At a glance, Saiki looks suspiciously like Ash Crimson , but with some key differences. Contrasted from Ash's all red outfit, Saiki wears all white. Additionally, his hair is much longer than Ash's.

Extremely confident in his own strengths and abilities, Saiki believes himself to be a supreme entity of power. He talks in the same flamboyant manner as Ash, openly stating whatever lack of interest he feels. Saiki is rather malevolent and doesn't feel the slightest speck of remorse for the carnage he causes. He is very arrogant, and he takes pride in his "ascendant" status as an ancient entity and as such, has a "God complex" that is the primary source of his arrogant behavior, further reflected even in his fighting style.
Saiki despises humanity, viewing them as an inferior species, often quipping sarcastic and rude dialogue towards their lack of strength, knowledge, experience and/or appearances, as well as often pointing out towards the people he meets that humans are consider "worse than trash". He often enjoys torturing them and reveling in their suffering as seen in many of his win quotes; so much to the point where even Orochi and the Hakkesshu sees him and his organization as much as an "eyesore" than the same humanity that they themselves are trying to exterminate.
Despite his hatred for humanity, Saiki cares little about his organization, viewing them as nothing more than disposable subordinates. This is best shown prior to his transformation where he killed Mukai without a second thought when he "disobeyed" him, or in the Bad Ending, where he casually mentions that had he would have killed every single one of them had the Gate not have enough power to go back in time.

Unlike normal Mr. Karate, he wears a dark grey gi, and his tengu mask sports longer hair and nose, complete with glowing eyes. How Mr. Karate attains this "form" or status is unknown, and its canonical nature is up for debate.

Under most circumstances, Mr. Karate acts similar to Takuma Sakazaki , often making jokes and offering guidance to his opponents. In contrast, Serious Mr. Karate adopts a much more serious (as the name says) manner, preferring his fists to do the talking. Despite his fearsome image, he still retains his mentoring nature, though his comments are considerably more strict and boastful. Serious Mr. Karate's sole desire is to fight powerful opponent and goads worthy challengers to face him, regardless of their affiliation, age, or background.
This version of Mr. Karate seems to be based more upon Takuma's personality in the Art of Fighting series, as opposed to his more comical personality in The King of Fighters series. Despite most of the fighters knowing Takuma is the man under the mask, they can't help but notice the recent change in his serious fighting aura and the bloodlust found within him; Shen Woo gets really excited, while Maxima cannot properly gauge him, and even his students notice this form is not the comical individual they're used to seeing. Saiki even praises this persona, despite being human.

Terry is often depicted as an adult Caucasian male with a well-built muscular physique and long blonde hair, usually sporting a ponytail. He is often recognized wearing a red jacket with a white star marked on the back, white shirt, blue jeans, fingerless gloves, sneakers, and a red baseball cap as his signature accessory. Throughout most of his appearances, his overall design sought out different variations.

Terry in his first appearance at Fatal Fury: King of Fighters.

Starting in his debut at Fatal Fury: King of Fighters , Terry's attire was more distinguishable from the usual overall impression, as he was seen wearing a longer sleeved red jacket that was rolled up to his elbows. and white sneakers. His official artworks drawn by Shinkiro has minor details that could not be added in his sprites due to limitations, which includes a white circular patch on his jacket, and the NEO-GEO logo on his cap, though that it can be seen in his in-game renders at the VS screen. His sprites also apparently seen him wearing hi-tops that differentiates his artwork as he is seen wearing normal sneakers.

Terry in KOF '98 . This is his most "classic" design that's often seen in many of his appearances.

In Fatal Fury 2 , his attire from the previous game made some significant tweaks that it became his default look on many of his appearances. His jacket now has no sleeves, the sleeves of his white shirt were torn off, his fingerless gloves have rectangular cuts on the back of each of his hands as they were supposedly biker gloves, and his sneakers are two-toned with red and white. While his in-game appearances could not display a logo on his cap, his original artwork for FF2 is seen with the NEO-GEO logo like his FF1 artwork. However, in the promotional artworks by Shiroi Eiji , and Terry's portrait artwork by Shinkiro in Fatal Fury Special , his cap is having the Fatal Fury logo, as it is the most used logo for his cap. With that logo included, it is at his most recognizable design that is used often of his many appearances including Real Bout Special , RB2, the majority of the King of Fighters series, the Capcom vs SNK crossovers, Fighting EX Layer , Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Street Fighter 6 .

