This seems fun!
Ci
She's got a pretty bizarre fighting style that's mostly developed from certain handicaps and her past. She used to be a performance magician but now works as a mercenary so her style incorporates a lot of tricks, illusions, sleight of hand, and many classic stage magician techniques just fitted for battle now. Her most used would probably be playing cards she's loaded with aether and summoning doves (whether they are real or just illusions is something she'll never tell!). The cards can do many things from being charged with different elements, hardening, growing in size, or even acting as flash bangs!
She can be quite deceptive as well. She intentionally makes sure most of her cards correspond to what they do. For example, she'll make sure any cards with the heart suite are loaded with fire aether and are your usual exploding cards. However, she recognizes that most fighters will look for a pattern in their opponent's style. So for this reason, a few cards in her deck are mismatched with their usual suite and element combination. An 8 of hearts might explode with ice rather than fire for example. This helps her take opponents she fights for the first time off guard as their brain will first recognize the pattern between suite and element.Â
Her other favored weapon is her gun. Due to some things in the past, her aether pool is quite small so she can only cast so much before she is out of fuel. She'll carry a gun around with her for cases where magic is ineffective or she needs to conserve her aether. Some call her a gun mage because she likes to use trick shots like ricocheting bullets or specially crafted bullets loaded with aether.
Another technique she uses is swapping clothing with a snap of her finger. It was mostly for performance purposes but it can come handy at times in a fight.
