.
Flaming Sword: Lævateinn, a sword of his own creation that apparently burns so hot it can effortlessly annihilate anything, even a lake or concrete. However, see Post-Modern Magik.
For the Evulz: He tried to trick Patricia into touching a Grimoire, which would have blown her arm off, for no reason other than his own amusement. Fortunately, Stiyl stopped her in time.
The Heretic: He was labeled as such for using a scientific concept to perfect Lævateinn. This really pissed him off and caused him to turn evil.
"Not So Different" Remark: Stiyl sees a little of himself in Richard and feels slight sympathy for his motivation. The only reason why Stiyl is not branded The Heretic even though he uses Post-Modern Magik as well is that the people who judge these things are arbitrary hypocrites. Had things been a little different, Richard and Stiyl's positions could have been reversed.
Post-Modern Magik: In reality, Lævateinn's flames are about average in power. He secretly sprays invisible ink (Vitamin B2 to be precise) on his targets in the shape of runes that when activated by ultraviolet light cause them to become extremely flammable. It was because of this that he was labeled The Heretic.
Rule of Symbolism: Lævateinn is based on Surtur's Flaming Sword from Norse Mythology. Stiyl is quick to point out that it is a far cry from its mythological counterpart once the trick with the invisible ink runes is thwarted.

Nonhuman Beings

Gabriel

Archangel Gabriel

The Power of God

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabriel_if.png

Voiced by: Yuka Terasaki (JP), Kate Oxley (EN)

A Christian Archangel and one of the most powerful beings (note not "characters") in the series, Gabriel rules over the attribute of water, as well as the moon. It first appears in the "Angel Fall" arc, as the eponymous angel.

Above Good and Evil: Starts out with no desire or will of its own except that of God, neither good or evil. Later, after it gains free will, it states that it doesn't care about morality, only about accomplishing its goals.
Ambiguous Gender: The narration refers to it as female, due to its body being modeled after Sasha Kreutzev.
Chekhov's Gunman: Its first appearance is in the "Angel Fall" arc.
Curb-Stomp Battle: The entire might of both France and England couldn't do shit to it.
Diabolus ex Machina: After seemingly blowing up in Volume 21, it reforms toward the end of the next volume and begins melting the North Pole just as Touma is getting ready to safely land the Star of Bethlehem. He ends up having to drive the archangel into the Arctic Ocean, leaving his fate unknown...
Guardian Entity: For Fiamma, who summons it.
Holy Halo: As seen in the picture.
Making a Splash: It is the authority on water control.
Manipulative Bastard: Mostly shown during the "Angel Fall" arc, in which it fools Necessarius with a false identity to let it identify the spellcaster.
Nigh-Invulnerability: Able to withstand attacks from the world's military, and even from Accelerator.
Our Angels Are Different: When it is not in a human host, it does not look human, as seen in the picture.
Physical God: Gabriel is second only to Michael in power among the Archangels.
Starfish Language: Apparently sounds like complete gibberish/static and contains concepts that cannot be translated. Hyouka can basically understand it, though. Gabriel seems to be under the impression that she's an actual angel and tries to get her to help!
Sweet Tooth: Likes candy, as the sweet taste reminds it of the grace of God.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Upon seeing it on the battlefield, Elizalina wonders why on Earth Fiamma would summon something with such massive power for any threat humans could possibly face. Note: Archangels are perfectly capable of destroying the Earth not only without trying, but as side effects to goals they feel are more important. This puts Gabriel's very summoning in this category.
Water Is Womanly: Gabriel is the archangel that rules over water. Despite technically being genderless, it has distinctly feminine features and breasts. The narration refers to Gabriel as female as its body is modeled after Sasha Kreutzev.
Worf Had the Flu: In every instance that it was summoned, Gabriel was no where near its true power. The closest was when Fiamma succeeded in correcting the elemental misalignment and Touma destroyed Index's control device, making Gabriel whole once again. However, even that left it at mere fraction of its full strength due to the Telesma drained by Acqua and its injuries sustained in its battle against FUZE=KAZAKIRI and Accelerator. Stiyl hypothesized that even absorbing all the water on Earth wouldn't be enough to bring it back to full strength.

Alfar

A magically created elfin girl encountered by Kanzaki in the Norse Mythology SS. Her presence causes living beings exposed to her to undergo accelerated evolution.

Death Seeker: After learning what she does to other living beings, she seeks to find a way to return herself to a fossil (as merely dying and becoming a corpse wouldn't be enough to stop the change).
Fossil Revival: How she was created.
Pointy Ears: She's an elf after all.
Power Incontinence: She has no control over the twisted evolution that she causes in other living beings.
Restraining Bolt: Similar to Aisa Himegami, she is given a cross by Necessarius to suppress her ability and allow her to interact with others safely.

St. Germain

^{A group of St. Germains as a whole}

A mysterious being who claims to be the legendary Count of Saint Germain, a historical figure who was the subject of wild speculation thanks to his Mysterious Past, and has been hypothesized to be immortal, an alchemist, an occultist, and even a time traveler. In reality, it is a form of collective consciousness who takes on multiple host bodies, spread via microbes from a black crystal/pill form inserted into the host.

