Here are brief introductions, via a press release and the Tales of Blog:
Magilou (voiced in Japanese by Satomi Sato)
Magilou, an unknown woman who proclaims herself to be the “great sorceress” while others see her as the practitioner of “unlicensed witchcraft.” Her free and carefree behavior can make her the life of the party, but this trickster has a hidden dark side towards Velvet.
Bienfu (voiced in Japanese by Nao Nagasawa)
Bienfu, is a peculiar malak (a spiritual being that can harness the power of nature) that has a unique form and personality, often expressing himself by saying, “Bieeen” and “Bad!” Although small in size, he makes up for it with his strength and bravery.
