One day, a ceremony takes place wherein each student must call forth an entity called as a familiar spirit. With Louise, hers comes in the form of an average boy named Saito Hiraga. He was transported from his world to Louise's, and, as her familiar spirit, he must live with her as his master.

Louise Franoise le Blanc de la Vallire (ルイズフランソワーズルブランドラヴァリエール, Ruizu Furansowāzu ru Buran do ra Variēru) is a sophomore void mage at Tristain Academy of Magic, where she was infamously known as "Louise the Zero" because of her consistency in casting failures while performing magic. She was able to summon a human familiar spirit, Saito Hiraga. When Henrietta de Tristain adopted Louise as her sister, she became the heir presumptive to the throne of Tristain, becoming the kingdom's crown princess.
Louise is the third and youngest daughter of Sandorion de la Vallire and Karin de la Vallire. She always argues with her eldest sister, Elonore, but is very attached to her older sister, Cattleya. She was adopted by her childhood friend, Princess, and later Queen of Tristain, Henrietta de Tristain, making her the Crown Princess to the throne of the kingdom. At one point in her life, Louise encounters Viscount Wardes, her erstwhile fianc, on a boat, who promises her to converse with her father whom she presumably had a disagreement with.[1]
Louise has long, curly, pink hair that reaches her back and complementary pink eyes. She noticeably resembles her sister Cattleya, as Saito once commented that Louise might look like Cattleya when she grows up. Compared to the other females from her Academy, Louise has a small bust, which is considerably a running gag in the series often used to be the focus of comparison when Saito allegedly cheats on other girls because of their larger bust. As a student in the Academy, her uniform consists of a white long-sleeved blouse underneath a long, black cloak that reaches her feet, pinned into a spherical, bronze clasp like the rest of the Academy students. She also wears a short, black, pleated skirt and a pair of black thigh stockings with black, low-heeled Mary Jane shoes. As a mage, she is shown to carry her wand with her at all times.
During their mission ordered by Henrietta, Louise and Saito head out in a village, wherein Louise dressed as a plebeian. Her outfit remains simple, consisting of a brown dress, brown cap, sandals, and a silver, circular necklace. During the same day, Louise unexpectedly works at the Charming Fairy Inn (albeit temporarily) and was required to wear the tavern's signature look, which included a short, white, bustier-esque maid attire with skirt tied with a black ribbon at the back; ruffled headband; white, lace choker with black accents; white ankle socks; black flats; and white arm warmers. On her upper left thigh is a thick lace band, which she used to fasten her wand underneath her skirt. When she won the Tip Race, she wears the bustier that is similar to her maid outfit, but is mostly black in colour. She wore long, black stockings and black sandals.
