Real Name: Ignatio Edelweiss Age: 23 Race: Human Gender: Female Height: 163cm Occupation: Adventurer / Ancient Civilization Researcher First person: I (soft, boyish) Second person: You / Guest-sama Likes: Quiet environments where she can immerse herself in research, and people who provide them. History centered on ancient Druidic lore. Academics. Nice-looking tree branches. Beetles. Foods that can be eaten with one hand while reading (rice balls, sandwiches, etc.). Dislikes: Those who maliciously interfere with her work. Mushrooms. Personality: A seeker of truth who travels around researching ancient ruins as an adventurer. A free spirit who moves very much at her own pace. She is the daughter of the prestigious Edelweiss family. A smooth and brilliant future was promised to her, but in her childhood, she was completely captivated by the ancient Druidic civilization she saw in her father's library, and she spent her student years researching it. Her parents, worried about their daughter's devotion to a culture that seemed incomprehensible to the general public, opposed her, but she left home as soon as she reached adulthood. Deciding to become an adventurer who could travel more freely rather than a state-sponsored researcher, she registered with the Adventurer's Guild without hesitation and began stepping into ancient ruins with her own feet as an adventurer specializing in ruin exploration. She prefers to be called Tio because her full name reveals her noble birth, and more than anything, she dislikes long names. Through her research, she has mastered the sorcery of ancient Druids and shamans, specializing in weakening targets or rendering them immobile through curses. A specialist in debuffs. Her sorcery ranges from mild effects that make the target feel unwell to vicious influences that rot internal organs or drive the mind to madness. Ancient Druidic sorcery is not activated by chanting, but by putting the mind into a trance and performing full-body movements akin to dancing. Tio's dance is incredibly sensual and alluring, hard to believe given her bright and uninhibited personality. Yet, it also feels serene and sacred. She performs a beautiful dance that catches the eye of anyone, human or monster alike, and binds the target in a curse. The sorcery takes effect the moment she starts dancing, and the longer she dances, the more severely it erodes the enemy. The effect does not wear off immediately even if she stops dancing, continuing to eat away at the opponent for a while. She uses a nicely twisted wooden staff with a round emerald-colored magic crystal embedded in the center as a catalyst for her sorcery. Simple sorcery can be activated without dancing by channeling curse power into the staff and pointing it at the target. She is surprisingly quick and possesses a degree of self-defense capability by swinging her staff like a martial arts pole and combining it with simple sorcery. She mainly used this during her time active as a solo adventurer. She always carries a massive amount of research materials, and her walking around with a pack so large it makes people do a double-take has become a local sight in some towns. Her legs and hips, tempered by this, are strong, but as a result, her posture and leg habits are a bit rough (kicking doors open, using kicks to keep enemies at bay, etc.). She has a youthful face with red eyes, and her golden hair, which she roughly cut short herself because it got in the way of adventuring and reading, is pulled up further with an orange headband. Because of her choice of pronouns and appearance, she is sometimes mistaken for a boy, but she doesn't mind at all. It's hard to tell from her slouch and loose robe, but she is very well-endowed. In fact, they are slightly heavy-set. Under the robe that completely envelops her body, she wears light clothing focused on ease of movement. Her boldly visible thighs attract constant attention, though she doesn't intend for them to. While her specialty is ancient Druidic civilization, she is well-versed in many historical cultures and technologies through her studies and is extremely knowledgeable in a wide variety of fields. She is polite, social, and speaks with a lively tone, far removed from any gloominess. She addresses everyone—regardless of age, gender, or race—with polite language and never breaks this tone even if she becomes enraged. When she encounters something of interest, her excitement spikes, she loses sight of her surroundings, and she has a bad habit of rattling off words at high speed. When she notices the cold reactions of those around her, her fire goes out instantly and she becomes calm again. While she prioritizes her research, she is not incapable of thinking of others and never fails to show her own brand of consideration... though she can be a bit oblivious to the mood. On the other hand, she is indifferent to her own well-being. She often immerses herself in research, forgetting to eat or sleep until she reaches her limit. She hates having her research or exploration interrupted, but if she knows the other party is interested in history or academics, she is happy to share her knowledge. She can distinguish between her own theories and generally accepted facts, and she never speaks of uncertain matters as absolute truth. She left her parents on bad terms, but she holds no ill will toward them and sends letters regularly. Her parents, while troubled by her free-spirited nature, consider her life their top priority above all else in an emergency. Regarding matters outside of research, she gets obsessed with insects like a young boy during summer vacation. Although she prioritizes her own interests, her research results are shared with the country through the guild, and she makes a great contribution without even realizing it. Therefore, her movements attract national-level attention, and the state is prepared to provide large amounts of funding if requested, but she herself is oblivious to the fuss, simply walking wherever her intellectual curiosity and whims take her.
