Dion Fortune

Dion Fortune is a posthumous character introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.


Dion Fortune was not a member of the original Golden Dawn, but joined its remnants in 1919, under the courteous protection of Mina Mathers.

During her time in the cabal, she compiled grimoires which were beyond what Golden Dawn's defenses could handle, with some magicians in the cabal speculating that their teachings moved beyond what the original ones had covered. Aside from traditional magical activities and writing grimoires, Fortune also contributed to an occult magazine, worked on correspondence education and gave lectures.

At one point, during some turf wars within the cabal, Fortune angered Mina (according to her, being the only one to truly do so) and was subjected to a harsh magical attack by her, with her house being surrounded by black cats, her back being sliced open by the cats' claws, and Fortune even seeing phantom black cats the size of tigers. Fortune was considerably traumatized by the attack.

At some point after her death, Dion Fortune was reproduced along with other members of the Golden Dawn by Coronzon, through the application of Tarot-based grimoires, as part of her anti-Crowley countermeasures.
