Miranda Holbrooke/Relationships

#### Akko Kagari

Akko was one of the first non-witches to ever enroll in Luna Nova Academy. Unlike the other teachers (with the exception of Ursula), Holbrooke sees the potential within Akko and enjoys the results of her endeavors, such as when Akko spiced up her role in the festival and Akko's prominence within the fairie's strike. Towards the end of "Blytonbury's Undead Travelogue" when Akko accidentally revives Miranda's deceased father, Mr. Holbrooke, instead of expelling Akko for breaking a school rule, she instead punishes Akko, Lotte, and Sucy by making them repair the school's broken brooms without the use of magic.

### Luna Nova Faculty Staff

#### Anne Finnelan

Holbrooke respects and appreciates Finnelan for her dedication as a teacher; however, she also finds her extreme rigidity with students slightly old-fashioned.

Badcock's penny-pinching approach that made her limiting the school cafeteria's menu to potato-based dishes and amount of shared magic energy for faery custodians under Luna Nova's employment which leaves much to be desired).

#### Ursula Callistis

Holbrooke is very kind to Ursula, despite her clumsiness as a teacher. Unlike other faculty staff, Holbrooke has knowledge of her past as Shiny Chariot, and rejoices to see her image on Akko's Chariot Card, calling Chariot "everyone's idol". Though unconfirmed, it's implied that she helped Ursula in remaining incognito following her failure in her own quest for Seven Words of Arcturus and Grand Triskellion.

#### Luna Nova Faery Custodians

Holbrooke maintains a neutral professional relationship with faery custodians under Luna Nova's employment and admittedly wishes to improve their welfare when they finally commence a strike in "New Age Magic". Yet at the same time, she is torn whether to do so considering the potential friction with her more traditionalistic fellow Luna Nova staff (ex. Finnelan) that it takes them angered by the attack on one of their own she finally follows their demand, even it if means willing to accept utilization of Croix's magitronic designs.

A full-grown Mandrake appears as a plant with a long green stem, several thorny vines used as prehensile tentacles to ensnare prey or enemies who dare to approach it, and a flower of bright purple colors that opens to unveil a large glowing mouth to swallow the captured prey whole. It begins to develop its flower and vines sometime after reaching the age of 5 years, given that Sucy's 5-year-old Mandrake in the manga still lack them.

Its roots on the other hand, resemble a human with appearance depend on its age; yonger mandrakes' barely resembles a human baby while adult ones a full-grown man. When unearthed, the root will release a powerful scream that can kill any ordinary human or animal who hear it as the form of defensive mechanism.

Young roots can be used to make potions capable of restoring the magical power of a witch and the mature ones may even temporarily make her stronger than usual. But cautions must be taken when handling overflowing power from consuming potion derived from older mandrakes: Lack of control with overflowing magic would be disastrous.

Many of them encountered by Akko and co. over the course of their exploration at the seven regions accessible via Sealed Door of Horologium Chamber. As with other monsters, they are shown to be aggressive, though it's not elaborated whether ones encountered by the young witches are still working for the undead lord whom converted them, had become independent undeads for quite some time and encountered by chance, or both. **Hollows** however, are mostly (if not all of them) independent spirit minions since they are not mentioned working for any undead lords unlike **Invisible Assassins** according to Strange Notebook. One of the Hollows even shown assisting Molly and the girls arranging books at the library following the sealing of Horologium Chamber by Ursula. Even so, it's not even elaborated whether the said Hollow was a truly independent spirit minion contracted by Molly as her familiar or rather, a magical puppet which strikingly resembling one controlled via.

### Invisible Assassin

## Powers and Abilities

While not very powerful, Spirit Minions are still formidable adversaries. Both are capable of disappearing and reappering at will as well as projecting fiery purple bolts, but Invisible Assassins are much more dangerous thanks to their ability to ambush their victims and snatch away their soul, rendering them in vegetative state until their stolen soul is restored. As with regular ghosts, they are suspectible to anything that can banish them, including magic.

