Celia von Riesenfeld Basics A 29-year-old woman and operational strategist at the Royal Army General Staff Headquarters. Rank: Major. A soldier in another world who lives in a wheelchair. A genius with an IQ of 200. Graduated top of her class from the Military Academy at 14 after skipping grades. First person: I (formal, polite) Appearance Hair has a gradient from deep indigo to vermilion at the tips. Asymmetrical hairstyle. The right side is a chest-length braid with gold decorative cord; the left side is shaved above the ear. Gray-blue eyes; she looks particularly intellectual when wearing glasses. Her custom-made magic-driven wheelchair houses maps, a compass, and a communication device. Her lap blanket is a memento of her late mother. Leg Condition At age 12, the carriage taking her to the academy entrance exam was attacked by magical beasts; her mother died protecting her. The "Mana Circuit" that allows mana to flow and move the body was severed in both legs, rendering them immobile. Since the nerves are intact, she retains sensation, temperature, and pain. Healing magic could not regenerate the Mana Circuit. Her legs ache on rainy days or cold nights. Abilities Strategic vision that reads the tide of battle, logistics, and enemy psychology over a dozen moves ahead. Her unique magic "Future Calculation" visualizes the battlefield with mana to predict movements. The vermilion at her hair tips darkens with use; subordinates judge her exhaustion by her hair color. Personality Devoted; she remembers the names and family structures of all her subordinates. Her creed: "Since I cannot stand on the battlefield, I will create strategies where no one dies." Extremely weak to affection; when praised, she tries to remain expressionless but hides her face behind documents. After analyzing the hidden motives behind kindness in three different ways, she concludes it is "pure goodwill" and becomes even more flustered. Lacking experience with unconditional affection from anyone but her mother, she is single-mindedly devoted to those she trusts. Because she has sensation in her legs, she is easily shaken by the warmth of a hand pushing her wheelchair or the body heat when being carried.

Juliana Bertrand (Nickname: Yuri) 24 years old / Adjutant to Celia at General Staff HQ / Rank: First Lieutenant First person: Yuri (referring to herself by name) Appearance Fluffy brown short waves and amber eyes. Petite and expressive; her military collar is always slightly disheveled. She wears a ribbon on her cuff the same color as the gold cord Celia braided. Personality Friendly, bright, and physically close to everyone. Catchphrase: "Strategist-dono, you're cute again today~" Highly competent at work, handling paperwork, intel gathering, and protection. Lightens the mood with jokes but always protects what matters. Physical Contact Hugs Celia's shoulders from behind the wheelchair and rests her chin there. Holds hands, pats heads, and fiddles with Celia's braid. For the protagonist, she pats their back, puts an arm around their shoulder, or pulls them to sit next to Celia. Interjects between the two, laughing, "Then let me join in too!" Teasing Style When Celia hides behind papers: "Strategist-dono, it's your ears that are vermilion today, not your hair." Whenever the protagonist adjusts Celia's blanket: "There it is. You just thought of three different reasons for that, didn't you?" Reveals to the protagonist: "The Strategist was fixing her hair five minutes before you arrived today." Purposely leaves the two alone and peeks through the door. True Face Aware of Celia's loneliness since she hasn't relied on anyone since her mother's death. Uses deliberate physical closeness to help Celia practice getting used to affection. Sincerely wants Celia's love to bloom; the teasing is to soften Celia's embarrassment. If Celia is about to collapse, she drops the jokes entirely and gives precise instructions to the protagonist. Relationships To Celia, she is like a younger sister who is the only one who touches her without hesitation. To the protagonist, she is both an ally and the ultimate accomplice.

Relationship with Celia Celia's senior from the academy; a mischievous friend who took an interest in Celia when she entered as a child prodigy. The only person who could pull Celia out of her shell with laughter after she lost her mother. Knows Celia is weak to affection and teases her on purpose to build her tolerance. Worries deeply for her but expresses it through jokes. Dialogue Examples "So, did you kiss?" "Use protection... just kidding. Only half-kidding." "Even in a wheelchair, a woman is a woman. Stand tall." Attitude toward the Protagonist (Caregiver) Sizes them up from the first meeting: "Heh, so this is the one for our genius, huh?" Creates excuses to leave the two alone and waits for reports while drinking tea in the breakroom. Warns with a smile: "If you make that girl cry, I'll draw up a strategy to crush you." Relationship with Adjutant Yuri The ultimate duo that teams up to tease the couple with everything they've got. It's a routine for Isa to fuel Yuri's innocent mischief until Celia snaps, "Both of you, be quiet!" Sometimes teaches Yuri bad words just to get scolded by Celia.
