Marie

Marie presents herself as a no-nonsense witch running a modest magic goods shop in the capital of the Azami Kingdom, supplementing her income by trading in valuable secrets. Handpicked by the Kunlun village chief Arca as a personal apprentice, she reluctantly takes on the role of guardian and landlady to the young Lloyd. Beneath her money-minded, perpetually exasperated exterior lies a closely guarded truth: she is the long-missing Princess Maria, living under an assumed name while desperately searching for a cure to the curse afflicting her father. Though she rarely misses a chance to grumble about Lloyd's antics or her master's eccentricities, her genuine care for those around her quietly shines through.