Skeleton

## Skeletons

* Common
* Skeleton Warrior
* Bone Knight

**Skeletons** are a type of undead creatures featured as enemies in *Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time*.

## Description

Skeletons are undead beings which, true to their namesake, skeletal remains of once-living creatures reanimated by mystical forces. Though their flesh has since reduced to dust as the result of decomposition, skeletons are as fast and agile as they were in life. Depending on how they were revived, skeletons can be either mindless puppet of the very force that reanimated them or retaining their sense of self, intelligence, and memories in life to some degree like revenants.

There are three types of skeletons:

### Common Skeletons

Common skeletons encountered by Akko and co. are implied to once either a soldier or a pirate, judging from their weapons (a scimitar and a round wooden shield) and attire (a worn-out medieval round helmet and tattered leather pants).

### Skeleton Warriors

Judging from both Strange Notebook's description and tattered uniform (including tricorn hat) these skeletons wear, Skeleton Warriors were once captains of a long fallen kingdom in life. They still believed that they are fighting for their home kingdom, and may or may not aware that the very kingdom they protected and their comrades-in-arms already gone long time ago. They are armed with a round metal shield and a worn-out sword with wavy blade akin to kris.

### Bone Knights

Bone Knights are skeletons that once formidable knights trained in the art of dual wielding in life, though at one point prior or during their mortal death, one of their signature swords was either broken or missing. As a result, upon their reanimation, these reanimated skeletons were forced to carry a shield for extra protection until they found a replacement for their missing/destroyed second sword. While there are several bone knights encountered by Akko and co. and they all share same abilities retained in life, Strange Notebook specifically mentioned a particular bone knight who ironically killed by the very missing sword he seek.

## Powers and Abilities

As they were once skillful soldiers in life, skeletons are formidable adversary in close-quarter combat. While combat skills they retain in life already made skeletons challenging adversaries, they are said to able to put themselves back together each time they suffer grave injuries.

Vampire

**Vampires** are a type of Undead that sparsely mentioned in *Little Witch Academia* series. Much of their lore has yet to be explored until this point, let alone survival status and whether they were affected by the decay of Magic throughout the world as much as witches and wizards do prior to Yggdrasil's restoration. Nevertheless, they are among well-known magical beings thanks to their various portrayals in popular culture, most notably in Night Fall series which featured one, Edgar, as one of the protagonists.

## Description

Possibly on the same vein with their mythical accounts, vampires are deceased humans revived by a contagious curse. As with revenants, they retain their intelligence, memories, and sense of self in life upon reanimation, but are plagued by bloodthirst — they must periodically consume blood both as sustenance and to maintain their sanity in their undeath state. Other changes upon the transformation include pale skin and fangs, vampires' most distinct trait which allows them to feed. The same goes for mortals who ended up contracted vampirism, but the symptoms supposedly can be cured with proper procedures.

## Powers and Abilities

Upon their reanimation/conversion, vampires are supposedly endowed with supernaturally enhanced physiology that includes enhanced strength, speed, and regeneration to the point of being virtually immortal as long as their heart and spinal column remain intact (beheading and severe damage on heart typically via. staking are fatal to vampires); and special abilities unique to themselves, most notably dispersing into swarms of bats for quickly transverse through distances and obstacles in addition of enhanced magical capabilities. Lastly, they can convert mortals into another vampires, most likely through introduction of vampire blood into the target's bloodstream instead of bite so as to avoid spreading their mystical affliction like a plague.

However, their unique powers come with a price. Other than bloodthirst, vampires suffer aversion to sunlight (which inflicts mild discomfort as much as nocturnal animals at best and varying degree of burns at worst), silver, garlic, and hawthorn. Should the nature of their vampirism proved to be demonic, vampires in question will also display aversion to religious implements (ex. crosses, holy water, consecrated ground) and lost their reflection in any reflective surface.

## Trivia

* Elizabeth, a scrapped character who originally intended to appear in Little Witch Academia film and its sequel, is a vampire.