Terry in FF3 and Real Bout

Terry in Masami Obari's anime depictions of the Fatal Fury series

In Fatal Fury 3 and Real Bout Fatal Fury , while his attire is nearly identical to his FF2 appearance, it was slightly tweaked. His white shirt is a full t-shirt with sleeves, and the logo on his cap reads "KING OF THE FIGHTERS," enclosed in a blue rectangle. In his in-game appearance, the logo on his cap is only seen as a blue rectangle. His appearances in the series of the Fatal Fury anime directed by Masami Obari had him to dress identical for his FF1 long-sleeved version for Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf and his classic no-sleeves version in both Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle and Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture , while his iconic cap added a silver plate for all three of the anime.

Terry's timeskip appearance in Garou: Mark of the Wolves , which it is also well-received from fans.

Terry also made a drastic change of his appearance that became a fan-favorite alternate outfit, starting in his appearance in Garou: Mark of the Wolves . In this attire, he no longer wears his iconic cap, his hair was cut shorter to the length of his shoulders, and exchanged his red jacket into a brown leather flight jacket with a star on a blue circle marked on the back and a text reads "RUNNING WILD" under it. The jacket also has another star logo enclosed in a blue ring and a text that reads "AIRBORNE", patched on the left sleeve or both, and a white labeled patch on the left side at front with the "AIRBORNE" text on it. This appearance is well-received from longtime fans that it also makes appearances in KOF 2003, KOF XI, and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. It also makes an appearance as an alternate costume in KOF Maximum Impact, KOF XV as a pre-order bonus DLC and Street Fighter 6 , while in KOF Maximum Impact 2 , it is used an EX form of Terry, under the on-screen name as " Wild Wolf ."

Terry in KOF XIV

In KOF XIV, Terry sports a variation of his overall impression that seems to resemble his FF1 appearance, longer sleeves on his jacket and all, only that the sleeves folded back to midway of his forearms. The jacket also added white stripes on the front, a patch that reads "'91 Running Wild" stitch on the left sleeve, two buttoned pocket protectors on the front, and two cursive texts that reads "Get in the Ring!" and "Live to Fight" marked above and below the star at the back. He also wears padded fingerless black gloves and his cap has a new logo that reads "HUNGRY WOLF" with a face of a wolf on a shield above the text. While it is a fair shake-up of his usual look, this design did not stick as in his appearance in KOF XV reverted back to his classic design as the illustrator of KOF XV , Tomohiro Nakata , stated that he's fan of Terry showing his muscular arms.

Terry in KOF: Destiny

In the Chinese CG animated webseries The King of Fighters Destiny , and the mobile game based on the same name , Terry's usual attire has seen some minor details added, most notably a gray sleeveless hoodie under his red jacket, a full white t-shirt like his FF3 appearance, a silver belt buckle that resembles a face of a wolf, and having a silver plate on his hat like his FF anime appearances, only with the Fatal Fury logo engraved on it.

Terry with his gender swapped in his appearance of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

In SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy , under the effects of Kukri 's pocket dimension, Terry has transformed into a female version of himself. His default outfit is basically a skimpier version of his classic attire, as jacket is shorter, shirt is replaced into a tube top and jeans into a distressed denim hi-cut shorts. In addition, he also sported ringed bracelets on each of his wrists. and the logo of his iconic cap changed from "Fatal Fury" into "Fatal Cutie." While he is included in the game as a gender-swapped form, his in-game ending did not follow this predicament, as it was just a dream recreating Geese's death scene with Terry only back in his male form. It is noted that this game isn't the first time a female Terry transformation is seen, as Terry would change into female from the effects of Demitri Maximoff 's Midnight Bliss super move in SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos , which he also sported the denim shorts.

Terry in KOF for Girls

In the mobile dating simulator game, The King of Fighters for Girls , amongst various outfits depending on events, Terry changed his usual jacket into a red varsity jacket with black trimmings and white upper sleeves. The jacket also has a large red "W" patch at the right side of the front, although it is currently unknown what does it stand for (possibly "Wolf" or "Wild"). It also has a white star with wing-like blocks at the sides and a text that reads "Since 1991" marked under, along with a red star enclosed in a ring with wings marked on each sleeves.

