Background / History

Rhine was a sickly child in his previous life who spent much of his life in the hospital and died before reaching adulthood. He awakened in a different world with an unchanging youthful body, magical talent, and memories of Earth. His lack of physical aging led him to suspect that he had become immortal or exceptionally long-lived. 1 127

His power developed through the wishes he fulfilled. Helping ordinary people granted only small amounts of the Will of Wishes, while aiding a “Child of Destiny” produced far greater rewards. Before entering the Rose Kingdom's court, Rhine spent three years treating commoners for little or no payment, building a reputation as a miraculous healer. 1

The King and Queen of the Rose Kingdom summoned him because they had remained childless for years. Rhine treated them, prescribed the blessing of a speaking aquatic animal as the missing condition for conception, and accurately foretold that they would have a daughter with a legendary destiny. 2 3

Appearance

Rhine appears to be a delicate, handsome boy of roughly twelve or thirteen, despite having spent many years in the fairy-tale world without visibly aging. 1 35

• Silver hair, usually concealed beneath a hood. 1
• Pale blue eyes described as clear and cold. 1
• Extremely pale, nearly translucent skin. 1
• Commonly wears long hooded Magician's robes or a silver-white cloak. 3 140
• Small, slender build; his robes were once too long for his frame. 3

Personality

Rhine is fundamentally compassionate and habitually helps those in need, from impoverished patients to endangered kingdoms. He tends to treat his intervention as practical problem-solving rather than heroism, but repeatedly chooses outcomes that preserve lives and improve people’s circumstances. 1 110 167

He is calm under pressure, analytical, and willing to exploit an opponent’s weaknesses, misunderstandings, or emotional attachments. His methods can be manipulative—such as impersonating the Middle Eastern Witch’s lover through magical perfume—but he uses them to avert disasters or obtain vital information. 123 163 164

For much of his journey, Rhine is emotionally detached, feeling more like a visitor passing through stories than someone who belongs in their world. Aurora forces him to confront this detachment, leading him to acknowledge his deepest wish: returning to Earth and seeing his family again. 127

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rose Kingdom and Aurora’s Curse

Rhine enters the Rose Kingdom before the Sleeping Beauty story begins, helps the royal couple conceive, names their daughter Aurora, and becomes the kingdom’s Court Magician and Sage. When Maleficent curses Aurora and threatens the entire kingdom, Rhine uses his final Blessing to create a path toward survival and organizes Aurora’s training in secrecy. 2 4 12 19

He becomes Aurora’s mentor, arranging sword training and preparing to seek Maleficent beyond the Rose Kingdom rather than waiting passively for the curse to unfold. 25 30 35

Sea Kingdom and West Asia Kingdom

While searching for the Sea Hag’s knowledge of Maleficent, Rhine and Aurora enter the Sea Kingdom. Rhine gains the trust of mermaids through his knowledge, acquires the Sea Hag’s alchemy, and brews Ariel a safer transformation potion for free. 39 43 46 48

He helps Ariel and Eric overcome the Old Witch’s schemes, reveals that Ariel already possesses an Immortal Soul, and assists in establishing an alliance between the Sea Kingdom and West Asia Kingdom. The alliance’s accumulated wishes later form the Scepter of the Sea. 84 91 92 96

White Kingdom Reforms

Rhine intervenes in the White Kingdom’s political crisis and becomes its Sage. He devises a plan centered on the Magic Mirror to restore stability, reform the kingdom, and give its Queen a path away from the Witch Council’s destructive influence. 110 115 129

Eastern Witch, Magridore, and Maleficent

Magridore captures Rhine in a Gourd intended to reduce him to blood within two hours, but Rhine substitutes the Old Witch’s Wraith for himself and returns to the sea battlefield. 132 140 141

Using the Scepter of the Sea, Rhine turns the sea into a battlefield where he can challenge Maleficent directly. He overwhelms her with storms and lightning while Aurora, the Sea Hag, and their allies contain the Eastern Witch. 141 142

Land of Oz and the Witch Council

After being teleported to Emerald City, Rhine reunites with Oz and accepts him as his disciple. He later reaches the Legendary Magician realm while aiding figures such as Pinocchio and confronting Magridore. 146 149 158 159

Rhine helps prepare Aurora for her fated duel with Maleficent, using the Silver Shoes to gather blessings, allies, and information within minutes. He also manipulates the Middle Eastern Witch into preventing the destruction of Alamaide Kingdom and lifting the Four-Colored Fish curse on the Land of Oz. 162 164 167

Return to Earth

After Aurora questions what Rhine himself desires, he admits that he wishes to return to Earth and reunite with his family. A divination directs him to the Witch Council Head, Ye Ruge. 127 128

Ye Ruge reveals that she is also from Earth and possesses a two-person ritual for opening a path home. Rhine trains Aurora for two months, transfers his Wish Magician ability to her, says farewell to his allies, and begins the cross-world ritual with Ye Ruge. 175 178

Notable Quotes

“I want to go home.” 127

“No matter how deep or dark the night, the dawn will surely come!” 4

“On the sea, I can have the most powerful power. Even a Legendary Magician like the Black Witch Maleficent cannot fight me on the sea!” 141

Trivia

• Rhine chose the name Aurora because he recognized it as Sleeping Beauty’s most widely known name across versions of the tale. 4
• Although his appearance remains that of a young boy, Rhine has lived in the fairy-tale world for well over a decade. 1 140
• Oz’s stories about Rhine portray him as everything from a giant of flame to a many-headed monster, making Rhine’s ordinary appearance difficult for Emerald City’s soldiers to believe. 147
• Rhine’s initial wish-related growth came from healing common people rather than from identifying a Child of Destiny. 1
