Lena Headey (/ˈliːnə ˈhiːdi/ LEE-nə HEED-ee; born 3 October 1973)[1] is an English actress, voice actress and film producer.
After being scouted at age 17, Headey worked steadily as an actress in small and supporting roles in films throughout the 1990s, before finding fame for her lead performances in big-budget films such as the fantasy film The Brothers Grimm (2005), the action film 300 (2007), portraying Gorgo, Queen of Sparta, and the adventure and biographical film The Red Baron (2008).
Headey is best known for portraying Cersei Lannister in HBO's hit fantasy series Game of Thrones since 2011, a performance that has earned her three consecutive Emmy award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (2014–16) and a Golden Globe Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film in 2016. In 2017, Headey became one of the highest paid actors on television and could earn up to £2 million per episode of Game of Thrones (based on shared percentages of syndication payments).[2][3] She also played the title character Sarah Connor on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the villainous drug lord Madeline "Ma-Ma" Madrigal in Dredd.

Early life[edit]
Headey was born in Hamilton, Bermuda, the daughter of Sue and John Headey.[1] Her father, a Yorkshire police officer, was stationed there at the time. She has one younger brother, Tim.[4] The family moved to Somerset when she was five, and then to Shelley, West Yorkshire, when Headey was 11.[5] As a child, she took ballet lessons, before being told to stop.[6]
Headey had her first experience of acting when she was a pupil at Shelley College; she was noticed at age 17, when performing in a school production at the Royal National Theatre, and was picked for a role in the 1992 film Waterland.[7]
Career[edit]
1990s: Debut and early roles[edit]
At the age of 17, Headey performed in a one-off show and afterwards a casting agent took a photo and asked her to audition. Later, she got a supporting role in the drama Waterland, in which she had the opportunity to work with actors who had been in the business several years before her. She had a small role in The Remains of the Day, which came out in 1993 and received eight Academy Awards nominations.
She played Katherine in Disney's The Jungle Book, released in 1994. The film had positive reviews and earned nearly $44 million in the United States. Headey, alongside her co-stars received favourable reviews with James Berardinelli praising their "solid performances".[8] On the set of The Jungle Book, she met her boyfriend of nine years, actor Jason Flemyng.[citation needed]
After a number of film roles, she appeared opposite Vanessa Redgrave in the 1997 romantic drama Mrs Dalloway. Headey landed a supporting role in a higher-profile film titled Onegin, which starred Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler. The following year, she had the starring role in the drama Aberdeen. Headey received several good reviews for her performance in the film.[citation needed] She also had roles in 2000's Gossip and 2001's The Parole Officer.
She received the Silver Iris Award for Best Actress at the 2001 Brussels European Film Festival for her role in Aberdeen. In 2002, she had a role in the mystery drama Possession alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart.
2000s: Rise to prominence[edit]
Headey at the 300 London premiere, 2007
Headey co-starred with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger in Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm, which was released in August 2005. The film received mixed reviews. In an interview Headey spoke about her character in the film: "I loved the fact that she was a tomboy. That is what attracted me to her, that she wasn't this predictable female character in this big film. You meet her and she is masking who she is. I loved that her environment dictated who she is. She lives and grows up and survives in the forest. Terry and I talked about how her instincts are almost animalistic and she can see 360 degrees around her. She is aware of what is going on. That is how she is grounded. She is of the earth".[9]
In 2005, she starred with actress Piper Perabo in the films The Cave and Imagine Me & You. The Cave was not well received by critics[10] and did poorly at the box office.[11]
The romantic comedy-drama Imagine Me & You received a limited release and earned positive reviews. Critics praised Headey's performance as a lesbian in the film; Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle stated that the actress "has a forthright, irresistible appeal and a face and especially a smile that suggest intelligence, integrity and lots of fun".[12]
Headey played Queen Gorgo in Zack Snyder's 300. Headey had to do nude scenes in the film. "It's always weird the thought of taking your clothes off in front of 20 people and then to have it projected in front of many more", she told IndieLondon during an interview. "I think it was necessary because we only get that scene to establish their relationship. It is a very obvious moment but I think it does it in quite a beautiful way."[13]
Headey at the 2007 Scream Awards
In addition to her film work, Headey starred in Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a television spin-off of James Cameron's popular Terminator franchise. Headey played Sarah Connor from January 2008 to April 2009. The show ran for 31 episodes in two seasons until its cancellation in May 2009. Variety praised "Headey's gritty performance as Sarah – managing to be smart, resourceful and tough, yet melancholy and vulnerable as well" and that the Chronicles "continue to deliver", getting "considerable mileage out of the constant peril" facing the characters.[14] She was nominated twice for the Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television for the role.
