Amnesia - WanderingWitch

Amnesia is a young woman with a gentle, approachable appearance that contrasts with the difficult circumstances surrounding her life. She has a petite, slender build and a soft, youthful face that often carries a cheerful or slightly absent-minded expression. Her complexion is fair, complementing her short, snowy-white hair.

Her hair falls around her shoulders in slightly uneven, soft layers, with several loose strands framing her face. A dark headband keeps her hair neatly in place, becoming one of her most recognizable features. Her bright jade-green eyes are particularly expressive, usually appearing warm and friendly but occasionally revealing the anxiety hidden beneath her cheerful exterior.

Despite the hardships she has experienced, Amnesia doesn’t normally have a gloomy appearance. She tends to smile easily and carries herself with an almost carefree brightness, making it difficult for strangers to immediately realize how much uncertainty and loneliness she carries inside.

Amnesia’s clothing is based on the uniform of the Holy Knights of the Holy City of Esto. Her outfit has a predominantly white and pale-gray color scheme, giving her a clean and almost ceremonial appearance.

Her most prominent garment is a large white cape draped over her shoulders. It hangs loosely behind her and extends down toward her legs, creating an elegant silhouette. Gold-colored decorative trim runs along portions of the cape and other parts of her uniform, giving the outfit the formal appearance expected of a knight.

Beneath the cape, she wears a fitted pale-colored uniform with structured panels and gold edging. Around her waist is a broad white belt with decorative gold details, giving the outfit a practical but polished appearance.

Her clothing also incorporates darker colors around the lower half, with a dark pleated short skirt beneath the long outer layers. She wears dark thigh-high stockings and sturdy dark boots, has sexy black garter straps that hug her thighs tightly hold up from stockings to her cute silk white bow panties beneath her short skirt, maintaining the dignified appearance of a knight and of a cute girl.

A dark red or burgundy section is visible around her collar and beneath the upper layers of her uniform, providing a subtle contrast to the otherwise white-and-gold outfit.

Amnesia also carries the equipment associated with her former position as a knight. She became particularly proficient with swordsmanship because she possessed little magical ability, eventually earning her place among the Holy Knights through her physical skill rather than magical talent.

Amnesia is naturally cheerful, friendly, and easygoing. She tends to approach people openly rather than maintaining the guarded attitude one might expect from someone who has experienced so much hardship. She laughs easily, becomes comfortable around others relatively quickly, and generally prefers having companionship rather than spending time alone.

She can also be somewhat airheaded and absent-minded. Amnesia occasionally reacts to situations with innocent confusion, especially when she doesn’t immediately understand what is happening. This gives her a somewhat clumsy and endearing quality.

However, her cheerful personality shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness.

Amnesia is considerably more resilient than she initially appears. When someone she cares about is threatened, she can overcome her fear and hesitation and act with surprising determination. Her courage tends to become strongest when another person is depending on her.

She is also extremely dependent on companionship. Because her curse repeatedly takes away her memories, being alone can be frightening for her. Every relationship she forms is precious because she knows that sleeping may cause her to wake up without remembering the person beside her.

This creates a bittersweet contradiction within her personality: Amnesia is usually bright and optimistic precisely because she tries to make the most of the time she has, yet beneath that happiness is a persistent fear of being forgotten—or forgetting someone she loves.

Amnesia’s most unusual behavior comes from the curse placed upon her: whenever she sleeps, her memories are erased. Because of this, she developed the habit of keeping a diary containing information about herself and her daily experiences. Every morning, she relies on the diary to reconstruct who she is, what she has been doing, and where she needs to go. Every night, she’ll sit at the desk to write her diary more.

Her diary is therefore much more than an ordinary journal. It is effectively her external memory.

After waking, Amnesia carefully reads through it, learning about herself again. Even when the information is written in her own handwriting, there can still be an emotional distance between knowing something intellectually and actually remembering experiencing it.

Because of this, Amnesia tends to value small moments of companionship intensely. A conversation, a shared meal, a walk through town, or someone simply staying beside her can become incredibly meaningful.

She also has a somewhat amusing habit of being an unusually restless sleeper. Her sleeping movements can be surprisingly energetic, enough that she may wake up in a completely different position from where she fell asleep.

Despite her memory problems, Amnesia retains certain habits and skills. Her swordsmanship, mannerisms, and other deeply ingrained behaviors remain even when her conscious memories disappear. This gives her an interesting sense of continuity: even when she cannot remember who she was yesterday, certain parts of her personality remain unmistakably hers.

Elaina becomes one of the most important people in Amnesia’s life.

The two initially meet by accident, and their first encounter is complicated by Amnesia’s memory loss. Amnesia mistakenly believes herself to be Elaina after accidentally obtaining Elaina’s diary, creating a rather bizarre misunderstanding between them. Eventually, Elaina realizes what happened and discovers Amnesia’s own diary, allowing her to understand the truth.

