Tena Vita (テナ・ヴィタ Tena Vita?) born as "Amater Magic Labratory Exerpiment 17" later known as Cutlass (カトラス Katorasu?) is a mysterious girl who had introduced herself as Touta Konoe's "sister".
Appearance[]
Tena Vita is a young woman with dark skin and blonde hair and red eyes. She is a double amputee, using a cybernetic left arm and right leg as prostheses.
Personality[]
Tena Vita in her first encounter with Touta has shown to be incredibly bloodthirsty and lethal toward him not even hesitating to unleash killing intent on him. After meeting him, despite calling Touta, "Nii-san", she attacked him with the intent of eliminating him and even teased and tormented him with the information that he wasn't even really a child of Negi and was instead a "failed clone".
Despite her ruthless nature, she has shown to be jealous after seeing the kids kept at UQ-Holder playing around and acting like normal children, which was something that she didn't get to do growing up. But, Tena Vita showed a softer side around them, handing them back the ball and petting one of them on the head, while acting ruthless toward immortals.
The more she fought against immortals, the more she showed her contempt for them, stating that all of them were overconfident due to their regenerative abilities. She even laughed as she declared that she gave Touta "scars" that'll never fade, but in the end, she did look back towards him with a saddened look regretful about her life.

Equipment[]
Cutlass' Sword: Tena Vita wields an initial large black single-edged sword much longer than herself in height that also has a trigger built located near where its guard was supposed to be and a double-handed hilt. Her sword can also be used alongside her magic attack as noted when she activated "Emittan" after pressing the trigger.
Ensis Exorcizans Replica: She can summon a black large sword, which is a replica of Asuna Kagurazaka's own Pactio Card, Ensis Exorcizans. As such, this sword is effective in terms of both exorcising demons and dispelling magic to the point of almost killing Touta for a time.[2]
