Vento of the Front

Vento of the Front is a character introduced in Toaru Majutsu no Index. The only female member of the secretive God's Right Seat, Vento of the Front displays a fearsome appearance that suits well with her attitude and power. She is the first member of God's Right Seat introduced, making her one of the most powerful magicians in the series. She is the main magic side antagonist of the Academy City Invasion Arc, as a counterpart to the science side's antagonist Kihara Amata. Vento of the Front is usually clad in yellow which is accentuated by the color brown. She wears a yellow kirtle with the symbol of the cross over a brown collared undershirt reaching up to cover her hands, in combination with removable yellow sleeves that goes from her wrist to her upper arms. Vento also wears brown hosiery and yellow shoes. Finally she covers her head with a yellow headpiece. Central to her outfit is a thorn design theme, which covers a piece of brown cloth which is part of her head wear as well her wearing a thorn belt around her waist. Vento of the Front is described as having a virgin-like figure though this is ruined by her self-presentation, with her heavily pierced face and heavy make-up. Though sometimes hidden, she carries a chain that was pierced at the bottom of her tongue with the Cross of Divine Punishment attached to it. Coupled with her demeanor and personality, this was willingly made by Vento of the Front as to give people a negative impression of her and makes it easier to trigger the Divine Punishment. Vento of the Front has a very spiteful personality as a deliberate attempt to provoke someone to trigger Divine Punishment. She is shown to be very assertive and impatient and has shown little respect to people of authority such as the Pope when coercing him to immediately sign a document that will make Kamijou Touma an enemy of God. Vento of the Front is also shown to be very sarcastic and delves into taunting when talking to an opponent such as Aleister Crowley or to Touma during her first battle with him. Vento of the Front's most prominent character feature is her highly negative disposition towards science due to the nature of her brother's death, for which she blames science. However, because she chose to act and look to provoke animosity, she willingly allowed herself to be isolated from others, where even the possibility of being given good will is suppressed by her actions. This is due to Vento of the Front blaming herself for the death of her brother who chose to die so that she may live, she subsequently decided to blame science for his death because it was a convenient scapegoat for her. Vento of the Front knows this as well, and acknowledges the disdain her own looks brought upon her by her spell. Vento of the Front also seem to have a low opinion on non-Catholics, calling them "heathen monkeys".
