   Keys: Hannah England

   student of the Luna Nova Magical Academy. She often accompanies Diana Cavendish and acts as her loyal friend and assistant, along with Barbara. Appearance Hannah is a girl of average stature. She has wavy auburn hair, that she keeps tied into a ponytail by a yellow ribbon. Her hazel eyes show a firm attitude, and she has somewhat thick eyebrows.

   Her Luna Nova Academy standard uniform consists of a dark blue skirt and vest with two buttons in the center of the same color but darker, a white long-sleeved shirt with dark blue cufflinks and a dark blue tie underneath, along with the academy standard colored belt, in this case blue. She wears long socks of the same color as the vest and dark brown loafers with darker soles.

   Personality Hannah is shown to be a bully who takes delight in picking on non-magical and weaker witches, but fortunately not sadistic enough to violently abuse them. She is antagonistic to Akko and her friends, due to her incompetence with magic and her academic level in Luna Nova, in addition to being a friend of Diana, who also does not have a good relationship with her. As a result of their attitude, in "Don't Stop Me Now", she and Barbara help Akko negatively in the broom race by transforming theirs into shoddy carts to participate, since Akko could not fly with hers. She also judges her own friend Barbara for loving in secret Night Fall.

   Not surprisingly, as with other bullies in general, she and Barbara have a fearful side beneath aforementioned bad qualities. In the first short film, the two show too much fear to the monsters or dangerous places to which Diana takes them, who thinks that they should give fear and not the other way around. Similarly, in "What You Will", they reduced into cowering messes upon being informed by Akko (who involuntarily assumed Diana's likeness because of Woodward's machinations at the time) that they were afflicted with ageing curse.

   Also, while she and Barbara started off as sycophants towards Diana, the two gradually view the Cavendish as a genuine friend, which becomes evident in the events of "Cavendish" as they left devastated when Diana finally left the academy. After the events of "Intelligence and Sensibility", Hannah and Barbara thank Akko for helping Diana return to Luna Nova Academy, something they admit that not even they could accomplish, and finally become her friend, as seen at the end of the final episode.

   Abilities and Equipment Hannah, like all witches in the academy, has her magic wand. In the first short film, she uses it to to attack the Ancient Dragon with a lightning spell.

   Hannah also carried a magical stopwatch with a small faery tied into the device with it moving its clock hands. It's much more likely the faery in question being a golem-esque construct modeled after one and bewitched to emulate the work of mundane stopwatch which utilized clockwork mechanism.

   In the manga series, Hannah and Barbara use magic to manipulate the trajectory of the ball in a volleyball game. Hanna also uses a spell to conjure a chain with a shackle to capture a rabbit.

   Keys: Avery

   Appearance Avery is an average stature girl. She has dark purple hair and thin eyes of the same color, with long eyelashes. In the movies, her hair is neck-length, and barely covers her forehead except for a slick of hair in the middle that is swept to her right, and having longer locks framing the sides of her face, while in the anime, her hair is shoulder-length with a longer fringe, where she parts her hair in the left and the right with part of her hair forming a triangle in the middle, and two longer longs frame the sides of her face.

   She uses two red hairpins, one on the left and the other on the right. In the movies, her hairpins are elliptical and she wears them at the height of her fringe, while in the anime series, they're triangular and she wears them in the height of her eyes.

   For her personalized Luna Nova uniform attire, Avery's body belt and hatband are a pale shade of violet, just like the ribbon sash on her broom. Personality Avery is a diligent student who can be demanding and harsh at times as well as having low opinions on non-magical and weak witches who don't know the concepts of magic, explaining her poor impression in Akko when they first met. She also shown to have a dislike towards tourists, of whom she had been surrounded by during the holidays of the academy. While seemingly a bully as much as Hannah and Barbara on the first glance, she's in much nicer and able to get along with others better in comparison of latter two. She loves to sing, and wants to be a singer-songwriter when she grows up. Relationships Hannah and Barbara Avery, Hannah and Barbara share a common distate toward witches who are from a mundane family albeit for different reasons (Avery questions whether said kind of witches being no better than idiots she doesn't like) and least of a bully compared to latter two. The three seem to have a somewhat close relationship, as they were discussing about how all of their holidays went and the current financial issues of Luna Nova.

   Mary and Blair Mary and Blair are Avery's roommates and friends. She is frequently shown with them during most gatherings, and they eat lunch together.

   Atsuko Kagari Avery and Akko are not seen interacting frequently. However, Avery has some contempt for her, as she ridiculed Akko when she stated that she isn't from a magical bloodline when they first met; this stems from Avery's aforementioned personal dislike of witches from mundane bloodline. Even so, she's more than willing to allow Akko to assist her in improving her music video to raise her fame as a WitchTuber through her Sub Event in Chamber of Time.

   Abilities and Equipment As part of her equipment as a witch, Avery has a Magic Broom and knows how to use her respective spell. Though the full-extent of her magical skills has yet to be fully explored, it can be inferred that she's a witch with average talent as with many of her peers.

   Keys: Amanda O'Neil

   Amanda is a tall girl who measures between 5'6" and 5'7". She has short orange hair with salmon undertones that points upwards. Her eyebrows have the same amaranth color and she has light green eyes. Her standard Luna Nova Academy uniform consists of a vest and dark blue skirt, with buttons in the center of the same color and a white shirt below. Like her friends Constanze and Jasminka, she completes her uniform with a green sash and hatband. She wears grayish-brown sports shoes with white laces.

   When not in her uniform, she usually wears a pale blue tank top, along with dark brown shorts and white slippers. Personality Amanda is by her own description a "rebel". An unruly and fun-loving child, she has little respect for authority and is primarily motivated by hedonism. She has a very relaxed attitude towards her schoolwork almost to the point of apathy, and takes the easy way out whenever she has the opportunity. This is both a point of practicality ("Who cares how it gets done if it gets done?") and a result of a general reticence to exert effort when there's no fun to be had in it. In cases where she considers a task to be worth her time (particularly broom flying class), she puts her utmost enthusiasm into it and she refuses to conform to anything less even when her grades depend on it ("Fly free or don't fly at all").

