Feline Sora
– Job: Conductor

– Attacker who utilizes alchemy and the “Necronomicon” grimoire packed with alchemic wisdom to attack groups of enemies at once with vast range, attribute-based attacks
– Her enthusiasm for studying has gone far enough to impact her sense of money, which has gone mad to the point that she will waste money to buy any alchemic material she comes across
– Fe appears to be indifferent to others, but will go wild when it comes to “studying”…