Headey has also appeared in a number of independent films, such as The Red Baron, a biographical film of the legendary World War I fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, in which she appeared alongside Matthias Schweighöfer and Joseph Fiennes.[15] Her character was the love interest Käte Otersdorf, a nurse who may or may not have had a romance with Richthofen in real life.[16] She also appeared as the stuffy Miss Dickinson in the 2007 release of the St. Trinian's series. She starred in the Ridley Scott produced Tell-Tale, a film based on the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. The movie went straight to DVD on 25 May 2008.[17]
In 2008, Headey starred in the horror film The Broken. The film was directed by Academy Award-nominated Sean Ellis.[18] The film was about "a woman who suspects she's being followed around London by a murderous doppelganger".[19] The Broken was screened at the midnight portion of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and generally got average reviews. Some critics praised Headey's performance, including Kim Koynar of Cinematical who wrote that Headey "largely carries the film, and does so quite ably".[20]
Headey was cast in the lead part in another horror film titled Laid to Rest, which was first screened in 2008. However, the film went straight to video on 21 April 2009 and earned mixed reviews. Critic Mark H. Harris for About.com stated that the film "has a great look and boasts an impressive cast," referring to both Headey and co-star Thomas Dekker.[21] Headey had a part in a short film called The Devil's Wedding. She provided her voice for an episode of the Cartoon Network TV series The Super Hero Squad Show playing Black Widow and Mystique.
2010s: Mainstream success[edit]
Since its premiere in April 2011, Headey has portrayed queen regent Cersei Lannister on the HBO series Game of Thrones, based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels.[22] Headey was cast in the role after her friend and eventual co-star, Peter Dinklage, suggested her casting to producers.[23] Her performance as the ruthless queen has received critical acclaim.[24][25][26] In 2011, she was nominated for a Scream Award in the category of Best Fantasy Actress for the role.[27] Headey was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for portraying Cersei in 2014,[28][29] 2015[30] and 2016.
Headey made a guest appearance in the television show White Collar in the episode "Taking Account" in which she played the role of Sally. In 2012, she appeared in the 3D action science-fiction film Dredd alongside Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby. Her character is Madeline Madrigal (Ma-Ma), the leader of a drug dealing gang, and the project's primary villain.[31] Dredd is a film adaptation of 2000 AD character Judge Dredd.[32] The film was directed by Pete Travis with a script by Alex Garland.[33] In May and June 2012, Lena filmed the fantasy adventure film The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box throughout South West England, playing the role of Monica. The film was released in 2014.[34]
She joined again with Ethan Hawke to co-star in The Purge, a 'micro-budget' horror film, which opened on 7 June 2013 at number one position in the United States, grossing over $US36 million over the weekend.[35]
In 2013, Headey was cast as Jocelyn Fray in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones opposite Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower. The film never received a sequel, and Headey will not reprise her role in the Freeform TV series Shadowhunters.
Following the success of 300, Headey reprised her role as Queen Gorgo in the 2014 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire.
