Lotte Jansson

Lotte Jansson is one of the Grand Charion's pilots, but she's more like a support for the robot's innards.

## Appearance

Lotte is a Finnish girl who is below average height. She has short, bright orange hair that can appear blond in different lighting conditions, secured with a dark blue headband, and turquoise blue eyes. She has a pale complexion with freckles on her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. She wears lilac-rimmed half-rimmed glasses and large, heavy-prescription round lenses that make her eyes look bigger. Her standard Luna Nova Magical Academy uniform is personalized with a red sash and a red headband on her head. When Luna is not in her new form, she wears blue armbands.

## Personality

Lotte is shy, calm and timid, rarely angry. She is a kind-hearted girl who genuinely cares about Akko. Lotte often worries about Akko, given that her determination to become a witch like Shiny Chariot sometimes causes her to go too far, and that she forgets the welfare of friends and people who want to help her.

There are times when she gets really angry. In the Enchanted Parade, her patience in helping Akko is eventually tested when the latter accidentally breaks the notes to Lotta's ancestral song. Lotte became upset to the point that she became sullen and even colder than usual, as Sucy pointed out. She stops talking to Akko for a while due to her being upset with her. However, she still considered Akko her friend and supported her determination to become a witch like Shiny Chariot despite said witch's bad reputation, evidenced by her forgiving Akko by giving her a replica of Shiny Chariot's handmade hat. On the other hand, in the Samhain Magic anime series, she defends herself and her roommates (particularly Akko) when Diana and her team humiliate three friends for Akko's sudden disappearance before the start of the festival. In such a case, Lotte fiercely defends her friend's absence and berates the group for constantly harassing them over such minor situations, leaving those present in shock at the change in her once-quiet persona.

Despite her usually timid and innocent demeanor, Lotte can take an extremely determined and focused stance when the situation calls for it. In Teri Therio's manga, when Akko is devoured by a Giant Fish in the lake near Luna Nova, she immediately takes action to save her friend by summoning the fairies from the sunken pirate ship and having them fire their cannon at the monster, saving Akko and killing the monster at the same time. Even Susie couldn't help but be surprised by this sudden burst of courage in her quiet roommate.

## Story

Lotte was born into a family of witches in Finland, her family owns a store of magic items passed down from generation to generation. As a child, she was ridiculed by other children for coming from a family of witches, however, she found solace in reading Autumn Night novels. Her grandmother taught her a special song that can summon and appease spirits, which Lotte used to have the spirits form a rainbow for her.

She decides to enroll in Luna Nova Academy in order to obtain a license for magic tools and thus inherit her family shop.

Lotte became Akko's friend, often worrying about her antics. She helps Akko in the dungeon and in the fight against the ancient dragon, being injured in the process.
