|
The secret, magical branch of the Church of England. Formerly an anti-magic organization founded by the English Puritans, it is now a magical organization that defends Britain from magical threats.
open/close all folders Index Librorum Prohibitorum Archbishop Laura Stuart  Laura Stuart is the Archbishop of Necessarius and also the English Anglican Church. Despite being the Archbishop, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl with long blonde hair that's 2.5 times her height; other than that, few details about her are known.
- Adult Child: For all her mind-games and grand plots, most of the time you'll find her acting her appearance instead of her age.
- Ambiguously Evil: She's done just as many evil deeds as she has good ones. It's hard to say whether she's a good person, a bad one or simply a neutral one.
Stiyl: ""No one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values. The hidden dragon among magicians, she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply." - Batman Gambit: She knows very well which strings she should pull to control her subordinates.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She may look like a sweet, innocent teenager but people have to remember that she's the Archbishop of Necessarius. She's not afraid to use the powers bestowed upon her to eliminate her enemies in whatever means, all while she's smiling at you.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite how childishly she acts, there's a reason she's the Archbishop.
- The Chessmaster: She's capable of regularly matching wits with and sometimes even out-maneuver Aleister Crowley. If that doesn't qualify you nothing will.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Ditzy, somewhat absentminded, and goofy. They doesn't stop her from being an extraordinarily cunning bitch.
- Dissonant Serenity
- Manipulative, Magnificent Bitch How magnificent is she? Let's start with the Book of Law incident.*
First, she asks the Knights of England for help to rescue Orsola Aquinas from the Amakusa Catholics, Kaori Kanzaki's former group. The Knights, being prideful jerkassess (Necessarius and the Knights have a uneasy relationship) decide to rescue Orsola all by themselves and kill the Amakusas. Unfortunately, Kaori doesn't take this too kindly and beats the crap outta them. Later, Laura sends Stiyl, Touma and Index to help Agnese and her battle nuns rescue Orsola. But then it is revealed the battle nuns came to kill Orsola as she knows how decode the Book of Law, so we assume Laura wants Orsola because of that. However by the end of incident, it is revealed Laura wasn't after Orsola but the Amakusas themselves, who by now have joined Necessarius for protection for their actions against Agnese's nuns and the Roman Catholic Church. The reason? By having the Amakusas under her control, Laura makes sure that Kaori remains loyal to Necessarius and has incentive not to betray them. Another plus for her? Not only did she gain a skilled decoder (despite her not actually being able to decode the Book all along), she even humiliated the Knights and gained the favor of the Queen! - As Stiyl eloquently describes it: "...You bitch."
- Odd Friendship: With Queen Elizard.
- Older than They Look: Her appearance hasn't change that much since ten years ago.
- Rapunzel Hair
- Running Gag: Is only shown once in the anime, but in the novels, Laura would often have her serious conversations derailed by the person in question awkwardly asking her why her japanese sounds so weird (all thanks to Tsuchimikado teaching her japanese). In a very awkward moment, Aleister even offered to send a japanese teacher to help her out.
Stiyl — "...don’t tell me you used such a stupid way of speaking to negotiate with the representatives from Academy City." - Stuff Blowing Up: How she escapes being tied up in Windsor Castle.
- Telepathy: She possesses charms which facilitate this effect.
Stiyl Magnus Fortis931 — I Prove Why My Name is the Strongest Here A sorcerer from Necessarius. His sorcery name is Fortis931. He’s an extremely heavy smoker, and claims a world without nicotine would be hell. He specializes in using runes to invoke his power over fire. He has a short temper but is actually very kind, as he cares about Index very much and used to travel around the world by her side when she copied the original grimoires into her mind. His failure to save her life without taking away her memories is his greatest regret.
Kaori Kanzaki  An eighteen-year-old magician from Necessarius. Unlike her partner Stiyl, she uses magic to magically strengthen her body. Her sorcery name is Salvare000. She uses a two-meter-long nodachi called "Seven Heavens Seven Swords" as her weapon, and she has a special attack called Nanasen (Seven Flashes) that uses her sword and thin steel wires. Not only is Kaori a skilled swordswoman, but she’s a Catholic Saint possessing the "Stigma", the ability to call upon God's power.

She’s also deeply worried about Touma, who solved her personal problems for her and made her a Defrosting Ice Queen.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Being a Saint, her enemies will think many times before fighting her.
- Nerves of Steel
- Never Live It Down: In-universe; when she meets up with Touma in Volume 17, the only thing he could associate her with was the "Fallen Angel Erotic Maid" costume that she wore off-screen.

In vol 8, she managed to attack 21 individual, airborne targets in the span of a second, and even then she held back so she won't accidentally kill them.

- The Worf Effect: She seems to be used as a measuring stick for other more powerful characters and thus doesn't seem to get to win fights very much.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: She doesn't quite make it but in the side stories it's clear that she's trying to be as much like this as she can.
- Younger than They Look: In Volume 7, Touma flatly disbelieves the idea that she’s only eighteen. She might have found it an acceptable error if he hadn't gone for the opposite end of the spectrum when guessing her age.
