Summary
A masked Magical Girl who fights in the shadows for the English in the Hundred Years' War. The second sister of three, and like her mother, adores her family. This love does not spill over to her enemies, though. For nothing excites her more than a strong opponent, it's what she lives for.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of masochism. Its form is a moon-cawing crow. The master of this emotion rushes about in a wild, mad frenzy, and loses her mind with joy… As the physical manifestation of such unbecoming tastes, this Doppel takes the form of a crow that caws in enjoyment of the moonlit night. An aberrantly-shaped being that strikes dread in the hearts of all who see it, born from the final throes of manic revelry. Those who confront this Doppel are sure to feel terror from the very bottom of their hearts. But this is no ordinary fear– as the sort of fear that can be engendered only by those who live their lives on Death’s door, those who taste it will have their sense of self destroyed, and eventually be led to insanity.

April, 1429: France – Orléans Outskirts Back at their camp, Lapin asks Corbeau how the battle went. Corbeau sighs, saying the French weren’t even worth her presence. Lapin giggles, calling all the humans too weak for someone like Corbeau. Corbeau agrees, which is the problem. All she really wants is uncertain victory, a real battle to the death. Lapin says she should have gone, as she’d have had plenty of fun breaking the little weaklings and hearing their cries. Corbeau complains about how weak and cowardly the English forces are, causing her to go in herself and clean up their messes. She thinks Lapin is too important to have her dirtying her hands in battles that aren’t important. Lapin calls her the best and glomps onto Corbeau. Minou appears, pretending to be jealous at how well they’re getting along. Lapin is all too happy to see her other younger sister and gives her a big hug as well before Corbeau relates her dilemma to Minou. Hearing the problem, Minou guesses that the only person who could meet Corbeau’s expectations might be La Pucelle herself. Lapin believes that La Pucelle must be a Magical Girl too, which means she’ll be no match for Corbeau’s ability. Corbeau agrees, since it would be no fun to rain magic down on her enemy and have her Soul Gem turn black in the first five minutes of battle. Minou asks what happened to the girl that Corbeau took with her to battle. Corbeau explains that the girl took the brunt of her impurities and turned into a Witch. Minou calls it a shame, since she’ll have to find a replacement. Thankfully, she brought one with her and displays the girl to her sisters. Despite how recently the girl had contracted, Corbeau decides to take her with her on her next battle. She asks when she will be able to do battle with La Pucelle and Minou promises her it will be soon. It seems La Pucelle has joined the French forces and is due to arrive in Orléans within the month where she will confront the sisters directly. When asked how she could be so certain of this, Minou claims she “saw” the future. Lapin and Corbeau ask how that’s possible. Minou explains that she saw their benefactor recently. She told Minou to “have a vision of the future” and explained that tiny ripples from the future have caused a disturbance in time. When prompted by Lapin once more on how she was able to see the future, Minou giggles and reminds her that’s what their Magical Girl slaves are for, indicating the newly contracted girl she brought with her. Nodding in understanding, Corbeau asks her to continue her story. Minou asks them to prepare for this news, as she relates what she saw in her vision of the future: their benefactor’s wish is destroyed at the hands of La Pucelle while she herself turns into nothing more than a silent corpse. Corbeau is outraged at this news. How can France be saved by one girl when they’re already on the brink of utter collapse. Minou finds it also hard to believe, but she knows what she saw was true hence why she rushed to inform her sisters of what she saw before anyone else. Corbeau then asks her what happens to Minou and Lapin in the future. Minou isn’t certain, as she can’t see all of the future. But if their benefactor is reduced to nothing, than their futures can’t be that bright either. Corbeau asks if there isn’t anything they can do. Minou has an idea. In the future she saw, Tart began by first leading the French forces into liberating Orléans. After that, she helps the heir to the French crown become coronated as king. If they can erase her from history before any of that comes to pass, then they will be successful in changing history. Minou shows her sisters a magic grimoire she found that contains a spell to trap people in a never-ending dream. If they use this spell to trap Tart in an endless nightmare, than no matter how powerful she may be she is still a Magical Girl and will surely despair and become a Witch. All they need now is a strand of La Pucelle’s hair for the spell to work. Once they cast the spell, Corbeau will invade Tart’s dreams and wreak havoc to her heart’s content. Lapin wants to go too, but Minou warns her against joining Corbeau since her ability will simply end up corrupting Lapin’s Soul Gem instead. Lapin relents while Corbeau agrees to the plan. April 29, 1429: Cathedral of the Holy Cross - Orléans Minou reports that La Pucelle is now asleep after having entered Orléans. However, she underestimated the huge impact La Pucelle’s fate has as all the people who hold a deep affinity with her have also been drawn into her dream. Not just the commanders Gilles and La Hire, but even the crown prince was dragged into it. But so long as Tart sleeps, they’ll stay trapped within her dream. So if Corbeau invades her dreams and causes Tart to Witch out, then the French forces will be completely annihilated. Corbeau prepares to invade Tart’s dream, but not before warning Minou and Lapin to stay away from her while she’s in there. Otherwise they’re liable to absorb Corbeau’s impurities themselves and cause their Soul Gems to become tainted. Minou leaves the Magical Girl slave to stand by and watch over Corbeau’s tent. Minou places a red and blue candle by Corbeau’s bedside so she can enter Tart’s dream and leaves. Corbeau falls asleep and finds herself in a pitch-black void. It is the realm between dreams and reality. As she looks around herself, she spies a beacon of light in the distance. Figuring it to be Tart’s dream, Corbeau attempts to enter the light only to be repelled. Orléans Outskirts – Within La Pucelle’s Dream May, 1429 – Allied English Forces Camp Just then Minou appears, looking for her sisters. It seems that a French spy was able to infiltrate Corbeau’s tent in the middle of the night and took the candles. Even though they can replace the candles, it’s possible the French were able to figure out their plan. Instead of being distraught at this turn of events, Corbeau only smiles broadly and laughs in joy. She thinks this will make the fight more interesting. Within La Pucelle’s Dream May, 1429 – United English Forces Camp Several days later… Shortly after… Once more Corbeau ventures into the void between dreams and reality. And just like before, Tart’s dreams attempt to repel Corbeau and prevent her from entering. But Corbeau has gotten used to this and knows she just needs to keep pushing towards the place where the resistance is strongest. Within Tart’s dream… May, 1429 – United English Forces Camp Corbeau considers using a girl’s wish to seal her power and prevent her from forcing her impurities on others. That way her sisters stay out of harm’s way. Also, Corbeau thinks it wouldn’t be any fun if she won the battle using this ability and would gain a new power in its place, one that could be more helpful to her sisters. It would cost them an eligible maiden, but Corbeau believes it’s worth the price if it means she can more easily protect her sisters in the upcoming battles. Minou thinks for a moment, hesitating before she agrees with Corbeau so long as it is in line with their benefactor’s will. Internally, Minou believes that they shouldn’t do it if it is only for their own sakes. Minou changes the subject, saying they can discuss all of this tomorrow. For tonight, she suggests they take that nice, long soak together they’d been looking forward to. Minou has already made arrangements for their bath. Refreshed after soaking in hot water together, Corbeau and Lapin thank Minou for the arrangements. Corbeau is particularly proud of her younger sister, who is all too glad to hold up their promise to each other. |

