TARDIS Companion: Darkness

Name: Lalatina Ford Dustiness Also known as Darkness Age: 21 Appearance: Darkness is a 5'6" tall young woman with graceful features and alabaster skin. She is very busty and also has light blue eyes and straight, long blonde hair, usually kept in a ponytail tied with a braid and red hair clips secured on both sides of her bangs. She is usually seen using a yellow and black sleeveless dress with silver trimmings, black chainmail, and a silver armor composed of metal greaves, sabatons, tasset, shoulder plate on her left side, wing-like cloth perched upon her right shoulder and a cuirass with a red bow. Personality: Although Darkness looks like an orthodox and heroic knight at first glance, she is actually a masochistic pervert who feels pleasure with pain and humiliation, enjoying all types of abuse (both physical and moral). Darkness' supposed selfless desire to face the danger and protect her companions is actually a selfish desire to feel the pain of the opponents' attacks, and for such reason she constantly charges toward the enemy without regard for the consequences under the pretext of being her Crusader's duty.

Darkness' masochist pleasure is well visible since she blushes from excitement and embarrassment easily. Darkness also moans when she suffers any type of verbal abuse, and becomes breathless when she is excited. While Darkness tries to hide her excitement, her voice goes suddenly high when she is tense or psyched, and Darkness is ecstatic and squirming after being attacked by some monster or opponent. Darkness displays masochistic urges that disturb the enemies they encounter.

Darkness also has a wild imagination, having lewd fantasies about being harassed by others, freaking out the people she thinks want to take advantage of her by exposing what Darkness thinks to be their intentions.

It is her dream that one day, she will be captured by the Devil King's Army and suffer all types of torture.

Darkness also gets carried away in the moment, acting without thinking in many situations.

Darkness' masochism is evident on her type of men as well, as she prefers perverse, alcoholic and even men who would explore her body and look at her as a piece of meat.

When aroused Darkness tends to moan loudly usually making a bit of a scene, and loudly blurting out and describing whatever filthy fantasy enters her mind, whether anyone wants to hear it or not.

As a Crusader, Darkness is a proud defender of the people, as well as a resolute law-abiding and a fervent follower of Eris Order doctrine. Her family contributed with the Eris Church for generations and Darkness herself used to pray for Eris everyday, asking for a friend, until she met and befriended with Chris (A Female thief).

Darkness is very proud of her religion, particularly when it means that she will suffer any kind of discrimination.

Also, as a noble of a prestigious house, Darkness is more refined and sophisticated than her companions, and although the laters might embarrass her, she interacts normally with commoners. At first Darkness used to hide her heritage, never using her influence unduly even when it was necessary. However, after her true identity was exposed, Darkness slowly started to feel more proud of her noble status and to use her authority and wealthy to support her party.

Finally, while Darkness is a rough, irritable and stubborn person, often reacting violently or seizing the moment to pay back, as a paladin, she is actually a selfless and altruistic knight, ready to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of others. However, since Darkness is too reticent about her sacrifices and altruism, she often causes more problems than fixes. Also, throughout the series Darkness started to be more self-full and fulfill her desires, even using her authority and resources to get items and monsters that please her fetish.

Abilities: Darkness suffers from being too specialized. As a Crusader, the class with the highest defense stats, she is a very effective tank. However, due to her masochism, she refuses to learn any offensive skills and intentionally leaves her accuracy so low that her sword is unable to hit anything, since her strength stat is so high that she could defeat most monsters before she could take any damage. Stats: Darkness has high Strength, being able to fight against several guards without being stopped, easily breaking Beldia's armor when he was almost defeated, and protect Kazuma from being smashed by the Kowloon Hydra. Darkness also has high Vitality, as she has the large reservoir of HP needed to fight on the front lines for an extended period. Her HP is so vast that even while Kazuma used Drain Touch, a technique that typically stuns or even incapacitates targets, on her for an extended period she was still strong enough to easily overpower him. Physical Resistance: Resistance against physical damage. Darkness can withstand melee attacks, functioning as the traditional "meat shield" role for the most part. Where this is exacerbated, however, is in how durable she truly is, able to withstand attacks from high-level creatures such as the Hydra and a Zombie Dragon. This skill also affects both weapons and clothes. Magic Resistance: Prevent magic from taking effect. Because of this ability, Darkness was able to survive both Megumin's Explosion Magic and Vanir's Murder-Ray. This skill also affects both weapons and clothes. Debuff Resistance (All Types): Darkness got all separate skills for all the different status ailments. Decoy: Attracts the attention of monsters. Side Slash: A full powered horizontal slice.

Weakness: Low Accuracy: Although Darkness has high physical stats, she is very clumsy, being unable to hit her targets, unless it happens by accident. And since Darkness refuses to learn any skill that could improve her Accuracy, like the Two-Handed Sword skill, due to her masochism. It is a recurring joke that she cannot hit anything.

Equipment: Adamantite Armor: After defeating Vanir, Darkness received from the royal family a new special-order armor set ade with a bit of adamantite, the strongest metal existing in that world.