The Bus Came Back: Returns in Genesis Testament being used by Anna Sprengel in an attempt to kill Touma via infection of its microbes and then destroying him from the inside out thanks to the conflict of esper and magician powers. Touma, however, manages to convince St. Germain to ally with him in defeating Anna, and it chooses to perform Heroic Suicide to save him.
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: It turns out St. Germain never actually existed, but this being was brought into existence by magicians believing in him.
Consummate Liar: It will spread an infinite number of falsehoods and deceive anybody to achieve its present goal.
False Friend: Pretends to support Shinka Kanou's quest to avenge Frenda while plotting to send him to his death.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Gets Shinka Kanou to trust it by appearing to him in a body that resembles his friend Frenda Seivelun.
God Guise: It has the power to control carbon. It used this ability to pretend to be a Reality Warper and briefly fool Touma into believing it was a Majin.
Heel–Face Turn: In Genesis Testament, Touma convinces the St. Germain microbes he's been infected with to help him against Anna Spengel, especially considering that Anna intended to have Touma self-destruct from the conflict of esper and magician abilities and thus likely killing St. Germain too.
Heroic Suicide: After beating back Anna Spengel, at least for the time being, the St. Germain microbes infecting Touma choose to save him from dying due to the esper rejection of magical energy by all travelling right to Touma's Imagine Breaker to destroy themselves.
Hive Mind: Each host body is connected telepathically.
Home Field Advantage: In buildings like the Dianoid where everything is made of carbon materials, it is practically a Reality Warper.
Multiple-Choice Past: Its origin story and motives change frequently. It can't keep up a lie for long and will make up new goals on the spot.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: It was not affected by Othinus' changes to reality since it is neither alive nor dead.
Sharing a Body: Briefly with Touma in Genesis Testament Volume 2.
Superpower Lottery: Wields the Chambord, a spear shaped like a treble clef that has power over carbon. Carbon is in almost every material, including human bodies. It can deform people's bodies, turn plant matter into golems, form diamonds into shapes and weapons, and even release carbon monoxide.
Villainous Breakdown: When Touma reveals that for all its power, it is nothing but a liar and a con artist.
The Virus: It literally infects people with microbes to add them to its collective.
We Have Reserves: It doesn't care what happens to its host bodies as it always has some in reserve. It is willing to force espers it has controlled to perform magic and injure themselves.

Coronzon

A mysterious demon Aleister conjured during a summoning ritual in Egypt in 1909, in order to cross the Abyss and reach the top of the Sephiroth. The ritual failed, or so Aleister thought.

For more information about Lola Stuart, see here.

Qliphah Puzzle 545

An artificial demon created by Coronzon as a weapon to be used against Aleister Crowley. After being defeated by Aleister, she makes a contract with Accelerator to become his advisor on magic.

Anthropomorphic Personification: Described by Aleister as being a symbol of misinformation, lies and the very atmosphere of a hopeless war that can drive people mad.
Brown Note: Can perform this by using her tentacles to distort the scenary around her, using her essence as dangerous knowledge one cannot face without proper preparation to attack the opponent's mind, leaving them paralyzed.
Combat Tentacles: Can sprout hundreds of millions of thin thread-like tentacles with a poison needle on the end.
Demonic Possession: Qliphah Puzzle is a possession specialist. For most of New Testament 20 she is actually inside Kaori Kanzaki.
Emotion Control: Can influence the emotions of others, particularly their hostility.
Empathic Shapeshifter: Downplayed. Qliphah Puzzle's trash dress is made of aged English newspapers with headlines that attack the insecurities of the person watching them, though technically the novel notes the text is driven directly into people’s minds instead of via their vision. For example, Aleister sees articles criticizing her like those that attacked him during his public life; while Accelerator sees articles about the dangers of cloning and Academy City's human experiments.
The Hyena: Qliphah Puzzle is constantly laughing at everything around her.
Humanoid Abomination: Qliphah Puzzle looks like a cross between a jellyfish and a human with wings and a hole in her forehead. Her body parts are also described as individually being beautifully alluring, but the overall proportions are imbalanced. She is even described by Aleister to possess a structure similar to yet different from humans.
Living Weapon: Was created as this. Aleister notes her to have a much simpler structure than Coronzon or Aiwass and being more of a tool than a lifeform.
People Puppets: Can control people by stabbing them with her tentacles.
Undying Loyalty: To Accelerator after making a contract with him.

Aureolus Dummy

A clone created by Aureolus Izzard, he acts as a minor antagonist in the second volume of the light novel.

Adapted Out: He is entirely absent from the 2008 anime adaptation.
An Arm and a Leg: He gets his left arm and leg chopped off courtesy of Stiyl Magnus, forcing him to replace them with gold replicas.
Clone Angst: He believes himself to be the original Aureolus, He doesn't handle discovering the truth well.
Chain Pain: A variation. The chain itself is actually harmless, but the arrow at the end can turn people into molten gold just by touching them.
Variable-Length Chain
Villainous Breakdown: Begins with getting his arm and leg cut off and continues when Touma shows he can block the Limen Magna

Russian Orthodox Church

Krans R. Tsarskiy

Voiced by: Asuna Tomari (JP), Derick Snow (EN)

The current patriarch and leader of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Dude Looks Like a Lady: It is noted by others that he looks very effeminate.
Hoist by His Own Petard: His Seven Deadly Sins spell works both ways and allows Touma to neutralize him by pinning him with every sin except lust.
Older Than They Look: He's 15 and looks like a small child.
Puppet King: During the "World War III" arc, he was imprisoned in his own palace and used as a figurehead. Vasilisa eventually rescued him.
Seven Deadly Sins: Uses a spell based on the Seven Deadly Sins against Touma in NT 10. The spell robs the target of 1/7th of their strength for each sin the user accuses them of. Once all sins are pinned the target won't have enough strength to breathe or have a heartbeat. The spell can be neutralized by refuting the accusations of sin.
Took a Level in Badass: Upon being rescued from imprisonment, he's taken back his role as leader of the Russian Orthodox Church and acted like a true professional. He signed the final document that officially ended World War III.
Unwitting Pawn: He ended up helping start World War III when he signed his signature on a dummy document. His signature was then transferred to a declaration of war.
Wise Beyond Their Years: In a meeting of the world leaders, he can keep up with the others.
Young and in Charge: Again, he's 15.

Sasha Kreutzev

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sasha_croitsef.png

Voiced by: Yuka Terasaki (JP), Kate Oxley (EN)

An exorcist and operative of Annihilatus from the Russian Orthodox Church, Sasha's first appearance in the story was during the "Angel Fall" story arc, where she was possessed by the fallen Archangel Gabriel who was looking for the true culprit of Angel Fall.

