| ~ Saronia A. Irivika to Touma Kamijou |
Saronia A. Irivika is a major antagonist of A Certain Magical Index: New Testament, serving as the main antagonist of the Hawaii Invasion Arc.
A Russian magician who was originally part of the Russian Orthodox Church's forces, Saronia joins GREMLIN and aids Othinus in her schemes so she can get revenge on the nations and individuals who profited from World War 3 while Russia was torn apart.
She is voiced by Ayano Shibuya.
Appearance[]
Saronia is a young girl around the age of 14-15 years old with short blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears a green turtleneck and miniskirt, and a green hairband which is made out of tree branches. She also wears thigh high brown boots and carried a satchel with her.
Personality[]
While not much of her personality is displayed, it's clear that Saronia is a very ruthless and manipulative individual, which goes hand-in-hand with her power to control people's minds. She is shown to be willing to do anything to achieve her goals, such as taking children as hostages and eliminating anyone who stands in her way. She is also uncaring of the casualties that may occur from her plan to erupt the volcanoes on Hawaii.
Despite her magic requiring her to be outside, Saronia describes herself as an indoor person. She also apparently thinks herself as European and hates calling Russia part of Asia.
Biography[]
A Russian magician who was originally part of the Russian Orthodox Church's forces, Saronia had been deployed to Vladivostok to stop Academy City from landing but had little to do since the invasion was primarily carried out by supersonic bombers. She later disappeared in the confusion of the war's ending before defecting to GREMLIN with her goal of getting revenge on Academy City and America because of their actions during the post-war period. After World War III was over, she began taking control of several important people in the central government of the United States of America in order to further the plans of Gremlin and was later one of the pawns used by the organization in their attack on Hawaii together with Cendrillon.
Abilities[]
Leshy: Saronia's main magic is based on the Leshy, a male woodland spirit of Slavic mythology. The Leshy is the ruler of the forest and the king of all animals that live there and a fairy who loves gambling. Saronia makes herself the Leshy of her surroundings, giving her an ability to rule over/manipulate people who are designated as residents of the forest. At first, Leivinia Birdway gathered information indicating that Saronia needed to use Russian conifers for her magic. However, it is later revealed that this was just a lie. Saronia can actually use any plant in Hawaii for her magic, however, she requires the plant to be part of an enclave, a territory that is separate from a governing body, and is within the territory of another. This enclave is what establishes the Leshy's forest and sets Saronia as the Leshy/ruler, with all who dwell in it as the residents.
