Character: Sheena Fujibayashi Activity Check:Right Here
Sheena Fujibayashi / Seal User
On Sheena's world, mana is the basis of all life and magic. All living being possess mana, but only those of elven blood can use their mana to manipulate the planet's mana and cast magic because of their unique ties to the mana itself. (They're the ones who brought it to the planet in the first place). However, those who can't cast magic can use their mana in other ways by infusing their weapons with it in order to perform special attacks or moves. While there are many who use typical weapons like swords, Sheena is the only one on her entire planet who uses Seals--pieces of paper inscribed with certain "incantations" that activate the moment she pours her mana into them.
Each Seal she possesses has a different inscription, giving her an arsenal of abilities that range from healing herself to attacking the enemy to bringing an ally back from "death" during battle.
Strengths: Although they merely look like scraps of paper, Sheena's Seals can still pack quite a punch to the unsuspecting. Unlike a sword or a staff, Sheena can use Seals from a distance, controlling them with her mana to lend aid and support to her allies--or even to give herself a leg up in battle. Like a magic user, she can also focus her attack Seals on either a single enemy or several at once.
Three of her Seals, when used correctly in tandem with each other, can also allow her to fight for a long time, as Guardian protects, Life heals, and Spirit replenishes her mana.
Weaknesses: As a ninja, Sheena wears no armor, so the chance of her being injured when hit is pretty high. And ironically, the two Seals that would enable her to heal and restore any mana lost require her to hold the seal and make contact with her opponent in order for the "transfer" to take place. A technique that puts her right back into harm's way as she's trying to get out of it. To get around this, Guardian must be used, but if her mana is low, it can't be activated. This is extremely dangerous when she's fighting alone as without resorting to her Spirit Seal, or lacking any healing items, it takes time to "recharge" her mana in order to use any of her seals--at times leaving her vulnerable to attack.
In addition, unlike a sword user who can channel his mana into any sword and perform whatever special attack he desires, Sheena must switch to the appropriate Seal in order to obtain the effect needed. After years of use, she has mastered the swiftness of switching, but that doesn't mean she can't be caught with her guard down and left open to being injured.
