Magic the Gandhi

About
Magic the Gandhi is the daughter of the king of Zeth, Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi, and as such is the magic country's sole princess and heir to the throne. Additionally, she is the youngest of Zeth's Four Lords, making her the ruler and guardian of the Magazine Tower and answerable to no one but the king himself.

Despite being born a princess, one of Magic's main drives in life was to be respected upon her own merits instead of her lineage. As such she spent most of her adult life dedicated to improving her own abilities, to the point that she is now one of the most powerful mages in Zeth. But all of this hard-work did cause her to live a mostly secluded life with few friends and social interactions, the better to focus on her mastery of magic, and she developed a somewhat sheltered outlook on life.

In her quest to prove her worth, she set multiple goals to herself, such as earning her status as a Zeth Lord. By her father's decree, only those that had proved themselves to be among the country's strongest mages could aspire to be part of the powerful group, yet she managed to earn the title even while still learning at Zeth's magical academy. However even legitimately earning the prestigious title wasn't sufficient for her, and she remained extremely dedicated to her studies with the intent of graduating at the top of her class, despite the intense competition from other talented magic users like Eropicha Nyanko. But because of this devotion to her courses she spent little time tending to her additional responsibilities as a Lord during the earlier parts of her tenure, instead relying on the efficient Chizuko Yamada to take over her duties in the government.

As a powerful and attractive figure in the country of Zeth, she was required to participate in Zeth's 8th Beauty Contest much to her own displeasure. She did convince the organizers to feature her in a somewhat conservative one-piece swimsuit, but the picture still drew the interest of Rance who from then on swore to make her his.

She is one of the only two Four lords to have retained her position after Zeth's restructuring following the Monster Invasion alongside Chizuko Yamada and thus one of the two magic users still part of the group. As her studies were finally over she is now a more active politician within Zeth despite being preoccupied with her new goal: marrying a reformed Rance and make him the new king of Zeth.

Personality and Appearance
Magic is a slim woman of average height with long brown hair that neatly parts at the top of her head, displaying her prominent forehead. She wears large rimmed glasses combined with a standard school uniform which fittingly enough gives her the look of a nerdy college student. Magic is an extremely serious and focused individual who spent much of her life in bettering herself and her abilities in order to become one of the country's greatest mages. This led her to have very few social interactions and live a mostly secluded life as even her classmates would treat her with deference instead of a peer. Consequently she has few close friends and has a fairly sheltered outlook on life.

She is an extremely avid bookworm and much of her understanding of romance and relationships comes from romance literature and shoujo mangas. This has so much replaced her social life that she relies solely on them when trying to discover anything new, and she has accumulated a wide variety of books concerning many different subjects, such as magic, mathematics, etiquette... When faced with a problem she will usually turn to them, and she even ended up lending many (annotated) books on proper noble conduct to Rance in the hopes that he would use learn how to be a gentleman ( it didn't work ). She is a firm believer that there is a always a "proper" way to do things, usually what was described in a praised book, and as such gives a fair amount of importance to etiquette and a certain decorum. Of course this encompassing knowledge does not cover everything, and when cornered on her ignorance about something she will give the traditional academia pretense "Of course I was already well aware of that!". Though she can sometimes be quite shy, particularly around romantic situations, she has a very fierce temper when provoked, a great deal of confidence in herself and her abilities and an iron will to accomplish her objectives, which all combined with her powerful abilities makes her a dangerous opponent. Still, her youth and inexperience makes her somewhat easy to manipulate if the right tactics are employed, as Eropicha and Rance both trick her on multiple occasions.

Her relationship with her father is sometimes tumultuous as she often considers him to be overbearing, crude and whimsical with his duties as king, while he considers her to be too easily worried about trivialities and ironically also dislikes how lightly she treats some of her responsibilities. Despite their spats however, the two are really quite close and Gandhi is usually quite proud of her daughter's constant determination. Though she is not quite the constant idealistic fighter he is, she is a kind individual who shares her father's vision of an egalitarian Zeth and who cares deeply for the life of all of the country's citizens, and is perfectly willing to risk her own life for them.

The young but talented Light General Alex Valse of the Zeth Army once served as her private tutor. The young nobleman shared much of her romantic outlook as well as showed himself to be both gentle and patient, in stark contrast to her more coarse father. The two quickly became quite close and even developed a romantic relationship, but due to their shyness neither of them was willing to make the first move and the relationship remained mostly platonic, before breaking off completely during the Monster Invasion.

Because of her dedication and ability, no one could contest her position as top of her class at the magic academy with the exception of the seemingly innocent but deceptively cunning Eropicha. Eropicha would often spend time with Magic despite the latter's protests, keeping an eye on her progress through the lesson plans and putting discrete obstacles in her way (such as tea laced with a sleeping agent). Of course though Eropicha would always deny doing any such thing, Magic was wary of her despite her naiveté. However during the stress imposed by the Monster Invasion and her father pressuring her to spend time with Rance, a man she loathed, the vulnerable Magic started confiding more and more in Eropicha over her problems and emotions with Magic. From this position, Eropicha lightly encouraged Magic to overcome her dislike of Rance and grow closer to him, leading to Magic's breakup with Alex.

Wichita is one of her few friends, and learning of Rance's behavior towards her at first only solidified her intense dislike for him.