Abilities
As explained in her personal story, Corbeau's original wish-given magic was the ability to push her magic usage onto other soul gems within a 50 meter radius of herself (essentially, so long as another soul gem was within range, they would bear the burden of her magic usage; thus, her soul gem never darkened).
She eventually abandoned (as the game says, "sealed away") this power and replaced it with other abilities by having other magical girls contract with her mother for Corbeau's benefit.
She also has the ability to use a powerful magical attack called 'La Danse Macabre' (referred to by her as "'Death Dance' magic" in the NA translation) that inflicts everyone in her surroundings with the Bubonic plague.
Trivia
- Her Magia causing Poison and having chance to Curse reflects the same attack in Tart Magica, where the feathers cause the bubonic plague. As an extension, her doppel summons rats, as they were known to spread said illness (although, to be more precisely, the lice on the rats carried it in particular).
- Her magia is also French for "The dance of death". A personification of death itself.
- Her Doppel's name means "Pleasure" in french.
- There is a error where during her doppel attack she has Hazuki Yusa's Doppel Tagitu's runes appear, instead of her own doppels name.

| **Unique to Corbeau** A shadow lurks on the other side of the flimsy curtain. Though addressed in awed tones as a "benefactor", it can no longer be called human. It was the darkness that cloaked Europe itself. | 薄布の向こうに浮かぶ影を

| "Corbeau, Minou! We HAVE to come here to soak again, all three of us!" "I've got no problems with that... How about you, Minou?" "Oh, you needn't ask. As long as it doesn't impede our benefactor's plan, I'll gladly go anytime." | 「コルボー、ミヌゥ！今度もまた3人で、湯浴みに行こうねっ！」

"No one can complain because it was decided by the school rules, right?" "By the way, masks are prohibited per school regulations, so it's actually a violation of the school's rules" "Yeah, yeah! ....wait, huh!?" | 「黒い制服も、メイドの絶対服従も、生徒会だけに許された特権ですわ」
