Power Progression

Background / History

Royal upbringing and academy education

Moli is the daughter of Dragon Emperor Agnes and Dragon Empress Cynthia. She rejects becoming crown princess because she wants to study magic and art, and objects to Agnes leaving the work of government to others while pursuing acting 156.

As a small child, Moli accidentally formed a genuine dragon-rider contract while playing make-believe with a blue dragon cub. She learned about the bond again in her teens, when her mother brought the dragon to her. She concealed the contract from Cynthia, who was introducing adult dragons as prospective battle partners, and ran away to take a magic academy’s entrance examination 178.

Moli graduated from the Royal Magic Academy at sixteen and became a research institute assistant. Xipei regarded her as exceptionally gifted, but criticized the academy for allowing her to graduate with outstanding fire magic and almost no competence in other elements 30 54.

Becoming Xipei’s apprentice

Moli called Xipei “Teacher” long before Xipei agreed to accept her. Two years before their formal agreement, she slipped an apprentice-registration form among institute documents for Xipei to sign, then had it officially sealed by the Mages’ Association 2 29 30.

During Xipei’s imprisonment for destroying public property, Moli arrived announcing that she had come to the rescue. Xipei inadvertently referred to themself as her teacher, prompting Moli to celebrate. Xipei then explicitly accepted her, explaining that the earlier refusal came from doubts about being a qualified teacher rather than doubts about Moli 29.

After arranging Xipei’s release, Moli offered her family wealth to support her teacher. Her first assessment exposed weak spell control, but a few hours of practice demonstrated learning speed that Xipei thought might surpass their own 30 31 32.

Tower life and kidnapping

Moli moved into Mel’s tower and enthusiastically befriended his apprentice, Anna, whose writing she admired. Both apprentices were dismayed by the tower’s lack of internet and phone reception, which Mel had deliberately blocked 60 61 62.

The pair disappeared after leaving for an internet café. Their kidnapping was connected to an attempt to target Madsen, and Anna later admitted that they had trusted someone encountered through a game 65 66 95.

After their rescue, Xipei allowed them to join the fighting but forbade Moli from using fire magic. Her poor results with other elements left her afraid that Xipei would consider her unworthy and abandon her. Xipei reassured her, Mel explained how pressure was undermining her casting, and Moli unexpectedly produced Hellfire during the ensuing celebration 95 97 98.

Expeditions and royal revelation

Moli and Anna later argued that dangerous battles would help them become worthy apprentices. Their teachers agreed to let them participate while promising protection 112.

During the expedition through enemy-held territory, Moli burned away vegetation concealing camouflaged mechas and later performed Group Teleportation. Her tendency to treat exploration like a game also earned a warning from Xipei to remain cautious even if she eventually surpassed her teacher 124 127 133.

Following the Dragon Emperor’s rescue, Agnes revealed Moli’s royal identity to Xipei. Moli pleaded to remain an apprentice rather than become crown princess, confronted Agnes about neglecting parental responsibilities, and invited Xipei and Mel to visit the imperial capital 156.

Defense of Holy Light City and later events

Moli arrived at the mothership battle riding Frost, accompanied by roughly a dozen young dragons. She directed them to carry people to safety, offering candy and cake as rewards 178.

After the explosion, she caught Xipei in midair. With Xipei too exhausted to handle all the falling debris alone, Moli learned Dark Blades on the spot and helped the young dragons break up the wreckage before it struck Holy Light City 180.

Moli celebrated Mel’s public proposal to Xipei with Anna and the child dragons. In the later birthday story, she remained worried about inheriting the throne: Agnes threatened to challenge her if the imperial couple could not secure another sperm donation, and losing such a challenge meant being forced to inherit 156 191 198.

Appearance

Moli has black hair, large round eyes, and a delicate, fresh-faced appearance with two dimples beneath her elaborate makeup 2 31 98.

• Death-metal makeup: Favors pale foundation, heavy black eye makeup, black lipstick, and glitter; later experiments with gore makeup 31 52.
• Tongue piercing: Wears a gold ring in her tongue 29.
• Fashion: Has worn tight, hole-riddled magic pants and a decorative skull chain, both of which caused trouble in the laboratory 41.
• Waterproof cosmetics: Switches to waterproof makeup after Xipei’s water spells ruin her earlier makeup during training 31 53.

Personality

Moli is exuberant, affectionate, and outspoken. She loudly announces her feelings, frequently hugs Xipei, and is initially the only assistant willing to argue with them about magic. Her persistence extends to secretly registering herself as an apprentice rather than accepting repeated refusals 1 29 30.

Her devotion to Xipei combines admiration with practical generosity. She offers money, accommodation, and even a share in her property, and resents institute assistants who mock her choice of mentor. Beneath that confidence, she fears disappointing Xipei and losing the apprenticeship she worked so hard to obtain 30 33 98 170.

She loves melodramatic webnovels, entertainment gossip, games, nightlife, and modern technology. Reading sometimes costs her sleep or distracts her during experiments, but Xipei also credits her with keeping them connected to modern society 5 15 30 54.

Moli’s talent does not always translate into discipline or caution. She can learn extremely quickly, yet neglects broad magical training and sometimes approaches real danger with a gamer’s expectations. When anxious, she tends to overeat 32 91 127.

• Anna — Close friend and Mel’s apprentice. Moli admires her writing, offers illustrations, and shares both everyday mischief and dangerous expeditions with her 60 62 95 112.
• Mephistopheles Madsen / Mel — Her teacher’s partner and the owner of their tower. He welcomes her, comforts her during her magical difficulties, and also disciplines her when she becomes unruly 61 98 170.
