Sei Takanashi

Sei Takanashi (小鳥遊 聖 / セイ, Takanashi Sei / Sei) is a main protagonist of The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent.

About
She is an office lady in her twenties who was summoned by the Saint Summoning Ritual. Her saintly powers enhance her abilities by fifty percent, due to her appearance she was not crowned as Saint. Accidentally making scenes with her research, she is on the verge of being found out as the saint. But after seeing her abilities she was finally been recognized as the Saint. She likes to cook and make cosmetics in her spare time. She owns a cosmetic business in the capital.

Appearance
Originally she had worn her hair up, had glasses, and had dark circles under her eyes (because she had been overworking). Now she no longer wears her glasses because due to her potions her eyesight had gotten better. After a couple months of being summoned and getting enough sleep her dark circles faded so her natural beauty had came out. Now she often wears her hair down and wears a red gown with golden swirl designs.

She particularly dislikes the modesty values of Salutania; since she's forced to cover more skin than she's used to (finding it uncomfortable because it causes her to overheat).

Personality
Sei has emotional maturity than many characters. She can be shocked or angry, but is still able to see the positive sides to her situation. She can act pragmatically even while remaining disgruntled. She also displays a sense of joyous wonder toward fantasy staples like magic and potions despite being summoned to another world. She also understands her situation wisely and tries to act calmly. She often internally shrieks whenever she thinks of her beloved Albert.

Summary
The moment Sei, an office lady in her twenties, got home from working overtime at the office, she was abruptly summoned to another world. Although Sei was summoned to be the Saint, the crown prince of the kingdom exited the room with Aira Misono only, the cute high school girl who had been summoned with Sei, leaving Sei behind.

Sei had no notion of how to return to Japan, so she soon decided to begin working at the palace's Research Institute of Medicinal Flora.

Although she realized that she was indeed the Saint, Sei concealed the truth in order to live her life as an ordinary person. However Sei displayed tremendous magical ability, astounding everyone with her skills in potion-making, cooking, and concocting cosmetics.

Starting from the day she used one of her high-grade HP potions to save Knight Commander Albert Hawke's life, Sei performed one miracle after another. In time, rumors in the place began to suggest that Sei Takanashi was the true Saint.

Although she was summoned by the Royal Magi Assembly to be the Saint, Sei managed to avoid being outed for some time. She took up intensive magical training under the guidance of Grand Magus Yuri Drewes, and her days were busy yet fulfilling.

Perhaps as a result of her training, or perhaps because of another miracle with her gold-colored magic, it strengthened suspicions that she was the Saint. However, Crown Prince Kyle denounced those suspicious, stubbornly upholding Aira as the true Saint.

However, on a monster-slaying expedition, Sei once and for all proved her Sainthood. When Knight Commander Albert Hawke was in danger, Sei called on her golden magic to instantly cleanse the black miasma producing the monsters.

As a result, Crown Prince Kyle was confined to his quarters for accusing Sei of being a false Saint. Furthermore, Aira, who had been isolated by Kyle once she arrived in the kingdom, was finally able to make friends at the academy, and with Sei. She, too, now strives for a peaceful life.

Abilities
Sei displayed tremendous magical ability, astounding everyone with her skills in potion-making, cooking, and concocting cosmetics.

Gold-colored magic
Sei's gold-colored magic is very strong that she was easily able to cleanse the black miasma producing the monsters. This is also visible on her heal spells when Yuri Drewes compare his to her: Sei's heal spell shows some golden sparkles while in Drewes's case it doesn't.

In the tome written by the great alchemist, it is said that the saint's magic comes from the power of love. An important example of that is shown when Sei uses her magic to save Albert Hawke as she has a strong relationship with him.

Healing
Sei was able to heal several soldiers after a mission using her healing powers. When she noticed Wolff's hand was missing, she was successfully able to re-heal his whole hand. Then, she visited all remaining rooms and healed the soldiers. Using a high level "Area spell", she channeled her power throughout her whole body and healed multiple soldiers in one room.

Potions
Sei can create high-grade HP potions which can be very effective as she was able to save Knight Commander Albert Hawke's life. And the potions also helped aid one of the members of Captain Ceyran's crew.

Potions made by Sei have a 50% increase in efficacy due to being the saint.

Cooking

 * Sei likes to cook for her self. It is because the meals in the research center weren't quite as good.

Sei came along and made the lunch in one of the knight expedition which resulted with the knights having their physical ability increased.

Just like potions, her cooking has a 50% increase in efficacy for being a saint.

Unnamed father
During Sei and Albert's date, Sei had mentioned that she no romantic experience. The only guy she had ever hanged out alone was her father.

Albert Hawke
Ever since Sei has healed Albert Hawke with the potion she made, they have been escalating a good relationships to each other. Albert is seen as Sei's main love interest and becomes her fiancee later on in the story. Sei gets nervous around him and accept Hawke as a date for formal dinners. Liz mentions that Sei seems to be "in love" and notices how much happier she is after hanging out with Albert.

After Hawke kisses her hand, she can't stop thinking about it and continuously blushes.

Albert had proposed to Sei. They were both meeting up towards the evening for a date. Since it was somewhat cold, she decided to wear a coat that had fur. The commander’s clothes when he got off the carriage were also different from when he went to the royal capital before, and they were decorated with gorgeous embroidery to show that he was a noble.

The original grove had turned into something frozen, glistening in the light of the setting sun. He recreated the story he heard from her about the Christmas lights. She had told him about how they decorated during the cold months of the season in her past world. Hawke uses his ice attributes magic to create a frozen tree found within the scenery. And when she turned to the leader to thank him for what he did, he grabbed her right hand for some reason. When Sei had looked up to ask about his true intentions, she met the head with a serious expression. Grabbing her right hand with both of his hands, Commander Hawke opened his mouth and said, “I like you. Please marry me.”

In response to the proposal from Albert Hawke, she confesses she also likes him as well. And he pulls her into his arms and hugs her closely.

Unnamed niece/nephew-in-law
