Blue Rose Knights

In General

Amazon Brigade: A squad of female Magic Knights, with the male members serving as errand boys instead of doing the fighting.
Color Motif: Blue. The squads' fighters are all women, with the men serving as errand boys.
Flower Motifs: The blue rose represents the perfect and unattainable love, which represents Charlotte's feelings for Yami.
Odd Name Out: It's one of the two squads that aren't named after an animal, the other being the Golden Dawn.
Shipper on Deck: More like a whole squad of shippers supporting Charlotte with Yami.
Something about a Rose: They're the Blue Rose Knights and their symbol is a rose. It represents their status as an essentially all-female squad.
Straw Feminist: Aside from Sol, this is subverted with the rest of the squad. Charlotte fears that they'd turn on her once she admits she loves Yami, but not only are they supportive of her for it, but they are very into romance and some of said knights have boyfriends they're secretly dating. Charlotte and Sol are genuinely surprised when they find out.
True Blue Femininity: A Magic Knight squad of mostly women known as the Blue Rose Knights.

Charlotte Roselei

Cool Beauty

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)^note

Debut: Chapter 1 (Manga), Episode 3 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Briar

"The battlefield is my partner."

A woman who dislikes men, leading the Blue Rose Knights to become a mostly female faction. Always looking calm and collected, Charlotte harbors a secret crush on Yami, causing her to completely lose her focus when she's around him.

Uses Briar Magic, which transforms her sword into a rose bush she can manipulate at will.

