Description
Agott Arklaum is a young apprentice witch and the first student of the master Qifrey at his atelier. She is of an age with her fellow apprentices, generally depicted as being between ten and twelve years old. Physically, Agott is characterized by her dark, curly hair and deep purple eyes, often carrying a brooding or serious expression. She comes from a highly respected lineage; her family, the Arklaum house, has served as the librarians of the Tower of Tomes for generations, a legacy that weighs heavily on her.
Agott's personality is defined by a complex mix of ambition, insecurity, and a serious, almost severe, dedication to her craft. She is a self-conscious and withdrawn individual who is deeply ambitious, yet she suffers from significant self-esteem issues and harbors a deep fear of being perceived as average. This manifests as a tendency to fixate on her own shortcomings and the vast amount she has yet to learn, rather than acknowledging her considerable skills. This internal pressure often makes her appear frustrated or dismissive, particularly towards those she views as naive or less capable. Her speech patterns, using formal and ladylike language, reflect her noble upbringing. Despite her prickly exterior, she has a softer side, enjoying whimsical magic such as making her stuffed animals dance.
Her primary motivation is to prove her worth, both to herself and to her prestigious family. She hopes to one day become a librarian in the Tower of Tomes, thereby reclaiming her family's respect. Agott has been referred to as the black sheep of the Arklaum family following an incident where she was accused of trying to pass off another person's magic as her own during her apprentice debut. As a result, she was sent to study under Qifrey instead of remaining with her family, an experience that likely intensified her need to succeed.
Within the story, Agott serves as a rival and foil to the protagonist, Coco. She is an exceptionally serious student who is known to pull all-nighters and rise early to study, demonstrating a work ethic born from her anxiety about being left behind. Her role in the atelier is that of the experienced senior apprentice, and she initially reacts to Coco's sudden and unorthodox arrival with hostility. Agott forces Coco to take a dangerous entrance trial, the Consent of the Crown, hoping she will fail and leave. While this action is harsh, it stems from her belief that Coco does not understand the seriousness of magic and her own desire to protect the integrity of the magical world she has worked so hard to enter.
Agott's key relationships evolve significantly throughout the narrative. Her relationship with Qifrey is one of respect tinged with frustration; she respects him as her teacher but grows impatient when she feels her progress is too slow. However, her most dynamic relationship is with Coco. Initially, she looks down on Coco as an ignorant outsider, but as they are forced to work together, her perspective begins to change. During an early adventure in a labyrinth, Coco's unconventional ideas help the group escape a dragon, earning Agott's grudging respect. Agott begins to see Coco not just as a rival, but as an equal who possesses a unique way of thinking that complements her own methodical approach. Despite her outward coldness, she starts to show genuine concern for Coco's well-being and safety.
Agott's character development is central to her arc. She begins as a rigid and judgmental perfectionist, but through her interactions with Coco and the other apprentices, she gradually learns to loosen her strict worldview. Her journey involves confronting her own deep-seated jealousy, particularly of Coco's natural talent for thinking outside the box, and learning to value collaboration over competition. Her experiences help her soften her harsh self-criticism and accept that there is more than one path to becoming a great witch.
In terms of abilities, Agott is the most technically proficient and knowledgeable of Qifrey's apprentices. She possesses a strong foundation in magical theory and practice, though her anxiety often leads her to feel her abilities are inadequate. She is known to have a particular fondness for decorative magic and has a vast knowledge of different patterns and creature motifs, which she has diligently studied. While she is a powerful apprentice for her age, her notable ability is less about raw power and more about her dedication, precision, and extensive study, which make her a reliable and capable witch in training.
