Esdeath



Esdeath is one of the many antagonists that appear in Akame ga Kill. She is a high-ranking general of the Empire, notoriously known as the Empire's Strongest General as well as being dubbed 'The Ice Queen'. She is the leader of the special police squad known as the Jaegers, which was created to combat the assassin group Night Raid under the orders of the Prime Minister.

Background
Esdeath was born in the Northern Frontier Lands, being the daughter of the Partas Clan's cheif. At a young age, her mother died at the hands of an Ultra-Class Danger Beast, resulting with the former being raised by her father, becoming a skilled and formidable fighter. She became comfortable with inflicting pain on living things after seeing animals she caught being gutted by her father and lived by his creed: "The strong survive and the weak die". One day, she went on an outing only to return to the Tribe and find it destroyed, seeing people dead or dying. After finding her father mortally wounded and seeing him die, she vowed to get stronger, eventually joining the Empire's military. She rised through the ranks rapidly and was later allowed to choose a Teigu. She took the Demons Extract and drank from it, managing to tame it, despite its low compatability rate and the fact that it made all other consumers go insane. This enabled her to become the strongest in the Empire.

Personality
Esdeath is a sadist who lacks empathy for those whom she deems weak due to her father's philosophy and enjoys inflicting great pain on her opponents, whether it'd be physically or mentally. She has no qualms about killing innocent people in order to get what she wants, rationalising her actions with her father's creed, though she does treat her subordinates well, making them loyal to her. She loves to fight against strong opponents, showing great respect for them. However, her love for battle can go so far that it incites more hatred towards the Empire.

Physical Appearance
Esdeath is a tall, beautiful and slender woman who is in her early 20s.She wears a General's apparel with long sleeves, a blue scarf on her neck and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, which is the proof of her Teigu.

Powers, Weapons and Abilities
After consuming the Demon's Extract (which is a powerful Teigu), Esdeath can manipulate ice as well as create ice from nothing, using this power to create icicles, freeze people to death and more. She has been shown to effortlessly freeze a lake in moments, freeze a castle and even summon a massive ball of ice. She has become so proficient with her Teigu that she can use her Trump Card: Mahapadma. This allows her to feeeze time temporarily, though she can only use it once every 24 hours due to the exhaustion inflicted on the user. In addition, people who have resistance to ice can still move when this is used.

She usually carries a long rapier that she uses in combat, which she can use efficiently and can battle opponents without the use of her Teigu. She has also been shown to be highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, possessing great physical strength. In addition, she has a pet dragon that she can fly around on.

Esdeath has a strong sixth sense that allows her to sense killing intent, even at long distances, being able to sense if someone's spying on her. She also possesses a strong sense of smell and has extensive knowledge on the human physiology due to being a torturer for a long time, inventing new torture techniques. She is shown to be quite intelligent as well.
