Background / History
Natsuki was originally an ordinary high-school student whose exceptional aptitude as a Witch was discovered by the Artificial Island Management Corporation. Under the pretext of serving a greater cause, she was coerced into a demon contract and made warden of the Prison Barrier, a dimensional prison for dangerous Magecraft criminals. The contract confined her true body to a desolate dreamscape while she acted outside through an illusory vessel. 491 492
As warden, she personally captured the prisoners under her authority and maintained that none had been falsely imprisoned: every inmate was a heinous criminal caught in the act. Her work established her European reputation as the Witch of the Void and Demon Slayer, feared by demons and Magecraft criminals alike. 453 493
William and La Folia first encountered her in Rome while pursuing her spatial Magecraft grimoire. Natsuki detected their repeated spatial jumps, lured them into a secluded alley, and restrained them with the Chain of Commandments before William broke free. Rather than continue the confrontation, she postponed his proposed trade until after completing her commission against Glan Sakharov. 453 454 455
On Gozo Island, Natsuki cooperated with William and La Folia to investigate a perception-obstructing barrier and confront beastman forces. She later accompanied William to Island of Gen'ei as the Feast of Blazing Light approached, prioritizing the island's civilians despite her distrust of both William and the Lion King Agency. 456 458 467 475
William ultimately entered the Prison Barrier with her, located her sleeping true body, and destroyed her demon contract using the Moon Star Spirit's power and a page from the Book of Worlds. The act freed her from the Barrier and transformed her Golden Knight Guardian into a pure white knight. 492 497
Afterward, Natsuki supported William's takeover of Island of Gen'ei. She identified the relatively upright Lan Yu faction, helped suppress opposition, and assumed authority over the island's armed security forces while Lan Yu Xian Zhai handled its public political leadership. 501 507
Appearance
Natsuki maintains the appearance of a young girl despite being twenty-two at the time of her first meeting with Akatsuki Kojo. Her usual attire is a black Gothic Lolita-style dress, complemented by a lace folding fan and parasol. 453 457 490 512
- Long black hair and a doll-like, petite appearance. 490 512
- Commonly wears black Gothic Lolita clothing as her signature style. 490 567
- Uses a lace folding fan both as an accessory and to strike or reprimand others. 455 457 563
- Frequently carries a parasol when working around Island of Gen'ei. 475
- Following the destruction of her demon contract, her body resumed normal growth and developed noticeable curves over several years. 508
Personality
Natsuki is composed, self-assured, and unwilling to become servile even when confronting overwhelming power. She is confident that few beings short of the Progenitors can truly contain her, yet she remains cautious around unknown threats and refuses dubious bargains. 453 455
Her strongest priority is the safety of Island of Gen'ei and its residents. When William offered her freedom, eternal life, and greater power, her immediate concern was what would happen to the Prison Barrier and the people it protected rather than her own future. 491 492
Though outwardly cold and sharp-tongued, Natsuki is a responsible educator and administrator. She monitors her students' attendance, reprimands misconduct directly, and supports exceptional effort when it serves the island's security. 512 562 563
She is sensitive about her youthful appearance and reacts badly to comments about her age, particularly from Akatsuki Kojo. Her more playful side emerges around trusted companions, often through teasing exchanges with Aurora, Sentouki Aya, and William. 457 470 572

- Personally captured the Barrier's prisoners and judged them to be guilty of severe crimes. 493
