OVA
Description
Natsuki Kruger commands Garderobe Academy, an institution dedicated to training specialized warriors. She ranks as #2 among the Five Columns, elite warriors serving broader interests beyond individual masters. Her designation, "Ice Silver Crystal," signifies her combat prowess and leadership standing. Hailing from Count Kruger's remote territory, she ascended to her pivotal role at Garderobe after excelling as a student there herself.
Her personality is marked by calm reserve and a calculated approach. She frequently operates behind the scenes, analyzing political situations and making strategic decisions for Garderobe. This demands visible neutrality and dignity in public and administrative settings. Yet, her demeanor shifts noticeably around Shizuru Viola, a fellow Column and closest companion. In these private moments, she becomes more relaxed and open. Multiple sources strongly imply their relationship extends beyond friendship into romance.
As headmistress, she staunchly supports the warrior principles and their role in preserving peace, dedicating herself entirely to protecting her students. Her responsibilities span political and military dimensions, requiring constant composure and clear judgment. She demonstrates faith in the newer generation, notably drawing parallels between current trainee rivalries and her own past academy dynamics with peers like Mai and Shizuru.
In combat, she wields a specialized weapon system linked to her title. Her primary armament manifests as a massive energy cannon, enabling her signature attack, "Howling Silver Wolf," reflecting consistent thematic connections to silver and wolves. During the conflict with Schwartz, she actively fights alongside Shizuru. Schwartz interference initially strips her of combat capabilities, rendering her unconscious. Following this setback, she travels with allies like Juliet Nao Zhang through locations including Aries and Cardair, eventually reaching the Black Valley to reunite with key figures.
She temporarily regains her combat capabilities to resist Schwartz during the Garderobe coup, directly confronting forces at Fuka Castle, though her attacks are initially thwarted. After reuniting with Shizuru, they face limitations due to Schwartz countermeasures before fully regaining their capabilities near the conflict's end. In the final confrontation, she joins the other Columns in retaking Fuka Castle and successfully destroys the Harmonium weapon.
Later, during the Meteor Destruction Operation, she oversees coordination alongside other national leaders and Yukino Chrysant, providing backup in the Black Valley before returning to Garderobe. Subsequently, she participates in high-level diplomatic engagements like the Strategic Otome Limiting Treaty discussions in Artai. She also leads teams against a significant threat manifesting as Fumi Himeno and her spawned entities, creating opportunities for other warriors to defeat this enemy. Her leadership remains defined by unwavering commitment to Garderobe's ideals and protecting those under her charge, balancing administrative duties with decisive action when necessary.
