About this title

Synopsis

Ever since she was young, Eva Ushiromiya has worked tirelessly to prove herself as the ideal successor to the Ushiromiya family headship. Despite facing endless discrimination as a woman, she is determined to overcome the odds and surpass her older brother Krauss, who is set to inherit the position by way of birthright. An opportunity to realize her dream comes at the annual conference on the island of Rokkenjima. With the announcement of the epitaph's riddle, Eva believes that finding the hidden gold will force the rest of the family members to acknowledge her. However, as the adults of the Ushiromiya family decipher the puzzle, a string of unexplained murders ensues, forewarning the unfortunate fate that awaits them in the end. Meanwhile, the game board between the Golden Witch Beatrice and Battler Ushiromiya commences once more—bringing new yet unlikely accomplices to participate in the duel. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Age: 1000+ Birthday: 29 November Blood Type: O Likes: Ice cream, black tea, Dislikes: Boredom, The Golden Witch and Endless Witch, and arguably the primary antagonist of the series. She is affectionately referred to as "Beato." She first appears in the "Tea Party" of Legend of the Golden Witch, where she confronts Battler over his refusal to accept that his friends and family were killed by magic, and challenges him to a game in which he must prove otherwise from Turn of the Golden Witch onward. A witch who has lived for over a thousand years, she is said to appear as a cloud of golden butterflies, and has the power to summon higher demons among the seventy-two pillars to serve her. It is said that humans can summon her to have their wishes granted in exchange for compensation, though she often acts whimsically. She is the one rumored to have given Kinzou ten tons of gold and served under him as the alchemic advisor to the Ushiromiya family. (Source: 07th Expansion Wiki)

Birthdate: July 15, 1968 Horoscope: Cancer Blood type: O Likes: mystery novels Dislikes: high places, vehicles Battler is the eighteen-year-old son of Rudolf and his first wife Asumu, and is generally considered to be the main protagonist of the series. He is extremely stubborn, and is afraid of "shaky" transportation, fearing he might fall off a boat. At first glance, he appears to be hotheaded, cocky, and even a little perverted (given the fact that he tries to grope young ladies and even his cousin Jessica several times). However, he has a heart of gold he isn't afraid to show when the situation calls for it. Battler is also an extremely rational young man, and has an extreme talent for deductive reasoning and thinking outside the box, described as "flipping the chessboard" so that he may be able to predict the moves and motives of his opponents. Because of this, he does not believe in witches or magic. This causes some conflict with his cousin Maria, who has immersed herself in studies of the occult and believes strongly in witches, especially the Golden Witch Beatrice.

Birthday: 21 October Blood Type: A Likes: Hideyoshi, George, martial arts, cooking Dislikes: All reptiles but especially snakes, smoking Kinzo's second child. Under normal circumstances, she would have lost her place in the Ushiromiya family when she married, though she managed to retain her name on the family register when she had her husband Hideyoshi adopted into the family and gave birth to Kinzo's first grandchild, George. Eva is cheerful and mischievous, but also sinister and greedy. She is hostile towards her older brother Krauss, and rallies the other siblings against him in their fight for the family inheritance. She also looks down on Krauss's wife Natsuhi for not being related to the Ushiromiya family by blood. Because she believes George to be the rightful head of the Ushiromiya family, she is cruel towards the servant Shannon, as she suspects her of being his lover. Despite her insidious personality, however, she treasures her husband and son more than anything, but fears that she is too domineering towards them. She is skilled in various martial arts, and said to be excellent at cooking. (Source: 07th Expansion Wiki)

Birthday: 21 October Blood Type: A Likes: Hideyoshi, George, martial arts, cooking Dislikes: All reptiles but especially snakes, smoking A witch who resides within Eva's heart. She represents all of Eva's dark desires from her childhood, including her greed for the Ushiromiya family inheritance; as such, she has the appearance of Eva as a young girl. She first appears in Banquet of the Golden Witch, where she helps Eva solve the riddle of Beatrice's epitaph, leading to her discovery of Kinzo's hidden gold and her inheritance of the Ushiromiya family. As stipulated in the epitaph, Eva inherits the name "Beatrice" and is granted the titles of Golden and Endless Witch, with Lambdadelta as her guardian. Eva-Beatrice is described by Ange as a "black witch," meaning she manipulates others through anger and hatred. In many ways, she is even crueler than the original Beatrice, using her Endless Magic to "play" with her victims by killing them in bizarre ways (drowning in a sea of jelly, crushing under a mountain of cake) before resurrecting them and killing them again, repeating the cycle until she tires. She is most likely the manifestation of all the Eva culprit theories similar to how Black Battler is the manifestation of all the Battler Culprit theories. She is very mocking of others, repeatedly taunting them by saying, "Heso demo kande shinjaebā?" (ヘソでも噛んで死んじゃえばぁ??, lit. "Why don't you bite at your belly button and die?").
