Indicus

Indicus (also spelled Intix), nicknamed Kuina during her Debauchery Tea Party days, is an Elf Sorcerer-Elder Maid in Elder Tale and a former member of the now disbanded Debauchery Tea Party. Currently, she is a member of Plant Hwyaden, serving as the true leader of Minami by manipulating Nureha into doing her bidding, and the second seat in the Ten-Seat Council.

Appearance
She has short purple hair, wears a maid-like outfit with a secretary straight skirt and glasses, and uses countless silver knives as weapons. Although her weapons haven't been seen in either the light novel or the anime, the light novel's illustrator, Hara Kazuhiro, depicted her with them in a book he sold at Otaku Summit 2015.

Indicus has two outfits; her formal maid outfit, and her maid-like battle outfit. She is never seen in her battle outfit during the current events of the second season (and does not appear in the first), but it can be seen in a glimpse of the Tea Party members in the opening, and in a flashback to the Tea Party members.

Although she was stated to be beautiful even in real life, it is unknown whether or not Shiroe ever met her, considering that it was also mentioned that she always had her tablet camera facing the ceiling so that nobody would see her.

Personality
Indicus seems easily angered by the pettiest of reasons, developing a massive vendetta against Kanami simply because Kanami's departure from the group effectively broke it up; while she was also angry at Naotsugu for leaving, her grudge against him isn't nearly as strong as her grudge against Kanami.

As a result of her vendetta, she wishes to create rifts between the Debauchery Tea Party's former members and is rather overconfident in her ability to do so, dismissing even the Party's former strategist Shiroe. Even during the Tea Party days, she disliked every member aside from Kanami.

She has no qualms with psychological abusing Nureha, constantly telling her that Shiroe would never love her because of her background, and telling her that she "stinks like the sewers."

Indicus herself seems to be psychologically frail, depending on merits in the game for self-worth and suffering a severe breakdown when Kanami announced she was retiring. She begged other close members of the Tea Party to try and dissuade Kanami, even imploring people she hated (Shiroe) to try and do so. When they refused to do so, and Kanami left, Indicus decided that Kanami ran away like a coward and vowed to continue the Tea Party without her.

Prior to the Catastrophe
Back in her junior high years, Indicus and Nureha were classmates, which is how Indicus knows Nureha's history.

Indicus is described as a talented but imposing woman who took great care from day-to-day to push the Tea Party up through the ranks of the server. It was stated that she was rather beautiful and sociable, although it is unknown if Shiroe ever met her in real life. Along with Shiroe and KR, Indicus served as one of the three advisors of the Tea Party, and was in charge of public relations to remain fourth-best in the server and kept rumors about them from spreading. Because Indicus wanted to participate in the offline meetings and see real-life Kanami, KR sent her a tablet. However, Indicus always had the camera pointed towards the ceiling.

During her time in Debauchery Tea Party, Indicus deeply respected Kanami and was a faithful maid to her, although she was callous towards its other members. She was obsessed with making the Tea Party the #1 large-scale raiders, seeing Kanami as the most important piece in the plan. However, when Kanami announced that she would stop playing Elder Tale due to real life priorities, her adoration warped into spiteful hatred. At first, she pleaded with Suikazura, Kazuhiko, KR, and even Shiroe, begging them to change Kanami's mind, but they refused to. Once Kanami left, Indicus viewed it as a cowardly betrayal and became obsessed with continuing the Tea Party without her. Kazuhiko dealt with her temper tantrums while KR went to the other members to get them to leave the group before anything worse happened. Once Naotsugu left the game due to his job, it solidified the group's dissolution, much to Indicus' anger. Her worsened tantrums drove away the group's friendliest members, Shiroe and Soujiro.

Gold of the Kunie arc
Now, Indicus serves as Nureha's maid and is in charge of Plant Hwyaden's opposition of People of the Land's political measures, and is also in charge of Adventurer's policies.

She fanatically believes in forcing Nureha into an 'Eternal Ruler' image, bringing madness to the Town of Minami and steadily summoning dark clouds. Through unknown means, she is aware of Nureha's upbringing and uses that to her advantage. When Nureha is laying on the ground by herself, Indicus reprimands her for straying from her bed again, telling her that it was worthless to visit Shiroe, whom she deemed as "useless," and consistently presses Nureha's weak points before leaving with a small kind word of sympathy.

Soon afterwards, she appears before the Ten Seat Conference after calling for a meeting "when the moon rises."

Homesteading the Noosphere arc
After the Shibuya Raid Team clears the Calling Fortress raid, causing the Eternal Moths to stop spawning, Indicus protests when Kazuhiko tells her to stop the war on Eastal, demanding to know if he meant that she would have to work with the "traitor Shiroe." When Nureha orders Indicus to restore normal relations with Eastal, Indicus attempts to punch Nureha for disobeying her, but is stopped by Kazuhiko. She begrudgingly obeys Nureha, but smirks to herself after KR states that the Round Table Alliance would likely contact them first.

Collapse of the Round Table arc
Following Nureha's rebellion, Indicus' faction and Nureha's faction have been at war with each other for control of the city and the People of the Land population.

Equipment
Indicus dons maid-like clothing as her casual attire. She uses countless knives as weapons.

Trivia

 * Her name is occasionally misspelled as 'Inctis' or 'Intix'. Interestingly, Crunchyroll initially called her 'Intix', but corrected it to her proper name by the final episode.
 * Rallus indicus is the academic name for "Kuina" (秧鶏), the Japanese Brown-cheeked Rail, which is the origin of her nickname.
