Jennifer Memorial Tree

* Wilted
* Restored

The **Jennifer Memorial Tree**is the central tree of the botanical garden of Luna Nova Magical Academy, and also a memorial to Jennifer, a renowned, powerful witch. According to the legend, Jennifer transmitted her spirit to this tree to see how Luna Nova will grow, which can explain why the tree has her face.

## Description

The Jennifer Memorial Tree appears to be a tangle of roots, with a feminine old face at the top, which is the face of Jennifer, the witch who transmitted her spirit into the tree.

## History

### TV Series

#### Pappiliodya

For some reasons, Jennifer Memorial Tree wilted and neither Ursula, nor Finnelan nor Holbrooke know its cause. Noticing the situation, Diana, Hannah, and Barbara decide to do what they can while Ursula consults with books in Luna Nova Library and both the strict professor and the headmistress tending to other business at hand. Using one of spells passed down throughout generations of her family, Diana attempts to revitalize the Tree and seemingly succeeds, prompting Hannah and Barbara to tell the professors. Unknown to the two however, the spell causes the Memorial Tree's roots to violently emerge from the ground instead, revealing the cause of its decline in from of Pappiliodya chrysalises. The incident also caught the attention of Akko, Lotte, and Sucy who happen to play with Chariot cards nearby, prompting them to enter the scene. Horrified by such sight and unaware with their true nature, Diana attempts to blast the parasites one by one despite Akko's protests. It takes her blasting Akko by mistake that the heiress eventually stops and listens to the brunette. Just then, Shiny Rod, which she initially assumed to be a flawless replica of the real thing, suddenly glows by Akko's apparent desire to help hasten the chrysalises' growth without harming Jennifer Memorial Tree in the process. Thus, under Diana's guidance to properly recite the spell written in Pappiliodya Card, Akko magically hatch every Pappiliodya chrysalises, saving Jennifer Memorial Tree and allowing the swarm of new Pappiliodya to fly out of the Memorial Garden for new nesting grounds. Due to Akko, Lotte, and Sucy already left to accompanying the newly matured Pappiliodya swarm, Diana ended up receiving the credit from returned Hannah, Barbara, Finnelan, and Holbrooke both for aforementioned miracle and Jennifer Memorial Tree's restoration, much to the heiress' dismay.

### Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time

The base of Jennifer Memorial Tree was used to hid Regulus Key, a magic key which, if used on Sealed Door of Horologium Chamber, grants the access to Regulus Mines in which Magichron and Classic Witch's Belt (the third piece of Molly's Classic Witch Set used to store one of fragments of its owner's Ghost Witch half) were originally hidden away. During one of time loops Akko and co. trapped in ever since they disturbed Horologium Chamber, Regulus Key triggers an anomaly where spectral hands emerge from Jennifer Memorial Tree's surroundings until Akko removed it from its hiding place. Few time loops later, while revisiting places in which she uncovered hidden Magic Keys, Akko cross-paths with Molly who suggests that a dead body was buried somewhere beneath the Memorial Tree hence the reason of aforementioned anomaly.

## Trivia

* As Trigger Night Vol.6 established that powerful witches will either transform into or rather, manifest a tree on her grave upon their death, it's implied that Jennifer herself was buried somewhere at the Botanical Garden of Luna Nova, a theory which Molly joked in the events of *Chamber of Time*.
* The fact that the tree was dedicated for the namesake witch and possibly manifestation of her magic (her corpse was possibly buried somewhere beneath the garden) heavily implies she is one of the Nine Olde Witches or at very least, being accomplished as much as the legendary coven and attained equally immense magic to the boot.
