Louise de La Vallière

LOUISE FRANCOISE Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière is the main character of the story. She is the third daughter of an aristocratic family, well known in Tristania, her kingdom. She is attending classes in the Tristania Academy of Magic, where she is known as the "Zero Louise" due to her zero success rate at spell casting and lack of any elemental affinities, a nickname acquired even before the first episode. Louise is lonely in school, as her family rival for centuries Kirche Zerbst bully her every opportunity she finds as well as other students tormenting her, but despite that fact, she endures strongly and pursues her improvement constantly to prove that she is not a Zero Louise.

Her poor magical ability is due to her dot alignment to void magic, a branch of magic which only four people can currently use, with the the last known user before them being from millenia ago, because of the branch's rarity the Academy does not have the ability to properly train Louise in it's use unlike other students who can learn of their magics from teachers who share their alignments. Void magic itself seems to be mostly capable of only destruction, any attempts to use it for anything else will result in an explosion. She has been known however to be able to do relatively simple spells, but use of her void magic requires a certain amount of time to build up before use.

 She is very fond of her elder sister Cattleya de la Vallière, which she looks up to, but fears her oldest sister Eleanor, who is strict and always tells her to drop magic and get married to a fine Noble. As for her relationship with her familiar, Saito, she literally treats him like a dog, as she hates him and is ashamed of him at first. She thinks of him as a failure of her magical aptitude. Every chance she gets, she punishes him when he disobeys, but as the story develops, she starts realizing that she cares about him not only as a familiar bounded to protect and be protected, but she starts to develop feelings for him. The more her feelings develop, the more she gets jealous of other girls and want to spend more time with him, she can also get jealous when faced with girl's more developed then her, which includes almost every girl she meets.

As a Noble, Louise defends her honor as a benevolent and "superior" person, like other Nobles. She states that is her responsibility as a noble, to make sure her highness the princess is safe and that her familiar's well being. Louise is a very stubborn girl. But, as Henrietta mentions, her heart is pure. Louise is also very persistent.

Louise has distinctive pink hair and eyes, and wears her school uniform most of the show. She is 153.5 cm tall at the start of the series (5 feet) and grows to 157 cm (5'2") at the end. Her weight remains unknown. Louise is fond of knitting although she is not good at it.