Badass Adorable: Supposedly, underneath all that bondage gear, she's actually quite cute... Supposedly...
Chekhov's Gun: Archangel Gabriel reappears once again as Misha Kreutzev in Volume 21 after Fiamma summons it.
Creepy Monotone: During the rare times she actually speaks.
Exposed to the Elements: She wears her skimpy bondage outfit in the snow at Vasilisa's insistence, using magic to keep warm. If it were up to her, she would wear weather-appropriate clothing so she would not have to waste magic this way.
Eyes Out of Sight: Her bangs almost always cover her eyes.
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Apparently, she loves Brandy and Vodka, and even drinks up during work when she isn't supposed to. At least, she has a very high tolerance.
Inverse Law of Fertility: The leftover telesma in her body has caused her to become unable to bear children, which causes her quite a bit of angst. Not to mention that Vasilisa taunts her over it.
MacGuffin Super-Person: Fiamma of the Right is actively seeking her for the leftover telesma within her body so that he can summon an Archangel.
Magical Sensory Effect: She gained the ability to sense magic and magicians after housing the Telesma of Archangel Gabriel in her body, manifesting as her fingers trembling and a pressure in her chest. Interestingly, Accelerator, an esper and thus supposedly antithesis to magic, manifests the exact same symptoms after he gets his wings for the first time, hinting at a connection.
Serrated Blade of Pain: In addition to her hammers, she carries a bunch of saws.
Strange-Syntax Speaker: "My first question: How do I speak?" "My first answer: Like this."
Stripperiffic: Lampshaded in the side story volumes. To be fair, she doesn't dress this way by choice. You can blame Vasilisa for that one.
The Stoic: Hardly ever speaks or shows emotions unless she has to.

Immortality Inducer: She has The Water of Life, which grants its drinker eternal life.
Made of Iron: Casually shrugs off getting hit over the head with a hammer.
One-Man Army: Easily defeats squads of assassins.

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_mathers.png

A famous British magician and one of the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the largest magic cabal in the United Kingdom and a world-renowned cabal. Mathers was also the man who recruited Aleister Crowley into the Golden Dawn and acted as one of his mentors, though their relationship ultimately turned sour.

The Archmage: One of the most powerful magician of his time, and the head of the world's most powerful cabal.
Elemental Powers: Has mastery over all four elements, as well as their Aristotelian qualities.
Esoteric Motifs: Mathers' primary weapons are his four Symbolic Weapons, spiritual items taking the form of the four objects of Western ceremonial magic from this trope.
Fake Aristocrat: Believed himself to have Scottish noble blood and sought to restore The House of Stuart.
Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife: He was unemployed but was more preoccupied with esoteric matters, much to his wife Mina's chagrin.
Our Founder: Of the Golden Dawn, and by association one of the originators of modern Western magic. In the present-day, he is as famous as Aleister Crowley among magicians.
Happily Married: Despite their financial situation, his marriage with Mina was solid. Aleister admits this is one of the things he was jealous about.
Historical Domain Character: Like every member of Golden Dawn, Mathers was a Real Life occultist and did found the Order. However, his fictional counterpart died way earlier and differently than he did in history, being killed during the Battle of Blythe Road in 1900 while the actual Mathers died in 1918.
Last-Name Basis: Mostly referred to as Mathers.
Summon Magic: Extremely profficient in summoning magic, fitting for a man called "evoker of spirits" in Real Life. He was the one who summoned Coronzon to destroy Aleister after all.
Tarot Motifs: Is actually a grimoire made up of Tarot cards. His Symbolic Weapons are also the symbols used for the Minor Arcana deck of the Tarot.
Virtual Ghost: The Mathers who actually appears in the story is actually a perfect reproduction of the man using Tarot cards to create living grimoires.

Aleister Crowley

See: A Certain Magical Index Academy City Leadership

Dion Fortune

Dion Fortune is a late member of the Golden Dawn, only joining in the early 20th century long after it fell into disrepair. After a series of incidents, she has become the current Archbishop of Church of England and leader of Necessarius.

Absurd Phobia: Because Mina Mathers once attacked her using cats, she has a crippling fear of her and cats.
Historical Domain Character: Like every member of Golden Dawn, Dion Fortune really existed and was a famous Real Life British occultist. "Dion Fortune" was actually her Meaningful Rename (it is derived from the Pretentious Latin Motto "Deo, non Fortuna", meaning "God, not fortune"), she was born under the name Violet Mary Firth.
Large Ham: Calls herself "the great Dion Fortune".
Pimped-Out Dress: Wears a frilly white ballerina-style dress.
Power Floats: Can lift herself and her box.
Random Effect Spell: Her speciality. The black box she carries everywhere, called Archetype Processor, is essentially her magical version of Schrödinger's box, where she never knows what kind of magic will come out of it.
Virtual Ghost: She is a perfect reproduction of the dead person using Tarot cards to create living grimoires.

"Anna Sprengel" (UNMARKED SPOILERS)

Madame Horos

"Anna Sprengel"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horos.png

Not technically a member of the Golden Dawn, but its mysterious founder, an alleged member of a German magic cabal who supposedly gave William Wynn Westcott permission to start his own cabal in a series of letters. She resurfaces during the Coronzon to propose her help to Takitsubo in helping Hamazura now that he's pursued for allying with Coronzon.

In reality, she is a fraud who posed as Anna Sprengel, which Mathers believed for a time, before she brought ruins to the Golden Dawn and made off with crucial cabal documents.

Con Man: Madame Horos is a professional fraud and swindler.
Crystal Ball: She uses one as a grimoire and a "combat module" that can generate Beam Spam. She lends it to Takitsubo on the pretext that it allows an esper to use magic, but it actually allows her to Mind Control her.
Flower Motifs: Roses, in her role as Anna Sprengel and a Rosicrucian magician.
Hijacking Cthulhu: She somehow managed to possess the body of the real Anna Sprengel, one of the most powerful people in the setting.
Historical Domain Character: She was a real person, who went by Swami Laura Horos as well as many other aliases, the most common of which was Ann O'Delia Diss Debar. Her reputation as a Con Man and Phony Psychic was even known to Harry Houdini, who called her "one of the most extraordinary fake mediums and mystery swindlers the world has ever known".
Manipulative Bastard: She pretends to offer help to Takitsubo, but is actually planning to kill Hamazura while using her.
Symbol Motif Clothing: Roses and crosses are all over her clothing.

