Wolbach

Wolbach (ウォルバク) was a goddess that presided over violence and sloth. She served as one of the eight generals of the Demon King and had many worshipers within the Demon King's army.

She was a major antagonist, being one of the most predominately featured of the eight generals of the Demon King's army, and was the arch-nemesis of the adventurer Megumin.

Appearance
Wolbach was a beautiful woman with yellow cat-like pupiled eyes and short red hair. She had pointed ears similar to an elf and a strange oval-shaped mark on her forehead. Wolbach was seen to have goat-like horns protruding from the sides of her head while serving as a Demon King General, although whether or not these are part of her natural physiology or are merely decorative items is unknown. She was also fairly tall and well-endowed.

While teaching Explosion to Megumin, Wolbach wore a hooded robe covering her whole body and obscuring her face. When she served as a General of the Demon King she wore a cloak going down to her ankles and one-piece suit with a boob window and tie covering her cleavage.

Personality
Despite being an "evil god" and a general of the Demon King, Wolbach was shown to be of relatively high moral standing. Although she was a Goddess, Wolbach didn't talk down to Megumin (who at the time was a young girl) and elicited concern about the young girl's future as she thought Megumin dedicating her life to Explosion would be a waste.

Wolbach has also shown herself to be a very courteous and patient person. After being released from the seal she risked being captured by the Crimson Magic Clan for several days just to fulfill Megumin's wish of learning Explosion magic.

Although she normally maintains a calm exterior Wolbach did occasionally lose her temper such as when her legitimacy as a Goddess was called into question by Aqua. She also began cracking after her camp was blasted by Explosion for several days.

History
Wolbach was a dark Goddess who presided over the spheres of sloth and violence. She claimed to be a perfectly decent upstanding Goddess before the Axis Church deemed her a 'Dark God'. Wolbach was split into two beings and sealed within a complex sealing stone; one of these beings represented the sloth aspect of Wolbach while the other one represented the aspect of violence and took the form of a huge black beast. The sealing stone was moved to the village of the Crimson Magic Clan, who took the Goddess because they thought the idea of having an evil Goddess locked away in their village sounded cool and to serve as a tourist attraction for their village.

Approximately 8 years prior to the main series, a young Megumin was playing with the complex sealing stone and accidentally released Wolbach and her other half, which went on a rampage. Wolbach used Explosion to defeat the beast and save Megumin, then she sapped her violence aspect of most of its energy before resealing it, deciding to come back for it when it was more calm. Wolbach then taught Megumin the spell "Explosion" as thanks and left the Crimson Magic Village behind.

The aspect of violence was later unknowingly unsealed by Megumin's younger sister Komekko seven years later. Because violence was so weak after its confrontation with sloth, Komekko was able to best it and bring it home for lunch. However, Megumin, believing it was a common house cat in its weakened form, kept the aspect of violence as her pet/familiar and called it Chomusuke.

Eventually, Wolbach joined the army of the Demon King as one of the eight generals who maintain the barrier around his castle. Sometime after Komekko released Chomusuke, Wolbach traveled back to the Crimson Magic Village only to discover that Chomusuke had already been released.

Deciding that she needed a break from her travels, Wolbach decided to head to the city of Arcanletia, the city of hot water springs. On her way to the city she met a Crimson Magic Clan girl named Yunyun in a travel carriage. After learning that the girl was seeking adventuring comrades, Wolbach extended an invitation to her, however Yunyun declined after she learned that Wolbach was going to Arcanletia, a city she had history with.

Abilities
Due to her divinity, Wolbach possessed incredible natural potential. Like Aqua she had an incredibly high mana level and emitted a divine aura. She could allegedly bestow divine punishment on those who displeased her, claiming that as the Goddess of Sloth she could make her enemies have restless nights.

Magic: Wolbach was an incredibly powerful mage who could use a vast array of advanced and intermediate spells.


 * Intermediate Magic:
 * Freeze Gust: An intermediate spell that makes a gust of white powder which can freeze an opponent in place. Wolbach used Freeze Gust to defeat a pack of One-Strike Bears.
 * Paralyze: An intermediate spell that instantly makes the target unable to move. She used this spell on Megumin so she could steal her adventurer card.


 * Advanced Magic: She had an incredibly high mana reserve as she was able to cast another advanced level spell immediately after casting Explosion.
 * Explosion: Explosion is an advanced spell and is unrivaled in terms of pure destructive power. However it consumes so much mana that most spell casters would find their mana completely drained after using it once. Wolbach is an exception to this rule because of her incredibly high mana levels.
 * Inferno: An advanced spell that creates a large blaze and incinerates the surrounding area. Wolbach demonstrated this spell to Megumin in an attempt to waver her from the path of Explosion.
 * Teleportation: Teleport is an advanced spell that allows Wolbach to instantly travel to any destination so long as she has marked that location as a teleport point. She often used Teleport in conjunction with Explosion as a devastating hit-and-run combo.
