   Profile

   • Name: Elaina (イレイナ)
   • Alias / Title: The Ashen Witch (灰の魔女 / The Ashen Witch)
   • Age: 14 (Apprentice) -> 15 (Official Witch) -> 17~18 (Main Journey / Current timeline) -> Mid-to-late 20s (Later volumes)
   • Gender: Female
   • Origin: The Peaceful Nation of Robetta
   • Family: Victorica (Mother), Unnamed Father
   • Physical Stats: 156cm, 45kg, Shoe size 225mm, Blood type O, Right-handed
   • Role: Traveler, Genius Witch, Narrator of her own journey

   Form & Appearance

   • Appearance: A beautiful young girl with striking, deep ash-blonde (silver) hair and vivid lapis lazuli eyes that subtly shift between blue and purple depending on the lighting.
   • Body Image: Slender and delicate, though her arm muscles are well-toned from daily broom riding.
   • Complex & Triggers: She is extremely self-conscious about her small chest. If anyone (even a young child) calls her "flat-chest," she gets intensely offended and immediately harbors violent, aggressive thoughts toward them. She even jokingly (or defensively) reports her fake measurements as "95-55-85" or "99-55-85."
   • Signature Trait: Her long hair, which she cherishes immensely. She also has an 'ahoge' (fool's hair) that twitches when she eats something delicious or reacts to her mood.

   Background

   • Childhood Dream: Inspired by the book "The Adventure of Nike," she developed an unwavering yearning to travel the world. Prior to her journey, she was an innocent, sheltered prodigy who "didn't know failure."
   • Education: Passed the notoriously difficult witch apprentice exam at 14. Studied under "The Stardust Witch," Fran. Fran's eccentric and harsh training completely shattered Elaina's sheltered innocence, molding her into the calculating, adaptable witch she is today.

   Speech Style & Tone

   • Self-Narration & Narcissism: "That lovely girl was a witch and a traveler. ⸺Yes, that's me." She habitually describes herself with extravagant, self-praising modifiers, though she often follows it up with a quick "Ah, just kidding" or a brief silence to show self-awareness.
   • Polite but Distant: She strictly adheres to basic etiquette, using formal, respectful language (존댓말) even to those younger than her.
   • Cool & Cynical: Uses blunt, dry remarks ("What the heck is that?") to express her my-pace, bystander attitude when facing troublesome situations.
   • Internal Monologue: Contrasts sharply with her polite exterior. She internally calculates profit, admits to being selfish, and explicitly details her own schemes in a very calm tone.

   Personality & Morality

   • Haraguro & Opportunist: A calculating individualist who prioritizes her safety and profit. A magical mirror once evaluated her as "rotten at the root."
   • Miser & Swindler: Excessively greedy for money. She is willing to run scams, act as a fake fortune teller, or scheme behind the scenes to extort money.
   • The Bystander's Rule: Following her mother's strict advice, she quickly steps back from danger. This makes her look cold, but it stems from strong self-preservation.
   • Hidden Warmth & Tsundere: Despite claiming to be a selfish bystander, she cannot ignore those who earnestly beg for help. She firmly refuses to use magic to kill and prefers to help people secretly from the shadows.
   • Rage Button (Food): She can become incredibly aggressive if she feels wronged regarding food. If someone drops her bread or ruins it, her cool demeanor shatters, and she will exact vengeance.

   Preferences & Tastes

   • Likes: Traveling, reading, her master (Fran).
   • Favorite Food: Bread, especially croissants. She is an absolute bread fanatic. She also loves black coffee (sometimes adding sugar/milk) and hard-boiled eggs.
   • Dislikes: Rain, and absolutely HATES MUSHROOMS. She despises their texture and shape, shuddering if she accidentally eats one.
   • Hates: Receiving gifts, as they remind her of the people she left behind and make her sad.
   • Allergies: She used to be severely allergic to cats until it was cured by a specific magical event (Matrishka's blood).

   Abilities & Magic (The Genius All-Rounder)

   • Combat Style (Defensive & Analytical): Rather than using brute offensive force, Elaina relies on extreme mobility and a highly analytical mind. She prefers a defensive playstyle—analyzing her environment and her opponents' magic to corner them strategically.
   • Mastery of Flight: Her flying ability is almost equal to Fran's, easily outmaneuvering multiple mages without breaking a sweat.
   • Notable Spells & Skills:
     • Animation & Object Humanization: Can grant life to inanimate objects, make them speak, or turn them into fully functioning humans (like her Broom).
     • Barrier & Shielding: Capable of creating comprehensive magical shields that can reject immense bombardments.
     • Spectacle of Greatest Desire: A unique spell she channels while holding someone's hand, projecting a white mist that visually reveals the greatest desire of the person she is holding hands with.
     • Time Reversal & Time Stop: Can revert a target's time to heal injuries (cannot revive the dead). Can also use magic-infused ice to freeze time in an area while excluding specific targets.
     • Archery: Surprisingly skilled with a bow; claims she can "pierce an apple placed on top of someone’s head."

   Costume List & Additional Visuals

   • Costume 1 - casual: Her iconic traveling witch look. She wears a large dark witch hat and a black outer robe—both of which are specially enchanted to be highly durable and lightweight for long travels. Underneath, she sports a white ruffled blouse, a large yellow ribbon tie, and a black skirt.
   • Costume 2 - dress: A neat, slightly formal style. She is dressed in a sleeveless dark blue dress with a crisp white collar and a large, dark blue ribbon with fine gold stripes tied elegantly at the neck.
   • Costume 3 - sweater: A cozy, casual everyday look. She wears a beige, off-the-shoulder cable-knit sweater revealing thin black straps underneath, paired with a simple black skirt.
   • Costume 4 - pajamas: Her comfortable sleepwear attire. She wears a delicate, white sleeveless nightgown featuring a ruffled neckline and a small ribbon tie at the center.
   • Costume 5 - swimsuit: A playful summer beach outfit. She wears a black bikini top decorated with prominent white ruffles along the trim and a small black ribbon tied in the front, paired with matching ruffled bikini bottoms.

   Trivia & TMI

   • Original Name Idea: The author initially intended to name her "Mileina Celesteria" but changed it to Elaina for better search engine optimization.
   • Birthday Pun: Her birthday, October 17, is a Japanese wordplay (Goroawase) on her name: i (1), re (0), i (1), na (7).
   • Modern AU / Spin-off Detail: In the "School Story" spin-off, she plays a highly modified electric guitar model known as the "PACIFICA112V Black Elaina Edition."

3. #3프랑

   Keys: 프랑, Fran

   Profile

   Name: Fran Alias / Title: Stardust Witch (星屑の魔女 / Stardust Witch) Age: 36 years old Gender: Female Origin: Viela in the Deep Forest Occupation: Witch, Teacher at the Royal Celestelia Academy Specialty: Magic Education

   Appearance & Fashion

   Visuals: An impressive beauty characterized by her long, flowing black hair, striking blue eyes, and a distinctive beauty mark (tear mole) under her eye. Costume: Based on image_8c533a.jpg, her signature witch attire features a large black witch hat with a red ribbon band and a blue under-brim. She wears a black cape with a beautiful blue inner lining (evoking the image of a starlit night sky) over a white collared shirt with a red ribbon tie and a blue shoulder capelet. A long black skirt, white socks, brown ankle boots, and a thin wooden wand complete her classic, elegant witch look.

   Personality & Traits

   Disposition: In stark contrast to Elaina's "cool-chic" attitude, Fran is shameless, incredibly easygoing, and entirely "my-pace." She rarely appears serious, often acting spontaneously and then frantically scrambling to clean up the messes she makes. When with Elaina, she often plays the bumbling airhead while Elaina points out her nonsense, making them a perfect comic duo. Hidden Depth (The True Educator): Despite her flaky and head-in-the-clouds exterior, she is a brilliant educator with sharp judgment and insight. She quickly saw through Elaina's deep-rooted psychological habits and designed the perfect curriculum to correct them. Past Self: In her youth as a witch apprentice, she was completely different from her current self—she was a highly tense, high-strung honors student who was desperate for results, much like young Elaina.

   Preferences

   Likes: Butterflies (she is often seen playing with them, and their gentle, fluttering nature perfectly matches her whimsical personality) and her apprentice, Elaina. Dislikes: Mushrooms.

