![](../../I/m/TVTropes-_Yvienne_profile_copy_5406.png)

- Stepford Smiler
- With Great Power Comes Great Perks: She doesn't care much about fighting monsters, but being a witch has done wonders for her social status.

![](../../I/m/TVTropes-_January_profile_3514.png)

- Gray Eyes
- Guilt Complex
- Ho Yay: With Daughter. Relentlessly.

Krohiten
![](../../I/m/TVTropes-_Krohiten_profile_4121.png)
"The more magic changes things, the greater the side effects become. Can you make that decision?"
A professor at the academy. He suffers from 'laziness disease' which forces Daughter to be his aide. His late wife is Carola Everett, Marion Everett's daughter from 300 years ago. He also is the Arc Dragon of the Heavens.

![](../../I/m/TVTropes-_Octavia_profile_3529.png)
"HA! What jealousy? I'm also a teacher here! I have my virtues and pride!"
Another professor at the academy. She has unrequited feelings for Krohiten, despite already being engaged to another man. She is actually the First Princess of the kingdom, and will be queen after she marries.
- Arranged Marriage
- Clingy Jealous Girl

Tenial II
![](../../I/m/TVTropes-_Tenial_profile_8900.png)
"Ah ah... boring things are happening."
The presiding king, though it's mostly a figurehead position. He's cold, sinister, and has a peculiar interest in January.
- Evil Counterpart: He's basically what January could have become if he let his awful childhood twist him.
- Evil Redhead
- Freudian Excuse: Because he was chosen to be the future king back when he was a child, he spent his entire life after that point being surrounded by enemies and watching anyone who tried to help him die.
- Kick the Dog: There were plenty of hints that the guy was no good, but raping Octavia was how we know he's evil. YMMV on whether or not this counts as his Moral Event Horizon.
- Another example occurs in volume 14, where he almost makes January kill someone in exchange for pardoning Daughter. January nearly has a mental breakdown, and Tenial just laughs at him.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid
The Earth Dragon
![](../../I/m/TVTropes_profile_Earth_Dragon_2312.png)

- Really 700 Years Old