   Amanda is very athletic, being a tomboy with a talent for acrobatics, best exhibited when she flies a broom (a talent that led Akko to ask if she wanted to be a "broom dancer" when she finished school, in response Amanda said she hadn't thought that far in advance and just planned to have fun). She also appears to be somewhat of a kleptomaniac, as she was seen to steal in both The Enchanted Parade and "Don't Stop Me Now". While a staunch individualist, she has genuine compassion for her friends.

   Abilities and Equipment Amanda has great agility and speed when using her broom. She can easily dodge several obstacles at the same time and even evade complex security systems. She can also "dance" with her broom in a feat of acrobatics. Although she shows exceptional skill with broom flying, she is noted to be reckless with her flying by Professor Nelson, as Amanda enjoys flying more freely than her peers.

   Like all academy students, Amanda has a wand that she keeps in her belt band. She can use a wand to cast spells and move various objects according to her steps as shown at the beginning of the parade in the film The Enchanted Parade.

   While it appears she has yet to receive a formal training, Amanda is a formidable combatant, adopting a rather unorthodox fighting style that combines swift kicking and her natural agility should she had to face her enemies in close-quarters as shown in Chamber of Time game and when dueling Louis. Additionally, she is a capable swordswoman, demonstrating moderate to considerable skill in using swords. She also demonstrated the ability to repair a bent rapier, and even fuse it with her wand to create a larger, dual-bladed sword, a technique which more likely a form of Fundamental Alchemy rather than Metamorphosis Magic she similarly skilled with.

   In addition of magically changing her clothes into that of Appleton Academy uniform, her skill in Metamorphosis Magic proved to be remarkable enough to conjure flowers out of thin air.

   Keys: Diana Cavendish

   Diana is a young witch with pale skin, light blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair with side-swept bangs and tea-green highlights. She is considered very beautiful.

   Her Luna Nova uniform consists of the standard tunic, witch hat, shoes, and stockings. The band on her hat and shoes are colored blue, along with her sash. Personality Diana is serious, composed, and erudite. Being descended from a prestigious line of witches back to ancient times, she is exceptionally devoted to her magical studies and to the tradition and history of magic. Her status as Luna Nova's best student cannot be solely attributed to heredity — she has a self-disciplined and maturity far surpassing the average teenage girl.

   She is confident in the superiority of her philosophy of magic where it differs from Akko's, one of the reasons Akko considers her to be her rival (although Diana never did). Like most students, she claims Shiny Chariot to be a fraud, but in actuality is hinted to have been a fan of her. This was confirmed in "A New Beginning" where she was in the midst of the crowd in the flashback and in "Cavendish". In "Intelligence and Sensibility", as Akko expresses her feelings of hope that Diana will be able to achieve her goal for her mother's wish and love her and the academy with all her heart, Diana starts to feel comforted and understood at that moment. In the following end, she and Akko became friends at that moment.

   Despite appearing to be callous and condescending, Diana is not heartless nor arrogant: when she chastises other students it is not out of malice but frustration, she cares about the success of others studies and not just her own. This concern contributes to her dependability, she is willing to help out other students to her best ability whenever they ask.

   Due to her pride in her own abilities and a strong sense of responsibility, she refuses to take credit for other's doing and always admits her mistakes, although she's unable to speak up to teachers due to the trust they have in her (such as being unable to tell Ursula that she was the one to free the dragon in the first OVA, and being unable to tell the teachers that it was Akko who awoke the Pappiliodya in the second episode of the TV series).

   The extent of Cavendish's selfless sense of duty is revealed in the eponymous episode — she is ready to leave her beloved Luna Nova Magical Academy and give up the remainder of her childhood to preserve her family's legacy. She holds no contempt for Akko for being chosen for the role she sought to fulfill all her life and wishes her nothing but success. Her behavior at Luna Nova is seen in a more noble light — she didn't brag about being descended from one of the Nine Olde Witches and kept her orphanhood secret, wanting neither unearned respect nor pity. Despite her seeming to be very prideful, she has insecurities: even with her prestige and high social standing at school, she is too embarrassed to admit anything less than contempt for Shiny Chariot. This could explain why she surrounds herself with sycophants, although she does not let Hannah and Barbara praise her excessively.

   Abilities Diana was born from a 1,500-year-old family of witches that both have a large influence in the magical world and access to knowledge even the faculty of Luna Nova does not know. Due to her origins, she was born with "talent in her veins". While this remained true in the anime series, she was unable to perform magic during her childhood as the result of Chariot's use of Dream Fuel Spirit which in turn, part of Croix's decade of Noir Fuel Spirit plan. Even so, through her extreme dedication to magic from her early childhood, she becomes the most skillful witch in her class, and according to some, in modern times.

   Diana can perform the extremely complicated Nullification Spell to negate any kind of magic which is part of the powerful Fusion Magic, which can enhance the user's power on her spells. She also can create very powerful illusions and determine who is affected by the illusion and who does not, as well as perform the plant rejuvenation ritual invented by her family and outstanding water summoning magic. By using her wand, Diana can project beams, powerful energy blasts or even conjuring protective energy barriers. She also can animate and control a statue, an advanced technique not even taught to senior students. She has advanced in transformations to turn a mouse into a strong and beautiful white horse and reverse any damage by altering matter's flow of time. She is very skilled at astrology as she can see the future usually accurately, has shown a high skill at Object Control Magic and displays a vast knowledge of the history of magic and in different magic languages. Her abilities in riding Magic Broom are also better than the majority of the students in Luna Nova as well, even surpassing to Amanda O'Neill when it comes to speed.

   Being hailed from a family of accomplished healers, Diana is well-versed in the field of health and healing which allowed her to perform Revitalization Magic more efficiently.

