Description
Excel Walter is a five-century-old sea serpent who aided in establishing the Elfrieden Kingdom. She governs Lagoon City as its Duchess under a pact guaranteeing her people's safety. Her appearance blends human and serpentine traits: an attractive woman in her twenties with ankle-length blue hair, blue eyes, a voluptuous figure, antler-like protrusions, and a sea serpent tail. She favors loose kimono-style dresses that highlight her cleavage.
Shrewdly pragmatic yet playful, Excel shares realistic perspectives with Kazuya Souma and prioritizes her people's protection, showing no mercy to foes. She exhibits a teasing manner, especially toward Kazuya and his queen consorts, and holds deep affection for her granddaughters Carla Vargas and Juna Doma. Throughout her long life, she married multiple times, remaining devoted to each husband until their passing.
To prevent her bloodline from amassing excessive power, she legally disowns her children upon their adulthood, stripping most inheritance rights and marrying them into other families. She retains the exclusive use of the "Walter" surname, averting dynastic challenges. During Elfrieden's succession crisis, she maintained neutrality alongside other dukes and later retrieved Princess Elisha at Albert Elfrieden's request.
Excel independently resolved a kingdom-wide food shortage by exploiting Lagoon City's trade advantages, outperforming other dukes. After Albert Elfrieden's abdication, she covertly allied with Kazuya Souma, dispatching Juna to observe him. Impressed by his reforms, she publicly endorsed him at the Final Counsel, urging Dukes Castor Vargas and Georg Carmine to follow. Their rebellion sparked the One Week War. During the conflict, Excel sheltered Castor's separated family, strategically defended Altomura against the Amidorian invasion, and deployed naval forces to pressure the Republic of Turgis, compelling enemy withdrawal.
Post-war, she accepted the role of supreme commander for the new National Defense Force, mentoring her successor Ludwin Arcs. She arranged Juna's marriage to Kazuya as a secondary queen and conducted "bridal training" for the queen consorts, utilizing insights gleaned from Kazuya in private talks. She supervised military projects like the aircraft carrier Hiryuu, later assigning her son-in-law Castor as captain after his trial.
During the Union of Eastern Nations expedition, she commanded Friedonian forces. She intervened at the Battle of Dabicon River in Lastania, diverting the river with high-level water magic. She temporarily abandoned her post after Juna threatened to release an old sentimental love letter. Currently, she coordinates National Defense Force operations against the Nine Headed Dragon Archipelago.
As a sea serpent, Excel possesses vast mana reserves and excels in water-based magic, considered unbeatable near fresh water. She manipulates water into intricate forms like serpents or dragons and can replicate magical tools such as mist-dispersing receivers, though this consumes significantly more mana in non-aquatic environments.
