Angelica

Angelica (アンゲリカ Angerika) is an apprentice knight who is assigned as Rozemyne's bodyguard while she is at the Aub's castle with Cornelius.

Angelica is a slender, pretty and cute looking young girl with light blue hair and dark blue eyes. She looks about the same age as Cornelius.

Angelica is generally very calm and emotionless. If given orders by her superiors or master, she will immediately - and literally - do as she's told without wasting a second thinking about possible interpretations or consequences of said orders.

She is very dedicated to strengthening her manablade.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 3 Due to the lack of interest and enthusiasm she shows for practically everything in life except fighting and guard duty, many people came to believe she was just plain lazy, but she is very diligent and dedicated when it comes to training, strengthening her mana-blade and armour-feystone and embroidering magic circles onto her cape, as well as her duties as a guard knight.

Angelica comes from a family with a long and proud tradition as attendants. But because of her hatred for studying, Angelica decided to break with the family tradition, believing that a knight would have to study much less than an attendant. Despite this less than ideal reason for choosing her path, she proofed herself a capable fighter.

She uses her slender build and enhancement magic to cultivate a speed-based combat style, complemented well by her manablade.


 * Friedel: Attendant

Angelica joins Rozemyne's staff after Rozemyne's baptism. She is a mednoble and only guards Rozemyne during her stays at the castle.

When Rozemyne asked her attendants about the Royal Academy, Angelica says she only chose to become a knight as she does not like to study, which shocks Rozemyne.

During the winter break after Angelica comes back from the Royal Academy, her parents ask for an audience with Rozemyne. Upon granting the audience Rozemyne finds out that Angelica is failing her course and her parents want her dismissed as her bodyguard. Instead Rozemyne decides to form a study group with Damuel, Cornelius and Brigitte, promising them a reward if Angelica passes her retake exams. Rozemyne also motivates Angelica with a reward. If Angelica passes her knight course, Rozemyne would give her mana to Angelicas manablade.

Upon passing her supplementary lesson from the academy at the end of spring, Angelica headed back home to Ehrenfest and rejoined Rozemynes guard knights. When Rozemyne was going to give her mana to Angelicas manablade, the guard knights discussed what the best attribute would be to focus on. The discussion was to decide whether to increase the length of the blade or give it more mana aptitudes. In the end it was left to Rozemyne who poured her mana into the manablade and thought of giving the sword intelligence upon which she recalled Ferdinand as being similar to what Angelica needed. Afterwards Ferdinand came to check upon the manablade and poured his own mana into the blade to check it, which resulted in the blade being granted intelligence and the voice of Ferdinand.

Following it's awakening, Angelica decided to give the blade the name Stenluke and became very devoted to it.

During the kidnapping attempt that caused Rozemyne to fall into a coma that lasted for two years, her power, loyalty and dedication, as well as her use of Enhancement Magic caught the eye of Bonifatius and eventually let to him taking her on as his disciple. Under his tutelage her skill in Enhancement Magic as well as all her other fight-related abilities were honed to a razor's edge. Combined with the raw magical power she gained from the Rozemyne Mana Compression Method her combat abilities have moved far beyond what anyone would expect of a mere mednoble of such a young age and fair statue.

In the ditter match against Dunkelfelger an attack by her was enough to deflect the enormous shockwave of a fully-powered mana-strike by Cornelius completely, keeping Rozemyne behind her perfectly safe, while all around her knights were send flying and tumbling, despite attempts to brace themselves.

While Rozemyne's motivations and encouragements, as well as the "Raise Angelica’s Grades Squadron" Rozemyne organized helped to make sure that she didn't come close to failing her gratuation even during the two years Rozemyne was in a coma, the presence of her mistress still shows a marked difference. With Rozemyne present at the academy, Angelica has shown far more motivation and willingness to study than ever before, managing to clear a full third of all her courses in just three weeks without any futher prompting or baiting.

Upon being offered to be taught the fourth stage of the Rozemyne Mana Compression Method if she can manage to finish the remaining two thirds within the next three weeks, before Rozemyne had to return to Ehrenfest for the Dedication Ritual, Angelica's dedication to Stenluke and gaining every bit of mana she can get for it makes her motivation shoot through the roof and causes her to pour her absolute all into her studies. While Rozemyne initially believed it was impossible for Angelica to finish this assignment, Cornelius is convinced that she will make it, explaining that in his eyes Angelica's devotion to Stenluke was the same that Rozemyne has for the library and stated they had the same sparkle in their eyes when talking about their respective object of obsession.

Against Rozemyne's expectations, Angelica does indeed succeed in finishing her classes in time and acompanies her mistress back to Ehrenfest. There she is given special permission to guard Rozemyne at the temple, despite not being of age yet.

Usually apprentice knights are only allowed to guard archduke candidates inside the archduke's castle, but the decision to make an exception here is made due to Rozemyne not having any adult female guard knights in her service at the moment, Angelica's skills and the fact that Angelica herself very much wants to do this. That she has just reached her 15th year also helps to justify this decision.

Angelica is very happy and eager to resume guarding her ward after all the studying she did. Unlike other nobles she doesn't seem the slightest bit perturbed about entering the temple and shows no signs of disrespecting the grey priests despite them being commoners. She also has no problem with being instructed by Damuel who despite being her senior is still just a layknight and thus most other mednobles would disregard any advice he has for them.

Spoiler for Part 4 Volume 3 During her guard duty at the tmple, the winter blizzeards threatened to prevent Angelica from traveling to and from the temple each day, so she got permission from her parents to stay at the temple over-night, in order to continue guarding her mistress. This permission was necessary since she's still a minor.

Unlike all the other guard knights, Angelica was spared having to help with the temple's paper-work, since even Ferdinand didn't want to include her due to her stark incompetence when it comes to math. When he threatened Rozemyne with his schtappe as part of a bluff, she actually drew her sword and jumped between the two, but was soon tricked by Ferdinand to move away to train with Eckhart.


 * Angelica has elemental affinities for Fire and Wind, but she failed to get Schutzaria's divine protection.
 * She specializes in Enhancement magic.
 * Thanks to the Rozemyne Mana Compression Method Angelica has an unusually large mana capacity for a mednoble.


 * According to Ferdinand, Angelica is a perfect fit to stand guarding during tea parties and feasts.
 * Apprentice knights are not allowed to be given assignments outside the noble's quarter hence why she only guards Rozemyne at the castle.
 * Brigitte notes that Angelica is willing to go to the temple once she comes of age, whereas most female knights return home to prepare for marriage once turning fifteen.
