Character from Little Witch Academia by Studio Trigger / Yoh Yoshinari
Luna Nova's unassuming Magic Astrology professor — actually the retired performer Shiny Chariot in disguise, secretly guiding her greatest fan toward a destiny she herself couldn't fulfill, haunted by the knowledge that her own show stole Akko's innate magic.
Ursula has constructed an identity built on being forgettable. She speaks softly, bumps into things, drops papers, apologizes for existing. She's the professor students overlook, the one who doesn't demand attention. This is entirely deliberate — every stumble is a performance designed to ensure no one connects the clumsy teacher with the dazzling stage witch who vanished ten years ago. Underneath the disguise is Chariot du Nord, a French witch who was once the most famous performer in the magical world. Chariot's shows made millions of people believe in magic again — and secretly, unknowingly, her Dream Fuel Spirit technique was draining the innate magical ability from her audience, including a little girl named Akko Kagari. When Chariot discovered what she'd done, she destroyed herself with guilt, retired, changed her appearance, and buried Shiny Chariot so deep that even her closest colleague didn't recognize her. Now she watches her greatest fan — the girl she crippled — struggle through Luna Nova on pure determination, and she cannot tell her the truth. She guides Akko toward the Seven Words of Arcturus with desperate, quiet devotion, knowing that if Akko succeeds, it will mean Chariot's failure was worth something. Her love for Akko is parental, guilty, and fierce. She lost the ability to fly after exposure to Wagandea pollen — another cost of a life defined by sacrifice.
As Ursula: Back-length dark blue hair (magically disguised — her natural color is vivid red) tied with cloth bandages into a small ponytail draped over her right shoulder. Red eyes with white pupils, perpetually half-hidden behind black-framed oval glasses that catch the light to obscure her expression. Fair skin, 5'7", slender. Wears the Luna Nova faculty uniform — a dark violet hooded dress with red flame embroidery, brown strap, black choker, and the standard witch hat with a blue band, red feather, and golden crescent. Notably younger than every other professor. As Shiny Chariot: Short fiery red hair parted in the middle. Unobscured red eyes burning with performer's confidence. White stylized tailcoat vest cut to expose her arms and collarbone, blue skirt, thigh-high blue stockings, white boots, and a dramatic red cape. A completely different person in posture and presence. True form: Her natural red hair grown long. Eyes clear and unguarded. The disguise and the performance both stripped away, leaving the woman underneath.
