Agnès “Clementine” Edelfelt
"I believe in Divine Retribution... It just so happens to come from my hand.
You sure you want to continue this folly?"

Murder doesn’t necessarily mean evil, right?

Full Name: Agnès Ronja Edelfelt
Alias : Clementine
Nicknames: Agnès is rarely referred to by her actual name by anyone other than family. To much of the world she is simply, Clementine. Shorting her ‘name’ to the likeness of Clemmie, Clem, or any other variation often results in a vicious outburst. Referring to her with other names that reference the different varieties of mandarin orange (such as the satsuma or tangerine or variations of them) will likely cause an even more aggressive outburst and perhaps a nearby object to be flung in the speaker's direction.
Date Of Birth: October 31st
Current Age: Twenty-six years old
Gender: Female
Nationality: Finnish
Origin Of Birth: Tallinn, Estonia
Occupation: Mercenary; World Traveler; Spy of the Western Wind
Appearance:
Agnès is something of an enigma, someone with a very distinct appearance yet often the descriptions of “Clementine” vary dramatically source to source. Discrepancies often involve the color of eyes, hair, and length of hair. Even, numerous variations of height exist in the records. Despite her fame, she balances her work in the shadows on a knife’s edge.
The true Agnès stands an just over a meter and half. Despite her height, or lack of it, Agnès is well built. Being of a leaner build, and not overly muscular. Her lean muscles are well toned, particular those of her core and back. The muscles of her arms and legs aren't necessarily weak, but considerably less noticeable.
Agnès’s most distinct features include her icy eyes, full lips and high cheek bones. She is notably beautiful and perhaps could still become a model despite her age.
Agnès sense of fashion is all her own. Much of her clothing she will wear, while not working, is frequently is of her own design. More often than not Agnès will wear a dress. But with anything she wears one can expect a large and eclectic selection of jewelry- primarily a number of different bangles on her forearms, a number of rings and always her necklaces.

But those who do take it upon themselves to kill others,
have to be prepared to have others try to kill them.

Height: 163 cm [5 feet 4 inches]
Weight: 45 kg [100 lbs]
Blood Type: B-Negative
Eye Color: Icy Blue
Hair Color: Platinum Blonde
Piercings: One on her nose and three cartilage piercings in her right ear. Additionally two piercings on both ear lobes.
Tattoos: ---
Distinguishing Features: Other than Agnès’s eccentric style. Her tanned complexion and pale hair tend to stand out in the crowded streets of Japan. In addition her facial features are quite unlike the Japanese- featuring full lips, large bright eyes and high cheek bones.
Personality:

Agnès can be said to be one who goes to the beat of her own drum. She is highly independent, a tad arrogant and dislikes being challenged for authority by those below her. Agnès also dislikes having to repeat the obvious or really have to do much explaining about it; if it’s obvious everyone should see it right?
In the grand scheme of things she can be seen as a bit heartless with disregard for the conventional measures of safety. However, when things get out of even her own limits for safety Agnès is able to think of her feet and roll with the punches. And more often than not will put herself in harm’s way rather than allow the “incapable”, as she says, to die “pointlessly”. Agnès has high faith for her skill in battle and highly enjoys fights of all varieties.
To those that know her as more than a colleague, or professor she still carries her independent free spirit. Although, Agnès is noticeably kinder to those who have a personal relationship with her. To an extent overprotective over those she is close to. Although, Agnès isn't one that could be a considered sensitive in love. Instead Agnès’s love can be described as “tough” love. She can be violent or aggressive towards her lover when she feels they are doing something stupid.
In general, Agnès can be described as prideful, aggressive, and having thick skin. She doesn't get emotionally attached to people and values growth through hardships. Although not to say she doesn't value the lives of those around her; she is just less likely to be terribly helpful towards others unless time is of the essence. Feeling that there are lessons to be learned and that people should learn to think for themselves; rather than have her tell them how to think. On missions, she seeks to utilize her resources to their best capability; often trying to take control of a situation rather than letting it spin out of control.

