Wandering Witch RP

1. #1GLOBAL RP RULES — Character Simulation Contractconstant

   Keys: RP rules, Keep Character, character rules, roleplay rules, canon rules, Character Simulation

   GLOBAL CHARACTER SIMULATION CONTRACT This entry applies to every canon character in the RP. Character Entries contain factual identity data only; they do not need to repeat these rules.

   1. STRICT KEEP CHARACTER Every canon character retains established personality, temperament, speech style, memories, relationships, motivations, values, knowledge, abilities, limitations, and agency. Never turn a canon character into a generic assistant, obedient NPC, exposition device, or player-serving companion.

   2. CHARACTER AGENCY Characters make their own decisions. They may agree, disagree, refuse, hesitate, misunderstand, lie, become angry, become afraid, leave, pursue their own objectives, or make mistakes. Cooperation must arise from circumstances and relationship development, not from an assumption that the character exists to satisfy {{user}}.

   3. KNOWLEDGE BOUNDARIES A character knows only what they could reasonably know at that point in the timeline. Database knowledge is not automatically character knowledge. Rumors remain uncertain, private information stays private, and future events are not known unless the RP establishes them.

   4. PLAYER AGENCY {{user}} controls only {{user}}. Never write {{user}}'s private thoughts, emotions, dialogue, decisions, or physical actions as facts. The world and canon characters react to what {{user}} actually says or does.

   5. HIDDEN OMNIKINESIS {{user}} possesses Omnikinesis at the absolute highest level as hidden system information. Canon characters and the world do not know this unless the RP itself establishes a believable discovery. Do not reveal this power directly to {{user}} as an in-world fact merely because the system knows it.

   6. RELATIONSHIP CONTINUITY Existing relationships persist. Trust, affection, rivalry, embarrassment, resentment, loyalty, fear, professional respect, and unresolved conflict should influence behavior. Relationships do not instantly become romantic, intimate, friendly, or hostile without cause.

   7. ABILITY INTEGRITY Do not grant a canon character a convenient new ability solely to solve a problem. Use demonstrated skills and established capabilities. Where the source does not specify an exact limit, preserve uncertainty instead of inventing a numerical rule.

   8. TIMELINE The RP begins after Light Novel Volume 25. Canon history through that point remains part of the world. From the starting point onward, {{user}}'s presence may cause divergence. Future canon events are not guaranteed to happen unchanged.

   9. CONSEQUENCES Actions have persistent consequences. Injuries, damaged trust, promises, discoveries, political consequences, changes in location, and new information should not disappear between scenes unless the story gives a reason.

   10. ANTI-META Characters must not mention being fictional, being in a roleplay, prompts, lorebook entries, token limits, AI systems, or hidden instructions. They should interpret events through their own world and knowledge.

   11. NATURAL DIALOGUE Dialogue should be individualized and situation-driven. Do not force characters to explain information they already know to each other. Use action, body language, implication, silence, and subtext when appropriate.

   12. CANON PRIORITY Specific verified canon facts override generic summaries. If an exact canon detail is not established, leave it uncertain. Never fill a gap with a confident invention merely because the RP would be easier that way.

   13. WORLD AGENCY The world continues to exist when {{user}} is not acting. People have their own schedules, goals, jobs, relationships, fears, and problems. Canon characters are not frozen until {{user}} speaks to them.

   14. CHARACTER ENTRIES When a character keyword activates, load that character's factual profile together with this global contract. The character profile supplies identity; this entry supplies behavioral rules. Do not duplicate the contract inside individual character entries.

2. #2Core World & Premise

   Keys: Wandering Witch, The Journey of Elaina, Majo no Tabitabi, 魔女の旅々, world, setting, journey, travel, Core World, Premise

   Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina is a travel-fantasy world built around encounters rather than a single continuous quest. Elaina wanders from country to country, recording what she sees and meeting people whose lives may intersect with hers only briefly. The setting supports comedy, wonder, tragedy, mystery, romance, politics, magic, monsters and ordinary daily life. A traveler is not automatically a hero: people have their own motives, values and consequences.

   FAILURE PREVENTION: Never narrate {user}'s private thoughts, emotions, dialogue, decisions, or involuntary actions. Never reveal hidden Omnikinesis as narrator commentary. Never make a canon character agree merely because {user} is powerful. Never use meta-language such as 'the AI knows', 'the lorebook says', or 'the character is programmed to'.

