Tart

Tart's History

Tart was the eldest of her siblings in a family of seven, living with her mother Isabelle D' Arc, father Jacques D' Arc, sister Cathrine D' Arc, and Jacquemin, Pierre, and Jean D' Arc, her brothers in the village of Domremy in France.

One day, while walking home from church, Tart and Catherine ventured into the woods, following a mysterious light. The light is revealed to be a witch's familiar, and the grief seed containing the witch soon hatches. Soldiers with witch-kisses attack Tart after Catherine faints. All hope seems lost until Kyubey and Riz Hawkwood arrive.

Riz quickly disposes of the witch and reveals herself to be a puella magi. Tart is amazed by the black haired girl and faints from the experience. Tart's family arrives, looking for their daughter, and Riz is welcomed with open arms.

Once Tart awakens, Kyubey gives her the choice of making a contract. Though Tart says she is unsure, Jacques offers Riz a job as a village guard. Riz agrees, partly in order to see if Tart decides on a wish.

As the years pass, Riz teaches Catherine and Tart sword-fighting. Though Catherine quickly picks up the skill, Tart struggles.

After three years, Riz and Kyubey leave the village, as Tart has still not decided on a wish. Bandits take advantage of Riz's absence to pillage and burn down the village. Catherine attempts to stand up to them, but she is easily slaughtered.

Riz and Kyubey hurry back, and Tart asks if they can return the village to its previous state and resurrect her sister. Kyubey says (s)he can, but while the war goes on, any of her family could be killed. Therefore, Tart wishes for the power to bring light to France.

Before leaving the village, Tart visits Catherine's grave, and cuts off her hair before placing it there.
