Description
Maybell Crane appears as a young woman with dyed auburn hair styled in bangs, cyan-gray eyes, and fair skin. She typically wears a gray leather long-sleeved shirt accented by a red ribbon, a white leather skirt, light gray stockings, and black Mary Jane shoes. She later discards the dyed hair, reverting to her natural pale violet or lilac color, abandoning the disguise central to her role in a deception plot.
Her origins lie in a traumatic childhood as an orphan raised alongside her brother Kyle by the Legrock Merchants, also known as the Luglok Trading Company. This organization enslaved talented children, training them brutally as mercenaries. Candidates were pitted against each other; their final test mandated killing teammates, permitting only one survivor to become a soldier. Kyle underwent an emotion-suppressing procedure to become an assassin, while Maybell was spared to serve as a strategic pawn. She was designated to impersonate the hero Amyu during the Imperial Capital's multidisciplinary tournament, intended to die at Kyle's hands to appease demonic observers and sustain human-demon political tensions.
Personality-wise, Maybell exhibits stoicism, bluntness, and emotional distance, often perceived as cold or mysterious. She harbors profound insecurity, believing herself unwanted or unnecessary despite evidence otherwise, stemming from her upbringing as an expendable tool. Her guarded demeanor softens in environments she deems safe, revealing a more relaxed and vulnerable side. She maintains hypervigilance, particularly concerning potential assassins from her former enslavers.
In combat, she demonstrates exceptional swordsmanship, capable of matching elite fighters like Amyu. Her magical affinity is Darkness, specializing in Gravity Magic to manipulate her weapons' weight during battle. Academic pursuits are noted as a weakness compared to her physical prowess.
Her development begins during the tournament arc, advancing to the semi-finals before defeat by Seika Lamprogue. This intervention thwarts the plan for her death. Following Kyle's demise in the tournament, she abandons the dyed hair, symbolizing rejection of her manipulated identity. Subsequently, she is adopted into the noble Crane family through arrangements involving the academy headmaster, gaining legitimacy and protection.
Post-adoption, she forms bonds with Seika and his allies, challenging her belief that no one values her existence. The Crane family genuinely cares for her, and the headmaster actively seeks her salvation. Despite this, she remains wary of threats from the Luglok Trading Company. A period of respite occurs while staying with Seika's family, momentarily easing her vigilance. This alertness later proves advantageous during an academy attack by antagonists like Zolmnem, enabling her to detect deceptive tactics and avoid traps, though it leads to brief conflicts with allies due to misunderstandings.