Affectionate Nickname: Sol refers to Charlotte as "Sis", much to the latter's chagrin. In the English dub, it's "Char".
All Amazons Want Hercules: Believed in this, thinking that no suitor who could defeat her would be strong enough to accept her curse. Fittingly, she fell in love with Yami when he saved her from her curse and told her that he liked tough girls like her, but even then she could count on others for help and not shoulder her burdens alone.
Anguished Declaration of Love: She finally confesses her love for Yami as he lies mortally wounded after the fight with Lucifero. After Yami regains consciousness, Charlotte is mortified when he vaguely recalls her saying something.
Battle Ballgown: Her True Briar Magic: Queen of Briars forms a dress out of thorns and roses that increases the power of her magic.
The Beautiful Elite: An effortlessly gorgeous noblewoman from the House of Roselei who's regarded as the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.
Beauty Equals Goodness: She's reputed as the most beautiful woman in the Clover Kingdom, and a Magic Knight captain who takes her duties very seriously.
Beneath the Mask:
- She puts up the demeanor of the cold, stern captain of the Blue Rose Knights. But around Yami, who she's in love with, on the inside she's smitten with him, wondering why she insulted him and unable to get him out of her head.
- When Yami and Vangeance are captured by the Dark Triad, she states that they were careless and calls them pathetic. To herself, she's freaking out, wondering if Yami is alive and upset that she still hasn't told him that she's in love with him.
Big Damn Heroes: Her, Nozel, and Jack arrive just in time to save some of the Black Bulls from the Third Eye's combined attack and help fight against them.
Big Sister Instinct: Although she always calls her "sis" to her annoyance, Charlotte does greatly care about Sol, who she saved when she was younger, and is very protective of her.
Blue Blood: She's a noblewoman from the House of Roselei.
Braids of Action: She has a single braid hanging down the left side of her face, and she's the Captain of an all-female squad of Magic Knights.
Breakout Character: Became a very popular character after the release of Episode 126, which was trending on US and Japanese Twitter, so much so that she ranked 3rd in the fourth popularity poll, behind only Asta and Yami and higher than main characters Yuno and Noelle.
Broken Pedestal: She fears becoming this, setting herself to a high standard to not disgrace women, what with being the Blue Rose Knights' captain. When she tries to confront her feelings for Yami, Charlotte tells her squad that she's in love with him, fully prepared to resign as her squad prides itself on the strength of women. Funnily enough, her squad members ship her and Yami after finding out and some even admit to actually have secret boyfriends.
Cannot Spit It Out: She has a very bad experience of this when it comes to the one she is in love with. When Yami only wanted to ask her about the curse she suffered from, not only did she interrupted him but also run away screaming when she thought he was about to make her confess. Eventually, she admits her love for Yami to her squad and they are supportive about it, much to her surprise. But she's still completely unable to admit it it to Yami. For added hilarity, he shows up to talk to her almost immediately afterward.
Can't Hold His Liquor: Vanessa challenges her to a drinking contest. Charlotte lasts about three drinks before passing out. The Volume 13 Questions Brigade states that she's the worst drinker of the captains.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Charlotte quickly develops a rivalry with Vanessa because she feels threatened by Yami's closeness to her. She also has a small internal Freak Out when she wonders what went on between Dorothy and Yami in her Glamour World during the Battle of the Magic Knights Squad Captains.
Color-Coded Wizardry: Her blue roses are her weakened Briar Magic from her childhood curse that she repurposed to become anti-curse spells. Her red roses are her original, stronger True Briar Magic that she regained from learning natural mana runes from training in the Heart Kingdom.
Combat Stilettos: She wears a pair of wedged greaves for footwear.
Combination Attack: When fighting against Vanica and the two Shining Generals, Rill uses his Groundswell of Su Telons: Sirens' Game to form the good mana soil and water needed for Charlotte to grow her briars.
Cool Crown: Her spell Queen of Briars forms a crown out of thorns and blue and red roses.
Covert Pervert: While at the hot springs, she imagines a naked Yami on the other side of the rock wall. She then promptly blushes and faints.
Cursed with Awesome: The curse cast on her as a child turned Charlotte's roses blue and weakened them. By mastering rune arrays, she found the true way to use her cursed briars by modifying her curse into a special anti-curse spell, giving her an advantage against Vanica.
Death Glare: She gives one to Rill at the captains' meeting when he wonders if Yami is already dead after being captured by the Dark Triad.
Does Not Like Men: She came to be unable to trust men because her many suitors were all talk who couldn't defeat her and as a result, as she believed, could never overcome her curse. The only exceptions are Yami and Julius. It seemingly became a thing in her squad because of her and Sol, with the few men who are among the Blue Rose Knights nothing more than chore boys. However, it's later revealed that her squad members support Charlotte getting together with Yami and some even have secret boyfriends.
Duality Motif: Her True Briar Magic: Queen of Briars spell forms a dress and crown out of thorns and roses with her red roses on the left side and blue roses on the right, showing how she's able to use both after the elves' reincarnation and her training.
Dude Magnet: She is famed throughout the Clover Kingdom for her looks. Flashbacks show that she had many men propose to her for her beauty and strength, turning them all down.
Elemental Barrier: She can form a large barrier of thorns out of her Briar Magic.
Elemental Eye Colors: Her eyes are blue like the color of her roses, which interestingly enough were originally red before she was cursed and had her magic weakened.
Elemental Weapon: Charlotte's Briar Magic transforms her sword into a large bush of rose thorns that can act as a whip.
Emerald Power: Her magic has a teal colour associated with it, and as captain of the Blue Roses her power is very impressive.
Even the Girls Want Her: Sol admires Charlotte's beauty, with her face blushing and nose bleeding when she sees her naked body at the hot springs.
Everyone Loves Blondes: Charlotte has long blonde hair and is famed for her beauty in the Clover Kingdom, with many men having proposed to her.
Fairytale Motifs: To Sleeping Beauty. Her magic transforms her sword into roses and thorns, her surname is "Roselei", she's famed as the kingdom's Most Beautiful Woman, and she was cursed by a witch to lose control of her magic on her eighteen birthday, with the curse only broken by falling in love.
Flower Motifs: Roses. She leads the Blue Rose Knights, her armor has gold rose designs, and her Briar Magic forms rose thorns. Her roses were originally red but after she was cursed they were permanently turned blue. The blue rose itself is a symbol of unattainable love, representing her feelings for Yami.
Flowers of Femininity: Charlotte uses Briar Magic that forms magical roses and thorns, and she's an elegant Lady of War who leads a female squad of Magic Knights.
Foil:
- To Vanessa. Vanessa was imprisoned in a cage for most of her life by her mother until Yami accidentally broke her out, with this leading her to live a life of enjoyment and carefreeness, becoming a drunk who likes flirting with men in the outside world. Charlotte was cursed as a child, which could only be broken if her heart was stolen by a man, with the repeated romantic advancements of weak male suitors leading her to become a stern Magic Knight with a strong dislike for men. They are also both renowned for their beauty, but while Vanessa flaunts her looks Charlotte doesn't care for hers. Charlotte is secretly in love with Yami and gets embarrassed about it, and Vanessa on the other hand has a close relationship with Yami and acts clingy towards him like a sister.
- To Vanica, who she battles when the Clover Kingdom's special assault force invades the Spade Kingdom. Charlotte is composed, stern, and fights out of her loyalty to the Clover Kingdom. Vanica is an enthusiastic psychopath motivated by her hate for boredom and enjoyment in fighting powerful opponents. Charlotte's coldness hides a softer side towards her subordinates, while Vanica is cruel and callous to her Dark Disciples. And while Vanica is the host of the devil Megicula, Charlotte was cursed as a child, with Megicula being the progenitor of all curse magic in the world. Charlotte tells Vanica she dislikes ridiculous women like her before restraining her in a tangle of her anti-curse briars.
Freak Out: She has a massive one when she thinks that Yami knows that she's in love with him. She leaps out of bed and runs out of her squad headquarters through the streets and crashing into houses, people, and eventually into the city river, screaming the entire time.
Garden Garment: Her True Briar Magic: Queen of Briars forms a dress and crown made of thorns with blue anti-curse roses and her original, stronger red roses through using the Heart Kingdom's rune arrays technique, complete with a thorn whip as a weapon.
Green Thumb: She uses her Briar Magic to create large rose thorns from her sword.
Handicapped Badass: The curse placed on Charlotte as a child weakened her magical strength, turning her red roses blue. In spite of this, she still managed to become a powerful Magic Knights captain without even using her true power, to Rill's surprise. After learning rune arrays in the Heart Kingdom, Charlotte is able to use her full magical power by using True Briar Magic, forming her original red roses, and discover the true potential of her cursed blue roses by making them into an anti-curse spell that absorbs an enemy's curse more with the greater strength of the curse.
Head-Turning Beauty: While in a dress with her hair let down at the Star Festival, she draws a small crowd of admirers.
Heroic Second Wind: Thanks to Rill's Twilight of Valhalla increasing her magic and making her temporarily invincible, letting Charlotte weaken Megicula's curse runes and stop her from killing Vanica and Lolopechka to complete her manifestation and fight against the devil's blood and steel corpses.
Hourglass Plot: She fell in love with Yami after he saved her from her rampaging curse and acknowledged her strength. Charlotte vows to save Yami and show him how strong she's become after he's captured by the Dark Triad to be used as a sacrifice to form the Tree of Qliphoth.
Hysterical Woman: Parodied. Whenever she's around Yami, she easily flies into hilarious hysterics if she has the slightest suspicion that he guessed out her feelings for him.
Icy Blue Eyes: Blue eyes and usually cold and collected in demeanor.
Identical Stranger: She and the female elf whom Rhya tried to go have a drink with have almost exactly the same face. Funnily enough, Rhya, upon meeting Charlotte for the first time, declares that he will beat her and take her to a bar. She's later possessed by said elf.
I Just Want to Be Badass: Her motivation in becoming a powerful Magic Knight and training hard was to become strong enough to overcome her childhood curse. Ironically, her curse was broken by Yami when he saved her, acknowledging her strength and telling Charlotte that she could rely on others for help which led her to fall in love with him.
Indifferent Beauty: She is well aware of her beauty, with many men having proposed to her, but cares very little for it and prefers wearing armor to dresses.
In-Series Nickname: Yami calls her Prickly Queen because of her Tsundere tendencies toward him while being completely unaware about her romantic feelings for him.
Instant Expert: Called a genius by Potrof for mastering rune arrays easily, with it shown in the anime that Charlotte quickly learned how to use Mana Method with ease.
Iron Lady: The cold, serious captain of an all-female Magic Knights squad. Charlotte considers her duty to the kingdom to be her greatest responsibility, being very dedicated to carrying out her duties, and has little interest in her own social life. She also has a tendency to chide her fellow captains for their decisions, which is compounded by her dislike of men.
Lady Legionnaire Wear: She wears a segmented skirt along with armor that covers her torso and legs.
Lady of War: The captain of an all-female squad and always calm and graceful on the battlefield, using Briar Magic to transform her sword into a rose bush. Her squad notes her fighting style to be very refined.
Letting Her Hair Down: After the Elf Reincarnation Arc, Charlotte wears her long blonde hair down instead of in her usual bun, and tries to be more open about her romantic feelings for Yami.
Long Hair Is Feminine: She has long blonde hair and is an elegant noblewoman who leads a female squad.
Magic Knight: She fights using Briar Magic to transform her sword into a bush of thorns.
Meaningful Name:
- Charlotte is a female derivative of the name Charles, which means strong. After being cursed, she resolved to become strong enough to break the curse herself, eventually becoming a Magic Knights captain.
- Her surname is Roselei and she uses Briar Magic that forms rose thorns, along with leading a squad known as the Blue Rose Knights.
Not So Stoic: Not long after she's introduced as the Blue Rose Knights' cold, quiet captain, it's revealed she is smitten around Yami and embarrassed within his presence.
Prim and Proper Bun: She usually wears her blonde hair in a bun, and is a stern noblewoman who leads a squad of female Magic Knights.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a scathing one to Baron Balmain for trying to make her his companion for the night at the Star Festival:
"Go with you? Did you intend to use me as some kind of ornament? And without my consent. What were you thinking? The House of Bamilton? What of it? I belong to the House of Roselei. Did you try to deal with me casually because I'm a woman? Is there a single point on which you are superior to me?"
Rescue Romance: An interesting case in that the romance is what rescues her. She was cursed by a witch to suffer Power Incontinence on her eighteenth birthday that would doom everyone around her, with her falling in love being the Curse Escape Clause. She had resolved to defeat the curse with her own power but ultimately succumbed to it. Much to her frustration, Yami of all people was the one who broke the curse.
She Cleans Up Nicely: Asta doesn't recognize her at the Star Festival after she lets her hair down and puts on a dress. She also gains a crowd of male admirers.
Silk Hiding Steel: More like Steel Hiding Silk, but she's the cool, collected captain of the Blue Rose Knights and a powerful fighter who prefers wearing armor to dresses, while still regarded as the country's most beautiful woman whose favorite things are her private garden during quiet times and Yami, who she's in love with.
Single-Target Sexuality: She fell in love with Yami when he saved her from her rampaging curse and told her that she could rely on others even if she was strong, breaking her curse. He's one of the few men that she doesn't dislike apart from Julius.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She fell in love with Yami when he saved her from her childhood curse and acknowledged her strength while also telling her that she can rely on others.
Something about a Rose: Not only is her squad's sigil a rose, but her Briar Magic turns her sword into a rose bush of thorns. Even her armor is decorated with golden rose designs.
Spirited Young Lady: When she was younger, despite being a beautiful noblewoman she turned down the proposals of many men to focus on becoming a Magic Knight strong enough to overcome her curse. Even years after her curse was broken when she fell in love with Yami, Charlotte has tried to avoid her romantic feelings and focuses on her duties as a Magic Knights captain.
Statuesque Stunner: One of the taller females in the cast at 171 cm and reputed as the kingdom's most beautiful woman.
The Stoic: Almost always cold and indifferent to others. Around Yami though, she's definitely not this, unable to keep her cool and vulnerable to freaking out.
Strong and Skilled: The guidebook gives her a 5/5 in Magic Amount and Magic Control. True to form, she has a large amount of magic power as a noblewoman captain, which is increased from being the host of an elf, and studies the Heart Kingdom's rune arrays for half a year, with even Potrof, a Spirit Guardian, calling her a genius at it. She uses her mastery of rune arrays to find the true way to use her cursed briars, making them absorb an enemy's curse more the stronger it is, and combine it with her stronger True Briar Magic red roses.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Although cold and stoic most of the time, it hides a deep infatuation for Yami that she can't be honest about and shows a softer side to her squad.
Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She prefers wearing armor to dresses and in her past she was more interested in becoming a strong Magic Knight than romance before falling in love with Yami. Despite this, she is still an effortlessly beautiful woman who is a Lady of War through and through.
Took a Level in Badass:
- Like all the humans possessed by elves, her mana gets much stronger after being the host of the soul of Charla.
- She trains in the Heart Kingdom during the six month time skip to learn natural mana runes to use True Briar Magic. And by modifying the curse on herself, she is able to turn it into an anti-curse spell which makes it effective against Vanica.
Tranquil Fury: Maintains her composure when Vanica mocks Yami for getting captured by Zenon to her while it's clear that she's very angry, and cooly tells Vanica she hates women like her before trapping her in her anti-curse briars.
True Blue Femininity: Notable in that she's a coldly elegant woman who leads the Blue Rose Knights, and her roses are blue. They were originally red but due to her family's curse they were permanently turned blue and weakened.
Tsundere: She acts cold to everyone including the love interest Yami, and is thus Prickly Queen (hence his nickname for her). However, she is privately shy and gushy in regards to him.
Uptown Girl: She, a noblewoman of the House Roselei who becomes Captain of the Blue Rose Knights squad, had fallen for Yami Sukehiro, a foreigner from another nation who went on to become Captain of Black Bulls, who saved her from her curse by a witch that required her to fall in love to break it much to her dismay.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Is in love with Yami, and shoots Rill a Death Glare when he suggests that Yami might already be dead after being captured by the Dark Triad. She later angrily glares at Vanica for mocking Yami for getting captured, with Charlotte trapping her in her magic.
Vine Tentacles: While using her spell Queen of Briars, she can form a whip of rose thorns to strike enemies with red roses or wrap them in blue roses, binding them the stronger their curse power is.
Whip Sword: She usually uses her Briar Magic to transform her sword into a bush of thorns that she uses like a bladed whip.
Wife-Basher Basher: A Rare Female Example. Charlotte saved Sol from being attacked by a group of men, which is the reason for her deep loyalty to her captain. She also uses her Briar Magic on a nobleman who wants to make her his companion for the night and grabs her arm, chiding him for wanting to make her his ornament without her consent and in a casual way at that because she's a woman.
Women Are Wiser: Thanks to being the only female captain besides Mereoleona (who was only temporarily captain while Fuegoleon was in a coma) and Dorothy (who's usually sleep), Charlotte is the most active female captain and the one who tends to chide the male captains for their rash decisions and failures.
World's Most Beautiful Woman: According to the Volume 12 Questions Brigade, Charlotte is the most beautiful woman among the characters.