Terry Bogard is an incredibly charismatic, cheerful and friendly man with everyone around him, given/despite his rough past growing up.
In spite of seeming rather playful and/or insensitive to others in his dialogue especially when in combat, Terry truly bears no ill will towards anyone other than the truly malicious and outright irredeemable; this mainly applies to foes such as the likes of Geese Howard , the killer of his adoptive father, and the psychopathic Ryuji Yamazaki .
His relationship with Andy is that of respect, recognizing his younger brother as his fiercest rival despite Terry himself being the better fighter of the two. Be it in fighting, travels, or simply hanging out, Andy is the most affable and solid companion that he has, along with Joe. He feels a sense of kinship with Blue Mary for her loss, and the two developed a long time relationship with some hints of romance. He treats Rock as his son as he teasingly calls him "Rookie", but allows him to choose his own path in life. Terry is also well-informed of what goes on in the streets.
Even then, a common recurring gag is due to Terry's habit of only doing part-time work to get by, he tends to rack up a notable tab at the places he often eats out at.

Adolphine has amber eyes [6] and wavy wine-red hair. [7] As expected of a high-ranking noble, she is always poised and elegant. She has a tendency to twist her hair with a finger when she is annoyed. [8] Her graduation hairpin uses a design based on schentis flowers. [9]

Personality

Although Adolphine always maintains a composed, dignified attitude in public, Rozemyne notes that she has something of a "flashy, strong-willed aura" in addition to her inner gracefulness. [10] Her true nature shows most in private discussions with close family, such as her brother Ortwin , with whom she is much more direct, ambitious and authoritative.
Adolphine also has a strong sense of pride. Although she is happy for Eglantine's marriage, she is furious that her engagement to Prince Sigiswald is treated as a consolation prize, and she bitterly resents having to give up on her own political prospects. [11] In general, Adolphine likes people who are innovative and clever, but dislikes those who are shallow, lazy and self-centered. Although she has high standards for competence, she maintains that she "permits three mistakes before she loses patience."
Determined to keep Drewanchel at the forefront of the nation's trends, Adolphine aggressively collects intelligence in the Royal Academy and talks to her brother about fashion and beauty at length (much to his disinterest). She personally engages in brewing potions and conducting research, both of which are considered unusual activities for archduke candidates outside of Drewanchel, [11] and is an exceptionally skilled player of the chess-like game gewinnen . [8]

History

Adolphine was born in Drewanchel as the daughter of Aub Drewanchel's first wife. However, her duchy's unusual practice of having the archduke adopt any noble child with sufficient mana and skill meant that she grew up as one of a large number of archduke candidates, all vying for recognition and the right to become the next Aub.  Adolphine grew up closest to her younger brother Ortwin , since they shared the same mother.
Like many of her siblings, Adolphine dreamed of becoming the next Aub Drewanchel. However, those hopes were dashed when her father and King Trauerqual decided, without consulting her, to have her marry either the first prince Sigiswald or the second prince Anastasius when she came of age. Both princes were fervently courting Eglantine of Klassenberg , a former princess of the deposed previous royal family, with the expectation that whomever she chose would become the heir to the throne. Adolphine would then face the humiliating prospect of marrying whichever prince who failed to become king.
Adolphine cried bitterly after learning about her engagement, furious that her father gave her no say in her own future and devastated at having her ambitions crushed. She shifted her aim to raising her younger brother Ortwin to become the next Aub in her place, continuing to gather intelligence and lead research at the Royal Academy to maintain Drewanchel's influence in Yurgenschmidt. [8]

Story

During Rozemyne's first year at the Royal Academy , Adolphine's interest is piqued by the glossy hair of the Ehrenfest students at the annual fellowship gathering. She initially disregards Rozemyne as an archduke candidate from a middling duchy, instead advising her brother to focus on outperforming Hannelore of Dunkelfelger , whom they expect will come first in her year. Earning better grades than Hannelore would reinforce their duchy's standing and give Ortwin a more advantageous position for negotiating a marriage to Hannelore in the future.
Both siblings are shocked when Rozemyne finishes all her classes in record time with impeccable grades. Throughout  the year, Adolphine and Ortwin routinely meet to discuss new Ehrenfest trends, including pound cake and rinsham. She urges him to form closer ties with Rozemyne and even consider her as a marriage prospect, but Ortwin, disconcerted by Rozemyne's strange behavior, is reluctant to comply. He instead strikes up a friendship with her brother Wilfried. [8]

Anastasius has gray eyes and blond hair. Rozemyne describes him as very handsome, saying that he must have “come from a long line of stunning people to end up looking like this.” [8]

