Name: Psyche Halliwell
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthday: 30 December (Capricorn)
Blood Type: B
Favourite Food: Stuffed clam
Least Favourite Food: Milk
Likes: Film noir, photography, reading, writing, sketching, drumming, games of strategy, mysteries, psychological thrillers (as opposed to the ‘boring’ slash-and-hack movies that have taken over horror)
Deck: Split theme - spellcasters for her brother, and fiends and mythical creatures for her namesake. She also has an abundance of magic cards. Her favourite monster is the Witty Phantom, who is actually her ka/duel spirit, and she owns a red Black Magician Girl to match her brother’s Black Magician.

Background: She and her older brother had always been protective of each other. Though American by birth, they lived in Japan where their mother taught English and their father was a local performer. It was through colleagues of their father that the kids learned a dangerous lesson by example – looks meant everything, and disfigurement was a fate worse than death. Anyway, they pretty much took care of each other, and soon came up with plans to “make it big” — Pandora would be a performer as well, and Psyche his manager. To start, they began to study magic when she was just 6 years old and he 12. They worked over the years, and she clung even tighter to her big brother after their mother died six years later.
Eventually, the dream did somewhat come to fruition: Not long after Psyche’s 15th birthday, the then-21-year-old Pandora was “discovered,” and his career as a professional magician took off. His agent suggested he take a stage name, and inspired by the major arcana of his tarot deck, he became “Arkana, Master of Magicians.”
Not yet old enough to manage anything, Psyche instead followed on tours as a techie, hiring a tutor for the school she was missing. All was well until that fateful night. It was okay, this escape trick was no problem, they’d done this a million times before, the box was perfectly safe… but it wasn’t secured enough, and she couldn’t tell, and the box collapsed and exploded…
Visibly shaken and more concerned for her big brother than ever, Psyche was nevertheless sent back home to stay with her father, to return to school and wait for Pandora to recover. She put herself to work finishing her last couple months of school and going through an investigation training course, hoping to be a private-eye or work for the police. Working and job-hopping did quite enough to keep her occupied, but when the one-year anniversary of the accident neared, and Pandora went missing, she suddenly had to put her training into high gear.
It didn't take her long to track him to the group known as the Rare Hunters, and so decided to infiltrate, getting an inside look at the group to know just what it was they were doing with her big brother. She was recruited as a strategist, giving the duelists clever ways to cheat - and with her vantage point to the authority and a way to watch over Pandora, this was exactly where she wanted to be. She was in a perfect place to gather information, and eventually to bring Malik down, the way he was bringing her brother and all these other vulnerable people down. But first she had to keep up the charade and get close to the higher-ups.
She didn't plan on growing close to Malik's second in command for real.
Personality: Observant, intelligent, and determined to a fault, Psyche would make a perfect detective. She has to have a logical explanation for everything, and has the odd talent of being able to make logic out of complete nonsense. Also, she is quite stubborn, and once she has an idea, she doesn’t let it go unless someone manages to convince her that her logic is faulty. (This, of course, only works if her logic actually is faulty, and you have proof.) Logical, however, does not necessarily mean aloof. Though normally quiet, she can be downright fierce when need be, especially when it comes to matters of loyalty.
