Adél

Adél (アデル Aderu) is a witch and a Western Yōkai that appears in the 2018 anime adaptation. She is Agnès's older sister and the former female shōgun of Backbeard's army.
==Appearance==
Adél is a witch with fair skin, with long white hair, the sides are braided and tied together with the end of her back hair with a purple clip, causing several strands of hair to stand over her head. Her eyes have red irises and purple pupils with yellow centers, she wears lipstick and has purple earrings. She wears a dark green suit with a yellow trim, a matching short mantle, her sleeve ends with a white cuff and yellow trim with a pair of white gloves, her right hand up to her elbow has a red metallic-looking glove, a belt with several a long dark green skirt and grey metallic boots with brown tips and heels. The metallic glove is destroyed during the final battle with Backbeard, and she never replaces it.
==Personality==
Adél has a deep devotion and reverence to Backbeard, and a strong commitment to her mission and her destiny.
Agnès described her as utterly subservient to Backbeard's will, unable to escape his thrall, however she was just partly right: Adél believes in her destiny as much as she loves her sister, thus since they were little girls she pushed herself to serve Backbeard and improve her powers to gain enough leverage to sacrifice herself in Agnés' stead, suffering in silence and she was unable to tell her about her ideas.
Only when her ill-concocted, desperate plan fails her "true" personality surfaces, as a meek, motherly figure ready to do anything for her little sister, including giving away her life and pride.
==History==
===2018 Anime===
Before the events of the anime, Adél and Agnès were close sisters, as stated by Wolfgang. In those time Adèl was a diligent child and a promising buddying witch, and witnessed Agnès losing her temper and trying to use magic to make a crown for her mother, getting a huge crown that her mother torched on the spot.
As Backbeard noticed and praised the little witchling, forming his idea to use her for the Brigadoon Project, both Adél and her mother understood that Backbeard wanted to sacrifice her life, and they formulated, at the different times, the will to take her place and let her live 
As such, when their mother sacrificed herself under Backbeard's order, Adél was present to soothe Agnès pain and formulated her wish to study the mystical arts to surpass her and pledging utter alliance to Backbeard, so to be able to replace her as the nucleus of the Brigadoon Project and spare her life. That dug a deep rift between them, as Agnés merely interpretated her actions as being colder to her and wishing her dead to ensure Backbeard's will and she was unable to tell her the whole truth 
Episode 27: When the the alarm in the room that contained the Ring of Arcana is set off, Adél inspects the room and presumes that her sister Agnès has stolen it, remarking that it is a foolish thing to do. When her sister is cornered by the living armor army, she teleports to her location, declares that she does nothing but make wrong choices and tries to get the ring back. She is a proud member of the family of witches that has served Backbeard for generations, so she becomes angry when her sister betrays them.
She then bestows Wolfgang with several of her Magic Stones, sending him to retrieve Agnès. upon his failure, she summons the rest of the Western Yōkai Army, including Carmilla and Victor Frankenstein to go personally to the GeGeGe Forest.GeGeGe no Kitarō (2018): Episode 27

She makes her move when Kitarō, empowered by Agnès' magic, is still trying to destroy the Ring of Arcana, stealing it from him: however Kitarō, seeing the ruination of the forest and the Western Yōkai mercilessly beating his friends, manages to gain full control of Agnès' magic and beats Adél to a standstill, crushing her metallic gauntlet and countering her magic.
