Shikikoza

Shikikoza (シキコーザ, Shikikooza) is a mednoble knight and former blue priest who was assigned to protect Myne with Damuel during the trombe extermination.

Due to his mana capacity being far lower than that of even weak mednobles, he has an inferiority complex and likes to take his frustration out on those of lower rank than himself. Furthermore his mother Gloria also greatly disrespects commoners, making his abuse of them even worse.

When Myne, one of the hated commoners, has a much bigger mana capacity and is granted blue robes thus in his mind lowering his former position as a blue priest even more, it plays directly into his complexes, instilling a deep hatred for her in him.

Shikikoza was born into a mednoble family, but had a far too low mana capacity to be accepted into the regular family. His father gave his mother three choices: Marry him off to a laynoble family, make him a family servant or send him to the temple. Since Gloria was aquainted with the High Priest she decided on sending him to the temple, where her contacts secured her son some advantages over most other blue priests.

When the civil war led to a mana shortage, Gloria managed to convince her husband to take Shikikoza back into the family and subsequently he was sent to the Royal Academy, after which he joined the Knight's Order.

 * The Japanese version of his name is "Shikikōza", which spelled backwards means "Small-Fry Knight" (雑魚騎士, zako kishi). The English translator was going to change to a different name in English with a similar meaning for localization, but the author requested a name that sounds similar to the original because of the anime.
