There is such an anime character, who obtained the title of apprentice witch at the age of 14, and left home at the age of 15 to begin traveling alone. Known as a genius, she has long gray hair, and her face is as delicate and cute as a doll, and even the hot sun in the summer will shine even more when she sees it.
Who is this character?
That's right, it's from the witch of "Witch's Journey", Irena.
As for the reason for calling her a "chip witch", on the one hand, it is due to the slightly dark personality performance; on the other hand, the practice of traveling while cheating money is really crumbling. It is precisely because of this that there is the "chip witch" that fans call it.
Sure, Irena is cute, but she's cute. And whether it is the original work or the animation, the portrayal of this heroine is particularly careful.

Influenced by Nicole's Adventures, Irena dreamed of traveling everywhere alone at an early age. This word from the mouth of the child, the parents did not care too much, after the mother said , "Then you must first become a witch like Nicole", the father also echoed.
Unexpectedly, Irena's side took it seriously, and since then she has been working hard to target the witch until the age of 14, and finally became the youngest apprentice witch in history.
Her next goal is to find a witch to worship, and after getting the approval of the other party, she will be officially awarded the title of witch. According to common sense, it should not be very difficult for such a gifted child to find a master.
But here, she ate the closed door soup one after another. Finally, after learning about the Stardust Witch Fran from her mother's mouth, she found the other party. Although the teacher seemed a little unreliable, he agreed to take her as an apprentice.
And just like that, the long training process began.
"Irena, go get some breakfast";
"Irena, go shopping for something in town";
"Irena, go catch five geckos";
......
Wait, how did you treat me like a maid when you said good to teach magic? The heroine also sensed that something was not right and tried to ask the other party, but was fooled each time.
Until one day, Teacher Fulan suddenly had a whim and proposed to take a quiz. Confused, Irena was forced to accept.
On one side is a 14-year-old apprentice witch, and on the other side is a teacher who has been an official witch for many years. The result, of course, was a fiasco for the former.
Use this as a trigger, plus a month of experience. Aggrieved, angry, unwilling, all kinds of emotions intertwined, Irena could not care about her usual image, like a child howling and crying.
Teacher Fran, who has a gentle personality herself, finally told the truth after seeing all this.
It turned out that whether it was deliberately difficult for her or not teaching her magic, it was all at the request of Irena's parents. The reason why they did this was because they were worried that Irena, who was going well, would make irreparable mistakes sooner or later if she grew up like this.
In order to avoid such consequences, he entrusted Teacher Fran to let her experience some setbacks and failures.
Since they were all entrusted with money, It was not easy for Fran to refuse. Hence the so-called maid-style training method mentioned above.
With the truth revealed, the next two masters and apprentices also officially entered the teaching and learning stage of magic. A year later, when the same contest was played again, Irena defeated Fran for the first time. This was followed by the Certificate of the Witch and the awarding of the title of "Grey Witch".
As for why she got such a name, according to the teacher's explanation, it was because Irena's hair was gray. emm... It's a little too simple and straightforward.-
Of course, no matter what, after experiencing a series of events, our heroine finally fulfilled her original promise and successfully got the title of witch at the age of 15. In this way, she can realize her dream of traveling around the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > travel story</h1>
In the anime, Irena first arrives at the "Magic Kingdom". It is a country where only magic is allowed, and some magic can be seen flying in the sky on broomsticks everywhere in the streets.
Here, because of an unexpected high-altitude collision, she met an important friend in her life, Saya. And from acquaintance to acquaintance, there are actually some small twists and turns.
Saya is a girl who has come from afar to learn magic, and her long life of uprooting has made her feel lonely. It is precisely for this reason that when you see Irena, who also came here from out of town, you will find the right time to collide with her, the purpose is to take away the witch brooch, so as to keep each other.
This approach also fully shows Shaye's childishness and his tendency to rely on others.
In the face of such a lovely and malicious stranger, Irena, who has always been gentle and kind, naturally has no blame. Instead, after listening to the other person's thoughts, he gave her another hat of his own. Taking this as an opportunity, the two also formed an indissoluble relationship.
Subsequent trips, such as an unexpected encounter in the country of honesty, thus beginning to solve the commission together;
He is entangled with the members of the Antique Hall who have fought with Furan and Shira-sensei, and exchanges bodies due to strange roads, and eventually overcomes the danger with mutual cooperation. There will be many more encounters between them.
Of course, there are not only pleasant experiences on the journey, but also occasionally regrettable and even sad stories.
Take the phrase "a girl as cute as a flower." The originally beautiful flower fields actually grew up by absorbing the magic of others. The strange girl that Irena had seen passing by during the day had turned into a plant at night.
And the brother who followed her inevitably fell into the same fate. By the time Irena noticed, it was too late.
Compared with the encounter between the two brothers and sisters, "sadness against the current" can be regarded as the most heart-wrenching story in the anime.
Because her childhood playmate went astray, the Smoked Witch unleashed time magic on the premise of exhausting all her magic and sacrificing her memory, hoping to change her partner's future by going back to the past. But as a result, when she really went back to the past, she found that things were not what she imagined.
The real reason for taking her playmates step by step down the wrong path was actually her parents. This means that the seeds of tragedy have been sown at least when the other person is born.
This sense of despair, powerless to change the status quo, while cloaking the smoked witch in the cloak of a tragic character, also allows the gray witch Irena to participate as a bystander and witness everything, adding an indelible heart-wrenching story to the diary of the Gray Witch.
In general, as a road-themed work, most of the plot of "Witch Journey" is based on the first perspective of the parties (heroines). And in the original novel and animation, a lot of effort has been made to portray her.
Especially on the anime side, the boastful personal introduction at the time of each episode' debut, combined with a confident and cute expression, is really difficult for people to forget.