Personality

As a high-ranking noble , Anastasius usually appears self-assured and collected in public. He is used to being accommodated because of his royal status, and he takes an imperious attitude toward those lower in rank. In private, he tends to speak more bluntly and is more inclined to let his emotions show.
Anastasius cares deeply for Eglantine and becomes very emotional when she is involved. He loves to talk about her (whether or not the other person wants to hear it [10] ) and becomes jealous very easily. [11] He is not particularly ambitious, and he is willing to put his love for Eglantine over his chances at becoming the next king . [12]
While he can often be inconsiderate and demanding, he is not unkind. He shows leniency toward Rozemyne despite her often disrespectful attitude, and when walking with her to his villa, he is willing to slow down to match her pace rather than go ahead without her. [13]

History

Prince Anastasius is the second prince of Yurgenschmidt . Because he and his older brother Prince Sigiswald both have a claim to the throne, it was long expected that they would compete over the right to succeed the current king. [11]

Angelica has dark blue eyes and light blue hair, which she wears in a ponytail before she comes of age. After she comes of age, she wears it tied back in a bun. She carries a manablade named Stenluke as her weapon.
Rozemyne comments that she “hardly seems like a knight at all” because of her lithe, slender build. [2] She is very pretty and has an ethereal, “fairy-like” beauty. [3]

Personality

In contrast to her delicate appearance, Angelica is single-mindedly focused on becoming a stronger knight . She is disinterested in anything unrelated to that goal, including marriage, social propriety, schoolwork, and her family’s expectations. Rather than improve her weaknesses, she would rather focusing on honing her strengths.
Angelica is quiet and maintains a calm attitude. She ignores anything unrelated to her immediate duties and obeys orders without question. Ferdinand is impressed that she “has the loyalty to wield a blade against him without hesitation,” but describes her as “shockingly brainless”. [4]
Due to her poor grades, Angelica is occasionally seen as lazy, However, she is very diligent in her training and in fulfilling her duties as a guard knight. Her stellar growth under Bonifatius’s training led to her becoming his most prized disciple. She is also willing to undertake tasks she doesn’t find interesting if she believes it will make her stronger. [5]
Angelica often uses her cute appearance to her advantage as a way to gain sympathy and avoid tasks she prefers not to do, especially studying and paperwork.

History

Angelica comes from a family with a history of producing excellent attendants . However, she disliked studying so much that she decided to become a knight instead, reasoning that it would involve less mental effort. It proved to be a good fit for her, and she developed an intense drive to become stronger.
She uses her slender build and enhancement magic to cultivate a speed-based combat style, which is complemented well by her manablade .

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Aurelia has blonde hair and sharp, narrow eyes in a shade of deep green. Her facial features give many people the mistaken impression that she is cold and calculating, [5] and she bears a strong resemblance to her distant relative Gabriele , another Ahrensbach archnoble who married into Ehrenfest several generations ago. [6] When meeting with anyone outside her immediate family, Aurelia wears a magical veil that obscures most of her face. [7] She is quite tall for a woman, which Rozemyne thinks makes her a good visual match for a muscular knight like Lamprecht. [8]

Personality

Aurelia is somewhat soft-spoken and withdrawn. Growing up as an unfavored child in Ahrensbach, she was ostracized by her family, making her cautious and slow to form new relationships. After moving to Ehrenfest, she is afraid to show her face in public due to insecurities about her appearance; however, she strongly hopes to find acceptance and build a positive relationship with her new family, especially her mother-in-law Elvira and sister-in-law Rozemyne .
Although archnobles are expected to be composed at all times, Aurelia is unusually expressive. Her emotions often show on her face even when she is fully veiled, revealing her nervousness and uncertainty in unfamiliar situations. [9]

