Description
Angelina Kudou Shields, known as Lina, is a quarter-Japanese magician. She is the granddaughter of Kudou Ken, expelled from Japan and settled in the USNA, and grand-niece of Japan's Magic Community Patriarch, Kudou Retsu, making her second cousins with figures like Fujibayashi Kyouko and Kudou Minoru.
Lina serves as Head-Captain of the USNA's elite magician unit "Stars" with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She holds the title "Sirius," awarded after defeating the previous holder, William Sirius, signifying her status as the USNA military's most powerful combat magician. Her duties involve high-risk missions, including hunting military deserters. These orders trigger physical revulsion and ethical conflict, despite her meticulous adherence. Her initial belief that magicians must serve their country evolves over time.
In appearance, Lina possesses blond hair, blue eyes, and a mature gaze, securing her wavy hair with ribbons. Her beauty is frequently compared to Shiba Miyuki's, earning them the joint moniker "Twin Beauties" at First High. Operating under the alias "Angie Sirius," she uses the illusion magic "Parade" to disguise herself with crimson hair and golden eyes, maintaining secrecy as a registered Strategic-Class Magician.
Her personality blends military discipline with personal vulnerabilities. She exhibits unwavering loyalty and responsibility as a soldier but harbors a gentleness incongruous with combat, leading Tatsuya Shiba to note her unsuitability for a soldier's mentality. She is polite and friendly socially, though easily flustered during intelligence work. A competitive streak surfaces around Miyuki, reflecting her drive to prove herself among the world's strongest magicians. Interactions with the Shiba siblings challenge her beliefs about magicians' obligations, fostering introspection.
Educated in the military since childhood, Lina joined "Starlight," the candidate unit for Stars, and ascended rapidly despite a total military career of 1.5 years when deployed to Japan. Her mission follows the Scorched Halloween incident, investigating Japan's suspected harboring of an unregistered Strategic-Class Magician. Enrolling as an exchange student at First High in 2095, she replaces Shizuku Kitayama, becoming a temporary Student Council officer to investigate suspects like Tatsuya and Miyuki.
Lina's magic emphasizes high-speed, small-scale combat. Her invocation speed surpasses Miyuki's, ranking among the fastest documented. She specializes in "Molecular Divider" (weakening molecular bonds), "Dancing Blaze" (kinetically manipulating knives), and "Muspelheim" (decomposing gas into plasma). As a Strategic-Class Magician, she wields "Heavy Metal Burst," a nuclear transmutation spell moderated by "Brionac," a specialized confinement weapon. She also employs "Parade" for disguise and "Virtual Satellite Elevator" for space deployment. Her combat style integrates physical prowess, including first-class hand-to-hand skills, knife-integrated CADs, and a data-fortified pistol. She resists Parasite infections and Mental Interference Magic.
Her relationships are multifaceted. She shares a mentor-student bond with Benjamin Canopus, her second-in-command in Stars, who later aids her defection. Sylvia Mercury First serves as her support analyst, providing sisterly affection. With Miyuki, she develops a rivalry-friendship dynamic, acknowledging Miyuki's strength after losing a duel. Her interactions with Tatsuya shift from adversarial to cooperative against parasitic entities. She harbors unadmitted romantic feelings for him, acknowledging his engagement to Miyuki. Erika Chiba deduces Lina's Sirius identity after combat encounters.
Lina's character development peaks during the Stars Rebellion. After Canopus helps her escape USNA forces, she defects to Japan with Yotsuba clan assistance. Formally adopted by Toudo Aoba, she naturalizes as Toudo Rina, serving as Miyuki's permanent bodyguard. This role replaces Tatsuya's duties and provides her livelihood under Yotsuba patronage. Her defection signifies a rejection of her earlier ideals, choosing personal agency over blind national service.
