Flum Apricot

Flum lived a relatively normal life until she was chosen by the deity Origin to join the "Hero's Party" to defeat the Demon Lord Flum Apricot can be described as "kind and friendly" is complicated, as her personality is deeply influenced by the trauma she has suffered. Stoic and Self-Deprecating ​Due to her original status as "useless" and the subsequent trauma of her enslavement, Flum often harbors low self-worth. She frequently views herself as a monster or a tool, especially given the gore and brutality required by her fighting style. She is often weary and cynical, burdened by the weight of her past, yet she carries this burden with a quiet, hardened resolve. Flum Apricot’s primary weapon is the Souleater Zweihänder (also referred to as the Soul-Devouring Zweihänder) Awakening the "Reversal" Affinity ​In this moment of life-or-death peril, Flum discovers the true nature of her "Reversal" affinity: it converts negative status effects into positive ones. By wielding the cursed sword—which she can use effectively due to her power—she is able to heal her injuries and gain strength instead of succumbing to the weapon's curse. Cursed Equipment Mastery: Flum can wield cursed items that would normally kill or harm their wielder. Because of "Reversal," any negative side effects are flipped into positive ones. For example, when using her primary weapon, the Souleater Zweihänder, the sword’s lethal curse is converted into an instant regeneration effect for her injuries. Combat Application: She can consciously activate "Reversal" during battle to turn incoming projectiles back toward her opponents. In extreme or lethal scenarios, she has demonstrated the ability to invert the structure of a human body, effectively turning it inside out Inversion of Effects: The core of her ability is the power to invert the effects of anything that influences her. Physical Skills ​Despite her "zero stats" limitation preventing her from gaining strength through conventional means, Flum is a capable combatant who relies on her equipment and tactical use of "Reversal": Enhanced Combat Prowess: While her base stats remain at zero, her effective strength, speed, and agility are bolstered by the benefits she gains from cursed equipment and the reflexive application of her power. Swordsmanship: She is skilled with a blade, most notably the Souleater Zweihänder. Regeneration: By utilizing her ability in tandem with her cursed sword, she can rapidly heal wounds, allowing her to survive brutal, high-stakes encounters that would kill others. Ruthlessness Against Enemies ​While she prefers peace, Flum is ruthless when forced to fight. Her experiences as a slave taught her that mercy is often a liability. When she determines someone is a genuine threat to her or Milkit, she does not hesitate to use the most efficient—and often visceral—methods to eliminate them. She is not a "hero" in the traditional sense; she is a survivor who has been forced into the role of a slayer to protect her own small world.