Anna Kingsford

A brilliant magician and the mentor of Golden Dawn founders Mathers and Westcott. She passed away a century ago, shortly before the cabal was founded.

And I Must Scream: Anna possesses a film can filled with parchment charms that she fills with planetary power and works based on the link between the microcosm and the macrocosm (the foundational theory that lets esper abilities and magic to work). Activating the spell allows Anna to separate the target's organs and limbs from their body and seal each of them in a charm inside the film can, keeping the victim alive and conscious but completely unable to move or escape.
The Archmage: She was the mentor of two of the founders of Golden Dawn before her death, of which Mathers is already recognized as one of the most powerful magicians in the world. She can battle the likes of Aiwass to a standstill and is described as a "goddess" of magical knowledge. Even Anna Sprengel is terrified to face her in combat. As the narration puts it:
"Trying to outdo Anna Kingsford in the field of magic was a mistake in and of itself. If you could not sense that, you were best off staying silent and doing as little as possible for as long as it took for you to understand."
Back from the Dead: She died shortly before the founding of Golden Dawn but is resurrected by Aleister Crowley to face Anna Sprengel.
Beware the Nice Ones: Anna is a kind woman who believes that magic should be open to everyone and used for the benefit of mankind. But she also holds magicians to absurdly high standards because of her ideals and will take down anyone who uses magic for ill. She became so well known for this that the thought of facing her wrath sends chills down Anna Sprengel's spine. When Kingsford is resurrected to take down Sprengel, the resulting fight is a complete Curb-Stomp Battle in Kingsford's favor.
Brought Down to Badass: Anna notes that her body is too fragile to withstand her full magical powers following her resurrection. She's still a frighteningly powerful magician, to the point that Anna Sprengel, who is as powerful as the entire Magic Side and can easily defeat Level 5 espers like Mikoto, is curb-stomped by Kingsford.
The Faceless: She's alluded to but not seen until she's reanimated by Crowley to face Anna Sprengel.
Historical Domain Character: She's based on a real-life person and occultist who also campaigned for women's rights.
Human Weapon: When she's brought Back from the Dead, Aleister gives her an "off switch", reducing her back to an inert body until she's turned back "on". This effectively puts her on the leash and makes her an autonomous weapon under Aleister's control. She lets this slide in the present; but threatens to turn against the person who resuscitated her if she's deployed in a manner that harms the common people.
Mentor Archetype: She was the mentor to Westcott and Mathers, the two founders of the most powerful magical cabal in the United Kingdom.
Older Than They Look: She died a century ago, but when she's resurrected she looks like a woman in her thirties at most. This is attributed to the lipids and hyaluronan injected into her body during the resurrection process.
Say It with Hearts: While speaking to others, she somehow includes emojis and stars in her dialogue.
Anna: I simply wish to aid the 🙂 around me☆
Scary Shiny Glasses: Upon her resurrection, she's introduced with opaque glasses reflecting the light as she approaches a terrified Anna Sprengel,.
Simple, yet Awesome: She eschews the elaborate rituals utilized by magicians like Fiamma and Anna Sprengel, instead sticking to common spells and simple ceremonies that anyone can learn. But she's honed them to the point that each one of her spells can be considered a special move that can quickly overwhelm mere magical "experts". In addition, the simplicity of her magic means that she doesn't need special items or preconditions to use it, eliminating the conditional weaknesses that plague many magicians. She can also attack suddenly and without warning, casting her simple spells without even using an incantation. She halts one of Anna Sprengel's attacks in mid-air with ease and isolates her in space before sealing Sprengel inside of a film can.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: Anna believes that magic should be a tool that everyone can use and that magicians are obligated to help those in need, a far cry from the political grappling and acts of terror inflicted by magicians more than a century after her death. She's incensed by the thought of magicians inflicting malicious harm or causing more damage than necessary, enforcing her "absurdly high" standards by going after wrongdoers. Anna goes so far as to say that she simply wishes to aid the smiles of the people around her.

Bridge Builders Cabal

General

Tropes common to the group:

Always a Bigger Fish: To the previously thought most powerful beings of the setting, although it is specified that they are not more powerful than Magic Gods. Unlike them, if they destroyed a world, they wouldn't be able to remake everything they had destroyed afterwards.
The Archmages: Transcendants are another apex of magical power and knowledge from Magic Gods, and have been described as each being powerful enough to rival the magic side on their own under the right circumstances.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Their personalities and mentalities are shaped by set conditions, referred to as 'salvation conditions', often related to their background. If someone meets those conditions, they will act to save them and fight whatever stands in their way, even to the extent of fighting their fellow Transcendents and risking their lives. If their criteria is not met, the Transcendent will not lift a finger to save or even help a person, and be perfectly fine with their destruction, sometimes even expediting it.
God Guise: It's eventually revealed that the Transcendants are not the genuine article, but simply powerful magicians cosplaying as gods and legendary figures using Aleister's Magick, but doing something to go beyond human.
Refugee from TV Land: One characteristic shared by most Transcendants is that they are considered fictional beings coming from myths, legends, and rumours teaching coded knowledge.
Supernatural Sealing: Most of them possess a 'seal' on their full power, with a designation specific to the individual.
Team Mercy vs. Team Murder: After Touma accidentally influence Alice, the cabal divides into two groups, the Killers and the Rescuers, who respectively want to kill Touma, the source of change in Alice, or protect him and find another alternative, out of fear of what his death would do to Alice.
Touched by Vorlons: A possible explanation for their existence. According to Crowley, the Transcendents are all linked to the Secret Chiefs in some way - some by receiving their grimoires and knowledge, some by allowing one to reside in their body, and some by controlling them.
Translator Microbes: They use 'common tone creation' to translate and synthesize their speech into familiar languages.

Anna Sprengel

A mysterious and alleged member of a German magic cabal who supposedly gave William Wynn Westcott permission to start his own cabal, the Golden Dawn, in a series of letters. It is thought this Anna Sprengel never existed and that the letters were faked by Westcott to give legitimacy to his new magic cabal as he really wanted to claim his cabal to be a legitimate descendant of a Rosicrucian order, Rosicrucianism being an occult school combining Jewish Kabbalah, Hermetic Magic, Alchemy, and Christianity in its teachings, and the originator of many offshoot occult schools due to its popularity.