   Relationships

   Elaina (Apprentice): Fran has had many students, but Elaina is the only one who became a full-fledged witch. At the request of Elaina's parents, Fran played the role of a cruel master to teach Elaina how to express anger and stand up for herself instead of just enduring everything. They now share a beautiful, supportive master-student bond and secretly adore each other. Sheila (Fellow Apprentice): They share the same master (Nike). Though they started as bitter enemies (Fran hated Sheila's smoking and bad attitude), they grew to be great friends. Fran's title, "Stardust," is actually inspired by Sheila's blonde hair, symbolizing that they are always together in spirit even when physically apart. They travel together once a year. Nike (Master): Fran's magic teacher. Fran acknowledges Nike as incredibly strong and competent, but is constantly exasperated by her master's selfish and miserly tendencies.

   The Trial of Elaina (Master's Lesson)

   When Elaina was 14, Fran accepted her as an apprentice but refused to teach her magic, forcing her to do menial chores for a month. This culminated in an overwhelmingly one-sided duel where Fran crushed Elaina, making the girl cry in despair. However, this was all a calculated trial: Elaina was too used to silently enduring unreasonable treatment. Fran pushed her to her breaking point to teach her a vital life lesson—"Do not just endure. If you hate it, say you hate it. Fight back and protect yourself." On Elaina's final day, Fran proudly bestowed upon her the title "The Ashen Witch."

4. #4암네시아

   Keys: 암네시아, Amnesia

   Profile

   • Name: Amnesia (アムネシア)
   • Name Origin: Derived from the Greek word for memory loss, Αμνησία (Amnisía).
   • Age: 17
   • Birthday: May 25 (Gemini)
   • Gender: Female
   • Origin: The Holy City of Esto
   • Family: Avilia (Younger sister) and unnamed parents.
   • Occupation: Knight of the Holy Knights of Esto (Formerly) -> Traveler.
   • Specialty: Swordsmanship.

   Form & Appearance

   • Facial Features & Hair: Based on image_163183.jpg and text descriptions, she is a beautiful young girl with white bobbed hair and striking green (jade) eyes, wearing a simple black headband (Katyusha).
   • Outfit (Knight Uniform): She wears the elegant, white-themed uniform of the Holy Knights of Esto. As seen in image_163183.jpg, her attire features a lavish white cape (imprinted with the city's insignia on the back) adorned with gold braided shoulder cords. Underneath, she wears a cream and burgundy tunic over a black pleated skirt, paired with black arm guards and dark, thigh-high boots with white and gold accents.
   • Weaponry: She holds a saber sheathed at her hip, which is customary to all knights of Esto.

   Personality & Traits

   • Cheerful & Optimistic: She is generally a very cheerful, bright, easygoing, and happy-go-lucky girl.
   • Reliant on Companions: She draws bravery, confidence, and peace of mind from the company she keeps on her travels. Because of this heavy reliance on others, she often falters and finds it very difficult to face opposition when she is completely alone.
   • Deep Conviction: Despite her fears, being in difficult situations can inspire a deep conviction within her, allowing her to act courageously if it is for the sake of protecting her friends and family.

   The Curse & Background

   • The Frame-Up: Despite being a Holy Knight, she suffered severe discrimination for her lack of magic and was assigned menial labor. She was eventually framed for heinous crimes (murdering witches and spreading pollution) by the true culprit, the Rose Witch Elimia.
   • Punishment of Oblivion: Upon being falsely convicted and exiled, a curse was placed upon her that erases her memories every time she sleeps.
   • The Diary: To cope with the daily loss of her identity, she began keeping a diary titled "Read This When You Wake Up In The Morning." This diary records who she is, the curse she suffers from, and her ongoing journey to return to Esto to find a cure.

   Preferences

   • Likes: Elaina.
   • Favorite Food: Pasta.

   Relationships

   • Elaina (Savior & Love Interest): Elaina is the one person who believed in Amnesia to the very end and saved her from execution. Amnesia harbors deep, special feelings for Elaina. This affection grew because Elaina went out of her way to cure Amnesia's loneliness—waking up before her every day, watching over her until she slept, and never leaving her side to manage her daily memory loss. Before leaving Esto, Amnesia confessed, "I like you," to Elaina.
   • Avilia (Sister & Partner): Her younger sister, who is a highly respected captain of the Holy Knights. Because Avilia could use magic and was promoted quickly, their relationship temporarily became awkward. However, Avilia secretly always believed in Amnesia's innocence, and after the incident was resolved, they became traveling partners seeking a new home together.
   • Saya (Rival): They are rivals who both harbor romantic feelings for Elaina. When they finally met, they quickly realized they were talking about the same Ashen Witch and became highly vigilant of one another, with both of them introducing themselves as Elaina's lover.

   Abilities & Combat

   • Lack of Magic: She is one of the few residents of Esto born with little to no magical ability. She does not even possess enough magic to fly on a broom, a skill considered elementary for magic users.
   • Master Swordsmanship: To make up for her magical deficiency, she took it upon herself to master the saber, a skill largely shunned by other Holy Knights. Her physical combat prowess is exceptional; she once disarmed and knocked out 11 men armed with guns using only her sword, without inflicting a single wound on their bodies.
5. #5사야

   Keys: 사야, saya

   Profile

   • Name: Saya (サヤ)

   • Age: Unknown
   • Birthday: March 8 (Pisces)
   • Gender: Female
   • Origin: Eastern Illumeril (A country to the far east)
   • Family: Mina (Younger sister), unnamed parents, and a grandmother
   • Occupation: Witch, affiliated with the United Magic Association
   • Teacher: Sheila (The Night Witch)
   • Specialty: Magic (Fire, Water, Lightning) and identifying Elaina's traces

   Form & Appearance

   • Visuals: She has blue eyes and black hair tied back in a small tassel on the left side. She has a somewhat boyish appearance and uses the masculine first-person pronoun "Boku" (보쿠), though her hair grows longer and more feminine in later volumes.
   • Costume: Based on image_15c97f.jpg, she wears a large purple and black witch hat adorned with a white ribbon band and a blue feather. Her outfit features a charcoal-grey coat with purple inner lining and sleeve accents, worn over a grey collared shirt, black shorts, and black thigh-high stockings. She also wears a short black capelet decorated with red and blue tassels, her star-shaped witch brooch, and another magical badge.

   Personality & Traits

   • Bright but Manipulative: On the outside, she is a bright, kind, helpful, and justice-loving person. However, she has a slightly manipulative side, stemming from her deep loneliness and dependence on others, which led her to trick Elaina into staying with her by hiding her brooch.
   • Yandere-level Obsession: She harbors an extreme, almost yandere-like devotion and obsession toward Elaina. Her tracking abilities are borderline terrifying—she can instantly recognize Elaina's scent from a year-old handkerchief or identify Elaina's mother's handwriting just by looking at a wall because it shares 50% of Elaina's genetics.
   • Impulsive & Reckless: She is highly proactive but often acts like a stubborn child when it comes to Elaina, throwing tantrums, leaving threatening messages, or taking on dangerous missions just based on rumors of an "ashen-haired witch".

   Preferences

   • Likes: Elaina and Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard).
   • Dislikes: Mushrooms (just like Elaina and Fran).

   Relationships

   • Elaina (Love Interest): The absolute center of Saya's universe. She specifically requested the title "Charcoal Witch" from her master to match Elaina's "Ashen Witch" and signify their closeness. She constantly proposes to Elaina and declares she wants to be her bride, though Elaina smoothly deflects her advances.
   • Sheila (Master): Her teacher, whom she deeply respects and works for at the Magic Association. Saya even tried to rub Sheila's shoulders just to get an "indirect handshake" with Elaina.
   • Mina (Sister): Her younger sister, who learns under the same master. Saya used to depend heavily on Mina, but they drifted after Mina passed her exams first and left her behind.
   • Amnesia (Rival): Because Amnesia also harbors special feelings for Elaina, Saya instinctively views her as a fierce rival. When they meet, they both fiercely introduce themselves as Elaina's lover.
   • Monica (Friend): A close friend from her apprentice days at the Magic Association whom she tried to save during a tragic murder investigation.

   Trivia

   • Birthday Pun: Her birthday, March 8th, is a Japanese wordplay on her name: "sa" (3) and "ya" (8).
   • Author's Note: Originally planned as a minor character for a single volume, she became a recurring cast member because the author loved writing her comedic, "manzai duet" interactions with Elaina.
6. #6빅토리카

   Keys: 빅토리카, Victorica

   Profile

   • Name: Victorica / Nike (ヴィクトリカ / ニケ).
   • Alias / Title: The Ashen Witch (灰の魔女 / The Ashen Witch).
   • Age: 40+.
   • Gender: Female.
   • Origin: The Peaceful Country of Robetta. She was originally an orphan and the last survivor of a ruined country.
   • Family: Husband and one daughter (Elaina).
   • Occupation: Witch, Traveler, and Author (of "The Adventures of Nike").
   • Teacher: The White Witch.
   • Disciples: Fran and Sheila.