History

Aurelia and Lamprecht fell in love with each other during their shared time at the Royal Academy , but due to the strained political relationship between Ahrensbach and Ehrenfest at the time, Aub Ehrenfest refused their requests for a marriage.
Aurelia is the daughter of Aub Ahrensbach's younger brother and his third wife. Her mother was born in Frenbeltag . Due to taking different sides during the civil war, the treatment of her mother and by extension her mother's children worsened considerably, and in Aurelia's case, this was further exacerbated by her appearance, leading to her being treated very poorly by the majority of her family. Her younger sister Martina managed to avoid the worst of this treatment due to being smart and friendly, to the point of even being described as "loved by all."
From early childhood, Aurelia was bullied and mocked on account of her appearance. The shape of her eyes led others to say that she always looked like she was scheming something awful and carried the cruelness of some base villain.
Aurelia wanted to become a scholar or attendant, but due to her precarious social position was denied the chance to choose her own path. With the Aub's first wife having been ill for some time and getting weaker, Aurelia's father expected Lady Georgine to rise in status and thus tried to ingratiate himself with her. Since Georgine's daughter Lady Alstede was lacking in apprentice guard knights at the time, he forced Aurelia to pick the knight's course to become Alstede's knight, even though it was already clear that Alstede would be marrying into another duchy after coming of age and leave the archduke's family two years later at most. Having to lock her future into a career not of her choosing was very frustrating for Aurelia. Furthermore, she was unable to fit into the friend-groups of her fellow students and retainers, leading her to spend much time in the knight's building on the excuse of training.
It was there that she met Lamprecht, who initially only wished for the three year younger girl to introduce him to other female Ahrensbach students, since Lady Veronica had decreed he was to marry someone from Ahrensbach. At the time, Ehrenfest was much lower in rank than Ahrensbach, so Aurelia remarked that she didn't believe anyone would be willing to marry into the lower duchy, unless they were willing to escape their homes like her. This caused Lamprecht to ask her if she would be willing to go with him, which Aurelia agreed to. Despite not spending much time together, the two quickly developed feelings for each other.
Initially, her father vehemently opposed allowing his daughter to marry into a duchy as low in the rankings as Ehrenfest. After intense negotiations, he only allowed Lamprecht to escort Aurelia at her graduation to serve as one last memory before their final farewell. And following an incident at the Ehrenfest temple involving Count Bindewald , Aub Ehrenfest wouldn't let anyone from Ahrensbach marry into Ehrenfest. Furthermore, their mana was far enough apart that Lamprecht could not sense Aurelia's mana at their first meeting.
Some years later, the political situation and power-dynamic between the two duchies would change to the point of Aub Ahrensbach pressuring Aub Ehrenfest into allowing the marriage to go through, likely leaving Aurelia's father no say in the matter. [6]
This happened mainly due to Georgine , who wished to establish Aurelia as a spy within Ehrenfest. [10]
After Alstede left Ahrensbach, Aurelia briefly served her former lady's younger sister Detlinde as a guard knight, but left her service upon getting married. [11]

Personality

Benno seems cold and menacing at first glance. He is hot-blooded and confrontational as a merchant, always taking challenges head on and never backs down when facing rivals and authorities alike. He also has a hot temper and tends to yell at people.
However, he shows concern for his family and friends, willing to go the extra length to protect those he cares about. Concerned about Myne's health, he paid her three small gold coins for information on rinsham , which was enough to buy a magic tool used to ease the symptoms of the Devouring .
Benno is said to have softened a little due to Myne’s influence.

History

He also attempted to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Benno shortly after the death of Benno’s lover Liz , and later suggested a marriage between his sons and Benno's two younger sisters, causing one of the sisters to flee to another city. Benno interpreted his offers as insensitive, thinly veiled attempts to take over the company and developed a lasting dislike for Gustav. [8]

Skills and Abilities

Negotiation: Benno is a ruthless haggler, who never fails to make a profit, given the opportunity. Although Myne successfully haggles against him a few times, her success is largely due to Benno's fondness for her. Product Development: While most merchants buy and sell goods that are already being produced, Benno has a tendency to invest in product concepts and start new lines of business. This can be both an asset and a liability. Even though most of his ventures are profitable, Myne worries that he spreads himself too thin.

Trivia

Both the Japanese and English voice actors of Benno are known for voicing Sett from League of Legends. His Japanese voice actor, Takehito Koyasu is well-known for voicing antagonist masterminds, like Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sugou Nobuyuki from Sword Art Online, and Zeke Yeager from Attack On Titan. His English voice actor, Xander Mobus is well-known for voicing villains, either schemers like Tanzo Kubo from Neo The World Ends With You, or an immature madman like Telence/Terence D'Arby from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders. His most recognized role, however, is Ren Amamiya/Joker from Persona 5 series. Benno's dream was to become a world-influential merchant. [7] Benno is surprisingly inept when working with his hands. When peeling the bark off of wood for paper-making , he was even worse than Myne with her tiny hands. [9] When Benno was an apprentice, he snuck out of his house to go parue -gathering. Although merchant kids don't usually go to the forest, he got curious after hearing his fellow apprentices talking about it. [9]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Benno has dark red eyes and curly, chin-length hair the colour of milk tea. When working in the Lower City, he wears merchant clothing consisting of a long-sleeved undershirt, vest, and necktie, as well as trousers and boots. He sometimes wears a patterned overcoat.
When meeting with nobles, Benno dresses in a formal tunic and a white cloak. He also secures his necktie with a gold fastener and slicks back his hair.

