History Characters / ACertainMagicalIndexGremlin

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:By the end of NT Vol 9, she realizes Touma has become her equal, a person traveling the multiverse searching for home, and the only person who truly understands her.]]

* NotSoDifferent[=/=]BirdsOfAFeather: Take away the humility from misfortune along with the block on developing supernatural abilities and add the [[NominalHero childishly]] [[TheUnfettered extremist]] nature the magicians of Index verse tend to develop, he's basically Touma if he never had the Imagine Breaker.
* PersonOfMassDestruction[=/=]OneManArmy: His speciality is war. It's gotten to the point where he can't "level up" any further without seriously fighting someone on his level...which would mean entire cities being destroyed in the process. [[spoiler:This is the reason why he wishes to fight Touma so badly, as he can go all out without worrying about the damage due to Imagine Breaker.]]

* PhysicalGod: As a Majin, [[spoiler:the highest position next to ''The One Above God'' Fiamma attained briefly. Not only does she take on the weakened Fiamma and Ollerus, but also goes against Touma ''then'' the Invisible Thing.]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: As seen in the picture.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfit is compared to a swimsuit.

* BlessedWithSuck[=/=]CursedWithAwesome: She has infinite potential as a Majin, however her success rate is always 50/50. While she may defeat the strongest opponents 50% of the time, she might also lose to the weakest opponents 50% of the time. She wants Gungnir to overcome this problem. Funny enough, this proves to be a formidable advantage when battling Imagine Breaker, and later, the Invisible Thing; since Touma has very bad luck, it tilts the scales in her advantage, to the point where victory is deemed miraculous.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:She doesn’t think she deserves to be saved because of her actions and how much Touma suffers to protect her. She uses up the last of her magic to summon her crossbow so she can keep Touma away from her while the “Turn into a Fairy” spell finishes her off. She survives the attempt thanks to the Magic Gods of True Gremlin.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:She is Touma’s final opponent of NT Vol. 10’s BossRush. Believing herself to not be worth saving, Touma has to fight his way through her crossbow attacks to try and save her before she dies from using all her remaining magic.]]

* ManInWhite: His entire attire is white.

[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/othinus_8619.png]]

* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Touma becomes this for her in NT Vol. 10. Ollerus claims that if he died, she would become a more frightening monster than anything she had shown before.]]

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Just mentioning Sphinx's name is enough to cause her to outright breakdown and require Touma to do everything he can to cheer her back up. Considering how fearless she is even when having to stare down other Magic Gods when she has no power of her own anymore, it's quite a MoodWhiplash.]]

* TheMentor/MissionControl: [[spoiler: Essentially becomes this for Touma after being BroughtDownToNormal. She often sits on Touma's shoulder (even referring to it as her personal spot, she gets [[ClingyJealousGirl testy if someone else is using it for whatever reason]]) to inform him of new threats he's facing off with from the Magic Side and various different strategies. Combined with Touma's already high level of analytical skill on the battlefield, this makes them a lethal combination.]]

* DeityOfHumanOrigin

* GenderBender: It's strongly implied that she is the real, original Odin and that she hasn't always used the form she uses now. Why she was a bearded old man before and a teenage girl now is not elaborated on.

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:She destroys Dáinsleif [[PragmaticVillainy because the end of the world would ruin her plans]]. What does she do once she obtains the real Gungnir and completes her goal? See WhamLine below.]]
** On the other hand [[spoiler:when she does so she recreates the world with her powers as a RealityWarper whereas Dáinsleif would have caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]

* TheSociopath

** EmotionBomb: When the blade is unsheathed slightly, [[spoiler: it causes a foe's heart to stop out of fear of what would happen if the blade was fully unsheathed... It doesn't work on Touma, even without Imagine Breaker, because he does not fear it at all]].]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Morally absent or not, she didn't take [[spoiler: Bersi AKA Kihara Kagun's death well.]]
** UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: In response to Bersi's death she tried to summon the Apocalypse! Othinus quickly disapproved of it due her actions being RevengeBeforeReason.]]

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: [[spoiler: Using Draupnir she can produce any magic sword or spear usable by humans.]]

** [[spoiler: Ollerus fixed her so she can shapeshift now.]]

* HourOfPower: Her magic stops working at midnight or dawn, [[spoiler: which Birdway emulated using a tanker truck... that she hit her with and set on fire to resemble a sunrise.]]

* NakedOnArrival: After she gained the ability to shapeshift, she can't take her clothes with her. [[spoiler: In New Testament 5, she smuggles herself into Academy City by turning into a powder and mailing herself. Mugino receives the package, "cooks" her, and she returns to human form naked.]]

* TheGardener: She has to be a gardener to use her magic.

* HostageSituation[=/=]IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler: She manipulated some people into doing her bidding by holding their children hostage.]]

Mjölnir is a sorcerer who was at first mistaken for a spiritual item but in actuality has optimized their physical body into various the forms of the hammer. Guarded Radiosonde Castle and fought with Kanzaki Kaori on even ground for a time.

* ReliableTraitor: [[spoiler: Touma forms an EnemyMine with him in New Testament Volume 5, knowing full well that Thor will eventually try to betray him, since Thor is really effective at what he does. He's also not very loyal to GREMLIN.]]

* {{Badass}}: One of the most powerful beings in the Magic Side.
** LittleMissBadass: She looks like a 13-14-year-old girl.