She uses Earth Magic, often creating golems out of dirt and riding them into battle.

Ambiguously Brown: The only dark-skinned character in the setting, other than an unnamed Shining General of the Diamond Kingdom.

The Big Gal: Her Earth Magic gives her plenty of brute force options in a fight, most notably her Rampaging Mother Earth.
Big Sister Worship: She always refers to Charlotte as "Sis/Char" no matter how many times she is told to call her "Captain", and absolutely idolizes her.

Dishing Out Dirt: Her Earth Magic, said to have special properties that grant her great mobility.
Expy: She somewhat resembles pre-Eclipse Casca. She even claims to especially like women who have guts.
Hypocrite: For someone who hates men for being fools, it's pretty evident that she's not very bright herself.
Meaningful Name:
- "Sol" is French for "soil", which is a reference to her Earth Magic. "Sol" is also Latin for "sun", referring to her general sunny disposition and her sunburned look.

Ms. Fanservice: Her default outfit is quite revealing.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Her crying and begging Yami to save Charlotte despite her dislike for men shows just how desperate she wants to help her captain.
Rock Monster: She mostly uses her Earth Magic to create golems made of rock.

Color Motif: Green. The squad is all commoners, making them more down to earth than the rest of the Magic Knights.
Penny Among Diamonds: Among all the squads of Magic Knights, who are mostly nobles, the Green Praying Mantises are the only squad consisting only of commoners. Even the Black Bulls, the worst of the squads, have a few, admittedly disgraced, nobles and a royal among them.

Jack the Ripper

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Justin Cook (English)^note

Debut: Chapter 1 (Manga), Episode 3 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Severing

"If I'm going to fight you, it has to be when you're at your best. Otherwise it would be no fun to rip you to pieces."

A gaunt man who always keeps a sharp smile on his face, and wants to slice up powerful foes. His patience is very limited.

