*Appearance: A young looking girl who has very long hair worn in large twin tails coiled into large princess curls held by a white skull hair bobble each, a pair of black-furred, raised dog ears and a black button nose. Her attire consists of a black choker with a small metal skull attached, a maroon over bust corset with zippers on the side with maroon detached bell sleeves that are pleated, maroon fingerless gloves, a black scabbard attached any hip-height side and a black pleated mini-skirt fashioned to allow her black-furred dog tail to stick out. Her footwear includes a pair of black thigh highs and black lace-up boots. Has a large bust size.

*Personality: Kerbera is a dutiful and alert girl who serves and obeys her master thoroughly, showing aggression to anyone who is hostile to her master. She'll even feel obliged to question anyone who she is unfamiliar with that dares approach Avril. Kerbera can become homesick if she leaves Avril's side for too long and easily becomes jealous if outsiders are to receive more respect from Avril than she would.

Kerbera's obsession over her master is because she has grown quite dependent of Avril, even being spoiled by her. Without Avril, Kerbera has trouble in being self-sufficient and normally loses hope. Kerbera may even beg or steal as a last resort if she were to lose Avril.

In social interaction, Kerbera is pretty friendly and steady, although a little easy to provoke at times. She especially takes interest in participation of social events that grant her special privileges or make her feel important. Kerbera doesn't seem to mind company with just about anyone as long as they respect her, her associates and her belongings.

Kerbera values Umbra as a close sister-like companion and will do many things to please and protect her.

*Likes: Avril, Umbra, feeling privileged, fencing, floriography

*Dislikes: Anyone who threatens her associates, anyone taking Avril away from her, highly disrespectful people

*Abilities:
-Manipulation of Shadows: Kerbera is a highly capable Magician whose powers center around the concept of shadows in a literal and metaphysical sense. That means not only can Kebera absorb or block off visible light to form shadows, but she can also obscure something, intercept or devour virtually anything with shadowy Mana. Kerbera can even conceal the very existence of herself or anything else from detection as long as she or her target remain in the absence of visible light as well as deprive others of their ability to see visible light, particularly through curses.

While Kerbera doesn't control shadows per se, she seems to have subtle control over things that involve them including refractions and the void of absent visible light. Through inventive use, Kerbera is capable of harnessing shadows to teleport in or between shadows, step on the shadow of something to restrict mobility, command shadow summons, sneak through blockades with jointed shading, absorb energy and even intercept entry or paths using shadows.

-Fencing: Unlike her best friend, Kerbera has decent skills in close-quarters combat, especially with a rapier in hand to back up her magic. Since her weapon of choice emphasizes in the combination of grace and speed to deliver her thrusts and jabs, Kerbera usually carries parrying daggers to force openings more easily. Although Kerbera has plenty of combat experience against intruders and duelists, she is not a master and may rely on incorporating her magic in fencing to even the odds against highly trained warriors.

*History: Kerbera was originally a stray girl from Third Circle who spent her earlier life trying to get around in such a chaotic realm. She picked up a number of valuable skills along the way that would improve her survivability. Kerbera eventually learned of a specific hidden nexus between the Third Circle and the Netherworld that would allow her to cross over to a "better" world and go on a search to find it. Once she succeeded, Kerbera would cross over to the nexus she was recommended to go through and, unknown to her at first, found herself emerging from the heart of a volcano into a new land.

Kerbera was quickly found by the authorities of the area and be detained for investigation. Kerbera soon discovered that she was in a land called Kyochi well before the investigation was complete. After receiving approval of being a legal entity for Kyochi, Kerbera set off to make her living in the Five Nights Forest.

One day on her trip of Medi-Iro Machi, Kerbera met a depressed Raven Shikigami crying at a tavern and became curious. The depressed girl allowed Kerbera to sit next to her and engaged in a conversation together, introducing herself as Umbra. After that day, Kerbera and Umbra continued to meet each other at the same tavern frequently as they developed a friendship with each other.

After a while, Kerbera was trusted by Umbra enough to receive the real explanation as to why she was depressed recently and learned that her master was killed before she met Kerbera. Kerbera had concerns over Umbra's situation and asked if she could be of any help to her. By the next day, Kerbera would be met by Umbra at trail to explain things further including her master being named Avril White and requested Kerbera if she could assist her in resurrecting Avril. After the two saved up for enough money to buy several things, including oneiric pills, the two used emergency instructions Avril left to Umbra to perform their resurrection ritual specially made just to bring back Avril.

A few weeks after the ritual, Kerbera would wake up after having a dream about Avril only to find that herself inside a mansion with Avril and Umbra awaiting to greet her. Avril took an immediate liking to Kerbera and was rewarded by the Vampire to become her pet and right-hand guardian of the White Mansion. Kerbera became grateful of the reward and dedicated her life to serving at Avril's side. However, Kerbera's independence started to gradually decline over the years as Avril had spoiled her a little too much.
