Risuka Mizukura


Risuka Mizukura (水倉(みずくら) りすか, Mizukura Risuka), also known as the Red Witch of Time ((あか)(とき)魔女(まじょ), Akaki Toki no Majo) is the titular main heroine of the Risuka Series. She is a magician located in the Saga Prefecture, working with Kizutaka Kugi to find her missing father, the great magician Shingo Mizukura.

Personality[]

Due to her origins as a magician from Nagasaki, Risuka is seen as odd and eccentric from the perspective of outsiders. Her unique way of speaking is one of her most recognizable traits, as she speaks the unique dialect developed by the magicians of Nagasaki, which is likened to "badly translated German" by Kizutaka, due to the inversion of the subject and predicate. As such, she finds it hard to communicate more complex ideas to others, mostly talking in short sentences. Risuka's goal is to locate her father, as well as to punish those that learn and misuse magic on the outside along the way. Even so, she enjoys spending time at home more, her hobbies being watching Sumo wrestling and copying down magical tomes by hand, translating them to Japanese. She understands Kizutaka's manipulative personality and his goals, and yet still considers him a friend, having fun with the boy.

Upon turning into an adult, Risuka's personality changes completely, becoming assertive, domineering and arrogant, likening herself to a goddess, a demeanour that is said by Kizutaka to be an inherent part of her self, never changing no matter how much the future is altered. At the age of 27, she overcomes her difficulties speaking standard Japanese, becoming capable of communicating perfectly. She mocks her human opponents, flaunting her inherent talent and abilities, and stating that effort is reserved only for those born inferior. In this form, she is much more reckless and seeks to have as much fun as possible in the short time she has before turning back into her child self. She offers Kizutaka a kiss before turning back, although the boy refuses. The young Risuka states that she doesn't want to grow up since everyone becomes boring to her in that state, even her father. Neither as a grown-up nor as a child does Risuka show any kind of hesitation in killing the outsiders who misuse magic.

Appearance[]

Risuka design

Risuka is a ten-year-old girl with big red eyes and long, messy and curly crimson hair tied in two buns, with voluminous twintails sprouting out of them, and messy bangs covering her forehead. She is always shown wearing her eccentric red outfit, consisting of a lace collar with a ribbon tied around it, a tank top showing her stomach, short shorts with leather straps that connect them with her thigh high stockings, and finally, pointy leather shoes. Additionally, she also wears red gloves on her arms, a pair of metal handcuffs with both cuffs closed around her left arm, leather straps all over her arms and a leather knife holster around her waist. When going outside, she also wears an oversized red witch's hat.

When in her adult state, she grows to be a tall woman with broad shoulders and large breasts, the witch's hat thus becoming a perfect fit. She is shown wearing a slightly different outfit, though still reminiscent of her fashion as a child. The top of her red skin-tight outfit has a collar portion with a metallic ring attached to it and leather straps wrapped around her armpits. It connects to the bottom of her outfit through a thin segment of fabric on her chest, in between her breasts, which connects to the rest of her corset-like outfit, featuring many metallic spikes all over it. Below a leather belt, the bottom of her revealing outfit is similar to a leotard, decorated with many leather straps. Tied to it with straps are also her thigh high stockings, which look more like pant legs, being much puffier. She still has her knife holster, leather straps on her arms, handcuffs and leather gloves, though, in this form, the gloves are longer, reaching her elbows.

Background[]

Risuka was born beyond the Gate, in the Kingdom of Magic, the Nagasaki Prefecture, in the city of Moriyashiki, a magical town with a reputation as great as the Kingdom's capital. She is the daughter of Shingo Mizukura, known as the great magician Nyarlathotep, who imparted on her his magical knowledge and infused her blood with Magical Formulas, leading to her great magical ability. Due to her great talent, she obtained a Second Grade Magic Technician's license, despite being of such a young age. After her father went missing outside the Gate, Risuka, alongside her manservant, Chamberlain, began travelling throughout Japan to find him, eventually arriving at Kizuna Town of the Saga Prefecture, where she met Kizutaka Kugi.

Abilities[]

Magic: Risuka is a magic-user. Her magic's Element is water, its Type is time and its Manifestation is Moment. By shedding her blood, Risuka can change "fast-forward" her life, changing her appearance and healing her. For a single minute, after shedding a lot of blood, Risuka can take her "prime" form of a 27-year-old woman, when her magic casting and fighting are at peak condition.
