Description
Elliott Howard is the eldest son of the Count Darsvy family and holds the position of secretary within the student council at Serendia Academy. He is a firm believer in the class system and feels that every person has a specific place in society that should not be crossed. As a noble, he believes it is his duty to rule responsibly and act fairly.
Physically, Elliott has brown hair and brown eyes with a drooping quality that gives him an outwardly cheerful and easygoing appearance. Despite his seemingly lighthearted and frivolous demeanor, he is a very strict individual, holding both himself and others to high standards. This dedication extends to his work as student council secretary, where he is known for being a reliable and hardworking partner to his fellow officers.
One of Elliott's defining characteristics is the internal conflict he faces when his worldview is challenged. This is notably illustrated when he plays chess with Monica Everett, the protagonist. His pride as a noble refuses to allow a commoner to defeat him. However, to win, he must resort to an underhanded trick by not explaining a rule to Monica. Breaking his own principles to protect his worldview causes him significant guilt, a moment that offers insight into the complexity of his character. The author of the series has compared Elliott's charm to dried squid, stating that the more you get to know him, the more fascinating and full of subtle depth he becomes.
In his role within the story, Elliott serves as a supporting character and a fellow student council member. He is identified as a childhood friend of Felix Arc Ridill, the second prince whom Monica is tasked with secretly guarding. His key relationships are primarily with the other student council officers, including Felix, as well as with Monica, as her extraordinary abilities and commoner status constantly challenge his rigid beliefs about social hierarchy. Along with his strong sense of duty and strict adherence to rules, Elliott possesses notable abilities in strategy and calculation, as demonstrated by his proficiency in chess.