Personality

Benno has a sharp sense for business and is ambitious about making a profit. However, he shows concern for his family and friends, and is especially worried about Myne's health. He also looks out for Lutz , and is even willing to adopt him when he runs away from his family. He is frequently exasperated by Myne's unpredictable behavior. His competitive attitude makes him willing to take on risky and innovative business ventures, even those far out of his area of expertise.

History

Benno took over the operation of his family company (the Gilberta Company ) at a young age, assisted by the loyal support of his right-hand man, Mark .
He all but raised his younger sister, Corinna , and was bemused when the traveling trader Otto spent all his savings to buy citizenship in the city of Ehrenfest to marry her.
Benno was once engaged to a woman he loved. However, by the time he was successful enough as a merchant to marry her, she had passed away. Because ownership of the Gilberta Company is traditionally is passed down to women, Benno intends for Corinna and her husband Otto to take over in the future.

Trivia

His Japanese voice actor, Takehito Koyasu, voices Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Benno's dream was to become a world-influential merchant. [1]

Personality

Bertilde is very interested in hair styling and as a consequence has become very good at it, to the point that both Elvira and Rozemyne compliment her on her abilities. [5]

History

Bertilde and her sister Brunhilde are the daughters of the third Giebe Groschel and his first wife. [6]

Story


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Bezewanst is a large old man with long white hair and beard, and usually wears the white robes of the High Bishop. Unlike most Blue Priests, he does have a noble's ring.

Personality

The High Bishop leaves most of the work of actually running the temple to Ferdinand and spends most of his time simply enjoying the perks of his position. Due to his older sister Veronica (mother of the current Aub Ehrenfest ) covering for the numerous crimes he commits as High Bishop and their unusually close relationship, he takes a dark sense of joy using the connection to elevate his position in noble society.
His true personality is scarred by a deep inferiority complex over not being recognized as a true noble despite his archduke's blood. He is well aware that most true nobles disrespect him as a person and only put up a show of respect due to his connection to his older sister, which is a great source of frustration and anger to him. This constant barrage of negative emotions have made him into a very vengeful and cruel person, who seeks to release his pent up anger on those of lesser status than him, whenever he thinks he can get away with it. Due to his sister's protection, he could get away with a shocking amount of crimes and abuse, which made him arrogant on top of his other vices.
He is also very vengeful and will go to great length to avenge himself upon those he deems to have wronged him, prioritizing his revenge over the good of the temple and duchy.
He is able to quite competently hide his character flaws and project an air of benevolence and kindness much in contrast to his true self, if he deems it beneficial to himself.

History

Bezewanst, born with pure-blood of the archduke's family as the youngest son of the fifth Aub Ehrenfest ( Sylvester 's grandfather), possessed relatively low mana in comparison with his kin, and was therefore raised, since his baby years, in the temple as a priest and continues his life there. His mother died when she gave birth to him, so nobody could protect him from his fate. With his mother's death, the position of his father's first wife fell onto the second wife, who belonged to the Leisegang faction. Giebe Leisegang demanded that Bezewanst was to be put into the temple. As his daughter became Bezewanst's father's first wife, Bezewanst's fate was sealed. Bezewanst was Veronica 's last living blood relative, which made her protect her little brother as much as possible. He was granted the position of the High Bishop in the temple, and his embezzlement and further small crimes were covered up by Veronica.
Since he was never officially recognized as a noble, he was never sent to the Royal Academy , and thus neither acquired a Schtappe nor learned to properly use his mana. He also never learned how to form a highbeast , and thus had to rely on coaches, much to his displeasure. His sister Veronica gifted him with a noble's ring, but due to his lack of training, he was unable to make proper use of it.

Trivia

He received a name for the light novel adaption. In the Web Novel he was always referred to only by his title of "High Bishop" (神殿長 Shindenchou). After Myne knocked him out with the Crushing in the Anime, he can be seen in the background when Ferdinard and Myne were discussing what to do next. Several grey priests are trying to move him unsuccessfully. Bezewanst's and Ferdinand 's role were reversed in one of Miya Kazuki 's early story drafts. In that version of story, the High Bishop is a kind old man, who tries to protect Myne from the High Priest, who views her as a threat and wants to eliminate her. [2]

Trivia

In the light novel, Bierce is the foreman that Myne first consulted for the recipe of ink, but it was a different person in the anime: an unnamed bald foreman credited as "ink workshop foreman". It is common in his workshop that his family and the leherls eat separately. They would only eat together if there was an important announcement or a cause for celebration.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Bonifatius has light blue eyes and blond, almost chestnut-colored hair. [2] He closely resembles his son, Karstedt . He is a "big guy," with a more muscular build than most men his age. Rozemyne thinks he has a sharp gleam in his eye. [8]

Personality

Unlike most nobles , Bonifatius greatly dislikes putting up a false face and will generally show his emotions completely openly, though he is fully capable of hiding them should the situation require it. He is very devoted to his family, particularly the only girl among his grandchildren, Rozemyne , though he tries to keep his distance from her for fear of accidentally injuring or killing her.
While he prefers to trust his instincts and tends to leave the thinking to other people, he is still an intelligent and well educated man.

