Puck

Puck (パック), is an Artificial Spirit created by Echidna that Emilia was formerly contracted with. He is known as the Beast of the End and is the current Great Spirit of Fire.

During the events of Arcs 1 through 4, Puck played a pivotal role for Emilia's mental state, supporting her and acting as her parental figure. During the events of the 4th Arc, however, Puck forcefully severed the contract with her in order to remove the seal placed over Emilia's memories, giving her a fighting chance in the Witch of Greed's Trials. After using every last bit of power he was capable of mustering up at that time, Puck entered a long period of sleep, inside a powerful Pyroxene Crystal which is currently worn by Emilia, however, the crystal isn't powerful enough to allow him to materialize.

Appearance
In his smaller form, Puck stands at nine centimetres tall and is small enough to fit in the palm of a person's hand. Aside from his diminutive stature and the fact that he usually stands on his hindlegs, Puck is fairly physically reminiscent of a common house cat, specifically an American Shorthair. The light grey and white fur that coats his entire body is well-groomed and very soft. His eyes are icy green and his pink nose is another trait that separates him from a house cat. Puck's tail is abnormally long to the point that it is the length of his body and his ears are floppy yet extremely soft to the touch. On his left ear, Puck wears a single golden hoop earring that makes his ear droop down. He can also occasionally be seen carrying around a miniaturized magenta handbag that fits his small size perfectly.

Personality
Puck is generally a nice spirit. He is usually in a very good and happy mood, and usually stood at Emilia's side to protect her, affectionately calling her "Lia" or "my daughter". He occasionally shows his goofy side as well, which can be clearly observed during the events of the 2nd Arc, where Puck nonchalantly teases both Subaru and Emilia with seemingly no end. Furthermore, Puck gets along especially well with Beatrice. However, Puck's demeanour greatly changed in loops where Emilia died. When such tragedy struck, he was willing to destroy the world to save Emilia and to fulfil his vows with the Witch of Greed.

Despite his seemingly never-ending happy-go-lucky attitude, Puck usually reacts and acts very cold and sometimes even hostile with everyone else besides Emilia, Beatrice, Roswaal, Rem, Ram and Subaru. During the Royal Selection Ceremony at the start of Arc 3, Puck was mere seconds away from freezing the entire Royal Throne Room, killing everyone inside it–though it was revealed soon after, that the entire exchange was a plan devised by Roswaal, in order to have Emilia make a memorable impression on the Sage Council and the other four Royal Selection Candidates.

History
Around 400 years ago, Puck was a humanoid being but was created into an Artificial Spirit by Echidna to watch over Emilia. Roughly three years after his creation, he and Beatrice helped Toska in fending off the Silver Dragons led by Falgal.

He had apparently left Echidna by the time she moved into the Sanctuary to look for Emilia. Seven years before the start of the election, Puck unfroze Emilia and began to act as her friend and mentor, and later on, started to live at Roswaal's Mansion where he was reunited with Beatrice.

Abilities
Artificial Spirit (人工精霊 Jinkou Seirei): Puck is a Great Spirit presiding over Fire Mana. While he was contracted with Emilia, he used to have a number of conditions, one of which was that he would only appear from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, though he could use her Od to manifest himself in an emergency. Like Beatrice, Puck is also an Artificial Spirit, making him have a terrible mana consumption rate. He used to drain mana from Emilia, who didn't have any use for it until she remembered that she could use magic on her own during the trials, while lying that he was absorbing it from the atmosphere. Puck had a vow with Echidna that forbade him from forming a contract with Emilia on his own, however he broke this vow as he was on the verge of death, both as a means to save himself and to protect her from the effects of his battle with Melakuera. This resulted in his memories of the past being sealed.

Magic User (魔法使い Maho Tsukai):

While normally staying in a small size, Puck's true form is a monstrous, 20 meter, glowing yellow eyed (in the anime it's been shown that Puck is able to keep his icy green eye colour in that form if he controls his temper) cat like beast which is dubbed "the Beast of the End". As he needs an incredible amount of mana to stay in this form, he forcibly drains it from his surroundings, causing them to freeze.
