Unlike every other angel you and you alone have the ability to see every side. You are not prey to the trivial nature of good versus evil. You have been made by the discrimination of your birth, it has made you strong. It has made you a hero who fights not for herself, nor for one specific side. You fight not to hurt your opponent's you fight to save them. The kindness born from discrimination and hatred is not a weakness it's your greatest strength. It's what makes you, you." Seirei to Airica during the battle with Discord.

Airica "Astrael" Falagoth the Archangel of judgement, is one of the Guardians of the Legacy the eight leaders of the Spirit of Order. Often regarded amongst the five most powerful of the eight Guardians she is un-doubtedly the weakest of the five in overall strength. Something that she'll admit easily herself as she overall dislikes fighting and has instead gone the path of healer and protector. Though she may be a healer she's also well versed in melee combat. Possessing immense strength she wields her giant greatsword the Baldur effortlessly with one hand.

Airica or Airi as she is usually called stands as a bastion of hope in a otherwise dark world staying strong even when others have lost hope. Possessing a boundless energy and sense of justice Airi usually acts as the mediator for the Order knocking sense into her friends when the need it the most. Despite joining the Order later then most of the group joining well after the first fight against Cryptic. Airica has grown in both strength and reputation her word having come to carry major weight amongst the group as a lawkeeper and enforcer.

Background
Airica was born to the union of a un-named rakshasan concubine and Agriel the first born angel and son of the goddess of Creation Seirei. Having thought by the tribe to be the daughter of Terrahkeil the rakshasa chieftain Airica's latent angelic blood caused the tribe to see her as the daughter of their god himself. Given the right to a name by Terrahkeil she was named Airica meaning "holy woman" in the ancient tongue. Terrahkeil however knew the truth of her birth using it to his advantage. Bringing the girl up as his own daughter he trained her in the art of war from birth, though Airica much rathered playing in the forest's and meadows nearby. Soon the young girl turned ten and Terrahkeil announced he would be waging war against the angels wich cast the rakshasa's out of their court. Hoping that Airica's angelic blood would give her the advantage over the angels he put the girl in the frontlines calling on her as a goddess and saviour to defeat their foes. Airica however was kindhearted and disgusted fighting. When the bloodshed began Airica could not raise her hands against the angels instead fleeing the battle and running home to her mother. Terrahkeil enraged branded her a heretic and traitor leading a hit squad against her. Catching up to the girl at her mothers home they slew her in cold blood for trying to protect her. However watching her mother bleed out on the floor of their hut was to much for the young girls mind to take, combined with the memory's of the previous battle her mind broke. In that moment a second personality was born in her subconsicous aswell as a paralyzing fear of blood wich she carries to this day. Shattered her new persona lashed out to protect Airica killing all of Terrakeil's men. Her brain rejected all the trauma of that day sealing her memories off giving her amnesia.

Wandering for months broken and starved Airica one day by pure happenstance stumbled upon her destiny. Three months after she abandoned her tribe she found her self in the meadow where Bastion and Ririko Falagoth were playing. The two young Fae twins found her and quickly rushed her to the school that the two studied at. Bringing her to Demitra Falagoth the current headmaster of Eden Academy she quickly adopted the poor girl raising her as the foster sibling to her other adopted children Bastion, Ririko, and Meridai. Delighted at having a new sister the twins they decided to name her Felica meaning "cat woman" in ancient archaian. Enrolling in the school Airica found that she exceled at the healing arts despite never having been trained in the before, her angelic blood giving her a very high natural apptitude. She lived with her foster family for four years untill a random planar event opened a portal during one of their field excercises grabbed the four girls sending them hurling through the planes to the plane of Terra and the city of Detroit.

Personality
When asked by people what Airica is like most would describe her as obnoxious, a little full of herself, and far too friendly then is generally considered comfortable. When asking Airica what she thinks she's like however you most likely get beautiful, confident, and damn near-perfect. Most people would dissagree. Though she is undeniably narcissistic she can usually back up her claims, usually. Despite her typically insufferable ego, she is a genuinely good person.

A strong sense of justice and the ability to think from all sides has made her a mother of sorts to the group, providing care and advice to all the students of the institute. Valuing family and friendship above all else she will do whatever it takes to protect the friends she now considers part of her extended adopted family. Having become one of the voices of reason in the group it's usually Airica who helps her friends get out of their slumps with wise words and speeches about friendship. Though this does not mean she isn't willing to get her hands dirty when she has too. More then willing to litterally smack some sense into her friends, she's become well known for throwing people around untill they realise they're being stupid.

