As a Magical Girl, Pythie Frederica has long, chocolate brown hair. The edges of two strands of hair on either side of her head are orange, with long, thin, curly strands flowing all the way down to her feet. Her eyes have the top half purple, and the bottom half a pale orange. She also has small star-shaped marks of various colors beneath her eyes and rectangular brown earrings.

The bottom of her hood is edged in translucent white lace, with several cream-colored ribbons curling down from it.

Personality[]
Pythie Frederica is a cunning and clever magical girl. She is shown to easily manipulate the people around her and is behind most of the incidents in the Magical Kingdom. Pythie will also not hesitate to get rid of anyone who stands in her way of her goals.
Pythie is shown to loves hair very much and is obsessed with it, even valuing it more than food. She is a bit of a pervert as well, as she habitually thinks of other Magical Girls and blushes, usually, at the ones with beautiful hair and elegant costumes, such as Snow White or Prism Cherry.
Regardless of whether she achieves victory or defeat, she’s a special one who can find joy in either. She is also quite fond of Snow White and thinks she is cute, often blushing whenever thinking about her. Pythie vows to continue to nurture Snow White, as Pythie believes that she is the ideal Magical Girl.
Magic[]
Can reflect whoever she wants in her crystal ball.
By wrapping a strand of hair around her finger, she can look into her crystal ball, and see the person that the strand of hair came from. However, she cannot hear the words from them. Due to this, she tries to observe her target to understand the situation and act accordingly. In this state, the target cannot perceive her. Although she can only see one person at a time, it is possible for her to switch channels by wrapping different strands of hair around multiple fingers. The hair must come from the head and the hair must be long enough so that she can wrap it around her fingers.
Putting her hand or body into the crystal ball allows her to interfere with the surroundings of her target. It is also possible to send objects from her side to the target, or in reverse. There is no restriction in the size of the object being sent, but Pythie has to be able to hold the object that she is transporting. Such implication works regardless of the distance between the subject and Pythie, or the dimension the subject is in.
Her magic does not work on the deceased. If the person she is reflecting is dead, the crystal ball will turn black.
Special Item(s)[]
- Crystal Ball: Pythie's unique magical crystal ball that is necessary to use her magic.
- Magical Sword: Pukin's Rapier. This sword can alter the mind of whoever is stabbed by it. The sword works for Pukin as well. The sword will also work if it's being used by someone other than Pukin. Although Pukin can possess several swords, this is the only one that has magical abilities. Currently in Pythie Frederica's possession.
- Tot Pop's Handkerchief: A handkerchief that Pythie Frederica kept after Tot Pop died. she still has it in her possession.

As Ripple once again, she was sent out as an assassin to eliminate Micchan the Dictionary and Premium Sachiko during the events of ACES. Afterwards, Pythie Frederica released Ripple's brainwashing in front of Snow White after she had killed Premium Sachiko, claiming that it was the right time, as Ripple could no longer grow if she was still under her and that both Ripple and Snow White could only grow from that experience.

Pythie turns on Pukin, breaking her wrist as she dies and stealing her rapier. This is not done with malice but rather convenience.
Pythie keeps Pukin’s rapier with her to this day, and uses it to brainwash Ripple.

She reflects back on how different the Frederica with Pukin was, and how she gallivanted about by her side with no fear.
