Medusa Gorgon (Needs a Place to Stay)

Personality: Medusa herself is "full of lies" and in actuality cares little for anyone but seemingly herself. Being a scientist, she also tends to views things like a researcher to the point of using actual individuals such as her own child, for experiments. In addition, she can be viewed as irredeemable, willing to manipulate anyone for her goals and even abandon her own child after deeming them a "failure". Perhaps Medusa's greatest strengths, however, are her cunning and intellect. Often enough, she forms complex plans that even the DWMA at times fails to counter and tends to learn from her own mistakes. She even feels blasphemy is part of the nature of being a Witch. However, despite these dark and manipulative traits, even Medusa can possess some love, admitting to Dr. Stein that she does have genuine feelings for him and with Arachne even confirming this notion. However, as Stein even pointed out, she most likely has an inability to truly understand the concept of love. When subjected to Tezca Tlipoca's Reflect (despite not even being the intended target), it also is revealed that even Medusa herself, to some unknown degree, is aware of her treatment to Crona and even harbors some amount of guilt. Medusa herself isn't infallible to even being subject to other emotions such as nervousness to the point of actually fidgeting, seen when she was going to meet Death face-to-face for the first time. Oddly enough, despite her own horrendous actions and rather odd tendencies (going barefoot and the way she expresses love) she find the antics of the DWMA upper brass utterly absurd, and impossible to manage.

Appearance: While she wears various outfits over the course of the series, the most notable and common of these is a black body-length suit with hood, which extends downwards to her knees. The hood itself is adorned with an eye-like marking upon either side which, interestingly, when worn in addition to the shape of her hair, gives it the appearance of a snake's mouth, with teeth and fangs. It is notable that she is barefoot when not in disguise with unique toenail and fingernail polish that is black featuring yellow arrows pointing upwards.

Body type: Head & neck: Average-to-slightly-long neck supporting a standard anime-proportioned head. No extreme bulk or thinness here. Shoulders & upper torso: Broad, powerful, and muscular shoulders with visible deltoid definition. The upper chest and upper back show solid muscle mass. Arms: Thick, heavily muscular arms with clear biceps, triceps, and forearm definition. Strong, athletic build rather than soft or slender. Chest / bust: Extremely large, full, and heavy breasts that dominate the upper body. Highly exaggerated, rounded, and tightly constrained by the sleeveless top, creating a very prominent bust. Midsection / waist: Relatively narrower waist compared to the bust and hips, but still thick and solid rather than tiny or delicate. Some abdominal muscle definition is suggested under the tight fabric. Hips & buttocks: Very wide, heavy hips with an extremely large, round, and protruding buttocks. Thick, powerful glutes that create a strong lower-body emphasis and a pronounced pear-to-hourglass silhouette when combined with the bust. Thighs & lower legs: Thick, muscular thighs that match the hips in scale—solid and powerful rather than soft-only. The overall lower body continues the heavy, athletic build (calves are partially visible but consistent with the muscular theme).

