Description
Tabitha, born Charlotte Helène Orléans de Gallia, emerges from a lineage steeped in political strife. Her father, Charles, Duke of Orléans, was assassinated in a civil war that solidified her uncle Joseph’s usurpation of Gallia’s throne. A defining trauma reshaped her childhood: her mother absorbed a fatal dose of poisoned wine meant for her, spiraling into delusions that conflated Charlotte with a doll named Tabitha—an identity the girl reluctantly embraced.

Coldly intellectual and perpetually engrossed in books, Tabitha masks her emotions behind a frosty facade. A prodigious mage, she commands wind and ice with a curved staff, ascending to Square-class prowess despite Joseph’s deliberate suppression of her rank. Her missions under his command—ordeals like slaying a three-headed dragon—serve as veiled assassination attempts. Sylphid, her blue wind rhyme dragon familiar, shadows her as both Illococoo, her humanoid guise, and fierce guardian.

Coerced into betraying allies by Joseph’s agent Sheffield, Tabitha’s calculated loyalty fractures when Saito’s intervention exposes her buried vulnerability. A rare tearful breakdown reveals her isolation, countered by her mother’s fleeting moment of clarity during a battle, where she whispers “Charlotte” before relapse. Post-rescue, Tabitha pledges unwavering protection to Saito, cementing him as her emotional anchor.

Her past unravels further with Josette, a twin sister secretly spared from infanticide by Gallian tradition. Manipulated by Romalia, Josette briefly usurps Tabitha’s reclaimed throne after Joseph’s fall. Yet Tabitha defers her coronation, choosing instead to dwell among Saito, Louise, and comrades—a testament to her newfound allegiance to kinship over crown.

Her bond with Kirche, initially laced with rivalry, evolves into steadfast support through shared trials. A charged kiss with Saito reignites Louise’s magic, threading tension into their dynamic. Closure arrives as a curative potion restores her mother’s sanity, dissolving years of fractured identity. Tabitha’s journey culminates not on a throne but alongside those who shattered her solitude, her icy exterior melted by hard-won trust and belonging.
