Graced with incredible magical talent at the cost of physical abilities, it promotes agility by keeping the young woman suspended on motes of magical energy.
With her Keyblade, she proves capable of combining spells in a calamitous manner that can absolutely decimate the battlefield, given an opportunity to do so. However, if she doesn’t wish to carry it, the Keyblade levitates under a minor anti-gravity charm; this option makes the keyblade a bit more difficult to control. Sending it into something akin to a 'magical trance' where spells are cast at random from the floating Keyblade while Suihei’s mana acts 'guide' in most cases. For example, if she casts fire - the Keyblade may cast ice. If she casts protect, the Keyblade may supplement it with an aero spell for wider coverage. This lends itself to the belief that this awakens Suihei's magical potential instead of physical.
As a replacement for her physical attacks, Suihei's Keyblade gains the ability to shoot 'bullets' of non-elemental energy that shred and rend whatever they may come across with a magical detonation. The Unique Ability of this Drive is ‘Blink’, which allows her to briefly phase out of the material realm into the immaterial realm of mana to make her intangible for a short duration, alongside ‘Quick Run’, which allows her to increase her speed to supernatural levels, as well as briefly 'skate' across the dangerous environmental hazards so long as she remains focused.
Abilities ;
Healing Wind ; Cures all targets from ailments with half of their maximum health.
Dualcast ; Suihei can cast magic twice in consecutively with little drain on her mana. It permits her to use two different spells at once. If her Keyblade remains out of her grip, the second spell is randomized.
Fury ; An ability that breaks the limit of Dualcast, while limiting her to black magic .Each single attack is weaker than a normal spell, though it ignores the rules of normal Black Magic. They can be used even when silenced and bypass Reflect and Shell. Spells do not consume Mana.

Its a little known fact, Suihei’s ethnicity. Originally, it was a rather sore spot for her - not because people shamed her for what she was, but because of her own distaste for her father, and all things that had to do with him. She’s always been more at home in her mother’s native tongue - they’re from the more coastal regions of The World, and she has always found that the native tongue has been a favourite of hers. The culture, based on familial ties and self-sacrifice have always been something that has endeared her to her mother. Its from them that she gets her nutmeg skin tone from, and in her youth, Suihei spent time visiting the coastal cities with her parents to get more in touch with the culture at large. As the people place a great importance on the sea, the deceased, and the solstices. They believe that in the fall, the barriers between the Material World, and the World of Hearts ( or the afterlife / lifestream / what have you ) is lessened, allowing them to connect with the deceased. It is not unusual to see them celebrating this ‘day of the dead’ regularly, and Suihei took to the holiday with great gutso. Mostly because of the candied skulls. The food is delightful too, but that’s a story for another time.
However, this is not to say that she is without fond memories of her father, nor his people. Hailing from a small chain of islands, they practiced ornate writing that grew on Suihei - in no part due to her grandmother being incredibly strict about her learning. Like the people of her mother, Suihei’s father placed an importance on bonds, and what it meant to hold these bonds in high esteem. It is from this side of the family that she has picked up the tendency to make star shaped charms Presumably, this began several generations back, when a traveling woman saved a youth from drowning. Passing on a story to the child about their Hearts being connected so long as she held onto this charm, it eventually became something akin to tradition for the people of the islands to make these in order to represent bonds of friendship or love. Another thing they brought to the table were names with several meanings - and depending on how you write Suihei, or her real name, Suiheisen, we are given several interpretations of what this could possibly mean.
As she’s from a multi-ethnic home, albeit, a divorced one, this does ingrain on her likes, her dislikes, and her beliefs. She’s definitely superstitious though. I’ll probably go into detail about these individually in the future though-
