Description
Celica Arfonia, immortalized as the "Witch of Ash," is a 420-year-old human mage preserved in the youthful visage of a woman in her early twenties. Her striking appearance features long blonde hair swept into a left-sided braid secured by a rose pin, complemented by a black gown edged with crimson ruffles and elbow-length gloves. As a Septende (Rank 7) within the Alzano Empire’s mage hierarchy, her authority mirrors her unparalleled mastery of magic.

Awakening in a desolate wasteland in 1453 after her birth in the early 15th century, she unearthed her innate magical gifts. Branded an outcast for her unchanging immortality—including abandonment by a betrothed—she embraced the epithet "Witch of Ash." Across eras, she shaped history: joining the Six Heroes in the 1653 War of the Mages, where she crafted the classified Original Magic "Extinction Ray" to annihilate a formidable foe, emerging as the coalition’s sole survivor.

Post-war, she operated as Operative #21 "The World" in the Imperial Court Mage Corps Special Missions Annex, pursuing adversaries potent enough to shatter her eternal existence. Her service included overpowering Operative #16 Henrietta Dool in a duel. In 1843, during a mission to free Glenn Radars’ village from a lich’s grip, she confronted a thrall forged by Henrietta, obliterating both construct and creator. Discovering the orphaned Glenn, she relinquished her post to raise him, nurturing his magical talents before securing his role as a substitute instructor at the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy, where she concurrently serves as a professor probing the secrets of the Underground Labyrinth.

Her dynamic with Glenn intertwines mentorship and familial ties, marked by mischievous banter and veiled affection—evident when jesting about silencing colleagues who label her "mother-in-law" or volunteering for perilous missions despite peers’ alarms over her cataclysmic methods. Centuries of solitude have forged a detached, analytical poise, yet glimpses of vulnerability surface, particularly in matters concerning Glenn’s safety.

Beyond battlefield supremacy, her arcane knowledge spans ancient rituals and theoretical magic. The enigma of her unaging existence fuels her quest for purpose and worthy challengers. Though later chronicles of her endeavors remain fragmentary, her legacy endures through Glenn’s growth and her relentless inquiry into the Academy’s hidden truths.
