Character

Megumin

めぐみん

Megumin is an Arch Wizard of the Crimson Demon Clan in the Fantasy World and is the first person to join Kazuma's party. She is one of the main characters of the KonoSuba series. Megumin is a young girl with shoulder-length dark brown hair (smooth black in light novel) and crimson colored eyes. She wears a classical witch attire such as a black cloak with gold border, choker, wizard's hat, fingerless gloves, and carries a black staff. Though she jokingly claims that her eyepatch seals her immense power, she sees it as a stylish sense of fashion due to her chuunibyou tendencies. She has a fair skin and a light complexion. Unlike her rival Yunyun who has a more developed body, Megumin seems to have a delicate under-developed figure, as Kazuma describes her figure as a "porcelain doll". Yuiyui also stated that all of their family members have a thin body, but Megumin thinks that it's just because they lack nutrients because they hardly eat solid food. Megumin is a straightforward girl, who speaks in an old-style Japanese dialect. She can be very hyper and lively at times and has chuunibyou tendencies like the rest of the Crimson Demon villagers. She is very intelligent, but has very little self-control, especially when it comes to using Explosion magic. She has no problem wasting her spell on empty plains or abandoned castles, as long as she can use Explosion once a day. She decided to become an Explosion mage after a busty older woman saved her with Explosion magic when she was young, and after learning it claims she "must cast Explosion once a day or die." While still attending school, Megumin would swindle food from Yunyun everyday since her parents couldn't afford meals. Due to her exceptional academic performance, Megumin was able to graduate early. When she left to travel alone, Yunyun predicted she would be "at a loss due to a lack in the means of survival, begging a useless guy for a meal." After traveling to Axel Town, she quickly gained a reputation as a crazy Explosion fanatic, thus parties refused to accept her before meeting Kazuma and Aqua.