It is later revealed that Anna actually exists, and was imprisoned in her own body for a century by Madame Horos.

Always a Bigger Fish: To both Aleister and Aiwass, who were thought to be among the most powerful beings in the series up until that point.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: The beings Anna Sprengel could contact, the Secret Chiefs, were, according to the Golden Dawn, supreme cosmic entities similar to the Magic Gods that oversaw the mystic workings of the cosmos and gave permission for the founding of magic cabals. Anna herself, while not a Secret Chief, is also on a different level, someone who, according to Crowley, "crossed the Ungrund", that is, the Abyss Crowley tried and failed to cross.
Berserk Button: She has little patience for people not listening to her explanations, even throwing an Angrish-laden tantrum because Misaki interrupted her.
Curb-Stomp Battle: In Genesis Testament Volume 2, she beats Mikoto and Misaki so brutally and utterly they need to be hospitalized while she's not even slowed down.
Emissary from the Divine: She's the high priestess of the Secret Chiefs.
Evil Power Vacuum: Well, "evil" is a strong word, but it's revealed starting in Genesis Testament that since Lola Stuart and Aleister Crowley (the two architects of the Magic-Science treaty) have apparently died, Anna has been filling in the power gap via the use of R&C Occultics, her own personal IT corporation that started as a fortune-telling site before rapidly expanding via selling occult services and goods while gathering personal and private information on many people in the name of helping with troubles and testing romantic compatibility. The Magic and Science Sides couldn't do anything about it through a combination of not knowing how and not realizing just what she was doing respectively.
Flower Motifs: Roses, as a Rosicrucian magician.
Fountain of Youth: Her regained body regresses to the age of ten. The narration also mentions how Mathers believed the Secret Chiefs drank the Elixir of Life and so kept young physical bodies. In Genesis Testament, she shows the ability to casually revert back to her adult body at will to of all things better kiss Touma.
Hoist by Her Own Petard: She infects Touma with a black pill containing St. Germain microbes at the end of Genesis Testament Volume 1 to destroy his body from the inside out due to the rejection reaction of an esper to the magical energy the microbes would automatically produce being inside him, and he can't just touch himself to destroy them because it would only destroy the ones in that specific area and even one of them doing this would eventually finish him off. This goes well until the climax of Volume 2, when Touma manages to communicate with the burgeoning intelligence of St. Germain and convince it to help him kick her ass.
Improbable Weapon User: She can draw out the essence of seemingly mundane items based on how they’ve been used in the past, like using a branch as a whip to destroy Mikoto’s A.A.A.
Just Toying with Them: Mikoto and Misaki pose such little threat that she plays around with her Pneuma-less Shell and even rejects Aiwass’ assistance.
No-Sell: The Tokiwadai Level 5 duo couldn’t do anything to her.
Random Effect Spell: The guiding principle one of her spiritual item, the Pneuma-less Shell, which produces random objects with various effects. She uses it to deliberately add randomness to her battles, because perfect logical victory is boring to her.
Something about a Rose: Rose with ten petals was a central element of the Rosicrucian order, and so Anna wears roses on her clothes and hair.
Spanner in the Works: Serves as one for Operation Handcuffs. Her introducing the Coins of Nicholas effectively turned Accelerator's plans to dissolve the Dark Side and have the younger members peacefully subdued by Anti-Skill resulting in the latter butchering the former and then committing suicide, turning it into a bloodbath.
Symbol Motif Clothing: Roses and crosses are all over her clothing.
Touched by Vorlons: As a point of contact between the Secret Chiefs and the world, Anna has received their "blessings", treating them like credit cards in her own words.
Villain Takes an Interest: Perhaps "villain" is a strong word, but she definitely has a vested interest in Touma.

Alice Anotherbible

A young-seeming girl who looks and dresses like the title character from Alice in Wonderland. She is the de facto leader of the Bridge Builders' Cabal, mainly because the others are so anxious to keep her under control that they cater to her every whim.

A Child Shall Lead Them: She's a young girl who is effectively the Bridge Builders' leader.
Afraid of Their Own Strength: Whenever Alice is in danger of being hit by an attack, an array of automated magical defenses manifest to protect her (in forms ranging from quirky to sinister to monstrous). Their purpose isn't to protect Alice so much as to protect whomever is threatening her — because she's afraid that if anyone actually lands an attack on her, her reflexes will cause her to kill them immediately.
Age-Inappropriate Dress: In her alternate form, she wears a skimpy outfit consisting of nothing but oiled leather straps and buckles. The narration repeatedly points out how disturbing it looks, when juxtaposed against her young and innocent appearance.
Alice Allusion: Not so much an allusion as a whole-cloth reference.
Badass Adorable: She's sweet and adorable. She can also throw Transcendents around like rag dolls, and rewrite reality to her whim.
Beware the Silly Ones: When someone with the personality, emotions, and moral compass of an over-indulged child has god-like powers, the results can be... unfortunate. Most of the other Transcendents are implied to be terrified of her, and for good reason.
Cheerful Child: Alice normally acts like a cheerful and bouncy little girl who just wants to have fun with everyone.
Full-Body Disguise: As herself, oddly enough. At any rate, her everyday form is implied to be some kind of shell or facade. On rare occasions when she gets serious, this body splits open and another version of her emerges, with the same features but very different dress and demeanour.
Heroic BSoD: After falling out with Touma at the end of GT volume 7, Alice spends all of volume 8 just standing motionless with a Thousand-Yard Stare.
Killer Rabbit: She's cute, friendly and kind... as long as she's having fun. Making her angry, however, is a potentially terminal mistake.
Losing Your Head: After the Transcendents summon "CRC", he proceeds to crush Alice skull, however after some time has past, Alice has managed to self-revive herself although now without a head.
Reality Warper: Her special ability "Adventures in Wonderland" allows her to create a parallel reality based on story or adventure tropes, which — if followed to its conclusion — can allegedly overwrite the reality of the real world.
Third-Person Person: Always refers to herself as "this girl" instead of using either a pronoun or her name.
Wild Card: She's the most powerful member of the Bridge Builders' Cabal, but is whimsical, capricious, and extremely unpredictable. The other members of the Cabal bend over backwards to keep her happy, lest she ruin all their plans out of boredom or mischief.