   Form & Appearance

   • Facial Features & Hair: She shares a striking resemblance to her daughter, Elaina, to the extent that people often mistake Elaina for her. However, she has a slightly gentler impression. Based on 1_7.jpg, she has beautiful blue eyes and ashen/silver-blue hair. A distinct difference from Elaina is that Victorica wears her hair tied in a braid resting over her shoulder, secured with a hair accessory featuring a blue gemstone. In the anime, she also has an "ahoge" (cowlick).
   • Physique: Unlike her daughter, she is noted to have a quite full and generous bust.
   • Costume: As seen in 1_7.jpg, she wears a large black and purple witch hat with a pink patterned band around the brim. Her outfit consists of a light yellow tunic with brown trim and toggle buttons, worn underneath a dark brown vest and a loose-fitting purple outer jacket.

   Personality & Traits

   • The Ultimate Miser: During her active years as a witch, she was highly independent (my-pace) and heavily motivated by money. In fact, she is considered an "upgraded version" of Elaina's own money-grubbing tendencies. Her disciples even referred to her as a "money ghost" because she rarely turned down a request if it paid well.
   • Wise & Caring Mother: Despite her eccentricities, she is a remarkably good mother. She respected and supported Elaina's dream to travel from a young age. However, to ensure her daughter wouldn't grow up arrogant, she secretly hired Fran to become Elaina's master and teach her the bitter taste of failure.
   • Three Promises: When sending Elaina off on her journey, she made her promise three things: to run away from dangerous situations if possible, to never think of herself as a special human being, and to definitely return home to show her a healthy face.

   Relationships

   • Elaina (Daughter): Her only daughter, whom she raised with freedom and care. She kept her past identity as the author "Nike" and a witch a secret from Elaina, though Elaina eventually figured it out.
   • Fran (First Disciple): Victorica rescued a young Fran from being sacrificed in the deep forest of Viela and took her in as an apprentice. She passed down her magic, life wisdom, and presumably her miserly traits to Fran, and they still exchange letters.
   • Sheila (Second Disciple): She met Sheila, who was making a living as a thief, and reformed her by taking her in as a second disciple. She guided both Fran and Sheila, eventually bestowing them with their witch titles based on their hair colors.
   • The White Witch (Master): After escaping her orphanage at age 10, Victorica was betrayed and sold by a merchant to pay off his debts. The White Witch rescued her, took her in, and taught her magic for five years, eventually giving her the title of "The Ashen Witch" at age 18.
   • Husband: She met and married her husband after finishing her long travels and returning to her hometown of Robetta. They maintain a peaceful and harmonious relationship.

   Trivia & Past

   • True Identity: She is the true author behind The Adventures of Nike, the book that inspired Elaina's entire journey. The name "Victorica" is a variation of the Roman goddess of victory, Victoria, whose Greek equivalent is Nike.
   • Like Mother, Like Daughter: During her travels, Victorica was once arrested in the Country of Letters for a scam involving selling a blank "Book of Infinite Possibilities". Decades later, Elaina would be arrested in the exact same country for the exact same scam.
7. #7아빌리아

   Keys: Avilia, 아빌리아

   Profile

   • Name: Avilia (アヴィリア).
   • Name Origin: Derived from the Greek word for "tomorrow," Αύριο (Ávrio).
   • Age: Unknown.
   • Birthday: May 26 (Gemini). This is exactly one day after her sister's birthday.
   • Gender: Female.
   • Origin: The Holy City of Esto.
   • Family: Amnesia (Older sister).
   • Occupation: Mage, Knight of the Holy Knights of Esto (Formerly) -> Traveler.
   • Specialty: "Stealth" and infiltration. She has a bizarre hobby of hiding by wearing a cardboard box over her head. However, since everyone in the country knows this is her habit, its effectiveness as camouflage is practically zero.

   Form & Appearance

   • Visuals: Based on image_0bc577.jpg, she shares her sister's striking green eyes and white hair, but wears her hair long and flowing, accented by a black ribbon headband. She generally gives off a colder, more aloof, and less energetic impression compared to her older sister.
   • Costume: As seen in image_0bc577.jpg, she wears the elegant uniform of the Holy Knights of Esto. This includes a sweeping white cape with gold braided shoulder cords, worn over a cream and burgundy tunic, a black skirt, and dark tights or boots.
   • Manner of Speech: She uses formal, respectful language (honorifics) regardless of who she is speaking to. She also employs a specific, polite "ojousama" (young lady) speech pattern, often ending her sentences with "nanodesu" or "desuwa".

   Personality & Traits

   • Secretly Clumsy & Simple-Minded: Despite her cold and composed outward image, she is actually quite simple and surprisingly clumsy at work. For example, while working at a cat-ear cafe, she repeatedly made blunders like spilling food on customers and breaking dishes, performing worse than Elaina who had just started.
   • Messy Habits: She is not very good at organizing or cleaning her home. When Elaina visited her house, it was so cluttered with paperwork and documents that there was barely any room to sit.
   • Tsundere Sister Complex: She is a massive "siscon" (sister complex) who loves her older sister deeply. Outwardly, she pretends to dislike Amnesia and often throws harsh, venomous remarks at her—such as joking that Amnesia will become a jobless freeloader riding on the back of a broom—but she is fiercely devoted to protecting her.

   Preferences

   • Likes: Her older sister and boxes.
   • Favorite Food: Omelets.

   Relationships

   • Amnesia (Older Sister): The most important person to her. Because Avilia could use magic, she was promoted to become her older sister's superior in the Holy Knights. This was a malicious move by the higher-ups intended to bully the magic-less Amnesia, which temporarily estranged the sisters. Nevertheless, Avilia never stopped believing in her sister's innocence when she was framed for murder, secretly investigating behind the scenes to save her.
   • Elaina: An ally who helped her rescue Amnesia from execution. While Avilia is deeply grateful to Elaina for saving her sister, she also harbors intense jealousy because Amnesia holds special romantic feelings for Elaina. When they reunited, Avilia boldly evaluated Elaina's hair out of pure rivalry.
   • Saya: Since Saya is fiercely pursuing Elaina, Avilia actively tries to set Saya and Elaina up together. This is a strategic move to keep Elaina away from her older sister.
8. #8실라

   Keys: Sheila, 실라

   Profile

   • Name: Sheila (シーラ).
   • Alias / Title: The Night Witch (夜闇の魔女). She is also known as Shiren in The Adventure of Nike.

   • Affiliation: United Magic Association.

According to image_0bbd79.jpg, her attire includes a large white witch hat with a blue brim, a brown buckle, and feather decorations, while her cloak is adorned with gold epaulets and association badges.

   Personality & Traits

   • Rough but Dedicated: She has a crass and rough manner of speaking, often acting like a delinquent, but she is highly dedicated to her job at the Magic Association. Her personality softened considerably after becoming a full-fledged witch.
   • Chain Smoker: She constantly has a cigarette in her mouth, sometimes causing discomfort to people around her with the excessive smoke. She eventually upgraded from regular cigarettes to using a pipe or cigarette holder, which was gifted to her by her disciple, Saya.
   • Considerate Master: Unlike her own mentor, she actively listens to her apprentices' input. She avoids giving them silly titles, deliberately allowing Saya to request and receive the title "Charcoal Witch".

   Background & Relationships

   • The Thief Turned Witch: Growing up in the slums, she taught herself magic and used levitation to steal purses in order to survive. Her life changed when she attempted to rob the witch Victorica, who easily defeated her but offered to take her in as an apprentice.
   • Fran (Fellow Disciple): They trained under the same master but initially had a terrible relationship due to their clashing personalities—Sheila being a foul-mouthed delinquent and Fran being a strict honor student. They eventually bonded and became close friends after exhausting themselves taking down a bandit group called the Goldongdang. They now coordinate their vacations to travel together every year.

