Seventh Magician was a fortune teller of Rollam in the Lucifenian Republic and a member of Père Noël. Recruited into the organization by Julia Abelard and her apprentice, Seventh was given the Venom Sword and operated from her fortune telling shop, changing the faces of her many shady clients for a fee.

Early Life
Born sometime during the 6th century EC, the woman set up shop on the main street in Rollam and gave out fake fortunes to the visiting nobles and merchants from across Evillious. Sometime later, she was approached by Julia Abelard and her apprentice Mayrana Blossom, claiming to be actual mages. After showing the skeptical fortune teller their amazing power, Julia offered her to join her criminal organization, Père Noël, and the opportunity to become her apprentice.

After Seventh was found to have no magical ability, the woman saw the scorn on Mayrana's face and became incensed by it. Seventh was instead given a side job "magically" changing customers' faces discreetly with the Venom Sword. Accepting the profitable offer, the woman was given the codename "Seventh Magician" by First Santa Claus in light of her current and new profession.

Over the years, Seventh Magician used the vessel given to her to perform her new underworld "miracles" for the occasional customer while maintaining her public job as a fortune teller. At some point, Santa related to her how the only ones who actually had real prophetic abilities were the long extinct Loop Octopus Clan. The sorceress also revealed her intentions to become President of Lucifenia for own darker designs. At some point, she read a newspaper article about Kaidor Blankenheim, relating how the aristocrat had killed his wife and was expelled from his family.

Kaidor's Miracle
One year, Seventh was visited by a handsome, blue-haired man. While she wondered what the rich-looking fellow would ask her, the man put a large bag on the desk before her and carefully removed a severed head from it. He then requested she change his face to match it. As the man wondered if she could, referring to her by her code name, Seventh asked him whom he had heard her name from. After he explained that he had heard of her from First Santa Claus, Seventh asked him his own name.

Questioned if she wanted to know his name or that of the severed head, Seventh replied that she'd like both, if possible. The man asked if that was really necessary to perform her trick, and she admitted it had nothing to do with her obligations, but that it wouldn't feel right for her to aid someone she didn't know. After learning that the man was Kaidor Blankenheim and the head was Bruno Marlon, Seventh guessed that he wanted to act on behalf of the man he had killed; when Kaidor pointed out he had never said he killed Bruno, Seventh remarked that it was the most likely scenario given his circumstances.

Kaidor then stated that it didn't matter and asked Seventh again if she could do it; looking in his eyes, Seventh realized he intended to kill her if she refused and calmly agreed, saying she could for the right compensation. After given the advanced payment and promised more, Seventh said it would suffice and lead the man into the back room, instructing him to lie down on the bed.

As he did so, she told Kaidor that this was his last chance to confirm with her that he was ready, telling him that to change his face was to abandon his past life. As Kaidor confirmed that he had no regrets, she asked if this was really so and heard the former aristocrat add that there was one thing that kept him without regrets, but that it was the reason for him to change his face.

Wondering what he meant by that, she heard him explain how he'd entrusted his son to his brother before leaving his family, and that the boy was now growing up with his face, making it possible for others to guess they were parent and child. Asking if they would begin, Seventh removed the Venom Sword from its sheath and changed Kaidor's face to resemble Bruno Marlon's, allowing him to pose as the chief aide of Shaw Freesis and live out a new life.

Mayrana's Miracle
At some point, Seventh Magician was approached by Mayrana and the sorceress asked her to change her face. Greeting her in the shop, Seventh remarked smugly that even her senior, Mayrana, didn't know how to change her face with magic, only for her to snap that it was only because of the Demon of Lust that she could do it. Seventh then listened as Mayrana asked her to make her face that of Julia's for twice the usual compensation.

Assenting, Seventh lead Mayrana to the back room and began to instruct her to lie down, before noticing she had already done so. Noting she understood, Seventh then called upon the Demon of Lust and changed Mayrana's face, although making minute differences to keep it from being identical to Julia's. She then watched as her rival checked her face in the mirror and realize the differences, expressing a faint smile as her face flushed. When Mayrana turned a scowl on the fake fortune teller, she asked if her face wasn't very similar to her lady's.

