Background / History

Gevra was born into the Nova family in Sigg Town. After awakening as a witch, a mysterious force around her brought repeated misfortunes to her household. Her father condemned her as a child of damnation and drove her away; she survived alone in the deep mountains for nearly two years. Garin, Dick, Jet, and the mountain dwellers provided her with care during that exile. 21 76

Shasta located Gevra while searching for witches in the region. Although Shasta offered sanctuary in the Witch Forest, Gevra denied being a witch and feared that her power would kill anyone who tried to help her. When Romain and Shasta disputed her custody, Gevra chose neither faction outright, saying only that she wanted to go home. 19 23 26

Romain nevertheless brought her to Origin Manor and appointed her his personal attendant. There, she received regular food, clean clothing, shelter, and protection from the anti-witch prejudice that had defined her childhood. A sachet of Holy Salt later suppressed much of her uncontrolled aura, allowing her to work near others with less fear. 30 58

As her health and confidence improved, Gevra resumed contact with the people who had sheltered her in the mountains. With Sana, she repeatedly brought food and supplies to Garin, Dick, and Jet, repaying their earlier kindness despite believing she was sneaking out without permission. 75 76 77

After her five-star Apostle status was revealed, Gevra began studying spellcraft and confronting her fear of harming others. Lyanna's Magic Potion strengthened her magic, while Romain and the Witch Forest directed her fate magic toward crop breeding, livestock selection, and agricultural production. 154 213 259 261 270

Appearance

Gevra was initially a severely undernourished mountain child, described as small and frail enough that her survival seemed improbable. Regular food and care at Origin Manor gradually restored her health. 30 58

• Long black hair, initially coarse and unkempt. 30
• Large brown eyes often compared to a fawn's. 30
• Approximately 1.3 meters tall when first brought to Origin Manor. 30
• Initially skeletal, with stick-thin arms and hollow cheeks; later developed a fuller, healthier appearance. 30 58

Personality

Gevra is sensitive, timid, and deeply shaped by the belief that she brings suffering to others. Even after reaching safety, she initially hides her power rather than risk harming Romain or her friends. Her fear of abandonment and hunger reflects the years she spent alone in the mountains. 21 30 153 154

She is intensely grateful to people who treat her with kindness. This gratitude drives her to carry food to the mountain outcasts, care for Garin, and protect Sana when she believes Sana is in danger. 75 77 150 164

Gevra seeks Romain's approval and feels secure under his authority, though she gradually becomes more proactive in her work. She can also become jealous and emotionally volatile when she feels surpassed or betrayed, as shown in her conflict with Sana over their studies. 35 111 123 289

Her compassion extends even to enemies and prisoners. During the aftermath of the Bountiful City campaign, she argues that captured mercenaries are not all irredeemable, though she ultimately accepts Romain's decision to execute them. 391 392

Abilities & Skills

Hand of Fate

Gevra's innate talent allows her to influence destiny rather than command it absolutely. She can bestow a possible future upon a target, after which the final result is left to Destiny. 213 262

• Can nudge probabilities, including Romain's recruitment results. 262
• Can favor beneficial mutations and traits in crops and selected livestock. 269 289
• Is most effective on limited, controlled targets such as experimental fields rather than large-scale political or military events. 269
• Has stringent activation conditions and cannot guarantee that a desired outcome will occur. 213 262
• Heavy use causes exhaustion, particularly when blessing large areas of crops. 270 271 281

Turn Misfortune to Fortune

A named Apostle skill associated with Gevra's ability to convert or redirect luck and misfortune. Her early aura manifested as uncontrolled calamity, while her later blessings increasingly emphasize favorable outcomes. 31 154 289

• Her uncontrolled power harmed the Nova family's home, health, and livestock. 21 31
• Her later blessings improve crop health, yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability. 270 289
• She secretly used blessings on Ami and on selected young animals intended for breeding. 289

Terrifying Curse

A named Apostle skill described as “cursing words born from the heart.” 154

• Gevra's emotional outburst toward Sana reveals a frightening side that contrasts sharply with her usual gentleness. 123
• Its specific combat applications and limits have not been documented.

Basic Spellcraft

Gevra mastered four basic spells through witch training. 212 213

• Mental Interference / Alpha Seal — briefly disrupts a target's thoughts; it affected Romain for roughly half a second to one second. 212 213
• Energy Impact — a short-range force comparable to a child striking with a wooden stick. 213
• Defense Shield / Delta Seal — creates a close-range barrier, but cannot reliably stop arrows, swords, or spears. 212 213
• Mental Meditation — a self-targeted spell that quickly induces concentrated focus rather than serving as a combat technique. 213
• Her offensive spells have an effective range of roughly seven to eight meters and require about ten seconds of preparation, followed by significant recovery time. 213

Agricultural Blessings

Gevra's most significant contribution is the use of fate magic for selective breeding and crop improvement.

• Blessed rice paddies to favor high yield, disease resistance, lodging resistance, adaptability, and other desirable traits. 270
• Her experimental rice fields reached nearly 300 jin per mu in an early documented harvest. 289
• Later rice varieties were identified as Gevra No. 3 and Gevra No. 4. 332 342
• With Lyra's aid, her repeated blessings were projected to produce rice yields of at least 500 jin per mu, with some fields exceeding 700–800 jin. 421
• Also blesses wheat, horses, donkeys, cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens selected for breeding. 289 308 339

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Holy Salt sachet — worn around her neck to suppress the strange power clinging to her and reduce the danger she poses to nearby people. 58
• Lyanna's Magic Potion — a dangerous witch-made potion she consumed to enhance her spellcasting potential; it could only be taken once safely. 259 261 271
• Ami — a young donkey given to Gevra by Romain; she named it and secretly blessed it. 260 278 289

Relationships

• Romain Armor-Splitting — Her lord, protector, and personal attendant's master. He shelters, educates, and trains her while relying on her Fate Witch potential. 30 58 154 270
• Shasta — The witch who found Gevra in the mountains and tried to bring her to the Witch Forest. Shasta recognizes Gevra's fear and remains concerned for her safety. 19 21 23 24
• Sana — Her close friend and frequent companion. Their bond includes mutual support, jealousy over academic progress, and reconciliation after painful arguments. 75 111 123 150
• Hard Nova — Her father, who drove her away after blaming her witch power for the family's disasters; his attitude later changes after she becomes Romain's attendant. 21 30 75
• Sima Nova — Her mother. Initially fearful, she later reunites warmly with Gevra and takes pride in her daughter's improved life. 30 75
• Garin — The mountain doctor who cared for her and taught her how to understand her fate magic. Gevra considers him a grandfather figure. 21 76 150 213
• Dick — A mountain outcast who protected Gevra during her isolation. She continues to bring him supplies and urges him to leave the mountains. 75 76
• Jet — A mountain outcast initially skeptical of Romain and Gevra's claims of change. Witnessing Gevra's transformation helps persuade him to leave the mountains. 76 77
• Lyra Silvermoon — A Witch Forest ally whose assistance greatly improves Gevra's spell efficiency and agricultural results. 421
• Jola — A captured mercenary whose plight evokes Gevra's compassion during the Bountiful City campaign. 390 391 392

• Apostle awakening and witch training — Is revealed as a five-star Apostle and learns basic spellcraft while struggling to accept her own potential. 154 212 213
