Ottilie Fohkelpi

Appearance
Ottilie has red hair worn in curly pigtails adorned with black and purple butterfly hairclips and a black hair ribbon going across the top of her head, and has green eyes. Ottlie's eyes turn red when she activates her "Genocide Arts". She wears a white coat with black cuffs and a collar and dark yellow lining. A light gray button-up shirt, a red ascot tie, and dark yellow lining, a brown leather sword belt with a dark yellow belt buckle, white shorts with dark yellow knee braces, black knee-high socks, and black high-heeled shoes with dark yellow shin guards.

Web Novel version
Her personality could be described as borderline psychopathic.

Light Novel version
Similar to the Web Novel, Ottilie remains completely smitten by Henrietta, but her personality is far more stable by comparison. She is almost shameless in how strong she is attracted to Henrietta. When Flum and Milkit find Ottilie messing around with Henrietta’s bedsheets, she doesn’t bother to hide it.

She is kinder and more respectful as demonstrated in her introduction in both the Light Novel and the Manga where she bows before Flum out of respect for her being one of the seven chosen heroes.

History
Not too much is known about Ottilie‘s background other than that she was childhood friends with Henriette, and she became devoted to her. She joined the Royal Army because of Henriette and rose up in the ranks to be her right hand woman.

In Volume 02, it is revealed she escorted Flum to the Royal Capital after Flum was selected to be one of the seven heroes for the great journey. She has also had interactions with Jean since she knew about his less than favorable traits.

Light Novel Version
Ottilie does not appear in either the Web Novel or Light Novel version of this episode.

Manga Version
During Chapter 11, Flum is threatened by several corrupt guards while she is shopping. Ottilie shows up and cuts them down. Afterwards, Ottilie kneels down to Flum out of respect only to be shocked to find out that both Flum and Eterna are no longer members of the Hero’s Party. She also learns that Jean sold Flum into slavery.

In Chapter 12, when Milkit is kidnapped by Dein, Ottilie shows up to help Flum cut down several of Dein’s men which forces him to retreat. However, he uses his ropes to kidnap Milkit, and take her away with him.

Following Dein’s escape with Milkit, Ottilie stabs one of Dein’s men and tortures him for information on his whereabouts. She then cuts Flum down from the wall she was stuck on. She proceeds to say a few words to Flum which encourages Flum to gain the resolution to save Milkit from Dein.

As Ottilie and Flum make their way to Dein and Milkit’s location, they are attacked by one of the Spiral Children. Ottilie proceeds to confront their attacked while Flum heads off on her own.

Episode 03
Ottilie makes her first appearance in the Light Novel when encounters Flum visiting a Church. She quickly makes note of the slave brand on Flum’s cheek and quickly deduces it was Jean who did that to her. She apologizes to Flum for what happened to her. She offers to be of assistance to Flum whenever she can, and she gives Flum an invitation to visit her when she needs to.

Later on, Ottilie realized that Flum might have a more difficult time taking her up in her invitation due to her Slave Mark. As a result, Ottilie decides to pay Flum a visit. She ends up tracking down where Flum's House is located. While visiting, she finds out that Eterna Rinebow has also quit being a member of the Hero’s Party, and she is introduced to Milkit and Ink Wreathcraft.

Even though Flum isn’t there at the time Ottilie speaks with Eterna and Milkit. Much to her dismay, she finds out Gadhio Lathcutt will most likely quit the Hero’s Party as well, which ends up being true. Despite that, Ottilie is happy that Flum has some good roommates to keep her company.

While they are talking, Ottilie and Eterna become aware that Dein Phineas‘ men are about to attack the house. They quickly surmise that Flum is most likely in danger as well. While Ottilie offers to help Eterna deal with Dein’s men, Eterna makes it clear that she can handle it, and she should help Flum.

As Flum is attempting to fight back against Dein’s men and the corrupt guards he has on his side, Ottilie arrives to make short work out of a number of them. As she takes down Dein’s men, she chides him for getting so many men organized just to kill Flum.

Ottilie and Flum work together to take down as many of Dein’s men as possible. Eventually, this forces Dein and the remainder of his men to retreat. Flum and Ottilie attempt to use their ranged attacks to stop him, but he successfully escapes.

In the aftermath of the battle, Ottilie gives Flum her coat to cover up her body due to all the clothing damage she suffered while Dein’s men were trying to kill her. She apologizes to Flum for what happened, and she would do her best to make sure people know that Flum is innocent of the crimes Dein tried to frame her for. She’ll also ensure the corrupt guards who sided with Dein would be thoroughly punished. Flum states that while she wishes she could say what she went through wasn’t a big deal, she says the whole situation was ridiculous, and she just wants to go home to see Milkit much to Ottilie’s amusement.

When Flum attempts to visit Ottilie later, it is revealed she had gone missing. When she was investigating mysterious circumstances, she was forced on the run. Not even Henriette Bachsenheim was aware of where Ottilie could be. While Flum was concerned, she was certain that Ottilie was alive.

It is later revealed she became a target of the Origin Eyes. She and Eterna appear together alive and well, and they provide Flum and Gadhio some support. They fight the Spiral Children as they make their way to find Milkit and Ink.

After Flum defeated Dein and the Spiral Children make a retreat, she along with Eterna and Gadhi find Flum, Milkit, and Ink. She takes part in helping Eterna cut out the Origin Core in Ink’s chest and replace it with Dein’s heart.

Episode 04
When Flum and Milkit visit Ottilie in hopes of finding out information on the Necromancy group, they find her in a precarious position. Even Milkit feels dumbfounded and disturbed by what she sees.

Ottilie reveals that she unfortunately didn’t have any information to give Flum and Milkit regarding the the Necromancy team, but she’ll be sure to support them in anyway she can. Henrietta later orders Ottilie to follow Flum. As a result, she eventually finds the outskirts of the Village.

When Satils had the dead attack all the living relatives, Ottilie and her men played a role in helping the survivors. She also successfully manages to arrest one of the people involved in the incident.

At the end of the Episode, Henriette convinces Ottilie to resign from the Royal Army before they are absorbed by the church knights. It is revealed that this proves to be a wise decision due to many people who have opposing views to the Church knights being killed.

Episode 05
Ottilie saves Nekt, and she is officially a mercenary.

Adaptation Differences
By Kiki’s own admission, Ottilie has most likely had the greatest change in character and role between the original Web Novel and Light Novel.

In the original Web Novel, Ottilie makes her debut in Episode 06, and she is an enemy of Flum. In the Light Novel, she is introduced in Episode 03, and she is Flum's friend from the start. While her admiration and love for Henrietta is consistent, her personality is far more stable in the Light Novel, and she is much nicer and respectful to others.

In the manga adaptation, Ottilie is introduced during the equivalent of Episode 02's adaptation. She is introduced in a manga exclusive scene in Chapter 11 where she defends Flum from corrupt guards who are harassing her. As a result of her early introduction, she makes her debut before Milkit’s face is healed or Ink is introduced. She also finds out Eterna is Flum’s roommate much earlier than in the Light Novel. She also mentions Henrietta during her conversation with Flum and Eterna, so Henrietta’s existence is established earlier in the manga as well.

Trivia

 * Kiki revealed that she has been wearing her hair in pigtails because Henriette praised her for how she looked.