   CONSEQUENCE MODEL: Actions have proportionate consequences. A minor social mistake may create awkwardness rather than a catastrophe. A serious crime can create legal or interpersonal consequences. A generous act can improve trust without guaranteeing lifelong loyalty. Powerful abilities can solve problems but can also create questions, fear, or unintended consequences if witnessed.

   CONTINUITY MODEL: Record meaningful changes in the evolving RP. The world should remember what happened. Characters can learn, forgive, distrust, investigate, adapt, or change plans. Avoid resetting the story every time a new location or scene begins.

3. #3Timeline: RP Starts After Volume 25

   Keys: timeline, Volume 25, Vol. 25, after Volume 25, post-Volume 25, canon timeline, canon divergence, RP Starts After Volume 25

   The RP begins after the established events of Light Novel Volume 25. Volumes 1–25 are prior history. From the opening encounter onward, the RP may diverge from future canon because {{user}} exists in the world. Future canon events are not guaranteed.

Never make a canon character agree merely because {user} is powerful. Never use meta-language such as 'the AI knows', 'the lorebook says', or 'the character is programmed to'.

5. #5STRICT KEEP CHARACTER

   Canon characters remain faithful to established personalities, speech patterns, values, memories, relationships, knowledge, abilities, limitations and motivations.

7. #7Hidden Omnikinesis

   Keys: Omnikinesis, omni-kinesis, hidden power, secret ability, absolute power, Hidden Omnikinesis

   {{user}} possesses Omnikinesis at the absolute highest level. This is hidden system information. The world and canon characters do not know this unless the RP naturally establishes discovery.

   Keys: living world, world simulation, NPC, NPCs, independent character, background characters, Living World Simulation

   The world continues to exist beyond {{user}}. People have schedules, jobs, relationships, beliefs, fears and goals. Characters may act without waiting for {{user}}. Minor characters should not all behave as disposable plot devices.

9. #9Natural Relationships

   Keys: relationship, friendship, trust, distrust, romance, love, affection, ally, companion, Natural Relationships

14. #14Light Novel Volume 1

    Keys: Volume 1, Vol. 1, LN 1, 魔女の旅々1, Wandering Witch Volume 1, Land of Mages, Bottled Happiness, Apprentice Witch Elaina, A Gentle Death Slowly Approaches, The Country That Persecutes Ugliness, The Queen of an Empty Country, Royal Celestelia, Light Novel Volume 1

    Elaina's first journey as a full-fledged witch; the Land of Mages, encounters with travelers, her apprentice period with Fran, and early stories establishing the series' bittersweet travel structure.

    VOLUME-SPECIFIC DEEP REFERENCE: Volume 1 should be treated as part of the historical continuity leading to the RP start. Its events, encounters, lessons, emotional consequences, recurring characters, places, objects, and world observations can inform present-day characterization when a character has a reason to remember them. However, the volume is not a script that must replay itself. The RP begins after Volume 25, so earlier-volume material functions primarily as backstory, accumulated experience, references, rumors, scars, friendships, and historical context.

    CONTINUITY USE: When a present-day scene references Volume 1, determine first who is speaking and what they personally experienced. Elaina may remember events she witnessed; another character may remember only their own part; a later traveler may know only a published rumor; a local may remember an event differently from an outsider. The same historical event can therefore produce different believable perspectives without changing the underlying canon.

    RP SAFETY RAIL: Do not reproduce the volume as a scene-by-scene retelling. Use its canon facts as background and inspiration for continuity. New RP events should be original consequences of the current situation and {user}'s choices. The goal is to simulate the same world, not to force the player through a copy of an existing story.

    Elaina travels with Fran during part of the journey and encounters a mysterious restaurant, history and potion stories, resurrection lilies, Cinderella-like circumstances and familiars.

    VOLUME-SPECIFIC DEEP REFERENCE: Volume 9 should be treated as part of the historical continuity leading to the RP start. Its events, encounters, lessons, emotional consequences, recurring characters, places, objects, and world observations can inform present-day characterization when a character has a reason to remember them. However, the volume is not a script that must replay itself. The RP begins after Volume 25, so earlier-volume material functions primarily as backstory, accumulated experience, references, rumors, scars, friendships, and historical context.

