Description
Nicol Ascart is the eldest son of Count Ascart, the prime minister of the Sorcier Kingdom, and the heir to his father's political position. He is one year older than Catarina Claes and possesses the ability to wield wind magic. From a young age, Nicol has been noted for his extraordinary beauty, often described as looking like a doll, with shoulder-length black or dark violet hair and matching violet eyes. Despite his striking appearance, he is a reserved and quiet individual who tends to keep to himself. This withdrawal stems from his awareness that most people are drawn to him solely for his looks rather than his true self, leading him to avoid opening his heart to others. Nicol's motivations are primarily centered on protecting those he cares about, especially his younger sister Sophia, whom he loves dearly and is overprotective of. In the story, he serves as a supporting character and is one of the capturable romance options in the in-world otome game Fortune Lover. He is a childhood friend of Geordo Stuart and Alan Stuart, and he becomes a member of Catarina's close circle through his sister Sophia's friendship with her. Catarina's genuine and unpretentious nature gradually encourages Nicol to open up, marking a significant development in his character as he learns to trust and form connections beyond his family. His notable abilities include his powerful wind magic and a subtle, unintentional charm that causes people of all ages and genders to be captivated by him, often resulting in fainting. His role in the narrative expands as he becomes more engaged with Catarina and her friends, demonstrating growth from a detached observer to a more emotionally present individual.