Uses Severing Magic to summon blades of mana on his forearms. Described as able to cut through any material, Jack can also launch these blades as projectiles.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: His magic conjures up two huge blades growing from his forearms. Blades that alter themselves on contact with an enemy's magic, meaning that they can counter any magical defense and cut through anything. Nor is he limited to cutting through physical objects, as showing when he overcomes Dante's Gravity Magic by forming blades that cut through gravity.
Adaptive Ability: His Severing Magic is this, changing the blades' nature and sharpness to whatever he's trying to cut up, allowing it to slice through Latry's Spatial Magic. As he fights Fana his blades adapt to sever her regeneration.
Animal Motifs: Mantis. He leads a squad known as the Green Praying Mantises and his magic forms blades of mana on his forearms.
Anti-Hero: Of The Nominal Hero variety. Despite being on the side of good, Jack is still a complete psychopath who loves destruction and fighting.
Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: His appearance makes him resemble a praying mantis, the symbol of his squad. He's thin, tall, wears green, and when using his Severing Magic he gains blades on his forearms that resemble the insect's forelegs. After the time skip, he wears his squad's robe in a way that resembles a mantis's wings.
Bash Brothers: With Yami. The two may argue a lot, but they're drinking buddies and acknowledge each other as worthy rivals, making them an effective duo when they fight together against Latry.
Big Damn Heroes: Him, Charlotte, and Nozel arrive just in time to save some of the Black Bulls from the Third Eye's combined attack and help fight against them.
The Big Guy: Ironically, despite being the lankiest of the captains, fits this the best when fighting with the others, having a relatively straightforward (though deceptively powerful) magic and approach to combat. His enthusiasm for combat helps in that regard.
Blade Below the Shoulder: His Severing Magic lets him conjure mana blades on his forearms that he can even launch at enemies.
Blood Knight: His biggest passion seems to be cutting down strong opponents.
Brutal Honesty: When Rill complains about his squad being last in the rankings, Jack's answer isn't very helpful:
"It's your fault for wasting time drawing stupid pictures, ya know?"
Classical Hunter: Jack grew up as one under his father, who made a living by hunting birds and small game. His father's death at the hands of the lord of the mountain, a giant bear, when he was 13 spurred Jack to kill it and join the Magic Knights to fight the strong.
Combination Attack: He has a series of these with Yami and Finral against Latry, the elf possessing Langris, with Jack and Yami slicing up Latry's Spatial Magic and Finral teleporting them.
Comedic Sociopathy:
- His bloodthirsty tendencies and threats to slice people up are always Played for Laughs. He often expresses his desire to slice up Yami.
- Jack threatens Rades and Gueldre into properly doing their clean-up work by stating that he'll slash them the next time they get noisy.
Dumb Muscle: He's a powerful Magic Knight captain with a magic meant to slice things up, but tends to think only about cutting up strong enemies and not anything else. The Volume 13 Questions Brigade ranks him as the dumbest captain.
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: He has shaggy black hair and pale skin, and is an unnerving Blood Knight with a fondness for cutting things up.
Emerald Power: His Slash Magic has a green colouration, and he is one of the deadliest combatants amongst the captains.
Expository Hairstyle Change: After the six month time skip the left side of his hair is more closely shaved.
Expy: To Nnoitra Gilga as Tabata has stated that he was inspired by Bleach. Both are similar in appearance with thin builds and medium-length black hair, and delight in combat and bloodshed. They each have a praying mantis motif and powers that let them form scythe blades to fight.
Facial Markings: He has a mark that goes from his left eye to his chin. It's not clear if it's a scar or a tattoo, though.
Fairytale Motifs: Jack is based on Jack the Giant Killer, where he was a young hunter who killed a giant bear, the lord of a mountain who killed his father, when he was 13. This event began Jack's desire to fight strong enemies, and in the chapter his backstory is revealed in he fights against Dante, who can enlarge himself using his Body Magic.
Freudian Excuse: Was taught by his father to not mess with anything that looks stronger than him. Not wanting to live a life of inferiority, this led Jack to hunt the bear that killed his father and began his desire to fight strong enemies.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Went from the son of a small game hunter who taught him not to mess with stronger creatures to a bloodthirsty captain of a Magic Knights squad. It was his desire to not continue living a nobody life that led Jack to want to slice up strong enemies and join the Magic Knights.
Green and Mean: He wears green, the color of his squad, and while a Magic Knight Captain he's still a bloodthirsty guy with a love for cutting things up.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Jack gets annoyed very easily, but like Yami his reactions are always Played for Laughs and never taken seriously.
Has a Type: According to the Volume 18 Questions Brigade, Jack likes a woman worth slashing — in his words strong enough for him to enjoy fighting.
I Regret Nothing: As he's dying, Jack tells Yami (the closest thing he's got to a friend) that his one regret is never slicing him up.
Jerkass: It's easy for him to threaten to slice up anyone. He also mocks Yuno for being afraid of the Dark Triad after losing to Zenon despite Yuno's depressed, sullen state and the fact that half his squad was killed.
Lean and Mean: While he's on the good guys' side, Jack's still a lanky Blood Knight who stands at 197 cm (6'7") and wants to slice people up.
Lightning Bruiser: Jack is very agile, using his magic to boost the strength of his legs to move at incredible speed, and can slice almost anything with his blades.
Maniac Tongue: He often lets his long tongue hanging out to go, a sign that he's a bloodthirsty fighter. Sometimes he'll run it along his blades when he really wants to cut someone up.
Meaningful Name:
- Crossed with Names to Run Away from Really Fast. He doesn't kill prostitutes, but he otherwise shares a lot with his namesake, being a sociopathic individual with a desire to cut up others.
- His name also comes from Jack the Giant Killer, who his backstory is based off of.
Mundane Utility: A festival episode shows him using his blades to cut meat for customers at his food stand.
Named After Somebody Famous: He's named after Jack the Ripper, the infamous, unidentified serial killer in London in 1888.
Overly-Long Tongue: It's always hanging out his mouth. Sometimes he even runs his tongue along his blades when he's especially bloodthirsty.
Personality Powers: Can grow magical blades from his body and likes to slice strong foes up. As a child, he grew up as a hunter and slashed up creatures weaker than himself.
Pet the Dog: Despite being a bloodthirsty jerk, Jack gains a respect for Magna after he defeats Dante in spite of being a peasant, deciding to cut down a regenerated Dante after him, Luck, and Asta have already gone ahead to not rain on his victory.
The Rival: Is this to Yami. They turn anything they do into a competition, like fighting, drinking, and selling food.
Signature Laugh: "Kah, Kah".
Sinister Scythe: The blades formed from his Severing Magic resemble the curved blades of a scythe. His spells are named "Death Scythe".
Slasher Smile: His default expression is a maniacal-looking grin, and is always looking to cut up powerful foes.
Slaying Mantis: Jack is the leader of the Green Praying Mantises and looks the part with his thin body, green clothing, and magic that forms scythe blades on his forearms. He's also a bloodthirsty fighter who wants to slice strong opponents, allies or not.
Sociopathic Hero: He is the captain of a Magic Knights squad, but has a desire to cut up strong opponents, even allies.
Spikes of Doom: While fighting Dante with Nacht, he manipulates blades on the surface of his body and sharpens them, letting him cut through Dante's Gravity Magic and injure him.
Spin Attack: Jack can spin around while using his Severing Magic to become a spinning wheel that slices targets in its path.
Supernatural Gold Eyes: He has gold eyes. They fit with his look as an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette but also being a powerful Magic Knight captain.
Sword Beam: His magic can unleash flying slashes of mana that slice whatever's in their path.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Yami and Jack squabble with each other often and try to outdo one another, but are still drinking buddies and acknowledge each other as worthy rivals. So much so that when Yami is captured by the Dark Triad, Jack is very adamant on rescuing him.
Worf Effect:
- Jack gets sent flying into a wall by the twin devils, the first devils to appear from the Tree of Qliphoth, just to show how strong the high-ranking devils emerging from the Tree of Qliphoth will be. And this is after he managed to wound Dante, with it stated that the weakest of the devils are just as strong as the Dark Triad.
- Morgen Faust, brought back by Lucius as a Paladin, tears a hole through Jack and lops his arm off, taking him out of the fight instantly. And unlike with Dante and the devils, Jack doesn't even manage to get a single attack off before he's downed.

