- 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" pieces of music that are actually songs from Earth taught to her by Shadow, which she uses to infiltrate aristocratic circles and gather information.

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.

Epsilon possesses a curvaceous body that will make any woman envious. However, she actually has a slender body but petite build and uses her slime suit to make her chest seem far larger than it is.

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. He uses a long purplish colored scarf with gold accessories and purple sapphire at the edges. And sometimes, she wears a mask to cover his 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 Kagenou. 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.

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, Epsilon is overshadowed by her comrades in every other category. Overall, Epsilon appears to specialize in espionage, using her public identity to infiltrate influential 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.

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 technology 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.

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.

Invisible Burst of magic
Through the use of magic, Epsilon can cast powerful invincible magical slashing blasts with his slime sword, and with his own magic, which he 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 Modred, at Beta's side, in Orianna's civil war, when the so-called "Black Rose" occurred, Epsilon uses this technique in retaliation against Modred for hurting her, Modred managed to dodge Epsilon's attack halfway, but not being able to see it, he received damage as such.

Quick Flash
Through the use of magic, Epsilon can quickly move to any place within his 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 Shadew.

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 taught her musical piece songs, 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.

Spy Master
By using her status as a pianist composer combined with her former noble bearing, Epsilon able to infiltrate aristocratic circles to focuses on foreign political activity, intelligence gathering, covert actions, and assassinations.

Weaknesses
Epsilon has a single personality flaw that could hinder her in combat: her obsession with keeping up appearances. Even whilst dueling Venom her greatest priority was ensuring that the secret of her padding her chest was not exposed. Similarly, during the battle against Mordred, she almost lost her composure when the Knight of Rounds got a shallow cut on her face.

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.
 * 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.
