Ganache

"A boy who uses dark magic. He doesn't really like talking."

Ganache Nighthawk is a party member in Magical Vacation and a student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy. He and his older sister, Vanilla, are descendants of necromancers who lived in a province outside the Kingdom of Kovomaka, and inherited their dark magic.

Party member
Ganache is the third classmate to be recruited by the party, joining in Oturan Village. However, he permanently leaves after the snowhair is defeated at Wetsomus Ruins. His initial levels are level 4 and magic level 3.

His element is dark, represented by the spirit Inky. Its spells are super-effective against most elements, and have a chance to absorb enemies' magic points.

Personality
Ganache mostly keeps to himself, only ever socializing with a few people. He puts most of his faith in Olive, who can understand his emotions with her telepathic power. Ganache starts to develop very obsessive behavior and acts irrationally as the game progresses, which becomes worse with every ounce of knowledge regarding the Enigmas, Will-o'-Wisp's secrets, and the disappearance of Vanilla.

Backstory
When Ganache was 9 years-old, he and a group of magicians were ordered by the kingdom to protect a rural village from violent trolls. It took them three days to eradicate the monsters, but peace returned to the town once they were all dealt with. One of the villagers, a young girl named Candy, was inspired by the magicians' work and wanted to become powerful sorceress herself.

Three years later, Ganache got accepted into Will-o'-Wisp Academy and encountered Candy, who was still adamant about mastering her Wind Magic. Upon realizing that Ganache was one of the kingdom's magicians from her childhood, Candy immediately fell in love. The young Darkness mage would struggle to keep Candy off his back after their reunion, as she wanted to follow him everywhere and gain his affection.

Magical Starsign
In Chocomilk Caves on Shadra, the party could talk to a boy named Diecast, who asked if they were from Kovomaka. If they answered "No", Diecast named Kovomakan magicians who earned it the title of the magic planet, two of whom were Ganache and Vanilla. The character Carbon also bore a striking resemblance to Ganache.

Trivia

 * His name comes from 'ganache', a blend of chocolate and cream used for pastry filling.
 * His favorite food is tempura. He used to eat it with ketchup until Lemon said it made him smell like a commoner, so he now eats it with mayonnaise.
 * According some Twitter posts made by the game's scenario writer, Nobuyuki Inoue, Ganache was supposed to die at the end of the game. However, Inoue decided against it after hearing the songs Tsukasa Masuko had composed for the final scenes, which convinced him to keep Ganache alive.
