| “ | Your true value is different from that of a Magic God who has to determine superiority by the presence or absence of power. Isn’t that right? So feeling ashamed that you lack strength is pure foolishness. Your value shows itself once you accept what you lack and think about what to do without that strength. | „ |
| ~ Othinus to Touma Kamijou. |
Othinus, also known as One-Eye Othinus, is a major character in the A Certain Magical Index franchise.
Initially serving as the secondary antagonist of New Testament, she was a Magic God, a being of unimaginable magical power, and the leader of GREMLIN. She is the person who inspired the Norse legends of Odin and was the arch-nemesis of Ollerus. After destroying the world several times and subjecting Touma Kamijou to much suffering, she eventually realized that Touma's the only person who could ever understand her.
She is voiced by Asami Seto, who also voices Raphtalia in The Rising of the Shield Hero, Nobara Kugisaki in Jujutsu Kaisen, Alpha in The Eminence in Shadow and Mai Sakurajima in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.
Appearance[]
Othinus appears as a young girl who looks around the age of 14 with long, wavy blond hair. True to her moniker of "One-Eyed Othinus", she is missing her right eye and wears an eyepatch over it. It's revealed that she had her right eye removed so she could drink from the well of wisdom. Her left eye is glittery green and with a slit-like iris. She is usually seen wearing a revealing outfit along with a cape, a ribbon wrapped around her and a wide brimmed hat with a pointed tip, showing traces of a witch-like attire.
Due to the effects of the "Turn into a fairy" spell, Othinus is now a 15 centimeters fairy and is usually seen on Touma's shoulders.
Personality[]
Othinus' behavior and actions showcase the mentality of a madwoman guided by desperation and longing. She was a person who craved knowledge back in her original world and would go to extreme lengths to obtain it, such as gouging out her own eye or even hanging herself. When she finally acquired such knowledge and the power with it, she became an immensely powerful being known as a Magic God, she began to reconstruct the world the way she saw fit. However, even though she had gotten everything she had ever wanted, she felt nostalgic of her original world and never realized how fortunate she was to have lived there. Due to seemingly warping reality multiple times, Othinus had forgotten what the world was like before the changes. Her desire to return back to that world is what is really drove her to action in the first place. Unfortunately, she can only make changes, not undo them.
In her initial introduction, Othinus was portrayed as a stereotypical sociopath: ruthless, power-hungry, arrogant, and cold-hearted. She is willing to use any means necessary to achieve her goals, regardless of the destruction and suffering her ambitions might bring to others. Othinus has no qualms about threatening, harming or even killing anyone who displeases her, whether enemy or ally. Furthermore, Othinius is extremely manipulative, deceptive and cunning, able to manipulate the loose members of GREMLIN into doing her bidding so she and her inner circle didn't have to show themselves. In addition to this, Othinus is quite treacherous, as her namesake Odin is the god of betrayal, and will often cast aside her subordinates to get her way, as shown when she revealed that she had just been using the entirety of GREMLIN as a scapegoat while she herself completes the real Gungnir behind everyone's backs.
Due to her immense power and divine status, Othinus has a severe god complex, outright stating that she is a god and often comparing herself to Ollerus, who is deemed as a failure. Her ego is only boosted after completing Gungnir as she destroys the world and boasts about her victory. She then subjects Touma Kamijou to an untold amount of suffering and death by constantly reshaping reality to what the narration describes to be over a billion worlds. However, this is because Othinus is both afraid of the Imagine Breaker and is afraid to get rid of it, due to it being the universe’s reference point and can return it back to its original state. Thus, rather than killing him, Othinus decided to break Touma’s will and extract the Imagine Breaker from him.
After defeating Touma, Othinus realizes that she had been so obsessed with finding a way to return to her original world, that she had been willing to hurt and antagonize everybody, and that she had forgotten the real reason she wanted this: to find someone who understood her. She then realizes it has been so long that she can barely even remember her original world, and that Touma's world wasn't so bad. Upon discovering that Touma is someone who truly understands her and being touched that he trusted her to use Imagine Breaker better than he did, she instead restores the world back to the way it was, and resolves to be killed to atone for her sins.
Following the events in Denmark, Othinus becomes more easygoing in terms of personality but still retains her haughtiness and ego, despite losing most of her godly powers. She has also become incredibly attached to Touma and truly cares about him. Ollerus states that if Touma were to die in front of her eyes, she would become a more frightening monster than anything she had shown before. However, Othinus still arrogantly refers to Touma as "human" and can be quite violent when annoyed by him too much, though Touma enjoys this and it's has little to no effect on him. Othinus often behaves very serious and pragmatic and likes to overexplain certain things. In spite of being full of bravado, she's a lonely person, and is softhearted beyond her perceived stubbornness.
