Scamallach Niwl

Background
Eighteenth century, London. Twenty years after the turning point of the century, strange occurrences began to develop within the Capital city of England. Rumours began circulating, of a thick fog, which some referred to as "Pea Soup Fog", that would roll in at the dead of night, and any who lost their way in this fog were lost forever. Of course, rumours are but that; rumours. Daring people, those that didn't believe the tales, would brazenly wander the city streets at night, under the veil of this odd mist.

That is, until the first mangled corpse was discovered, several days after the latest period of fog. Panic began to arise in the hearts of the people of London, and soon, all were too afraid to set foot outside when the fog rolled in. Some thought it was a serial killer. Others, a malevolent demon. Others still, viewed it as an act of their God.

Enter "The Terror of the Mists". This devilish being seemingly came from nowhere, as if born from the fears this fog created. Young, feral, and wanting, knowing little more than causing pain and fear, Scamallach Niwl enacted these rumours, taking great pleasure in doing so. Thrilling, gets her fed, and makes a name for herself. What's not to love~?

But, it was only a matter of time before things have to change. You can only kill so many people before those in power get involved. Holy knights of the Church of England were dispatched to bring this threat under control. Wielding the powers of their gods, Scamallach was driven from the lands of England, forced to flee the Great British Isles.

For decades, she wandered, ashamed of having been defeated so easily. But... she began to wonder, as well. If, perhaps, the life of terrorizing humans isn't right for her. She was older now, wiser. She had time to study on the ways of the world, of cultures and sciences. And, she abandoned her past life, turning over a new leaf. To do so, she set out for distant lands, far to the east.

Eventually, Scamallach arrived in Japan, where she settled for a time. Fascination with the people and culture, led her to take residence in the Land of the Rising Sun. Times change, and she wanted to make a new life for herself. So, she took up the art of Alchemy, making a living for herself by creating and selling concoctions to the people of Japan. Always a roamer, however, when the path to Gensoukyou was opened, she took the opportunity in a heartbeat.

Personality
Scamallach is much more mellowed than she used to be all those years ago. Where she was once a savage monster, she's now much calmer, a more relaxed being. She generally isn't a very social person, though, so she prefers to be alone. That's not to say that she can't make friends, and those she does make she'll treasure for the longest time. She is a little quick to be trusting, though, which can be a bad thing at times. While she can and will fight if needed, she generally will attempt to peacefully resolve the matter before resorting to magic and claw.

Power/Combat
Scamallach possesses the ability of manipulating fog, mist and clouds. She can manipulate moisture in the atmosphere to form fog wherever she desires. This happens passively around her, a light mist following her at all times. She is also able to manipulate the density of her fog, making it quite heavy and capable of causing a strong impact. On top of this, she has a good affinity for magic, above average physical capabilities, and is an exceptional alchemist, brewing powerful concoctions for a living. Occasionally she will use these potions in combat, typically having an explosive or noxious effect.

In combat, Scamallach typically resorts to stealth tactics, using her powers to stay hidden from her opponent and strike from their blind spot. That is, if it's been proven escape is no longer an option. She'll usually take her time, studying her opponent for weaknesses and patterns, and attempt to exploit these to the fullest. She favours danmaku over physical abilities, but will not hesitate to use the former should her opponent get too close. Her claws are pretty dangerous.

Spellcards
Alchemy - "Frigid Tonic" - Scamallach draws a vial of crystal-blue liquid from her pouch. She then tosses it, shattering against whatever it first hits, and coating the surrounding area in a frigid wind. At random intervals, the air freezes into sharp icicles that launch at her opponent, while Scamallach fires sunburst bullet patterns.

Fog Sign - "Pea Soup" - After channelling for a short moment, Scamallach's fog turns a sickly yellowish-green colour, and expands rapidly. This fog takes on noxious properties, attempting to affect the opponent's ability to see and move properly. Should it work, her opponent's moves become sluggish, and their senses dimmed, as Scamallach fires danmaku through the fog.

Terror of the Mists - "Awakened" - Scamallach fully merges with her fog, becoming immune to all attacks. Fog covers the area, making it difficult to see, as claws of mist swipe mercilessly at her opponent, leaving gashes in the air that, after a few seconds, burst into danmaku. The card lasts approximately sixty seconds.

Trivia
- Her name is a combination of Celtic words, which loosely translates to "Cloudy Mist".

- Due to spending centuries in Japan, and later Gensoukyou, she has lost her previous English accent.
