Ininia

**Ininia** (イニニア, *Ininia*) is a apprentice witch currently serving under a mysterious witch named Restys.

## Appearance

Ininia resembles a young teenage girl with blonde hair and lavender eyes; she is roughly the same age as Coco, Tartah and Custas. She wears a large cloak that is indigo on the outside and magenta on the inside, of which hides her white-laced dress uniform.

The dress itself has sleeves too long for her, covering her white gloves which are etched with an unknown time-reversal glyph. She also wears white tights and short purple boots. Her witch hat is indigo in color and is wrapped in a long lavender ribbon which also ties up her hair into horn protrusions.

Ininia is a very quiet girl that barely shows any emotions, making it hard to tell anything about her personality, but two things are almost certain: She is very loyal to her master, Restys, and she believes that the Pointed Hat Witches are the bad ones for not allowing other witches and unknowings to have access to forbidden magic, in which healing spells were included. Ininia talks in third person and is very aloof, looking down on those she is not close with. She also has a very simple view on friendship, with people she declares as friends being spared from her more harmful magic.

## Magical Items

Ininia carries a long wooden staff with a lightly-colored lavender crystal ball inside. Moreover, her white gloves have magic ink etched inside of it, allowing her to reverse time on a local scale. The staff that Ininia carries is also capable of flight, and she would use it like a classical witch's broomstick.

## Plot

### Custas' Freedom

Ininia first appeared as a mysterious figure, observing Coco and Tartah attempting to alleviate the burden of Custas's injuries. Custas was delighted being given a magical cape by his friends, he bid them farewell until they meet again at the Silver Eve. However, one night while camping with Dagda, they were ambushed by bandits who were set on revenge for Dagda's perceived slights against them.

Dagda immediately and forcefully ejected Custas into the sky with his flying cape in order to save him. After Dagda fought, Custas flew back down to check on his companion who was grievously wounded. Ininia finally revealed herself, telling Custas the true nature of witchcraft before healing Dagda via reversing time. She then extended her hand to Custas, tempting him to join her side by fixing his legs.

### The Bargain

Ininia later appeared after Custas - now a fully-fledged Brimmed Cap - 'reunited' with Coco and Tartah. She appeared suddenly behind the two before summoning a magical restraining bracelet that will burn through their veins if they so much as resist; coercing the two into doing their bidding, which is to break the ideas and control of the Pointed Hat witches.

After Galga was injured by Custas, Ininia told him that he shouldn't know the Brimmed Cap witches' plans. She then used a memory erasure glyph to erase Galga's memories. Later, during the attack by Engendale, Ininia is seen enraged because his actions interfered with the Brimmed Cap witches' plans. Communicating with Ininia through her staff, Lord Restys told Ininia that due to the chaos, it will be easier to contact King Deanreldy. Ininia agreed to contact King Deanreldy and affirmed her servitude to Restys. While Ininia was talking to Restys, a building almost collapsed on top of her: she was saved by Galga. However, her communication staff broke from the falling rubble; she can no longer speak to Restys.

Galga worries for Ininia's safety and invites her to come with him to the medical tower as a refugee. Ininia initially rejects his help but after Atwert and Galga meet each other, she realizes that she may be able to get closer with King Deanreldy by going to the refuge. While being carried by Galga to the medical tower, she is seen feeling conflicted about the fact that Galga had someone close to him who was affected by his memory erasure.

## Relationships

### Restys

From the little that was shown of their relationship, Ininia shows incredible loyalty to her master Restys, asking her Lord for permission to conduct her spells and rituals with absolute respect.

### Custas

Ininia's relationship with Custas is that of a master and apprentice. As he is still new in the world of magic and emotionally unstable, Custas follows around Ininia as his personal 'savior'. As such, Ininia acts as a dependable guide to Custas.
