Kelpie is a fairy who has known Lydia Ashenbert for a long time. Although he has a rough personality, he is kind to Lydia. He followed her all the way to London and has stayed by her side ever since. Usually, Kelpie looks like a tall, handsome young man with black curly hair, but his true form is a wild water horse that can lure people into the water and eat them, leaving only their liver. "Kelpie" is a word for water horse, so he doesn't have a real name. Even though he is one of the dark fairies and once saw humans as food, his life changed after meeting Lydia. While Kelpie is strongly protective of Lydia and wants to stay with her, he cares little for other humans. Over time, he has also grown to help Ermine, looking after her and even granting her last wish. After Lydia has her child, Kelpie continues to watch over her and even looks after her son, Alvin, though the child is a little afraid of him.
