It's finally finished! My super-energy potion made from an obscene amount of ingredients extracted from ultra-rare magical mushrooms! If I drink this, it will increase my magic power to the max!
~ Sucy in Sleeping Sucy

Sucy Manbavaran is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of Little Witch Academia. She is a young witch from the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and Akko Kagari and Lotte Yanson's classmate at Luna Nova Academy.

Appearance

Sucy is a tall, thin girl who bears an image of a stereotypical witch. She has pale grayish-mauve skin, puce hair and red eyes with white pupils. She comes off as laid-back, with droopy, half-lidded eyes that make her look indifferent or lethargic half of the time. Her left eye is covered by a large fringe of hair. Because of Sucy's pastel mauve tone, seeming lack of arms (her arms are only visible when she moves them), and a uniform which is longer than usual, that is reaching to the ground, she gives off an eerie aura and a ghostly appearance.

For pajamas, Sucy wears a white and red cap and a white long-sleeved collared shirt that reaches past her feet. She is sometimes depicted without arms in this outfit, making her look even more ghostly.

The early promotional poster of the original film gives Sucy olive-green hair instead of puce, blue eyes, and a slightly darker skin tone.

Personality

When introduced in the short films, Sucy is portrayed as an aloof, calm, sarcastic and somewhat sadistic person. She also surprisingly remains indifferent in various situations and things that drive the other girls crazy.

In "Sleeping Sucy" and as shown in separate occasions, it has been suggested that even with her own kind, Sucy was considered an eccentric freak; she had a clear preference on something which scared or at least disturbed other girls, such as the idea of getting eaten, foul-smelling fumes of potions or poisons, performing experiments with potions and poisons on Akko, and pulling scary pranks that she found amusing, less so for her victims. Hannah and Barbara also refer to her as "Creepy Sucy" when picking on Akko. However, contrary to their belief, Sucy is neither a complete freak nor a heartless anti-social girl, as she does care a lot for her friends in spite of having no qualms about using them as test subjects in her potion experiments, whether or not they give consent to it. In addition to this, her other hobbies are shown to include yoga and meditation. It is also hinted that the only emotional connection she had was with Akko, which explains why the memory of their first meeting is considered the best one she has.

Powers and Abilities

  • Potion and Poison Brewing: Sucy has knowledge of alchemy and is very skilled at creating (deadly) potions. She has an uncanny interest for mushrooms, and uses them in most of her recipes, usually deadly ones. She has vast knowledge of potions and poisons as well as their effects, being able to prepare poisonous potions that not only kill their victims, but also reduce their bodies into caustic, liquid body mass, and also potions capable of creating big explosions, fertilizer potions that accelerate the growth of vegetation, a potion that gives life to objects and a special Mandrake potion that temporarily increases magical power.
  • Object Control Magic: Sucy can magically manipulate and levitate objects without touching them.
  • Toxin Immunity: Results of exposure to various poisons and toxins made Sucy develop immunity to them, a trait shared by her family.
  • Broom Flying Spell: Sucy can activate the power of her magical broom to fly riding it.

Equipments

  • Magic Wand: Sucy carries a wand as an instrument to cast magic.
  • Magic Broom: Broom with magical powers that allow the witch to fly with it.
  • Poisons and Potion Vials: Sucy carries several vials of poisons and potions whenever she goes.

Etymology

Her first name, "Sucy" can mean "holy" in Malay and Indonesian and may also be derived from "Susi" in Filipino, which means "key"; while her surname, "Manbavaran", is apparently derived from "Mambabarang" in Cebuano, which means "Black Sorcerer/Sorceress".

Trivia

  • Sucy's broom in the first episode is a walis tambo, a soft broom commonly used in households in the Philippines.
  • Sucy's family is different in both the Teri Terio manga and in the Keisuke Satō manga. In the Teri Terio manga, she actually stayed with her biological family whereas in the Keisuke Satō manga, she was adopted by an elder witch along with several other children who did not have any parents to take care of them.
  • Sucy makes an appearance in the eighth episode of Space Patrol Luluco, another anime series produced by Studio Trigger.
    • Sucy also has a different voice actress, being voiced by Anastasia Munoz.