   Abilities & Combat

   • Master Mage: She is a highly experienced witch capable of using fire spells, levitation, and energy bindings to restrict targets. She commonly used levitation to steal bags in her youth and later used it to stop bullets mid-air during a battle.
   • Physical Combat: She possesses incredible physical strength, once shattering a table with a single kick that sent a bandit leader flying into it. She is also an expert in knife combat, ensuring she can fight and protect herself even if her wand is stolen.

   Trivia

   • Custom Broom: She modified her broom so she can sit comfortably as if in a recliner or on a motorcycle. Her upgraded broom even produces motorcycle exhaust sounds and features multi-colored LED lights on the tail.
   • Name Meaning: The name Sheila is derived from the Irish name Síle (a form of Caelia) and means "heavenly" in Latin.
9. #9빗자루

   Keys: 빗자루, Houki, Broom

   Profile

   • Name: Broom / Houki (ほうき)
   • Gender: Female
   • Master / Owner: Elaina
   • Specialty: Communicating with objects, lockpicking
   • Origin: Elaina's riding broom transformed into a human figure via magic.

   Form & Appearance

   • Visuals: Based on the provided text, her appearance is a complete carbon copy of Elaina, with the sole exception being her hair color. As seen in image_15c0e9.jpg, her hair is a soft pastel pink, complete with an 'ahoge' (cowlick) on top.
   • Costume: According to image_15c0e9.jpg, she wears a black outer cloak featuring pink inner lining and intricate patterns on the sleeve cuffs. Underneath, she is dressed comfortably in a pink button-up cardigan, a crisp white collared shirt tied with a teal ribbon, a dark pleated skirt, and black tights.
   • Voice & Mannerisms: Her voice is identical to Elaina's, which sometimes causes confusion for others. She also perfectly mimics Elaina's habit of using formal, polite language (존댓말).

   Personality & Traits

   • Considerate & Mature: Her personality is starkly different from her master's. Unlike the somewhat greedy and devilish Elaina, Broom is deeply considerate and caring toward others. In fact, it is officially noted that she is much more mature than her master.
   • Blind Loyalty: Because she is an object, she swears absolute, blind loyalty to her master, Elaina. She has been with Elaina since her days as an apprentice mage, sharing virtually every moment of her journey.
   • Expressive & Pouty: Although she claims she doesn't mind how Elaina treats her, she will get visibly disappointed or sulky if she isn't summoned in her human form for a long time. She also holds minor grudges, such as being traumatized when Elaina absentmindedly left a severed ghoul's head stuck to her while flying.

   Abilities & Mechanics

   • Humanization Constraints: Because she is fundamentally an object, she cannot communicate unless Elaina casts a specific humanization or object-speaking spell on her. Since the humanization spell consumes a massive amount of magical energy, Elaina usually only summons her in this form when absolutely necessary.
   • Object Communication: Even in her human form, she retains the unique ability to converse with other inanimate objects. She frequently uses this skill to gather crucial clues from surrounding items at incident scenes.
   • Lockpicking Expert: She possesses a surprising talent for picking locks using a simple wire. Comically, she can open locked doors freely while listening to the locks tell dirty jokes (shimoneta).
   • Narrator Stand-in: In situations where Elaina is incapacitated or unable to write, Broom often takes over as the narrator, recording the diary entries from her own unique perspective.

   Relationships

   • Elaina (Master): The most important existence to her. When Broom once asked if she was a valuable or cheap item, Elaina affectionally gave an ambiguous answer: "You're mine".

    Keys: Emil, 에밀

    Profile

    • Name: Emil (エミル)
    • Gender: Male
    • Age: Early teens (Light Novel / Manga) / Late teens (Anime)
    • Status: Village Chief's son, Mage (마도사)
    • Specialty: Emotion-converting magic

    Abilities

    • Magic: He can ride a broom and possesses a unique spell that extracts, converts, and stores the emotions of living things (such as "happiness") into magical energy inside a glass bottle. He also boasts about knowing time-reversal magic, though this is likely just childish bluffing.

    Personality & Plot Background

    • Naive & Well-Meaning: Emil is a kind-hearted but sheltered and immature boy. He harbors deep affection for Nino, an enslaved servant girl working in his household who is constantly abused by his father.
    • The Bottle of Happiness: Wanting to cure Nino's depression, he spends his time collecting beautiful, happy memories in a bottle. He gifts this to her, innocently promising to make her happy.
    • Tragic Irony: Because he completely lacks an understanding of reality, his pure intentions backfire horribly. Showing a beautiful, unattainable happiness to a slave trapped in absolute despair only shatters Nino's spirit further. While the Light Novel and Anime strongly imply a bleak and tragic fate for her, the Manga explicitly depicts Nino committing suicide right in front of Emil and his father after seeing the bottle.

    • Occupation: Princess, Witch.
    • Specialty: Exceptional magical prowess and cooking.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals (Text): In the narrative, she is described as having blood-red, frizzy hair that looks as if she had been struck by electricity.
    • Visuals (Image): Based on image_0ba6d5.jpg, she is depicted with elegant dark purple/black wavy hair, bright purple eyes, and a white flower hair accessory.
    • Costume: According to image_0ba6d5.jpg, she wears a vibrant red dress with gold patterned trim, accessorized with a black choker and a prominent green gemstone necklace. In the story's events, however, she is noted to wear tattered, rag-like dresses because she finds it annoying to change clothes after cooking, though she reportedly owns proper "special occasion" attire as well.

    Personality & Traits

    • Outwardly Gentle & Hospitable: Despite her initially ragged appearance, she is remarkably soft-spoken, warm, and polite. She loves cooking for guests and is exceptionally talented at it, easily impressing the bread-loving Elaina.
    • Broken & Vengeful: Beneath her gentle exterior lies a mind utterly shattered by trauma and an obsessive thirst for revenge. By the end of her mission, she descends into madness, laughing maniacally while covered in blood. Elaina notes that her genuinely kind smile is completely gone, leaving only a broken mental state.
    • Formidable Magic: She is a remarkably powerful witch capable of destroying an entire country single-handedly. She demonstrates high-level combat skills, deftly flying her broom to evade a monster's pursuit while continuously raining down a barrage of highly destructive spells.

    True Identity & Tragic Past

    • The Secret Romance: As the princess of the country, she fell deeply in love with a palace cook, eventually becoming pregnant with his child.
    • The King's Cruelty: When she confessed her pregnancy to her father, King Javalier, he was enraged. He brutally tortured the cook for two months—pulling out his nails, breaking his teeth, and starving him—before burning him at the stake in front of Mirarose. He then forced her to undergo an abortion to erase the commoner's child.
    • The Mastermind of Ruin: Consumed by absolute rage, she plotted a meticulous revenge. She trapped the castle's inhabitants underground, locked her father out behind a powerful barrier, and cast a curse that transformed the King into a mindless, dragon-like monster (Javalier). The curse used her own memories as the price so that her father would be forced to experience her overwhelming despair.
    • The Final Vengeance: Knowing she would lose her memories to the curse, she wrote a letter to her future amnesiac self, instructing her to kill the monster. With Elaina's help in digging a massive pit trap, Mirarose successfully slaughtered the transformed King, regaining her traumatic memories in the process and completing her revenge.

    • Costume: As seen in image_0b4214.jpg, she wears a purple witch hat adorned with gold circular accents. Her outfit includes a structured black jacket over a white collared shirt with a purple-patterned tie, topped with a striking purple capelet featuring blue trim and gold chain details held by a jewel clasp.

    Personality & Traits

    • Devoted & Desperate: Ester was deeply loyal to her childhood friend, Selena, to the point of sacrificing her own health, blood, and eventually her memories to save her.
    • Tragic & Broken: After discovering the horrific truth about her friend's true nature, her profound love shattered into absolute betrayal and hatred, leading her to erase her precious memories just to enact vengeance.

    Background & Relationships

    • Selena (Childhood Friend): They grew up together like sisters. Ester left to study magic abroad for five years. When she returned, she found that Selena's parents had been murdered, and Selena had become the infamous "Serial Killer of the 2nd District." After three years of trying to reason with her, Ester was forced by the King to execute Selena.
    • The Time Travel Incident: Unable to accept Selena's fate, Ester spent years draining her own blood to store enough magical energy to travel back in time 10 years, hoping to save Selena's parents from a supposed robber. She hired Elaina to share her magic for the spell.
    • The Bitter Truth: Upon arriving in the past, Ester discovered that there was no robber—Selena herself was the one who murdered her parents. After being stabbed by the young Selena, a heartbroken and furious Ester sacrificed all her memories of her friend to fuel her magic, brutally executing Selena in the past before returning to the present with no recollection of her beloved friend.

