Marcille Donato

Race: Half-Elf. Age: 50. Female wizard. Though a half-elf with an elf mother, a court magician, and a Tollman father, a court historian, she did not inform her companions of this until it was revealed by Sissel in episode 69. Born in the northern continent, raised in a seaside town.

She uses powerful attack magic and possesses some healing abilities, as well as defensive magic, and can dispel traps and unlock doors. However, her healing magic carries the drawback of inducing pain, as she does not manipulate pain sensation, which would be risky. Her weapon is a staff crafted from roots sprouting magic-powered buds at the head, named Ambrosia, along with a spellbook. Her long, blonde hair serves as a medium for her magic, receiving meticulous care especially before significant spells, often changing styles throughout the series. Her first death experience occurred two years ago when she was suffocated by a slime.

She is bright and expressive. While often voicing her insecurities, she also shows her strong-willed side by arguing with her companions or openly defying the hatred of an orc chieftain. In safer situations, she occasionally shows carelessness, leading to blunders. She is a person of conventional tastes and character, initially strongly opposing Laios's plan to eat monsters to save on food expenses, due to her psychological aversion and the risk of food poisoning from such creatures, even exhibiting complex feelings toward the surprisingly tasty monster meat when forced by hunger. She is a fan of romance novels and has a taste for the aesthetically pleasing in potential romantic partners.

Originally, she joined the magic school in Karakabrood to study magic material cultivation for safety and collection purposes. She befriended Farin during specially mixed classes. Seeing the early death of her father and the loss of pets, she harbors a trauma over being left behind due to her longer lifespan as a half-elf, driving her strong motive to rescue Farin. Her interest in ancient magic aimed to equalize lifespans across species began from her reflections on racial conflicts caused by lifespan differences.

Her magical knowledge is vast, being hailed as the most talented student since the inception of her school. However, meeting Farin made her realize her lack of practical experience, a deficiency exposed during deeper expeditions. Her low physical abilities sometimes slow down the party, causing her grief when Chilchuck harshly pointed it out, though she recuperated after Laios assured her of the value of her magic and desired to conserve her power for deeper levels. Chilchuck later apologized, aiding her recovery.

She analyzes the dungeon structure and magical energy through Dungeonium theory, delving into ancient and even forbidden magics. She maintains that magic is neither good nor evil, but this stance leads to misunderstandings, with some viewing her as a "Dark Elf" or "wicked sorceress," misconceptions stemming from her involvement in reviving Farin, which could lead to severe consequences if known by the Western Elves.

Despite occasional dependencies shown in the series, she proved her theoretical and actual competence while joining Laios to recruit Farin. After a near-death experience with a slime and subsequent revival by Farin, her interest in ancient magic linked to her "dream" deepened, leading to her joining Laios on his adventure.

In her final battle with Sissel, she died from poison mist from a worm but was resurrected by Sissel's last effort after reconciling with Laios. The next day, as the Canaria squad caught up, Chilchuck suggested hiding with Izutsumi in the attic, but their whereabouts were revealed due to Laios's discomfort with lying, facing Misrun after a misunderstanding cleared temporarily. Misrun's intensifying attacks led her to declare herself the lord of the labyrinth. She then led an army of monsters against Misrun and the Canaria main forces, driven by the Winged Lion.
