Tricaputo

Tricaputo is rude, irreverent and unapologetically independent. She speaks informally even to important people and shows little interest in softening her opinions for the sake of etiquette.

She places her own judgment above institutional ceremony. When invited to events surrounding Ichi's debut, she dismisses the occasion rather than treating attendance as an obligation.

Her abrasive behavior does not indicate incompetence. When she decides a situation deserves intervention, Tricaputo rapidly analyzes the problem and acts with the confidence expected of one of Mantinel's highest-ranking witches.

Tricaputo is an elite titled witch with access to specialized magic useful against abnormal conditions affecting other people.

Her abilities include a method of extracting Fujimine's magical poison from victims. The process involves direct interaction with Tricaputo's Majik and places considerable physical strain on the person being treated, making the timing and speed of purification important.

Her expertise makes her particularly valuable against opponents whose danger comes from manipulation rather than straightforward destructive power.

Tricaputo first appears among the senior witches evaluating Ichi and is later named when she refuses to attend the gathering connected to his public debut.

Her importance rises dramatically during the Magikeepers' conflict with Fujimine. When Fujimine's poison compromises multiple powerful fighters, Tricaputo arrives and uses her magic to begin freeing victims from the effect. Her intervention changes a battle that had been turning decisively in Fujimine's favor.

Her familiarity with Fujimine also indicates that the two have a history predating the current crisis, although Tricaputo rejects Fujimine's attempt to treat their reunion warmly.

Fujimine has known Tricaputo since before their present confrontation. Fujimine greets her as an old acquaintance, but Tricaputo responds with open contempt and helps dismantle the effects of her magic.

Chun benefits from Tricaputo's arrival during the confrontation with Fujimine, when her specialized magic gives the Magikeepers a way to counter the witch's manipulation.

Desscaras is a fellow elite Mantinel witch. Tricaputo frees her from Fujimine's influence and immediately directs her back into the battle.

Monegold leads the Mantinel Witches Association to which Tricaputo belongs, despite Tricaputo's habit of ignoring institutional ceremony.
