Description
Kaori Kanzaki is an 18-year-old magician operating under Necessarius, the Anglican Church's Church of Necessary Evil. She stands between 170 and 176 centimeters tall, possessing long black hair usually secured in a high ponytail and distinctive purple eyes. Her signature asymmetrical outfit—a knotted white T-shirt exposing her midriff, modified jeans with one leg shortened, and sometimes a denim jacket missing its right sleeve—serves a functional magical purpose, enhancing balance and mobility through spell reinforcement rather than mere aesthetics. She fights primarily with a two-meter-long nodachi named Shichiten Shichitou ("Seven Heavens Seven Swords").
Born a Saint—one of roughly 20 individuals worldwide bearing bodily similarities to the Son of God—Kanzaki exhibited extraordinary innate abilities from childhood. Designated Supreme Pontiff of the Japan-based Amakusa-Style Remix of Church from birth, she grew disillusioned, believing her inherent "luck" brought misfortune to followers who suffered protecting her. This fostered a deep hatred for concepts of fortune and destiny. Three years prior to the main events, she defected from the Amakusa to join Necessarius in England, seeking to change her fate. There, she befriended Index Librorum Prohibitorum and Stiyl Magnus, forming a close, sisterly bond with Index.
Kanzaki initially projects a cold, taciturn, and stern demeanor, shaped by the trauma of Necessarius's repeated memory erasures inflicted upon Index. Each erasure caused Index to forget their friendship, leading Kanzaki to withdraw emotionally and accept powerlessness against destiny. Her interactions with Kamijou Touma catalyze significant change. After he saves Index and resolves conflicts involving the Amakusa, Kanzaki gradually reveals a kinder, more emotionally open side. She displays deep gratitude toward Touma, often becoming flustered or embarrassed near him, alongside a strong sense of duty and protectiveness, especially toward Index and her former Amakusa comrades. Despite formidable combat prowess, she struggles with technology, notably forming an attachment to a washing machine after initial difficulties, and uses tile-stacking exercises to manage stress induced by allies like Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
As a Saint, Kanzaki wields superhuman physical capabilities: supersonic movement, multi-ton strength, and enhanced vision enabling precision targeting of sub-millimeter objects. Her magic name, "Salvare000," translates to "Be the salvation of those who cannot be saved." Her combat style blends Eastern and Western traditions:
- **Sword and Wire Techniques**: Her primary attack, *Nanasen* ("Seven Flashes"), employs seven steel wires splitting into thousands for area control and cutting. *Yuisen* ("Single Flash") channels magic into her nodachi for mountain-splitting strikes capable of harming angels, reserved for lethal situations. She also uses wires to create three-dimensional magic circles, like the *Boundary of Forbidden Wires*, summoning protective deities and excluding civilians from battle zones.
- **Christianity-Derived Magic**: Her *Stigma* allows temporary divine power invocation, amplifying physical traits. She utilizes *St. Peter’s Interception Spell* to ground flying targets and healing magic based on resurrection feats.
- **Amakusa-Style Fusion Magic**: Drawing from Shinto, Buddhist, and Christian traditions, she switches magical energies for tactical flexibility, including *Lotus Flaming* for fiery explosions and *Cutting Lightning* to neutralize electrical attacks.
- **Breaker of God**: A high-stress mode enhancing her physiology to "superhuman" levels via regulated breathing and sword focus, though prolonged use risks self-damage.
Kanzaki later reconciles with the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church, returning as their leader under Necessarius. She remains a steadfast protector of Index and supports Touma during global conflicts, balancing leadership responsibilities with personal loyalty. Her journey reflects a shift from fatalistic acceptance to proactive defiance of destiny, underscored by her commitment to saving others without compromising her core values.