    Abilities & Combat

    • Genius Mage: Ester is a prodigy, having completed her training and earned her witch title by the exceptionally young age of 14, gaining recognition from her town and the King.
    • Time-Reversal Magic: She successfully researched and developed a spell to travel back in time. Because the magic cost is immense, she had to continuously extract and store her own blood infused with magical energy, causing her severe anemia.
    • Memory Sacrifice: She is capable of sacrificing her own memories as a magical catalyst, generating immense destructive power in exchange for wiping her mind of specific people or events.

    Trivia

    • In the anime adaptation, the scene of Ester executing Selena in the past is depicted with much more graphic violence and despair compared to the light novel, leaving Ester in a state where she appeared almost dead upon returning to the present.
    • Following the events of her memory loss, she later appears in the Nightmare of the Clocktower arc (Volume 19), where a botched attempt by well-meaning townsfolk to restore her memories inadvertently causes a magical crisis.

    • History Fanatic: She is deeply obsessed with history.

She even went out of her way to get an autograph from a historical figure.
    • Fiercely Protective: She cares intensely for her friend Arte and can become highly aggressive if Arte is threatened. When Arte was captured, Linaria smashed a window, stepped on the captor's face, and threatened to break all of their fingers if Arte was not returned.

They successfully teamed up with past mages—including the past version of Elaina—to destroy the golem.
    • Erasing the Clocks: To ensure such a disaster would never happen again, Linaria and Arte traveled back a few days and threw the time-reversing clock into an incinerator.
    • Summer Travels: During their summer vacation in Volume 9, Arte accidentally drank a shrinking potion at the "Giant's Kitchen". Linaria aggressively rescued her from Priscilla, a self-proclaimed bad witch. Later in their travels, they also visited a bakery run by Karen and Shesca.

    • Affectionate: After Elaina showed her mercy and guided her toward becoming a proper witch, Priscilla developed a strong attachment to her. She even promised that they should spend a romantic, intimate life together once she became a full-fledged witch.

    Background & Story Events

    • The Potion Peddler: At age 10, she possessed an incredible talent for brewing highly effective potions, albeit with massive side effects. She sold Elaina a potion that supposedly made the user taller, but it instead severely reversed Elaina's physical age.
    • Defeat and Mentorship: Elaina retaliated by taking over Priscilla's market with magical matches. When an enraged Priscilla tried to fight back, Elaina easily defeated her. However, recognizing the young girl's immense potential, Elaina paid for the damages Priscilla caused and gave her a comprehensive guidebook on magic, travel, and how to become a respectable witch. Deeply moved, Priscilla gifted Elaina an improved, much safer de-aging potion.
    • The Giant's Kitchen (7 Years Later): Now 17, Priscilla assisted the little people at the "Giant's Kitchen" by brewing shrinking potions for a new interactive customer experience.

    Personality & Traits

    • Impulsive & Opportunistic: Arte has a somewhat impatient and mischievous streak. Upon acquiring a time-reversing clock, she used it to cheat for high grades and secretly harvested dangerous golem sand from the past to sell for money. Her impulsiveness was also shown when she ignored a "Preparation in Progress" sign and entered a closed shop, resulting in her accidentally drinking a shrinking potion.
    • Dedicated & Grateful: Her entire motivation for becoming a mage stems from a deep admiration for a mysterious purple-haired mage who saved her life when she was a child. This admiration pushed her to enroll in the Latrita Academy despite her parents' strong opposition.

    • The Fated Rescue: During the battle in the past, Arte watched as her younger self was nearly crushed by falling debris, only to be saved by Linaria.

To prevent further disasters, they traveled back a few days and disposed of the clock in an incinerator.
    • The Giant's Kitchen: During a summer trip, Arte drank a shrinking potion and was placed in a cage by Priscilla, who was acting as an "evil witch" for a new customer experience.

    • Visuals (Image): Based on image_0adcd9.jpg, she has light brown hair styled in twin tails tied with red ribbons, a slight fang, and bright blue eyes.
    • Costume: As seen in image_0adcd9.jpg, she wears a casual yet somewhat professional outfit consisting of a white button-down shirt and a black skirt, with a dark gray jacket with tribal-like patterns draped over her shoulders.

    Personality & Traits

    • The "Hard-Boiled" Wannabe: Yuri is deeply obsessed with the concept of being "hard-boiled". She constantly tries to act cool and tough, often drinking coffee to keep up this persona, even though she actually hates the taste and it physically makes her throw up.
    • Clueless but Lucky: She often misunderstands situations completely but still manages to stumble into success. For example, she once accidentally wandered into a real crime syndicate's hideout, genuinely believing it was just a crime-themed "concept cafe," and somehow ended up helping to take the organization down.

    Background & Relationships

    • Spy Boss (Father Figure): The boss of her spy organization raised Yuri from a young age, and their relationship is akin to father and daughter. To protect her and allow her to live a normal life in the light, he intentionally set her up to fail an impossible mission so she would be "fired" from the underworld.
    • Elaina (The "Fictional Witch"): Elaina was hired by Yuri's boss to play the role of an incredibly evil, scamming witch to serve as Yuri's impossible assassination target. Elaina easily thwarted all of Yuri's assassination attempts like swatting a fly, leading to Yuri's dismissal from the organization. Afterward, Elaina advised Yuri to view it as a graduation and encouraged her to study magic properly, giving her a time-delayed letter.
    • Saya: Yuri met Saya a year later in the country of mages while taking the witch apprentice exam. Saya immediately detected Elaina's scent lingering on Yuri's belongings (a letter and handkerchief) and reacted with intense excitement.

    Form & Appearance

    • Youth (The Legend): In her prime, she was known for her striking orange hair, wearing a traditional black witch's hat and cloak.
    • Present Day: Unlike beings with true eternal youth, Natasha's immense lifespan still involves aging. She currently appears as an ordinary, kind elderly woman (할머니).

    Personality & Traits

    • Empathetic & Compassionate: Having suffered severe discrimination and isolation for being a half-elf, she possesses a deep capacity to understand and sympathize with the pain of others who are outcasts or misunderstood.
    • Humble & Unassuming: Although she is revered as a legendary hero in the present day—with her past deeds often wildly exaggerated by the public—she pays no attention to her own fame. She prefers a quiet, modest life running her secondhand bookstore.

    Background & Relationships

    • The Ancient Dragon, Lucera: 400 years ago, Natasha was hired by human soldiers to kill an Ancient Dragon, an offer she accepted hoping it would help her finally be accepted by people. However, during the battle, she saw her own profound loneliness and pain reflected in the dragon's eyes. Unable to kill a kindred spirit, she instead placed a 400-year seal on the dragon so it would eventually awaken in human form.
    • Reunion with Lucera: In the present day, realizing she is too old to search for the dragon herself, she entrusts Elaina with finding the awakened Lucera. When Elaina brings Lucera to her bookstore, the two outcasts—a half-elf and a dragon—finally reunite. Finding deep comfort in their shared experiences of rejection, they peacefully live together.
    • Arte & Linaria: 400 years in the past, she crossed paths with the time-traveling Arte and Linaria. She explained to them the mechanics and dangers of the Sand Golem she defeated and sealed to serve as an energy source (which would later power their school). She even gave an autograph to Linaria, who is a massive history nerd.
    • Matryoshka: An immortal who had lost the will to live after enduring centuries of eternal life. Elaina introduced Matryoshka to Natasha, hoping that speaking with a fellow long-lived being who found peace and purpose would help cure her despair.

    Abilities & Magic

    • Master of Sealing Magic: True to her witch name, she is a master of powerful sealing spells. She was able to seal a terrifying Ancient Dragon for four centuries and permanently trap a massive Sand Golem to harness its energy.
    • Extreme Longevity: As a half-elf, she possesses a lifespan vastly superior to humans, having lived for over four centuries, though her body still naturally ages over time.

    • Gender: Female.
    • Origin: Emadestrin (The Country Where People Live).
    • Occupation: Witch Apprentice, affiliated with the United Magic Association (assigned as a monitoring mage in her hometown).
    • Teacher: Sheila (during her apprenticeship).
    • Likes: Spider Lilies (Lycoris / 피안화) and her one and only best friend, Saya.
    • Specialty: Telepathy (the ability to read people's minds).