Aradia

The Goddess of Witches

A Transcendent who identifies as the patron goddess of witches and the night. Her salvation condition is to protect all witches, or any person who currently fits her definition of one.

Casting a Shadow: Her power works through her shadow, which powers her magic through the potions she mixes into it using her feet.
Hot Witch: She looks like a beautiful eighteen-year-old woman with long silver hair and an extremely attractive figure. This is accentuated by her outfit, which resembles a cross between a bikini and a belly dancer's costume.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: She recharges by "moonbathing", i.e. standing naked in the moonlight. While she doesn't normally do this around other people, she doesn't really make much effort to guard her privacy either. Even when dressed, her outfit is highly Stripperific, and she has a tendency to unintentionally shove various scantily-clad parts of her anatomy practically into Touma's face — completely failing to understand why this flusters him.
Living Shadow: Her shadow is very strange, somehow not changing shape or angle regardless of the light shining around it and it even remains just one shadow even if light sources are shining from multiple directions. When she releases her Power Limiter, it stretches in three different directions and spins around her in a circle with an inhuman shape, but she is interrupted before the final result can be seen.
Ms. Fanservice: See Innocent Fanservice Girl above. The light novel illustrator is certainly fond of her.
Rule of Three: Aradia makes extensive use of it since it is a core concept of Wicca. Her magic, whether a good deed or a bad one, returns to her at three times the strength.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Bridge Builders' Cabal pulls this on her after she is deemed to have turned rogue, and appoints a new Aradia to take her place.

Bologna Succubus

The Bologna Succubus

A Transcendent who embodies the legend of succubi, with particular reference to a famous historical incident from Italy. Her salvation condition is to protect those who are falsely accused of wrongdoing.

Agony Beam: Her magic, Cold Mistress, converts pleasure signals into pain.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": "The Bologna Succubus" is the only way she is ever adressed.
Cute Monster Girl: Looks like an extremely curvy and attractive young woman who just happens to have bat wings and a long devilish tail.
Shameless Fanservice Girl: She has no compunctions about stripping half-naked in Touma's presence. Unlike Aradia, she's perfectly aware of the implications, but finds his flustered reactions amusing.
Stripperific: Her outfit consists of a lacy one-piece corset, accessorized with thigh-high stockings and fingerless gloves.

Good Old Mary

A Transcendent who can create life-giving miracles. She has the ability to restore the life of someone at the point of death, although this is subject to a number of limitations. Her salvation condition is to make life-giving care available to everyone regardless of wealth or social class.

Back from the Dead: Mary's main ability is to bring back someone who has just died or suffered lethal damage. This only works under certain conditions — it has to be done before the soul leaves the body, it cannot undo blood loss, and there is a limit to the number of times it can be used on any given person.
Eyes Out of Sight: The upper part of her face, which includes her eyes, is always hidden, usually by means of her Eye-Obscuring Hat.
Historical Domain Character: Of a sort. It is not said explicitly, but she is clearly meant to be the semi-legendary alchemist Mary the Jewess.
Team Chef: An extremely good cook, Mary is in charge of meals for the Bridge Builders' Cabal.
Team Mom: Very much the nurturing mother-figure within the Bridge Builders' Cabal.
The Medic: Given her abilities, this is her normal role. She can heal almost anyone of almost any injury, as long as the conditions are met.
Third-Person Person: Refers to herself in the third person as "mama".

Trismegistus

A Transcendent who uses a cane sword in battle, and is aligned with Hermeticism. Mostly referred to as H.T. Trismegistus. He cares for Alice and acts as her butler to entertain her. His actions are based on common sense which he frequently uses the phrase in his sentences.

Battle Butler: Essentially acts as Alice's butler.
Hammerspace: He can produce various objects out of thin air in a manner resembling that of a stage magician, as well as making them disappear again.
Hermetic Magic: His speciality magic, since he takes his name from the founder of Hermeticism, Hermes Trismegistus.
Iaijutsu Practitioner: Can quick draw his sword cane to devastating effects.
Undying Loyalty: Towards Alice, as unlike his fellow Transcendents who obey Alice out of fear of her power, in his case he cares for her as her master, and will not forgive anyone who harm her in any way.
Willing Channeler: His magic consists of invoking the names of two gods to gain spells fitting their characteristics.

Mut Thebes

A Transcendent who specializes in execution and punishment. She represents a ruler who will do whatever it takes to protect her people, and her salvation condition is to do just that.

Casting a Shadow: Her power works by having the shadow cast by her body absorb the shadows of the objects it comes into contact with, which she can then deploy from her body and wield as her own.
Spontaneous Weapon Creation: The main use of her magic, absorbing the shadows of weapons to then reproduce them and wield them.
Stripperiffic: Her clothing barely covers her. It is actually part of her magic, as she needs maximum exposure for the shadow cast by her body to touch the shadows of other objects.

Rosenthal Family

Obed Rosenthal

The first known patriarch of the Rosenthal family. His work in attempting to create golems from artificial souls branded him a heretic by rabbis and forced him to live in exile.

The Exile: The rabbis call him a heretic because of his work in creating golems from corpses.

Isaac Rosenthal

The fourth patriarch of the Rosenthal family. He continued the work of Obed by creating hybrid magic from Taoist magic combined with Kabbalah spells. His soul was placed in the Taowu onto the corpse of Hirumi.

Big Bad: For the Necromancy story arc.

Nathan Rosenthal

The fifth patriarch in the Rosenthal family.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Despite his achievements, Isaac doesn't hold him in high regard.

Esther Rosenthal

Voiced by: Yurika Kubo (JP), Amber Lee Connors (EN)

Debuting in A Certain Scientific Accelerator, she is a magician who sneaks into Academy City and seeks help from Accelerator. She's the current head of the Rosenthals.