Headey appeared in the 2014 biopic Low Down, a film which detailed the life of jazz pianist Joe Albany, as well as playing the wife of Patrick Wilson's character in Zipper in 2015. In July 2015, it was reported that Headey would voice Jeopardy Mouse in Danger Mouse, a reboot of the 1981 TV series of the same name, which was broadcast on CBBC in late 2015. Headey stated that "I wanted to do it because it was pure nostalgia for me. I have children now and it’s just a treat to be involved in something that you loved as a kid and be able to share it. Those moments as an actor that come along once in a while are not to be missed."[36] She appeared alongside Alexander Armstrong as Danger Mouse and Stephen Fry as Colonel K.[37]
In 2016, Headey co-starred in the horror film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, opposite her former Game of Thrones, Century and The Contractor co-star Charles Dance.
In 2017, Headey provided the voiceover for Mercedes A-Class television advertisement.
Public image[edit]
She has appeared on the covers of TV Guide, G3, Sunday Mirror and Germany's Filmstar. She ranked No. 64 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list. She was listed at No. 4, No. 10 and No. 3 in AfterEllen's list of the Hot 100 in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.[38]
Personal life[edit]
She married musician Peter Loughran in May 2007.[39] Headey and Loughran have a son, Wylie Loughran, who was born on 31 March 2010.[40] She has spoken about suffering from postnatal depression following Wylie's birth.[41] Headey and Loughran separated in 2011, and she filed for divorce in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on 20 July 2012.[39] The divorce was finalised on 26 December 2013.[42]
She was linked to Game of Thrones co-star Jerome Flynn; however, the relationship reportedly ended badly some time before March 2014, resulting in the two being kept apart on set.[43]
On 10 July 2015, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Teddy, with director Dan Cadan (her childhood friend, who also worked with Lena on his short film The Devil's Wedding).[44] The pair is reportedly engaged with plans to marry in summer 2018.[45]
Headey has been close friends with actress Piper Perabo since they starred together in the 2005 films The Cave and Imagine Me & You.[46] Headey is also good friends with her Game of Thrones co-stars Pedro Pascal and Peter Dinklage, the latter of whom first suggested to producers on Game of Thrones that she be cast as Cersei Lannister.[23]
Headey was a vegetarian; however, in a 2011 interview she stated she now eats meat again, albeit rarely.[47]
Headey has a number of tattoos. Her tattoos include a large floral design on her back[48] as well as a Pema Chödrön quote on her ribs.[49] She told Esquire that "I love tattoos. I find it calming."[50] Her tattoos often require covering when Headey works, although she has stated, "you can usually get away with it by keeping your clothes on."[50]
Activism[edit]
Headey has campaigned on behalf of animal rights.[51] In 2008, she spoke out against animal abuse in an advertisement for animal welfare group PETA.[52]
Headey supports the LGBT rights organisation NOH8,[53] and in April 2015 appeared on a T-shirt designed by them and sold through Represent.com to raise funds for the cause.[54]

Characters[edit]
Chise Hatori (羽鳥智世, Hatori Chise)
Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki[4][5][6] (Japanese); Dani Chambers[7] (English)
The protagonist and titular character of the story. She is the apprentice and future bride of Elias Ainsworth. Her father and brother abandoned the family when she was young, and her mother committed suicide in front of her. Feeling unwanted by her relatives, she sold herself into slavery so that she did not have to worry about anything, with Elias purchasing her. She is a Sleigh Beggy, a special magus who can draw magic from her surroundings and within herself, at the cost of dying young because of the strain on her body, hence why Elias took her in, hoping to prevent her death. She has about three years left to live naturally at most.
