Vento of the Front

Vento of the Front is a member of God's Right Seat and antagonist of the magic side during the events of volume 12 and volume 13. Her name is derived from the Italian word for 'wind'.

Appearance
She is usually clad in yellow, and her face is heavily pierced and at its top, she puts on heavy make-up. This is to give people a negative impression of her and make it easier to trigger the 'Divine Punishment'.

Plot
When she was a child, she went with her brother to an amusement park, and an accident occurred in which her brother died; thus, she grew up with a deep hatred against science and technology as the doctors said they can't save them both and her brother decided to sacrifice himself to save Vent.

She first appeared in the volume 11, talking to the Pope about the failure of Biagio in modifying the Queen of Adriatic, and forcing him to sign the documents that makes Kamijou Touma an enemy of the Roman Catholic Church.

Later, when the Pope declared Touma of being a heretic and a menace to the Roman Catholic Church she went to Academy City with the objective of kill Touma even if that means the destruction of Academy City. During her attack when she snuck into Academy City, knocked out more than 70% of Anti-Skills and Judgment members as well as the population, which later increased almost about the 90%, and killed three members of the Board of Directors as provocation to Aleister and next declaring to him that she will crush Aleister, Academy City, Imagine Breaker and Index.

First on her search for Touma, she crossed paths with Kihara Amata, thus allowing Accelerator to run away along with Index in a minivan, saying Index is also one of her targets and she doesn't feel like letting others taking her prey. Later meanwhile Touma was hiding from the Hound Dogs inside a familiar restaurant with Last Order, she knocked the Hound Dogs out and introduced herself to Touma, informing him that he is the enemy of the Roman Catholic Church and is her objective to kill him, and if necessary they can wipe Japan off the map if it means eliminating Touma, as an enemy of the church. Vent then tried to crush Last Order and the people who were lying unconscious on the floor to trigger the Divine Punishment on Touma, but was useless because of the protection of the Imagine Breaker. Taking advantage that Touma was fighting her and at the same protecting the people of getting killed of her attacks, managed to corner to him, but then suddenly her body started to go numb and spurt blood out of her mouth due to Aleister activating the incomplete 'Artificial Heaven' by using Fuse=Kazakiri. This forced her to withdraw of the fight, recalling Aleister's words about not underestimate the true form of Academy City changed her objectives and decided to seek for Aleister's last defenses only to meet once again with Touma who was trying to save Kazakiri. After seeing Fuse=Kazakiri Vent switched her target to destroy the 'Fallen Angel' that Kazakiri turned into, saying it's a abomination to Christianity, but was stopped by Touma. Her overconfidence and arrogance allowed Fuse=Kazakiri to unleash her powers to prevent unconscious bystanders being killed by Vent, thus allowing Touma to focus on defeating her. After her loss she is retrieved by Acqua of the Back and left Academy City.

Later she heads to Russia, instead going to England like Acqua did, in order to thwart the plans of Fiamma of the Right by helping Sasha Kruezev to escape of Fiamma.

During the battle Vent commanded a fleet several kilometers away to bombard Fiamma. Icicles several hundred meters in length, numbering in millions of spears, pierced where Fiamma is. The land got sliced up, ice and dust raged for kilometers all around, and a giant mountain of ice blades is where Fiamma was. He broke out and she ordered even larger shots fired but he destroyed them without much work and proceeded to rip out the cross and smash her jaw at the same time.

She, Touma, Lessar, Sasha and the leader of Elizarina, lost against Fiamma of the Right and were defeated throughly.

Abilities
Blessed with the nature of "God's Flame" and aligns to the Archangel Raphael since she purified her body from the Original Sin, she lost the capabilty to cast human magic but gained the capability to cast angelic magic. Though when she fought Fiamma he remarked she can somehow use 'normal' magic once more, from her first attack towards him and how she rebuilt the core crucifix of 'Queen of Adriatic'.

With her powers, she can do the following:
 * God's Divine Punishment: This formula applies the logic that no one should bare any menace towards God, if so, punishment will apply. This magic literally strips people of their consciousness if they ever consider Vent, who substitutes herself as God and all it represents under the effect of her spell, an enemy. The spell works by stripping away oxygen inside the victim's body, forcing the physical body to go into a state like a animal's hibernation period in order to preserve survival. Depending on the emotion such as slight dislike or intense hatred, the 'punishment' will deal the equivalent damage such as merely losing consciousness or fall into a deep coma. While this spell is useful, Touma noted by using this spell it means to let the user be hated by everyone in the world for the spell to fulfil its potential, and it's a sad existence to live like that. After her battle against FUSE=Kazakiri and Kamijou Touma, she can no longer trigger the Divine Punishment spell.


 * Wind Hammer: using her barbed hammer she summons at the same time a big hammer made of air to bludgeon her opponents using a complicated pattern because the wind hammer moves accord to the movements of the cross attached to her tongue.
 * La Regina del Mare Adriático: As of Volume 20 she modified the Queen of Adriatic on top of Biagio's original modifications, and she now has the power to summon parts of the guardian magical armada to wherever she is. This is shown by a cross made of ice and shaped like a anchor pierced onto her tongue in the place of the cross that uses 'Divine Punishment' that was destroyed earlier. Vento explains this as her element is wind and wind is a crucial part of sailing, so she have partial control over spells that are water-based. However her ability to control the Queen of Adriatic was destroyed when she fought against Fiamma, when he ripped the cross out of her tongue.
