OVA
Description
Astarte is a homunculus, originally crafted as a servant for the alchemist Rudolf Eustach. Her creation marked an alchemical breakthrough: the first successful implantation of a familiar, Rhododactylos, within a homunculus body—a feat previously deemed impossible. Rhododactylos initially manifests as two large arms capable of absorbing magical energy from other familiars, granting Astarte supernatural strength. Later, it evolves into a humanoid form with Astarte encased in a green orb at its chest, utilizing divine vibrations to negate magic and enhance durability.
Astarte possesses blue hair and blue eyes. Her early demeanor exhibits a near-total lack of emotional expression and minimal speech, often responding robotically with "Accept." She first appears clad in a simple white cloth, later adopting a maid outfit after being entrusted to Natsuki Minamiya.
Following Rudolf Eustach's defeat by Kojou Akatsuki and Yukina Himeragi, Astarte receives a judicial sentence of three years' probation. Natsuki Minamiya becomes her legal guardian, integrating her into daily life as a maid. This transition sparks subtle developmental changes; under Natsuki's supervision and through interactions, Astarte gradually begins displaying traces of independent thought and emotional responses. By the events of the eighth light novel volume, these developments become more pronounced, indicating a shift towards autonomy beyond her original programming.
Astarte participates in multiple conflicts. During the "Right Arm of the Saint" arc, she acts under Rudolf's command, using Rhododactylos against Kojou and Yukina, including assaults on Itogami Island's infrastructure. In the final episode of the first anime season, she joins the collective defense against a magic beast consuming the island's dragon veins, fighting alongside Kojou, Yukina, and others. Her role evolves into a supporting one for the protagonists in subsequent arcs. In the OVA "Kingdom of the Valkyria," she aids efforts to protect a diplomatic signing ceremony between the Kingdom of Aldegyr and the Lost Warlord's Dominion from terrorist threats.
Lacking conventional familial ties or personal history, Astarte was presumably confined to Rudolf's laboratory before the main storyline, subjected to experiments to stabilize the familiar implantation process.