Elias Ainsworth (エリアス・エインズワース, Eriasu Einzuwāsu)
Voiced by: Ryota Takeuchi[4][5] (Japanese); Brian Mathis[7] (English)
The Child of Thorns, Chise's master and fiancé, once apprenticed to Master Lindenbaum. A being with both fae and human elements, his origins are a mystery. Known as the Thorn Sorcerer, the other faeries see him as an abomination, something he does not mind. Besides using glamour to hide his appearance, he can control and also turn himself into shadows, and when angry enough, he takes on a more monstrous form. He can even change his head to a human’s using magic. Despite claiming to lack human emotions, after some time caring for Chise he has slowly developed a true fondness for her. However, his innate lack of understanding certain human emotions makes Lindenbaum call him a child. One example of this being when Titania and her husband asked about him and Chise having children he felt an "unknown feeling" in his gut he couldn't identify. He dislikes children. He says they do not have magic powers, but they are talented in being able to see the true nature of things, so sometimes he is found out. He is called “Pilum Muralis” by the wizards.
Ruth (ルツ, Rutsu)
Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama[4][5]
Introduced in chapter nine, he is Chise's familiar, a black grim who was originally a church guard dog who chased away grave robbers and evil spirits. He was formally called Ulysse and used to be owned by Isabel in chapter ten. He thinks of himself as a human, thus able to maintain human form, until he remembers who he is in chapter twelve. He shares a mental link with Chise and considers her a sister.
Angelica Varley (アンジェリカ・バーレイ, Anjerika Bārei)
Voiced by: Yūko Kaida[6] (Japanese); Janelle Lutz[7] (English)
Introduced in chapter two, she is an old acquaintance of Elias. She is a witch and a technician of the Magus Craft. She has a daughter named Althea.
Her father was a technician of the Magus Craft. Even though her father was a magician, Angelica, who only had the quality of a sorcerer, could not directly learn the ways of her father. She worked hard to find her own method of performing magic.
Silver (シルキー, Shirukī, "Silky")
Voiced by: Aya Endō[4][5] (Japanese); Rachel Glass[7] (English)
Introduced in chapter two, she is the fairy landlady of the house where Elias and Chise reside. Originally a banshee (chapter twenty four), she is now silent and takes care of the housekeeping duties in the household. She is protective of Chise and has a strong dislike of Simon Kalm, the village priest, glaring at him when he enters Elias house and wrapping her arms around Chise to protect her.

Leanan Sídhe (リャナン・シー, Ryanan Shī)
Introduced in chapter fourteen, she is a beautiful vampire-like faerie who loves men and gives them talent at the cost of dying young. She had strong feelings for an old man named Joel Garland, but denied that they were in love as love would meant his inevitable death. Unfortunately, her presence was already killing him unintentionally at a slow rate. After learning this, Chise created a remedy that allowed them to see each other one last time (chapter twenty two). After Joel's passing, she tells Chise she will be living in Joel’s garden and will not look for more lovers anymore. She later received the name, Redcurrant, as Joel and Chise noted her eyes were the same color as the flower in Joel's Garden.
Simon Kalm (サイモン, Saimon)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (drama CD)[4] (Japanese); Tyler Carson[7] (English)
Introduced in chapter three, he is the priest of the local church in the town in England where Elias and Chise live and is under assignment by his superiors to keep an eye on Elias. He has a breathing condition that is treated by Elias's medicine.
Michael Renfred (レンフレッド, Renfureddo)
Voiced by: Satoshi Hino[8] (Japanese); Jarrod Greene[7] (English)
Introduced in chapter six, he is a wizard who apparently hates Magus and magicians, but at the same time is caring towards his apprentice Alice. He was scarred in the face protecting Alice (chapter twenty seven) and later allowed Cartaphilius to take his left arm as material for an experiment so Alice wouldn't be used instead . He later rebels against Cartaphilius and also becomes interested in finding a way to prevent Chise's premature death.
Alice (アリス, Arisu)
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura[8] (Japanese); Jennifer Green[7] (English)
Introduced in chapter six, she is Renfred's apprentice. A former street urchin, drug abuser and drug seller, Renfred discovered her innate magic potential and took her in as an apprentice, hence her devotion towards him. Despite a few rough meetings with Chise, because of their similar circumstances and having been saved by her, she ends up befriending Chise.