   Keys: Sucy Manbavaran

   Sucy is a tall, thin girl who bears an image of a stereotypical witch. She has pale, grayish skin, mauve hair, and red eyes with white pupils. She comes off as laid-back, with droopy, half-lidded eyes that make her look indifferent or lethargic half of the time. Her left eye is covered by a large fringe of hair. Because of Sucy's pastel mauve tone, seeming lack of arms (her arms are only visible when she moves them), and a uniform which is longer than usual, that is reaching to the ground, she gives off an eerie aura and a ghostly appearance.

   For pajamas, Sucy wears a white and red cap, paired with a white long-sleeved collared tunic that reaches past her feet. She is occasionally depicted without arms in this outfit, although her arms are usually exposed whenever she's wearing this attire.

   The early promotional poster of the original short film gives Sucy olive-green hair instead of puce, blue eyes, and a slightly darker skin tone. When introduced in the short films, Sucy is portrayed as an aloof, calm, sarcastic, and somewhat sadistic person. She also surprisingly remains indifferent in various situations and things that drive the other girls crazy, which shows that she is calmer than her roommates. The same goes to her anime iteration, although she appears to be somewhat more apathetic.

   As shown in "Sleeping Sucy" and other separate occasions in either continuities, it has been suggested that even with her own kind, Sucy was considered an eccentric freak; she had a clear preference on something which scared or at least disturbed other girls, such as the idea of getting eaten, foul-smelling fumes of potions or poisons, performing experiments with potions and poisons on Akko, and pulling scary pranks that she found amusing, less so for her victims. Hannah and Barbara also refer to her as "Creepy Sucy" when they were picking on Sucy, Akko and Lotte. However, contrary to their belief, Sucy is neither a complete freak nor a heartless anti-social girl, as she does care a lot for her friends in spite of having no qualms about using them as test subjects in her potion experiments, whether or not they give consent to it. In addition to this, her other hobbies are shown to include yoga and meditation. It is also hinted that the only strong emotional connection she had was with Akko, which explains why the memory of their first meeting is her most cherished one in "Sleeping Sucy". This was later confirmed in "Yesterday", where she went to the bridge when they first met when Akko went missing.

   Abilities and Equipment She has advanced knowledge of alchemy and is very skilled in creating potions. She has an uncanny interest in mushrooms and uses them in most of her recipes, usually deadly or poisonous ones. For a young witch, she has a vast knowledge of potions and poisons (including their effects) and is able to prepare poisonous potions that not only can kill its victims, but also is able to reduce said victims' bodies into caustic, liquid body mass. Some of her potions are even capable of causing explosions. She is also able to prepare fertilizer potions that accelerate the growth of vegetation, a potion that gives life to objects and a special Mandrake potion that temporarily increases magical power. She does all of this despite the fact that such potions are not allowed to be made at Luna Nova.

   The notable potions she has in her disposal are:

   Festering Potion Poison Gas Potion Experimental Poison Gas Bomb Puppet Magic Potion Nutrient Potion Frog Leg Potion Memory Alteration Potion Explosive Powder Pyro Booster Potion Ultra Super Energy Drink Potion Weapon-Wand Fusion Powder Cactus Nutrients In addition of her skills in potion brewing, Sucy is skilled in other forms of magical practices including broom flying, metamorphosis, Illusory[6][7], object control[6], and fusion magic. Like everyone in the Manbavaran family, she has developed immunity to poisons and toxins.

   Keys: Ursula Callistis

   Ursula is an adult woman with back-length dark blue hair tied with what appears to be bandages just before the end, forming a small ponytail over her right shoulder. She has red eyes with white pupils and fair skin complexion. She wears the default uniform of Luna Nova's staff: a dark violet hooded dress reaching up to her knees with long wide sleeves, a red flame-like design in the bottom, a single brown strap on the chest area, and the dress' inside is colored a deep red; a black choker; a dark violet witch hat with a dark blue band decorated with a red feather and a golden crescent-shaped object; dark blue knee-high boots with a deep dip and red tips; and black-framed oval glasses which usually obscure her eyes due to reflecting light, making their resemblance to Chariot's less obvious. She does not actually need her glasses, as first shown in "Blue Moon". She is notably younger than the other teachers and this shows in her appearance. This is not lost on them, as in "New Age Magic" they relegate to her the exhausting task of acquiring extra magical energy for the school, prompting Ursula to remark that "being young is suffering". Chariot left the stage and assumed new identity "Ursula Callistis" where she becomes astronomy teacher of Luna Nova. While never quite losing the spark she had in the past, the decade of becoming humble teacher and shadow of her former self takes its toll on her. Ursula had brief lapses of her self-reflection whenever reminded of her past life as before becoming a teacher, and become hopeless until she met Akko, her fan who brings her hope for redemption (as the young witch came to her life as new bearer of Shiny Rod). Her devotion to the young witch is the greatest illustration of compassion and selflessness, and her guidance also reveals a great wisdom beyond the dreamy idealism of her youth. Moreover, it was the bond between the two (coupled with her discovery of Woodward's role in her fallout with Croix) which led to her discovering what she lacked in her attempt to unlock the Final Word long ago and ultimately, becoming the hero her beloved student saw in her and to do the right thing, more than her own mentor can ever be. Towards the end of the series, Ursula continued to be the teacher of Luna Nova where this time, she embraced her true self by no longer magically altering her hair. In addition to magic, Ursula possesses an astonishing physical and acrobatic ability that is augmented by her magic. She can execute kicks that can break stones, knock over large statues and run on walls. She can also push back a monstrous version of the Noir Rod and survive falls from the midst of Wagandea albeit severely injured as a result. However, it is also implied that Ursula also had trained her body to peak level of human conditioning as over the course of her fight against Noir Rod's monster form, she was shown able to brush off otherwise crippling injuries, leaping to considerable height, and severely crippled the magitronic monster, all of which performed without magic.

   Shiny Rod Primarily used before she became known as Ursula, it is a powerful magical artifact that may very well the embodiment of the power of seven stars that make up Big Dipper itself and responds to the heart of its owner. She can transform it into a broom, as well as into a bow, and create an arrow from thin air with the Seven Words of Arcturus. It can also increase the power of spells when used.

