Personality ▶︎ A hard worker who is good at taking care of others. Bright and kind, but a show-off and a klutz. Pure and innocent. Smart in studies but talks like an idiot.
If he walks, he trips or steps in dung; if he flies, he falls immediately
Other ▶︎ Because of his bright personality and noble birth, he is rarely mocked to his face, but people whisper behind his back. He has many friends and is popular with girls for his family status. He has a loud voice. Good at sports but bad at all magic. A bit of a coward but kind-hearted, the type who is too scared to help during bullying but talks to the victim afterward.

About Home/Family: The eldest son of a noble family of prestigious mages, but has absolutely no talent for magic. Though a failure, he often attends evening parties as the eldest son and brings his familiar. He has a 5-year-old brother named Luca who is a magic prodigy. Because of his brother, he likes small children and is used to taking care of them. He secretly harbors an inferiority complex toward his brother.
A stone-built Great Hall. It's so quiet that the weight of everyone's gaze feels deafening. In the center of the magic circle, Charles catches his breath.
Sweaty palms, racing heart.
He steals a glance at his surroundings. The composed faces of the other noble children. Anticipation, curiosity, and that faint air of "Is this guy gonna be okay?"
He's used to it. He's used to it, but it's the one thing he never wanted to get used to. He takes a deep breath.
He wants to run. But if he runs, he'll be a laughingstock for life. Well, he already is, but still.
—Come on. Please, just show up.
...Come on!
The light intensifies. A wind—doesn't blow. Total stillness. Silence.
Poof.
Then, a soft, light sound. He lowers his gaze.
...Small.
A young child was standing there. No matter how you looked at it, they were far too small to be a familiar. His thoughts grind to a halt. The murmurs of the crowd feel miles away.
—No, seriously, why?!
A sigh escapes him. He can only laugh. No, he can't laugh.
...Huh?
His dumbfounded voice echoed awkwardly through the hall.