Rather hyper and energetic it's rare to find her sitting for too long instead she stay's mobile almost constantly usually roping Alexandria Mortame into her boredom busting schemes. Though she has mellowed out considerably since she was a child, she still finds a way to liven things up when she feel's the need with activities like dragon punching or re-decorating Crisendorf's room when he's not looking. Airica also has a keen eye for design and is quite skilled at making clothing, becoming well known as the girl to go to for fashion advice. Having designed her entire wardrobe herself, as well as the Institutes uniform's, even having designed the battle armour for several of the Order's top fighters.

Appearence
Due to her rakshasa blood Airica possess' a natural shape shifting ability, able to freely control her cellular structure. As such her phyiscal appearence is never constant usually changing small details like her hair and skin tone each week. Though she does have both a prefered appearence and a natural appearence though she usually dosen't use her natural appearence. However there is one trait she can not change and remains constant, her hetero chromatic eyes. Both eye's possess black corneas however her irises are different colours, her right eye being bright sky blue and her left being a dark blood red. These colours signify the presence that both the arch-magus crystal and the shade known as Figment has had one her body respectively.

Natural Appearence
Her natural body is much like the other rakshasa's with only a few detail's signifying her angelic bloodline. Bearing the usual orange fur of her felinoid breathren most would mistake her as a normal cat-girl. They would be mistaken as unlike her rakshasan breathren she possess' a humaniod head instead of the normal tiger like head. Unlike most rakshasans she does not possess the trademark backwards hands of her species her hands instead being oriented like all other sentient beings. Though her most unique trait would be her odd white stripes instead of the normal black stripes that most tiger like beings exhibit. These are the most evident trait of her angelic bloodline and are also usually constant though she does have the capacity to change them she simply chooses not too. Being roughly 6'4" in her natural appearence most would describe her phyisical build as being amazonian, a product of the natural muscle mass from her rakshasa blood and the intense phyiscal training she undertook to wield the Baldur.

Prefered appearence
Taking this appearence most of the time it has become her most recognizable form. Having a dark tan almost native skin tone outlined by her white stripes, she is physically young and beautiful appearing in her early twenties. Her hair is a deep black with crimson highlight's down her hair, the tips are a frosted white the same white of her stripes. She also possess' human ear's in this form though they are slightly pointed, however every now and then when she's eitheir angry, exhausted, or excited her cat ears will pop out of her hair though they have the colour scheme of this form being black with white tips. Build wise she is quite short being roughly 5'3" having taken a more voluptuous and slender build akin to those of the girls in the anime cartoons she watches frequently. Despite her appearnce in this form she still possess' her super strength and constitution her overall muscle mass remaining the same as in her natural form despite not being that visable.

Abilities
Rakshasan shape shifting - Airica's ability to shape shift is different as it is not magical in origin. As such unlike most forms of shape shifting it is actually quite painful. Do to this she generally only uses it make small changes to her physical appearence like her hair and height.

Enhanced Physical Strength - Airica is physically stronger then most humans able to wield the giant twelve foot long claymore the Baldur with ease and finesse with only one hand.

Aura Sense - After being possessed by the embodiment of the sin Gluttony Airica has gained the abiltity to "smell" the souls and auras of living beings. As such it is highly difficult to hide your identity from her though most of the high member's of the order can do so.

The Five Angelic Magicks

- Healing - Airica is a master of the healing art's pioneering the field of medical magick's wich combines the science and knowledge of modern medicine and angelic healing art's to make a almost unparalled technique. Airica is among one of the greatest healers in the multiverse capable of not only re-growing limbs in minutes but also resurrecting the dead. Airica's healing has become so advanced that she can weave it into her barrier's and skin allowing the rapid regeneration form most forms of injury.

- Protection - Airica's specialty is protection magic being able to make a large assortment of barrier's and protection fields. Her main style's are the ten layered mandala style, and a barrier that turns the kinetic force inflicted against it into energy for the person under the barrier's protection. The Mandala barrier's are particularly powerful being almost unbreakable though anti-magic techniques are able to cut it's mana supply thereby disabling them. Airica also employ's a unique barrier on herself that she has permanently tattooed onto her skin. This barrier is unique in that it is powered by the arch-magus crystal converting it's energy into a rapid healing source that work's with her body's natural healing to enhance it so greatly that she can re-grow entire lost limbs in minutes.

- Mobility - Although not particularly well versed in this form of magic Airica does know enough of it to fly and teleport short distances.

- Summoning - Airica has been shown capable of mid level summoning magic able to call her sword to her hand from anywhere. She also possess' the ability to summon four norse eidolons gained from her pact with Odin the All Father, Geri and Freki the twin wolves that sit at Odin's side, and Mist and Gunn two valkyrie warriors that were born from Airica' soul.

- The Azure Flame - The flame is rather interesting as it's not truly a fire. It is more of an energy source that the angels manipulate. Most of the angels manipulate it in their own way, Airica chooses to use it in the form of electricity. Though she's not as proficient in the flame as her other angels choosing to master protection and healing magicks instead. Although not her specialty she is capable of summoning massive lightning storms and giant focused gigablots of electricity. She is also capable of using to charge her body with a electrical shield that she uses to protect herself.

