Marcille Donato

Marcille Donato is the deuteragonist of the adventure and fantasy seinen series Delicious in Dungeon. She is hybrid elven mage and an integral member of Laios Touden' party. She is on a quest to devise the perfect dungeon, hoping to use safe dungeons to benefit society and help her loved ones keep up with her incredible longevity.
She is voiced by in Japanese and by (who also portrays Nami in the Netflix adaptation of One Piece series) in English.
==Appearance==
Marcille is a young blonde woman of average height with long hair that is usually tied with a few two braids on both sides near her ears and a ribbon attached behind her head. However, she also ties her hair in different styles. As a half tall-man and elf hybrid, she is actually in her early 50s despite having a youthful appearance. She has round elf ears, unlike pure-blood elves' ears are sharps. Her main attire pale and khaki-colored cloth surrounding her shoulders and upper arms over her dark blue-colored robe. Her waist is surrounded by a belt with a pocket, along with a book attached with a pale brown-colored belt. She wears sandals of the same colors. As a mage, her wand is made of wood, is circular at the end with a leaf sprouting out, and is inches shorter than Marcille in height. Marcille's right eye also lacks eyelashes after they broke off when she was petrified, though they eventually grow back.
==Personality==
Marcille is an expressive, but brilliant girl who has typically short tempered tendecies and unwavering loyalty to her companions. However, she struggles with anxiety, is hesitant and finds it challenging to confront unfamiliar situations, like consuming monsters. Her confidence in her magical prowess stems from her upbringing, yet she experiences isolation when unable to contribute her expertise to the group. It is ubiquitous for her to often panic and deny anything that disturbs her, therefore, she avoids to eat anything that looks unfit for her to consume, leading her to refuse outloudly whenever her friends proposes to eat a variety of monster. Although, she cannot help herself to try the actual dish of the monster that she initially deemed as disgusting for her to eat when she hears others' positive reviews of the dish. 
Marcille demonstrates a degree of naivety, holding the belief that friendships alone suffice to maintain group cohesion. Confronted with disagreeable situations, she exhibits a tendency toward short temperedness. Additionally, she grapples with insecurity regarding the use of forbidden dark magic, evident in her apprehension when disclosing plans to resurrect Falin. Criticism of her dark magic usage evokes profound guilt, exemplified by her remorse in facing Shuro's disapproval of the methods employed to revive Falin. 
==Trivia==
*Marcille enjoys seafood and nuts but dislikes unusual foods, hence her initial reluctance to eat monsters.
*Marcille is apparently flexible enough to do headspins, doing handstands on a regular basis (e.g when she pouts) as well.
*Despite her young appearance, Marcille is actually 50 years old, with her ageing being decelerated by her half-elven heritage. In fact, Marcille’s life expectancy was compared to that of the Ancients, who could live up to 1000 years.
**This decelerated ageing serves as one of her drives to create a perfect dungeon as she wishes to help her loved ones live forever thanks to witnessing the deaths of her pet bird and father. Fortunately, she soon abandons this goal after learning the caveats of being a dungeon lord and learns to accept her longevity for the sake of her friends.
*Seeing as the cuisine served in her hometown seems to draw inspiration from Italian cuisine and her surname, Donato, is Italian in origin, it's possible that Marcille comes from a region analogous to Italy.
*Marcille's constant usage of explosion magic may be a reference to a gag in the Dungeons and Dragons community, in which wizard users cast the spell Fireball nearly constantly when given the opportunity. This is most highlighted when Marcille proposes to get rid of the ghosts with "a gentle explosion", showing her obsessive use of explosion spells.
*As revealed in additional doodles by the mangaka Ryoko Kui, Marcille might use magic when she uses the bathroom since Chilchuck notes she's much more quiet than any of the party members.
*Marcille’s first death in the Dungeon was caused by a slime smothering her.
*Marcille likes romance novels, particularly an in-universe series called The Daltian Clan, recommending it to her friends and possessing all of the volumes.
*Marcille has a gnome stepfather who her mother married shortly after her father Donato’s death.
