Ottilie Fohkelpi

* Manga
* Light Novel

## Identity

Ottilie Fohkelpi is a supporting character introduced during the third episode of the Light Novel series and an ally to Flum Apricot and her friends.

## Appearance

Ottilie has red hair worn in curly pigtails adorned with black and purple butterfly hairclips and a black hair ribbon going across the top of her head, and has green eyes. Ottlie's eyes turn red when she activates her "Genocide Arts". She wears a white coat with black cuffs and a collar and dark yellow lining. A light gray button-up shirt, a red ascot tie, and dark yellow lining, a brown leather sword belt with a dark yellow belt buckle, white shorts with dark yellow knee braces, black knee-high socks, and black high-heeled shoes with dark yellow shin guards.

## Personality

### **Web Novel version**

Her personality could be described as borderline psychopathic. She gets easily jealous of anyone she even perceives as a threat to her affection for Henrietta, regardless if they are interested or not. She had no qualms about harming Flum when she was unable to fight back. However, she eventually had a change of attitude.

### **Light Novel version**

Similar to the Web Novel, Ottilie remains completely smitten by Henrietta, but her personality is far more stable by comparison. She is almost shameless in how strong she is attracted to Henrietta. When Flum and Milkit find Ottilie messing around with Henrietta’s bedsheets, she doesn’t bother to hide it.

She is kinder and more respectful as demonstrated in her introduction in both the Light Novel and the Manga where she bows before Flum out of respect for her being one of the seven chosen heroes. Despite her attraction to Henrietta, she takes her job seriously and protects innocent civilians.

## History

Not too much is known about Ottilie‘s background other than that she was childhood friends with Henriette, and she became devoted to her. She joined the Royal Army because of Henriette and rose up in the ranks to be her right hand woman.

In Volume 02/Episode 03, it is revealed she escorted Flum to the Royal Capital after Flum was selected to be one of the seven heroes for the great journey. She promised Flum's parents that she would watch out for Flum while she was gone. She has also had interactions with Jean since she knew about his less than favorable traits.

## Synopsis

### Episode 03

Ottilie makes her first appearance in the Light Novel when encounters Flum visiting a Church. She quickly makes note of the slave brand on Flum’s cheek and deduces it was Jean who did that to her. She apologizes to Flum for what happened to her as she promised her parents she would look out for her. She offers to be of assistance to Flum whenever she can, and she gives Flum an invitation to visit her when she needs to.

Later on, Ottilie realized that Flum might have a more difficult time taking her up in her invitation due to her Slave Mark. As a result, Ottilie decides to pay Flum a visit. She ends up tracking down where Flum's House is located. While visiting, she finds out that Eterna Rinebow has also quit being a member of the Hero’s Party, and she is introduced to Milkit and Ink Wreathcraft.

Even though Flum isn’t there at the time Ottilie speaks with Eterna and Milkit. Much to her dismay, she finds out Gadhio Lathcutt will most likely quit the Hero’s Party as well, which ends up being true. Despite that, Ottilie is happy that Flum has some good roommates to keep her company.

While they are talking, Ottilie and Eterna become aware that Dein Phineas‘ men are about to attack the house. They quickly surmise that Flum is most likely in danger as well. While Ottilie offers to help Eterna deal with Dein’s men, Eterna makes it clear that she can handle it, and she should help Flum.

As Flum is attempting to fight back against Dein’s men and the corrupt guards he has on his side, Ottilie arrives to make short work out of a number of them. As she takes down Dein’s men, she chides him for getting so many men organized just to kill Flum.

Ottilie and Flum work together to take down as many of Dein’s men as possible. Eventually, this forces Dein and the remainder of his men to retreat. Flum and Ottilie attempt to use their ranged attacks to stop him, but he successfully escapes.

In the aftermath of the battle, Ottilie gives Flum her coat to cover up her body due to all the clothing damage she suffered while Dein’s men were trying to kill her. She apologizes to Flum for what happened, and she would do her best to make sure people know that Flum is innocent of the crimes Dein tried to frame her for. She’ll also ensure the corrupt guards who sided with Dein would be thoroughly punished. Flum states that while she wishes she could say what she went through wasn’t a big deal, she says the whole situation was ridiculous, and she just wants to go home to see Milkit much to Ottilie’s amusement.

