Profile
Appearance
She appears to be indecent and lascivious in appearance. She dons a very revealing attire that exposes most her light lilac skin color. She has yellow eyes, purple makeup, and nails toned to a darker shade of pink, which helps in the contrast of her light skin color. Her hair is a pink-neon color, worn in pigtails with long bangs, that is accompanied with an eye patch underneath them.
Magic is seen wearing black armored clothing that resembles a bikini, but with straps attached to the sides. She is seen to be holding a huge scythe in her arms. In her hair she has sharp and pointed pieces on both pigtails, along with a halo-like object, composing of two rings that are melded, above her head. On both arms she has black, glove-like armor that are also finger-less and begins at her elbows. She has armored boots that begin near her knees and are separated from her bikini-like suit. Her wings are designed to be divided spiked blades with a portion of those wings slightly different color schemed. It can be noted that there follows a color pattern starting from her bust where she follows a pink to yellow arrangement, which is then replaced with a yellow to pink color switch on the straps around her waist, and finally returns to her original pattern on her boots.
Personality
Magic's personification as a fanboy/fangirl and position as the leader of the ASIC makes her the most devout follower of Arfoire. As the leader of the ASIC, her self-confidence doesn't let the Console Patron Units (CPUs) who oppose the ASIC's plans stop her from reviving Arfoire. She is dauntless and remains fearless even when the CPUs try to intimidate her. Even at the face of death, she remains placid and confident that the Deity of Sin will revive and will bring about judgment to Gamindustri.
Story
Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2
CFW Magic is the first of the Four Felons that makes an appearance in Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2. Three years prior to the game's present, the CPUs were having a battle against her in the Gamindustri Graveyard. Magic proves to be a formidable opponent and stands impervious against her opponents, even countering an incoming attack Neptune's sword with her own hand. Magic single-handedly defeats the CPUs without hesitation, leaving them and Nepgear to be confined in the Gamindustri Graveyard.
She is later seen to be advancing the ASIC's plans to reviving Arfoire. A burst of activity attracts Nepgear and her companions' attention back to the Gamindustri Graveyard. Upon arrival, they discover a mutated Pirachu, whom they believe will cause catastrophe in Gamindustri. Before they could put him down, Magic appears to stop them. She explains that Pirachu is possessed by a fragment of Arfoire's power. Nepgear and the party battles Magic, but she proves to be a difficult opponent to defeat. Magic overwhelms her opponents and soon defeats them. Before she could strike them down, the CPUs come to their rescue. Showing her dauntless disposition, Magic retreats.
When Nepgear and her companions take Underling's lure in Leanbox, Magic and the ASIC conquers Planeptune. After rescuing Histoire, Nepgear and her companions plan to liberate Planeptune from the ASIC's hands. They were tasked to take down Magic. They find Magic and battle. Magic loses but remains placid over her defeat. On the brink of death, Magic reveals that the Four Felons' deaths acts as a catalyst to Arfoire's revival. After assuring that Arfoire will revive, she finally dies.
Along with the other Felons, Magic is resurrected by Arfoire's second revival and retains her same personality. She's inclined that she must fulfill the Deity of Sin's wish for total annihilation, even trying to kill Underling who thinks that her thinking is too extreme. Nepgear and her companions find her, and they dispatch her once and for all.