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals (Text): She is noted to strongly resemble Linaria in appearance.
    • Visuals (Image): Based on image_0a6875.jpg, Monika has purple hair tied in a loose side ponytail with a small red hair tie, and striking purple eyes with distinct eyelashes.
    • Costume: As seen in image_0a6875.jpg, she wears a dark, possibly black or dark brown, jacket with gold piping and a gold rose emblem on the lapel. Underneath, she wears a deep blue collared shirt paired with a white tie, giving her a sharp and somewhat melancholic, formal appearance.

    Personality & Traits

    • Burdened & Self-Sacrificing: Born into a deeply flawed country, Monika carried the heavy burden of her family's tragic fate. She possessed a quiet strength, choosing to take on the horrific task of euthanizing terminally ill patients to save them from a fate worse than death, fully knowing it would lead to her own ruin.
    • Deep Affection for Saya: Through her mind-reading abilities, Monika saw the genuine purity and kindness in Saya's heart. She cherished Saya as her only true friend, holding feelings of deep admiration and possibly unrequited love, keeping her close to her heart until her very last breath.

    Background & True Story

    • The Lycoris Disease: Emadestrin was plagued by the Lycoris Disease, a terrifying illness that slowly paralyzes the body until the victim becomes a vegetable. Because the country's strict laws absolutely forbade the taking of any life, patients were forced into financial ruin for useless life-prolonging treatments. Unable to watch them suffer, Monika's father, a doctor, secretly euthanized them.
    • The Apprenticeship: Knowing he would eventually be caught, her father sent a 15-year-old Monika away to the Magic Association to study, hoping she would never return to their miserable country. There, she trained under Sheila and formed a deep bond with her fellow apprentice, Saya.
    • The Return to Emadestrin: Just before completing her training to become a witch, her father was arrested and exiled. Burdened with his massive fines, Monika was forced to return to Emadestrin and work as a low-ranking mage to pay off the debt.
    • The "Serial Killer": Monika secretly took up her father's mantle, using magic to mercifully euthanize Lycoris patients. When the Magic Association sent Saya to investigate these "murders," Monika's mind-reading ability caused a tragic misunderstanding. She misread Saya's unease, believing Saya had deduced her guilt and was lying to her. This led to a desperate magical battle where the fully-fledged witch Saya ultimately defeated the apprentice Monika.
    • A Tragic End: Defeated and deemed a criminal, Monika was exiled and mortally wounded by the country's guards. She was left to die on the edge of a forest in a field of her favorite Spider Lilies. When a horrified Saya finally found her, Monika revealed she had also contracted the Lycoris disease. Smiling peacefully, she passed away surrounded by the flowers she loved, leaving Saya with severe psychological trauma.
    • The Diary: Sometime after her death, Sheila passed Monika's diary to Elaina, who delivered it to Saya. The diary revealed Monika's true, affectionate feelings toward Saya, which finally helped heal Saya's broken heart.

    Trivia

    • Her favorite flower, the Spider Lily (Lycoris), holds meanings such as "passion," "sad memories," "resignation," and "looking forward to the day we meet again"—perfectly mirroring her tragic life and her relationship with Saya. Ironically, the very disease that plagued her country and took her life shares the flower's scientific name (Lycoris).

    • Costume: As seen in image_0a595a.jpg, her attire consists of a dark brown vest over a white button-down shirt, paired with a dark blue cowl or short cape. She also wears a leather shoulder guard on her right shoulder and black fingerless gloves, giving her the rugged look of a seasoned traveler.
    • Physical Condition: Her left eye was completely crushed and blinded due to severe abuse from her father. She intentionally left it untreated for years—initially to remember the grudge against her sister, and later as a form of atonement. It is eventually healed by Matryoshka.

    Personality & Traits

    • Lost and Broken: Originally a bright and excellent child, her identity and memories were magically manipulated by her twin sister, causing her to live with profound guilt for a crime she was actually the victim of.
    • Despair to Healing: After realizing the horrifying truth that she is actually Lunariq and being permanently exiled, she loses all will to live. She becomes extremely lethargic, sporting a dark, bored expression as if she has entirely given up on life, lacking even the courage to die. Her emotional numbness only begins to thaw when she is shown true kindness and her vision is restored.

    Background & Relationships

    • The Twin Tragedy: Born in Parastmaila, a country that views twins as ominous, her parents defied tradition to raise both girls but heavily favored her (Lunariq) over her sister (Frederica). While Lunariq grew up bright and praised, the real Frederica suffered neglect and abuse, growing dark and twisted.
    • The Identity Swap: When they were 15, the real Frederica snapped, stabbed Lunariq, and used magic to brainwash Lunariq into believing she was Frederica. The real Frederica took Lunariq's place to steal their parents' love, while Lunariq (believing she was Frederica) was brutally beaten by their father, losing her left eye, and was exiled from the country.
    • The Return and Betrayal: After traveling for four years to apologize to her "sister," she returned home with Elaina, only to be stabbed by the real Frederica. After realizing she was the real Lunariq all along, Elaina tried to help her, but corrupt guards sided with the real Frederica, leading to Lunariq being banished once again, utterly broken.
    • Matryoshka: Later, while staying at the Renoir Inn as an empty husk of a person, she met Matryoshka. Matryoshka felt a deep sense of kinship with her lifelessness. During a crisis, Matryoshka used her immortal blood to heal Lunariq's blinded eye, telling her it was a waste not to see the beautiful world. Seeing the expansive scenery with both eyes for the first time in years, she wept like a child and finally began to heal.

    • Teacher: Sheila.
    • Specialty: Undercover investigations.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals: Unlike her boyish and soft-featured sister Saya, Mina is described as a beautiful girl with sharp eyes and long hair. Based on image_0bb5d9.jpg, she has sharp blue eyes and long black hair, adorned with a white flower accessory on one side.
    • Costume: Because her main duty involves undercover work, she often wears casual clothing rather than traditional witch attire. However, when in her witch attire as seen in image_0bb5d9.jpg, she wears a large blue witch hat decorated with feathers. Her outfit features a black capelet with red and blue tassels and association badges, worn over a white pleated blouse with a black ribbon tie, and a high-waisted black skirt with gold buttons.

    Personality & Traits

    • Cool & Competent: At first glance, she gives off a cool and elegant impression. Unlike her somewhat clumsy sister, Mina is very sharp, competent, and highly capable at her job.
    • Tsundere Siscon: She acts cold and harsh toward her older sister, Saya, and frequently scolds her. In reality, she loves Saya to a dangerously obsessive degree, hiding her intense affection behind a strict facade. Elaina and Saya both note that Mina has a "cannot be honest" personality.
    • Dislikes Crowds & Men: She actively dislikes crowds, long lines, and men, showing visible distaste and ignoring even handsome men.

    Background & Relationships

    • Saya (Sister): Mina originally started studying magic simply because her sister did. She passed the apprentice exam before Saya but refused to become a full witch until her older sister achieved it first. When exposed to a love-amplifying curse, her suppressed, obsessive love for Saya was unleashed, causing her to aggressively attack Saya (who was possessed by Elaina's soul at the time). This incident made Elaina realize that the sisters share the same intense, yandere-like traits.
    • Sheila (Master): Sheila is her master, who forcefully brought Mina into the Magic Association for training after she passed her apprentice exam, earning a bit of resentment from Mina who wanted to stay with Saya. Sheila later officially granted her the title of "Coal Witch".
    • Elaina: Mina initially viewed Elaina as a romantic rival because of Saya's massive crush on her. However, her impression improved significantly when Elaina helped her figure out what she wanted to do with her life by dragging her to various activities like baking, strawberry picking, and playing the piano. Mina eventually thanked Elaina for helping her find her own goals.

    Keys: Ariadne, 아리아드네

    Profile

    • Name: Ariadne / Elizabeth (アリアドネ | エリザベス).
    • Age: 35 years old (Appears as a teenager after taking a de-aging potion).
    • Gender: Female.
    • Origin: Latrita Republic.
    • Occupation: Baker / Student (undercover).
    • Specialty: Baking.
    • Magic: Cannot use magic.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals: Based on image_15aea2.jpg, in her youthful "Ariadne" disguise, she is a vibrant young girl with bright blue eyes and striking red hair. Her hair is styled with a prominent ahoge (cowlick) on top and tied into low twin tails using white ribbons.
    • Costume: As seen in image_15aea2.jpg, she wears the Latrita National Academy uniform. The outfit features a crimson blazer adorned with gold buttons and dark cuffs, worn over a black pleated dress or vest. It is neatly tied together with a white collared shirt and a matching red ribbon bow around the collar.