History

Bonifatius was born as one of the sons of the fifth Aub Ehrenfest . Since he was older and healthier than his brother, and had all the necessary qualities, talents and skills to fulfill the role, he was supposed to become the next Aub . But he had absolutely no interest in leading the duchy, and thus advocated to have his younger brother become the successor. Their father was reluctant, but eventually gave in, but only in exchange for Bonifatius training the future Aubs of the duchy, naturally starting with his younger brother. [9]
In contrast to what many people might believe, Bonifatius seems to have behaved like a rather normal archduke candidate in his days at the Royal Academy . Even during ditter , he didn't charge blindly ahead, but instead took charge and commanded his troops, only rarely having the chance to bring his personal combat prowess to bear. He was good friends with students from Dunkelfelger and the now defunct Werkestock. He did manage to accidentally destroy a shrine during a ditter match, but reported the damage immediately after.
Like most archduke candidates, he never went to the library personally, instead opting to send scholars on the few occasions he required books or documents.
Considering how Rihyarda appears to have some considerable insight into Bonifatius' behaviour at the Royal Academy, it is very likely that they attended the Royal Academy at the same time. [10]
When his brother fell seriously ill before having any children capable of taking up the scepter, Bonifatius was trained to become the next Aub, if needed. However, his brother recovered and was able to rule until his children had become able to succeed him.
When Veronica dropped Georgine , after Sylvester 's birth, Bonifatius was sympathetic with his niece and wished he could console her, but due to his first wife being one of the people ostracized by Veronica and the overall political situation, he was forced to keep his distance. [9]
Following the advice of his family, Bonifatius kept himself at a distance from Rozemyne , as he is quite expressive and she is quite fragile. Everyone - including himself - feared he may harm her accidently. He is the former commander of the Knight's Order of Ehrenfest.

Brigitte has dark red hair and amethyst eyes. She is tall [2] and muscular, with broader shoulders than most noblewomen. [3] Rozemyne thinks she has a sharp and refined expression. [4]

Personality

She is deeply loyal to her family and her home province. She took on the job of serving Rozemyne as a way to help with her family's influence with the Aub , despite knowing that Rozemyne would be working in the temple and that she may have to go to the lower city, both of which are looked down upon and despised by nobles.

History

Brigitte was born in the small rural province of Illgner as the daughter of the then- Giebe Illgner. She is the younger sister of Helfried .
While growing up, she spent much time roaming around the fields and forests of her home, with some of the people of Illgner later saying that she was always more at home in the woods with a knife in hand than the etiquette course and outright calling her a tomboy. [5]
She chose the Knight's Course in the Royal Academy because she believed that with her brother already being a scholar, she would be of more help to their homeland as a knight.
Brigitte's became engaged to Hassheit soon after her father died and Helfried became the next Giebe Illgner. However, Brigitte discovered that her fiancé and his family were plotting to have her brother eliminated after the wedding, so they could take over Illgner. Brigitte furiously cancelled the engagement of her own accord, without observing the proper protocols and manners expected. This brought much shame upon her and the entire province of Illgner, allowing Hassheit and his family to relentlessly mock and harass Brigitte at every opportunity. As a result, she was escorted by her brother during her graduation because she couldn't find another partner. [6]
The scandal was bad enough that the majority of nobles in Illgner left the province, fostering a near self-sacrificial spirit in Brigitte, where she was ready to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her homeland. Her reputation was so maligned that she agreed to take on the task of serving as Rozemyne's guard knight even though it meant entering the temple and the lower city.