Likes: Agnès is heavily interested in fashion as well as some of the more bazaar accessories she can find. While, particular about what she buys; Agnès loves to window shop and find bargains on the things that interest her. Agnès other interests include music, concerts, dancing and some booze. She enjoys the night life, but rarely gets the opportunity to take part. Additionally, Agnès enjoys to travel and lives to find the next challenging battle.
Dislikes: Agnès is not immune to the prejustices she grew up around. Despite the Edelfelt owning a massive mansion in Japan; she doesn’t like the Japanese nor does she like some of the other prominent families. Agnès generally refuses to consume any variety of Asian food. She also finds shell fish distasteful.
Hobbies: Agnès can often be found listing to music, peoplewatching, sometimes day dreaming. Her free time is often used as time for relaxation rather than utilized for additional activities. In her time prior to working with the academy she would go sight-seeing after her mission had been completed.

And that’s what they call the law of Karma, my friends.

My History
“Alright, here goes the gist of my life story: the mostly unbiased, boring truth.”

“I was born to Annaliese Edelfelt, in late October some years ago during holiday in Estonia. I can’t say I've come to know my father. His presence has always been an absence in my life and my mother wasn't one to speak about him. Mother only tells me vague stories about their love affairs in Paris, Madrid, Antwep, Bussels, Cologne and Rome. He is an enigma and Mother only smiles, probably in jest of the things unknown.”

“Even without him, my mother managed. She spent many of her days drilling verses into my head, teaching me “proper” manners, as well as the “basics” as far my education is concerned. I’m pretty sure before I was eight-years old I was capable of reciting chapters upon chapters of verses from many of the books of the bible. My Mother taught me the need to be strong and independent of some fickle man who’d walk out anyway. I could only assume she had experienced that with my father and it was something of a scar for her. Something, she wasn't going to forget and something she instilled in me. Strength of spirit and mind last longer than any love interest will.”


I know you've suffered
But I don’t want you to hide
It’s cold and loveless
I won’t let you be denied

“As I grew old enough to partake in private school I still continued my lessons with my mother. I was quickly becoming a star in her eyes. I was capable of balancing school’s tedious and varied studies and continue the memorization and perfection of my fatal verse. I did not have time for extracurricular activities, nor time for young love. I kept focus on my dreams; the only things that mattered at the time. I had the talent, the interest and ambition to reach them.”

“I was soon accepted and enrolled into True Cross’s Cram school at the age of sixteen. I excelled in my coursework. I was considered a prodigy by some of my professors- particularly those that got the opportunity to witness my prowess in fatal verse. I graduated after four years with two exorcist certifications. Not long after graduating I began a six year tour around the world.”


Soothing
I’ll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

“My tour began in Estonia. The place of my birth and the place where my dreams would take off.”

“At first, people just asked for assistance in dealing with their minor problems. Demons of insignificance and possessions of little meaning. I put up with what I thought as pointless tasks, but eventually I made my break. I got the opportunity to work in a team to put a fiend in its place.”

“The group consisted of some crazy fighter, a tamer, and myself. We all had finished some kind of certification for becoming a exorcist.. I just remember that mission having an unfortunate end. While, we did.. eventually defeat the fiery fiend. It was also the first time I’d watch someone die. A defining moment of the differences between practice and text books and the real world. Because, of course, the unthinkable always happens.”

“Our, overzealous fighter began the fight well before we had even discussed a plan to tackle the fiend. He just dove in. Like, we were about so slay a series of goblins or some other insignificant foe. The tamer and I ran in shortly after to watch as he began to try and pound his fists into a ghost. One could only wonder what crazy idea he had in this mind to charge in like that.”

“While the tamer and fighter kept the fiend busy I completed a twelve line fatal verse that ended up killing it. I wasn't able to kill it before the fiend had dealt a fatal blow to our fighter. I didn't see what happened but looking up as the demon fell to the ground I could smell burning flesh. It was the worse smell one can imagine. The smell alone is something I can’t forget. But, I remember the tamer and I slowly walking to the bodies. It.. isn't something I should speak about..”

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty’s not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

“After that mission, I got my entrance into the world as something of an experienced exorcist. And people began to give me work that actually tested and grew my skills. From Estonia I traveled Europe for two years before I began to wander the world. My travels in China, Korea and Russia were probably gave the final push from simply an Aria to an Aria recognized around the world.”

“In the four years following my time at True Cross I’d grown a lot. Gained esteem, and prestige that outclassed even of my linage. I was then contacted by the Vatican to begin to work as a spy as I had for my many employers across the world. See, despite the fact my alias, Clementine, was known around the world. I’d managed to create an enigma where who I truly was and what I looked like was a discrepancy. As far as the world is concerned, I may be of the Edelfelt or I may have managed to outclass even their standards.”

