Caldina profile

Caldina is a beautiful illusionist native of Chizeta, she's got pink shoulder-length hair, blue eyes and a charming smile. Her revealing outfit undergoes some radical changes from season to season, but it's basically a small bikini suit enriched with round red jewels on her neck, breast line, shoes and front hands. She also has a jewel alike on the golden tiara that keeps her wavy hair in a high tail. In the first season she has a fashionable red mantle, while in the second she wears a fluffy long pink veil around the arms. Golden bracelets adorns her upper arms. She is the 4th Zagato's henchman the Knights have to face.

Caldina is a graceful dancer who has the special skill of creating illusions and bewitching people with her performance. She catches the eye of her victims using sinuous movements of the body and tolling the jewel-bells on her ears, toes and hands; while her audience is busy watching her rhythmic dance, she enchants them in her spell. She basically draws the enemies in her illusions with her graceful form and ringing jewels. Once one gets charmed, his entire body is under her control and she can make her captives feel, hear and see what she wants. In the anime she also spreads a magic perfume with a fan to bewitch the Knights. Caldina controls others' movements with her will and only those with stronger spirit can break the spell, gradually regaining the charge of their senses. She's a traveling dancer whose sole purpose in life is making money. Up to her life is money and she left her birth planet, Chizeta, with just bucks in mind. While chasing her top priority on Cephiro she got hired by Zagato to kill the Knights....apparently she would do anything for the right earning, including bribing, murdering and blackmailing. In the manga she meets the Knights in the wind temple, takes control over Umi and Hikaru against Fuu but gets positively beaten by the impressive willpower of this latter. In the manga, she's quite close to Ascot and after his final defeat she attacks the Knights several times, even against the little boy's will. During a battle she understands the importance of good feelings, friendship and generosity thanks to Fuu, hence she follows Ascot's example deciding not to fight the girls anymore.

Caldina, the most self-confident person in Cephiro, not afraid to assert that she is beautiful and well-endowed, returns in the 2nd season by the Knights side. In a way more mature, she will spend all her efforts in the battle against Cephiro's invaders, helping the Knights with her everlasting cheerfulness and sisterly love. In the anime, during the worst times of crisis, she will also use her skills and a pair of short blades against monsters in order to protect Cephiro's people. She likes to pick on Ascot, she's the best person to have around when tension is high and she tries to help everyone who needs something, Ascot in particular, whom she loves like a little brother. Caldina has a deep relation with Rafaga, the former Emerode's bodyguard.