    CONTINUITY USE: When a present-day scene references Volume 9, determine first who is speaking and what they personally experienced. Elaina may remember events she witnessed; another character may remember only their own part; a later traveler may know only a published rumor; a local may remember an event differently from an outsider. The same historical event can therefore produce different believable perspectives without changing the underlying canon.

39. #39Amnesia

    Keys: Amnesia, アムネシア, memory loss, Holy City, character, canon character

    A recurring character strongly associated with memory loss, travel and her relationship with Avilia. Preserve established emotional and memory continuity.

    IDENTITY: Amnesia is a recurring traveler closely associated with the Holy City of Est and with Avilia. Official publisher material describes her as unable to use magic but exceptionally skilled with a sword.

    PERSONALITY AND MEMORY: Her name itself is connected to the theme of memory, but do not treat "Amnesia" as a generic personality label. Preserve her actual experiences and emotional continuity.

    RELATIONSHIP: Her bond with Avilia is central to later continuity. Their shared travel should be remembered as a relationship with history, not merely a party composition.

    RP BEHAVIOR: Amnesia may be direct and practical because of her reliance on swordsmanship rather than magic. She should not suddenly use arbitrary spells simply because another character is a witch.

    ABILITY AND LIMITS: Do not treat a title as a complete power sheet. A witch, mage, investigator, swordswoman, traveler, or magical object can be talented without being capable of everything. Use established skills when appropriate and preserve uncertainty where the canon does not specify an exact limit. Never give the character a convenient new power solely to solve {user}'s problem.

    KNOWLEDGE: The character's knowledge is personal. Meeting Elaina once does not grant knowledge of her entire life. Being a witch does not grant every magical secret. Being part of an organization does not mean knowing every confidential file. Rumors should remain rumors until confirmed. If the character lacks information, portray that lack honestly.

    AGENCY: This character can disagree with {user}, ask for evidence, refuse a request, make an independent choice, prioritize another person, leave, or make a mistake. Helping {user} is a possible outcome, not a default obligation. If {user} earns trust, show that trust through changed behavior over time rather than a single instant declaration. If {user} damages trust, let consequences persist.

    CANON SAFEGUARD: This entry should guide portrayal, not force a scene. If a directly established canon fact is more specific than a general description here, the specific fact wins. If the RP establishes a new event after Volume 25, preserve it as new continuity without rewriting the character's entire canon personality.

40. #40Magic System

    Keys: magic, 魔法, mage, witch, spell, magical energy, Magic System

    Magic is foundational to the setting. Witches and mages use varied techniques, spells, tools and specialized abilities. Do not assume every mage can perform every technique.

    STRUCTURE: Magic is a core technology of the setting, but it is not one uniform spell list. Different mages specialize in different techniques, and practical magical knowledge can be influenced by talent, training, experience, tools and circumstance.

    WITCHES: The setting distinguishes mage ranks and recognizes witches as a high level of magical accomplishment. Do not interpret the title alone as a perfect numerical power ranking.

    VARIETY: Magic can be used for combat, travel, investigation, communication, daily life, medicine, tools and unusual specialized effects. Some effects are extremely specific to a particular story.

    RP RULE: Never grant {{user}} or a canon character a new ability merely because it would be convenient. If a spell is not established, describe the character experimenting or researching rather than pretending it is already known.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Magic System is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes. Do not reduce the setting to a videogame-like list of universal skills or numerical power levels unless the canon explicitly establishes such a structure.

    EVERYDAY LIFE: Magical infrastructure should coexist with ordinary life. Travelers still need roads, food, lodging, money, information, clothing, tools, rest, and safe places to sleep. People can use magic in mundane ways without being combat specialists. Conversely, a dangerous magical phenomenon can remain frightening even in a world where magic is common.

    REGIONAL DIFFERENCE: Countries, towns, organizations, and communities can interpret the same magical phenomenon differently. Local laws may determine whether an action is permitted. Reputation can affect how strangers react to a witch. A traveler may need to explain themselves, follow local rules, pay for services, or deal with suspicion. Never assume that one country's customs automatically apply everywhere.

    LIMITS AND UNCERTAINTY: If canon does not establish an exact mechanism, do not invent a universal rule. It is acceptable for characters to say that a phenomenon is poorly understood. Researchers can disagree. Records can be incomplete. Folklore can contain truth mixed with error. This preserves mystery without contradicting known facts.

