Description
Adele is a witch and Western yōkai from the 2018 anime adaptation. She has fair skin, long white hair with braided sections secured by a purple clip, and striking eyes with red irises, purple pupils, and yellow centers. Her attire includes a dark green suit accented with yellow trim, a matching mantle, white gloves, and a red metallic glove on her right hand, which is destroyed during her final battle and never replaced. Adele serves as a female shōgun commanding Western yōkai under Backbeard. Driven by deep devotion to her younger sister Agnès, she secretly aims to surpass her sister in magical skill and take her place as the sacrifice in Backbeard’s Brigadoon Project, a ritual demanding a witch’s life. As children, Adele witnessed Agnès’s uncontrolled magic attract Backbeard, and their mother sacrificed herself under his orders to protect Agnès. This led Adele to dedicate herself to mastering magic, though her inability to reveal her plan causes Agnès to misinterpret her actions as cold allegiance. Adele pursues the crucial Ring of Arcana, burns the GeGeGe Forest with incendiary stones, and clashes with Kitarō. After Backbeard deems her power insufficient and attacks her, a severely injured Adele gives a multicolored healing stone to restore Kitarō’s spiritual power. She sacrifices herself to remove the Ring of Arcana from Agnès’s finger, halting Backbeard. Adele survives, recuperates in the GeGeGe Forest, pays respects at Miminaga’s grave, and reconciles with Agnès, traveling the world together. She later returns to aid Kitarō’s allies, such as helping defeat Kyubi no Kitsune. Adele wields extensive magical knowledge, specializing in creating Magic Stones with diverse effects: teleportation (blue), light swords (purple), barriers (red), incendiary explosions (violet), flight via geometric wings (green), long-distance communication (pink), recalling allies (orange), and healing (multicolored). Though less powerful than Agnès in raw magic, she compensates through rigorous training, knowledge, and sheer willpower, and is also a proficient markswoman.
