Meriel

Meriel is a character from Astral Academy.

Clockwork
Meriel was a popular fortune teller known for her wishes to always be true. She was one of the survivors of the destruction fifty years ago. She was motivated to make a magical (and magic-based) school to protect those who have magical powers from destruction. However, she could not make this herself, so she summoned the power of the Hands of The Clock to make it. As the Hands often refused her orders, she decided to give them human vessels so they could act a bit more independetly. She used parts of the Clock Tower to create it, but due to poor management she could not give it a left eye.

However, she still proceeded to move the 12th Hand's soul into it. It was able to control the vessel for a little while, but since the vessel was too "insufficent", it collapsed. Meriel saw this as a failed experiment and trapped him in the supply closet, not caring to remove the 12th Hand's soul.

After this, she completed the construction of the school. However, when requesting the Hands to find students and staff, they completely disobeyed. Meriel couldn't control them due to them manifesting their regular form, also called the "Rage" form by history books. They cornered Meriel and killed her, and then used her body to do their job. They also threw her in a closet, in the same way she did Erizu.

After a few weeks, she reincarnated as Anon, a ghost with no memories. However, he decided to make himself the school principal.

Trivia

 * Ironically, while she made the school to protect magical students from further destruction, the power of the school does just the opposite of that.