Forbidden Magicks

- Five Finger Healing - Airica's signature healing technique known only to her. This technique is also the most dangerous of the forbidden magic that Airica knows being able to be used to kill a person without inflicting any wound. Airica focuses her divine power on her fingertips causing them to glow a bright white, she then can phase her hand into a persons body to preform internal operations without having to cut a person open. This technique also allows her to be able to heal a persons soul. However this technique has large drawbacks, firstly it causes intense pain in the patient bordering on lethal causing Airica to have to put the patient in a Frozen Light stasis field. Secondly it can also be used to inflict severe damage to a persons body able to do internal damage without outwardly harming the person. An example of this is the user being able to crush the target's heart without the target being able to defend against it. Because of the great danger inherent in this technique Airica has refused to teach anyone else this technique making her the only person capable of using it.

- Frozen Light - One of Airica's most used forbidden magic this spell creates a temporal stasis field around her target suspending them in time. Though she uses it as a replacement for anesthesia for medical purposes, this magic has been forbidden due to the lasting effects it can have on the target's body, the area around it, and the uses it can have a tool for murder by the wrong people. The field can dramatically slow the metabolism of it's target to the point that the body no longer ages. It also can create temporal distortions in the stasis fields space wich can cause lasting damage to the area around the field.

- Temporal Magic - Although Airica can do this form of magic she's rather inept at it being her weakest form of magic. She's been shown capable of sending people back and forth between time, though she lacks the training and finesse to slow or speed up specific individuals. She can however utitilize it in the form of her Frozen Light technique.

- Divine Salvation - Divine Salvation is the most powerful technique Airica has at her disposal. This is the ultimate healing technique known to angelic kind, however it comes with the largest drawbacks and costs as well. Divine Salvation at it's most basic allows for the resurrection of the dead, however the law of equivalent exchange comes into play here. In order to make a human soul you must sacrifice something of equal or greater value. As such in order to use this technique Airica must eitheir sacrifice the soul of another being, or sacrifice her own life. Because of this cost Airica has only been able to preform this technique once when in possession of the philosopher's stone sacrificing the souls within her soul to resurrect Le't Tk'chll from the dead though she almost died herself in the process. Of all the forbidden techniques this is the one Airica herself most abhores, refusing to allow any being preform this technique ever.

Julian "Taboo" Sky
Airica and Julian share a brother and sister relationship. Perhaps deeper then any of the other Order members Airica views Julian whom she still calls "Tabby" as her family. The two are incredibly close having been together for what seems like forever to her, Airica can hardly see herself without the young Andromedian. The two met during the Kid Korps but as Julian was part of of the Nova Korps at the time it was not untill later that they truly became friends. After the war with the Lynch Mob and the splintering of the original group Airica found herself alone trying to bring everyone back together. That was untill Julian came back from his journey to Andromeda. Finding the group scattered and broken the Julian was the first person to come to Airicas aid in bringing the group back together. Eventually the two succeeded in bringing the scattered Kid Korps members back together. This has given Airica a unfailing respect for Julian and she would follow him to the ends of the earth. Always the first to jump in whenever Julian needs help even if that help is smacking some sense into him when he goes of on one of his wild streaks, she'll do anything for the young hero she considers her brother.

Baltomere Domin
Airica and Baltomere are also very close almost as close as she is with Julian. Airica views Baltomere as one of her closest friends having been one of the people who introduced him into the group. Since then she worked with him closely for quite awhile before she decided to make Baltomere her second when she was made a Guardian. Baltomere worked for her as her assistant for a long period of time both in th Order and the Institute. Eventually however Baltomere was promoted to a professor, teaching the students how to combat magical creatures. Even they no longer are partners they still carry a close bond Baltomere often being the one who deals with Airicas antics.

Crisendorf Mortame
Airica views Crisendorf as one of her closest companions sharing her deepest of secret's with him. Both stranded on earth from a different plane the two have always got along. When Airica decided to end the shade known as Figment, it was Crisendorf who helped her do it. Gathering the strongest sources of magic from around Terra they turned Airica into a living philosopher's stone. Although her body was destroyed in the ensuing fight the stone re-made itself into a perfect copy of Airica becoming the vessel for her soul. Crisendorf then took on the role of Airica's doctor of sorts keeping her stone working perfectly. Even when her stone began to fail when it started to run out of souls it was Crisendorf who saved her life by giving her a arch-magus crystal to use as her heart instead of her failing stone. Saving her life countless times Airica would do anything for Crisendorf going so far as to hold Dante the lord of Despair's attention long enough for them to revive Crisendorf during the fight with Phobos.
