Kirche

Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt-Zerbst (Japanese: キュルケ Kyuruke, Pronunciation: /kɪrke aʊgʊstə frɛdɛrika fɔn anhalt tsɛrbst/ or /kɪrxɛ aʊgʊsta frɛdɛrika fɔn anhalt tsɛrbst/) is a triangle fire mage and Louise's main rival at the Academy and Tabitha's best friend

Appearance
Kirche is a tall, ravishing, seductive girl in her late teens. She has a brown complexion, long red hair, and a colossal bust, possibly one of the biggest in the series coming 2nd to Tiffa. She always wears makeup and dark red lipstick. She flaunts her good looks everywhere she goes.

Kirche wears many outfits in the series but is mostly in the Magic Academy school uniform, which she has made alterations to. She wears thigh high brown boots, a black skirt and a white shirt with a black raiment. She wears her shirt collar up and has the shirt opened, nearly exposing her seductive curves and breasts.

Personality
Kirche is vain, seductive, manipulative, boastful, and prideful. She loves to be center attention, especially from boys and men alike. She is also the main rival to Louise. She would mostly tease and look down on Louise, commenting on her childish body and that she struggled with even basic magic in the early years in the Academy.

But beneath her seductive and carefree attitude, she has a caring side. She cares for others around her and their well being, especially Tabitha.

She hates it when other girls get more attention from males, especially if its Louise herself, throwing a bit of a jealous tantrum which Tabitha usually mutes her voice without realizing.

Background
Kirche is the daughter of a Germanian military family, but her carefree attitude became a nuisance to them and was forced to marry an "old geezer" (bin her own words) as a way to restrain her. The plan failed, though, and she was consequently transferred to the Academy, where she met and befriended Tabitha after an incident where several students attempted to trick them into fighting each other. She is also an adept fire mage and was able to summon a Fire Salamander.

Summary
At the beginning of the series, Kirche was Louise's chief rival and tormentor at the Academy. This was mostly due to their family's rivalry though their own natural differences played a role as well. Ironically, it was Kirche's taunts that gave Louise the determination to summon a proper familiar.

Trivia
Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst's name comes from Sophia Augusta Fredericka von Anhalt-Zerbst, also known as Catherine the Great (1729 – 1796), Empress of Russia.

Early on Kirche also gave herself a number of titles; these included:
 * the Ardent
 * the Passionate
 * the Fervent