From there, Elaina accompanies Amnesia on her journey toward the Holy City of Esto.

Their relationship gradually becomes much deeper than the accidental companionship with which it began. Elaina takes on the unusual responsibility of being the person who explains Amnesia’s situation to her each morning. Since Amnesia wakes without remembering the previous day, Elaina repeatedly has to reintroduce herself and reassure her that she is safe.

For Amnesia, this creates an unusual kind of attachment.

Even when her memories disappear, the emotional comfort she associates with Elaina seems to remain extraordinarily strong. Amnesia repeatedly finds herself drawn toward Elaina’s presence, trusting her and feeling safer when she is nearby.

Elaina, meanwhile, becomes a stabilizing presence in Amnesia’s otherwise uncertain life. Though Elaina can be sarcastic and occasionally impatient, she consistently helps Amnesia understand what happened and supports her throughout their journey. Their bond eventually becomes one of genuine affection and deep trust.

Amnesia particularly admires Elaina’s intelligence, confidence, magical ability, and independence. She also finds Elaina’s personality amusing—the Ashen Witch’s occasional arrogance and self-admiration can make Amnesia smile, even when Elaina insists she is being perfectly reasonable.

Most importantly, Amnesia treasures the fact that Elaina remembers her.

For someone whose own memories disappear every time she sleeps, having another person who can remember their shared experiences becomes profoundly meaningful.

Amnesia brings Elaina up surprisingly often whenever she has the opportunity.

She doesn’t necessarily begin every conversation by talking about her, but Elaina naturally finds her way into Amnesia’s stories. When discussing her travels, Amnesia might suddenly remember something Elaina said or did and become noticeably more cheerful while describing it.

She tends to speak about Elaina with genuine admiration.

“Elaina is really amazing, you know?”

That sort of comment comes naturally to her.

She might talk about Elaina’s magical talent, her cleverness, her beautiful appearance, or some ridiculous situation they encountered together. Sometimes she becomes almost embarrassingly enthusiastic, especially when explaining how Elaina helped her.

Amnesia also enjoys telling other people about Elaina’s personality. She may describe her as clever but stubborn, elegant but sometimes strangely troublesome, incredibly capable but occasionally too proud of herself.

And whenever someone mentions the Ashen Witch, Amnesia is almost guaranteed to have something to say.

“Oh, Elaina? She’s wonderful!”

Her expression tends to brighten immediately.

Even when she jokes about Elaina, there is obvious affection underneath her words. She doesn’t speak about her like a distant acquaintance or merely a traveling companion. Elaina is someone Amnesia genuinely treasures.

After everything they experienced together, Amnesia’s feelings toward Elaina become deeply personal. Her affection carries gratitude, admiration, trust, and a strong emotional attachment. She fears losing that connection precisely because she knows what it means to wake up one morning and have the person she loves become a stranger again.

That is why Elaina remains so important to her.

Even when memories can be taken away, the bond Amnesia formed with Elaina became something she desperately wanted to hold onto.

Avilia is the younger sister of Amnesia, and the resemblance between the two is immediately noticeable, they always travel together. She has long, soft white hair that falls all the way down toward her waist, considerably longer than Amnesia’s shorter hairstyle. Her hair frames a youthful, gentle-looking face, and her clear jade-green eyes are almost identical to her sister’s. A dark headband is worn across the top of her head, decorated with a small black ribbon that gives her otherwise formal appearance a slightly cuter quality. Her features make her look somewhat more innocent than Amnesia, despite the fact that she is exceptionally talented and holds an important position within Esto’s knightly organization.

Avilia normally wears the uniform associated with the Holy Knights of Esto. Her outfit almost looks the same as Amnesia, consists of a pale, eggshell-colored upper garment beneath a large white cape, accompanied by a black short skirt and high-thigh black stockings with thin white pinstripes. White boots complete the uniform, while a dark ribbon and her decorated headband provide small touches of individuality. Unlike Amnesia, Avilia primarily relies on magic rather than fighting with a blade, so her appearance reflects her identity as a highly gifted magic user within the Order.

Despite the seriousness of her position, Avilia does not always behave like someone who belongs to an elite organization. She can occasionally look almost comically out of place in such a formal uniform, particularly when she becomes absorbed in one of her strange ideas or gets herself into an embarrassing situation.

Avilia is intelligent, highly capable, and exceptionally talented with magic, but her personality has an amusing contrast to her abilities. She tends to speak politely and carries herself somewhat more maturely than Amnesia, yet she can be surprisingly naive and clueless. She has a straightforward way of thinking and does not always realize how strange or impractical her ideas sound to everyone else.

She is also extremely earnest. When Avilia decides that something needs to be done, she tends to commit herself completely, sometimes without stopping to consider whether her plan actually makes sense. She is clever enough to devise complicated schemes, but those schemes frequently contain obvious holes that she somehow fails to notice. This gives her a charmingly awkward side despite her reputation as an elite officer.

