## History

A human Witch, one of the most powerful once that ever lived. She became known as the Witch of the Ocean.

She mastered many spells, including magic which controlled life itself. At some point, she had a child, which in turn made her a grandchild in Tachibana Ichirou. She also took in Morino Yuuko, as a student, which she treated like a daughter and taught everything about magic. However, she grew worried about Ichirou, as she sensed potential in him and started to worry that he could fall victim to dark mages. She would often tell Ichirou's stories of helpful witches, that used to live in each town, stories that often made him quite happy, even if he at first thought it was fiction.

As she was already very old, she tasked Morino Yuuko, to keep an eye over him, as her own child never had shown magic and was now living near Tokyo, with Ichirou being alone for the most part.

On top of that, she put her life force and memories into the "Leontopodium alpinum" a crystallized flower charm, which she later gifted to Ichirou before her death. Morino Yuuko, became the **second Witch of the Ocean**, and would in turn train Kaya Blanche and even later Futaba Lily Ramses, which all wanted to learn from the famous witch.

When Tachibana Ichirou was attacked by Eisen Faust, it was the Leontopodium alpinum, which allowed him to obtain his grandmothers memories and magical powers over life. Even if his power disappeared afterward, he was always thankful for her.
