Description
Personality
Felix Argyle, known as Ferris, presents a complex and multifaceted personality. He often uses a cutesy demeanor and third-person speech ("Ferri-chan"), which initially masks a deeper emotional depth. His outward playful teasing is a coping mechanism, concealing a serious perspective on life and death shaped by his traumatic childhood and experiences as a healer. He is fiercely loyal to Crusch Karsten, his benefactor and the object of his unwavering devotion, often prioritizing her well-being above his own. Despite his outwardly cheerful persona, Ferris harbors a deep-seated contempt for weakness and those who readily give up, stemming from his harsh upbringing and witnessing the fragility of life. This initially leads to conflict with Subaru Natsuki, but his perception changes after witnessing Subaru's resilience. His strong moral compass and dedication to those he cares for are evident in his willingness to go to extreme lengths for Crusch, even resorting to potentially cruel methods to save her. His past trauma and subsequent loyalty to Crusch are central to his character, shaping his actions and interactions with others.
Abilities
Felix Argyle, also known as Ferris, possesses a unique and potent combination of abilities stemming from his Divine Protection and inherent magical talent. **Divine Protection of Water:** This grants him exceptional proficiency in water magic, forming the foundation of his other abilities. **Healing Magic:** Ferris is a prodigious healer, arguably the most skilled in the kingdom, if not the world. His healing magic surpasses the capabilities of most healers, allowing him to instantly restore individuals from the brink of death to perfect health, often without leaving a trace of injury. He achieves this by manipulating water mana within a person's body to stimulate their natural healing processes. While incredibly powerful, his healing magic is limited to physical wounds and ailments; mental afflictions remain unaffected. He also requires the target to possess a spark of life for his magic to be effective. He can even reattach severed limbs, as demonstrated when he reattached Crusch's arm. However, even his abilities have limits; he cannot cure certain afflictions, such as the illness that afflicted the royal family or the infection caused by Capella's dragon blood. Furthermore, he can seemingly resurrect himself from death, though the limits of this ability are unknown. Beyond healing, he can manipulate water mana to disrupt a person's bodily functions, potentially using their body as a puppet or destroying their circulatory system. **Sacrament of the Immortal King:** This ancient and powerful spell, known only through an incomplete incantation, allows for the reanimation of corpses. However, Ferris's use of the incomplete spell results in the creation of soulless, decaying "corpse soldiers." The spell requires a rare natural affinity, which Ferris possesses. His one known use resulted in a short-lived reanimation of his mother, who then killed his father before disintegrating. **Enhanced Senses (Demi-Human Traits):** Ferris's demi-human heritage grants him heightened senses, particularly hearing, allowing him to perceive subtle changes in his surroundings and detect approaching individuals with exceptional accuracy, though not Reinhard van Astrea.
