Appearance:

Build
Mischief appears as a normal 10 year old girl. She is 4’ 6” with little muscle.

Hair
She has bright red, wavy hair that is pulled into two pigtails with straight bangs across her forehead. Pulled up, her hair reaches her shoulders. Otherwise, it reaches her mid-back.

Eyes
Her eyes constantly change color. (Think of Mai Waifu's eyes from Yandere Sim if you know her.)

Distinctive Features
A strange scar, almost like a thorn branch, adorns both wrists all the way around, though this is usually hidden by her sleeves and gloves.

Clothes / Armor
Mischief wears an outfit inspired by a jester. She wears a ruffly dress with a red, poofy skirt and a mainly blue and white top with red accents. The sleeves of the dress puff out above her elbows, then become a form-fitting, black, button-up style for her forearms. In addition, there is a white and black neck ruffle held on her shoulders by a black neck cuff with a red ribbon in the front. There is a large bow at the back of her dress directly above the skirt that matches her wrist-length, black gloves. Her stockings are mismatched with one leg yellow and striped blue while the other is solid blue. There are black, tight leg warmers on her calves, and she wears simple red flats. These clothes do not provide much defense for Mischief.

The mask she wears is mainly red, white, and gold. The face is red and white with gold outlines and has a wide, red-lipped smile. The mask also has five main red curled spokes on the top with a white spoke in between each red one. Each spoke is lined with gold, and while each one has a bell, these bells make no sound. This mask is imbued with magical properties that allow her to take the form of a human. Without it, she cannot take form. Even while wearing the mask, her voice can still be heard clearly.

Spoiler: Outfit 

**No ribbon or hat.

Spoiler: Mask 

**This, but with a wide smile, and you can see her eyes.

Spoiler: Hairstyle 

**This, but vermilion red.

Fighting Style

Weapons
Tarot cards - Contrary to the usual association of jesters or jokers with playing cards, Mischief uses a deck of tarot cards with the 22 Major Arcana cards and 14 Cup cards from the Minor Arcana on the side. Each one has magical properties that are explained in detail in the 'Abilities' section. These are kept in two pouches at her right side, the Major Arcana towards the front of her hip and the Minor Arcana towards the back.

Delwyn, the Long Dagger - This dagger, strapped to her left side, is long enough to be mistaken for a sword, the length of the blade being 18 inches. It is made with a silver and iron alloy where iron is predominant. Mischief doesn't like to use the dagger unless she has to, and usually only when she is forced into close-ranged combat. Despite not using it very frequently, Mischief has a natural talent and is extremely skilled in using it.

Spoiler: Delwyn 

Abilities
Mischief’s nature as a spirit grants her several abilities by default, but her true power lies in her use of the tarot cards. (Any cards with an * will not be used without opponent’s consent as according to the Battle Arena rules.)

Spoiler: Spirit Abilities 

Teleportation - Mischief is able to teleport anywhere within the arena.

**This can be used twice per battle with at least 2 posts between each use.

Minor telekinesis - While in any realm, Mischief can use a portion of her energy to move objects according to her will. Objects must be things she could easily lift on her own (typically no more than 100 lbs or 45 kg), and using this ability frequently will deplete her energy.

Spoiler: The Major Arcana 

These cards are the 22 main ones that have strong effects. No charge is required. Only one effect can be in place at a time. Mischief can also choose to cancel the effect early in order to use a different card. All card effects begin the post they were used.

**Cool down for all Major Arcana cards is at least 10 cards must be used once before the used cards return to the deck.

Spoiler: 0 - The Fool 

Mischief suddenly has incredible luck. The opponent’s strikes are more likely to miss their target by 20%, and when they do hit, they are less likely to hit vital areas.

**Lasts up to two posts.

Spoiler: I - The Magician* 

Mischief can use an opponent's ability that she has witnessed previously in the current battle.

**The duration of said ability is the same as it is for her opponent or three posts if there is no duration.

Spoiler: II - The High Priestess, V - The High Priest 

These two cards are used as a pair. When used, Mischief will be able to know the opponent’s actions before they happen during the reaction portion of the post following the use of the card.

**Lasts for one post.

Spoiler: III - The Empress, IV - The Emperor 

These two cards are used as a pair. Mischief receives divine protection, meaning the opponent’s attacks do 50% less damage than they normally would. Combined with her natural 50% defense, the opponent would be dealing 25% damage unless something happens to lower her natural defense.

**Lasts up to two posts.

Spoiler: VI - The Lovers 

Mischief forms a bond with the opponent. The opponent will feel the pain from any new wounds on Mischief, and vice versa. Mentality and emotions have no effect.

**Lasts up to two posts.

Spoiler: VII - The Chariot 

Mischief’s focus becomes absolute. She cannot be deterred by pain or fear.

