Deuce Spade

Deuce Spade is a first-year student in Heartslabyul. He enrolled in the school aiming to become a powerful mage. He's very serious, but a little disorganized.

Appearance
Deuce has dark blue hair and teal eyes, his hair brushed mostly to the side while a portion hangs down on his left side. Over his right eye, he has black makeup shaped like a spade. He wears a white shirt, with a black vest patterned with card suits covering it. Over the vest, he wears a blazer that the others in his dorm wear, except for Riddle. He wears a black and yellow ribbon around his waist, black and white high tops. He also wears white trousers.

Personality
Deuce is a straightforward person who goes face to face with his foes and difficulties, preferring to play fair over cheating. He also has a competitive streak which makes him refuse to be a loser no matter the circumstances. Deuce is an idiot with a simple mindset according to himself and others. However, he is hard working and always gives his best effort. Deuce has a strong sense of compassion and moral understanding, shown when he refused to mock Azul in episode 3-35, understanding that Azul wants to erase his past.

During the time he used to be a delinquent, he had sharp tongue and often got involved in fights. Currently, he is trying to be an honors student, though his violent tendencies sometimes pop up when he is angry. However, his time as a delinquent has given him the experience to guess his enemy's motive.

Background
Deuce used to be a delinquent in middle school but vowed to clean up his act at Night Raven after he heard his mother secretly cry in a phone call to his grandmother. He most likely didn't pay attention in school, resulting in him taking a lot of time to solve simple math problems such as basic Algebra. Because of his fearsome reputation in his previous school, many barely approached him. As a result, he gets easily nervous talking to women other than his mother because he doesn't know what to say. Deuce's favorite hobby during these years was riding his magic wheel, which is something true until now. According to Cater, he knows how to fix machinery, such as Malleus' toy. Deuce says that he picked up the skills while helping out his single mom at home.

He is an only child and loves his mom very much. The entire reason he’s trying so hard to be an honors student is so that he can become a son his mom can be proud of. He once cried when she called him to tell him she was proud.

The only time his grandma was mentioned was when he told a story of his mom crying to her on the phone, thinking she’d failed as a parent (during Deuce’s delinquent days).

Signature Spell
Deuce's signature spell is known as "Bet the Limit" (, Betto za Rimitto; lit. "Retaliation"). It allows him to throw another person's magic right back at them and is more effective the stronger his opponent is.