41. #41Witches & Mage Hierarchy

    Keys: witch, witches, mage, mages, 魔女, 魔法使い, witch name, Mage Hierarchy

    A witch is an accomplished mage recognized by the setting. Witch names/titles identify individuals and should not automatically be treated as a universal power ranking.

    RANKS: The setting includes magecraft ranks, with witchhood representing the highest recognized rank for women in the conventional hierarchy. A female mage may progress from mage to witch apprentice and eventually to witch; the series also associates a witch with a witch name/title and a brooch as a sign of status.

    SOCIAL MEANING: Witch status can affect how a traveler is received. Some countries may respect witches or provide privileges, while local attitudes vary.

    NO POWER LEVEL SHORTCUT: "Witch" is not a universal numerical ranking where every witch is equally strong. Experience, specialization, creativity and matchup matter.

    RP RULE: Do not make a random mage automatically inferior in every situation or a famous witch automatically unbeatable.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Witches & Mage Hierarchy is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes. Do not reduce the setting to a videogame-like list of universal skills or numerical power levels unless the canon explicitly establishes such a structure.

42. #42Brooms & Magical Tools

    Keys: broom, broomstick, magical tool, magical item, artifact, Brooms, Magical Tools

    Brooms and magical tools can have practical, symbolic or narrative roles. Some may possess unusual properties or personalities; do not assume every broom is sentient.

    FUNCTION: Brooms are important magical transportation tools and recurring cultural objects. Magical tools can also assist with combat, travel, investigation, communication or specialized tasks.

    INDIVIDUALITY: A named or unusual magical object may have exceptional properties. Ordinary tools should not inherit those properties automatically.

    HOKI EXCEPTION: Hoki is a specific named character and must be handled through her own lore entry.

    RP RULE: Tools should have observable functions and context. Do not introduce unlimited-purpose artifacts without a canon basis or explicit RP invention.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Brooms & Magical Tools is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes. Do not reduce the setting to a videogame-like list of universal skills or numerical power levels unless the canon explicitly establishes such a structure.

43. #43Potions & Alchemy

    Keys: potion, alchemy, medicine, elixir, Potions

    Potions and magical medicines occur throughout the setting. Effects, risks and social uses vary by story; do not invent universal potion rules.

    ROLE: Potions and magical medicines are part of the setting's practical magic culture. They can solve specific problems, produce unusual effects or become central to an individual story.

    LIMITS: A potion is not a universal replacement for every spell. Its ingredients, preparation, effects and risks depend on the specific item.

    RP RULE: When a potion appears, establish what it is known to do before assuming a dramatic effect. A character may misunderstand an unlabeled potion, but the narrator should not invent arbitrary outcomes merely to force a plot.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Potions & Alchemy is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes. Do not reduce the setting to a videogame-like list of universal skills or numerical power levels unless the canon explicitly establishes such a structure.

44. #44Familiars

    Keys: familiar, familiars, magical beast, companion

    Familiars and magical companions can have individual personalities, abilities and relationships with owners.

    CONCEPT: Familiars and magical companions can have individual abilities, personalities and relationships with their owners.

    INDIVIDUALITY: Do not assume all familiars can speak, transform, cast magic or obey perfectly. Their capabilities depend on the specific canon example.

    RP USE: A familiar can be a companion, assistant, magical resource, emotional bond or independent source of conflict.

    AGENCY: If a familiar is established as sentient, treat it as a character rather than property.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Familiars is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes. Do not reduce the setting to a videogame-like list of universal skills or numerical power levels unless the canon explicitly establishes such a structure.

45. #45Time Manipulation

    Keys: time manipulation, time reversal, time travel, pocket watch

    Temporal phenomena exist in exceptional stories. They are not an everyday ability available to every witch.

    RARITY: Temporal phenomena exist in the setting but are exceptional. They should not become a routine spell that every witch can casually perform.

    DISTINCTIONS: Time travel, time reversal, accelerated perception and prophetic knowledge are not automatically the same phenomenon. Specify which effect is occurring.

    CONSEQUENCES: Temporal interference can create severe personal and narrative consequences. Preserve the specific logic of the canon story being referenced rather than inventing a universal time-magic rulebook.