**This can last up to three posts.

Spoiler: VIII - Justice 

The opponent’s sense of logic is turned on its head. What would normally be done by them is likely not to happen, and things they would never do, they are likely to do.

**Lasts up to two posts.

Spoiler: IX - The Hermit 

Mischief becomes invisible to the eye, and sounds she makes are diminished by half. Otherwise, she can still be sensed using the other senses.

**Lasts one post.

Spoiler: X - The Wheel of Fortune 

This is the only card that can be used with another card still active. This card allows Mischief to use a second card and activate its effects while the first is still active. For example, if Mischief has already played Strength, she can use this card to play Moon in addition to Strength. Each card would still have its own cool down. This can also be used with two Cup cards instead of two Major Arcana cards.

Spoiler: XI - Strength 

Mischief is granted supernatural strength(can lift up to 1000 lbs or 453.6 kg) that also affects her telekinesis.

**Lasts for two posts.

Spoiler: XII - The Hanged Man 

Once used, the opponent will find themselves tethered to one spot. They can still move, but they cannot leave the space they are in.

**Lasts for one post.

Spoiler: XIII - Death 

The opponent will find their mind clouded with the extreme fear of dying.

**Lasts two posts.

Spoiler: XIV - Temperance 

Mischief’s health is restored by 10%.

Spoiler: XV - The Devil 

The spirits currently summoned will have no morals, meaning they will have no problem trying to kill. Any kind spirits will become wrathful instead.

**Lasts two posts.

(If the Cup cards cannot be used, then this card will be randomly replaced with a different unused Major Arcana card upon use.)

Spoiler: XVI - The Tower 

A massive earthquake will occur, causing anything from splitting ground to collapsing buildings.

**Lasts two posts, the second post being aftershocks rather than an earthquake.

Spoiler: XVII - The Star 

Mischief’s health is restored by 15%.

Spoiler: XVIII - The Moon 

Mischief has the option to control illusions that the opponent sees. If she does not control the illusions, the opponent will experience illusions based on their worst nightmares.

**Lasts two posts.

Spoiler: XIX - The Sun 

Any negative statuses such as poison or hallucinations are cancelled, and Mischief’s health is restored by 5%.

Spoiler: XX - Judgement 

Mischief can turn back time by one posting round with the following rules:

- The opponent will be aware that they are performing the same actions they just performed.
- If a card was used previously, it will be considered used and cannot be used the second time around.
- When used, this card will restart the current post with a reaction and the following action. (This is because she has rewound time to when she has to respond to the opponent.)

Spoiler: XXI - The World 

The world gathers its energy around Mischief, allowing her to use a power she did not previously control. The power is chosen at random from the following list (range for all is 30 meters):

- Air Manipulation - She can control the air around her, including to form a sort of force-field with the defense of medium armor around herself. She cannot attack and have the shield at the same time.
- Darkness Manipulation - This mainly allows her to affect visibility, hide in the shadows, and travel in said shadows.
- Blood Manipulation - Mischief has control over any blood that is outside the body and not majorly diluted by other materials/liquids.
- Sound Manipulation - Mischief can increase or nullify any sounds that are made, but she cannot create sounds with no source, nor can she alter the sounds other than how loud they are.

**Last two posts.

Spoiler: The Minor Arcana - Cups* 

(All Cup cards should be considered to have the *.)

These cards give Mischief the ability to summon fellow spirits to aid her in battle. However, unlike the cards from the Major Arcana, these cards are drawn at random. Also, not all spirits will be helpful as they may do nothing, or they will turn on her. Most spirits can be attacked to make disappear early based on their level of persistence and personality traits. Specifics will be stated for each one.

**The spirits will naturally disappear after three posts. The card will return to the deck one post after the spirit disappears. Mischief can draw one card once all Minor Arcana cards have returned to her.

Spoiler: Ace of Cups 

Ace will appear as the opponent's ideal soul mate and attempt to seduce them. To Mischief, they appear as nothing more than a gray shade.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: Two of Cups 

Two appears exactly as Ace would. Two will attempt to possess the opponent and control them (once per post for roughly five seconds) in order to get some 'alone time'.

**Cannot be forced to disappear through attacks due to determination.

Spoiler: Three of Cups 

Three, the girl on the right, will follow behind Mischief and heal her 3% every post.

**Will disappear after two attacks on her.

Spoiler: Four of Cups 

Four appears as the man at the table. He will demand attention from the opponent in order to tell an outrageous story, and if it isn't given, then he will attack using hand to hand combat.

**Will disappear after two attacks.

Spoiler: Five of Cups 

Five is a spirit filled with envy. He will try to steal anything of interest to him from either fighter.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: Six of Cups 

Six will float above the battle and shout ridiculous commentary about it.

