Description
Meg Raspberry, a 17-year-old apprentice witch, faces a harrowing fate upon learning of the "Death Sentence" curse on her birthday—a hex destined to accelerate her aging after she turns 18, granting mere weeks to live. To forge the life-saving Seed of Life, she must gather 1,000 human tears of joy, a quest propelling her across lands to form fragile bonds while navigating mortality and humanity’s emotional labyrinth.

Orphaned as an infant when magical contamination obliterated her hometown and claimed her parents, Meg was rescued by Faust, a sage from the revered Seven Sages, who raised her as his protégée. Her scant childhood memories omit her parents, save their tragic demise. Under Faust’s guidance, she hones innate magical gifts, including rare visual perception unveiling hidden phenomena.

Her odyssey intertwines with strangers’ lives: she crafts illusory cherry blossoms to soothe a grieving family, earning her first tear. Encounters with allies like Sophie, Chloe, and Inori, the enigmatic Witch of Wisdom, test her resolve. Inori disrupts Meg’s surrender to destiny by conjuring celestial wonders, reigniting her faith in magic’s marvels. A climactic revelation from her sister, Eldora, exposes the curse as Faust’s fabricated trial—a crucible mirroring Eldora’s past to instill resilience and purpose through mortality’s shadow.

Following Faust’s passing, Meg ascends as his successor among the Seven Sages, embracing the title "Witch of Hope." Her appearance—expressive eyes, a school-uniform-inspired ensemble of tie, white shirt, dark skirt, and stockings—complements her blunt yet buoyant spirit. Accompanied by familiars—a mint-green squirrel-like creature adorned with a gemstone and a silent white owl—she wields optimism and unflinching honesty, often misread as brusqueness, to confront adversity headlong.

Transformed from a fatalistic apprentice to the heralded "Witch of Lapis," Meg emerges as her town’s beacon of hope, her saga woven with themes of legacy, defiance intertwined with acceptance, and the redemptive strength of human connection against existential trials.