   She stopped wielding the Shiny Rod when she caused a disaster in her magic show, damaging the moon's surface with the Shiny Arc and taking away the magic of her audience, which caused the Shiny Rod to wither away in her hands. Akko Kagari had the Shiny Rod after her, but just like with Ursula, it faded away, though in the former's case, the staff returned to the stars where it came from.

   Broom She has a straw broom with a crescent moon-like design in one end. She would use it to fly until she lost the ability to in "Wagandea".

   Keys: Shiny Chariot

   As Chariot, her hair was shorter and had a red tone similar to her eyes. Her hair was parted to the middle so as not to fall over her eyes, but part of it fell between her right eye. She also had bangs framing the sides of her face and curving in, with neck-length hair curving out on the back of her head. In her costume as Shiny Chariot, she wore a white stylized tailcoat vest with long sleeves secured by four blue buttons holding everything together which doesn't cover her armpits, clavicles, cleavage, and navel, giving it a similar appearance to a corset or vest; a blue skirt; a brown body-belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle; blue thigh-high stockings (which appear to be folded over themselves); white boots with a diamond-like shape in the tip, two parallel buttons right under it, along with a red tip and heels; a white witch hat with a blue hatband and a red-and-blue diamond/spade-like symbol with a golden four-pointed star in the middle; and also a red cape with a brown strap and golden buttons. From her early childhood, Chariot sought to become a witch who could make people smile.[7][8] Her natural charm and radiant personality attracted everyone around her. However, Chariot's passion for magic exceeded her skill, which led to many blunders. Her faithfulness to her belief that magic should be used to make people happy brought her the staff of seven stars, Claiomh Solais, which she nicknamed the Shiny Rod. In her frustrations, she sought out the Fountain of Polaris, which grants the great magic power of the stars onto the witch with a hidden radiance. The Fountain opened for her but did not bestow the power upon her, as she was not yet worthy to wield it. She started to work harder and took her studies more seriously, eventually earning the power of the stars for her determination and dedication. Chariot became a very powerful witch, easily awakening the first six words of Arcturus. She never sought for power for its own sake, wanting nothing but to use her power to benefit others. When she performs, both as a child and as Shiny Chariot, her passion for magic is unmistakable. While there is never a time she does not enjoy what she does, Chariot is highly attuned to the reactions of her audience and is devastated when her magic does not make them smile. This did not become an issue until she became a magic idol and the public's expectations of her grew ever higher. Ultimately it was the pressure to please them which led to her downfall.

   After this, Chariot left the stage and assumed new identity "Ursula Callistis" where she becomes astronomy teacher of Luna Nova. While never quite losing the spark she had in the past, the decade of becoming humble teacher and shadow of her former self takes its toll on her. Ursula had brief lapses of her self-reflection whenever reminded of her past life as before becoming a teacher, and become hopeless until she met Akko, her fan who brings her hope for redemption (as the young witch came to her life as new bearer of Shiny Rod). Her devotion to the young witch is the greatest illustration of compassion and selflessness, and her guidance also reveals a great wisdom beyond the dreamy idealism of her youth.

Towards the end of the series, Ursula continued to be the teacher of Luna Nova where this time, she embraced her true self by no longer magically altering her hair.

   Keys: Anne Finnelan

   Finnelan is a middle-aged woman with brown hair tied into a bun with two fringes falling at the front, blue eyes, and pale skin complexion. She wears the standard Luna Nova teacher uniform with two feathers on her hat. Personality Finnelan is a serious and authoritative woman, demanding respect and discipline from students.[1]. She seemed to have a preference for skilled students like Diana as she is usually kind to them. She is usually calm, but is quick to lose her temper, particularly when dealing with incompetent students and troublemakers such as Akko and company.

   Unlike other teachers, she respects the most formal style of witchcraft. She is very disgusted with bad manners and always does everything to preserve the prestige of Luna Nova Academy.[1]. Said respect and dedication to preserve the academy's prestige, however, made her rigid and unwilling to compromise when it comes to dealing with crisises that threatened the academy if available solutions to solve it greatly affect both the academy's prestige, tradition, and witchcraft it taught to its students (such as Vajarois' constant sorrow where Akko believes that simply appeasing the tortured soul will only torment her further and the spirits' strike for extra magic output that instigated the energy crisis). She believes all witches should be formal, collected, and act seriously, and has a bias against magically untalented students and those who have a technological approach in dealing magic, which give her a highly predictable personality. Finnelan's respect on the rules of both magic and the academy made her unwilling to bend it under any circumstances nor willing to tolerate others to do the same. Unfortunately, while this gave her better strengths than her fellow teacher Ursula, Finnelan's single-minded adherence to the laws of both magic and Luna Nova and dedication to preserve the prestige of the academy narrowed her perspectives and made her unable to see tenacity and determination within untalented students that allowed them to success in the end (which Ursula ultimately called her out for), and easily angered with Akko and Ursula's clumsy front on separate occasions.

   Despite her aforementioned faults, Finnelan is not without any likable qualities. It's revealed in Keisuke Satō manga that after the events of "Orange Submariner", she learned not to let her personal bias and perspective cloud her judgement. When confronting Amanda, Akko, Lotte, and Sucy about the stolen answer sheet in their hands, she takes her time analyzing circumstances revolving the case thoroughly instead of yelling at their faces as expected, knowing security systems placed to protect other sheets cannot be easily breached and impressed by the Irish American's noble decision to confess her mistake[5]. On a related note, she is also shown smiling proudly upon seeing Akko managed to levitate on her broom for the first time with her own power during "Tree of Leaves", showing that her faith in the Japanese's prowess has since improved. Though mostly motivated by her disdain in mixing technology and magic, Finnelan's suspicion regarding Croix and her magitronics proved to be correct as the Modern Magic teacher had ulterior motives in mind. Overall, while she's not one of kindest professors in Luna Nova, Finnelan is still a respectable and exemplary figure in her own way.

