Trinity Glassfille

""My glasses have been ruined, haven't they....""

Trinity Glassfille (トリニティ＝グラスフィール), also known as Platinum the Trinity (プラチナ＝ザ＝トリニティ) and the Platinum Alchemist, was one of the Six Heroes and the former wielder of the Nox Nyctores - Arma Reboare: Muchourin. Trinity was the best friend of Nine the Phantom and a master of Alchemy, later becoming sealed within her own Nox and sharing a body with Platinum the Trinity.

Trinity first appeared in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift through Platinum's body, and was later given a physical appearance of her own designed by Yuuki Kato in BlazBlue: Phase 0. She was announced for BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War on February 14th, 2018.

Appearance
Trinity is a young girl with pale skin, shoulder-length blonde hair with pink streaks and bright green eyes hidden beneath a pair of large rimless glasses. She has a voluptuous figure hidden beneath her Mage's Guild uniform, which consists of a white shirt with golden rimming that fits tightly around her chest. Under her collar, Trinity wears a turquoise ribbon, and the sleeves of her uniform reach down to her wrists. Trinity also wears a black skirt, black tights, and black flat shoes. She is sometimes seen with her hair tied into two bunches with bright blue ribbons, but is known to wear her hair down.

Usually, Trinity is seen with her signature cream coat which comes down to her ankles. She usually has the hood up over her head. The sleeves of the hood are long and come past her wrists, while each shoulder pad has a bell coming off it. Underneath her hood, Trinity is sometimes seen with a black Mage's Guild blazer.

Personality
Kind to a fault, Trinity only wishes for the best of everyone around her. She is forgiving, maternal, sweet, and caring for everyone, always taking time out of her schedule to listen to the concerns of others. There is no hidden agenda with Trinity, she is honest to a fault and hates lying to others or bringing them sadness.

When pushed, Trinity can be stubborn and will sometimes stop people from doing certain activities only if she believes it is in their best interests. If angered, Trinity can be a force to be reckoned with and she is considered extremely terrifying by her friends when she's angry. Her wrath will usually manifest in lengthy lectures on how to be good to other people and to appreciate their friends, nature, and the world around them.

Because she believes that everyone is willing to be their best self, Trinity's only real fault is giving people too many chances. She can be easy to manipulate because of how willing she is to try and help others. That said, Trinity will only give her best for everything, and is extremely reliable. She is consistently selfless and can be driven to tears out of her concern for others. Deep down, Trinity is insecure, knowing that she lives in Nine's shadow but she buries these feelings.

Academically, Trinity excels as a master of sorcery and alchemy and was always seen as a model student in her classes. It is implied that she harbors romantic feelings for Kazuma Kval and would go to the ends of the Earth for his sake. These feelings persisted for nearly 100 years. Although she disliked the title of one of the Six Heroes, Trinity accepted it as she knew humanity needed a beacon to look towards as they rebuilt after the war ended.

Powers and Abilities
Having spent most of her life enrolled in the Mage's Guild, Trinity is a hard worker and her aptitude in both sorcery and alchemy is a testament to this. While her alchemy has been mainly used in academic pursuits, her sorcery specializes in defense, being superior to even Nine in this area. While Trinity's abilities in these areas have not been explicitly shown, it is said that she is strong enough to become one of the Ten Sages.

As the first wielder of the Muchourin, Trinity is the most familiar with its abilities. She has not shown any mental deterioration from wielding it nor has she lost her memories from overusing it, which is one of the weapon's side effects. With Muchourin, Trinity can create any number of physical objects to barrage her opponents with. She is also capable of creating fully functioning bodies for others - this was best demonstrated when she created a weak body for Terumi, forcing his soul to reside in it. At full power with Muchourin's core, Trinity can create constructs on reaction, such as a massive roof that withstood seithr spikes rained down from the Black Beast itself.

Trinity has the power to swap her soul between Nox Nyctores and can even maintain a visible spirit form, although she remains intangible. With the help of Muchourin's wielder, however, she can be granted a body for a brief duration that can let her act in the physical realm. Trinity also has the ability to possess others, notably Bell and the main body of Platinum. During this time, she has full access to that body's physical abilities, and this extends to the ability to move a person's soul between different bodies. The limits of Trinity's spiritual abilities are unknown.

Even though she is one of the Six Heroes, Trinity has some noticeable weaknesses. Primarily, she is always ready to see the best in people, making her hesitant to hurt others, even Terumi. Trinity's offensive sorcery is not as strong as someone such as Nine, and her spirit form means she can do little to physically intervene in the world - it is likely that she can be cut down by Hihiirokane.

Genesis of the Azure Flame Commentary
Mori: ''I couldn't come up with anything about Trinity, so I left everything to Kato without saying anything. Thus this well-endowed, bespectacled, flighty young lady was born; IT'S HERE! (KITAKORE) I thought.''

Kato: Parts [of her] are almost bursting at the seams, and there's a feeling of being slightly off from first-rate, so it can be said that she won't become that popular under normal circumstances; a character that will hit it off among die-hards.
