**Fiona Morel** 「フィオナ・モレル *Fiona Moreru*」is a witch from the Witches' Forest and a member of the Clover Kingdom's Coral Peacock squad of the Magic Knights.

## Appearance

Fiona is a short young lady with a slim and small stature. She has dark green hair styled into a curly bob which frames her baby face and highlights her large blue doe eyes. Her regular attire consists of a purple robe and witches hat. Usually, she carries a wooden staff which spirals towards the top, curling around completely at the end. Her shoes and her bag, which is slung over her shoulder, match the color of her staff and contains her grimoire.

## Personality

     Fiona can initially be seen as an arrogant and pompous young witch. Much like those who hail from the Clover Kingdom, she has a very twisted view on things and measures peoples worth by their magical capabilities. Fiona also has a high sense of self-worth, hailing from the witches forest she has noted on many occasions that though Clover may be a grand and immaculate place, it "pales in comparison to her homeland." She says and thinks this so much that it is something of a running gag.

Fiona is also a bit of a hypocrite, claiming she doesn't understand why people are so disrespectful to witches whilst she treats others very poorly herself. That isn't to say she doesn't have manners. To most strangers or to those she respects, Fiona is rather humble. Usually saying please or thank you. Generally, however, she is a very judgmental girl. Granted she knows when to keep comments to herself, she judges everyone at first glance and if she believes that she is smarter or stronger than someone, she isn't afraid to say or show it.

The witch is also incredibly intelligent. Considering herself to be a great strategist, she enjoys tricking others with her cunning and wit. That being said, she enjoys getting into peoples heads and messing with them both in and out of battle a fact which she brags can take down any opponent.

## Biography

     Fiona was born within the Witches' Forest to a large and powerful coven. Though she had parents, their philosophy was that it took a village to raise a child and so the village did. With the entire population being within the same coven, it was customary to consider one another sisters regardless of blood. That being said, Fiona was raised alongside many other children around her age but due to her abnormally high magical potential she received special treatment. She attended class longer than most students, received more attention, this was something many of her sisters were jealous of but Fiona held her head high.

At the age of twelve, her Coven elders received a prophecy. Through their divination powers, they had glimpsed into the young witches future and saw something that would change the course of Fiona's life forever. Theodora, one of Fiona's many magical mentors had received a mysterious vision. What exactly she saw is unknown but from that day on Fiona was told that at the age of fifteen she would travel to the Clover Kingdom and become a Magic Knight. The details were never truly revealed but Fiona spent the next three years doing as she was told, researching the land and honing her skills.

Eventually she made the journey in hopes of fulfilling her elders prophecy. On this journey she ends up in Nairn, her first true experience within the Clover Kingdom. During a run on with a pretentious man who attempted to hit her, she met a swordsman under the name of Alessandro Fabbri, who rushed to her aid. After a snide commend about him being a commoner, she claimed she didn't need his help and tried to get her separate way. Alessandro was persistent and invited her to a nearby bakery for a treat where they discuss their goals and ambitions, discovering that both want to become Magic Knights. Both determined to meet their goal, Alessandro suggests having a battle to test their skills.

Accepting with confidence, they headed to a clearing in the woods and began. Though the fight was long and gruesome, Fiona suffered a devastating loss despite her initial cockiness. Granted, Alessandro admitted if it had gone on any longer, it would have been her who emerged victorious. The realization that a commoner can be stronger than a witch caused a surge of emotions within Fiona, making her cry. Though defeated, she never verbally admits that he is better and instead claims that she will win if they ever fight again with both parties going their separate ways.

Weeks later, Fiona can be seen flying through the sky before she is accidentally shot down by a member of the Howling Wolf Bandits wind magic. When she lands she sees a young girl, Rosa Morisot, who appears to be in a lot of trouble. Regretfully, she decides to help. Though Rosa clearly struggles with magical control, thanks to Fiona they were able to hold off the bandits temporarily. Unfortunately, their leader proves to be too powerful and uses a his steel magic to restrain Fiona. Then he aimed to finish off Rosa who in the heat of the moment, unlocked a new spell which saved both of their lives.

Not long after, a strong magical presence appeared in the area. The leader of the bandits broke free, preparing a powerful spell which summoned multiple metallic dogs. Fiona has the idea to trick the bandits that the magic presence is her, striking so much fear in his heart that he doesn't attack. Eventually it is revealed that the magic surge wasn't due to Fiona but the captain of the Coral Peacock squad, Jacques Cavallier.

Jacques handles the bandits before exclaiming his surprise that the girls were still alive, commending their strength for dealing with bandits that even Magic Knights struggled against. This feat impresses him so much, he invites them both to join his squad. At first, Fiona hesitates but after Jacques plays a mind game, claiming she couldn't handle the pressure, she agrees to prove him wrong and officially joins the squad.
