マッチ

The protagonist of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl". She's named Match, after her occupation. She is corrupted by one of Grimoire's parasitic worms, Andersen calls in Eito and Tale in a bid to exorcise the worm without physically harming Match.

The matches she carries can burn worms to cinders. The matches also have the power of illusion, they draw out and show the viewer's deepest desires, if only for a moment. Abuse of the matches can make viewers addicted to the visions.

 A gyaru match seller who would much prefer making money charming men rather than selling matches, Match is frustrated with her established role in her tragic story and would much prefer living life the way she pleases. She argues with Andersen a lot, and sometimes gets into snowball fights in the eternal Christmas that is Odense. Despite their arguments, the pair get along like a genuine pair of sisters and Match cares for Andersen enough to deliberately adopt a provocative stance in a bid to force Andersen out of her shell and be more assertive.

Because she is perennially impecunious, Match has mastered the art of extracting the maximum out of the minimal resources she has. She also has a good heart and is willing to give up presents given to her for children she believes need it more than she does.  /
