Description
Luna is the main protagonist of Champignon Witch, a black witch who lives alone in a cottage deep within the Black Forest, a place known for its poisonous mushrooms. She has medium-length black hair with bangs and purple eyes, and despite appearing as a late teenager, she has lived far longer than ordinary humans. Her defining trait is that her body constantly exudes a poison that causes toxic mushrooms to grow wherever she touches, a power that stems from her ability to absorb negative energy from the surrounding air. Because of this and her status as a black witch—one who does not swear loyalty to the kingdom as white witches do—she is feared and shunned by the nearby villagers, who believe she brings illness and death.
In truth, Luna is gentle, kind, and shy, though her quiet demeanor can initially be mistaken for coldness. She is patient and caring, spending her days studying mushrooms and brewing medicines. She regularly travels to town to sell her potent healing potions to an apothecary, providing aid to the locals from a distance, and she finds solace in buying books, which serve as an escape from her loneliness. She sustains herself by absorbing energy from living things rather than eating ordinary food.
Luna’s role in the story centers on her isolated existence and the transformation that occurs when she encounters others. Her primary motivation is to help people quietly, despite the fear they hold toward her. This changes when she finds a stabbed and dying boy named Lize in a river. She learns that Lize is destined to become “The End of All Things,” a monstrous seed born from the pollution of the world. Against the warnings of the black witch council, Luna decides to take him in as her student, hoping to steer him away from that dark fate. This act of compassion sets the narrative in motion, forcing her to confront her inexperience as a witch and a teacher.
Key relationships shape her development. She has a close bond with Claude, a fellow black witch who can transform into a crow and often helps her escape danger. She also experiences a brief romantic connection with a village boy named Henri, whom she accidentally animated through a magical drawing. To save Henri’s life after he becomes bedridden from the experience, Luna absorbs his feelings for her into a mushroom, erasing his memories of their love and deepening her own solitude. Later, she encounters Lize, who becomes her most significant relationship, gradually breaking through her reclusive habits. Her master, a giant golden mushroom, serves as a mentor and helps her when she struggles to contain powerful poisons.
Throughout the story, Luna undergoes meaningful development from a lonely, self-isolated witch into someone who actively seeks to protect and teach another, forging connections despite the risks her nature imposes. Her notable abilities include generating and manipulating poisonous mushrooms, absorbing negative energy and even emotions from others, brewing highly effective medicines and potions, and using her magic to create animated drawings that possess their own life force. These powers reflect her dual nature—both destructive and healing—and the balance she must maintain as she navigates her place in a world that fears her.