When Flum attempts to visit Ottilie later, it is revealed she had gone missing. When she was investigating mysterious circumstances, she was forced on the run. Not even Henriette Bachsenheim was aware of where Ottilie could be. While Flum was concerned, she was certain that Ottilie was alive.

It is later revealed she became a target of the Origin Eyes. She and Eterna appear together alive and well, and they provide Flum and Gadhio some support. They fight the Spiral Children as they make their way to find Milkit and Ink.

After Flum defeated Dein and the Spiral Children make a retreat, she along with Eterna and Gadhi find Flum, Milkit, and Ink. She takes part in helping Eterna cut out the Origin Core in Ink’s chest and replace it with Dein’s heart.

### Episode 04

When Flum and Milkit visit Ottilie in hopes of finding out information on the Necromancy group, they find her in a precarious position. Even Milkit feels dumbfounded and disturbed by what she sees.

Ottilie reveals that she unfortunately didn’t have any information to give Flum and Milkit regarding the the Necromancy team, but she’ll be sure to support them in anyway she can. Henrietta later orders Ottilie to follow Flum. As a result, she eventually finds the outskirts of the Village.

When Satils had the dead attack all the living relatives, Ottilie and her men played a role in helping the survivors. She also successfully manages to arrest one of the people involved in the incident.

At the end of the Episode, Henriette convinces Ottilie to resign from the Royal Army before they are absorbed by the church knights. It is revealed that this proves to be a wise decision due to many people who have opposing views to the Church knights being killed.

### Episode 05

Ottilie saves Nekt, and she is officially a mercenary.

She saves Milkit, Ink, and Hallom from being kidnapped by the church and starts a rivalry with one of the church officials as a result.

## Adaptation Differences

### General

By Kiki’s own admission, Ottilie has most likely had the greatest change in character and role between the original Web Novel and Light Novel.

In the original Web Novel, Ottilie makes her debut in Episode 06, and she is an enemy of Flum. In the Light Novel, she is introduced in Episode 03, and she is Flum's friend from the start. While her admiration and love for Henrietta is consistent, her personality is far more stable in the Light Novel, and she is much nicer and respectful to others.

In the manga adaptation, Ottilie is introduced during the equivalent of Episode 02's adaptation. She is introduced in a manga exclusive scene in Chapter 11 where she defends Flum from corrupt guards who are harassing her. As a result of her early introduction, she makes her debut before Milkit’s face is healed or Ink is introduced. She also finds out Eterna is Flum’s roommate much earlier than in the Light Novel. She also mentions Henrietta during her conversation with Flum and Eterna, so Henrietta’s existence is established earlier in the manga as well.

### Episode 02

Ottilie does not appear in either the Web Novel or Light Novel version of this episode, but she is introduced in the later chapters of manga equivalent.

During Chapter 11, Flum Apricot is threatened by several corrupt guards while Flum is shopping. As Flum is about to engage in combat, they are interrupted by Ottilie using her power to cut down and paralyze the guards. Flum makes note that neither of the guard is physically harmed. Without realizing she is speaking to Flum, she informs and assures the girl that there are no orders to capture former slaves. As she is about to leave, she recognizes Flum and is shocked to find out Flum has a mark of a slave. Flum brings Ottilie to her house to catch her up to speed.

Ottilie is shocked to learn that Jean went as far as to sell Flum into slavery. She is also surprised that Eterna Rinebow is Flum's roommate and no longer a member of the Hero's Party. After calming down, Ottilie apologies to Flum about letting this happen as she promised Flum's parents she would watch out for her to which Flum tells her it is fine. Ottilie then explains why she was in the area in the first place. She was hoping to locate and arrest Dein who had been gathering too much influence in the West District. The causes Flum to decide she needs to be ready to take action as well.