Cartaphilius (カルタフィルス, Karutafirusu, "Cartaphilus")
Voiced by: Ayumu Murase[9]
Introduced in chapter six, he actually dislikes the name "Cartaphilius and prefers to be called Joseph, and is known also as the Wandering Jew, or the “Magician of the Flow”, he is a mysterious being that looks like a young boy, but is much older, so old that he even refers to Ainsworth as "little boy". A long time ago, people said that “God’s Son” cast an immortal curse on him. Holding no clear intention, he’s just a monster that simply does what he feels like and travels around the world experimenting with the living and dead for no clear reason. He has the appearance of a human but the body of a non-human – as seen in chapter eleven when he was struck with a magic bullet. He claims his non-human body experiences constant pain and his one true desire is to be able to live without suffering.

"April showers bring May flowers." October 7, 2017
Hatori Chise is a lonely teenager who has no family and is shunned by society so she sells herself into slavery. During the auction numerous mages bid large sums of money for her, only for the auction to be interrupted by a strange mage named Elias Ainsworth who immediately outbids every other buyer by bidding 5 Million Pounds.
Ainsworth brings Chise to her new home and announces she is to be his apprentice. He then forces her to bathe, during which fairies visit and reveal she is a Sleigh Beggy, a type of mage who unconsciously attracts the love of magical creatures who will help her when she is in need, though help from magical creatures may harm as easily as it helps.
That night the fairies convince Chise to walk through the woods where they attempt to kidnap her to spite Ainsworth. After Chise insists on staying with Ainsworth, who is now her family, Ainsworth appears, having known what the fairies were planning and using the opportunity to show Chise a magical creatures idea of “help”. As they return home Ainsworth reveals that, as well as becoming his apprentice he hopes Chise will eventually become his wife.

"One today is worth two tomorrows." October 14, 2017
Chise awakens having slept for two days after her fairy ordeal. Ainsworth takes Chise shopping to a magus shop disguised as a bookstore; Chise meets the shop’s owner, Angelica Burley, a Magus Craft Artificer, who makes magical tools. When Angelica learns Ainsworth bought Chise as a slave and proposed marriage, she angrily throws him out. Angelica teaches Chise that Sorcery is a science that can change reality, while magic is closer to being a miracle capable of bending reality with help from magical creatures.
Angelica teaches Chise to magically shape a crystal into a flower. However Chise has a flashback to her mother in a field of flowers, causing the crystal to cover Angelica’s workshop in hundreds of crystal flowers. Ainsworth stops the flowers from spreading. Angelica sells Chise a magical knife, coat and several other magical items.
As they return home they meet a priest named Simon Cullum who asks Ainsworth for a favour in return for the Church not interfering in his affairs. Ainsworth suggests they think of the trip as their honeymoon. Chise and Ainsworth travel to Iceland to check on a dragon colony, only for Chise to be kidnapped by a man riding on a dragon.

"The balance distinguishes not between gold and lead." October 21, 2017
Chise is taken to a dragon nesting ground by the youthful mage Lindel, the dragon’s caretaker. Chise meets an elderly dragon called Uncle Nevin, who will die soon, and transform his body into a tree to keep the forest alive. Chise is saddened by this until Uncle Nevin explains dragons are not afraid of dying as all dragons live their lives to the fullest so they will have no regrets.
Chise remembers being so alone she considered suicide but Uncle Nevin is glad she chose to live or Ainsworth never would have found her. In his final moments Uncle Nevin shares with her his memories of flying. Ainsworth regrets that as human populations grow Chise may one day be one of the last surviving mages. As Uncle Nevin dies and his body transforms into a tree covered in white flowers he tells Chise that when the time comes and she needs a wand, he would be happy for her to use one of his branches, as thanks for making his final moments happy. Chise feels she has learned something about living a happy life.