Sekke Bronzazza

Voiced by: Ryōta Ōsaka (Japanese), Garret Storms (English)^note

Debut: Chapter 2 (Manga), Episode 4 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Bronze

"Bah-hah!"

An opportunistic jerkass who attempts to join the Magic Knights by making Asta look bad. After being put in his place, he outgrows a touch of the jerk and becomes a washed-up loser and hopeless womanizing gambler.

Uses Bronze Magic, using Bronze to manipulate and create objects. Can notably grant them a poisonous side-effect.

Affectionate Nickname: Asta calls him "Bah-hah" after his laugh.
Agony of the Feet: A bandit stabbed him through his boot and sock with a poisoned knife after being run over. It wasn't as bad as it appeared to be and Sekke overreacted.
Animal Motifs: Insects, given his squad and the fact that he is one of the weakest recurring characters in the story. In terms of power and character.
Barrier Warrior: His signature magic is a spherical shield adorned with spiked protrusions resembling cannons. So far, he's never gotten the chance to show what it does besides block attacks.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Sekke wants to be a high-ranking Magic Knight to gain the fame and praise he desires despite being a total weakling. He gets his wish when he accidentally "saves" King Augustus during the elves' invasion and spends six months living it up, but it backfires horribly on him when the king forces him to join the assault force against the Spade Kingdom.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Initially appearing to be nice and friendly, he reveals to Asta that he was simply using the latter as a mean to make himself look good. This is subverted when he manages to be somewhat likable after Asta beats him and yells at him for trying to pass on one of his dreams when he thought he was going to die from a poison that turned out to be a simple numbing agent.
Break the Haughty: He tries to act like he's a big shot and is definitely rude. However, he's such a Butt-Monkey that you can't help but feel sorry for him.
Butt-Monkey: Nothing goes well for him, ever. If he appears, something bad will happen to him, without fail. It seemed like he was getting better in the tournament, being able to meaningfully contribute to his team's victories, but then Finral teleported him to the bathroom stall where Yami was taking a shit and, well...
Casanova Wannabe:
- He has tried to woo Noelle and Vanessa a couple of times. It never works.
- At the mixer he goes to, the girls are very put-off by his false boasting and leave soon after.
Character Development:
- Even he knew he didn't deserve to get promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight for (accidentally) saving the king's life during the Elf Invasion arc, a far cry from his overconfident beginnings.
- Seeing Asta, a peasant with zero magic, continue to fight against Lucifero despite still being completely trashed, makes Sekke finally realize he's been making excuses for himself all this time, questioning why he never tried to get stronger.
- In chapter 362, he stays behind to fight Lucius's Paladins so citizens could escape, getting back up despite outmatched and injured. It's also shown that he trained in order to become stronger after being inspired by Asta.
Color-Coded Eyes: He has green eyes and is jealous, but also playful and flirty.
Cool Bike: He can create one with his spell Shooting Star. Subverted, as everyone In-Universe comments on how tacky it looks.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Asta defeats him in about three seconds.
Death Equals Redemption: Parodied. When he's apparently on the verge of dying from poison, he entrusts his dreams to Asta, finally making peace with the fact that Asta defeated him... except he wasn't anywhere close to dying. He soon goes back to being the same asshole in no time.
Death Glare: He was on the receiving end of this by all of the Magic Knight captains when he gets his promotion that he doesn't deserve from King Augustus Kira Clover, and it comically freaks him out in Episode 153.
Dirty Coward: A weakling with an ego that gets tempered over time, and one to bail when the situation gets bad. After seeing Lucifero utterly defeat the captains, he tries to escape with Mimosa. Seeing Asta get up despite not being in any shape to fight after being wrecked by Lucifero makes Sekke realize he should have gotten stronger too, crying profusely.
Extra-ore-dinary: He uses Bronze Magic, for both attack and defense.
Everyone Has Standards: He's dismayed when it seems that Asta is going to be ruled against and executed, and extremely relieved when the Black Bulls save him.
Fake Ultimate Hero: The King lauds Sekke for saving his life during the Elf Reincarnation Arc and makes him his bodyguard. Sekke's not about to tell him that he only bumped him out of the way without knowing he was there. He is definitely regretting it when he's chosen to be part of the assault force that will attack the Spade Kingdom among much stronger mages like the captains.
The Hedonist: He enjoys gambling and flirting with girls, and cares only about his own comfort, wanting to enter the Magic Knights to live a cushy lifestyle.
Humble Pie: Sekke comes to realize that he's a big-talking jackass quite easily. That doesn't stop him from trying to save face.
Hypocrite: Doesn't want people to view him like a bug, but views commoners and the forsaken as such, if not worse. At least until karma comes knocking.
It's All About Me: His initial attitude and motivations. However, he later shows this isn't entirely true when push comes to shove.
Jaded Washout: The result of being bested by Asta was that he went from having good prospects for the Magic Knights to a total loser — in his own eyes, anyway.
Laser-Guided Karma:
- Wanted to become a Magic Knight, but was adamant about not being in the Green Praying Mantises because he hated the idea of being viewed as a bug. Also, he gets poisoned by a bandit after he tried to poison Asta.
- He wanted to get recognition and merit as a Magic Knight despite being a weakling. He gains the king's favor when he accidentally saves him during the elves' invasion, to the point that he's chosen to be part of the elite force that will attack the Spade Kingdom.
Meaningful Name: His magic attribute is bronze and his last name is Bronzazza.
Miles Gloriosus: Brags about his role in the royal capital's invasion, even though he wasn't even seen at the scene, and later proves to be a coward during the Magic Knights' attack on Vetto.
Mistaken for Badass: He's credited by the king for saving his life, when he was fleeing the Royal Capital on his motorcycle and the king accidentally landed on him. So much so that he garners the king's praise as a powerful mage, with Episode 153 of the anime having Sekke promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight. This bites Sekke in the ass hard when he's chosen, alongside Magic Knights captains, to be part of the assault force that will attack the Spade Kingdom.
Overly-Nervous Flop Sweat: He can be seen sweating profusely with a look of nervousness on his face when he's seen as part of the assault force against the Spade Kingdom.
Overranked Soldier: Thanks to gaining King Augustus's favor when he accidentally "saves" him during the elf invasion and is mistaken by him to be a powerful mage, Episode 153 has him promoted to be a 1st Class Senior Magic Knight despite being a pathetic weakling, and he is chosen to be part of the special force that will retaliate against the Spade Kingdom to his utter fear.
Perma-Stubble: When he becomes a member of the guild he wants to be in the least of all, he goes from a clean-faced smooth operator to wallowing and disheveled, and his face shows it.
Really Gets Around: Implied. Sekke goes on a lot of dates and after the Time Skip we see him longingly reminiscing about the time he spent "living it up" under the king's service, as a panel shows him with A Lady on Each Arm.
The Resenter: He resents Asta for defeating him effortlessly, and Yuno for stopping him getting revenge on Asta.
Running Gag: People calling him "Fuh-hah" and him (unsuccessfully) trying to get them to use his real name.
Signature Laugh: "Fuh-hah!"/"Bah-hah!" It doubles as a Catchphrase, because he (apparently inadvertently) inserts it into his sentences and exclamations.
Signed Up for the Dental: Initially joined the Magic Knights so he could live a comfortable life.
Sore Loser: He tries to cripple Asta with a poisonous lizard spell after Asta utterly curb-stomps him in the exams. Later on, when Asta and Yuno are being publicly celebrated as the best members of the two highest-scoring Magic Knight squads, Sekke calls out that they're both just peasants with awful magic. Asta and Yuno both soon make him shut up by displaying their powers in front of the crowd.
Tempting Fate:
- When he said he didn't want to be in the Green Praying Mantis guild and acted like a dick to Asta, it was now the only possibility.
- He thinks that his luck is finally turning around after he protects King Augustus from an elf. Then a group of anti-monarchist mages try to kill them.
Terrible Trio: Forms one with two other guys, who accompany him on his date and go with him to the beach to get some girls. They, like Sekke, are complete losers.
Took a Level in Badass: He violently fights off Lucius's Angels in order to protect defenseless citizens, despite being vastly outmatched.
Took a Level in Kindness: He's still annoying after Asta gives him a taste of Humble Pie, but he isn't nearly as crappy a person.

