Kanzaki Kaori

An eighteen-year-old magician from Necessarius. Unlike her partner Stiyl, she uses magic to magically strengthen her body. Her sorcery name is Salvare000, "The one being saved becomes the hand that saves".

Appareance
She's a rather tall woman with long black hair tied up in a ponytail with a length that reaches her hips and has a nicely shaped body. One can easily associate her white skin with that of a princess. Wears a short T-shirt with a knot-tied at the bottom, revealing her navel; a pair of jeans below with one side sawed off, revealing her thigh. Because the T-shirt is tied down, her breasts are much more noticeable. One can see her snowy white leg, from the thigh all the way down. She uses a two-meter-long nodachi called "Seven Heavens Seven Swords" as her weapon.

Personality
When she was young she was destined to be the High Priestess and leader of the Amakusa Catholics and was to be protected at all cost. Due to this she believed they were suffering because of her. Later she travels to England where she befriends a young Index and Stiyl. She grew attached to Index and loved her as a sister. But when it came to the memory wiping Index did not see her as the friend she was, which made her into a cold and silent woman. But after finding out the truth about the memory wiping she and Stiyl decide to leave her alone. Her personality gradually changes showing a kinder side to herself and others after Tōma saves Index and helps to confront her past with the Amakusa Catholics, feeling more comfortable and grateful to Touma becoming more prone to showing emotion and sometimes showing a little embarrassment if she is with him, having awkward interactions from her trying to thank Touma for saving the members of the Amakusa Church on various occasions and Tsuchimikado Motoharu's attempts to encourage Kaori into various cosplay gear.

It is an alternate interpretations if whether Kanzaki getting nervous when she's around Touma is due to a crush or just being nervous due to being indebted to him for saving the Amakusa people many times.

Index and the Church of the Necessary Evil
First time, she shown as an antagonist who fights Touma and defeated him, later she tell the reason why they doing this. Later in the novels, more of her past is revealed. Not only is Kaori a skilled swordsman, but she is a Catholic Saint possessing the "Stigma", the ability to call upon God's power and the former leader of the Amakusa Catholics; however, Kaori left the group as she resented that she had been fated since birth to become its leader, which led her to despise the concept of luck and fortune as her fortune in turn only bring misery to those around her from what she can see, as it has been mentioned in the novels she no longer wants to see innocent people rushing to protect her, dying in the process, and saying with their last breath that it's alright as long as she's fine. Although she is Catholic, she joined Necessarius as it's a group which even her fortune won't rob them of their lives and befriended Index, developing a sisterly relationship with her. The repeated failed attempts to make Index remember her after each memory erasure resulted in her cold personality as Kaori began to accept that no matter how much a person tries, no one can change their destiny.

Oriana Thompson and the Daihasei sports festival
During this story she doesn't has a real participation but Tsuchimikado tricks Oriana Thompson claiming he used a spell to call for the help of a Saint like her, causing Oriana to run awaw.

Aqcua of the Back's attack
She arrives on Amakusas fight against Acqua of the back takes their places ordering them to get away of the place. In her fight against Acqua of the Back, she realized was as arrogant as Acqua. She brushed off Amakusas thinking they're weaker than her, that they need to be under her care at all time so for the first time she asks Amakusas to help her fight Acqua. When Aqua scoffs at Kanzaki saying if she values her life that much, but to this she replies she's only hurt them by leaving them because she was looking down on them as well. Now she will gain her place back and believe in them instead of blaming them and at the end of light novel, she confused how she thank Touma, Tsuchimikado says to her that this is the only way to pay her debt back to Touma is by wearing a fallen-angel maid costume (Erotic version). Kanzaki in state of confusion told Tsuchimikado to bring the costume and ten minutes later she enters Touma's room and then the "fallen angel accident" happened.

Trivia

 * Some of the 'cosplays' Motoharu suggested are maids, angels, fallen angels and/or ero versions of one or mixes of them, which later on making "fallen angel accident" at the end of the Volume 16.
 * From the SS light novel(also known as volume 13.5), from what Tatemiya Saiji said to decline the Captain of the Knights of England invitation to a ball "You can go home. Our priestess likes to lead a young man rather than being led by an older gentleman", it's now became a rumour that spread across half of London that Kaori has a crush on Kamijou Touma, which from their various interactions between the two leads to many people thinking Kanzaki have a crush on Touma. Even people like Laura Stuart and the Grand Master makes fun of Kaori using this rumour on many occasions.
