Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom
Lv Ⅰ   -2

Torn Off Wisdom
[Single Ally]
Whenever the librarian uses a page, discard a random page from hand and restore 1 Light. (Excludes [On Play] pages)

When he returned, he had a visibly long scar on his head. People asked him how he felt, and he responded that his head felt lighter.

  • Wisdom… Give me the wisdom I lack…
  • My head is all empty… I’m just a dowdy pile of hay…
  • People often talk without thinking… I could make better use of those brains…
  • I wonder how it feels to be wise… To know everything…
  • I’m fine with detaching the head if it can get better once it comes back together…
Lv Ⅰ   1

Gleaning
[Single Ally]
After attacking an enemy with a higher amount of Stagger Resist, deal 2-4 bonus Stagger damage, and recover 2-5 Stagger Resist.(Excludes Mass Attacks)

It shows aggression towards certain employees, attempting to take their brains. These employees are those who scored “Excellent” on the intelligence test.

  • I feel much smarter… I can know anything now…
  • Good… Very good… I’ll be smarter the more I eat, right…?
  • Have I become wiser…? Maybe I’ll be more than a stack of hay…
Lv Ⅰ   3

Rake
[Single Ally]
After Staggering an enemy, copy two pages owned by that enemy and add them to the librarian’s hand with 2 less Cost.
The copied pages are exhausted on use.
(Can only copy Melee pages while equipping a Melee-only Key page, and vice versa; no effect against characters with ‘Shimmering’)

The rake tilled the human brain instead of farmland. How many of the wise people among us have lost their lives to this rake?

  • I’ll scrape your wisdom…
  • I want to be smart like the others…
  • The wisdom to move forward… I want it…
Warm-hearted Woodsman
Lv Ⅱ   -1

A Warm Heart
[Single Ally]
At the start of the Scene, boost the Power of Offensive dice by +1-2 for the Scene if the librarian has 3 or more Light.

In anger, he swung his axe through the wizard’s heart. The warm heart was pulsing vigorously.

  • This is… how it feels to have a thumping heart…
  • The louder the heart echoes… the faster I move…
  • The kinder the owner of the heart was… the warmer my insides become…
  • The heart is a peculiar thing… I can laugh now…
Lv Ⅰ   -1

Timber
[Single Ally]
When attacking a target that has more Light than the librarian, Offensive dice gain Power equal to the amount of Light the target has. (Up to 2)

This is a forest full of hearts. No matter how many he cuts down, the forest still remains dense.

  • I chop, and chop… Yet the forest remains dense…
  • I want to be warm… I need something stronger…
  • I crammed all I could find into this empty canister… yet it is… still cold…
  • To cut more trees, I never neglected sharpening the axe…
Lv Ⅰ   2

Cardiae
[Single Ally]
After dealing 15 or more damage to enemies in a single Scene, reduce the Cost of the two most expensive pages in hand by 1.
On kill, reduce the Cost to 0 instead.

There will never be enough hearts. Once a Woodsman, he now fells people instead of trees.

  • I require an object… to fill this empty void…
  • I do not want to feel this empty and lonely feeling anymore…
  • The heart made of lead… was stiff and cold.
  • I clutched my empty chest and grieved…
The Road Home & Scaredy Cat

Courage
[Single Ally]

Lv Ⅱ   1

A Road Walked Together
[Single Ally]
If an ally redirects an attack that was initially targeting this character, dice on that ally’s page gain 1-2 Power in the clash.

Let’s walk together. To a wonderful land… The world of dreams.

  • I was sound asleep, then the adventure suddenly began.
  • Hoyoyo~ Let’s go, together~!
  • Let’s skip home together!
  • There must be a beautiful wonderland at the end of the road…
Ozma

Power of the Past

Ozma held the pumpkin-carving knife, then took off running towards where the lady wizard should be.

  • I’m Ozma… A single person took everything away from me…
  • I don’t want to live a life of being thieved any longer…
  • I want you to feel it all the same… The misery of forgetting it all… losing it all…
  • I’ll be the one to take things away this time…

There was such a fine and beautiful person, staring at her with a perplexed expression.

  • Why did I trust a stranger so naively… Why…
  • I haven’t even touched my face… I was so afraid…
  • Staying alive is all I can do in a life like this…
  • A forgotten being stuck in the underground… Why did it have to be…

Oz came up with a brilliant idea. Her emerald eyes seemed to shine even brighter.

Poor Ozma. She didn’t know that lying adults don’t approach others without reason.