Voiced by: Satoshi Hino (Japanese), Jim Foronda (English)

Debut: Chapter 120 (Manga), Episode 73 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Fungus

"Big brothers exist to protect the younger, weaker siblings who are born after them."

En's sickly appearance is a facade for a surprisingly determined and energetic Magic Knight. He'll always protect his teammates, whatever the cost.

En uses Fungus Magic. This branch of magic creates sentient, talking mushrooms with cartoonish faces, which can inflict a variety of ailments or protect their creator and his friends.

Big Brother Instinct: He believes that protecting one's younger siblings is the duty of the elder sibling and for this reason he scorns Solid for doing the opposite. He himself has ten younger siblings.
Blood Knight: Noelle notes that he is far more energetic during battle, at least when speaking through his mushrooms.
Creepy Good: He has this lanky and grungy look to him, speaks in something of a monotone and grows mushrooms on people but turns out to be a nice guy and protective brother figure.
Curtains Match the Windows: Green hair and green eyes.
Elemental Eye Colors: He has green eyes and uses Fungus Magic to form mushrooms.
Elemental Hair Colors: His long, unkempt green hair fits well with his Fungus Magic.
Elemental Motifs: Mushrooms, befitting his quiet and kind demeanour that masks a scarily competent combatant.
Hidden Depths: Despite his weak, sickly appearance, he had an aggressive side that he manifests through his mushrooms.
Massive Numbered Siblings: He has 10 younger siblings, believing an older sibling's duty is to protect their younger ones.
Meaningful Name: His surname is French for "old-fashioned". It's not a bad meaning, as he holds what some could call an old belief that older siblings should protect their younger siblings. Ringard can also mean "uncool". He has a messy, sickly looking appearance.
Messy Hair: His long green hair is very disheveled.
Nice Guy: He's very kind, being protective of his teammates and giving Noelle comforting words after witnessing Solid's bullying.
Plant Mooks: Can create sentient mushrooms as part of his Fungus Magic. He's been shown creating mushrooms that release weakening spores, talking mushrooms, a running mushroom that carries him, and a giant mushroom.
Status Effects: His mushrooms can release spores that weaken others.
Younger Than They Look: Despite his haggard appearance, he's actually only 24.

Rill Boismortier

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese), Derick Snow (English)

Debut: Chapter 2 (Manga), Episode 3 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Picture

"Let's draw it together! The ultimate painting!"

The Captain of the Aqua Deer. An eccentric young boy whose great magic powers allowed him to quickly climb the ranks towards captain at the age of 19, making him the youngest Magic Knight captain.

Uses Picture Magic, capable of creating anything by making a painting of it. As a result, Rill stands amongst the very few mages capable of wielding several types of elemental magic.

Amazon Chaser: He falls in love with Charmy after she defeated him in a fight.
Anime Hair: His hair is unusually spiked and also unusually shaped, looking like a pine tree.
Art Attacker: He has Picture Magic, turning his paintings into attacks. The more inspired he is the more powerful spells he can paint.
Attack Reflector: His spell Game of the Gods paints a beaded deity who sends back spells fired at him. He was inspired to make this spell after seeing Zora fight.
Beast with a Human Face:
- One of his strongest spells is Scream of the Mystical Dragon Vouivre, drawing a wyvern with the head and torso of a woman.
- He can also paint a harpy that he rides to fly through the air.
Beware the Nice Ones: Despite his friendliness, he is a Captain and can be quite destructive. After he received his grimoire, he spent all his time painting, lashing out with his magic when people couldn't understand his art. He got better thanks to his butler Walter.
Blood Knight: An interesting example. He enjoys fighting if he gets to see powerful spells which provide inspiration for his art.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He loves painting to the point of shirking his duties, but he's still a powerful mage with an extremely versatile magic who became a Captain at 19. So much so that he accidentally destroys his team's crystal from emitting so much magic power out of excitement from fighting Yuno, causing them to lose the match.
Cloudcuckoolander: Extremely eccenctric, leaving most people who meet him reasonably flabbergasted. That being said, he is capable of displaying normal emotions and still cares about his squad's reputation.
Combination Attack: When fighting against Vanica and the two Shining Generals, Rill uses his Groundswell of Su Telons: Sirens' Game to form the good mana soil and water needed for Charlotte to grow her briars.
Ditto Fighter: He creates new spells by being inspired by others fighting. He bases his Game of the Gods off of Zora's reflective Trap Magic.
Elemental Powers: He can use any element that he can paint. Best seen with his spell "Twin Storms of Fire and Ice" which creates two twisters of the different elements.
Emotional Powers: Because his magic is based on his imagination, happiness gives Rill more fuel while negative emotions like frustration restrain it.
Expository Hairstyle Change: His hair becomes shorter after the six month time skip he spends training in the Heart Kingdom.
Harmful Healing: What his Twilight of Valhalla amounts to. With it activated, his allies are temporarily invincible but will have the damage return to them when the spell is over within a few minutes.
Has a Type: According to the Volume 18 Questions Brigade, he is attracted to someone who would stimulate his creative drive. He falls for a more mature-looking Charmy, who inspires Rill to draw and become a powerful Magic Knight captain.
Hopeless Suitor: Rill ends up unknowingly falling in love with Charmy, who's already infatuated with Yuno.
Imagination-Based Superpower: Because his magic is based on creating paintings, Rill is only limited by his creativity. He's been seen casting wells, a wooden multi-headed snake, and a harpy. Rill notes that the more inspired he is the stronger his magic is.
Improbable Age: He is only 19, but managed the reach the rank of captain. Asta is surprised by seeing such a young man as a captain.
Inconsistent Spelling: His name is sometimes written as Rill, sometimes as Lil. The official translation uses "Rill"
Instant Expert: He effortlessly learns to use natural mana rune arrays, with Potrof noting that he and Charmy are geniuses.
Instant Runes: After training in the Heart Kingdom, he learns to use spell arrays, increasing the power of his elemental paintings.
Living Drawing: His Picture Magic manifests drawings of creatures that he draws.
Longing Look: He has this at the Magic Knights Captain Meeting while thinking about Charmy, who he fell in love when she became more mature-looking while using her Food Magic. A spectator in the crowd and his butler Walter can even tell that Rill is in love.
Mad Artist: He uses to be this, lashing out destructively with his magic whenever people couldn't understand his artwork. After his butler Walter slapped him and told him to understand others so that they could understand him, he was encouraged to become a Magic Knight to reach his full potential.
Magic Enhancement: His Twilight of Valhalla spell turns out to be this, boosting the magic of companions within its range and making them invincible for a few minutes, with the damage returning once it's over.
Magic Wand: Given that his magic revolves around painting, his paintbrush functions as this.
Meaningful Name:
- Rill is only one letter off from the word "thrill", which describes his cheerfulness and search for artistic inspiration well.
- His surname comes from a fellow artist, in this case the music composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier.
Named After Someone Famous: His last name comes from Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, a French baroque composer.
Nice Guy: Rill can be eccentric and childish at times, but he proves to be a very friendly and polite man, as best seen with his conversations with Asta and Yuno.
Older Than They Look: With his youthful appearance and eccentric personality, most wouldn't expect him to be 19.
Physical God:
- His spell "God's Play" has him paint the titular large bearded god, who redirects an attack sent at him back to the caster.
- "Master of Valhalla" forms a giant Nordic god out of paint to attack Megicula's corpses with tempests and backup Noelle and Charlotte.
The Power of Love: After unknowingly falling in love with Charmy, who rescued him while she used her Food Magic, Rill gains an unstoppable urge to create paintings whenever he thinks of her, and has dedicated himself to becoming a man strong enough for her.
Rescue Romance: He falls for Charmy, who saves him after he is taken over by an elf. Because she looks different when using her Food Magic, Rill doesn’t recognize her and doesn’t believe Asta when he tells the truth.
Sharing a Body: He has the soul of an elf named Lira, who seems to be friends with Rhya..
Took a Level in Badass:
- Like all the humans possessed by elves, his mana gets much stronger after being the host of the soul of Lira.
- He learns how to create a magical array from Potrof during the six month time skip, enhancing his Picture Magic with runes made of natural mana.
Young and in Charge: And pretty much acts like a kid, as shown when he tugs on Asta after finding out that his squad was last place in the rankings.

