May Riddell Archelot (メイ・リデル・アーシェロット, Mei Rideru Āsherotto?) is a character in Mahou Tsukai no Yoru.

Profile[]

Background[]

Riddell is Alice Kuonji's rival and childhood friend. Her and Tobimaru Tsukiji's father are business partners and friends, when she was young she was living in the Tsukiji mansion. Currently she is an idol singer who has travelled around the world.[2] Lugh Beowulf calls her a descendent of the Soot Witches (煤の魔女, Susu no Majo ?) that sprang up in the shadow of the Industrial Revolution.[2]

She is acquainted with Soujuurou Shizuki by unknown means and is known by the Holy Church.[2]

She named Alice's Ploys when they were young.[3]

Riddell is a part of the Department of Botany at the Clock Tower. Her family, the Archelot, is the Lord family for Botany.[4]

Appearance[]

Personality[]

She has an eccentric personality.

Role[]

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru[]

She is introduced in the extra side story Potete dormire, ma nessun rida (Localized as "Anyone Can Sleep, But Not Laugh"), which takes place approximately a year after the main story of Mahou Tsukai no Yoru.[2]

Abilities[]

Riddell uses General Black Magic, specifically Modern Black Magic (近代黒魔術, Kindai Kuro Majutsu?), the System derived from it.[1] One of her main spells is Goblin Nest (ゴブリンフロン?), whose exact nature is unknown, but has been shown to have various examples: she managed to "avoid" rain drops to the point of not getting wet when she was entering the mansion, used a Goblin to also prevent an helicopter from suffering any kind of turbulence due the rain, and despite the phone line being cut off for everyone due to Sweets Hearts' actions, she was still able to call her father twice, and send her coordinates to a military helicopter.[2]

She apparently has an ability to exploit Lugh Beowulf's weakness, although Beo later says that this weakness is fake.[2]

Development[]

Conception and creation[]

Given her relationship with Alice, her middle name likely comes from Alice LiddellWP, the real girl who Alice in Wonderland was based on.

    Nasu's comment: A character that I don't have much to say about. Of course it's natural since she showed up in the extra chapter "You absolutely can't laugh in the Kuonji Mansion" which happens in the fall after Aoko and the others became third year students. What happened in Misaki city and the Kuonji mansion between January and August, right now I can't talk about it. Either way, when I gave Mr. Koyama an order to come up with a girl that would look good in Hot Pink, he came up with the ideal type in one shot. When she is added to the regular cast those extraordinarily noisy days will become an everyday occurrence.

    Koyama's comment: Pink. She made a sudden appearance in the extra chapter. Her initial concept was similar to a Vocaloid, singing with twin tails and knee high socks. She is a character with mood swings who has a lot of extreme ups and downs. According to a certain reliable source, from now on she will have live show scenes, so I hope you don't mind. I came up with her design relatively early on, so I'm sure there's a setting where she removes her jacket or something. There's something of a gap between her droopy eyes and her strong willed words and actions. There sure are a lot of female characters with harsh words and actions aren't there?

    多くは語れないキャラ。番外編で当然のように出てくるが、「絶対に笑ってはいけない久遠寺邸」は青子たちが三年生になってから秋の話。1月か ら8月までの間、三咲町と久遠寺邸に何があったか、今は語る事ができない。 とにかくショッキングピンクの似合う女の子、というオーダーをこやま氏にお願いしたところ、ほぼ一発で理想型がでてきました。彼女を加えた レギュラーキャラが揃うと番外編のような騒がしい日々が日常になる。

    ピンク。おまけシナリオのみの唐突な登場。ツインテニーソで唄うたいという、何そのボーカロイドっていう初期コンセプト。躁鬱という設定で 浮き沈みの激しいキャラです。今後ライブシーンあるよとか偉い人が言うんですけど勘弁して欲しいです。割と初期段階で考えたデザインなので 上着脱いだ設定とかしっかりありますね。ややたれ目気味ですが気の強い言動というギャップを少々。つか言動のきつい女性キャラ多くないですか。