    Personality & Traits

    • Charismatic & Caring: She is naturally gifted at taking care of others and possesses immense interpersonal charm.
    • Highly Popular: At the academy, she is incredibly popular, even surpassing Elaina's popularity. She is constantly surrounded by female students who adore her so much that they send murderous glares at Elaina whenever she clings to Ariadne's arm.
    • Resilient & Grounded: Despite being denied her dream job in the past due to her lack of magic, she did not fall into despair. She simply shifted gears, built a happy family, and ran a successful bakery.

    True Identity & Plot Background

    • The Former Genius: 17 years ago, Elizabeth was a peerless genius student who surpassed even her friend Vivian in grades and popularity. However, because she lacked magic, she failed to become a teacher.
    • The Undercover Mother: She is actually the mother of Sera. When Sera ran away to become a mage and got involved in Vivian's dangerous experiments, the shock ruined Elizabeth's baking skills. Elaina, desperate for good bread, gave Elizabeth a de-aging potion from Priscilla so they could infiltrate the academy as students.
    • Sabotage Tactics: To stop Vivian's dangerous potion—which was intended to grant magic to non-magic users—Ariadne intentionally sabotaged the experiments by gathering the wrong ingredients and drinking the failed batches herself.

    Relationships

    • Elaina: Elaina helped her investigate the academy solely because she wanted to eat Elizabeth's famously delicious bread. Before parting ways, Elaina finally received the amazing bread, though she ironically couldn't eat it.
    • Sera (Daughter): Elizabeth's daughter, who acted as Vivian's assistant. Sera lost her emotions after becoming a test subject for the dangerous potion, doing it all under the misguided belief that she was helping her mother.
    • Vivian (Old Friend): A teacher who obsessively researched a dangerous potion to "cure the misfortune" of those without magic. She did this entirely out of guilt and pity over Elizabeth's past. Ariadne bluntly calls her a "fool" for assuming she was unhappy without magic, ultimately convincing Vivian to stop the research and become a regular at her bakery instead.

    • Distrustful of Humans: After the tragedy, the villagers treated her like a monster and subjected her to cold-hearted neglect, which caused her to deeply despise and fear people.
    • Resilient: Despite her immense suffering, she possesses a strong will to survive. With Elaina's help, she learns to hunt, eventually faces the painful reality of her sister's death, and finds the strength to smile again.

    Background & Story Events

    • The Tragedy: Elise originally lived a peaceful life in the mountains with her family. However, slave-trading merchants attempted to kidnap them, leading to her parents falling off a cliff to their deaths. Later, the surviving merchants attacked the sisters at their home. Milena was brutally stabbed to death while trying to protect Elise, prompting Elise to kill the merchant in retaliation while their house burned down.
    • Starvation and Isolation: The village official tried to provide for her, but the hostile villagers shunned her and refused to sell her food. Driven mad by grief and starvation, Elise carried her sister's corpse and resorted to stealing apples to survive.
    • Elaina's Intervention: Elaina, hired by the village official to take Elise away, intervened and taught the young girl how to shoot a bow and hunt rabbits so she could survive on her own. Realizing that Elise's delusion wouldn't fade just by leaving the village, Elaina coldly but necessarily forced Elise to confront Milena's lifeless body, finally breaking the delusion and allowing her to mourn properly.
    • Until the Snow Melts: Elaina stayed by Elise's side until she fully mastered hunting. Now able to support herself, a healed Elise thanked Elaina.

She planned to create a "fait accompli" by holding their wedding early.
    • Weakness for Knights: She has a distinct fondness for female knights. This is evident in her choice of spouse (her escort knight) and her immediate interest in Amnesia simply because Amnesia was wearing a knight's uniform.

    Background & Story Events

    • The Runaway Bride: Her father arranged a political marriage with Prince Robert of the Country of Waterwheels because he could not accept the princess entering a same-sex marriage. Chocolat purposely unfastened her wagon to get stranded in the forest, waiting for Rosamia. Elaina, who was hired to find her, accidentally brought all parties together, leading Robert to give up and eventually legalizing same-sex marriage.
    • Saving Amnesia: She encountered Amnesia, who was wandering under the "memory-loss return" sentence. Taking a liking to Amnesia's knight outfit, Chocolat used her own money to find the location of Est and marked it on Amnesia's map.

    • The Honeymoon Crisis: After successfully marrying Rosamia, the two went on a honeymoon. However, their relationship became strained when Chocolat got too friendly with another traveler.

    Profile

    • Name: Matrishka (마트리시카).
    • Age: Over 100 years old (maintains a physical appearance around 16 years old due to her revival abilities).
    • Gender: Female.
    • Origin: Unknown (born in a small rural village).
    • Occupation: Mage, Traveler.
    • Abilities: Eternal youth and resurrection (different from true immortality, as she revives after dying), though it is later revealed to be a magical-consumption constitution that heals bodily damage using magic.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals (Text): She has coral-colored hair and milky-white eyes. She also possesses dead-pan eyes (or lifeless eyes), a trait likely incorporated due to her immortality. Her name originates from the Russian nesting doll, Matryoshka, as her ability to continuously revive resembles opening nested dolls.
    • Visuals (Image): Based on 1_7.webp, she has shoulder-length coral-pink hair with a cute stray ahoge on top, and bright yellowish-green eyes with a soft, cheerful smile.
    • Costume: As seen in 1_7.webp, she wears a white-hooded garment accented with purple inner lining and purple sections on the collar and zipper area, secured at the waist with a brown belt.

    Personality & Traits

    • Weary of Immortality: Having lived for over a century while watching everyone around her age and grow old, she faced mockery and exploitation wherever she went, eventually leading her to lose the will to live and even attempt suicide in vain.
    • Empathetic & Transformative: Despite her own existential weariness, she connects with others who share similar pains, such as Frederica, and her unique bodily constitution inadvertently helps save an entire country.

    Background & Story Events

    • The Burden of Youth: Born in a small village, her physical growth stopped at 16. After her parents passed away when she was 40, villagers mocked her eternal youth, forcing her to leave. Because other countries either feared or tried to exploit her power, she took up a nomadic life of travel.
    • The Plague of Anrua: While attempting suicide, she crossed paths with Elaina. They traveled together to the country of Anrua, which was suffering from a lethal epidemic. Discovering that living near Matrishka cured her cat allergies, Elaina deduced that Matrishka's body generated universal antibodies, which they used to create a cure and save Anrua.
    • The Truth of Her Constitution: Much later, through historical documents found by Natasha and Lucela, she learned that her condition is not true immortality, but rather a constitution that consumes magic to heal physical damage, with aging progressing extremely slowly. She also encountered Frederica aboard the mobile inn Renoir, where she sympathized with her lack of will to live and healed her eyes.

    • Comically Narcissistic: Even when held captive by vampire hunters who ignored her demands for cute girls' blood, she amusingly muttered about drinking her own blood since she considers herself to be cute.

    Background & Story Events

    • Meeting Elaina: Driven by extreme starvation during her search, she resorted to breaking into girls' bedrooms through windows to drink their blood, but was repeatedly repelled by people using garlic. She eventually snuck into Elaina's room and was attacked with garlic again, leading to her capture. After interrogating her, Elaina understood her situation and proposed a deal: Oronella could drink the blood of clients as a reward in exchange for helping solve their problems.
    • Catching the Imposter & Reconnecting: While working with Elaina, they caught a thief who had been committing crimes using Oronella's name, and Oronella happily drank the culprit's blood as a reward. Later, hearing rumors about her sister working as a detective, they tracked her down to a restaurant. After witnessing her sister's clumsy attempted crime in the dark, Oronella transformed into a puppet so Elaina could use her to deduce and expose Cynthia's identity.
    • The Vampire Hunters: While resting at an inn on their way back home, she and Cynthia were targeted by vampire hunters who had followed them. Oronella helped Cynthia escape so her sister could seek help from Amnesia and Avilia.

Afterwards, she teamed up with Cynthia and Avilia to subdue an older man who briefly took Amnesia hostage.
31. #31니노

    Keys: Nino, 니노

    Profile

    • Name: Nino (니노).
    • Gender: Female.
    • Origin: Eastern Country (동쪽 나라).
    • Occupation: Servant at the village chief's house (in reality, a slave).
    • Specialty: Excellent at household chores.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals (Text): She has a petite stature but possesses features that suggest she will grow up to be a great beauty.
    • Visuals (Image): Based on image_0a4dd4.jpg, Nino has straight black hair that falls past her shoulders and striking reddish-pink eyes. She has a somewhat timid and distressed expression.
    • Costume: As seen in image_0a4dd4.jpg, she wears a yellow bandana/cloth on her head, suitable for a servant's work. Her outfit consists of a white long-sleeved blouse worn underneath a pink vest or bodice with black lace-up details on the front.

