Wilhelmina Carmel

Wilhelmina Carmel is one of the main protagonists of the light novel and anime series Shakugan No Shana. She is a Flame Haze who has taken care of Shana ever since she was young. Their relationship is very akin to that of a mother and daughter, although both have trouble expressing this openly. She is bound to the Crimson Lord Tiamat, the Tiara of Illusions and Dreams.
She is voiced by Shizuka Itō in the Japanese version of the anime, while in the English version she is voiced by Anna Cummer in season 1 and Carli Mosier in seasons 2 & 3.
==Overview==
Wilhelmina is a young lady that wears a maid's uniform all the time and the one who took care of Shana during the girl's training. She is bound to "Crown-and-Sash of Fantasies" Tiamat, whose will resides in the divine vessel Persona, which shifts forms between a headband, and a mask when in battle.
She is one of the great Flame Hazes from the age of the Great War, fighting alongside her friend, Mathilde Saint-Omer (the previous "Flaming-Haired, Blazing-Eyed Hunter"). Her ability is the power to control an infinite number of ribbons which appear from around her. Wilhelmina, who always speaks in an overly formal and polite manner, has nearly no expression.
==Appearance==
Wilhelmina is a young, beautiful lady of Dutch descent who wears a maid outfit consisting of a purplish dress with puffy sleeves, a white apron and a yellow ribbon tied on her neck. She also wears a petticoat and a pair of knee-high boots. When Yuji Sakai asked her why she chose that outfit, she said she asked around about what outfit befits a person serving royalty, and the maid outfit was the answer. After finding it really practical, she has worn it ever since. The vessel of her contracting Crimson Lord Tiamat assumes the form of a maid's headband.
In the Great War, she wore a long yellow gown.
==Powers & Abilities==
*Manipulation of Ribbons: As described by her Flame Haze title, her primary ability is the power to control an infinite number of ribbons which appear from around her. She uses this in a variety of ways acts as both defence, offence, and an aid for movement.
*Persona: In battle, the vessel which Tiamat resides in, Persona, is able to change from a headband to a mask which has an incredible number of ribbons extending from it, making it easier for Wilhelmina to battle, simply because Wilhelmina doesn't have to summon the ribbons herself, instead using the ribbons from her mask, these ribbons can create powerful explosions and summon giant fireballs.
===Unrestricted Spells===
*Stigma-breaking Insignia: Wilhelmina inherits the Unrestricted Spell that was originally developed by Johann, to combat Sabrac's Stigma.
*Fūzetsu: Like most Flame Haze, Wilhelmina is capable of casting a Fūzetsu.
*Hishō: Wilhelmina is capable of flying at great speeds by using Power of Existence.
