Background / History
Liberia began life as Witch No. 246, a captive in the Church’s artificial-witch program. The Church used the holy relic known as Witch’s Blood to create experimental witches; Liberia was the only successful subject. The other children gradually died, including her close friend, No. 245. 213 734
Guweiste enabled her escape by destroying a bridge behind the fleeing group, while Mel carried the exhausted girl away from her pursuers. Mel refused to treat her as property or control her future, instead offering her a choice of names. She chose Liberia, a name Mel described as meaning “a free soul,” and took his surname, becoming Liberia Carlo. 211
After escaping Exar, Liberia struggled with poor health, limited literacy, and an unfamiliar world beyond the Church’s confinement. Mel taught her basic reading, survival knowledge, stories, and magic, while her curiosity grew through ordinary experiences such as seeing open skies, eating sweets, and traveling with him. 214 250
Kiriri immediately recognized Liberia’s exceptional magical potential upon meeting her in Oak City. She accepted Liberia as her disciple, leaving Mel responsible for her foundational education and reading lessons. 221 222
Appearance
Liberia is a white-haired girl and later a young maiden with striking ruby-red eyes. Her appearance is distinctive enough to risk recognition as a Church experiment subject, especially in Exar. 211 464
- Long white hair, sometimes described as “little white fluff.” 298 321
- Crimson or ruby-like eyes. 211 512
- Her red eyes and white hair resemble descriptions of witches in Church records. 464
- Later wears more elaborate clothing, including a vivid red dress that emphasizes her eye color. 512
- Learns to adorn herself while retaining a simple, youthful appearance. 395
Personality
Liberia initially behaves timidly and cautiously around unfamiliar people, but she is intensely curious about the world she was denied in captivity. She is especially fascinated by landscapes, stories, food, sweets, toys, and new experiences. 214 217 280
Her attachment to Mel is central to her character. She is affectionate, protective, and quick to defend him when others insult or threaten him. She can also be jealous and possessive when she believes Mel is paying attention to other girls. 221 312 394
Despite her childlike love of candy and pastries, Liberia develops into a determined mage who does not want to become a burden to Mel. She chooses focused cultivation over further adventuring and later offers her strength to protect Claire and support their allies. 645 801
Abilities & Skills
Exceptional Magical Talent
Liberia possesses Level 9 magic talent, placing her among the Royal Academy’s rarest geniuses. Kiriri notes that Liberia’s mana at a very low level rivals what Mel accumulated through many levels of growth. 221 312

Light Element Affinity
Liberia has an affinity for Light magic, which becomes especially important against dark-attributed threats. 397 476
- Her contracted Elf King can channel her mana into powerful pure Light-attribute magic. 476
- The resulting attack temporarily disperses a battlefield-wide mist created by a Dark Spirit. 476
- Supplying enough power for this attack requires Liberia to surrender all of her magic power. 476
Witch’s Blood
Liberia’s Witch’s Blood is the source of her extraordinary mana quality and her greatest danger. The bloodline was forcibly implanted through Church experimentation and later fully awakens. 213 731
- Her total mana and mana purity increase dramatically after awakening. 734
- Her power can become destructive and uncontrollable when she suffers severe emotional distress. 729 732
- The Primal Witch can sense Liberia through their shared magical bloodline and regards her as genetically akin to herself. 731 732

- Even with the risk of losing control, Liberia remains mentally lucid after her initial major awakening. 732
Spirit Contract: Nine-tailed Elf King Flodar
Liberia contracts the Nine-tailed Elf King Flodar, a powerful fox-like King-level Elemental Spirit. 389 393
- Flodar recognizes Liberia’s potential even before her magical bloodline fully awakens. 390
- He can wield Liberia’s mana for high-output Light-attribute attacks. 476
- Flodar is proud and frequently corrects Liberia when she casually calls him “Big Fox.” 476
- He is dismissive of Mel’s magical talent but acknowledges Liberia as a genius. 393