Retainers

Nadine is Brigitte's attendant . [7]

Story

Brigitte begins serving as a guard knight for Rozemyne , when she is adopted by the archduke. Later, Rozemyne hears about Brigitte's family circumstances and thinks it's unfortunate that she has little hope of getting married. To help her show off her beauty, Rozemyne designs a new halter-top dress designed to suit Brigitte's well-built body type for the next Starbind Ceremony in hopes that she can find a new husband. The dress is part of Brigitte's reward for helping Angelica pass her studies from the Royal Academy .
As Rozemyne gathers ingredients for her jureve , Brigitte becomes closer with her other guard knight, Damuel . When the two of them next attend the Starbind Ceremony together, Brigitte is approached by her ex-fiancé Hassheit . He proposes to her mockingly, saying that she can't possibly hope to marry anyone else at this point. However, Damuel stands up for her and proposes himself, promising to raise his mana to the level expected of a mednoble. Brigitte interprets this offer as a kindhearted attempt to save her from humiliation, but to her surprise, Damuel later insists that he meant it and truly intends to propose.
Elvira invites Brigitte to her tea parties, which helps reduce some of the scorn other nobles show toward Brigitte. However, Elvira is unimpressed when Brigitte says she wants to go back to her Illgner once she is married, understanding that to mean that Rozemyne is secondary to Illgner.
Brigitte continues to help Rozemyne gather all the ingredients for her jureve, and later goes with Rozemyne to visit her home province of Illgner . She is delighted when Rozemyne says she intends to set up the paper-making industry there. However, Rozemyne warns her that the way the nobles and commoners interact in Illgner, with little to no formality, could cause trouble as more nobles visit the province. Brigitte thanks her for her warning and promises to help the citizens of Illgner prepare for the change.

Personality

She is vivacious and loves to talk, [5] and she has an enthusiasm for starting fashionable trends. Rozemyne reflects that while she is generally “elegant and mature,” she becomes more expressive when discussing her interests. [8]

History

Brunhilde is the daughter of the third Giebe Groschel and his first wife, [9] both members of the Leisegang political faction.  She was raised to succeed her father and become the next giebe . [10] Because their parents visited often, Brunhilde became childhood friends with Leonore . Their bond later deepened when they were both chosen as Rozemyne’s retainers. [7]
Brunhilde’s parents urged her to accept a position as Rozemyne's attendant and use it to the political advantage of the Leisegang faction. She was assigned to gather information on Rozemyne and bring her closer to their faction. [7] Brunhilde agreed to try, although she didn't think she was suited to the job.
On a personal level, her own main motivation for seeking to be employed by Rozemyne was her desire to be part of starting new trends. With Rozemyne starting several significant trends right after joining noble society, the young archduke candidate made the perfect mistress to pursue a working relationship with. [11]
When Rozemyne assigned the Royal Academy students to gather information, Brunhilde focused on fashion trends in other duchies. Florencia and Elvira praised her for her hard work. [5]

Charlotte has silver-blond hair curled into ringlets and indigo eyes. She is an exceptionally cute girl, to the point that Rozemyne described her as a life-sized doll. She was slightly shorter than Rozemyne during her debut, but had grown taller than her by the time Rozemyne entered the Royal Academy .

Personality

Charlotte is a caring and good-natured person, with a great dedication to her duties as an archduke candidate. Seeing her elder brother falling so much short of the standards expected for her gave her plenty of self-confidence, without going to her head. While not exactly humble, she is not arrogant or over-confident.
She holds deep gratitude and admiration towards Rozemyne, who saved her and brought a lot of positive changes to Ehrenfest. Unlike Wilfried and Rozemyne, she's much more socially adept.

History

Charlotte was born as the second child of Sylvester , the seventh Aub Ehrenfest , and his first wife Florencia . Her older brother Wilfried was one year older than her, while her younger brother Melchior was four years younger.
At some point when Charlotte was young, Wilfried was formally announced to be the next Aub Ehrenfest. While Charlotte retained the position of archduke candidate , she and Melchior were effectively out of the line of succession.
Like all children of the Aub , Charlotte grew up living in a mansion separate and to the north of the main castle complex until her baptism . [2] Unlike her elder brother Wilfried , she has been raised by her mother Florencia, and as a result, she is far better educated than her brother was at her age, due to the pampering he received from their grandmother Veronica and the retainers chosen by her. However, Wilfried often visited his younger siblings to spend time with them.
After Rozemyne had been adopted and had managed to turn Wilfried's education around, he heaped lots of praise upon Rozemyne during his visits to his siblings. Unfortunately, Rozemyne wasn't able to visit her new younger siblings, due to being unable to enter their building due to a lack of permission to pass the barrier protecting it and a lack of free time. Charlotte was eagerly looking forward to finally get to meet this amazing new older sister upon moving to the main building.