Adaptational Badass: The anime shows her being able to fight against the DA goons in close combat.
Big Eater: Stuffs her face excessively.
But Now I Must Go: She covertly leaves Academy City after Isaac was killed alongside Hirumi.
D-Cup Distress: Lists a number of the problems with having big breasts (such as cute clothes not fitting her properly) in an omake.
Dishing Out Dirt: She can form armor out of dirt to augment her animated corpses.
Establishing Character Moment: When she's being chased by DA, she passes by two dead dogs. She uses them to attack one of the DA agents, and attempts to continue running away. She later reveals to Accelerator that she's able to raise corpses.
Fish out of Water: Is mystified by technology, including things like common restaurant food (curry, hamburgers, et cetera).
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She is very kind and polite to people. She also values human life and has a lot of respect for the dead.
Informed Judaism: The Rosenthals are clearly intended to be Jewish, but aside from working with golems and (generally mis)using some Hebrew terminology, very little identifies them as such. The "rabbis" in Obed's story look like Catholic priests, the golem refers to Esther as "Adonai" (which, while technically correct if it wants to call her "My Lord", is ridiculously heretical as it happens to be one of God's names^Note), and what little she says that could be construed as religious talk is more like generic Western Mysticism babble than anything Jewish. Partially justified, she and her family are explicitly The Heretic. Particularly the bit where her creations refer to her as God, as the spell she uses was invented by an Evil Sorcerer with a god complex.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: Does not care about being seen in her underwear by a boy. When Last Order tells her to cover herself up, she doesn't understand what the big deal is. She does however, cover up a naked girl with her cloak and asks her to not let herself be seen this way.
In the Hood: Wears a hooded cloak while sneaking through the city.
My Greatest Failure: She unknowingly helped Hirumi when she used a Taowu charm on her corpse after she died. It, however, allowed Isaac to take control of it. And she was forced to help her or people will be killed and the charms will be used.
Mysterious Waif: Not only is the mysterious DA Company pursuing her, but she carries a photo of Last Order and wants to know more about her.
Necromancer: Her magical specialty. She can help spirits move on to the afterlife and see the memories of the dead. She can also animate corpses.
Slipped the Ropes: She can escape very quickly from being bound by several belts.

Other Magic Side Characters

Ollerus

Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki (JP), Brad Hawkins (EN)

A strange little guy who almost became "Magic God" or "Majin". He effortlessly defeated Gunha simply to send a message to Aleister: Don't hurt the Gemstones. For reasons unknown, he is intent on protecting "Gemstone" Espers like Himegami, and ironically Gunha as well.

All-Loving Hero: He first intervened to secure the Gemstones' safety. Then, in the aftermath of World War 3, he saved Fiamma after Aleister blasted him. He also doesn't really seem to like having chaining up child traffickers because, in his own words:
Ollerus: Chaining those human traffickers up and making them do manual labor is no different than what they did. That isn’t what I want.
Badass Bookworm: Not a literal example. He has gained the knowledge of many grimoires by using the theory of Hliðskjálf to purify his lifeforce, transforming it into a special magical energy. This barely allows him to survive the process of taking a grimoire's knowledge within him.
Beware the Nice Ones: He's a really great guy who doesn't even like punishing child traffickers and sacrifices potential godhood to save kittens, but he's also capable of wiping the floor with Sogiita Gunha and is one of the most powerful magicians alive.
Big Damn Heroes: In New Testament Vol. 4, he arrives with Fiamma of the Right to save Touma from One-Eyed Othinus.
- In Volume 10 he appears in his newly depowered state to save Touma and Othinus from Silvia.
Big Good: So far. But given his Wild Card status...
Brought Down to Badass: The fairy spell casted upon him greatly weakened his power, to the point where he is now weaker than the average magician. It doesn't stop him from defeating Silvia and Brunhild in NT 10.
Butt-Monkey: Is constantly on the receiving end of Silvia's abuse. Apart from a scream or two, or a spurt of genuine terror, he just takes it all in stride.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: He can't ignore anybody in trouble, even a villain. This is in stark contrast to Silvia, who only helps people if it benefits her to do so. His attitude severely irritates her and she can't understand why he wants to help everybody.
Cuteness Proximity: He failed to become a Majin only because he didn't want to get a nearby kitten hurt.
Curb-Stomp Battle: He defeated Gunha, a badass Level 5, without even trying. Although he does take a moment to note if if Gunha actually mastered and knew how his power worked, the situation would have likely been reversed.
Hoist by His Own Petard: The fairy spell he created and intended to use against Othinus works just as well against him too because he also stepped into the domain of a Magic God. When Othinus manages to take it, master it, and use it back on him, he becomes weaker than the average magician.
Meaningful Name: The term Majin either means "God of Magic" or "Demon God". He is also named after a legendary figure in Norse Mythology called Ullr, which is romanized as Ollerus.
- His life is also similar to said mythological figure as depicted in the Gesta Danorum. He has a spell known as Hliðskjálf, AKA the Throne of Odin, much like how the mythological Ollerus temporarily took Odin's throne. And when he lost his chance for title of Majin, it was given to One-Eyed Othinus, much like how Odin—Othinus in Latin—reclaimed his throne.
Mysterious Watcher: He's been watching Touma's entire fight against Fiamma and Gabriel, and in the end saves Fiamma's life. He has also expressed interest in Aleister's Aeon of Horus.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: If you're a bad guy, oh yes.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In New Testament Vol. 8, he and Fiamma tried to turn Othinus into a fairy because it would power her down from being a god, only for the attempt to rid Othinus of her 50/50 restriction and make her a perfect magic god.
Reality Warper: His power is said to be utterly impossible to explain, but summing it up this way comes closest.
Torches and Pitchforks: About the entire Magic side is hunting him down because they seek his power, which is close to being a "Majin". They all fail.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: At the end of New Testament Vol 6, he infiltrates GREMLIN by transforming into Thor and taking his place.
Wild Card: He only cares about doing good. He's on nobody's side but his own.

