Rani Asterline is a 19-year-old magician student from New Salem and Kaia Marinwade’s junior.
Thanks to her natural communication skills, she has many friends and personal connections and is enjoying her youth.
She is currently studying to specialize in her hobby of astronomy.
Guiding the Cherry Blossom Fairy
While working on her university assignments and trying to figure out how to transform, Rani was invited to a cherry blossom viewing by her junior, Ainsley Wintertide, and they agreed to go together.
The next day, she tried to hang out with her best friend Chloe Springsprout, but when she couldn’t get in touch with her, she grew worried and used her mana to locate her at the botanical garden.
She found Chloe, but she had transformed. After hearing the details of what had happened from Nadeshiko, who had possessed her body, and from Chloe herself, she guided them home through a less-traveled route.
After that, she tried to help her juniors solve the problems facing Chloe, Nadeshiko, and their friends, but all she could do was simply be there for them.
But having Rani by her side put Chloe at ease, and it seemed to have a greater effect than she had anticipated.
And when Chloe had to go to Japan, Rani decided to study alongside her, not wanting to leave her alone in that foreign world.
Rani shares both the good times and the bad with Chloe in Fia Wintertide’s class. She serves as a source of support for Chloe as she prepares to go to Japan.
Personality and traits
Contrary to her appearance, she has good communication skills, perhaps because she has many friends, and has the personality of a hard worker who takes the initiative in doing what needs to be done.
She is the type of person who can talk to senpais, teachers, and other superiors without hesitation or rudeness.
However, she has an inner complex about his appearance and especially dislikes being looked in the eyes. In reaction to this, when she transforms, she does an about-face and wants people to look at her.
She became able to transform when she visited the Museum of Human History in New Salem. She was intrigued by the weather exhibit and entered. Weather doesn’t exist in New Salem, so the exhibit demonstrated various types of weather, including wind, rain, and snow.
There were other children nearby misbehaving, playing around by throwing charms and curses at each other while the museum staff tried to get them to behave. She even tried to go and warn the children herself, but one child threw an exhibit item that caused lightning, and at the same time one of the curses hit it, and the lightning struck Rani. Since then, she has been able to transform when startled and on her own.
Her hobby is stargazing, and when she does she prefers to be alone or with a few people. She is particularly interested in observing constellations.
When she saw the weather at the museum, she also showed interest in the Earth’s sky, especially the daytime sky, and was driven by a desire to visit Earth. And when she actually saw it, she was so moved that she cried and thanked her parents and teachers.
She is willing to spend money if it is for a better view, and doesn’t waste money haphazardly. Her funds are basically collected through part-time jobs in the service industry, and she makes good use of her communication skills in the free time she has after completing her studies.
Magical abilities and skills
She is basically good at magic of all attributes, and she is especially good with wind and lightning.
She was originally skilled with wind magic, but developed her proficiency in lightning magic after the incident at the museum.
Compared to other magicians, she has superior range and scope. However, she has two weaknesses. First, her mana is lower than average, so she is not very powerful and quickly runs out of steam. And second, she is not good at sniping.
She also uses farsight magic to see the stars, and it supports her in spotting enemies in the distance, helping her overcome her second weakness.
- Wind Magic: With this as her forte, she can release sufficiently powerful magic within a radius of 10 meters. She can also collect dust from different places and generate air currents to make her broom fly faster. However, due to her low amount of mana, it is difficult to sustain for long periods of time, but this disadvantage can be resolved by transforming.
- Lightning Magic: Having mastered this magic, when she transforms she can release a powerful outburst upon entering battle. It has the same drawbacks as wind magic, and other magicians can use it just as well.
- Farsight Magic: This is magic that allows her to see farther, making it easier for her to view her favorite stars. It helps with her difficulty to snipe, but using it has an additional disadvantage of becoming vulnerable to bright light.
- Flying: With effort, she can fly higher and faster than other magicians, and her ability is further enhanced with wind magic.