Her relationship with Rance is tumultuous and drastically changed over time. At first she utterly despised him and his brutish persona, as upon their first meeting he tried to assault her, and on their second she was the victim of a long distance projectile attack from Rance's Hyper Weapon. However after a chain of events led her to assume that she was pregnant with his child, she forced herself to go on dates with him, hoping to learn more about the warrior and find ways to make him act in a more refined and noble manner. Though all her efforts in the latter have failed, she soon realized that he shared many qualities with her father, showing himself to be quite brave and bold as well as possessing a carefree and adventurous spirit ( or taking a less charitable view, was quite violent, brutish and rude as well as showing a coarse attitude and a tendency to instantly ignore whatever bored him ).

Despite initially telling herself that those were irritating traits in direct opposition to her more romantic ideals, as time went on, she spent time with him less out of a sense of responsibility and more and more out of genuine affection. Even when she eventually learned that she was never with child, she remained with him and ever since she has taken every opportunity to join him on his adventures, all the while growing ever more attached with him despite, or perhaps at least partially thanks to his rudeness, as he is the only one except for her father who does not care one whit about her status as princess. She is now quite in love with him and still seeks to marry him and make him king of Zeth, while hopefully improving his character while she's at it.

She has a harsh rivalry with Queen Lia of Leazas and the two will often trade insults when meeting each other ( usually with Lia mocking her forehead, while Magic calls her the queen slut ). As powerful women from opposite countries and radically different personalities, the two were never on the best of terms, but their hostility is now mostly over their mutual affection for Rance, as they've both fallen for him and seek to marry and make him king of their respective nation.

Rance VI
However she was shocked to discover that not only was Rance still alive and among the refugees, but that he had grown quite close to her father and that they were bartering for an "official permission to date Magic". She quickly grew infuriated with the two of them and went so far as trying to stop Rance from accomplishing one of his missions with the help of Wichita. However they failed and barely survived the attack of an Apostle, and her anger reached a breaking point when Rance went on to save them all from both the Monster Realm and the army of Leazas. Her stress and frustration caused her to get extremely drunk at the following party organized by Lia, and soon enough Rance started flirting with both princesses much to Magic's disgust. However when Magic woke up, it was in bed next to naked and post-coital Rance and Lia, and the panicking princess wrongfully assumed that she had slept with the warrior, leading the ever romantic Magic to break up with her beloved Alex.

As some time went by and her period was suspiciously late, Magic feared she was pregnant with Rance's child, and despite herself decided that she ought to find out more about her "lover", joining his group and going on multiple date with him between their missions against the Monsters while trying to teach him how to act like a proper gentleman. During this time she started having feelings for him and eventually decided that she would marry him and make him king of Zeth after they defeated the Monster Army. Eventually King Gandhi and assorted others formed a plan to restart the Maginot Line in order to push the monsters back, and as the Four Lords and Four Generals were some of the few individuals having experience with Zeth's Maginot system, Magic and Alex were assigned the task of restarting the system as her father and Anise supplied the magic power. Additionally, the King had decided that whoever proved himself on this mission would be the new king of Zeth, hoping that as Queen she could arrange her wedding with Rance ( and if Rance won, that she could convince him to take her as his queen )

The plan eventually succeeded and Rance was declared the winner, and their wedding was even organized, but the ever free-spirited Rance instead fled Zeth with Sill and Copandon in tow.

Kichikuou Rance
When she found out her father, the King of Zeth, has joined the Leazas army and denounced the four Zeth Guardians, she was extremely pissed off by the stupidity of her dad.

After her boyfriend, Alex Vals, was defeated by the Leazas Army and disappeared, she signed a contract with a a devil named Xacalite to kill Leazas soldiers for her, in exchange for her soul. After Rance nullified her contract and took her first experience, she decided to join the Leazas army to eventually find a chance and convince her father that Rance is actually a bad leader. She refused to let Rance H her anymore, and eventually found her boyfriend, Alex, who had sustained major brain damage, and took care of him.


 * The above events happen in a kind of IF route so in the actual Rance lifetime, they didn't happen.

Rance VI
Magic is the protector of the Tower of Ammunition, however she's more interested in her school work than her duty as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

She was originally going out with Alex Vals, her tutor. However, after a chain of misunderstandings and losing her first experience to Rance, she decided that she's going to marry Rance, and make Rance the next king of Zeth.

After the major Zeth reform of LP0004, she retains her position as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

On the day of her wedding ceremony, Rance who is the groom, ran away from Zeth, along with Sill & Copandon Dott.

Sengoku Rance
When Rance sent a third letter to Zeth requesting help, Magic uses that to excuse her duties as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and led a troop of Zeth magic soldiers to JAPAN.

She commands a unique Mage unit.

Rance Quest
Rance, cursed by Kalar queen Pastel, learns that there is a rare item called Curse Eraser in Zeth Museum, and decides to pay Magic a visit so that he may gain access to the rare item (and have sex with Magic while at it). However he finds out that Magic is down with cold that can only be cured by a rare herb in the Dragon Mountains which will lose its effect within 1 day after being collected. He proceeds to collect the herb and give to Magic, curing her, but then making her catch a cold shortly afterwards by having sex.

Magic joins Rance's party and starts residing in Rance Castle thereafter.

At some point she became pregnant with Rance's child.