You trick your lovers
That you’re wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

“Anyways, I took up the work from the Vatican. I was put into a group known as the Western Winds. Essentially my job was to work as a double agent in targeted organizations and groups and feed the Vatican information. That is what I was doing for the last two years. I still got to travel fairly consistently. Although not to the standard I’d enjoyed the years prior. As, the Vatican work was fairly… Long term. For my tastes.”

“This year, they've decided to take me out of the espionage almost entirely. I’m to watch over the youth of True Cross Academy- wasn’t that long ago I was still as youthful as they are now. Funny how those Vatican a**-hats always seem to find a way to make you feel old… But, of course I still get to indulge in some fun. I’ve been tasked to investigate the more unusual matters that are happening around True Cross. It may be nothing but obviously someone thinks it could be… Something… More sinister. I feel this is a point in time where I may have to choose to keep my enigma… Or let it go by the way side to claim my fame… And to grow it.”

Please me
Show me how it’s done
Tease me
You are the one

{Part of the} Lyrics of “Undisclosed Desires” by Muse
Relatives:
Annaliese Edelfelt (mother): Agnès is on good terms with her mother. Annaliese is particularly proud of Agnès because she is aware of Agnès's extensive growth and knows of the girl's exploits.
??? (father): Agnès's father is an enigma to her and she'd likely want to beat the man if she were to see him any time soon.

My Goals: “I once dreamed of being known worldwide. And well, I think I met that goal.”
“Now I quest for power. To transcend generational boundaries.. To make a name for myself that will last for generations.”

The world being what it is, a lot of people out there deserve to die, don’t they?

Meister Secondary Type: Tamer


Familiar Name: An’givare
Familiar Type: Wyvern [Kin of Anyanka]
Familiar Description: An’givare is a wyvern, a lesser dragon who isn't anything short of a fearsome foe; capable of flying at both high altitude and speed- a creature who prefers getting to dive down on his unwary adversary. Like most wyvern’s An’givare sports a massive jaw capable of killing his prey with a single bite to their neck, back or other vital areas; has a powerful sense of smell and sharp eye sight; can shoot out bolts of lightning from his mouth; and create small tornado with a flap of his wings. While, a fairly intelligent creature An'givare tends to act on his instincts rather than cohesive thought out plans- making him a rather unpredictable combatant. In truth, An'givare is an unusually quiet creature who more often than not communicates with growls, grunts and other low hiss-like noises. His roar is to be feared as it is capable of summoning a massive thunderstorm.
Familiar Description Appearance: An’givare is an young wyvern Agnès found in the Transylvanian alps. An’givare’s body would be seemingly built to accomplish two things- to kill efficiently and to get away with doing it. This wyvern boasts a leaner build than those of his cousins to allow for both higher speeds in addition to more fluid movement in the air. His head is crested to avoid wind damage to his sensitive back when making dangerous dives and his spinal column has long bony prominences that form a sort of “fin” although it seems to serve no other purpose than protection for the sensitive skin around it. An’givare’s jaw is massive in size- although lean in design seemingly with the intent to be used not unlike a wild cat’s- to break the creature’s neck as the method of killing. Additionally An’givare has a number of long, sharp talons to grip or cut his prey with both on his “toes” and along the tips of his wings. While An’givare doesn't boast large scales like many of his kin, his skin isn't particularly vulnerable either. Save a spot on his upper back that marks where his heart lies, the place glows a cold icy blue. An’givare's body is marked not unlike the Siberian tiger, his body an iridescent white and his markings a midnight blue. Due to his iridescent scales An'givare is commonly mistaken for an UFO because of how light reflects off his body causing unexplained "lights" to appear in the sky.
Familiar Appearance: [An’givare]
Familiar Ability: Stormcaller

