Archbishop Lola Stuart


"Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi"

Lola Stuart is the Archbishop of Necessarius and also the English Anglican Church. Despite being the Archbishop, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl with long blonde hair that's 2.5 times her height; other than that, few details about her are known.

"Stiyl: ""No one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values. The hidden dragon among magicians, she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply.""
 * Adult Child: For all her mind-games and grand plots, most of the time you'll find her acting her appearance instead of her age.
 * Ambiguously Evil: She's done just as many evil deeds as she has good ones. It's hard to say whether she's a good person, a bad one or simply a neutral one.

"Stiyl -- "...don’t tell me you used such a stupid way of speaking to negotiate with the representatives from Academy City." "
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: The leader of Necessarius, and a very competent magician - Knight Leader estimates her as being stronger than Kaori.
 * Batman Gambit: She knows very well which strings she should pull to control her subordinates.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: She may look like a sweet, innocent teenager but people have to remember that she's the Archbishop of Necessarius. She's not afraid to use the powers bestowed upon her to eliminate her enemies in whatever means, all while she's smiling at you.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Despite how childishly she acts, there's a reason she's the Archbishop.
 * The Chessmaster: She's capable of regularly matching wits with and sometimes even out-maneuver Aleister Crowley. If that doesn't qualify you nothing will.

 * Demonic Possession:
 * Dissonant Serenity
 * Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter:
 * Manipulative, Magnificent Bitch How magnificent is she? Let's start with the Book of Law incident.
 * As Stiyl eloquently describes it: "...You bitch."
 * It's taken Up To Eleven in NT Volume 18, where she
 * Odd Friendship: With Queen Elizard.
 * Older Than They Look: Her appearance hasn't changed that much since ten years ago.
 * Rapunzel Hair: It's literally 2.5 times her height, needing to be looped several times just to avoid touching the ground.
 * Running Gag: It's only shown once in the anime, but in the novels, Lola would often have her serious conversations derailed by the person in question awkwardly asking her why her Japanese sounds so weird (all thanks to Tsuchimikado teaching her Japanese). In a very awkward moment, Aleister even offered to send a Japanese teacher to help her out.


 * Stuff Blowing Up:
 * Telepathy: She possesses charms which facilitate this effect.

 * Hidden Heart of Gold

 * Going Commando
 * Hidden Heart of Gold

 * Hot Chick with a Sword

 * Lightning Bruiser: Her supersonic speed is so stunning that Touma's reflexes can hardly keep track of her.
 * Mama Bear: Though she left her former comrades, the Amakusa Catholics, she still cares about them and will start a battle if they are in danger even if that means starting a war between churches. She’s also deeply worried about Touma, who solved her personal problems for her and made her a Defrosting Ice Queen.
 * Meaningful Name: "Kaori" can be translated as "Fire Weave" and "Kanzaki" as "God's Tear".
 * Nerves of Steel
 * Never Live It Down: In-universe; when she meets up with Touma in Volume 17, the only thing he could associate her with was the "Fallen Angel Erotic Maid" costume that she wore off-screen.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: Explicitly compared to a nuclear weapon at one point. Her existence is part of the existing military equilibrium that keeps the Magic Side from breaking into open war.

 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

 * The Rival: Has a friendly rivalry with her kohai, Itsuwa. The source of the rivalry? They both like the same guy!
 * The Stoic
 * Thou Shall Not Kill: Due to wanting to save everyone. Exploited in NT Volume 10,
 * Tranquil Fury
 * The Worf Effect: She seems to be used as a measuring stick for other more powerful characters and thus doesn't seem to get to win fights very much. This is taken to its logical conclusion when she's defeated by Knight Leader in one hit, without even landing an attack on him.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: She doesn't quite make it but in the side stories it's clear that she's trying to be as much like this as she can.
 * Younger Than They Look: In Volume 7, Touma flatly disbelieves the idea that she’s only eighteen. She might have found it an acceptable error if he hadn't gone for the opposite end of the spectrum when guessing her age.
