Epsilon

"After coming this far, I refuse to be exposed heeeere!"

- Epsilon

Epsilon (イプシロン) (Έψιλον) is the fifth member of Shadow Garden, being one of the original "Seven Shadows". Her public identity is Shiron, an award-winning pianist and composer of numerous "original" songs that are actually music from Earth taught to her by Shadow, which she uses to infiltrate influential circles.

Appearance
Epsilon is a young Elf with a high refined posture and a beautiful smooth face. She has long light blue hair tied into pigtails. The color of her eyes is purple, different than the color of her hair. Those who once saw her are said to be become utterly mesmerized by her bewitching beauty.

Epsilon possesses a slight build that she is very self-conscious and insecure about. To hide it, she uses her slime suit to make her seem far more curvaceous than she actually is with greatly amplified buttocks and breasts.

As a member of the Shadow Garden, she uses a dark colored slime bodysuit with a distinctive pattern adorned on the chest with a mix of colors, gold, and sapphire. There is a gold decoration on the arms and shoulders, as well as purple sapphire accessories on the arms, shoulders, and stomachs. She uses a long purplish colored scarf with gold accessories and purple sapphire at the edges. And sometimes, she wears a mask to cover her original identity.

Personality
"Did you...see anything?"

- Epsilon to Nelson

Epsilon was a prideful girl having been born into a noble family. Following her exile, she lost all care and only desires revenge against the people she once trusted. That all changed when she met Cid Kagenō who gave her new purpose in life and she fell in love with him soon after.

It's shown she at least retain some of her pride, if anything to prove her worth to Cid Kagenō. This pride also made her very conscious about her body, feeling insecure about her slender figure that it would be hard to seduce her master. Hence, that's why Epsilon uses her slime bodysuit every year to slowly increase her chest and eventually she develops a large fake chest as she manipulates it in longer periods of time than any other member in Shadow Garden to make her seem busty in hopes of winning the Shadow's affection, and also she is terrified of the possibility that someone may discover that her chest size is a ruse.

If anyone have found out about her secret body figures is a fake, Epsilon would release a killing intent which is so intense that it would make Alexia, Rose, and Nelson shudder in fear, even got eviscerated in retribution like Venom.

Epsilon has shown to have a tremendous hostile, spiteful and aggressive side when someone hurts her, and mainly when they try to or damage her fake chest, due to her obsession with keeping up appearances. As she dueled with the church's enforcer, Venom, Epsilon prioritized most of her, ensuring that the secret of her stuffing her chest was not exposed. Similarly, during the battle against Mordred, she began to lose her composure a bit when the Knight of the Rounds gave him a shallow cut across her face.

Whenever Epsilon starts praising her master. As Cid puts it, she's the kind of person that exaggerates as Whenever Cid compliments her, she can become unbearable to even comrade him in Shadow Garden. Epsilon still has pride that she still retained from her heritage despite no longer being part of it, but she respects the order of command and the people that outclass her.

Despite coming off as snobbish and rude to most of Shadow Garden and in general, everyone not her master, Epsilon is wise & caring for her comrades and truly believes in her organization's cause.

Powers & Abilities
Epsilon is tied with Beta as the fifth-strongest member of Shadow Garden, after Zeta, Delta, Alpha, and Shadow. Cid noted that she is the best at controlling her magic amongst the "Seven Shadows". However, by her own admission, she is overshadowed by her comrades in every other category. Overall, Epsilon specializes in espionage, using her public identity to infiltrate social circles and gather information.

Physical Prowess
Aside from magic control however, Epsilon's skills should still not be underestimated as demonstrated when she was capable to defeat Nelson's guards and killing Venom singlehandedly.

Swordsmanship
Epsilon's sword skills are noted to rival Beta's. She was also capable of fighting on par with Mordred, the 9th seat of the Knight Rounds, and even pressured him.

In the Game, Epsilon uses a hybrid war scythe with connected strings running from the sharp blade point to the normal hilt. The weapon as such is made of slime and magic ropes, I know that this weapon is also used in its grown version.

Slime Weapon
In the game, Epsilon developed a strong taste for the music taught by her teacher, which she managed to make, (it is understood), a weapon worthy of her praise, combining all the aspects that she achieved. dominate in your magical control. Said slime weapon consists of an ornate black scythe, whose sharp edges have several long musical strings attached, made of magical threads, capable of creating tones, magically and at the same time beautiful, at the same time deadly for enemies, who receive them. Since she was a child, when she was under the tutelage and teaching of her Master Shadow, Epsilon began to practice with her Slimo weapon, being able to handle it in a very implacable way, for combat at medium and short distance, and when she exerts long-distance attack, can infuse special attacks into it. Upon arrival, at its development, close to adulthood, Epsilon managed to completely dominate his weapon, which made his title of "Epsilon the prey" become stronger, but like the rest of the Seven Shadows, It was still in evolutionary growth.

Magic
Epsilon has an impressive amount of magic control which gives her the title of "Precision" among Shadow Garden for her delicate and refined ability to control magic to the point where she is good at throwing magic slashes, due to her extreme training for a longer period than anyone else to control her magic.

As a result, Epsilon always wears her slime bodysuit all the time to disguise her ideal proportions and improve her appearance which also gives her more defense and protection, except when she goes to bed. However, Shadow himself is impressed by her extreme magical power control technique that is different from his own.

The fact that Epsilon has maintained her perfect figure disguise for years shows the level of skill she possesses, earning the title of The Precise for her expert on magic control. Her primary use of her magic is a slicing attack which she sends straight at opponents, decapitating them.

Epsilon possesses the ability to also heal girls afflicted by Demonic Possession, much like Alpha, taught by her Master, Shadow, which allows her to also heal certain non-serious injuries to herself and other people around her.

