Description
Nico Wakatsuki, the rare Witch of Thousands born once a millennium with access to over one hundred spells, carries a surname meaning "young/immature moon." She lived initially with her human father and witch mother, Ibuki Wakatsuki, until her uncontrolled childhood magic destroyed their home, prompting her father's departure. This event led Ibuki to take Nico to Yuzenkyo for six years of magical training starting in fourth grade. There, she befriended the tengu Kanshi Kazamatsuri. Fulfilling her mother's prophecy of danger, Nico returned to her hometown under the protection of Morihito Otogi, her familiar and childhood neighbor who once saved her.
Exceptionally kind and driven to help others with magic, Nico's cheerful, energetic, and naive nature often leads to impulsive actions and accidents, making her susceptible to manipulation. She harbors deep romantic feelings for Morihito, grows jealous when others approach him, and affectionately calls him "Moi" due to childhood pronunciation difficulties. She ends sentences with "no yo" and refers to herself in the third person as "Nico." Her appearance features orange hair with pink tips, purple eyes, and a height of 159 cm. She wears vintage dresses, a protective bell necklace that alerts her to warlocks within 200 meters, school uniforms, or casual outfits.
Her magic requires unique naming conventions for easier recall. Key spells include "Flip Flap Flat" (flattening objects), "Embiggen" (enlarging objects), "Pulp Fashion" (creating clothing from images), "Doublit" (self-duplication at reduced size), "Witch Recovery" (repairing objects), and "Through-N-Through" (phasing through walls). She can invent spells and replenishes magic energy with sweet bean paste. Her most potent spell, "Majolicabary," heals severe injuries at a high personal cost.
During an attack by dark witches coinciding with Nico confessing her feelings to Morihito, Morihito suffered grave injuries. Nico used Majolicabary to save him, sacrificing her most precious memories. This reverted her mind and body to a five-year-old state, erasing all recollection of Morihito, with magic butterflies dispersing her lost memories. She physically re-aged over time but retained no memory of her past. At five, she viewed Morihito as a stranger, gradually forming a trusting, father-daughter bond. By age eleven, renewed romantic feelings began, fully resurfacing by fourteen. During adolescence, she cut her hair short upon learning of Morihito's preference, showcasing her enduring affection.
Her relationships include her mother Ibuki, who provides prophetic guidance and protective spells. Close companions are Kanshi (her crow familiar), Keigo Magami (a werewolf familiar), Miharu Kiryu (a vampire familiar), Nemu Miyao (a witch friend), and schoolmates Kara Minami and Kukumi Ureshino. She bonds with other witches like Momo Kuramochi and Mii Tsuchiya, viewing them as sisters. Her former classmate Komugi Kurowa initially befriended her under false pretenses to facilitate a kidnapping but later sought Nico's help to become a normal witch.
