Quick Facts

Species: Human (Sleigh Beggy)
Affiliation: Elias Ainsworth's Household

Lore & Background

Chise Hatori's father took her brother and abandoned the family when she was young, and her mother committed suicide in front of her, causing her to feel unwanted by her relatives and bullied by her schoolmates. She sold herself to slavery in order for someone to take her in. At the auction in London, she is sold for five million pounds to Elias Ainsworth. He tells her she is a Sleigh Beggy, a special magus who can draw magic from her surroundings and from within herself.

However, this severely strains their bodies, making Sleigh Beggys very weak and fated to die prematurely. Hence, Elias bought her with hopes of preventing her early death in about three years. Her small and fragile state has led others to give her the nicknames of Robin and Little Bird Mage. She frequently receives gifts that suppress her magic to maintain her health.

After being taken in by Elias she starts practicing magic, and finds she has a talent for sleep magic, but can also perform any type of magic at the cost of tremendous strain. She is also capable of seeing magical creatures which are normally invisible to people.