As they prepare to leave Chise, having expended too much magic sharing memories with Uncle Nevin, collapses.

"Everything must have a beginning." October 28, 2017

Ainsworth begins investigating while Chise learns the Kingdoms history. Years ago a man who enjoyed killing cats was killed by the first Cat King and his corrupted soul imprisoned on an island. Chise is kidnapped by the mysterious woman who drops her into the lake. Underwater Chise meets, Mina, a deceased soul who reveals the corrupt soul was her husband, Matthew, who went mad after she died. She asks Chise to free both of them.
Ainsworth saves Chise and asks her to cleanse Matthew. Chise prepares her spell but is stopped by the mysterious woman and a man called Renfred, sorcerers who want the corrupted Matthew for other purposes. Renfred accuses Ainsworth of using Chise as a test subject and keeping her prisoner by pretending to make her his apprentice while hiding the truth that Sleigh Beggy’s have a very limited life span.

"Love conquers all." November 4, 2017
The mysterious woman, Alice, explains Sleigh Beggies are valuable because they continuously generate magical power, but the strain it puts on the body results in an early death. Renfred offers to free Chise but she chooses to stay with Ainsworth.
Ainsworth keeps the two sorcerers away while Chise performs the cleansing spell. Inside Matthews’s memories Chise sees him ask a sorcerer to cure Mina. The sorcerer teaches Matthew how to make a potion that steals cats’ nine lives to make Mina healthy. They force Mina to drink, but instead of curing her it dissolves her body, killing her. The sorcerer had used Mina to test his soul manipulation spell, which had failed. Matthew was then killed by the Cat King.
Mina had wanted Chise to erase her and Matthew from existence, since the corruption prevented them finding their way to the afterlife, condemning them to eternity in the darkness. The Cat King offers her ninth life to act as their guide. Chise instead uses the fairies power over wind to carry Mina and Matthew to the afterlife where they happily reunite after so long apart. As she watches them Chise can’t help but wonder how many years she has left.

"The Faerie Queene." November 11, 2017
With Matthew’s soul cleansed Renfred and Alice leave and meet the sorcerer who killed Mina. Ainsworth informs Chise she probably only has three years of life remaining, but he believes he has found a method of preventing her death. Chise promises to stay by his side before she passes out.
Chise remains unconscious for 2 weeks, limiting her physical functions in favour of restoring her magic faster. During this time they are approached by Titania, Queen of the Faeries, and her husband, King Oberon, who restores Chise’s magic, waking her up. Chise then surprises the king by running straight to Ainsworth instead of being frightened of him. The king inquires as to whether Chise and Ainsworth have had children yet. Chise wonders about this while Ainsworth experiences an unknown feeling in his gut, which amuses Titania.
As they leave Oberon wonders whether Chise and Ainsworth will stay together. Titania believes it would make more sense to guess exactly how many children they end up having. While returning home Chise wishes she had met Ainsworth years ago. Ainsworth assures her it doesn’t matter, since he intends on curing her so they can spend decades together.
7
"Talk of the devil, and he is sure to appear." November 18, 2017
The sorcerer, Cartaphilius, threatens to use Alice in an experiment if Renfred ever fails him again.
Ainsworth is asked to discover if a Grimm in a nearby graveyard is dangerous. He gives Chise a magical ring to reduce the amount of magic she generates. At the graveyard they find a young woman has been murdered. Chise is attacked by a dark magical creature but is saved by a young man who crushes the creature before collapsing from bite wounds. He suddenly transforms into the Grimm.
Alice appears and tries to take the Grimm but Chise knocks her unconscious. The Grimm, called Yuris, is unable to remember who injured him. Alice reveals Cartaphilius wants to turn Yuris into a Chimera. Ainsworth appears and decides Yuris is not dangerous. Alice asks Ainsworth to help against Cartaphilius, who took Renfreds arm and created the Chimera which killed the young woman. Ainsworth agrees since the Church was probably going to ask him to do it anyway. Chise suddenly pushes Alice out of the way and is impaled through the chest by Cartaphilius, who had been aiming for Alice. With Chise dying in his arms Ainsworth transforms into his true form, an inhuman monster.
