Description
Personality
Theresia van Astrea was a sociable and open-minded individual, but possessed a fatal flaw: prioritizing the feelings of others above her own. Despite her immense talent and noble lineage, she initially resisted her destiny as the Sword Saint, fearing her own power and the potential to harm others. This reluctance stemmed from a deep-seated aversion to the violence inherent in her role, a conflict that ultimately shaped her actions and relationships. Her love for flowers and quiet moments with her husband, Wilhelm, offer a glimpse into a gentler side, contrasting with her formidable reputation as a warrior. Her selflessness and dedication to protecting those she cared for led her to accept her fate and fight in the Demi-Human War, a decision born from a sense of duty and love. This internal struggle between personal desires and responsibility is a defining aspect of her character, highlighting her complex and compassionate nature. Her legacy continues to impact her family, particularly her grandson Reinhard, and her story serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of peace and protection.
Abilities
Theresia van Astrea possessed exceptional abilities stemming from her two Divine Protections and her mastery of the sword: * **Divine Protection of the Death God:** This innate Divine Protection cursed her wounds, making them unhealable. The curse's potency increased with proximity to the target, and she could even reactivate old wounds inflicted by her. The effect vanished upon her death. * **Divine Protection of the Sword Saint:** This granted her superhuman intuition and insight in combat, maximizing her swordsmanship. She could perceive weaknesses in opponents' attacks, visualized as "white lines," allowing for optimal counters. However, against equally or more skilled opponents, these lines distorted, hindering her ability to predict their movements. * **Master Swordsman:** Theresia was a highly skilled swordsman, employing a dynamic, acrobatic fighting style described as a deadly dance, contrasting with Wilhelm's more measured approach. * **Dragon Sword Reid:** As the Sword Saint, she wielded this powerful sword, which only activated against worthy opponents. The sword was later passed down to her grandson, Reinhard. After her death and reanimation, she used a different sword. While she likely possessed an affinity for Yang magic, she never formally studied it. Her overall strength among Sword Saints was considered upper-middle tier. Even with the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint, she couldn't defeat the White Whale due to the need to protect her squad.
