Ciel

Story

Originally called Elesia, Ciel is the 7th member of the Burial Agency, specializing in hunting down and eliminating supernatural creatures.

Ciel was born in a small French village to a French father and an Asian mother. She was born as the seventeenth incarnation of Michael Roa Valdamjong because of her extraordinary magical potential.

Roa's manifestation changed everything about the time she turned sixteen. She had a typical upbringing in the village, despite feeling different from her peers because she looked so much like her mom. The town's residents treated her kindly, and she could go about her life as an average teenager, helping in her father's shop, attending school, and even falling in love.

When Roa finally had the town under his control, Arcueid went looking for him and eventually tracked him down after two days. She tracked him down and killed him in battle on a night with a blood moon. The Holy Church transported Ciel's body to the Vatican. The speed with which it was over was her sole consolation. She finally revived with her old personality intact, unaffected by Roa, while Roa transitioned into his next incarnation.

Owing to her singular nature, the Burial Agency took her in after she had been brutally murdered by the Church for a whole month so that they might research her immortality and finally put an end to her as a heretic. Her body eventually healed itself, and since she was so closely tied to Roa, a contradiction emerged, maintaining that so long as Roa existed, so would she. Her ultimate goal in life is to put an end to her immortality by eliminating Roa.

Personality

Ciel can convincingly portray both a senior in high school and an Executor. Even more striking is the fact that she can take on the unique personality quirks of each part. To put it simply, she's a Lawful Good person. Being outgoing, shy, and energetic all at once. Ciel is a gentle and reserved person. On the other hand, she is overly nosy and curious, and she has a hard time ignoring lazy people.

Ciel's behavior changes drastically depending on the character she's playing: the kind, calm, friendly, and peaceful upper-level student, and the cold member of the Burial Agency, often portrayed as a serious and stoic character with a strong sense of duty and loyalty to her organization. However, she also has a softer side revealed in her interactions with other characters, particularly Shiki Tohno, the game's protagonist. Ciel is a costume fetishist, creating her uniform when "on duty" herself.

Playstyle

Ciel is a versatile rush-down/zoner character with screen-bouncing mobility. The Black Keys, one of the traditional Scriptural Weapons of the Church forged from Bible pages using Mage craft, are Ciel's primary weapon as an Executor.

An old Melty Blood mainstay, Ciel's game plan has outstanding versatility, with tools for every matchup and most playstyles. A versatile rush down/zoner character with screen-bouncing mobility, Ciel can comfortably choose the position to attack from at her own pace, using her high innate move speed, good close-range normal attacks, far backdash, unique mobility options and Black Key projectiles.

Her high/low mix-ups are linear. Still, her wild ground/air movement options and the ability to quickly convert off nearly every stray hit into a knockdown with her vast pool of EX Specials allow her to run over unprepared opponents rapidly.

Appearance

Ciel is a fair-skinned, average-height girl with blue hair in a pixie cut. She is known for her prominent posterior and "child-bearing hips". She wears a nun outfit as her primary Executor clothing, an all-purpose, lightly armed armament with incredible protective abilities.
