Summary
Qifrey is a male witch born on November 19, distinguished by his white hair and a light blue left eye. As a Witch Master affiliated with the Pointed Cap Witches, he resides at and operates his own Atelier. He specializes in Water Magic and serves as the master to Coco, while also mentoring three other apprentices. Having been a former apprentice of Beldaruit himself, Qifrey is known as a caring and patient instructor who respects the individuality of his students. He is particularly dedicated to Coco, encouraging her relentlessly until she masters her magical abilities despite her initial lack of special talent. He is fiercely protective of his disciples, having shielded them from capture by Easthies and the Knights Moralis. Beneath his gentle exterior, however, lies a deep-seated obsession with finding the Brimmed Caps, a goal that occasionally casts a shadow of resentment over his demeanor. This grudge was the primary motivation for taking Coco on as an apprentice, as she provided a reliable lead to his objective. This hidden facet contrasts with the light-hearted personality he displays to his pupils and colleagues. Interestingly, Qifrey is actually afraid of water and dislikes being wet, having learned to manipulate it specifically to conquer his fear. According to a sketch by Shirahama Kamome, he has a high tolerance for alcohol, becoming tipsy but remaining vigilant. He refers to himself using the Japanese male pronoun 僕 (boku).
