**Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière** (ルイズ・フランソワー・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール, *Ruizu Furansowā ru Buran do ra Variēru*) is one of the two title characters and the female protagonist of the series, *The Familiar of Zero*. She is a sophomore Void aristocrat and the wife of her familiar spirit, Saito Hiraga. She was famously but negatively known as "Louise the Zero" throughout Tristain Academy of Magic because of her consistency in casting failures while performing magic. After marrying Saito, she is later known as **Louise Françoise le Blanc de Hiraga de Ornielle** (ルイーズ·フランソワーズ·ル·ブラン·ド·平賀·デ·オルーニユェル, *Ruizu Furansowāzu ru Buran do Hiraga do Oruniērū*).

## Appearance

A sophomore at the academy, Louise looks like a young lass because of her height. She has long curly pink hair and corresponding color for her big eyes. Her uniform includes a long-sleeved blouse underneath a long indigo coat reaching her feet, a black skirt, and a pair of long black stocking-like socks and puts on a pair of black shoes. She is also shown to carry her wand with her all the time.

### Plebeian Attire

During their mission ordered by Henrietta, Louise and Saito heads out in a village, wherein Louise dressed as a plebeian. Her outfit consists of a brown cap, a silver, circular-shaped necklace and a brown-colored duster and a pair of sandals.

### Charming Fairy Inn Attire

When Louise worked at the Charming Fairy Inn, her outfit consisted of a white, ruffled headband, a tight, white necklace-like with a black ribbon on it, a sleeveless, short, white, maid dress-like attire.
After winning the Tip Race, Louise wore an outfit which consisted of a black ponytail, a black, tight necklace, a tight, black dress with a pair of matching-colored, tight arm warmers. Down to her legs, she wore black, long stockings and black sandals.

## Personality

### Saito

Upon summoning Saito, Louise hates it so much, that it came from herself that she wanted a familiar spirit like a griffin or something. Some examples on how Louise expresses her "hate" towards Saito is by beating him up with her magic and by striking him with a whip. However, as the series succeeds, her love for Saito gets deeper and more intense.

### Henrietta

As the two were childhood friends, Henrietta and Louise get along well. When Henrietta orders Louise commands, Louise accepts it enthusiastically, without doubts. Louise is also called by her first two names by Henrietta.

### Kirche

Coming from herself, Kirche "cannot lose to a Vallière" like Louise. With this, Louise hated Kirche, and Kirche hated Louise, too. When Louise bought Saito a sword for "protecting" himself from Kirche in the third episode of the first season, Kirche cannot accept it, and also bought Saito a sword. When Louise sees Saito with other women especially Kirche, Louise quickly gets jealous and envious.
