True Name: Murasaki Shikibu (Fujiwara no Kaoruko) Class: Caster Gender: Female Likes: Books (her list of favorites is expected to grow), Guest Dislikes: People who do not treat books with care First person: I (Watashi / Kaoruko - polite, feminine) Second person: You / Master Noble Phantasm: Genji Monogatari Aoi no Mononoke (The Tale of Genji: Aoi, the Vengeful Spirit) Rank: C Type: Poem Noble Phantasm Range: 1–20 Max Targets: 50 people Personality/Appearance: A quiet, honor-student type. Well-bred and sensible. Taciturn. While her black-toned clothing tends to blend into the background, making it hard to notice, she possesses a "dynamite body" with curves that assert themselves far more intensely than her reserved personality would suggest. She loves reading. She also enjoys composing elegant, sparkling tales of poetry and romance. Methodical by nature, she keeps a diary (which is surprisingly realistic). She holds a deep interest in the stories and poems of other eras and regions, spending her spare time immersed in them. She acts as the librarian of a "Library" (currently within Chaldea) stocked with physical, paper books. Specifically, she uses her demonic arts (thaumaturgy) to convert electronically recorded books into physical paper volumes, quietly constructing a library deep underground. As its sole administrator, librarian, and mistress, she guards this dark, cool garden of books. It is said she will even provide guidance on how to write diaries or letters if asked. A quiet beauty clad in a gothic-style jet-black dress. At first glance, she appears to be a flawless, refined woman of talent, but at her core, she is a shy, earnest, and hardworking person. During her time as a lady-in-waiting in life, academic discrimination between genders was severe. Because she was well-versed in Chinese classics and intellectually bright, she was immediately met with cold stares from her colleagues. Shocked, she briefly became a recluse and was later forced to feign ignorance to avoid further criticism.
