In the light novel, he states out of all the candidates Otto supports Emilia the most because, like her, he is used to being misunderstood and treated badly for being different. He has a blessing that allows him to communicate with any animal, plant or being in the world.

Rie Takahashi : She is the Witch of Envy and the main figure of worship of the Witch Cult. She is believed to be responsible for bringing Subaru to the parallel world and for his "Return by Death" ability. 400 years earlier, Satella absorbed Envy Witch Genes which she had no compatibility with, resulting in the creation of her Witch of Envy personality, subsequently going out of control and killing the six other Witches of Sin, while nearly destroying the world. Despite the efforts of many, including the Dragon, the first Sword Saint, and the Sage, Satella could not be killed and was instead sealed in a shrine at the Grand Cascade that is currently being watched over by the Sage. Infamously known for being a silver-haired half-elf girl, Satella's past actions resulted in severe prejudice and discrimination against half-breeds, especially half-elves like Emilia, due to her own strong resemblance to the Witch. ; : Voiced by (English):

Mikako Komatsu : She is the Witch of Wrath. She is one of the primary characters in the fourth arc of the series. Minerva does not like conflict as she always lamented it while healing people. She also only cares about what is in front of her, stating that she did not care about what she cannot see, such as the side effects of her ability, though she will immediately head off to address it once her current problem is dealt with as long as there are injured people. She is seen being prideful of her work. In the past, people in the world around Minerva were constantly fighting, causing her to cry. Eventually, she realized that crying would not solve anything and decided to train herself in order to gain enough power to be a deterrent to fighting, though that still did not change anything. As she fought, she came to understand that she'd been crying out of rage and not sorrow, causing her to start punching people, resulting in their wounds being healed. From that moment on, she traveled the world to heal people wherever she found people in need. ; : Voiced by (English): Lisa ReimoldVoiced by (Japanese):
Manaka Iwami : She is the Witch of Lust. She is one of the primary characters in the fourth arc of the series. Carmilla has extremely low self confidence, often having downcast eyes and overall acts very timid. She tends to stutter and question her own words, more often than not ticking other people off by doing so. She speaks in a very polite manner, trying not to cause any disagreements or disapproval. At times, she shows a rather submissive side of her, when dealing with her fellow Witches of Sin, as seen when she had no problem it taking part of Echidna's scheme to lure Subaru into her castle of dreams, despite knowing it will end badly for her. Due to her timid personality and low self confidence, she is frequently seen shying away from stern gazes, often pleading people not to hit her or exercise any form of violence towards her which likely stems from her past bad experiences with other people. In the past, Carmilla was the reason why her village, the neighboring villages and cities and even the great country she lived in, were engulfed in the flames of war. Everyone desired and loved her but she desired none of it, hence she left everything and everyone behind in search of the love she lost. A long time ago, Carmilla was a normal girl who was loved by the people in her village, and even had a fiancé. However, one day a man of power came to the man and desired her. Angered by the man's actions, the villagers rose up in defiance and fought against him, eventually burning him down along with his mansion. The cities and villages around theirs began to regard them as dangerous, causing the fighting to spread, and soon their force was toppling countries, all the while claiming that it was for her sake. Carmilla began to be regarded as a heavenly maiden, nevertheless she did not desire such a thing, and saw that they were being misled by their own fantasies and manipulated by their ideals. After they had toppled a large country, her fiancé proposed to her at the top of the castle, though she ignored him and left everything behind, despairing that what she had originally wanted no longer existed. ; : Voiced by (English): Michelle MarieVoiced by (Japanese):
Nao Tōyama : She is the Witch of Gluttony. As the Witch of Gluttony, Daphne's reason for living is to feel full, causing her to care about the amount more than taste. She was also seen repeatedly vomiting out food and eating it again, although she seems to indulge in such acts only when there is no more food left. If that option fails, she will resort to eating objects she can chew, like rugs, curtains, clothes, etc. In an effort to try and get rid of the never ending hunger, she created the Demon Beasts but soon after lost control of them and accidentally released them into the world. Despite the threat the Demon Beasts present, they were created with a positive mindset – to save the world from hunger. Her view on hunger is bizarre and weird, stating that those who try to eat others should be wary of being eaten themselves, therefore she was unable to comprehend Subaru's counterarguments to her theory. A long time