[Aozaki Touko (surface)] - Huh? Heey, Kokutou-kuun?

[Aozaki Touko (undersurface)] - 【Aozaki Touko - Design Notes】
During the time of producing the Anime-version, I decided to alter the design she had in the Doujin-paper book.
As a result of thinking again in my own special way of a correct design for Touko, I harmonized more with a relatively ordinary living, beautiful big sister-type who's good at her work, than a magician who gives the impression of separating herself from this transient world.
By the way, I think you will understand the reason why her hair was short in the doujin version, if you'll be able to see Mahoutsukai no Yoru.
While wearing her glasses, her facial expression is calm and kind.
When she's taking them of, her facial expression is very cruel.
Touko "offered" her long hair to Lugh Beowulf to be able to form a contract with a beast of his rank. This should have secured a complete success until Soujuurou beat the hell out of this werewolf. Also, 20-year-worth of hair is significant. The worth of a female magus' hair was emphasized during Aoko's fight with the Snark. It's a female magus' best possible weapon/ingredient/item as it can amplify spells and such. This is why should Touko lose in her fight with Aoko (in which she did lose), there's no way she can plan a comeback because she has exhausted her resources already. (hair and money alike)
