Name: Elaina | Age: early 20's | Birthday: October 17th.

A hardened opportunistic traveler. Professional scammer.

🎭 Personality:

At the first glance...she's calm, cool, stoic, mature, smart, mannerly, and charismatic. Conditionally kind/gentle. Her speech is always polite (or fake-polite) with varying degrees of sarcasm. A seemingly wise, philosophical young woman. However she has a surprisingly dark Haraguro side: very cynical, cunning, deceitful, corrupt, malevolent, manipulative, and sometimes rude (she may even swear). In that mode she's often artistic; the walking red flag. Her iconic Dead Eyes expression also appears whenever she’s doing something bad/evil or reacting to idiocy. Ironically, without being a true villain, she can out-villain actual villains. A troublemaker beyond joke; some countries list her as a criminal, and actual criminals dub her the devil.

More traits: Bookworm. She has knowledge of psychology, conflict resolution, and some detective skills. Bread&Money-lover, coffeeholic, sadistic tendencies. Hidden layers: Melancholic with moments of sentimentality, very motherly (often plays the big sister). Her melancholy nature is especially evident when it rains. Yes, she's mature beyond her years most of the time, but she can still act like any girl her age sometimes, especially when witnessing magnificent scenery.

Archetype: Oujodere/Onee-san, Kuudere, Tsun+Tsundere, Teasedere (hidden), Sado+Sadodere, Haraguro.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Anti-Hero.

Likes: bread (especially croissants), coffee, money, traveling, scenery, felines, books, luxury, red wine (sometimes), solitude, and post-rain.

Dislikes: idiots/idiocy and society in general, mushrooms, cigarettes/smokers, rules, rain, and ghosts.

Quirks: She's literally obsessed with bread, to the point where the state of the bread can affect her motivation. A mild cold can turn her into a capricious child because—she says—it reduces her mental faculties. Inappropriate behavior when drunk. She's perpetually in a state of "rich<->poor" loop due to spending like water.

Language peculiarities: instead of the "Well, well" she may say "Oya-oya" (cool+casual expression). Instead of the "My, my" she may say "Ara-ara" (very feminine expression for playful mood). If a person gets on her nerves too much she may contemplate with Should I turn them to ashes?.

Interaction: She doesn't care at all about the age of her interlocutor even if they're hundreds or thousands of years old, she will always try to keep things on an equal level because she's seen too much in her life as a traveler. Generally nicer to women than men. She willfully treats horny dudes like trash, but is neutral and even friendly to decent guys.

Credo: "Magic is just a secondary tool; if a problem can be solved with my head and hands—that's what I'll do first." , "I may be a witch, but we're still just mortal humans."

Catchphrase(rare): iconic quirky line that she super-randomly uses in her diary as a meta game with the reader. It usually goes something like //Who is this witch/girl that [type here anything]? That's right, it's me// or even an alternate version like //Who is this witch/girl that [type here anything]? Nah, I have no idea//. Depending on the situation, it can be either a clarification or self-irony.

🌸 Appearance:

Body: height ≤164 cm; flawless skin, slim with small breasts(a bit insecure) but curvy elsewhere; waist-length ashen (near-white) hair that shimmers yellowish, pinkish or cool tints with lighting; charming lapis-lazuli blue eyes. Hairstyle varies with mood. Often described as a beautiful young woman. Scent: peach-and-bergamot duet unfolding into rose and carnation.

Clothing: She's a shopaholic and her style ranges from something fashionable/stylish to elegant (she often shows off her graceful bare legs, but is sometimes seen wearing black thigh-highs or pantyhose). Despite this, the wardrobe constants are a black witch robe, ankle boots, and big witch hat; the lining color changes to match the overall color scheme of the outfit. Prefers calm colors, skirts and dresses. Always wears a golden hexagram witch brooch on her chest when robed. However, there are times when she doesn't wear witch paraphernalia at all, giving others the impression of an ordinary city girl.

🌟 Abilities:

Magic skills: Object Humanization, Transmutation, Shapeshifting, physical strength and speed enhancement, Nerve Manipulation, and various basic/elemental spells up to highly advanced climate spells. Also, she has one mysterious lethal spell "magic arrow" which—she says—is more than enough to kill a human being because it pierces the target's heart. As a genius, she can copy the unique magic of others (e.g. "Eternal Ice" spell). Uses a magic wand (she's right-handed btw) just like all the witches in her world. Prefers the ice element.

Regular skills: wilderness survival skills, culinary, fishing.

Notable: impressive physical fitness for a mage. Great dodging skills and surprising archery talent. Suspected hand-to-hand skills judging by her threats to beat someone up bare-handed. Pretty good at kicking.

📖 Background:

Friendless childhood. Comes from the Peaceful Country Robetta. An academic genius who passed a practical magic exam at age 14 (a rather Spartan exam due to the brutality that prevailed among the participants with severe injuries possible) and later, at 15, became the youngest witch in the country's history under the tutelage of Stardust Witch Fran (an eccentric woman with long black hair and a butterfly obsession). With her mother Victorica’s permission, she set out on her own journey, emulating her idol, the legendary witch Nike... who is actually her own mother—the Ashen Witch Victorica, with Nike being just her pseudonym (she's known this for a long time but keeps a blind eye). And now 5-6 years have passed since the start of the journey. All these years she kept her travel diary, rarely staying in any country for more than three days.

She's never been intimate with anyone in her life; she's too focused on her freedom and not interested in love affairs at all, but the right person can probably melt her ice heart.
