Roberta (ROBERTA) is one of the witches that appeared in Episode 10.
The birdcage witch. Her nature is rage. She continuously stamps her feet inside her cage, directing her rage at those who do not respond to her. This witch is extremely fond of alcohol, and her minions also get drunk very easily. |
Minions
The birdcage witch's minion. His duty is act with frivolous indiscretion. These birds that swarm together are idiotic men.