Silvia

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (JP), Anastasia Muñoz (EN)

One of the 20 Saints in the world, she is acquainted with Kanzaki Kaori and Knight Leader. She went away from England to hone her maid skills and in her travels met Ollerus. She calls him an idiot, but an idiot that needs to be cared for.

Barrier Warrior: She can create walls of Telesma that can deflect even Thor's attacks. She can also make minor shapes with them like hands.
Bystander Syndrome: Her usual policy. If an event doesn't directly concern her, she doesn't care about it. She's really irritated about Ollerus helping people and dragging her into it.
Destructive Saviour: She got in trouble numerous times at Buckingham Palace for accidentally causing enormous damage to the palace while taking out assassins.
Thor: Y-You idiot!!
Silvia: I was called that a lot at Buckingham Palace too.
Friendly Enemy: Justified because of her Bystander Syndrome. Since she usually just gets dragged into things, she doesn't take her battles seriously and is quite friendly with her opponent. That said, she's also a Saint and could utterly curb-stomp most people into the ground in an instant if she so desired anyways.
The Gadfly: Constantly tries to rile up Leivinia about Touma.
Lightning Bruiser: She's a Saint, meaning she can move fast enough to break the sound barrier. She's also ridiculously strong, but her fighting style is designed to supress her own strength. Thor mentions he could not risk even blocking one of her punches otherwise the limb would explode.
Meido: The Head Maid of the British Royal family no less. She hands down the divine right to rule from God to them. She doesn't seem to be coming back any time soon, though.
Power Limiter: She created her current fighting style to allow her to fight and yet still suppress enough of her power so she wouldn't inadvertently destroy everything around her.
Revenge Before Reason: If anybody hurts Ollerus, she will make them suffer and then kill them, end of discussion. She doesn't even care if Ollerus forgives them. Brunhild has to tell her multiple times to just hurry up and kill Othinus when they finally catch up to Touma and her, but she refuses to stop beating on Touma and even stops Brunhild from killing Othinus herself because she wants Othinus to watch her beat and kill Touma first.
Tsundere: Type A for Ollerus. She has been repeatedly been called to return to England, but didn't. Her reason is apparently so ridiculous to be put in words.
Unreliable Expositor: One popular interpretation of her story about the "cat" that Ollerus saved instead of becoming a Magic God is that it was about her, and she did that edit to maintain her pride.
Whip of Dominance: Silvia is a whip-wielding domineering woman with a sadistic streak. She has a habit of whipping Ollerus when he annoys her.
Wild Card: She seems to not care about her duty with the British Royals, follows Ollerus, and is a Saint.
Yandere: Explicitly called one by the author as she beats Touma within an inch of his life for defending Othinus, as Revenge by Proxy for Othinus weakening Ollerus.

The Maiden of Versailles

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_femme_fatale.png

Voiced by: Yuka Keicho (JP), Mikaela Krantz (EN)

The twin sister of Elizalina, and the enigmatic woman ruling France behind the scenes. She is apparently one of the most powerful magicians in Europe, but has been put on house arrest and stripped of all political influence by the French government.

Action Girl: In contrast to Elizalina, who is a White Magician Girl.
Enemy Mine: Teams up with Carissa against Archangel Gabriel.
Foil: To her sister, Elizalina. Both of them lead nations, one of them manipulating people behind the scenes and the other helping nations prosper. One of them is skilled with warfare, while the other is an intelligent woman who helped her nation become independent and prosperous. Finally, one of them is a highly skilled magician, while the other is merely average in skill.
I Am Not Left-Handed: Was originally supposed to be unable to leave the palace of Versailles because she had been altered so that she could only survive the environment at the palace (a condition that was meant to be a check on her power by France's government), which leads to a momentary Oh, Crap! when she shows up on the battlefield in person.
Public Domain Artifact: Durandal, a sword said to have been forged from a shard of the Spear of Longinus.

Leep

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-priestess_of_bastet_236.png

An Egyptian Priestess who seeks the Book of the Dead from Index's mind.

The Beastmaster: With Bastet's magic, she can control any cat and see and hear through them.
Blood Magic: She cuts herself to activate Sekhmet's magic.
Cat Girl: Invokes this with her outfit, which makes it look like she has cat ears and a tail. She has cat-like eyes as well.
Heel–Face Turn: Index uses the Book of the Dead to communicate her idol's true feelings. Her idol encouraged her to become a beacon of peace and hope. Leep tearfully agrees.
Rule of Symbolism: Her cat-themed magic is based on both Bastet the Goddess of Cats and Sekhmet the Goddess of Lions.
Super-Speed: When using Sekhmet's magic.
Super-Strength: When using Sekhmet's magic.
Vapor Wear: Index mentions that her pink dress is see-through and she can see everything.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Everything she did was an effort to make sure her deceased idol, a Priestess of Sekhmet, did not die forgotten.
Wolverine Claws: With Sekhmet's magic, she can transform her hand into a massive lion's paw with really long claws.

"Christian Rosencreutz"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/christian_rosencruetz_toaru_majutsu_no_index.png

One of the most famous magicians, he is someone who belongs to the same group as Anna Sprengel, being the founder of her cabal, the Rosicrucian Order. He is the actual objective of the Bridge Builder Cabal, being summoned by the Transcendents to be their savior. Instead, he kills most of the cabal, annoyed and bored at always being asked for salvation, and goes on a rampage

This being is actually Johann Valentin Andreae, who posed as CRC when he was summoned. He sought to tarnish Christian Rosencreutz legacy out of jealousy.

Author Usurpation: His main motivation is jealousy from his completely invented character becoming famous and leaving him in obscurity.
Historical Domain Character: CRC actually is Johann Valentin Andreae, the 17th century German cleric who confessed on his death bed to have made up Christian Rosenkreutz and Rosicrucianism as a prank in his youth. He impersonates CRC to tarnish the legend that persisted after his death and eventually eclipsed him.
Translator Microbes: Use the same 'common tones' as the Transcendants to translate his words.
Verbal Tic: Tends to talk of himself as "this old man".
Victory Is Boring: Similar to Anna Sprengel, he is easily bored and doesn't try very hard to defend himself or retaliate.