**Will disappear after two attacks.

Spoiler: Seven of Cups 

Seven is a useless spirit who will float around as though in a daze. The most she can do is accidentally interfere with an attack.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: Eight of Cups 

Eight is a vengeful spirit who will attack both fighters relentlessly using basic earth magic (including plants) until she is forced to disappear.

**Cannot be forced to disappear through attacks due to her burning hatred.

Spoiler: Nine of Cups 

Nine, the dancing girl, is a chatterbox. She will follow the opponent talking loudly nonstop, claiming that they're best friends.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: Ten of Cups 

Ten will persist on playing a game with all fighters and will resort to attempting to drag them where she wants them if she is ignored in the first post.

**Will disappear after two attacks.

Spoiler: Page of Cups 

Page will follow the opponent trying to talk to them about the opponent's life, in particular the worst parts of it. While it's not intentional, listening to what he says is likely to cause mental instability.

**Will disappear after two attacks.

Spoiler: Knight of Cups 

Knight will attempt to get the attention of both players in a romantic manner (usually roses) during the first post, but if he is ignored, he will begin to float around uselessly. If he receives attention, he will aid whoever gave him attention in their fight.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: Queen of Cups 

Queen will follow the opponent wailing until she is given attention. If attention is given to her in a nonviolent way, she will fight for the opponent.Before she disappears, if she was attacked, she will release a high-pitched scream.

**Will disappear after one attack.

Spoiler: King of Cups 

King is a peaceful spirit and will attempt to prevent any attacks that occur.

**Cannot be forced to disappear through attacks as he will purposely take some attacks.

Attributes
Strengths - Mischief has high agility (about twice that of an average human), meaning she can dodge more blows from opponents and her strikes will be faster and thus harder to react to. Also, her tarot card abilities cover a wide range, leaving her next move unpredictable to the opponent. Finally, as she is a spirit and not of the human world, her wounds won't affect her as severely as they would a human (by about 50%).

Weaknesses - Mischief is generally a long-ranged fighter. While she can hold herself in close combat, she is definitely on the weaker side of it. Another thing about her is that her mask and cards are essential to her. Destroying her cards would severely limit her abilities, and her mask is the reason she can take form. Without the mask, she will lose form and die if she doesn't find a nonliving vessel to control within one post.


Biography

Personality
Mischief behaves just as her name suggests. She loves to cause trouble and chaos. Actually, she thirsts for it. She will taunt even when she is in no place to taunt and make the opponent chase her just for the fun of it. She also has a slightly sadistic side as she will laugh at another's pain. She lives the afterlife on her own and views everyone else as below her in the sense that they're too dumb to ever truly understand her chaotic nature.

Background
Mischief was once a human, living her life as any other human would. At least, that's what Mischief believes. She can't actually remember anything of her human life, just that she was human. The first real memory she has is being reborn as a spirit and being forced to fight another new spirit to prove the worth of her existence. It was a struggle, but she survived and was able to continue living as a spirit. She loved the fight so much that she now goes from place to place causing all sorts of trouble so others will fight her and join her in causing even more chaos.

General Information

Spoiler: Delilah 

**To view more of this artist, visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPa...JA9Eg/featured.

Age
42

Gender
Female

Race
Cursed Human


Appearance

Build
Delilah is rather tall, 5'8", and slim, with little muscle or presence, but with a decent sized bosom.

Hair
Delilah has extremely long, black hair that she keeps in a braid that falls to an inch above the ground when she stands.

Eyes
Her eyes are jade green.

Distinctive Features
She appears rather young for her age, but this is due to her curse.

Clothes / Armor
In the beginning of any battle, Delilah has very loose, flowing, and long garments. Specifically, she wears a floor length dark purple skirt and a tight, long-sleeve, but deep-cut light purple bodice. Both the collar of the bodice and the hem of the skirt has fur lining it. As the battle wears on and she reaches Tier 3, the skirt will transform into tight leggings more suited to fighting instead. Her shoes are always gray winter-style combat boots with tight lacing.


Fighting Style

Weapons
None. If she should touch any weapon with the intention of using it to defend herself, it will burn her, the burns growing more and more severe until she lets go.

Abilities
Ability -

Attributes
Strengths - Delilah's strength is solely in her defense and her ability to grow immensely stronger in various ways as the battle progresses. She is a survivor, but by Tier 8, she will become deadly.

Weaknesses - The best way to kill Delilah is at the start, before she begins raising in Tier levels and grows stronger. While her defense is strong, she is not physically or mentally strong at the start, nor is she particularly cunning, fast, or magically inclined. Target her early, and the chances of winning are higher. Also, Delilah is unable to strike first due to her curse, automatically giving the opponent the upper hand at the start.