* {{Badass}}[=/=]DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:It took [[LittleMissBadass Birdway]] to bring her down, after she pretty much held off Kamijou, Mikoto, Mark Space and Birdway's men, Hamazura, and she was about to nail Accelerator in the process.]]

** EmotionBomb: When the blade is unsheathed slightly, [[spoiler: it causes a foe's heart to stop out of fear of what would happen if the blade was fully unsheathed... It doesn't work on Touma, even without Imagine Breaker, because [[{{Badass}} he does not fear it at all]].]]

* {{Badass}}: Kicked the crud out of Touma for a while until he turned the tables.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Created an artificial sky over GREMLIN's base, so that [[spoiler:any spy would read the wrong stars and determine an incorrect location for the base.]]

* HourOfPower: Her magic stops working at midnight or dawn, [[spoiler: which Birdway emulated using a tanker truck...[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome that she hit her with and set on fire to resemble a sunrise.]]]]

* MagicByAnyOtherName: It is actually unknwon if her power is ''truly'' magic, as such her status as a magician is disputed, but GREMLIN doesn't really care so long as she can be useful.

** Notably [[spoiler: she still calls herself a god even after she is BroughtDownToNormal.]]
* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler: As of New Testament Vol 10, it is now known that, not only is she not the only Magic God, but there is also an entire organization made up of them, from all of the world's religions. They seem to be also more powerful than her, as she did not even know of their existences, allowing them to manipulate her and Touma for their own goals]].

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: At the end of NT Vol. 10 she is reduced to [[FunSize 15 centimeters tall]] and has too little magic to be able to use it at all.]]

* ChewToy: After she was [[spoiler: [[BroughtDownToNormal brought down to chibi]], she's this to Sphinx.]]

%%* DeityOfHumanOrigin
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: She doesn’t think she deserves to be saved because of her actions and how much Touma suffers to protect her. She uses up the last of her magic to summon her crossbow so she can keep Touma away from her while the “Turn into a Fairy” spell finishes her off. She survives the attempt thanks to the Magic Gods of True Gremlin.]]

* ExposedToTheElements: She is completely unaffected by the cold despite her outfit, and Touma remarks that she feels warm. [[spoiler:However, in NT 10, since her powers are fading away, this is because she's dying and going numb.]]

* EyeScream: Missing an eye, as expected of Odin, and wears a patch to cover it up. Later, [[spoiler: she pulls Gungnir out of her right eye socket. Her right eye is stored in Mimir's Well in Denmark. If it is returned to her, she will lose her powers and become human.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: She is Touma’s final opponent of NT Vol. 10’s BossRush. Believing herself to not be worth saving, Touma has to fight his way through her crossbow attacks to try and save her before she dies from using all her remaining magic.]]

** On the other hand [[spoiler: when she does so she recreates the world with her powers as a RealityWarper whereas Dáinsleif would have caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler: Is completely nonchalant about accidentally blowing off her own right arm in NT Vol. 6, since Marian is on hand to repair it. Later, she doesn't react to firing her crossbow through her own body, which automatically heals itself.]]

** PropheticName:[[spoiler:Othinus symbolizes the Norse God Odin, much like Ollerus does; and from what we know, this carries over to their relationship, as that also symbolizes how Ollerus temporarily took Odin's throne--hell, Ollerus has the power of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hli%C3%B0skj%C3%A1lf Hliðskjálf]], which is the name of Odin's throne for crying out loud! But then, Odin reclaimed the throne--much like how Othinus claimed the title of Majin by stealing it from Ollerus.]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler: Touma becomes this for her in NT Vol. 10. Ollerus claims that if he died, she would become a more frightening monster than anything she had shown before.]]

* PyrrhicVillainy: [[spoiler:In the end, Touma is simply not capable of beating her. He can't even land a single punch before she kills him. However, his dying words make her realize that her goal is ''entirely pointless.'' Sure, she can change the world back to the way it originally was, but no one understood or liked her back then anyway. She gives up, revives Touma and brings back the world she had ended before.]]
* RealityWarper: The only explicit limits to her maximum power at its peak [[spoiler:are mental ones. She is not omniscient and doesn't know how to properly revert changes that she's made.]]

* ShaggyDogStory: Almost. [[spoiler: NT 10 was a boss rush journey for her and Touma to retrieve her eye from Mimir's Well in Denmark to prevent her from dying as Ollerus' fairy spell starts affecting her. Touma not only gets heavily beaten up by foes and former allies alike, but in the end they never recover her eye. Subverted in a DeusExMachina fashion as True Gremlin restored what was left of her because having her lost could affect Touma greatly. However, she hasn't turned human, and the fraction of her that was recovered was so miniscule that even though she's a Majin, her magic power is next to useless.]]

** [[spoiler: And now consider that all of that was merely to distract people from realizing her ''true'' plan to forge Gungnir herself.]]

* TheUnfettered: [[spoiler:Consider the Radiosonde Castle incident in which entire mountains were flattened just to track Imagine Breaker, and the fact she had her puppets make Kilauea erupt so Dvergr could use it as a forge to get closer to crafting Gungir, and you've got a case in point. Don't even get started on the whole "theocratize the United States" plan.]]
** [[spoiler: And now consider that all of that was merely to distract people from realizing her ''true'' plan to forge Gungir herself.]]

* GenreSavvy: When he finds a girl who seems to be in a situation way over her head, he tells her to find Touma Kamijou if she wants to live, as girls around him tend to do inexplicably fine, regardless of the situation.
