Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen

Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen, also known as Illu and Ace of Diamonds, is one of main characters from the World of Witches series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eila is the top ace of the Suomus witch corps where she held the rank of captain (the rank indicated by the three roses on her collar). She is an expert at reading people, allowing her to predict her companions' actions and outwit her enemies. Her ability to read people combined with her ability to see the future means that in the air she is nearly untouchable.
Eila's hobby is fortune-telling with tarot cards, although the accuracy of her predictions is questionable at best. Similar to stereotypes of her familiar (the black fox), she has a reputation for mischief, being fond of pranks amongst her colleagues and is somewhat mischievous. She has a talent for analyzing the thoughts and feelings of her companions, and this skill translates well to the battlefield where her judgment is used to consistently outwit her opponents. Eila is always together with Sanya, who is very attached to Eila, and Eila loves her dearly.
Bouncy and restless girl who is always full of energy and enthusiasm. Open and friendly Eila kept very relaxed in any situation. She has a reputation for cheerful and carefree merry prankster. She makes her courageous and persistent man, a loyal friend, in spite of carelessness and thoughtlessness.

== Trivia ==
* Eila is based on the #1-ranked Finnish flying ace (and #1-ranked non-German flying ace) Eino Ilmari Juutilainen. Like Eila, he bore the nickname "Illu" amongst his friends. Her magic ability, Foresight, is a reference to Eino having never been hit by enemy fire.
* She is committed to a healthy diet and eats everything from reindeer, elk, cod, salmon, rye bread, dairy products to Suomus dishes. She also eats sashimi, but only herring as she has bad memories and is not good at it. Her specialty is sandwiches.
* She started a radio program called "Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen's Life Consultation" and was trying to get help from team members.
* She tends to grope her friends' chest, similarly to Francesca Lucchini, and actively take action against anyone other than Sanya. In particular, Sergeant Bishop is likely to be targeted. When she was asked her impression on the other members, she mentioned the chest size of all members except Sanya.
* Once, she used tarot cards to try to get along with Sanya, but was unable to flip the card under the pressure that it may have bad consequences.
* Her familiar is officially titled as a "black fox", though as no such animal exists, it is most likely referring to a silver fox, which are known to sometimes be black in color, especially around the ears and tail.
* Eila's middle name, Ilmatar, is not only a play on "Ilmari", her archetype's middle name, but is also a reference to the air goddess Ilmatar, from the Finnish mythological epic the Kalevala. The thematic connection between the witches and wind spirits is strong, but not confirmed.
* Aside from using the gender-neutral "watashi" to refer to herself, Eila uses exclusively masculine vocabularies and syntaxes in the Japanese version.
