Guideau is one of the main characters in *The Witch and the Beast*. She looks like a young girl, but she was actually once a man who fell victim to a witch’s curse. Because of this, she holds a deep hatred for witches, especially Angela Anne Huell, who cast the curse on her. Guideau starts her journey seeking revenge and meets Ashaf. They team up to hunt witches, and their partnership, first based on mutual benefit, gradually shifts to one of trust and close teamwork. Guideau is rough and wild, but also surprisingly logical and practical. She enjoys trying on stylish clothes and hairdos prepared by Ashaf. There are secrets about Guideau’s real body and the nature of her curse, making her a mysterious figure with incredible strength.
Guideau usually appears as a young girl with wild, beast-like eyes and a sharp mouth. Even though her expression and manner seem fierce, she often wears stylish clothes and different hairstyles, thanks to Ashaf. Guideau’s real body, however, is that of a muscular warrior with wild eyes and sharp fangs. When the curse is temporarily lifted, her true self emerges from a coffin.
Guideau comes off as rough, blunt, and quick to anger. She speaks crudely and doesn’t care much for politeness. Even so, she is logical, avoiding anything pointless. She has a strong grudge against witches, especially Angela Anne Huell. Even with her tough attitude, Guideau can enjoy fashion and different looks when out with Ashaf.
Guideau was originally a man, but a witch’s curse turned her into a girl. This witch, Angela Anne Huell, is the person Guideau most wants revenge on. The search to break the curse and get back at Angela brings Guideau into the wider world and to her partnership with Ashaf. There’s also a twist: the girl’s body she now has is not just anyone’s—it might be the original, immortal body of the witch Angela. This body should be over 200 years old, yet it doesn’t decay, which remains a mystery. Guideau’s real body exists somewhere else, and only through a witch’s kiss can she temporarily return to her original form.
Guideau in her true form has amazing strength and power.
- She can defeat enemies with a single punch.
- She can stand up against powerful magic, like spells cast by Ione, without flinching.
- Even the slash from the Demon Sword Ashgan, which could cut a castle in half, can only leave a shallow wound.
Her left hand is already very strong, but it is hinted that even greater power is hidden in her right hand.
Cursed by a Witch
Guideau’s life changed when she was cursed by Angela Anne Huell, turning her from a man into a girl. Angry and desperate to return to her original self, she sets off on a journey for revenge.
Meeting Ashaf
While traveling the world, Guideau meets Ashaf. They discover a common goal: finding witches. Their mutual interest leads them to partner up. At first, their relationship is just give-and-take, but over time, they build trust and become real partners.
The Mystery of the Body
Guideau’s current body is actually the body of a witch. There is a hint that it is the very first, “eternal” body of Angela Anne Huell. However, it is strange that the body doesn’t age or decay, even though it should be over 200 years old. The real Guideau’s body is sealed away and can only appear when the curse is lifted for a short time with a witch’s kiss—opening the coffin to set Guideau free.
Unleashing Her Power
Whenever Guideau’s curse is broken, her true, monstrous strength shows. Her wild, powerful form is something most enemies can’t stand up to. She quickly defeats opponents with her left hand. There’s a mystery about her right hand, hinting at power even more fearsome than what has been revealed so far.
- Guideau enjoys dressing up in stylish clothes and trying new hairstyles, usually helped by Ashaf.
- She is usually logical and avoids unnecessary things, even though her speech and attitude can be rude or wild.
- She has only ever used her left hand in battle, with her right hand’s true power being a secret.