8
"Let sleeping dogs lie." November 25, 2017
Ainsworth attacks Cartaphilius’ Praying Mantis Chimera. Chise experiences Yuris’ memories of Isabelle and suddenly awakens, quickly rushing to stop Ainsworth, unafraid of his true form. Renfred appears and shoots Cartaphilius. Ainsworth returns to normal, happy that Chise was not afraid of him.
Cartaphilius returns to life and summons a spider chimera. Chise refuses to let him take Yuris and unleashes her magic, summoning Tarantula hawks to kill the spider. Ainsworth stops her, as spells used to change the rules of nature are forbidden. They are suddenly teleported away by a Will-o'-the-wisp.
The Will-o’-the-Wisp, called Blue Flame, berates Yuris for clinging to his memories of Isabelle. Yuris finally accepts Isabelle is dead and asks to become Chise’s familiar. Cartaphilius reappears but has his arm shot off by Alice. Chise makes Yuris her familiar and renames him Ruth. Empowered by Chise Ruth destroys the Chimera. Cartaphilius decides to leave but reveals he has spent eternity experimenting to free himself of the pain his immortal body is cursed with. Renfred and Alice depart. Blue Flame retrieves the souls from the chimeras and guides them to the afterlife. Ainsworth, Chise and Ruth leave with Ainsworth promising to save Chise’s scolding until they get home.

Reception[edit]
Volume 2 reached the 9th place on the weekly Oricon manga chart[38] and, as of September 21, 2014, had sold 104,518 copies.[39]
The series had sold half a million copies as of June 2015,[40] 2.5 million copies as of March 2016,[12] and over 3 million as of September 2016.[41]
The series was number two on the 2015 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! Top 20 Manga for Male Readers survey.[42][43] It was number 36 on the 15th annual "Book of the Year" list by the Da Vinci magazine in 2014.[44] Da Vinci readers also ranked it at number two in a poll to determine the series most likely to "make their big break" in 2015.[45] The series ranked number one on a poll of 2,360 bookstore employees to determine 2015's top 15 manga series of under five volumes.[46][47] It was one of fourteen titles nominated for the eighth Manga Taishō awards in 2015.[48]
Volume two appeared on The New York Times manga bestsellers list for four weeks, rising to third place for two.[49] Volume three debuted on the list at second place,[50] volume four debuted at first place,[51] and volume five debuted at fourth place.[52]
Reviewing the first volume for Anime News Network, Nick Creamer gave it a grade of A-. He praised the series art, noting that it "does great work in impressing upon the audience the same sense of wonder Chise experiences throughout. The character designs are expressive and backgrounds ornate". Commenting on the relationship between Chise and Elias, he wrote that "having this story go in a legitimately romantic direction would likely raise thorny issues of power dynamics and consent", but remarked that, as it was, the story "does a commendable job of making both Chise and Elias understandable and likable characters." He concluded his review by writing: "What conflict all these lovely details might be leading towards is a mystery so far, but the execution is so strong that I'm ready to follow wherever it leads."[53] In his review of the second volume, he admitted to coming to an appreciation of the main characters' relationship, writing that "the ambiguities of their relationship actually seem like one more fitting piece of a world where every relationship is ambiguous". He called the series' magic "classic but still refreshing". He also commented that the series art "remains gorgeous and well-suited to the story all throughout this volume ... the backgrounds are lush and faces expressive, and the whole style has an ornate looseness to it that works perfectly for this kind of fantasy storytelling." He concluded by saying "If you have any appreciation for this style of classic fantasy storytelling, Ancient Magus' Bride is a can't-miss production."[54]
