Description
Guideau is one of the two protagonists of the story. Despite possessing the appearance of a young girl with long blonde hair, Guideau was originally a man who was transformed by a witch's curse. This curse was cast by a specific witch named Angela, and as a result, Guideau now inhabits a female body that may actually belong to Angela herself, adding a layer of irony and mystery to the predicament.
In personality, Guideau is rough, impulsive, and violently aggressive, serving as a direct contrast to the calm and gentlemanly demeanor of the traveling partner, Ashaf. Often described as having beast-like eyes and a foul mouth, Guideau appears feral and bloodthirsty, particularly when witches are involved. However, beneath this abrasive exterior lies a surprisingly rational mind; Guideau typically avoids unnecessary actions and focuses on the goal at hand rather than acting out of pure chaos. There is also a noted appreciation for the stylish outfits and elaborate hairstyles that Ashaf provides, suggesting an unexpected interest in aesthetics despite the rough personality.
The central motivation driving Guideau is intense hatred and a thirst for revenge against the witch Angela, the one responsible for the curse. This hatred extends to all witches, whom Guideau views as harbingers of disaster and misfortune. The primary goal of the journey is to find Angela and break the curse, returning to the original form. Within the narrative structure, Guideau acts as the physical enforcer. While Ashaf handles investigation and strategy, Guideau engages in direct combat, serving as the "beast" to Ashaf's "mage." The pair work under the auspices of the Order of Magical Resonance, dealing with magic-related incidents.
The relationship with Ashaf is the most significant in Guideau's life. Initially, their partnership was one of convenience or a give-and-take arrangement, united by a shared goal of hunting witches. Over time, this has evolved into a deep bond of trust and camaraderie. While Guideau rarely expresses affection openly, the partnership functions effectively, with Ashaf carrying the coffin that contains Guideau's true form on his back at all times. Ashaf demonstrates deep admiration for Guideau's power and seems to act as a grounding influence, attempting to teach patience and control.
Development in Guideau's character is subtle but present. While the aggression toward witches remains constant, the relationship with Ashaf has clearly softened from pure business to genuine partnership. There is an implication that Ashaf wishes for Guideau to experience love or more human emotions, though Guideau's singular focus on revenge often overrides other character growth.
The most notable ability possessed by Guideau is the curse itself, which functions as a transformation mechanism. In the cursed female body, Guideau possesses superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes, enough to fight mages and creatures barehanded despite not being able to use magic. However, the true power is unlocked when the curse is temporarily lifted. This typically requires Guideau to kiss a witch. Upon doing so, the coffin carried by Ashaf opens, and Guideau can return to the original true form.
This true form is that of a massive, muscular warrior with sharp fangs and beast-like features, a figure described by Ashaf as the most beautiful and terrifying of creatures. In this state, Guideau becomes the natural enemy of witches, possessing immense physical power that can defeat enemies with a single punch. The durability is such that Guideau can withstand powerful magic head-on and survive slashes from the Demon Sword Ashgan, a weapon capable of cleaving castles and barriers, receiving only minor cuts. According to analysis by the Order of Magical Resonance, the right arm in this true form is an extremely potent Forbidden Instrument, housing power greater than what has been displayed in most fights. The left arm, often armored, is used for defense and deflection. There are, however, limitations to this power; it is unknown how long Guideau can maintain the true form or what happens if separated from the coffin, and these mechanics remain mysterious.
