ノルン・カンパーニ

Human apprentice demonslayer.

Over a decade ago, she lost her parents when Zenohemia and the five witches destroyed Regulus island and its kingdom. Since then, she runs an apothecary in the town of Ferio together with her sister Marta.

Always smiling and possessing a bright disposition unfazed by anything, her personality compels her to reach out to people in need. For the most part she is positive and has an optimistic mindset, but once she's depressed she remains stuck in a rut.

She loathes the demon (Veronica) who killed her parents and has been training in secret to avenge her parents. Upon meeting Gilbert, she leaves town and goes on a journey to aid those oppressed by the demons.

An extremely good cook, her pack is crammed with an immense number of cooking utensils which she justifies as "essential equipment for adventuring"

 After Gil killed Schtoll, Veronica appeared and pierced Norn's heart with a magic attack. As she lay dying, Gilbert performed a ritual over her which transferred his dagger demon into her to keep her alive. While she was unconscious, she dreamed about Gil's past and his first encounter with Zenohemia. After regaining consciousness, Gil gave her the choice of living on with demonic possession, or dying as a human after he removed the demon keeping her alive. She chose to live, and resolved to travel together with Gilbert as an apprentice demonslayer.

Nio speculates Gil is especially soft towards Norn because he sees her as a reflection of himself during Zenohemia's attack and of his lost younger sister Alise. Indeed, her face is the first thing which comes to mind when he wavers about leaving the world for good. 

Because she is demonically possessed, she does not require special weapons or abilities to harm demons. The dagger previously inhabited by Gil's demon is gifted to her as her first weapon. 

The demon who saved her life was extremely weak, had almost no sense of self and never spoke to Gil while contracted to him. Because of this she is never at any risk of the demon taking control over her. Instead, she inherits the demon's ability to sense others of its kind and she is frequently employed as the party's "demon radar" as she can smell demons from long distances.

Her adventures with Gil's party allow her to roam Regulus island and cook all of the exotic dishes listed in her thick cookbook tome. Her dream after the island is liberated of demons is to open a restaurant with her sister Marta, but Gil tells her she can only do this after she is human again, or else her eternal youth thanks to demonic possession will draw unwanted attention from the Church. She resolves to accompany Gil when he finally returns to the Continent to look for a skilled exorcist capable of reconstructing her destroyed heart in addition to exorcising Gil's dagger demon. /
