Wilhelmina Carmel

Wilhelmina Carmel, also known as Manipulator of Objects, Manipulator of Ten Thousand Ribbons and Specialist of Everything, is one of the main characters from the Shakugan no Shana series.
== Charactah Account ==
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.
Having been deeply hurt by the death of her best friend Mathilde and the heartbreak over her unrequited feelings for Merihim, Wilhelmina is very cold, aloof, stoic and pragmatic. She always speaks in a monotone and usually appears to be devoid of emotion, though this has been shown to not be the case on several occasions. She always speaks in an overly formal and polite manner, rarely addressing anyone by name (she even calls Shana "Milady", as though she were actually her maid rather than her guardian) and always using de arimasu, the uncontracted form of desu normally seen only in writing, to end her sentences. This is translated on some subtitles and the English dub as "Indeed".
As her title suggests, Wilhelmina is very skillful in many areas, like singing and house chores, and is the one who took care of Shana during the girl's training at Tendoukyuu. Cooking, however, is one of her weaknesses. Because of this, she usually prepares dishes which do not require cooking like instant noodles and pre-prepared dishes. In her attempt to please Shana by cooking food personally for her, she ends up trashing Yuuji's mother, Chigusa's kitchen. Wilhelmina is also the reason Shana developed such a fondness for melon bread.

== Trivia ==
* Wilhelmina's title's meaning is like the term for a player (in chess) who can predict moves far ahead. "Manipulator" (Shite) is also the term for a protagonist in Noh, a classical Japanese music drama which is notable for performers wearing masks.
* Despite her title being the "Specialist of Everything," it is known that Wilhelmina is terrible cook which is why she only buys microwavable or prepared foods for Shana.
* In the sixth episode of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, Nanami Nanashiro cosplays as Wilhelmina.
