OVA
Description
Yue Ayase is a student in class 2/3-A at Mahora Academy, standing 138 cm tall with purple hair and violet eyes. Her birthday is November 16 and she has AB blood type. Though highly intelligent and well-read, she actively disdains formal studying and schoolwork, leading to consistently low grades. This paradox lands her in the "Baka Rangers" study group as "Baka Black," a disinterest stemming from her grandfather's death, which made conventional studies seem meaningless. She belongs to the Library Exploration Club and Philosophy Club.

Analytically detached with dry wit, Yue often drinks eccentric beverages like salt water or "Green Tea Cola" from juice boxes during contemplative moments. This necessitates frequent bathroom breaks, prompting her practical choice of tie-side panties—a detail embarrassingly disclosed by her friend Haruna Saotome. She maintains a deadpan demeanor but displays fierce loyalty, particularly to Nodoka Miyazaki. Their friendship began when Nodoka declared that "anyone who likes books cannot be a bad person."

After deducing Negi Springfield's identity as a mage and Mahora's magical nature post-Kyoto trip, Yue becomes involved with magic. During that trip, she assisted Nodoka in a game to kiss Negi but unexpectedly developed romantic feelings for him herself. She later requests Negi teach her magic, practicing diligently for over three hours daily, though she initially resisted forming a Pactio due to the required kiss. Her romantic turmoil peaked during the Mahora Festival when Nodoka confronted her. Following a physical altercation and emotional confession, Nodoka facilitated Yue's probationary Pactio with Negi without explicit consent. Her Pactio artifact, "Orbis Sensualium Pictus," manifests as a magical encyclopedia, proving crucial in battles like the confrontation with Chao.

Accompanying Negi to the magical world, Yue was separated from the group by an enemy spell. She materialized at a magic academy, suffering amnesia and a head injury after colliding with student Collette Farandole. Enrolling under the alias "Yue Farandole," she excelled academically despite her memory loss, becoming a top student. Sensing familiarity upon seeing Negi in his adult form during a tournament, she joined a security squad competition to approach him. Activating her Pactio artifact during a monster attack revealed her latent abilities, earning her squad recognition and passage to the Ostia tournament, though her memories remained fragmented.
