Natsume Mikage

Natsume Mikage (深影 棗) is the leader of five Workshop Witches from Tougetsu Junior High School that cooperate with Kazane Kagari to protect Tougetsu City. She also happens to be the niece of chemistry teacher Kyoichiro Mikage.

Appearance
Natsume has deep dark brown hair that is styled in a bob cut with bangs swept to the left side, azure colored eyes with the irises being extremely large to the point that you can't see the whites of her eyes and she necessarily wears blue-rimmed round-shaped glasses.

She is usually seen in her witch attire or school uniform.

Background
Natsume's actual background is unknown. However, she is implied to be the candidate of the Mikage family's leader.

Powers and Abilities
Natsume is an expert at analyzing her enemies and dismantling their strategies. She uses a storage-form spell-book she hides in her pocket. This spell-book evidently works even when the Workshop power-source is inoperative. Natsume leads a group of 5 witches who do the majority of work protecting the city under Kazane Kagari.

Shiori Mikage
Shiori is Natsume's mother. Shiori raised Natsume to believe she would marry Honoka when they came of age. There are indicator's that Natsume was not happy about that. Natsume has secretly helped Honoka and Ayaka and this could be to support their relationship so she doesn't have to marry Honoka.

Ayaka Kagari
Natsume seems to support Ayaka, probably in the hopes that Ayaka will marry Honoka and relieve Natsume of the burden. For a brief time in the Kasumi's World arc Ayaka accused Natsume of abducting Honoka but later apologized when she found out she was mistaken.

Honoka Takamiya
Shiori raised Natsume under the belief that she should live her life to be a protector and marriage candidate for Honoka. She seemed relieved when Ayaka stepped in to take that role.

Kasumi Takamiya
Natsume and Kasumi are friends and fellow workshop witches. Kasumi is an alternate to the top 5 witches who protect the city, which Natsume leads.

Rinon Otometachibana
Rinon and Natsume are friends. Rinon defended Natsume when Ayaka was accusing her of doing something to Honoka in the Kasumi's World arc, enough so that she was willing to fight Ayaka to save Natsume from being interogated.

Kyoichiro Mikage
Kyoichiro is Natsume's uncle who has a large portrait of him in her bedroom, which might imply that she secretly has a crush on him.

Atori Kuramine
Natsume and Atori are friends and fellow workshop witches. They are both in the top 5 protectors for the city.

Kazane Kagari
Natsume seems to support Kazane over her mother. This might be because she secretly does not wish to marry Honoka and wishes to see Ayaka marry him so she doesn't have to.