ago, a man was afflicted with an incurable disease, and, as he was afraid of dying, he began using various methods to try and prolong his life. Daphne was one of the many people he used in his experiments, and eventually he succeeded in achieving his goal by using her body. In his joy, he forcibly undid her binds, and when she came to her senses she found herself all alone in the man's castle, suffering from hunger. To satisfy her hunger, she began eating everything in the castle, including things like the throne and the carpets, and resorted to eating what she threw up when necessary. As she was immortal, she could not die, however she felt like she was going to die from hunger. Eventually, she somehow began creating Demon Beasts in the castle, which she considered to be illusions at the time, and started to use them as a food source. After a while, her binds broke from the fighting between her and the beasts, allowing her to leave the castle. ; : Voiced by (English): Kimberley Anne CampbellVoiced by (Japanese):
Misaki Kuno : She is the Witch of Pride. Typhon acts really child-like, which reflects on her actual age, often doing things on impulse, not reading the mood properly and rarely listening to other people. She has trouble understanding heavier, philosophical topics, as seen when she did not understand Subaru's view on "good" and "bad" people. Her replies sometimes tend to be younger than expected for a 10 year old child. She shows heavy interest in people's "sins", more often than not disregarding topics and entire conversations (often important) in order to figure out if a person is an "evildoer" or not. She shows little to no compassion for people who she regards as evildoers however, she feels solicitude towards people who are not evildoers but have a guilty conscience, even though she is perfectly capable of killing them. She is said to have judged criminals with the innocence and ruthlessness of a child, which stemmed from her past of watching her father execute people, in order to find an answer about the concept of good and evil. This later resulted in her killing her own father, alongside other members of her village. Her view on the world is described as easygoing and bizarre, completely different from what you would expect from a 10 year old girl. When Typhon was a young girl, she was troubled with the concept of good and evil, and tended to watch her father execute people as a part of his job to find an answer. One day, she broke his wine cup, prompting her to confess her deed to him while fearing execution, though fortunately he accepted her apology, leading her to believe that the scale that measured a person's sin was inside of their own heart. Ever since then, Typhon began asking people if they were sinners, and brought down punishment to those that were guilty. ; : Voiced by (English): Nicole GoseVoiced by (Japanese):
Mai Nakahara : She is the Witch of Sloth. True to her position as the Witch of Sloth, Sekhmet's personality can be summed up in one word, lazy, which can also be seen through her appearance. She is also lazy enough that she finds breathing even once to be a pain and gives off a gloomy atmosphere. Before she was born, Sekhmet's clan expected things from her, wanting to bring back their founder known as God. However, after she was born, she disappointed them, causing them to hold her in disdain and abandon her as punishment. Many years later, upon hearing of a wild woman in the mountains, men came and captured her, taking her down to the city. While there, she gained knowledge, a way of life, and emotions. Eventually, not understanding at the time that what she felt was gratitude and obligation, she snapped the necks of the men in the place she lived in and left. Returning to her homeland, she proceeded to kill her entire clan, not understanding at the time that what she felt was hatred and a desire for revenge. She then returned to her previous home to give the men she killed a proper burial, and once she was alone, she felt a peace of mind, which she felt happy about. Over 400 years ago, Sekhmet drove Volcanica past the Great Waterfall just so she could rest, following into a fight between the two with Sekhmet falling from the Great Waterfall while fighting, concluding into her death. ; : Voiced by (English): Deneen MelodyVoiced by (Japanese):
Rie Kugimiya : Pandora is the Witch of Vanity as well the true main antagonist of the series who has a mysterious relationship with the Witch Cult and appears throughout history as the driving force behind several major events prior to the beginning of the series. The only witch still freely roaming the world after Satella's imprisonment, she acts dignified and graceful, but when Geuse takes the Sloth Genes, she's a maniac and not calm and composed at all. She dodges direct questions, answering with "for the greater good" and "sacrifices are necessary" when she brought the rest of the cult for her amusement. She does what she wants and wraps it nicely. Pandora's very existence is made to be a secret, as talking about her is a taboo for both the moderate and radical members of the Witch Cult. Pandora attacked the Elven village 100 years ago along with Regulus, and was also behind the attack on Garkla 30 years ago and the failed White Whale conquest battle 15 years ago where Theresia died, and has somehow turned both her and Kurgan into puppets for the Witch Cult. ; : Voiced by (English):
