**Amalthea Lubricantia** (グウェン スタンフォード *Guwen Sutanfoodo*) is a noble of house Stanford, the cousin of Peter Stanford and a 5th Class Intermediate Magic Knight of Violet Orca squad. She uses Stone Magic.

## Appearance

Gwen has the appearance of a fair skinned and well-endowed young woman with short white hair and purple eyes. She wears a Qipao of white and purple, a pair of shoulder-length ornamental gloves of purple color and brown shoes.

## Personality

Gwen is a very kind and friendly person, with her living life to the fullest. She is full of energy and always urges her squad members to play or fight with her, with her not taking no easily for an answer. Despite what her appearance would suggest, she has an immense love for fighting, with her loving to fight strong enemies and has an ecstatic look, but will get angry and fight seriously if those she cares about are hurt or ridiculed and while she doesn't fight to kill, that completely changes when kids are hurt or mistreated in her presence. She dislikes being in official social gatherings, both because she finds many of her fellow nobles boring and because she can't stand the etiquette she must display all the time, something she can pull out greatly despite finding it stiff.

Also, despite what her appearance suggests, Gwen is a big eater, possibly the greatest in her squad while she also drinks a lot, with many being unable to believe she is a noble while when the squad parties, she becomes the soul of the party, with her energetic nature rivalling that of Thora Tempestas. Finally, she loves children immensely, with her wanting a lot to pamper her Captain whom she finds incredibly cute, with all of her attempts being in vain much to her disappointment.