Dorothy Unsworth

Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese), Jad Saxton (English)

Debut: Chapter 2 (Manga), Episode 3 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Dream

"Just leave it to me! Your big sister here is a captain, after all!"

The captain of the Coral Peacocks. A woman who spends all her time asleep. Her feats are a mystery to many and some wonder how she became a Magic Knight. When awake, she has a surprisingly bright and playful personality.

Her magic is Dream Magic, allowing her to pull victims into a dream-like world which creates anything that she imagines.

Animal Motifs: Reve uses a tapir to attack the Black Bulls while controlling Dorothy's body, and Dorothy is depicted with a giant tapir on the cover page of Chapter 222, which is fitting for her powers over dreams and cute appearance.
Big Sleep: Enemies who stay in her Glamour World become more drowsy, and die if they fall asleep.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Due to being asleep almost all the time, her Vice Captain Kirsch essentially takes up all her duties. Despite this, when awake she proves herself to be a powerful mage with her Dream Magic, trapping enemies in her Glamour World where she imagines anything that she thinks about.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's weird and spends most of her time asleep, and even when she's awake she has a really playful and energetic personality, but she can back that Captain title up with her extremely powerful Dream Magic.
Cheery Pink: Dorothy wears the pink cloak of her squad the Coral Peacocks and has a matching pink witch hat. When she's awake, she's a cheerful, energetic woman.
Cool Big Sis: She's actually 27 despite her personality and appearance, calling herself this to the Black Bulls when she appears in Reve's Glamour World, telling them to leave it to her.
Cute Witch: She is really cute and dresses like a witch, with a hat included. Just like Vanessa, she hails from the Forest of Witches.
Dream Land: Her Glamour World is this, being a dream world with a large bed and fantastical elements floating around like giant toys, plushes, and buildings where Dorothy creates anything that she imagines while she's in it.
Dream Weaver: She uses her Dream Magic to create anything that she imagines in her Glamour World, such as infinite water that perpetually spawns blade-fish, gigantic sword-wielding knights, and a floating boat to ride.
Eyes Always Shut: Since she appears to be always sleeping.
Foil: To Vanessa. As Sally notes, they're both witches with amazing powers — Vanessa's Thread Magic able to change fate and Dorothy's Dream Magic that imagines whatever she thinks of in her Glamour World. They are also Brilliant, but Lazy in different ways, Vanessa is a lazy drunk while Dorothy is usually sleeping. Visually they contrast as well. Vanessa is a Hot Witch dressed in revealing clothing in red-violet colors. Dorothy is a Cute Witch with a petite figure despite her age who wears more classical witch clothing in pink-purple shades.
The Gadfly: She is this to Noelle by making Asta and Nozel in her Glamour World be openly affectionate with her to tease her, being amused by her flustered reactions.
Genki Girl: Dorothy's real personality when she's awake has her unexpectedly chipper, crazy peppy, cheerful, and outgoing. Everyone finds it rather jarring.
Heavy Sleeper: She's asleep almost all the time, and doesn't wake up during the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, from a loud crowd at the Star Festival, or her fellow captains arguing.
Hyperspace: Her Glamour World can function as this, able to store buildings, injured people, and enemies that she imprisons.
Imagination-Based Superpower: Anything that she imagines in her Glamour World becomes real with all the properties that it would have in the real world, like flaming tigers, giant knights, and butterflies. However, her magic also manifests anything that can be unintentionally imagined too, so she can unintentionally imagine an exit door out of her Glamour World if someone gets her to.
Meaningful Name:
- Dorothy like the girl from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz who ends up in a fantasyland. Her Dream Magic forms a colorful dream world affected by her imagination.
- The "worth" in Unsworth means enclosure, and Dorothy can create her Glamour World, a space where she can trap enemies inside, store whatever she needs, and manifest anything that she imagines.
Nice Girl: She's actually a very, very nice and cheerful person when you see her true self.
Older Than They Look: She looks a lot younger than her age of 27.
Passed in Their Sleep: The end-result for enemies who are trapped in her Glamour World for too long, gradually becoming drowsier until they sink into the sleep of death.
Phlebotinum Overload: Dorothy and Reve's fight has them imagining too many creations, causing the Glamour World to collapse and Reve to be ejected outside where Magna and Luck defeat her.
Pink Means Feminine: She always wears pink clothes. She's also a cheerful Genki Girl when awake.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Dorothy's height is 145 cm^note4'9" but she has a powerful magic that can create giant monsters in her Glamour World.
Purple Is Powerful: Her hair is purple and her Dream Magic, which has a purple-pink hue, is very powerful, able to manifest anything she imagines while inside it and killing enemies trapped inside it for too long.
Reality Warper:
- Her Glamour World spell grants her this ability through Imagination-Based Superpower to some extent, as it can create anything she imagines without being able to manage it fully inside her Dream Land.
- To an extent Dorothy can do this in the real world as well with her magic, making giant blocks of stone dissipate with a simple finger-snap.
Secret-Keeper:
- She also knows what really killed Acier as Nozel told her and she's immune to the devil's curse because of her Dream Magic, so she's able to speak its name without dying as long as she's in her world.
- Played for Laughs when Dorothy tells Noelle that her secret crush on Asta is safe with her in her Glamour World.
Sharing a Body: She shares it with an elf named Reve.
The Slacker: She is almost always sleeping, leaving her vice captain Kirsch with all the work she should be doing as captain of the Coral Peacocks.
Sleepwalking: She has a degree of consciousness while asleep. She's still able to walk fine by herself and votes in the Magic Knights Entrance Exam.
Superpower Lottery: Considering the characteristics of her very powerful magic, which creates anything she imagines, will kill her enemies if they're inside it for too long, and allows her to avoid a high-ranking devil's curse, one could say that she won big.
Technicolor Eyes: When awake, she's shown to have irises that are blue and pink.
Token Mini-Moe: She's the smallest captain and she stands out as being very cute compared to her peers, especially for being always asleep. It's hard to believe that she's actually 27 with her demeanor and appearance. Blatantly lampshaded by Charmy when she states her age:
"She took my 'Lolita character who's actually older' spot!"
What Beautiful Eyes!: She's noted to have beautiful eyes once she's awake by a spectator at the Magic Knights Captain meeting.
Witch Classic: She uses a more colorful palette than what's typical, but she fits the visuals perfectly, down to the hat. She's even from the Forest of Witches.
The Worf Effect: Despite her Dream Magic, Dorothy still gets easily overwhelmed by Morris, who calls her magic magnificent and says it would be invincible, if Lucifero's devil power didn't make his Modification Magic able to affect intangible concepts that is. Lucifero himself can even knock her off before or magic activates.

