Hyde Anderson


 * Hyde Anderson is a Human from the Magical Molly! Reboot continuity family.

A brother of Hilda Adams & Molly's Childhood friend (or fiancee), Hyde Anderson was Molly's childhood friend before his departure to study overseas in Hoozuki (and he returns to Mitakihara many years later). Until one day, he was dragged to a Magical Girl's Warfield, making one of the civilians to be the part of the team. But don't worry, he ain't a coward to shoot down (with Hilda's various weapons, like a shotgun.) those minions. He's also Kacey Stevens' "Training tool" (or mostly her constant victim, until he backfires to her), until she grew some feelings to him.

Apart from having a fiancé, he also had another girlfriend: Kanami, which is also another one of Hyde's childhood girlfriend (which is also his study partner). Unfortunately for her: during a battle with a Witch, Kanami had sacrificed her life for saving Hyde. After he had learned about Kanami's sacrifice, and Molly's (including her sister's) alter ego, he became deeply confused & angry, and he decided to leave them alone for now. After Hyde accepts Molly's fate, he currently aids Team Cycle, including his sister, & his future fiancé.

He doesn't usually talk with his sister, but he still deeply cares about her.

Abilities
Despite all of this, Hyde does not have his own costume, and his magic ability is only half-powerful compared to other Magical Girls. His unusual abilities still remain as long the Gem is in Hyde's possession.
 * Close Combat - Hyde possesses a fighting style, which is a street fighting and martial arts mix.
 * Era 3 System - Because of him wearing Kanami's Gem as his necklace and due to not being fully assimilated with the Gem's system (as it was only half-assimilated him), he was gifted with some abilities:
 * Telepathy.
 * Endurance.
 * Healing.
 * Slightly enhanced agility for evasion.
 * Enhanced shooting.

Weapons

 * Combat Shotgun - Burrowed from Hilda, which is modeled from the Remington Model 870.
 * Knife - Hyde can summon Combat Knives which is suited for close-range combat. The weapons are the same ones that Kanami owns. Based on Kajiuria's Gladia-type melee weapons. However, the blades can break if he uses incorrectly uses it/aims at the harden sections of a Witch.