   Abilities and Equipment Finnelan is a skilled and experienced witch, recognized as one of the best teachers at Luna Nova Academy, assigned to teach both Magic Linguistics (specifically Luna Alphabet) and Object Control Magic[6]. Demonstrated enough ability to use a spell as advanced and complicated as Luna Lana. She is able to create sturdy and protective magical barriers, has great ability in controlling objects, enough to impart it in Luna Nova, and like other teachers, can project images and scenes in thin air.

   Also, being the teacher of Magic Linguistics, is knowledgeable of many magical languages, including the ancient Luna Alphabet.

   Keys: Croix Meridies

   Croix is a rather sharp faced young woman of tall stature with a pale skin complexion. Her eyes are a greenish shade of teal. She paints her eyelids with pink eyeshadow. Her short, lavander hair has a wavy hairstyle, with a lock that usually covers her left eye.

   She wears a red, gray and white suit that covers most of her body, with a lapel that reaches the height of her ears. She has a brown leather saddlebag. In the same colors as her suit, she also wears a large red cape and high-heeled boots. Sometimes she wears purple-rimmed sunglasses.

   As a student, Croix's hair was significantly longer and she wore eyeglasses, in somewhat of an inversion of Chariot's (whose hair was originally short and later started wearing glasses) disguise as Ursula. She also usually wore sweatshirts. Unlike Chariot, however, Croix kept her original hair color.

   After the Noir Rod missile was destroyed, Croix left her hair down, similar to how it was when she was younger. She started wearing a taupe full-sleeved shirt, brown pants, and a tan cloak with burgundy stripes worn over her shirt. Under the taupe, she wears a plain black shirt. She also no longer paints her eyes with eyeshadow. In this sense, she looks very plain and removed from magic in its entirety.

   Personality In her youth, Croix was a timid and reserved child who was known as a prodigy for her academic excellence. She also used to be a kind and considerate friend of Chariot du Nord, the charming and talented witch with poor proficiency in academics and a tendency to make blunders. Beneath this exterior, Croix held a great dream to become the world's greatest witch that would result in her being chosen by Claiomh Solais' power so that she could obtain the World Reconstruction Magic. Therefore, her efforts in her studies were singularly focused on it.

   Croix changed upon seeing the power choose Chariot instead. She then rejected Chariot, becoming bitter, selfish, cold and calculating as her biggest dream ended up in her best friend's hands against her wishes. Although she initially set aside her resentments, Croix could never shake the envy towards Chariot, especially upon seeing her not taking her quest for the Seven Words of Arcturus seriously. The increasing frustration and envy ultimately caused her to forcefully play her role in her stead by bypassing the traditional ways of opening the Grand Triskellion, even if it meant she had to betray Chariot by tricking her to employ Dream Fuel Spirit on innocent audiences including young Akko and Diana as part of the said scheme.

   After her separation and eventual falling out with Chariot, Croix had delved so deeply into the darkness that she became a highly logical but deeply ruthless, vengeful, ambitious, and cold-hearted person who hid her worst traits underneath her charismatic and cool persona. She doesn't take the welfare of the many innocent people who become part of her "experiments" into account, and this has made her commit a number of fairly horrific deeds, such as nearly ruining the bonds between Akko and Chariot, harming innocent people, and coming close to sparking a potential all-out war between England and its rival nation just to activate her Noir Rod; all of which she did without any signs of hesitation or remorse; she didn't even hesitate to kill or at least demoralize those who stood in her way either.

   Despite how different her adult personality seemed, traces of goodness within Croix's heart still remained. Even with how far she had fallen, in "Wagandea", Croix was shown genuinely panicking when her robots made Chariot fall unconscious on her broom and nearly plummet to her death, and Croix's cries to awaken Chariot saved her life and let her chase Akko while her Magitronics were ready to fight again. Also, in "The Road to Arcturus", when Woodward confronted Croix after she broke the seal of Grand Triskellion and found that what she sought for is not what she wanted, Croix unleashed her anger and called Woodward out for what went wrong in the past and not helping her cope with the Shiny Rod's rejection. After this, Chariot helped save Croix's life from her own beast, even though Croix wanted Chariot to save herself and let her die by it's hands.

   Croix can remain uncannily cool under pressure no matter the situation. She also proves to be a very intelligent strategist as well as an expert manipulator who meticulously devises many safeguards and people to ensure that things go in the direction she wants them to. Even when it seems things might not go quite how she's planned, she is confident that even Chariot is powerless to stop her nefarious plot to obtain the magic of the Grand Triskellion. True to this, she pioneered in the field of Magitronics, having surveyed Akko for months before revealing herself. Croix was also responsible for planning the fairy staffs' strike as she infiltrated Luna Nova by posing as a new teacher, lulling all of the campus' inhabitants into a false sense of security, commencing the chaos at Appleton Academy so she could take a sample of the rage-based Fuel Spirit from one of the witch-hating students there to confirm whether anger produces more power by being processed into the Fuel Spirit, she instigated attacks during the Wild Hunt, attempting to murder by exposing Akko to Wagandea pollen, and harvested anger from the strike over the soccer verdict. However, her inability to see possible flaws in her plan in harvesting anger-based Fuel Spirit energy and fathom that things she sought might not end up like what she wanted ultimately caused the witch's undoing.

   Towards the end of the series, Croix, having comes full circle from being the first person to espouse the importance of believing in one's magic to being reminded firsthand of why such sentiment was correct all along, eventually reverted to her original kind and considerate self, promising to Chariot to find the way to break Wagandea's curse as the first step of her atonement. Abilities and Equipment As Anne Finnelan bitterly acknowledged in Chariot of Fire, Croix is a highly talented witch and prodigy who also a maverick in the eyes of traditionalistic magic users not unlike her best friend Chariot du Nord. In this case, her advanced knowledge over technology and magic which allowed her to develop several mechanical inventions through merging both concepts into a technique called "Magitronics". Her testament with Magitronics best displayed when she often using them to perform magical feats through specialized tablet or smartphone in her disposal, such as allowing her to fight on equal terms against Chariot in "The Road to Arcturus" to get around the fact her overall magical power pales in comparison of the latter at best, healing a dying faery with Fuel Spirit injection back to its prime condition, and even hacking electronics.[6][7] Her traditional uses of magic on the other hand, include the creation of powerful sentinel statues guarding her lab, endowing blessed robes for protection, and memory erasure of a large group of people. It's worth to mention that she's one of best broom flyers in her time, being among one of past winners of Luna Nova Cup.[6]

   Sorcery Units One of Croix's inventions is a roomba-like magitronic device called Sorcery Unit, which she described as "evolved" Magic Broom.