Powers, Abilities and Techniques: Power A well-regarded and feared powerful witch, Eruka once claimed there weren't many witches more powerful than Medusa and possessed an enormous soul. In battle, her prowess was great enough to fight Franken Stein, DWMA's strongest human meister, in battle; the pair's souls were of the same size, being equal although Medusa edged better in defense. She was also confident in battling Tezca Tlipoca and his meister, Enrique. Skills Magic (魔法, Mahō): As a witch, Medusa is capable of performing various kinds of magics. Her magical power can be boosted when in proximity of a powerful madness wavelength. Using the 1,000 snakes in her body, she can use them by implanting them inside another's body, allowing her to track, watch, and communicate from a snake within an individual. It can also increase aggression, and those affected by her magic will have a snake around their soul. Demonic Energy (特殊な魔力, Tokushuna Maryoku): Medusa is capable of infusing her Snakes with this kind of energy. According to her, a tiny amount of her kind of Demonic Energy was designed to accelerate the madness within a person and it's effects are activated during Soul Resonance. Hand-to-Hand Combat (体術たいじゆつ, Taijutsu): A short-range witch, Medusa is a very formidable and capable unarmed combatant. Her fighting style is a defensive one consisting of the usage of magic, kicks, skills in blocking, and her tail snake. Her defenses are considerable to the point she usually leaves no openings. Her combat prowess is enough to fend off and place considerable injury on Franken Stein when wielding Spirit. She is also able to hold her own with Justin Law and defend herself of assaults from Enrique, a monkey and skilled in thai boxing. High Physical Abilities (高い身体能力, Takai karada nōryoku): Medusa possess great physical abilities that enable her to battle the likes of Franken Stein, withstand several blows of his soul menace technique, and be agile enough to dodge attacks from a scythe. Wavelength Control (波長コントロール, Hachō Kontorōru): With her magical power, Medusa is capable of splitting her own soul into tiny pieces only under special circumstances in which her magical power is boosted by the proximity of a powerful madness wavelength. Genius-level intelligence: Medusa is very intelligent and is considered a scientific genius in her own right. She had successfully figured out the DWMA's secret from her time as a nurse and invented the Black Blood, which can turn one into a Kishin via resonating with them from the madness. Medusa is also very skilled in manipulating and deceiving others. She is capable of bending almost anyone to her will through methods varying from false kindness to blackmail and even torture. The best proof of her acting and manipulation skills is the fact that she managed to live unnoticed in the DWMA, under the nose of even Death himself and hiding her experiments in numerous laboratories. These experiments are part of her quest to harness Madness, whether through the creation of tools or empowering individual persons such as Crona. Her experiments include the Black Clown, the Black Blood, and the Portable Purple Clown, all threats to the DWMA. Medical Expertise: As the former nurse of the Death Weapon Meister Academy, Medusa has extensive knowledge of medicine. She has been able to use this knowledge to created substances that expedites the effects of the Black Blood within its carriers, while disguising this substance as herbal medicine, both in its pill form and its effects on regular blood. Serpent Commanding: According to Medusa, her Light Serpents, while themselves "incredibly simple magic lifeforms," are not themselves a magic attack, as they respond not to her magic but automatically to her simple commands, without her having to release Soul Protect and hence without her needing to use additional magic. Culinary skill: Medusa cooks on occasion, even preparing a bunny for dinner—that she made Crona kill. Special Magic Medusa's Magic (メデューサの魔法, Medeyūsa no Mahō): Medusa's signature magic skill, this allows her to control of the 1,000 "snakes" within her body, which take the appearance of angular vectors, which she claims will allow no "prey" coming close to ever get away. These arrows also have various, unique functions such as being able to bend, ricochet, and pierce targets, while also taking on properties of sharp blades when slashing and cutting. Vector Plate (ベクトルプレート, Bekutoru Purēto): Medusa is able to summon a plate that is able to propel the subject the direction in which the vector she created points in, including herself even. She can also perform this spell in midair and use it for high speed movement. Tail Snake (テイルスネーク, Teiru Sunēku): A vector protrudes from Medusa's backside like a tail. Pliable but strong, the Vector stretches while still keeping her entire weight balanced so she can dodge with significant flexibility, even supporting her weight while holding her upside down. Vector Conduct (ベクトルコンダクト, Bekutoru Condacuto): By placing this spell onto a person, Medusa gives them the vision to follow invisible Vectors she has laid in locations. This spell can be used to secretly guide others to intended destinations. Vector Boost (ベクトルブースト, Bekutoru Būsuto ): Magic which Medusa can bestow to others, showing as an arrow on their self. This doubles their power on their next attack exerted in the direction which the arrow points. Vector Arrow (ベクトルアロー, Bekutoru Arō): Medusa summons arrows that, like snakes, move rapidly towards her target. Vectors seem to assume almost tangible qualities, able to cut and pierce opponents like blades. Medusa also can manipulate these arrows to alter their direction and size, making them extremely versatile for direct offensive attacks or to redirect opponents' movements. Vector Arrow x3 (ベクトルアローx3バイスリー, Bekutoru Arō Bai Surī): Noted by Franken Stein to be the more powerful variant of Vector Arrow, this triples the amount of arrows present. Analyze Decompose (解析分解, Kaiseki Bunka): A spell that allows Medusa to shoot her target with her Vector Arrows and use it's magic to break down any coating from the target. Vector Storm (ベクトルストーム, Bekutoru Sutōmu): Medusa surrounds herself with numerous intertwining Vector Arrows, projecting upwards from the ground and resulting in a spinning physical shield, capable of shielding her from attacks. Compress Vectors (ベクトル圧縮, Bekutoru Asshuku): This spell surrounds the subject, compressing them into a space the size of a small ball. Calculation Spells: Magic Calculation (演算魔法:マジックカリキュレーション, Enzan Mahō: Majikku Karikureshon): Medusa is skilled in the employment of Calculation Spells to determine placements, using this magic along with Eruka to help set up an Independent Cube created by Free due to the precision required within the spell. Soul Possession (魂憑依, Tamashī Hyōi): Under special circumstances of having her magic boosted, Medusa can split and scatter her own soul into tiny pieces to later be implanted. She can occupy another animal or person in order to gather magical power. It is far easier, however, for Medusa to possess the body of someone related to her such as her sister, Arachne Gorgon (though she abandoned most of her body and consciousness to become madness itself). Unknown Arts Madness Fusion (狂気融合, Kyōki Yūgō): With the usage of her Portable Purple Clown, Medusa can utilize this ability in an effort to combine the power of the Purple Clown and her Light Serpents to use in her attacks. This enabled her Light Serpents to fare better during her fight with Justin Law, whose Madness Fusion with the Clown allowed him to attune to Asura's Madness Wavelength, rendering her Snake Magic useless. Special Items Light Serpent (ライトサーペント, Raito Sāpento): Functioning as support and within her snake tattoos, her Light Serpent is a Magic Lifeform which can act on simple commands from her hands, even outside her own Magic or in situations such as the limitations of Soul Protect. Portable Purple Clown (紫染の道化師, Shisen no Dokeshi): Medusa created this artificial clown in an effort to externally combat the usage of Madness against her. While not as strong as an actual clown, it was particularly effective against Justin Law's madness illusions. The Purple Clown can be utilized for Madness Fusion to combine with Medusa's own magic attacks and hence to overcome her Magic's weaknesses against Madness. Snake Listening Device (ヘビの盗聴器, Hebi no tōchōki): Medusa can use her Magic with Demonic Energy to create a listening device which, when ingested, can hone in and allow her to listen to others' conversations. It can also allow her to speed up one's onset of Madness due to the Demonic Energy within it.
