Freadia Strikers

Freadia Strikers (フリーディア＝ストライカーズ) is a member of Necessarius and the supervisor for the Amakusa's admission test in Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test.

Appearance
Freadia has blonde hair, tied up at the back. She wears a red outfit described as half-way between a dress and a suit.

Personality
Freadia is a ruthless, stubborn, suspicious and vindictive individual. She is perfectly willing to use methods that would put herself at risk to achieve her goals, as shown by her use of a highly dangerous artifact from Sword Sanctuary and her method for defeating Emilie Fordia.

Background
When Freadia undertook the entrance exam for Necessarius, she had to escape from a broken submarine fitted with explosives in the North Sea within a time limit.

Abilities
Freadia's speciality is folklore that has fallen into the "cracks" and has no clear religious basis. She is particularly focused on stories involving a cursed jewel which would kill each of its owners despite having no real history to it, which she uses as the base for her primary Magic, using her crystal radio to transmit curses.

While using the prototype armour from Sword Sanctuary to push her magic power to it's absolute limit, endangering her life, Freadia was able to knock out nearly all of the Amakusa and Dusk Waiting to Awaken members fighting around Stonehenge with a single attack and run close to 50m in a single breath, arriving ahead of her sound. She also used extendable claws made of a compressed blackish-purple smoke, which didn't cause bleeding wounds but caused strength to leave the foe's body and could cut through defensive magical symbols. The claws could also burst and the smoke flow towards the foe's body, causing internal damage similar to Freadia's crystal radio curse but of a higher density.

Equipment
Freadia uses an old, antique crystal radio, about the size of a handbag and covered in amber wood and velvet, which has had the crystal replaced with a modified version of a precious metal famous for killing of each its owners. As well as being used to transmit a curse to incapacitate or kill, it can be used for communication providing the curse is neutralized. It is set up so the curse can be brought back into operation if the tuner's balance is intentionally thrown off.

She also carries a thin chain with various tools used by jewel appraisers on it, such as a loupe, a small paintbrush, a white light made from several LEDs, a piece of thick black paper about the size of a business card and others.

Freadia also made use of a dangerous prototype armour from Sword Sanctuary, considered by a worker there to be the most dangerous tool within the stockpile of risky spiritual items. It has a western design and is based on the official model used by the knights, however it uses the opposite concept. Instead of having magic power passed to the armour to increase mobility, it is meant to increase it's wearer's magic power to the absolute limit. It connects to the wearer and interferes with the route of their life force as it circulates through their body through the blood vessels, creating a new path and sending it from the body into the armour and back into the body, enabling a method of converting life force impossible with a single body.

In sending the life force through the armour, it creates the illusion that one has a special constitution, making the wearer forget they are still themselves - the limit to how much life force can be converted remains the same and the user will still die if it is all converted. By falsifying the number, the wearer can convert large amounts of life force into Magic, bringing them into the danger area while deceiving themselves. However once that deception can no longer be maintained, the wearer would immediately perish from exhausting their life force.

The armour also appears to cause the wearer's movements to become cold and mechanical as well as making them appear expressionless, likely due to interfering with their life force.
