Ellie Walker starts out as a private tutor—and later personal maid—to Tina, the daughter of a duke. He's the kind of person you'd describe as genuinely caring and easygoing, not the type to make a fuss about things.
What makes him stand out isn't raw magical power. He's actually got less mana than most people, which is kind of a handicap in a world where that stuff matters. But here's the thing: when it comes to actually using magic, knowing how it works, and controlling it precisely, he's basically got no equal. His knowledge and technique more than make up for what he lacks in natural reserves.
His academic record is genuinely impressive. He blazed through the Royal Academy in a single year when normal students take three, graduating second in his class. He pulled off the same feat at the Royal University—finishing his degree in three years while coming in second again—though fans often note this is partly because he had to deal with Lydia the whole time, who's been described as something of an "albatross around his neck" throughout his studies.