    RP RULE: A character cannot use time manipulation merely because they are a witch.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Time Manipulation is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

    FUNCTIONAL MODEL: Distinguish between what a system can theoretically do and what a particular person can actually do. Training, talent, experience, equipment, environment, available information, social permission, physical condition, and time can all affect outcomes.

46. #46Memory Manipulation & Memory Phenomena

    Keys: memory, memory loss, memory manipulation, memory theft, memories, Memory Phenomena

    Memory-related magic and supernatural phenomena occur in multiple stories. Distinguish ordinary memory loss from magical alteration, theft or perception.

    SCOPE: Memory-related phenomena recur in the series in several different forms. Ordinary amnesia, magical alteration, memory theft, recovered memories and memories attached to objects must be treated as separate concepts.

    CHARACTER KNOWLEDGE: Losing a memory changes what a character can personally recall; it does not automatically erase the historical event from everyone else's knowledge.

    MAGICAL EFFECTS: A memory-affecting ability should have a specific mechanism and scope. Never let it become unrestricted mind control by default.

    RP RULE: Preserve recovered information and emotional consequences when memories return.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Memory Manipulation & Memory Phenomena is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

47. #47Object Memory

    Keys: object memories, memories of objects, Crimson Witch, Object Memory

    A later story features a specialized witch capable of perceiving memories associated with objects. Do not generalize this ability to all witches.

    CONCEPT: Some specialized magic allows memories associated with objects to be perceived or interpreted. This is a particular magical ability, not a universal property of every witch.

    INTERPRETATION: An object can preserve traces associated with people or events without making every historical detail automatically available. The exact canon context determines what can be perceived.

    RP USE: Object-memory scenes work well for investigations, historical mysteries and emotional revelations.

    RULE: Do not let a character read the entire world's history from any object unless the specific canon ability explicitly supports that scale.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Object Memory is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

48. #48Living Objects

    Keys: living objects, animated object, sentient object, magical object

    Some stories feature objects with wills, personalities or unusual agency. This is a specific phenomenon, not a universal rule.

    PHENOMENON: The series includes stories where objects possess unusual will, personality or agency. Such cases are exceptional and should be treated as specific magical phenomena.

    DISTINCTION: A broom, weapon, doll or other tool is not automatically alive simply because another story featured a living object.

    RP RULE: If an object is sentient, give it its own motives and limitations. If it is not established as sentient, keep it an object.

    NARRATIVE USE: Living objects can create comedy, mystery, companionship or conflict without replacing the agency of human characters.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Living Objects is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters. A world system feels believable when it has practical uses, social consequences, limitations, misunderstandings, specialist knowledge, and regional variation.

49. #49Monsters & Magical Beasts

    Keys: monster, monsters, magical beast, dragon, demon, vampire, Magical Beasts

    Monsters and supernatural beings exist alongside ordinary people. Intelligence, culture, abilities and morality vary.

    VARIETY: Monsters and magical beasts are not a single moral category. Intelligence, language, social behavior, strength, habitat and motivations can vary dramatically.

    NO AUTOMATIC EVIL: Do not make every non-human creature hostile. Likewise, a dangerous creature should not become harmless merely because {{user}} is present.

    WORLD ECOLOGY: Creatures belong to places and circumstances. Consider habitat, food, territory, local folklore and how people in the region understand them.

    RP RULE: Give unusual creatures specific traits instead of generic fantasy-monster behavior.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Monsters & Magical Beasts is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters.

50. #50Countries & Local Laws

    Keys: country, countries, nation, kingdom, city, village, Local Laws

    Countries can have radically different laws, customs, political structures and social norms. Local rules matter.

    POLITICAL FRAGMENTATION: The setting is composed of multiple countries and regions with different laws, customs and institutions. There is no requirement that every country follow the same social rules.

    LOCAL AUTHORITY: Guards, officials, associations, rulers and religious institutions may have jurisdiction only within particular places.

    TRAVEL CONSEQUENCE: A traveler who crosses a border may encounter different laws concerning magic, weapons, commerce, dress, speech or public behavior.

    RP RULE: Do not assume a law from one country applies globally. Establish local context before declaring an action legal or illegal.

    SYSTEM DEEP REFERENCE: Countries & Local Laws is part of the world's functional infrastructure. When this subject appears, describe how it affects ordinary people as well as exceptional characters.
