Profile

Death Scythe (デス・サイズ, Desu Saizu), formerly Spirit (スピリット, Supiritto) is Shinigami-sama's current weapon and Maka's father, formerly known as Spirit (still called by a few people, including Shinigami and Stein).

He is very protective and supportive of Maka and is always prepared to jump to her aid any time she is in trouble but he is always stopped by Shinigami. His wife, Kami, is Maka's mother, but they divorced one month prior to the start of the story due to his constant flirting with other women. Even though he visits clubs, he is still insanely loyal to both his daughter and ex-wife (who he refers to as "Mama"). He usually runs yelling about how much he loves Maka.

He is extremely sad that his daughter appears to hate him (often times, she regresses and shows hints of truly loving her father), but he still tries to be a good father by looking out for her in his own unusual and unique silly way. Spirit is consistently shown to be a warm, caring, sensitive, and kind-hearted man.

Aside from his love for Maka, he is compassionate towards children in general, as shown when he wept in anger for Medusa's casual abandonment of Crona, her own child, which he claimed was a common sympathy felt for children by fathers.