Standard Equipment

 * Slime Bodysuit: Epsilon wears her slime bodysuit the entire time to give herself the perfect body shape, which makes her slime suit become a Supreme Defense after she experimented on it multiple times as Epsilon made her perfect figure by altering her rear to be shapely, tighten her stomach, increase her height and create large fake breasts to look like a mature woman. Thanks to her thick slime padding all over her body, she has an incredibly high physical defense. This is what saves her from Venom's sneak attack.
 * Slime Weapons: While in the anime, manga, light novel and web novel, Epsilon uses a normal Slimo sword, very fine and precise, thanks to the teachings of his master, Shadow, In the Game, Epsilon uses a magical death scythe, made of Slimo, with musical magic strings, capable of performing powerful musical sonic magic attacks, in the long run, either to distract his enemies in a "beautiful" way, or subtle, while loquiting them, or in a deadly manner. Now when you have to fight at short or medium range, Epsilon if you like, you can remove the magic strings attached to your scythe, in case they bother you when fighting, or to save more magic in it, although as such, this it doesn't bother him.

Slashing Magical Gusts
Epsilon possesses the ability to launch powerful cutting bursts of magic with her tremendous control of her magic, very quickly, almost instantly, and in a targeted manner and practically invisible and undetectable to the recipient, which makes it a magical technique. very dangerous and practically impossible to achieve, according to Mordred, since, when the magic leaves one's body, it loses all sense of direction and can be seen in certain cases, by those who can see them, when one tries to solidify it.

Invisible Burst of magic
Through the use of magic, Epsilon can cast powerful invincible magical slashing blasts with her slime sword, and with her own magic, which she can cast in any direction, the attacks as such are unseen, and although detectable, the being so fast to the second, this is very difficult to dodge in time. During his fight with Mordred, at Beta's side, in Oriana's civil war, when the so-called "Black Rose" occurred, Epsilon uses this technique in retaliation against Mordred for hurting her, Mordred managed to dodge Epsilon's attack halfway, but not being able to see it, he received damage as such.

Glowing Rotating Cuts (Game)
TBD

Supreme Defense
TBD

Quick Flash
Through the use of magic, Epsilon can quickly move to any place within her field of reach just like the rest of the Shadows, and members of the Shadow Garden. This ability as such is on the same level as Beta's in terms of speeds, being second only to Zeta, Delta, Alpha and their lord Shadow, while being above Gamma and Eta, who are the weakest members of the Seven Shadows.

Noble Prestige Education
Epsilon possessed a great talent of excellent abilities in both literary and military arts, as well as manners in aristocratic society that had been polished by Lambda's intensive training.

Professional Pianist
Aside from combat, Epsilon also has skills in playing the piano and thanks to the immense influence that she learned from Cid by being taught her musical pieces, she became a famous pianist & composer by her exceptional ability for music under her "Shiron" identity which she playing all the composer musical notes, including Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", which is her lord favorite musical piece.

Spying and Espionage
Epsilon is a master spy with incredible infiltration skills. By using her status as a pianist composer combined with her former noble bearing, Epsilon is able to infiltrate aristocratic circles to focus on foreign political activity, intelligence gathering, covert actions, and assassinations.

Trivia

 * Her family has a long history of their female members possessing slender but small bodies, much to her dismay.
 * Epsilon used Beta's body as a model to improve her figure.
 * Epsilon along with Alpha, are the only members in Shadow Garden, which has the ability to remove demonic Possession, from the offspring girls of the heroines, so far, apart from their lord Shadow.
 * To date, it has not been possible to explain how Epsilon and Alpha were able to learn and be able to cure possessed girls, as their teacher Shadow does, in the Light Novel, Web Novel, Manga, or in the anime, only I reveal those details in-game.
 * Despite Epsilon's efforts to keep her padding her chest confidential, several members of Shadow Garden already know her secret without her knowledge:
 * Shadow
 * Kai
 * Omega
 * Delta came close but Epsilon distracted her each time
 * Her civilian identity goes by "Shiron" which is just two letters off her actual name.
 * Epsilon has been selecting some of the strong members from the "Numbers" to form a group that will become known as the next "Seven Shadows" with 559 as its candidate, not much is known about this initiative or if they will replace the original Seven Shadows at some point.
 * In the Web Novel, while Epsilon did infiltrate the Oriana Kingdom like her Light Novel counterpart, she was eventually found out by Mordred and was almost killed by his surprise attack until she was rescued by her master, Shadow.
 * Some of the events would be later given to Victoria.
 * Despite the fact that Epsilon molded both her body and mainly her breasts with slime to attract the attention of her lord Cid, unlike Beta, Epsilon does not expose her cleavage to the public, nor to anyone else around her, which is ironic, considering that she has complete control over her Slime suit to the point of being able to make her naked body covered in Slime that looks like a normal skin. It is speculated that although Epsilon wants to cause envy to all the girls around her and other people, she only wants to capture the attention of her Lord, Shadow.
 * Another irony about her secret is that even though she can completely change her appearance with her slime suit, Epsilon apparently fears that if she takes a bath with someone while wearing it, she risks finding out about her secret about her fake breasts. In the Kage-Jitsu Episodes, Epsilon is seen nervous when Beta and Eta invite her to take a bath with them, but Epsilon declines. Which is counterproductive since when Oriana's civil war occurs, Epsilon is measured to take a shared bath with her lord Shadow, while she was wearing her Slime suit to pretend her beautiful appearance and her big breasts.
 * It is speculated that like Alpha, Epsilon constantly keeps developing her magical control as far as she control her slime suit, which could explain why she was not allowed to take certain past risks, until the current date, as back then, Epsilon did not have the level of control she sought over her slime suit.
