| ~ Cynthia Exment to Elizard |
Cynthia Exment is a minor antagonist in the A Certain Magical Index franchise, serving as the main antagonist of Necessarius SS.
She is a magician and the leader of the United Kingdom's Royal Astronomical Research Organization as well as a member of the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church's overseas branch. She's the one who manipulated the events surrounding the Amakusa Church's test to join Necessarius as part of her scheme to get Britain to join the science side. She's the archenemy of Itsuwa.

She wears a purple dress that resembles a long-sleeved kimono & obi and has a purple cape draped over her shoulders. She also wears a pair of thick white stockings, purple Japanese-style sandals and a tree peony hair clip.
Personality[]
Cynthia Exment is an ambitious and opportunistic individual who is soley focused on achieving her own objectives. She is highly manipulative and ruthless, holding no qualms with manipulating others, causing destruction or disrupting the balance of power, if it will help her accomplish her ultimate goal. She also shows little regard towards those who get in her way and is willing to dispatch anyone who tries to interfere with her plans. However, despite this, Cynthia demonstates a level of rationality, as she refrains from killing Elizard as she views the assasination of the Queen would be a pain and throw a wrench her plans.
Cynthia's most notable trait is her obsession with returning home to Japan, something which she inherited from her ancestors. Because of this, Cynthia seeks to create a situation to force England to abandon the Magic Side and join the Science Side. She also displays some complex about her lack of Japanese traits due to so many generations passing.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Amakusa-style Magic: As a member of the Amakusa Church Overseas Branch, Cynthia is highly skilled in the usage of Idol Theory that allows her to incorporate magic symbolism hidden in her body movement and the actions and mannerisms that occur naturally in a battle to cast magic.
- Barrier Magic: Cynthia is capable of creating an invisible wall to block enemy attacks.
- St. George's Spell: A spell derived from St. George's fate. When activated, it thoroughly destroys every temple, spiritual item, and other magical devices within 20km, similar as to how the Roman priests who urged St. George to renounce his faith were killed and had their temples destroyed by "something" like a meteor falling from the heavens, answering his prayers. The spell is sent to the area by ley lines and can have more than one target.
Abilities[]
- High Intelligence: Described as a "genius girl", Cynthia is shown to be very intelligent and is capable of running a group such as the Royal Astronomical Research Organization almost entirely on her own, despite her young age. She's shown to possess great tactical prowess, as she manipulated and orchestrated several organizations and events to gain access to the magical items in the British Museum and even developed a spell that can destroy every temple, spiritual item and magical device in a radius of 20km.
Equipment[]
- Wooden Staff: Cynthia's main weapon is her wooden staff which resembles a bamboo cane. The staff itself is a weak magic item and its ability it's very simple: it changes shape based on its wielder's will, based on similar legends all around the world of items that change form. However, the staff is capable of intercepting the transmission of data from the British Museum and allow Cynthia to read it in order to acquire data on the spiritual items within. After obtaining this data, it can easily replicate the form and powers of those spiritual items, changing shape in an organic-looking fashion like a tree growing on fast forward. The weapons displayed are:
- Spear: A spear that fires a bolt of lightning from its tip.
- Hands: An unknown item that creates countless hands growing from the ground that grabs and drags an enemy down into the earth.
- Japanese Sword: A Japanese-looking wooden sword with a razor-like carved animal bone attached, capable of cutting straight through Itsuwa and Tsushima's weapons and release a ranged attack with a roaring thunder.
- Others: Other spiritual items copied by Cynthia include a round stone shield, a wooden club, a rainbow-colored bow, a stone axe, a trident and a large hammer.