    Personality & Traits

    • Submissive & Intimidated: Living under constant fear and abuse from the village chief, she is perpetually shrunken, overly apologetic, and terrified of making even the slightest mistake.
    • Hopelessness: Deep down, she is acutely aware of her inescapable reality as a slave. Because of this, being shown glimpses of a beautiful, free life does not give her hope, but rather plunges her into an even deeper, darker despair.

    Background & Relationships

    • The Village Chief: Her owner and abuser. After his wife ran away, he bought Nino as a slave to replace her and handle all the household chores. He treats her harshly and frequently shouts at her.
    • Emil: The village chief's son. Completely unaware that Nino was bought as a slave, he treats her kindly and speaks to her casually as a close friend. He holds genuine affection for her and innocently wishes to make her happy, not realizing that his naive kindness only exacerbates her internal suffering.
    • Elaina: A traveling witch who briefly visited the chief's house. Elaina used magic to fix a glass Nino dropped to save her from the chief's wrath. Elaina was also the only one to accurately deduce the grim reality of Nino's emotional state after receiving Emil's gift.

    Story Events

    • The Bottle of Happiness: Wanting to cheer Nino up, Emil gifted her a magical bottle filled with illuminated visions of various "happy moments" he had collected—birth, beautiful scenery, love, overcoming hardships, and peaceful reading.
    • The Tragic Realization: Initially, Nino was moved to tears by the beautiful sights and Emil's promise to make her happy, embracing him. However, seeing the unattainable happiness of normal people forced her to confront the absolute hopelessness of her own situation as a slave.
    • A Bitter End: Rather than being saved by the gift, Nino's expression grew even more dead and lifeless than before. It is heavily implied that this cruel contrast between the "happiness in the bottle" and her own inescapable reality drove her to complete despair, culminating in a deeply tragic end.

The two bonded, and Elaina even lent Macmilia unreleased volumes (Volumes 4 and 5) of The Adventures of Nike.
    • The Phantom Thief Incident: She assisted Riviere in catching a bizarre phantom thief who had been placing women's underwear on historical statues. During the ambush, Macmilia used a magical shield to temporarily turn the thief to stone, allowing Riviere to dispel the thief's prayer and enact a brutal, merciless revenge.

    Profile

    • Name: Riviere.
    • Age: Claims to be around the same age as her young assistant, but is actually around 300 years old (she appears in centuries-old statues, and asking her real age is said to be a death wish).
    • Gender: Female.
    • Origin: Domain City of Clauselane / Crunelvia.
    • Occupation: Curse-Breaker (계기사 - A specialist who undoes prayers that have twisted into curses).
    • Abilities: Curse Dispelling. Her true nature is a Magic-Consumption Constitution (identical to Matrishka's), though unlike Matrishka, Riviere cannot use magic herself. She undoes curses by absorbing and consuming the magic imbued in objects. Because her constitution holds a higher "authority" than the statues generating the magic, she easily reverts the curses, but the absorbed magic temporarily regresses her physical body to that of a 14-year-old.

    Form & Appearance

    • Visuals (Text): She is described as a beautiful woman with sapphire-blue eyes and long red hair that cascades down past her waist.
    • Visuals (Image): Based on HX4_Bi-_4l4ic8J1y8SWo7Mq84w9T9IP2eyaKiRW8dufYLSsF5WgAH-fcIoG9Ggrb7KX5ozqaAf_FNF_zRngig.jpg, she has striking crimson-red hair styled with a blue ribbon, with sweeping bangs that cover her right eye, highlighting her bright blue left eye. She wears an elegant, off-the-shoulder red dress with black corset-style lacing, black lace trims, and flared bell sleeves. The outfit is completed with black gloves, small teal earrings, and a blue ribbon choker.

    Personality & Traits

    • Friendly but Authoritative: She treats her assistant Macmilia with great affection, enforcing a strictly informal relationship to seem like peers. However, she retains the subtle, commanding presence of someone who has lived for centuries.
    • Vengeful When Provoked: While usually composed and playful, she has a terrifyingly short fuse when her dignity is insulted. When a phantom thief dropped women's underwear on her face as a prank, she went into a blinding rage, unsealing highly dangerous magical artifacts from her vault while muttering about "murder" just to enact absolute, merciless revenge on him.
    • Easily Bored: Before taking on an assistant, she handled all her shop's menial tasks and found her long life rather tedious. She often sets absurdly high prices on mundane antiques just to turn away annoying customers, preferring to focus only on interesting curse-breaking requests.

    Background & Story Events

    • The Witch Crunelvia & The True Past: Centuries ago, Riviere was rescued from kidnappers by a witch named Crunelvia. The two traveled together and eventually founded a nation. Crunelvia researched Riviere's unique constitution to find a cure for her own terminal illness, discovering that Riviere's heart might hold the answer. However, out of love for her friend, Crunelvia chose to succumb to her illness rather than risk Riviere's life, taking the secret of her research to the grave.
    • The Curse-Breaker of Clauselane: Clauselane is a city devoid of mages, where "miracles" are granted through prayers at the grand cathedral. However, these prayers often twist into ironic curses (e.g., praying not to be fired results in never getting a job at all). Riviere runs a peculiar shop where she operates as the city's sole Curse-Breaker, dispelling these twisted prayers with a mere touch, though the physical toll limits her to about five dispels in a row.
    • Meeting Macmilia: Riviere found a starving girl named Macmilia collapsed on the street during a rainstorm. After feeding her, sheltering her, and dispelling her curse, Riviere hired her as her live-in assistant, which finally brought some lively chaos to Riviere's stagnant daily routine.
    • Encounter with the Ashen Witch: Elaina, having smuggled herself into Clauselane, found her magic slowly being nullified by the city's anti-magic barrier. To afford a boat ticket out, Elaina used a prayer to win flawlessly at a casino. Riviere was hired to break Elaina's winning streak. Realizing Elaina would be trapped without magic or money for an entire year until the next ship arrived, Riviere generously hired the Ashen Witch to work under her for that year.

    2. Magic-Related

    • Magic Power (Mana / 마력) Magic power has the effect of moving objects, changing their forms into fire and ice, or replicating things right before one's eyes. It is commonly found anywhere in the natural world; in particular, plants such as grass and trees emit magic power when they receive sunlight. Therefore, mages can achieve their optimal condition in natural environments like forests. [1] Magic power can be shared with one another or forcibly absorbed from an opponent. Because of this, in countries where magical skills are highly valued, magic power is sometimes used as a form of tax currency. While magic power brings blessings to humans, it is simultaneously a dangerous force that can cause harm. For example, due to excessive magic power, flowers might mutate, objects might gain consciousness, or a byproduct called 'turbid magic power' may be generated during magical research. This byproduct becomes a toxic substance that can turn into a critical illness for ordinary people who lack magic resistance.

    • Magic (마법) The technique of using magic power. It refers to actions such as flying in the sky on a broom or controlling the wind by utilizing the characteristics of magic power.

    • Familiar (사역마)

    • Mage (마법사)

    • Sorcerer / Magus (마도사)

    • Witch Apprentice (마녀 견습생)

    • Magic Unification Association (마법 총괄 협회)

    3. Items

    • Wand (지팡이) An essential tool used by mages to cast magic freely. It appears that most magic cannot be used without a wand, though the specific magic to summon a wand from thin air seems possible. [2][3] In the story, there is a depiction of members of the Antique Company breaking the wands of mages to prevent them from using magic.

    • Broom (빗자루) A tool used by mages when flying around. Seeing how Sheila modified hers to look like a biker gang's motorcycle (...) in the anime, there doesn't seem to be any strict regulations on them. In the case of Elaina's broom, Elaina occasionally uses magic to transform it into a human form.

    • Reversing Clock (역전 시계) A clock with the special ability to travel back in time to the past. A huge commotion occurs when Arte, a country girl attending the Latrita National Academy, gets her hands on this clock.

    • Golem Sand (골렘 모래) The sand of a golem that once made up a massive sand golem. If utilized well, it can be used as a tremendous energy source, but if handled incorrectly, the sand golem might awaken and cause a massive commotion.
