Alcor

Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 4, page 131 is a familiar crow owned by Ursula.
==Description==
Alcor is a white crow with cyan eyes. He can be easily recognized with a yellow four-pointed star-shaped crest on his abdomen. The feathers on his wings are noticeably paler than the rest of his body.
As revealed in his Chariot Card, Alcor apparently can grow at least three times his original size. In the said state, his eyes assume darker coloration whereas his body and crest glow in white and yellow respectively.
==Abilities==
As with birds bred by witches as their familiar, Alcor can speak to Ursula via. bird language. He is also noticeably strong, able to fly while carrying Shiny Rod at the same time without much difficulty in What You Will.
In his giant form, his strength and speed apparently increased befitting his size as well. He apparently can also transform into his master's iconic Shiny Chariot hat.
==Plot==
===Background===
Chariot acquired Alcor as her familiar at some point during her time as a Luna Nova student.
===TV series===
====A New Beginning====
During Shiny Chariot's show in Japan, Alcor assists his mistress in making her entrance by flying onto the stage before turning into her iconic hat as she teleports her way there. He then turns back into his original form albeit in larger size to provide Chariot a footing as she destroys a Noir Dragon in the climax of her show. As her show concludes, they fly into a portal Shiny Chariot opened via. Shiny Arc.
When Sucy uses puppet magic to animate the plush toy version of Alcor, which then proceeds to poke Akko in the eye.
The real Alcor perceives the girls in the Arcturus Forest and alerts Ursula of that fact.
====Blue Moon====
Akko is introduced to Alcor when she visits Ursula's room to inquire about her "past" with Chariot. Akko does not know that Ursula's familiar is named Alcor, like her plush toy of Chariot's familiar. Akko does comment that it's the same species as Alcor but doesn't realize that he actually is him.
====Samhain Magic====
Alcor was called by Ursula to bring the Shiny Rod back to Akko. Ursula can also project her voice through Alcor because he is her familiar.
====Wagandea====
Alcor enters Ursula's room to alert her that Croix has taken Akko to Wangadea by flying in through her room.
===Mangas===
====Keisuke Satō Manga====
=====Chapter 1=====
Alcor perceives the girls in the Arcturus Forest and alerts Ursula of that fact.
==Relationships==
===Ursula===
Alcor is a loyal familiar to Ursula. She can call him to assist her by whistling. Alcor also informs her about strange events that he perceives. Ursula can also project her voice through Alcor, although Alcor can not project his voice through her.
===Akko Kagari===
Akko has a plush toy version of Alcor, and it's one of her most beloved possessions. Akko first met Alcor in "Blue Moon" and he seems the latter has a particular liking towards the former. Akko knows that Alcor is the same species at Chariot's familiar and looks the same, but doesn't connect the dots.
==Etymology==
Alcor is a star in the handle of the Big Dipper, a double star to Mizar that can be seen with the naked eye.
== Trivia ==
* The plush version of Alcor looks exactly the same as the real Alcor, except it's fatter and tinier due to being designed so it can become a small witch hat if turned inside out. It usually sits on Akko's desk.Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 2, page 19
* Dee Bradley Baker provided the voice of him in the English dub.