• In addition to the more typical abilities of wyverns and other kin of Anyanka- An’givare has the ability to “call” a vicious thunderstorm at will. The summoned storm is hazardous for both his tamer and foe as the wind begins to pick up and rain (snow, or hail) pours down. Visibility drops to the point where one can barely see their hand an arms width away from them. Additionally, lightning strikes more frequently in this magical storm. The storm will begin to form after An’givare releases an ear shattering roar, the sound can be heard for miles.
Familiar Bond: Agnès’s bond with An’givare was forged early in her international travels. Wasn't long after ridding rural parts of Estonia of some of the demons that plagued it that Agnès received a curious invitation. A plea to visit the “vampire” cursed lands of Transylvania. In one of the hamlets near the alps of Carpathian Agnès spent a week hunting out the alleged “vampires”. In truth, the villagers had no reason to believe the disappearances were because of vampires. As the bodies of victims seemed to have vanished entirely, most frequently when leaving the village to collect things from the wilderness. Eventually Agnès began to follow villagers in secret as they left the village gates to wander the wilderness. On the seventh day Agnès witnessed the true face of the alleged “vampires”. While, not a vampire, the creature was another monster of folk lore- none other than a large Wyvern. There was no hope for the unlucky villager as the creature struck quickly- seeming to appear from thin air to deliver a fatal blow to the man’s back, quickly snapping the spine with a grotesque snap of the creature’s jaws. Agnès watched as the creature flew off towards the Transyvanian alps with his snack, watching to find the creature’s lair. Agnès climbed the rugged mountain paths to reach the location of the Wyvern's lair- knowing the battle would likely be one of life and death.
The battle with Wyvern was one that according to locals went on for nearly a day. Agnès couldn't be sure of time, as she battled the creature within its own storm near the top of the mountain. Neither the Wyvern nor Agnès could seem to find a means to the end for the other. After some time of clashing magic, lightening, and the whipping of snow and ice the storm began to fade. The sky was clear above and the sun only beginning to rise. The Wyvern stood weakly but ten feet away. He no longer had strength to fly, let alone release a final blast of lightening towards his assailant. Instead he barely had strength to keep his balance on the snow. The creature then seemed to admit defeat by letting its head hang low to reveal its point of weakness- a spot on its upper back that glowed a cold icy blue. Agnès knew this was the creatures heart- but she wasn't interested in killing the beast any longer. She too was exhausted and struggled to keep herself from falling to the icy ground. Thus, Agnès slowly came up to the creature and ran her hand along the creature’s neck. Only to embrace the beast as she reached his head. In that moment of foolishness a strange bond was formed. One that wouldn't be soon forgotten.


Familiar Name: Vermeille
Familiar Type: Kin of Anyanka
Familiar Description: Kirin
Familiar Description Appearance: Vermeille is a lanky deer like creature with a single horn protruding from its forehead. The horn distinctly curves towards its body, unlike a unicorn, and is a brilliant white-silver color. The creature’s body is well built and adapted for speed, when running it can be difficult to distinguish as much more than a white blurr.
Familiar Appearance: [Vermeille]
Familiar Ability: Amitābha - Infinite Light

• An unusual ability that allows Vermeille to conjure mutliple illusions of light that look identical to itself. While, not particularly deadly on its own, the illusions can be controlled to the creature’s preference. Allowing diversions to be made, or to allow the beast to gore a confused adversary.

Familiar Bond: The pair met in the tranquil gardens of Saihō-ji in Kyoto. Vermeille served as a guardian of the temple for hundreds of years, but in recent years past had begun to grow hostile as few came to give offerings. Instead, merely as tourists to enjoy the serenity of Saihō-ji’s moss gardens. Agnès had also come to the gardens as a tourist to find some peace in the thick night air. Instead finding an eerie sight of a snow white Kirin standing at the edge of the mossy clearing starring up towards the moon. The creature turned to see who had come empty handed to its sanctuary. Speaking telepathically to the fair haired woman, questioning her intent with harsh words.
Agnès answered the creature truthfully, telling the beast she had come to find peace- the same sort of serenity it longed for. The creature’s tone and words then changed, from hostility to one of yearning and curiosity. They spoke some time into the night about the topic of serenity- the lack of it in the places they called a safe haven. The Kirin was frustrated with the lack of respect given towards the temple, the influx of visitors opposed to pilgrims and how he had become some forgotten myth. A mere rumor to those who preserved the place, it enraged the beast.
Agnès offered to take him from the temple, to make a pact. One which he would find a new purpose, to be something more than a mere ghost story. The beast accepted the woman’s offer, agreeing to serve her due to the likeness of their spirits.
