**Lowellmina Silva** 「ロウェルミナ・シルヴァ *Rouerumina Shiruva*」 is a noblewoman of the Clover Kingdom's House Silva, one of its royal families, and is a First-Class Intermediate Magic Knight of the Coral Peacocks Magic Knights squad. She is currently being considered for promotion to Senior Magic Knight.

## Background

Lowellmina was born to Matthias and Elisabeth Silva, the former being the younger brother of the current head of the Silva family. As she wasn't directly in line to inherit the house, Lowellmina was sidelined growing up. She didn't receive the attention her respected older cousin received, however, she also wasn't completely ignored. Lowellmina showed surprisingly quick development and was already head-and-shoulders above other mages her age; of course, without a grimoire, she is unable to perform complicated spells but the magic she displayed even without it was already extremely helpful in her everyday life.

Lowellmina grew up in the shadow of her older cousin who she watched personally garner merits and fame to become the Silver Eagles captain. That was when Lowellmina vowed to herself that she will also become a captain of a Magic Knights squad to which Lucielle simply smiled and patted her small cousin's head. Lucielle promised to patiently wait for when Lowellmina catches up to her. With that childhood promise held close to her chest, Lowellmina renewed her motivation for training. Her training even sometimes took her out of the Silva residence and into the other areas of the capital. Each and every day, she would venture further out and by the time she turned twelve, she was already able to visit the farthest reaches of the Clover Kingdom on her broom. It would be here that she would build a reputation among the commoners, describing her to be the "really nice girl with purple hair" (without meaning too, she hid her heritage as she never told them anything more than her nickname of *Lowa*).

Upon coming of age, Lowellmina attended the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony as normal and received a purple grimoire, its three leaves staring proudly back at her. Upon returning home, Lowellmina began to train with her new partner, trying to find a niche in which her magic is most effective in. While this was happening, the Magic Knights Entrance Exam came and Lowellmina participated; she passed with flying colors and chose to join the Coral Peacocks after having the aforementioned, the Silver Eagles, and Aqua Deers all raise their hands for her. While she felt sorry for her older cousin, she felt that she should try making a name of herself in a squad outside of her older cousin's as she thought that even if she shone there, she would always be overshadowed by Lucielle.

## Personality

Lowellmina Silva is generally a silent person. She rarely starts a conversation out of her own will except in cases where she finds the person she's talking to be of a high level of interest to her. Her unwillingness to openly talk too much has led the general population of the nobility to think of her as a haughty princess as they assume that she is not talking because she doesn't want to waste time on those beneath her. This view, however, couldn't be more biased as Lowellmina is an exceptionally kind lady of high society. She always makes time when she is not on duty as a Magic Knight protecting the Clover Kingdom to visit even the farthest reaches of the kingdom to listen to the stories of the adults and children in the lower strata of society. This unironically stigmatizes her position even further among other nobles as she is considered to be weird (and mentally ill according to the most degrading comments) because she is so willing to spend her time talking to the "vermin" of society instead of mingling with fellow nobility.

Aside from her kind personality, Lowellmina is also a workaholic. She makes sure to train endlessly because she one day wishes to surpass her older cousin in both power and prestige. Her goal is to rise to become the captain of the Coral Peacocks so that she wouldn't bring shame to the Silva name and she would not discredit her older cousin's stature. She is also an avid follower of the sword arts and always tries to learn from numerous swordmasters on how to best use the blade. Her signature spells are always centered around close-quarters combat using the sword which further aggravates her position in high society because a royal mage like her should fight in a way that exemplifies the strength of a royal bloodline and not fight tooth and nail like how Lowellmina does with her sword.

## Appearance

As a young adult, Lowellmina Silva is considered to be a royal beauty of unparalleled proportions. She is often compared to her older cousin, Lucielle, with her older cousin being the more mature one due to being nine years older. Generally, opinions within the lower nobility, however, all reflect that they lean more towards Lowellmina whose uniqueness within the Silva family sets her apart: her hair is not silver. A shade of deep purple, her long thigh-length hair is done up into waist-length twintails and two hair buns on the left and right sides of her crown, giving the impression of cat ears. She also has crimson eyes, something that has never before appeared in the Silva lineage.

She usually a pale lavender top with a high violet collar and ruffled dark blue skirt, layered under a deep violet overcoat. The opening of her overcoat is marked by a golden ornament, which has white flowers and purple and gold-accented feathers attached. The pattern of the feathers resembles the ones on the dangling backs of her long sleeves. In addition, she wears a golden hairpin, a tasseled choker, and dark gloves with lavender trim. Of course, she dons the pink mantle of the Coral Peacocks, proudly displaying it around her person.

## Abilities

### Magic

Lowellmina was born with the elemental attribute of Ice Magic, allowing her to create and manipulate ice at will. Even prior to receiving her grimoire, she was already highly capable of making use of her magic. Perhaps due to the influence of her older cousin, Lowellmina's preferred style of fighting is to create blades out of pure ice and fight with them in hand (although she also does carry an actual sword with her which she simply strengthens with her mana to fight with it). As such, her signature spell is understandably, Ghost of Radiata, a spell that creates a durable blade of ice (Lowellmina can also choose to create more than one blade to dual-wield; she is actually more comfortable with two blades in hand as she is ambidextrous and gets rather anxious if both of her hands aren't working).

Like every other mage, Lowellmina is proficient in Reinforcement Magic, a nonstadard magical attribute that allows her to use the energy of mana to strengthen her body. The main spell she uses is Leg Strength Boost and she has also undergone enough training to be able to consciously use the basic-level Reinforcement Magic Mana Skin, allowing her to protect at all times when she has the technique active.

As previously stated, Lowellmina's signature spell is Ghost of Radiata which is an ice-based Creation Magic spell. She is also capable of Phantom of Sanguinea, a creation spell that makes use of her training in Mana Skin to create an armor out of ice, however, perhaps due to her upbringing the spell takes the form of a magnificent ice evening gown and a decorated tiara atop her crown; Lowellmina's arms are also encased in a protective layer of ice although this stops just below her elbow, mimicking evening gloves, and what appears to be a crystalline wedding ring forms on her left hand.

Lowellmina is also one of the few mages that can perform both offensive and healing spells. Her aptitude over Healing Magic is quite high with her signature spell being Rain of Eurus.

Taught by her older cousin Lucielle Silva herself, Lowellmina has learned the advanced mana control technique, Mana Zone. With this ability, she can perform the spells, Sorrow of Freyjr and Rain of Eurus — Torrent.

### Equipment

Lowellmina has an assortment of knightly swords which she uses in combat, however, as they are of general make, they can very easily break even when magic is run through it to strengthen the materials used. This is why Lowellmina has a habit of carrying at least three of these strapped to her waist to act as failsafes to each other should one of them break.

## Trivia