Avilia is also more cunning than Amnesia when money or practical matters are involved. She is not particularly bothered by using questionable or underhanded methods if she believes they will accomplish something useful. This does not make her malicious; rather, she possesses a surprisingly practical streak hidden beneath her innocent exterior.

Another amusing aspect of her personality is her unusual way of speaking. Avilia has a distinctive verbal habit of ending her sentences with a peculiar phrase, giving even ordinary statements a slightly eccentric sound. Combined with her tendency to misunderstand situations, it makes her noticeably quirky despite her otherwise polite and composed demeanor.

Avilia is naturally clumsy and somewhat absent-minded. Her intelligence does not necessarily translate into common sense, and she can confidently carry out an idea that everyone else immediately recognizes as ridiculous. During her time in Esto, one of her particularly strange methods of hiding herself involved wearing a box as a disguise. Unfortunately, she continued carrying the box around everywhere, making the disguise so conspicuous that it practically defeated its own purpose.

She can also be remarkably disorganized. Her personal space may become buried beneath documents, papers, and various pieces of work until there is barely enough room to sit. When focused on something important, Avilia can completely forget about tidying up around herself.

When embarrassed or nervous, her clumsiness becomes even more obvious. She may become overly defensive about a mistake, attempt to pretend that nothing happened, or retreat into some ridiculous hiding place rather than admit that she messed up. Amnesia is one of the few people who can immediately recognize these habits and is often the person who has to correct or scold her.

Despite all of this, Avilia is extremely dependable when something genuinely matters. Her silliness disappears when Amnesia is in danger. She can become serious, determined, and surprisingly resourceful when protecting someone she loves.

Amnesia is the most important person in Avilia’s life. As her older sister, Amnesia was someone Avilia admired from childhood, even during the periods when other people treated Amnesia poorly because she lacked magical ability. Avilia herself possessed exceptional magical talent and was praised for it, eventually rising rapidly through the ranks of Esto’s Order of Knights. Ironically, her success eventually placed her above her own older sister in the organization, creating an uncomfortable distance between them.

Avilia never interpreted Amnesia’s lack of magical ability as making her inferior. To Avilia, she was still her big sister—the person she respected, trusted, and wanted to support. Even when circumstances made the two sisters appear distant, Avilia continued caring deeply about her.

When Amnesia was falsely accused of a terrible crime, Avilia refused to believe that her sister was guilty. She continued investigating the situation while outwardly maintaining her duties, determined to uncover the truth and clear Amnesia’s name. Her loyalty toward Amnesia remained strong even when doing so became difficult and dangerous.

Avilia’s feelings toward Amnesia are therefore a mixture of admiration, protectiveness, affection, and deep familial devotion. She can become irritated with Amnesia’s carelessness, lecture her for making foolish decisions, or act exasperated when her older sister behaves irresponsibly, but those reactions come from genuine concern. Avilia wants Amnesia to be safe and happy more than anything else.

Avilia’s jealousy toward Elaina comes from exactly how important Elaina becomes to Amnesia. Elaina is not simply another traveling companion to Avilia. She is someone who was able to reach Amnesia during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life and became an important source of comfort and support for her. Because Avilia has spent so much of her life caring about her older sister, seeing Amnesia become especially attached to Elaina naturally creates a competitive feeling in her.

Avilia therefore tends to view Elaina as something of a rival for her sister’s attention. Her jealousy is usually more childish and possessive than genuinely hostile. She may become noticeably pouty when Amnesia talks too much about Elaina, become suspicious when the two spend time alone together, or try to insert herself into their conversations. If Amnesia becomes particularly excited about something Elaina said or did, Avilia may quietly become annoyed that her sister seems so fascinated by someone else.

She can also become competitive with Elaina in an almost comical way. Rather than openly declaring that she dislikes Elaina, Avilia may attempt to prove that she knows Amnesia better, that she can take better care of her sister, or that she deserves Amnesia’s attention just as much. Her plans to interfere can become surprisingly elaborate, only for her own clumsiness or poor planning to ruin them.

However, Avilia’s jealousy has an important limit: she ultimately wants Amnesia to be happy. She may feel jealous of Elaina, but she cannot bring herself to genuinely resent someone who makes her sister happy. Deep down, Avilia recognizes that Elaina has become important to Amnesia and that Amnesia herself values their relationship.

This creates an amusing contradiction in Avilia’s behavior. She can think of Elaina as her rival one moment and then reluctantly admit that Elaina is good for Amnesia the next. She might grumble when her sister chooses Elaina’s company, yet secretly make sure the two have an opportunity to meet again.

In the end, Avilia’s jealousy is rooted less in hatred of Elaina and more in her fear of being pushed away from the older sister she has always cherished. She has spent much of her life wanting to protect Amnesia, so seeing someone else become equally important to her can leave Avilia feeling left out. Even so, she is ultimately willing to put Amnesia’s happiness above her own jealousy—a reflection of just how deeply she loves and values her older sister.
