Chaika Trabant

**Chaika Trabant** is the titular main character from the *Coffin Princess Chaika* anime and light novels.

Current employer of the Acura siblings and daughter and heir apparent of the late Arthur Gaz. After running into Tooru during his foraging, she is impressed by his fighting skills after he helps her defeat a dangerous mountain creature, hiring him (and Akari) to help her in turn recover her father's remains, now being used as potent energy sources, and give them a proper burial. Naturally, such a task ruffles some political feathers among the coalition that saw to Arthur's defeat five years ago, and as such she is a wanted person seeking protection — something Tooru and Akari are only more than happy to offer. Despite her infamous legacy, Chaika is nevertheless sweet kid, who also happens to suffer from amnesia regarding the five years since Arthur's death.

In the AWA fics, Chaika is a student at the AWA Academy.

## **Appearance**

She has long white hair that reaches down to her waist and large purple eyes. She wears a slightly frilly white dress with a black skirt with puffed sleeves and a frilled white headband. She has camouflage sleepwear that she made herself which she used during her travels before she met the Acura siblings. She also has a scar on her neck that looks like her head was chopped off. Also on the back of her neck she has what looks like a magic symbol. Her most distinctive feature is her thick black eyebrows.

## **Personality**

Chaikq is a well-mannered and compassionate girl who strongly dislikes the use of violence, often opposing Tooru with no alternative solutions. However, she is rather gullible and naive, causing her to be oblivious to danger at times. This is worsened by her bad sense of direction. Her kindness and devotion to others is notable as she will assist others in need regardless of whether they are a friend or enemy.

Despite speaking in incomplete and disjointed sentences, Chaika is fluent in Laake, the language of the Gaz Empire.

Chaika appears to suffer from memory loss but remains devoted to her quest of collecting the remains of her father.

In the second season, she is shown to be more emotional and becomes even more determined to achieve her objective, at one time abandoning the Acura siblings.

Her manner of speech somewhat improves but the use of Laake remains scarce.

## **Abilities**

Chaika is trained in magic, channeling her spells through the gandr she usually keeps (dismantled) in the coffin she carries around with her. While her spells have proven *very* useful during combat itself, their effectiveness outside of combat has been... mixed. Aside from this, she seems to be a decent magical engineer, as shown by how she quickly refurbishes and repairs the run-down vehicle they find (and eventually use).

Being a wizard, she is able to cast spells. She is also able to drive their mechanical carriage the "Svetlana".