She wears the standard uniform of Luna Nova's teachers along with a pair of pilot's goggles, an aviator's cap under her brimless witch hat, a green scarf, a pair of gloves and a parachute on her back.

    Keys: Barbara Parker

    is a student of the Luna Nova Magical Academy. She often accompanies Diana Cavendish and acts as her loyal friend and assistant, along with Hannah. Appearance Barbara is a girl of average stature. She has completely straight and waist-length black hair, teal eyes. Her eyelashes are highlighted in the lower part of her eyes and her eyebrows are a bit as thick as Hannah's.

    Her Luna Nova Academy standard uniform consists of a dark blue skirt and vest with two buttons in the center of the same color but darker, a white long-sleeved shirt with dark blue cufflinks and a dark blue tie underneath, along with a normal blue belt. She wears long socks of the same color as the vest and dark brown loafers with darker soles. Personality As with Hannah, Barbara is shown to be a bully who takes delight in picking on non-magical and weaker witches, but fortunately not sadistic enough to violently abuse them. Both of them equally antagonistic to Akko and her friends, due to her incompetence with magic and her academic level in Luna Nova, in addition to being a friend of Diana, who also does not have a good relationship with her. As a result of their attitude, in "Don't Stop Me Now", she and Hannah help Akko negatively in the broom race by transforming theirs into shoddy carts to participate, since Akko could not fly with hers.

    Not surprisingly, as with other bullies in general, she and Hannah have a fearful side beneath aforementioned bad qualities. In the first short film, the two show too much fear to the monsters or dangerous places to which Diana takes them, who thinks that they should give fear and not the other way around. Similarly, in "What You Will", they reduced into cowering messes upon being informed by Akko (who involuntarily assumed Diana's likeness because of Woodward's machinations at the time) that they were afflicted with ageing curse.

    Despite this, while she and Hannah started off as sycophants towards Diana, the two gradually view the Cavendish as a genuine friend. This becomes evident in "Cavendish" as they left devastated when Diana finally left the academy. After the events of "Intelligence and Sensibility", Hannah and Barbara thank Akko for helping Diana return to Luna Nova Academy, something they admit that not even they could accomplish.

    Also, like Lotte, she is a fan of the Night Fall novels, although she's afraid of admitting it, as Hannah dislikes them. However, during the epilogue of Tree of Leaves, Barbara is seen openly reading and talking with Lotte about Night Fall, showing she's no longer afraid of admitting she's a fan of the novels.

    Abilities and Equipment Barbara, like all witches in the academy, has her own magic wand and magic broom.

She has short bright orange hair which can appear blonde at different lightings secured by a navy-blue headband and turquoise blue eyes. She has pale skin complexion, with freckles on her cheeks and nasal bridge. She wears semi-rimless eyeglasses with mauve frames and large, round lenses with a strong prescription that magnifies her eyes. Her standard Luna Nova Magical Academy uniform is personalized with a red belt and a red band on her hat. When not in her Luna Nova uniform, she wears a blue headband. Personality Lotte is shy, calm and timid, rarely ever getting angry. She is a kind-hearted girl who earnestly looks after Akko. Lotte is often concerned about Akko, given that her determination to become a witch like Shiny Chariot sometimes makes her go too far, and that she would forget the well-being of friends and people who wish to help her.

    There are occasions when she does get angry. In The Enchanted Parade, her patience in aiding Akko was eventually tested when the latter accidentally rips up the sheet music to Lotte's ancestral song. Lotte became upset to the point of becoming sullen and even colder than she normally was, as Sucy pointed out. She stops talking with Akko for some time because of how she is upset at her. Nevertheless, she still considered Akko as her friend and supported her determination to become a witch like Shiny Chariot despite said witch's poor reputation, as seen when she forgave Akko by giving her a handmade replica of Shiny Chariot's hat. In anime series "Samhain Magic" on the other hand, she stands up for both herself and her roommates (Akko in particular) when Diana and her team belittle the three friends for Akko's sudden disappearance before the beginning of the festival. At such instance, Lotte fiercely defends her friend's absence and berates the group for continuously harassing them due to small situations like these, leaving those present shocked at the change of her once quiet persona.

    Despite her usually timid and innocent demeanor, Lotte can take on extremely determined and focused attitude when the situation calls for it. In Teri Terio manga, when Akko was devoured by a Giant Fish at a lake near Luna Nova, she immediately takes action in saving her friend by calling forth faeries within a sunken pirate ship within and have them firing its cannon on the beast, saving Akko and killed the beast at the same time. Even Sucy was unable to help but surprised by this sudden bout of courage in her soft-spoken roommate.

    Lotte has shown to be a big fan of Night Fall, a trait she shares with Barbara Parker and Samantha Badcock.

    Abilities and Equipment As a witch-in-training, Lotte possesses standard skills in magic including Flight Magic (flying with use of riding magic broom via Flying Spell) and Metamorphosis Magic, be it turning herself or others into animal forms or transmogrifying clothes that she wear as well as that of others into any other type of clothing she desired as well as enchanted them.

