Kirsch Vermillion

Kirsch Vermilion (キルシュ・ヴァーミリオン) is a nobleman of Clover Kingdom's House Vermilion, vice-captain of the Coral Peacock squad of the Magic Knights, and a 1st Class Senior Magic Knight.

Appearance
Kirsch is a young man dressed as a soldier. He has long side-parted hair that is tied back with a braid going across his hairline and a thin band around his head. He has two dark hanging earrings and sports the Coral Peacock vest.

Personality
Kirsh is very dramatic and vain, promoting his looks with every chance he gets. His obsession with beauty does not end with his own face; he finds Asta's body ugly for having muscles because he feels that beauty is leaving one's body in its natural state. Like other nobles, Kirsch looks down on those of lower birth. When Asta greets him casually, his demeanor turns grim and he is visually disgusted that someone of a lower status is addressing him so informally.

Despite his excessive behavior, Kirsch is an excellent leader worthy of being the vice-captain of Coral Peacock, for which he does most of the work instead of his sleeping captain. When Magna and Sol are quickly countered during the exam, he is quick to appear next to them and help them adjust their attacks for more optimal results.

Biography
Kirsh was born into House Vermilion, and some time later, his younger sister Mimosa Vermilion was born. After becoming a Magic Knight, Kirsch is promoted to vice-captain of the Coral Peacock squad.

For the Royal Knights Selection Exam, Kirsch is placed on Team C with Magna Swing and Sol Marron. He later complains that neither is from a noble family and tells them not to taint his beauty. He continues to criticize and creep out his teammates, before greeting his sister. Asta then greets Kirsch, who is disgusted by such informality and deeply criticizes Asta. Kirsch is delighted when Mimosa cheers for his team to win, but is surprised when she adds that it so her team can beat his.

As the second match begins, Kirsch encourages his teammates to let their beauty shine. Magna and Sol charge across the battlefield and Kirsch sends clones to critique their fighting styles, suggesting that Magna should analyze his opponents and make use of both close- and long-range attacks and that Sol should make five smaller golems and use them more creatively. Kirsch stays behind to protect their crystal, and when one of the opponents attacks it, Kirsch dissolves the spell and reveals that he has covered the battlefield with cherry blossoms. He then creates two protective tunnels leading to the opponents' crystal for Magna and Sol, who destroy the crystal as Kirsch cheers. The match ends with Team C making a dramatic pose.

After the match, Kirsch asks the other Magic Knights how beautiful his fight was, but insults Asta when the boy compliments him. Kirsch then says that in their next match, he will crush Asta like the cracked bowl he is. Asta counters that a cracked bowl lasts longer, but Kirsch points out that only a poor person would continue to use a cracked bowl.

Kirsch is later impressed by Langris Vaude's Spatial Magic, saying that it is to be expected from House Vaude.
