- "An anxious boy. Everyone says he has a strangely old-fashioned vibe."
Pistachio Maplewood is a party member in Magical Vacation. He is a lively yet cautious canin who uses wood magic, and is a student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy.
Party member[edit | edit source]
Pistachio is the first classmate to be recruited by the protagonist, joining in Mimolette Forest. His initial levels are level 1 and magic level 2.
His element is wood, represented by the spirit Sticky. Its spells, although weaker than other elements, can make enemies more vulnerable to magic damage by debuffing spirit.
Level 1 stats[edit | edit source]
From levels 1 through 39, Pistachio only earns 1 bonus stat point when leveling up, and it always goes into agility.

Special power[edit | edit source]
Pistachio's special power lets him retrieve three gummy frogs when drinking from an HP Pot for the first time. Frogs obtained this way will not count towards the report card, thereby not affecting the appearance of dark spirits or the rejection of love spirits. The frogs' color is determined by the report card grade.
Profile[edit | edit source]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Pistachio is very worrisome and seems to have an inferiority complex. He constantly puts himself down, openly frets about his grades, and is deeply concerned over the well-being of others. He is also known for his cowardly nature and tendency to panic in the face of danger. Despite his disappointment with himself, Pistachio takes pride in his fluffy ears and tail. In the original Japanese version of Magical Vacation, he ends most of his sentences with a verbal tic, っぴ ppi, and his dialogue is written in messy hiragana when he feels discouraged or excited. He also speaks informally, using slang words such as オイラ oira instead of 俺は ore wa (I am).
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Pistachio's eyes are navy blue, and his fur is brown and scruffy. Since his green trousers are too big for his legs, he wears them as a hat instead.[1] His baggy robes are of the same color and also have identical stitching on the sleeves' cuffs. Tied around his neck is a red scarf with yellow polka dots, and he wears big green shoes.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Pistachio hailed from a small village where all the townsfolk knew his name, as he was famous for his abilities to read unopened envelopes, bend spoons with his mind, and make acorns fall out of thin air. Locals called his magic the work of a god, and word eventually reached Principal Biscotti, who scouted out Pistachio and invited him to enroll in Will-o'-Wisp Academy. The whole village said their good-byes to Pistachio as he and Biscotti left for the academy dormitory, throwing a celebratory party in his name. Freshly enrolled at Will-o'-Wisp, a conceited Pistachio started out as somewhat of a bully, but was quickly humbled when he realized he was the worst magician in his class. Pistachio tried to keep his failure secret from his parents, though they found out right away, and have insisted that he come home to take over the family business.[2]

Return to the Kingdom[edit | edit source]
Pistachio continued to study hard, and after earning a doctorate from the Magic Academy, wrote several books to propagate magic far beyond the continent.
Magical Starsign[edit | edit source]
Although he did not make a physical appearance in Magical Starsign, Pistachio was mentioned to be a professor at Will-o'-Wisp Academy by some students in his class, all of whom were given detention by him. The students blamed their detentions on Professor Pistachio for having a strict and unfair teaching style. In Japanese, a student named Jonesy commented on his annoying "ppi" tic and cowardly nature as seen in Magical Vacation.[3] In the English localization, however, this was changed to him having an evil laugh, even referring to him as a villain.[4]
A student named Russel also got in trouble with Professor Pistachio. In Japanese, he was given detention because he failed an assignment, complaining that it was unreasonable because Pistachio did not provide any examples.[5] In English, Pistachio punished Russel for not finishing his "hexonomics homework," which he found unfair for the same reason.[6]
Pistachio's name was brought up again by a boy named Diecast in Chocomilk Caves on the planet Shadra. According to Diecast, Pistachio and many others from Kovomaka were wizards of legend, which earned it the title of "the magic planet."[7]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- His hobby is reading.
- Donuts are his favorite food.[1]
- By level 999, Pistachio has the highest average stats of every party member.
- In the Japanese version of Magical Starsign, some of Pistachio's students are named after the Jack Russell Terrier dog breed. Jonesy is Jack (ジャック Jakku), Russell's name was unchanged (ラッセル Rasseru), and Terria is Terrier (テリア Teria).
Nomenclature[edit | edit source]
His name comes from pistachio, drupes encased in hard white seeds.

The villagers called his magic of reading letters within envelopes, bending spoons, and making acorns fall from places without trees the "work of a god." Word reached the ears of the Magic Academy's headmaster, who scouted him out. When they departed for the Magic Academy's dormitories, the whole village threw a grand party. Upon entering the academy, Pistachio was a bit of a show-off and a jerk, but things quickly turned around. Pistachio was the worst magician in his class. For a while, Pistachio kept it hidden from his family, though they found out right away. Since then, his parents in his hometown have been adamant that he come home as soon as possible and take over the family business." [1]. Archived: [2]. Retrieved August 9, 2024. Nintendo.co.jp.