The woman raged that she had commanded her to make it the same and Seventh apologized, lying that she was an inferior and untrained person who hadn't done the process flawlessly. When Mayrana demanded she do the trick again, Seventh reminded her that the procedure could only be done once on one person unless they were to contract with the demon. She then watched contentedly as Mayrana became enraged.

The Last Miracle
One December years later, while sitting in her shop for customers, Magician thought back on everything that occurred in the past decade or so, as well as her old clients' new exploits and the rumors of Mayrana making contact with the Sleep Princess of Père Noël. Receiving no customers throughout the day, Seventh prepared to close up shop; as she stood up, she heard a knock and, surprised, answered the door to see Gatt Colomb.

The fake fortune teller mused how it was unlikely for him to say he wished to change his face as she welcomed him into the shop, throwing logs on the fire. She then added that there was no need to change a face that beautiful, asking him what his business was today and mentioning she had been about to close up shop. As Gatt replied he had been dispatched to retrieve the Venom Sword, Seventh asked if, said another way, it meant she was already obsolete. Gatt agreed that various matters were stirring, and Seventh guessed if it had to do with the upcoming election, Julia wishing to put her affairs in order and remove anything that might cause her trouble.

She listened as Gatt admitted that he didn't know her true intentions, and then asked him why he told her this when he planned to kill her. Cut off by the assassin remarking that it was ultimately that sort of thing, Seventh realized that he wished for her to try and escape. Soon after, she noticed that at his waist he carried a gold dagger and realized that he would be able to kill her regardless of her contracting with a demon or not.

After Gatt told her he would return tomorrow and left, Seventh took the Venom Sword from the back of the store and quickly finished getting dressed. Taking what she needed on hand, she stepped out into the snow and muttered "Happy New Year" before making her departure.

Personality and Traits
Seventh Magician was a materialistic and pragmatic woman, tempered by profit. The woman had no issue taking up a job as phony fortune teller, originally believing that magicians and magic being mere fairy tales was common sense. However, after meeting with Julia Abelard and her apprentice, Magician's belief was easily overturned and she came to accept the reality that mages existed.

While fully aware of Santa Claus' malice and that she was a part of her "evil", the fake fortune teller readily joined Père Noël with the promise of further profit through her new shady trade. Likewise, she considered her underworld customers peculiar but never refused their requests so long as she was sufficiently paid.

Skills and Abilities
While not having any magical talent, Seventh Magician was proficient in faking her persona as a fortune teller and was skilled in telling individuals what they wished to hear. Additionally, her experience gave her a stronger intuition concerning the intentions and actions of others. As such, she was able to guess when her time in Père Noël was coming to an end and had the clear head to act accordingly

She also showed a proficiency with using the Venom Sword to change another's face, even able to make minute alterations to prevent the faces from being perfectly identical if she wished. Due to her instruction from Julia Abelard, she also possessed a greater knowledge than most about the Vessels of Sin and magic, and also knew about the extinct Magic Kingdom Levianta and its magic clans.

Character Connections
Julia Abelard: Seventh's employer in Père Noël. While initially skeptical at Julia's claim to having magic, she was later amazed by the woman's magic prowess and changed her beliefs. Although Seventh understood Julia's true evil nature, she had no problem serving under her and was able to naturally predict when the woman was preparing to have her killed.

Mayrana Blossom: A rival and fellow member in Père Noël. Noticing the woman's contempt for her after she was chosen to wield the Venom Sword, Seventh grew to dislike Mayrana and enjoyed spiting her. As a result, whenever given the opportunity she would trip the woman up, although she was careful not to face the full brunt of her wrath.

Conceptualization and Origins

 * Seventh's code number in Père Noël may relate to the magical and lucky connotation of the number seven in Western cultures, coinciding with her codename of "magician".

Curiosities
