Minerva, the Witch of Wrath from *Re:ZERO*, stands at five feet tall with striking sky-blue eyes and long golden hair swept into a disheveled ponytail. Her attire—a short purple dress with a daring cut-out, thigh-high white boots, and a sleeveless coat—reflects her bold, unconventional presence.
A paradox of gentleness and volatility, Minerva shuns conflict and mourns violence yet vents frustration through playful punches or scoldings, her hostility paradoxically charming. Naive and emotionally conflicted, she mistakes sorrow for wrath, a vulnerability exploited by others, marking her as uniquely gullible among her peers.
Born in a war-ravaged world, Minerva sought to deter violence by harnessing power. Absorbing the Witch Factor of Wrath granted her Authority: healing injuries through physical strikes, rewriting reality’s cause and effect. Yet each act of salvation siphoned mana from Od Laguna, the world’s core, unleashing catastrophic disasters that erased her benevolence. Hunted by nations, she evaded capture until ensnared by a trap using elves as bait, culminating in her fatal clash with the Witch of Envy. Echidna preserved her soul within the Castle of Dreams; post-Arc 4, it rests in Omega’s glintstone necklace.
Her Authority’s healing activates via any strike—direct blows, thrown objects, or manipulated surroundings—overriding abilities like Theresia’s Death God Divine Protection or Typhon’s Pride Authority. Permanently active, it renders her incapable of harm: even crushed insects revive. Forced to engineer collateral disasters like landslides, she neutralizes threats indirectly.
Subtle hints link Minerva to Emilia’s lineage, evidenced by her protective devotion to the half-elf. The *Vainglory IF* scenario positions her as a sister-figure to Witches Echidna and Sekhmet. Though driven by compassion, her power’s catastrophic toll earned her infamy as history’s most perilous Witch, balancing salvation and ruin.
Named for the Roman goddess of wisdom and asteroid 93 Minerva, her July 20 birthday and Gate’s connection to Od Laguna underscore the vast mana drain fueling her healing—and the global devastation left in its wake.
