Lyca, also known by her codename Arachne, is a member of the Hero Clan and a Hero Proclamation Exam graduate of the Hero Trials.

She helped Kasha fight against Condor during the exams. She became a friend of hers as well as an ally. After Nostra's incident, she was transferred to another branch.

Appearance

Lyca is a slim muscular woman with an odd shade of pink skin that is partially covered by black rose tattoos that cover her right arm, right leg, and left hand. Her hair is a shade of red slightly tinted with pink and ends at the base of her neck. She only wears a bra and pants with no sleeves.

She has 3 eyebrow piercings on her right eyebrow. She wears a pair of black arm guards that are equipped with 3 red flower-printed throwing darts. In other words, she looks like she came from a gang.

Personality

Lyca, at first, came off as a typical jerk who could've become just another corrupt hero as she presumably wanted to be a hero for money or entertainment. She was arrogant and stuck up toward the other candidates.

But after she was defeated by Ihwa, she became more cautious and less gullible watching her back and avoiding the invaders, and after the first trial and Condor's attack, she seemed more friendly to her teammates and even tried cooking for them (but failed).

Story

Hero Candidate Arc

Lyca is first seen in the gymnasium of the Hero Trails as she and other candidates wait for the

after realizing she couldn't beat Kasha reluctantly revealed her gift it during their fight.

Abilities

Gift

Threads: Lyca can create thinned energy threads. She can manipulate them to make tripwire traps, and they are quite durable as Lyca said that they could've torn Kasha's fist apart. The threads can also be used to restrain her opponents but there seems to be a limit to who they can ensnare depending on their strength level, as Condor easily broke through them without much effort when not even using his swords.

Hand-to- Hand Combat: Lyca displayed some form of fighting ability as she momentarily took on Kasha.
