INTROVERT PERSON

An introvert prefers to spend time alone in order to recharge their inner being. An introvert may appear to be shy to others, but that is not necessarily an accurate label. Being among groups of friends, family and even strangers can be wonderfully stimulating and joyous occasions. Interacting with people and attention to multiple sources of stimuli tends to draw down an introvert's energy causing them to eventually withdraw to spend time alone to re-energize. Small talk and pointless conversations tend to draw down an introvert's energy rapidly.

Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time alone. Often found in their homes, libraries, quiet parks that not many people know about, or other secluded places, introverts like to think and be alone. 

Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some may have great social lives and love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterward. The word "Introvert" has negative connotations that need to be destroyed. Introverts are simply misunderstood because the majority of the population consists of extroverts.

Extrovert: Oh my god, you're so shy! You need to get out more! 

Introvert: But it's so draining - I don't have a problem with going out; I just want to stay at home and read sometimes, y'know? 

Jesse is an introvert. He doesn't mind staying home on a Friday night.

Typically, the person that no one understands. Introverts are often commercialized into the people who "sit at home watching Netflix all day." On the contrary, the real introvert is the person who thinks deeply, keeps to themselves, and feels depleted by social situations. The opposite of an introvert is an extrovert.

1. In a society where socialization is strongly encouraged, introverts struggle to be accepted. 

2. Because she was an introvert and preferred to stay at home, others looked down upon her habits. 

3. It was hard for the introvert to explain to people that she hated parties.

Synopsis

Chise Hatori, a 15-year-old Japanese girl, was sold for five million pounds at an auction to a tall masked gentleman. Abandoned at a young age and ridiculed by her peers for her unconventional behavior, she was ready to give herself to any buyer if it meant having a place to go home to. In chains and on her way to an unknown fate, she hears whispers from robed men along her path, gossiping and complaining that such a buyer got his hands on a rare "Sleigh Beggy."

Ignoring the murmurs, the mysterious man leads the girl to a study, where he reveals himself to be Elias Ainsworth—a magus. After a brief confrontation and a bit of teleportation magic, the two open their eyes to Elias' picturesque cottage in rural England. Greeted by fairies and surrounded by weird and wonderful beings upon her arrival, these events mark the beginning of Chise's story as the apprentice and supposed bride of the ancient magus.

Characters[edit]

Chise Hatori (羽鳥智世 Hatori Chise)

Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki^[4][5][6] (Japanese); Dani Chambers^[7] (English)

The protagonist and titular character of the story. She is the apprentice and future bride of Elias Ainsworth. Her father and brother abandoned the family when she was young, and her mother committed suicide in front of her. Feeling unwanted by her relatives, she sold herself into slavery so that she did not have to worry about anything, with Elias purchasing her. She is a Sleigh Beggy, a special magus who can draw magic from her surroundings and within herself, at the cost of dying young because of the strain on her body, hence why Elias took her in, hoping to prevent her death. She has about three years left to live naturally at most.

Elias Ainsworth (エリアス・エインズワース Eriasu Einzuwāsu)

Voiced by: Ryota Takeuchi^[4][5] (Japanese); Brian Mathis^[7] (English)

The Child of Thorns, Chise's master and fiancé, once apprenticed to Master Lindenbaum. A being with both fae and human elements, his origins are a mystery. Known as the Thorn Mage, the other faeries see him as an abomination, something he does not mind. Besides using glamour to hide his appearance, he can control and also turn himself into shadows, and when angry enough, he takes on a more monstrous form. He can even change his head to a human’s using magic. Despite claiming to lack human emotions, after some time caring for Chise he has slowly developed a true fondness for her. However, his innate lack of understanding certain human emotions makes Lindenbaum call him a child. One example of this being when Titania and her husband asked about him and Chise having children he felt an "unknown feeling" in his gut he couldn't identify. He dislikes children. He says they do not have magic powers, but they are talented in being able to see the true nature of things, so sometimes he is found out. He is called “Pilum Muralis” by the wizards.

He was formally called Ulysse (ユリシィ Yurishī) and used to be owned by Isabel in chapter ten. He thinks of himself as a human, thus able to maintain human form, until he remembers who he is in chapter twelve. He shares a mental link with Chise and considers her a sister.

Voiced by: Aya Endō^[4][5] (Japanese); Rachel Glass^[7] (English)

Unfortunately, her presence was already killing him unintentionally at a slow rate. After learning this, Chise created a remedy that allowed them to see each other one last time (chapter twenty two). After Joel's passing, she tells Chise she will be living in Joel’s garden and will not look for more lovers anymore. She later received the name, Redcurrant (レッドカラント Reddokaranto), as Joel and Chise noted her eyes were the same color as the flower in Joel's Garden.

