Lumielle René Palettia

**Lumielle René Palettia** (リュミエル・レネ・パレッティア, *Ryumieru Rene Parettia*), nicknamed **Lumi** (ルミ, *Rumi*), is a spirit covenantor and the ancestor of the Kingdom of Palettia's royal family.

## Appearance

While seemingly around the same age as Anisphia, having completed a spirit covenant, Lumielle is actually a human-turned-spirit close to a thousand years old. Being the ancestor of the royal family, she possesses her descendants' trademark platinum blonde hair and green eyes, though in a paler shade. Similarly, her skin is also pale in color. She is of short stature and has a lean figure. Euphyllia described Lumielle's appearance as "otherworldly."

## Personality

Grantz describes Lumielle as "seeming propper but actually being quite misschievous."

Despite her misschievous nature, she is shown to be rather honest when it comes to answering questions. She was rather blunt when she warned that becoming a spirit will most likely result in the person who completed the spirit covenant to lose all sight of what it meant to be human as she did.

## History

Lumielle was born almost 1,000 years ago to the first king of the Kingdom of Palettia, who entered into a spirit covenant to "help his people" as they struggled to cultivate the still-developing land. Wishing to aid her father, she entered into one as well to "support him and the country." However, over time, the people grew greedy and requested her father use his power to conquer other lands, which he could not refuse due to the terms of his covenant. In the end, unable to bare seeing her father being used as a weapon, Lumielle killed him for the "greater good of the nation."

Following her father's death, Lumielle became the new queen of the Kingdom of Palettia. However, she was really just a figurehead and left the nation's internal affairs to her husband, a "Traveler" from another world who laid the foundations of what Palettia is today. At some point, Lumielle decided to abdicate her throne and abandon her family to go into isolation, believing it was for the best on account of her immortality. As a result, as time passed, she was gradually forgotten by the people.

Roughly 20 years before the beginning of the story, Lumielle was sought out by Orphans, Grantz, and Sylphine on how to enter a spirit covenant, hoping to gain royal status so the former would not have take the throne. However, while Granz met the necessary conditions, he ultimately opted not to upon learning of the immortality. Later on Euphyllia learns that there are more drawbacks to it.

## Powers and abilities

Being a spirit covenantor close to a thousand years old, Lumielle has had an immeasurable amount of time to hone her magical abilities. As a testament to her skills, she was confident that she could have singlehandedly taken on the dragon that took Anisphia and Euphyllia's combined effort to defeat.

### Magic

* **Clairvoyance**: Through unknown means, Lumielle seems to always be aware of everything happening within the Kingdom of Palettia.
* **Teleportation**: Lumielle has shown the ability to teleport, capable of appearing anywhere without being noticed and disappearing again just as suddenly, like a gust of wind.

### Spirit covenant

* **Eternal Youth**: Being a spirit covenantor, Lumielle is a spirit in human form who does not age. However, she will still die from being killed or from malnutrition. Similarly, as shown with Euphyllia in volume 5, she can also still get ill.

### Weaknesses

* **No Innate Magic Power**: As shown with Euphyllia, being a spirit means that Lumielle is incapable of generating her own magic power, needing to draw from outside sources.
	+ **Malnutrition**: Further compounding the issue of having no innate magic power is that, as shown with Euphyllia, being a spirit means that Lumielle is reliant on it as a form of "nutrition", and she will die if she were to run out.
* **Covenant Terms**: As shown with her father, being a spirit covenantor means that Lumielle is mentally incapable of violating the terms of her covenant.

## Trivia

* Lumielle's explanation of the drawbacks from being a spirit covenator differs from the light novel to the anime.
	+ In the light novel, it is further explained that a spirit covenantor's immortality stems from them becoming spirits bound by the wish that leads to the covenant, their bodies being reduced a mere vessel that houses their soul.
	+ In the anime, it is only mentioned that spirit covenators "lose their humanity" upon entering into a covenant and introduces a new drawback in the form of their feelings and emotions fading over time, though this could just be due to Lumielle's advanced age.