    Lotte's most impressive talent, however, is her ability to invoke and contact spirits within old objects as well as understanding faeries, something which expected from born into a family of spiritual magic users.[6][7] While most of the witches perform the said magic through traditional means, she mostly utilizes a song from her hometown taught by her grandmother which allow her to perform the same feat without the need for direct magic.[6] Said song also potent enough to calm hundreds of angry faeries as shown in The Enchanted Parade. In addition of gaining information and having the faeries/spirits in question performing tasks on her behalf, Lotte also capable of synchronizing her magic with that of at least one participating faery/spirit in order to access more powerful spells such as manipulating plants within her vicinity, conjuring twin magic circles that emanate powerful healing field, and forming a purifying field in large radius that cleanse her surroundings of impurities and damage any hostile enemies who attempted to harm her with chance of inducing them in deep sleep with the participating faerie/spirit as the field's conduit.

    Crystal Ball Lotte owns a crystal ball that allows her to communicate with other people as well as accessing WitchNet, magic community's equivalent to Internet. Most notably, she uses it to chat with her fellow Night Fall fans and monitor various ridiculous comments made by the series' biased haters.

    Keys: Luna Nova Magical Academy

    The Luna Nova Magical Academy is a renowned school dedicated to teaching young witches the art of magic. Initially, only witches from magical families were admitted, but due to economic difficulties, it was decided to also allow the entrance to witches without magical inheritance. The students are divided into teams of three, giving each team the same room along with a hatband and sash of the same color for their uniform. These groups subsequently work together in the group lessons. Since the use of magic today is required for national qualifications, Luna Nova has various specialized subjects to acquire said qualifications, and after graduation, it offers various jobs that can use magic.[2][3]

    The academy is located above a Ley Line argued by Alfred Watkins, called the St. Michael's Ley Line[4] and the school has its own Ley Line Terminal that facilitates the entrance and exit of the school through the Ley Line to the town of Glastonbury. The campus consists of the main hall, which is a large castle located next to the New Moon Tower, where the Sorcerer's Stone is located, which absorbs the magical energy of the Ley Line and allows students and teachers to use their magic freely. Under the tower is a deep labyrinth where treasures and monsters are stored and under its chapel is the entrance to the Blue Moon Abyss. Croix's laboratory was later established in the tower. The outskirts of Luna Nova are surrounded by the Arcturus Forest and mountains.[5][6][4]

    In addition to dormitories and classrooms, the campus features sands for sports and flying broom practices, a clock tower, a large lake, a botanical garden, a courtyard, a library, a cafeteria, an auditorium, an observation tower, an aviary, and a pet graveyard. There is also the entrance to the Fountain of Polaris, inside the north building.[7] The Luna Nova's Reference Archives are in an external section and a special permit is required for access.[8]

This is where young witches' skills and abilities being put into a test as they must retrieve treasures stored within and fighting creatures which infested the area along the way all under supervision of involved professors. Luna Nova Academy was founded in the 5th century by the great Nine Olde Witches and it has a history of about 1600 years. With the end of the Great Age of Magic, witches had lost their place in the world, but when the Nine Olde Witches managed to restore the glory of magic, they decided to create Luna Nova to return the witchcraft to its place of prestige. At its opening (year 420), there were around 100 students, which were guided by Woodward. The building was considered a masterpiece at that time. The Samhain Festival took place since the first year of opening.[10][11][5]

    Since its foundation, Luna Nova Academy had faced trials and tribulations which included its transition from being a smaller, humbler school to the prestigious magical institution for witches everyone known today. The Academy's early iteration, which built at Blytonbury, was forced to be closed due to the ongoing Witch Hunts in 1512 and burnt down at the height of such event which occured in 1800s, with few parts of it such as auditorium survived the destruction. After such unfortunate turn of events, efforts made by Jennifer The Witch and Woodward saw its restoration at Arcturus Forest and subsequent reopening in 1743 as the first step in the new era of magic — the Golden Age of Magic — in which Luna Nova lived an era of glory. Around that time, the rebuilt Academy expanded further, attaining 72 lecture halls and therefore able to accommodate up to 1000 students. Luna Nova also survived at least one major incident around that time in form of the rampage of Ghost Witch, the monstrous alter-ego of one of the students who unwisely tampered Time Magic sealed within Horologium Chamber and corrupted by Curse of Time in the process before being sealed away as part of the procedure to restore her back to normal. Though the aforementioned curse resulted everyone involved in the incident no longer remembered it, records pertaining Ghost Witch's rampage thankfully survived and subsequently held crucial role for Akko and co. to finish what their predecessors started in saving the same student.[10][5][12][13]

    In the present period of science and technology, witchcraft has ceased to be perceived as a practical art, and instead as a relic of the past doomed to obsolescence. Magic around the world continues to weaken, and the number of witches decreases more and more. This, of course, affected the school that it suffer economic difficulties to the point of it opened its door for first generation witches in recent years.[14][15] For a time, though, the academy managed to improve its condition upon the arrival of Croix Meridies who introduced Magitronics along with Modern Magic subject despite both opposition from traditionalistic professors and her own hidden agenda.[16][17] Fortunately, the school, along with witches and the rest of people of magical world, were saved from obsolescence thanks to the joint effort of Atsuko Kagari and her fellow New Nine Witches who harnessed the power of Grand Triskellion which, combined with humanity's believing hearts united to support the witches' success that became a new Yggdrasil, restoring the Cosmic Tree's infinite magic to the world.

    As revealed during the events of the anime, Luna Nova needs better standards more than it let on which can only be achieved through reconciling old and new ways of magic. In addition of gradually perceived Vajarois as mere instrument of Samhain Festival[18] and overlooked the importance of understanding Dragonese[19], senior members of Luna Nova faculty, particularly those from older, conservative magical families such as Anne Finnelan and Samantha Badcock, were too focused in preserving traditions to the point of overlooking both well-being of others and changes around them, unknowingly contributed to very crisis they attempted to solve[20]. Moreover, their low opinions on Shiny Chariot's use of magic and Croix's magitronics were motivated by genuine bias rather than justified; they failed to understand the fact that Chariot intended to inspire people from start despite her methods left much to be desired throughout her celebrity career (using magic as part of her shows despite more subtle, better appreciated means to achieve such goal were available) and Croix's inventions can improve their way of utilizing magic energy along with their life standards. As such, the day when Akko and co. revived the Cosmic Tree Yggdrasil along with its infinite magic in the planet was not only the moment when the academy was spared from both obsolescence and further economic difficulties, but also the chance to improve itself.

