Kirsche

Kirsche Pintail ( キルシュ・ピンテール, Kirushu Pintēru) is a Fire Mage in Magical Vacation, and student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy.

Personality
Kirsche is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to athletics, but is a master of none. He'll challenge someone, then rematch them over and over until he is the victor due to his stubborn and hot-headed nature. When his opponent finally gives in, he'll brag by saying "I won at last!" as if he were never defeated in the first place. Kirsche's academics aren't spectacular, but he'll be happy if he gets a least 1 right answer on a test.

He is close friends with Sesame and Arancia (the latter secretly being in love with him). He is oblivious to this however, and is too infatuated with Candy to notice. Sesame idolizes him greatly, so he calls Kirsche "aniki".

Appearance
Kirsche has spiky blonde hair that's tied up in the back, thick eyebrows, and teal eyes. His expressions are very accentuated, such as stern frowns when he's serious or toothy grins when he's excited.

He wears a red gi lined in purple fabric with a blue hood attached, and an olive green undershirt. On his wrist are cuffs with colours that compliment his gi. And below his torso, Kirsche wears baggy red pants and olive green slipons.

Prologue
Before the Valencia Seaside School begins, Kirsche is outside Will-o'-Wisp alongside Sesame. As each classmate is being introduced, Kirsche doesn't know when to shut up, which gets him electrocuted by Lemon. His extroversion turns into awkwardness when Candy passes by, making him more fired up than ever.

In the school's Zen Room, he waits for the Magic Bus with the protagonist, Blueberry, Lemon, Pistachio and Sesame. He does his best to motivate Pistachio, who is worried that he'll be kicked out of the school if he continues to fail. Kirsche promises to train the Vox, then is caught off guard when Candy enters the room. Lemon jokingly states that if the Candy is his opponent, she'll have nothing to worry about.

Kirsche's motivation is heightened further when Candy says that her resolution is to confess her love to a boy, and Sesame is more than ready to back up his big bro. However, his awkwardness comes out when Candy assumes that Kirsche wants to ask Arancia out, given that they were friends since childhood. He leaves for the bus in a fit of rage.

At Valencia Beach, he tells the protagonist that pirates buried there treasure somewhere by the coast. When talking to Arancia, she gets upset over Kirsche's love for Candy. This is because he promised to marry Arancia when they were kids, but she's worried he forgot about it entirely.

Light Realm
After tragedy strikes the students, Kirsche manages to reunite with Arancia in Mimolette Forest. They walk through Forest Cave together and eventually stumble upon the protagonist and Pistachio, who are face-to-face with an Enigma disguised as Arancia. As a group of four, they expose the Enigma named Volcanera and almost defeat him. Unfortunately, he warps off somewhere else and takes Kirsche with him. Volcanera threatens to fuse with the Fire Mage in order to utilize his power.

The protagonist and company exit Forest Cave and end up in Toruna Village. To their delight, Ganache is there too. He figures out that the Enigmas wanted to wear the students out in the Light Realm instead of fusing with them on the spot. That way, their hearts would be vulnerable to darkness; a slow and dreadful form of psychological torment.

In a nearby house, a Travelling Putty cries for help and says that there's a noise coming from underground. The party investigates the Konjac's house where there is a tunnel leading to the Forest Cave. They travel to its deepest reaches to see Kirsche being tormented by Volcanera. Ganache tries to bargain with the Enigma by offering himself as a host instead, but kills him with a spell at the last second.

With Kirsche free from further harm, he joins the party as their Fire elemental.

Epilogue
"After travelling the world, Kirsche returned to become an instructor at Will-o'-Wisp."