Alice (アリス Arisu)

Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura^[8] (Japanese); Jennifer Green^[7] (English)

Introduced in chapter six, she is Renfred's apprentice. A former street urchin, drug abuser and drug seller, Renfred discovered her innate magic potential and took her in as an apprentice, hence her devotion towards him.

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase^[9] (Japanese); Josh Grelle^[7] (English)

Introduced in chapter six, he actually dislikes the name "Cartaphilius" and prefers to be called Joseph (ヨセフ Yosefu), and is known also as the Wandering Jew, or the “Magician of the Flow”. He is a mysterious being that looks like a young boy, but is much older, so old that he even refers to Ainsworth as "little boy". A long time ago, people said that “God’s Son” cast an immortal curse on him for mocking him during the crucifixion, (much like Gestas); it's said his immortality will last until Judgement Day. Holding no clear intention, he’s just a monster that simply does what he feels like and travels around the world experimenting with the living and dead for no clear reason. He has the appearance of a human but the body of a non-human – as seen in chapter eleven when he was struck with a magic bullet. He claims his non-human body experiences constant pain and his one true desire is to be able to live without suffering.

PLOT

WHEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT SORA KASHIWAGI FINDS HIMSELF STARING DOWN A MYSTERIOUS OVERSIZED PACKAGE SENT TO HIM BY HIS SELF-PROCLAIMED  "ADVENTURER" FATHER THE LAST THING HE EXPECTS IS FOR IT TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE... BY A LITTLE MUMMY SO SMALL IT CAN FIT IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND!. 

CHARACTERS 

1) Sora Kashiwagi Voiced by Mutsumi Tamura

The Main character. At the beginning of the series, Sora was sent Mii-Kun, a tiny Egyptian mummy, by his father. While initially apprehensive due to previous bad experiences with his father's "gifts", Sora quickly warmed up to Mii-Kun and watches over him, in doting parental fashion. He is an excellent cook, great at household chores and sewing, and great at taking care of people. He keeps a journal where he writes down his observations about Mii-kun. His family also keeps a dog named Pochi which is revealed in episode 10 to be a special dog that is fifty years old and can live to be hundreds of years old. Later, in the same episode, Sora's father sends him a talking Anubis sculpture named Aayan.

2) Tazuki Kamiya Voiced by Keisuke Kōmoto

Sora's close friend. Initially, he holds a great desire to "mess around" with Mii-Kun. However, he quickly comes to realize that Mii is so cute, that he cannot bring himself to tease the tiny mummy. He still shows an occasional sadistic side to him and still shows an interest in knowing what is underneath Mii's bandage. He excels at studying and often helps Sora out. On his way from work, he finds an oni child which he initially throws away due to his fear of caring for him which resulted from a past trauma of being unable to save a dragon from a collector. Tazuki names the oni child Conny but doesn't truly adopt him into the family until episode 9. Above all, Tazuki is very protective of those he cares about, becoming incredibly frightening when his friends are threatened.

3) Asa Motegi Voiced by Himika Akaneya.

Sora and Kazuki's classmate. A cheerful girl with a distinct fear of lizards. Asa's strength is one of her main character attributes, which is further increased when she is scared, evidenced by the destruction she causes when she finds that a dragon has found his way into her house. Sora helps her get over her fear of lizards and Asa eventually adopts the dragon, naming him Isao.

4) Daichi Tachiaki Voiced by Seiichirō Yamashita

Daichi is a student at Sora's school in class 5-3. Previously, he was seen as a delinquent, prone to violent outbursts; however, this was a result of chronic night terrors and lack of sleep. Sora helps Daichi out at school, which results in friendship and Sora giving Taichi a Baku doodle to draw in the dream-eating creature. When fully rested, Daichi is very kind if a bit timid and jumpy, but he also takes responsibility instantly for the violence he had done in his sleep-deprived state. The Baku that helps him stays, being adopted by Daichi, and is named Mukumuku.

5) Kaede Kashiwagi Voiced by Ai Kayano

Sora's aunt and sister of Mokuren. She's usually working and tends to undergo a drastic personality change when wearing her glasses (specifically of the red-rimmed variety) with her soft-spoken, clumsy self-replaced by an aggressive and assertive persona. The sarcophagus that Mii-Kun arrived it was a present from her brother and used as her napping place. Some of her known careers include model, director, writer, and actress, all of which she is incredibly famous for (though few know her true looks due to her glasses at work).