    Curriculum and Teachers The academy is run by the Headmistress Holbrooke, while the faculty is composed of many teachers, each dedicated to a specific subject. Regular teachers only take care of a single subject of their specialty field, while more experienced senior teachers tend to impart multiple subjects. Special classes are held to test students' learning, given by any teacher.

    The course in the academy is composed of three years of three semesters each, in each one the students must attend a series of obligatory subjects and optional subjects. Normally, students need to take 7 subjects per year, 5 obligatory and 2 optional, but students who took and pass 10 subjects in a total of 5 obligatory and 5 optional, can obtain scholarships and become special students.[2][21][22] The evaluation method consists of theoretical and practical exams, being evaluated by notes ranging from A+ to the highest to D- as the lowest.

As the craft was only shown briefly in Orange Submariner, the information about it is limited until this point.

    As demonstrated by Constanze, the known basic alchemy technique taught at Luna Nova is matter transmutation. Although such technique has similarities with that of Metamorphosis Magic (notably turning a target object into another) and even follows similar principles, matter transmutation is much more difficult to perform due to restrictions which referred as the Law of Equivalent Exchange: Any form the target object is turned into must have equal mass and shares same basic makeup and properties with those of its original state, restrictions which Metamorphosis Magic bypasses through utilized magic energy which either increases or reduces the mass of the target as well as completely altering its properties and basic makeup in accordance of the form the user wishes to at varying degree. Moreover, matter transmutation appears to require greater understanding of the fundamental structure of the target object than Metamorphosis Magic does (which includes the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within) given than object transformations via. latter technique is much easier to reverse, if not outright temporary. As such, the use of alchemy, even its basics, is arguably restricted on altering inanimate matter.

    This subject is optional for first and second years.

    Modern Magic A newly added subject dedicated to teaching the "future" of magic, mainly regarding the use of Magitronics, which combines magic and technology. Students make use of digital devices such as tablets, which were originally prohibited in the academy. The class is taught by Croix.

The professor of this class is an unnamed history teacher as confirmed in the first short, though in anime series the role is shared, if not taken over, by Finnelan.

    Fundamentals of Magic Pharmaceutics This subject is applied to teaching about the preparation of potions, from how and what ingredients to use until the fundamental mechanisms for their preparation. The professor of this class is Lukić.

    Magic Numerology Magic Numerology is the study of the hidden meaning of numbers as a form of understanding the foundations of sorcery and divination. The professor of this class is also Badcock.

    Magic Law This class applies to imparting the institutionalized laws and norms that every witch must obey, mainly with respect to the prohibited uses of magic. The professor of this class is also Lukić.

    Culinary Magic This is a subject dedicated to teaching the use of magic for culinary purposes, more than often involving the spell categorized into the namesake magic type. The professor of this class is also Badcock.

    Physical Education Programs In the same vein with mundane boarding schools, Luna Nova includes a couple of physical sports such as running [34], stretching, and volleyball (which seemed to be sparsely conducted compared to the rest given to faeries' unfamiliarity with it)[35]. This curriculum was included so as to hone its students' physical fitness thus allowing them to better handle the strain from performing certain magic such as Body Strengthening Magic and in lesser extent, Flight Magic.

    School Life Any witch from 13 to 16 years old is eligible to enter the academy. After receiving a letter of acceptance and a guide to the academy, students must present themselves at the entrance ceremony in a timely manner.[21]

    The course in the academy begins in May ending in July the first semester. After the summer holidays in August, the second semester starts in September and ends in the holidays in December. The third semester takes place in January, being in February the final exams. The course finishes in March, taking place in April the spring break, lasted two weeks between the end of March and April. Two half-term breaks are given at the end of the second month of the first two semesters and one at the end of the first month of the third.

    Classes start at 8:00 a.m., students have half an hour to prepare and one hour for breakfast. Morning classes last up to 70 minutes per subject, taking 4 to 5 subjects per day. The students have a break for lunch at noon, resuming classes at 1:30 p.m. The afternoon classes last up to 8 periods. Students with extracurricular activities or clubs attend them from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and study time at 7:30 p.m. The students must be asleep at 22:00 p.m.[36][37][38][39][40]

    Uniform Students in the academy wear two types of uniforms. The uniform used in regular classes consists of a white long-sleeved shirt, a navy blue vest, a tie of the same color and a skirt. It also has a ribbon sash situated at the waist where the students carry their magic wands. In practical classes and school functions, students wear a uniform consisting of a long navy blue hooded tunic-styled robe with a hidden pocket in each sleeve, a pointed hat, stockings, and long boots along with the same ribbon sash. Each student's sash and band on their pointy boots and hat are colored in accordance to the group of three they belong to. When they are out of school, students wear a buttoned jacket covered with a cape. Although uniformity among students is essential, diverse hairstyle and accessory among them as expected from their age seemed to be tolerable.[37][41][42]

    The teachers wear a uniform consisting in a dark violet hooded dress reaching to her knees with long wide sleeves, a red flame-like design in the bottom, a brown belt, knee boots with a deep dip and red tips and a dark purple witch hat with a a golden crescent-shaped object and decorated with feathers hose quantity varies according to the rank that has said professor (the headmaster has three, senior teachers have two and the rest have one).[43][44][45] Much like students themselves, the professors are allowed to customize their appearance to some degree, in some cases provide hint to their country of origin.[46][47]

    Luna Nova Clubs As with other boarding schools mundane and magical alike, Luna Nova has established its own academy clubs. Its notable clubs are Luna Nova News Network dedicated to cover all the important news and events in Luna Nova and publish them in the school newspaper, Pixie Cut Power that consisted of short-haired students, and a number of fan clubs dedicated for its latest top student Diana Cavendish, which may very well unofficial unlike the former two.[48]
