Professor Ursula ( アーシュラ先生, Āshura-sensei) / Chariot du Nord ( シャリオ・デュノール, Shario dyu Nōru) Voiced by: Noriko Hidaka (Japanese) Alexis Nichols (English) Ursula Callistis ( アーシュラ・カリスティス, Āshura Karisutisu) is an astrology teacher at Luna Nova whose real identity is Chariot du Nord, a famous witch and alumni of Luna Nova who performed under the alias Shiny Chariot ( シャイニィシャリオ, Shainii Shario) and inspired Akko to become a witch. She often uses Akko as a test subject, or to help her in gathering the poisonous or hazardous ingredients (mushrooms in particular) she needs. Sucy Manbavaran ( スーシィ・マンババラン, Sūshi Manbabaran) Voiced by: Michiyo Murase (Japanese) Rachelle Heger, Anastasia Muñoz ( Space Patrol Luluco) (English) Akko's other friend and roommate, a cynical, mischievous witch from the Philippines who specializes in brewing potions with various bizarre effects. Her magical specialty involves summoning and communicating with fairies and spirits residing in old, well-used items. She has orange hair and wears lower-framed glasses. Lotte Jansson ( ロッテ・ヤンソン, Rotte Yanson) Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa (Japanese) Stephanie Sheh (English) Akko's friend and roommate, a kind and soft-spoken Finnish witch who worries about Akko's well-being. However, her unshakable belief in magic and her genuine desire to use it for good enables her to wield the Shiny Rod, which accepts her as its new master, and gradually discover her own magical talent. Having come from a non-magical background, she struggles using magic much of the time, and is disappointed by the mundanity of her classes as opposed to Chariot's more spectacular performances. As a result, she schemes to unlock the Grand Triskellion by force with use of artifacts powered by negative emotions she developed with her technomagical abilities and try to deter both Akko and her rival along the way.Ĭharacters Atsuko "Akko" Kagari ( カガリ アツコ (アッコ), Kagari Atsuko (Akko)) Voiced by: Megumi Han (Japanese) Erica Mendez (English) Akko is an energetic, optimistic, but very impulsive Japanese girl who attends Luna Nova after being inspired by the witch Shiny Chariot. However, Croix, Chariot's former best friend, had also coveted – and was denied – the power sealed within the Grand Triskellion due to her selfish ambitions. When Akko gains possession of the Rod, Chariot (secretly one of her Luna Nova teachers and the Rod's previous wielder) tries to guide her on the path to restoring the power of magic to the world. The key to undoing the seal lies in a sequence of seven magical words and the Shiny Rod, an artifact which reacts only to the wielder's genuine desire to spread joy and happiness. The secret to restoring the flow of magic lies within the forbidden Arcturus Forest, sealed inside a magical locale named the Grand Triskellion erected by the Nine Olde Witches, the legendary founders of the academy.
#TINY WITCH THE ANIME TV#
In the TV series, this background element is expanded into a plotline in which magic is waning across the world. One of the main themes in the franchise is Akko trying to live up to Shiny Chariot's ideals by showing the world that magic is still a wonderful thing, while Luna Nova struggles for its continual existence because the general public regards wizardry as outdated. This all changes when she discovers the Shiny Rod, a powerful magic relic left behind by Chariot. Having been inspired by a witch named Shiny Chariot, a girl named Atsuko "Akko" Kagari enrolls at Luna Nova Magical Academy to become a witch, but struggles due to her non-magical background. Little Witch Academia takes place at Luna Nova Magical Academy ( ルーナノヴァ魔法学校, Rūna Nova Mahō Gakkō), a prestigious school for young girls training to become witches.
