Übel

Übel is a first-class Mage and an infamous troublemaker that participated in the same First-Class Mage Exam as Frieren and Fern. Prior to the exam, she was a third-class mage. Übel is a young human mage of similar height to Fern. She has dark green hair that is sectioned into three groups of bangs and tied into a thick side ponytail. Her eyes are purple with a noticeably droopy shape and abundant eyelashes. Übel's main attire consists of a tight-fitting black top that frames her chest and is held up by four straps—three on her front and one on her back—that attach to a ring on a choker. She wears a thick belt that is clasped at the front and has two loops attached on each side. The belt separates her top from a black, thigh-length pleated skirt. For footwear, she wears black boots that reach just below her knees. Her top, skirt, and boots are all embellished with white trims. Outside of her typical attire, Übel also dons a number of accessories. She wears a black glove on her right arm that end between her wrist and elbow, two black bands on her upper left arm, a silver band on her upper right arm, and a black band on each thigh and shin. Her mage staff has the appearance of a black spear with two curved blades adjacent to the tip, a pointed end shaped like a lightning bolt, and a black ribbon tied near the tip. When Übel is dispatched on a mission as a first-class mage and visits Land's hometown, she wears an off-the-shoulder and cropped black coat with large sleeves over her usual attire. During Übel and Land infiltration of a gathering for nobles during the Foundation Festival in the Empire, Übel styles her hair half-up with a flower. She wears a strapless black dress with a floral and sheer lace turtleneck that extends into sleeves on her arms, a flower tied around her waist, and black heels. The hem of her dress includes a slit on the side that reveals a frilly layer underneath. Übel has a calm and sly demeanor, and she is notorious for being a troublemaker. She enjoys the act of fighting to the death and does not hesitate to kill others, feeling no guilt or remorse afterwards. Additionally, she is quite talkative in battle to the point where she expresses she'd likely die if she had to be quiet. Despite her reputation, Übel actively makes an effort to sympathize with others and learn about them, going as far as following a target around or holding long conversations in tense situations. This characteristic is derived from her belief that specialized magic is connected to a Mage's personality and experiences, and she is capable of copying spells from those she empathizes with. For instance, she shared the sentiment of delaying a kill with Wirbel after learning about his background in war, leading to her ability to use his Sorganeil spell. She also showed hesitation towards killing him as a result of this shared empathy. Additionally, Übel approaches stressful situations with a level head and is a competent strategist and quick thinker. She places trust in the individuals she works with and is willing to open up to others, even when she knows they may become her enemies in the future. Her observations of her teammates also allow her to accurately utilize their abilities when needed and be considerate of them.