Kirsch Vermillion

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Kyle Igneczi (English)

Debut: Chapter 113 (Manga), Episode 73 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Cherry Blossom

"Go forth! Walk the flowery path to our triumph...!"

The vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks. The brother of Mimosa Vermillion, he's a shallow man obsessed with beauty. As such, he has a huge hatred of commoners, or more accurately, of anybody and anything that is not up to par with his standards. His skills, though, are undisputed, and his magical insight is his best asset.

He uses Cherry Blossom Magic, manipulating huge amounts of cherry blossom petals to create clones, obfuscate enemies and conjure up whole blizzards.

Agent Peacock: His strength in battle is directly proportional to his flamboyance.
Annoying Younger Sibling: Inverted. He is Mimosa's annoying older brother and she is mortified by his flamboyance.
Awesomeness by Analysis: He analyzes Magna and Sol's battle techniques and comes up with ways to improve them in a couple of minutes.
Beauty Equals Goodness: A believer in this. He's disgusted by anything that he finds "ugly", like peasants and Asta's muscles.
Beware the Silly Ones: His quirky behavior doesn't change the fact that he is a vice-captain.
Bishie Sparkle: He has these from time to time to make it known that he's very aware that he's a Bishōnen.
Black Sheep: Kirsch is this for the Vermillion family. While his sister Mimosa is one of the kindest people in the entire kingdom and his cousins Fuegoleon, Mereoleona and Leopold don't care about social status, Kirsch is more of a typical noble who despises all commoners. Even after he realizes the error of his ways, Kirsch is still the odd one out in the family, because he's also a hammy beauty-obsessed goofball, while the other Vermillions are very serious-minded.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: For all his posing, narcissism and Large Ham tendencies, he is a genuinely badass Magic Knight and competent vice-captain.
Campy Combat: A vain royal obsessed with beauty, detesting things he finds ugly like muscles and peasants. He's dressed in his squad's pink robes and uses Cherry Blossom Magic, forming enough pink petals to cover a battlefield and describing his magic as "beautiful".
Character Development: He appears to have developed past his Fantastic Racism towards commoners after the Royal Knights tournament, both by being defeated by some, having to work with some and having Mimosa spell out to him that she thinks he is a jerk.
Curtains Match the Windows: His eyes are the same color as his vermillion hair.
The Dandy: Very much so with his love of things he finds beautiful and vanity. So much that he chose to join the Coral Peacocks instead of the Crimson Lion Kings, the squad closely associated with his family, because he liked their robes.
Defeat Means Friendship: More or less. At the end of their match, he admits to Mimosa that the fight was beautiful and has gained some respect for commoners.
Expository Hairstyle Change: As a means to showcase his Character Development, Kirsch cuts his hair before officially joining the Royal Knights.
Family Theme Naming: Kirsch is the name of a type of fruit brandy, similar to how Mimosa is the name of a cocktail.
Fatal Flaw: Kirsch has two: his first flaw is his immense Pride and his second flaw is his prejudice towards commoners. Both combine when he refuses to admit that magicless peasant Asta could be a threat and ditches his own teammates after learning of their equally humble backgrounds. He ends up diving straight into Asta's team trap. Even when he is bailed out of there, he's so frantic he can't fight properly.
The Fighting Narcissist: One thing he is very proud of is the beauty of his Cherry Blossom Magic. One of the reasons he dislikes Asta so much is because of the fact that he has no magic and makes up for it with his incredible musculature, considering it ugly.
Flower Motifs: His Cherry Blossom reflects his beautiful appearance and flamboyant nature, with him directing the usual admiration for such petals towards himself.
Humiliation Conga: It starts with Asta dispelling his petal fog he has covered the entire battlefield with. Then he learns his teammates were commoners the entire time, causing him to ditch them to face Asta's team on his own. They manage to catch him off guard, with a non-magical trap no less and gets Asta's anti-magic sword to the face for good measure. He has to be rescued from there by Sol, goes back to the fight, is hit with the sword in the face again and his team's crystal is destroyed.
Important Haircut: Kirsch cuts his long hair short after he changes his outlook on commoners and peasants.
Jerkass Has a Point: Vain and insulting he can be, the advice he gives Magna and Sol are genuinely helpful in teaching them to make better use of their magic.
Lack of Empathy: Years ago, he saw a Street Urchin stealing food and concluded that poor people were just ugly on the inside.
Large Ham: His default mode is giving passionate speeches about beauty while posing dramatically the entire time. This doesn't change at all even after he stops looking down on commoners. As a result, his sister still finds him annoying.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He has long vermillion hair tied in a ponytail, and if anything is too aware that he's a pretty boy.
Meaningful Name: His first name is almost identical to "Kirsche", meaning "Cherry" in German.
Petal Power: He has Cherry Blossom magic, able to form giant storms of sharp petals.
Royal Blood: A member of the Vermillion family, who are of royal lineage.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: A member of the Vermillion family and a vice captain of a Magic Knights squad.
Self-Duplication: He can use his magic to make clones out of cherry blossoms.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Mimosa is kind to everyone regardless of their background and is very down to earth. Kirsch, on the other hand, is disgusted by peasants and very flashy, always raving about his beauty. Whenever they're together, Mimosa is always annoyed by her older brother's flamboyance.
Smarter Than You Look: As flamboyant and vain as he may be, he's still a Vice Captain who does most of his squad's duties in place of Dorothy. He uses his clones to critique Magna and Sol's fighting styles and gives meaningful advice.
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: His magic creates flower petals, which is fancy and flamboyant - and creates a mess around him when they gather on the floor. Mimosa had to clean them up, and she actually gets pissed at him when the subject comes up.
Took a Level in Kindness: After being defeated by Asta and witnessing him fight Magna as well, he develops some respect for commoners and begins treating them more kindly.
Upper-Class Twit: He's a royal, as well as a flamboyant fop who believes that all commoners are ugly for their low mana and has a distaste for hard training.
