In White, it is revealed that Halna had secretly captured multiple magical girl students and forcibly fused their minds and spirits with homunculus clones. |
Appearance[]
Halna is described by Calkoro to have an incredibly striking appearance. Her traits are mage-like, with pointed ears and heterochromatic eyes, but also with a certain softness to her features that creates a perfect balance. Snow White describes her as having hair pulled back into a tight bun and as wearing glasses.
Though she wears mage robes in her first appearance, she also changes into less restictive clothes that are more comfortable when she needs to, such as business clothes.
Personality[]
As the headmistress of the prestigious Umemizaki Middle School, Halna is a strict woman with high standards. She demands respect from her students and won't hesitate to exercise her authority. She also seems to favor students who might help improve the school's reputation, whilst being needlessly strict with those she dislikes.
Beneath her cold exterior, however, Halna actually has a strong sense of responsibility and harbors many regrets over what she perceives to be her own personal failures. Having been in charge of the Cranberry Investigation post-Unmarked (Arc 1), she harbors an extreme dislike toward Cranberry that even Snow White considers excessive. Similarly, she is greatly saddened whenever a similar incident occurs. Because of this, Halna considers her current position to be a chance to guide future Magical Girls onto the right path, which is the cause her strictness.
It is eventually revealed that Halna's sense of duty has driven her to borderline madness. Due to seeing her students as nothing more than criminals, mercenaries, and terrorists, she has no qualms with killing them and transferring their minds into homonculus clones, using them as her own personal army. She does not even seem to understand the depravity of her actions, arguably making her just as sociopathic as the Magical Girls she despises. However, she still has some morality remaining, being unwilling to turn Calkoro, a fellow mage, into a humonculus as she believes that would be "blasphemy".
Magic[]
Due to being a mage, Halna does not have a unique magical ability of her own. Despite this, she is capable of casting spells in order to benefit herself as well as magical girls. She has casted a spell to speed up how fast she runs, add protection to her robe, and buff magical girls who fight on her side just to name a few.
Special Item(s)[]
- Contract (Black Ver): Similar to other contracts seen in the series, the person who signs the contract cannot break it. It's unsure what the punishment would be if one were to break the contract.
- Spell-conferred knife: A knife that Halna uses to slice the necks of three magical girls who infiltrate the courtyard.
Relationships[]
Calkoro[]
Halna and Calkoro maintain a superior-subordinate relationship. She does not seem to like the latter's timid nature, wanting her to behave as one would expect from a teacher at the esteemed Umemizaki Middle School.
Despite her dislike for Calkoro's timid nature, Halna refuses to kill Calkoro despite having numerous opportunities to do so. She believes that replacing Calkoro's mage body with a homunculi would be blasphemy.
Miss Satou[]
Halna uses Miss Satou, a homunculus clone of Musician Of The Forest, Cranberry, to guard the Courtyard and the entrance to the ruins.
Kana[]
Halna has displayed nothing but contempt for Kana due to her criminal record. She does not like her attending Umemizaki Middle School and warned her she'd be expelled at the first sign of trouble. She also seems to dislike her on a personal level, only answering her questions so she'd leave her alone. However, after trying to look into her past and finding nothing, she grew curious regarding her true identity. Like with the other members of the current Magical Girl Class, Halna plans on eventually expelling her.
Mephis Pheles[]
Halna wanted Mephis to let Kana stay at her house, and went to ask her directly. After Mepis disrespected and swore at her, not knowing she was her headmistress. Halna changed her request into an order, punishing Mepis by forcing her to let Kana stay over at her house. Like with the other students of the current Magical Girl Class, Halna plans on eventually expelling her.
It is revealed later on that Halna had captured Mephis and transferred her mind to a homunculus clone. According to Halna herself, there wasn't any specific reason for Mephis herself being chosen other than Halna found an opportunity to do so. While it is not directly stated when Mephis had been captured, it is implied that Halna got her shortly after she and Tetty went into the courtyard.
Tetty Goodgripp[]
Tetty is one of Halna's students and was also the first magical girl to be captured and turned into a homunculus by her. Just like Mephis, Halna states there was no particular reason Tetty was chosen.
Snow White[]
Halna was overjoyed when the famous Magical Girl Hunter transferred to Umemizaki Middle School. Upon reading her mind, Snow White learns that this is due to her being a "Child of Cranberry" and wanting to guide her down the right path. Overall, Snow White is the only student in the current class who Halna actually likes and wants to keep around.
Magical Girl Class[]
As a staunch critic of the Magical Kingdom's policy of "quantity-over-quality" regarding it's Magical Girls, Halna founded the Magical Girl Class in hopes of guiding new recruits onto the right path. However, much to her dismay, it instead became a cesspool of spies, terrorists, and mercenaries, each with their own alterior motive. As a result, Halna plans on eventually expelling all the current students and replacing them with new, "pure" Magical Girls. However, she at least allowed them to attend Umemizaki's school festival, albeit as long as they follow the rules they agreed on.