In Chapter 12, when Milkit is kidnapped by Dein, Ottilie shows up to help Flum cut down several of Dein’s men which forces him to retreat. However, he uses his ropes to kidnap Milkit, and take her away with him.

Following Dein’s escape with Milkit, Ottilie stabs one of Dein’s men and tortures him for information on his whereabouts. She then cuts Flum down from the wall she was stuck on. She proceeds to say a few words to Flum which encourages Flum to gain the resolution to save Milkit from Dein.

As Ottilie and Flum make their way to Dein and Milkit’s location, they are attacked by one of the Spiral Children. Ottilie proceeds to confront their attacked while Flum heads off on her own.

In the aftermath, Ottilie along with Eterna and Sara watch as Flum and Milkit rest together.

## Relationships

### Royal Army

Ottlie has been a member of the Royal army for years and has met various members of the organization.

Henriette Bachsenheim

Ottilie's childhood friend and love interest.

At the end of Episode 04, when Henrietta realizes that the Royal army would be absorbed, she chooses to relieve Ottilie of her position to avoid the fates a number of her men would face.

Henrietta apparently reciprocates Ottilie’s feelings as she promises to give her a kiss if things turn out well.

### Flum's Household

Ottilie is on good terms with all the members of Flum's household. When she comes to visit them, they are willing to welcome her as a guest. Likewise, she is willing to help them with whatever situation they find themselves in.

Flum Apricot

They have known each other since she was the one who personally escorted her to the Royal Capital. She promised Flum's parents that she would keep an eye on her. It is implied she and Flum met each other on a number of occasions while Flum was a member of the Hero's Party.

Even after Flum is kicked out of the Hero's Party, Ottilie and Flum remain on good terms.

Milkit

Their relationship can be described as between neutral to favorable. Ottilie does not discriminate against Milkit for her former slave status. Likewise, Milkit is willing to treat Ottilie as a guest if the house when she comes over.

While Milkit recognizes Ottilie as an ally and friend to Flum, she is taken aback by Ottilie’s obsession with Henrietta. She even briefly commented on it upon witnessing the display herself.

Ottilie saved Milkit from being kidnapped during Episode 05, and she proceeded to escort Milkit and the others to a hidden location for safe keeping.

Eterna Rinebow

Similar to other heroes, Ottilie has a great deal of respect towards Eterna for her capabilities. She was shocked when she found out that Eterna quit the Hero’s Journey, and she surmises the journey will most likely end in failure now

The two fight alongside each other against the Spiral Children during the climax of Episode 03 of the Lifht Novel. Likewise, they do so in a manga original scenario.

Ink Wreathcraft

She played a role in saving Ink’s life when Eterna removed the origin core and transplanted Dein’s heart into her body.

### Hero Party

Prior to finding out that Flum was sold into slavery, Ottilie had great respect for the Hero Party. However, her view on them soured between finding out Flum was sold, Eterna quit, and Gadhio was most likely going to resign as well.

Jean Inteige

While Ottilie and Jean have never been seen interacting onscreen, it is made clear that Ottilie has met him before since she is familiar with his less than desirable personality traits. When Ottilie finds out Flum was marked as a slave and kicked out of the Hero's Party, Ottilie immediately and correctly assumes that Jean was responsible. She has no issues showing her disgust for him.

### Civilians

Leitch Mancathy
Ottilie rescued Leitch's wife. While she understood that he was manipulated into helping the enemy, she couldn't trust him.

### Enemies

Dein Phineas

Ottilie sees Dein for who he is.

When Dein attempts to have Flum killed by a mixture of his own men and Royal Army members he bribed, Ottilie wastes no time cutting them down. While he is surprised that Ottilie would protect a slave, Ottilie made it clear that he was low for rounding up so many men to kill one girl.

Ottilie had no reaction to Flum killing Dein by turning him inside out. She was fine with Flum and Eterna using his heart to save Ink's life.

## Trivia

* Kiki revealed that she has been wearing her hair in pigtails because Henriette praised her for how she looked.
* Kiki himself doesn't know why he made Ottilie's ages different between the web novel and light novel versions.
