You always smell so wonderful, Shiranami. Yesterday you smelled like vanilla, today it's strawberries.

– Tequila


Kahlua Marjora (カルーア・マジョラム Karūa Majoramu) is the fourth member of the Rune Angel Troupe and possessed an alternate personality known as Tequila Marjoram (テキーラ・マジョラム Tekīra Majoramu) who was able to be brought out by consuming alcohol. This shift involved a change in not only her physical characteristics but a complete change in mentality and skill. She pilots the Spell Caster. She is the counterpart to Ranpha Franboise, while her Emblem Frame is similar to Mint's.    

Appearance[]

In both of her main personalities Kahlua has light purple eyes, with her outfit consisting of a long mantle, light green gloves that reach past her elbows, a green strapless dress, and thigh high boots with a slight heel to them. The main differences between them, though, are a jacket-like piece in the white/black/gold color scheme of the military that is closed on Kahlua and open on Tequila, and hairstyle differences; Kahlua's hair is straight and blonde, while Tequila's is more wavy and purple. It is because of Tequila's larger bust size that the jacket being open reveals the true nature of the dress, as Kahlua, whose bust is smaller than Tequila's, wears the jacket closed (often causing anyone unfamiliar with it to think it's a skirt, with a different top under the jacket).

By the end of the series, the two personalities are "merged" and resemble a blonde Tequila but this "third" personality was also independent like the other two.

Personalities[]

Even if the two of us were separate, we would still love you the most


As Kahlua[]

Being the "original" identity of the duo, Kahlua is the most active of the two personalities and is the "person" that interacts with others the most. Being the only mage on the ship, Kahlua is known for her renowned skill in magic thanks to her education and her position as one of the 12 most skilled mages in the NEUE universe. As such, her knowledge and advice is sought after in many of the Luxiole's journeys that involved the usage of magic. However, while magic is something that comes naturally to her, Kahlua's fear of her own skills does not allow her to freely use her abilities until much later in the series and most of its usage came from Tequila. As Tequila puts it, Kahlua is good at "using her mind" while Tequila herself is better at "using her body".

Being the oldest member of the team, Kahlua's big sister personality is reflected by her extremely calm and doting nature she has on her teammates. She's caring and generous but is notable for her very "slow" demeanor. Kahlua is indubitably the team's airhead and it stems from the fact that when Tequila is the active personality, Kahlua is not conscious while when Kahlua is active, Tequila is fully conscious of her surroundings. This understandably leads to Kahlua being unaware of the situation anytime when Tequila decides to switch back. Kahlua doesn't seem to fazed with this and is perfectly fine with moving at her own pace. Even when the two are fully united, Kahlua still has the ditzier composure. Mimolette usually fills in the gaps of what happened and he makes sure that his master isn't too lost.

Regarding both personalities, the draw of Kahlua and Tequila's routes revolve around distinction. Kazuya first fell in love with Kahlua but soon realized that loving only one of the two persons would be impossible. Further route conflicts emphasize and test Kazuya's capacity to love both equally and how he's one of the few people to accept both of them.

When romanced, Kahlua's age allowed her to be very forthcoming and straightforward with her emotions. Her easygoing nature made her relationship with Kazuya one of the more stable ones in the series and she enjoyed teasing him as much as Tequila did. Being the original personality that Kazuya fell in love with, Kahlua proved to be a non-issue in most of her route's problems. Her personality however becomes possessive of Kazuya when Tequila temporarily took on a separate body. While initially happy with the separation and of their unified memories, she becomes possessive enough to feel happiness in the separation as her memories and experiences with Kazuya will be fully unique to her alone instead of being shared.

As Tequila[]

Replacing Kahlua's calm and gentle attitude, Tequila is proactive, assertive, and is impatient compared to her alter-ego. Able to experience from both ego's memories, Tequila knows her other half better than anyone and views her almost like a little sister and deeply cares for her well-being, often putting Kahlua before her own needs. In turn, Kahlua respects and admires her other self for her prowess in using magic to pilot their Emblem Frame and her inner confidence.

With extra awareness, Tequila was more responsible for her actions and for reasons later revealed in later in the series, is extremely capable of using magic and attempted many times to help her other self get over her fear and vindicate her stigma in showing others her abilities. Tequila also understood that she was "secondary" in comparison to Kahlua and willingly allowed herself to be inactive to keep Kahlua happy. Similar to Kahlua, most of Tequila's comedic elements came from her promiscuity in teasing Kazuya on many occasions and she was never the one to be embarrassed in openly showing her affection when romanced. When others were concerned, Tequila acted like an even bigger "big sister" character to the team as she was understandably more knowing of how to take the initiative of the situation. While Kahlua spoke in a very relaxed manner, Tequila was more informal and livelier in speech, accompanying her sentences with gratuitous English.

While not initially the target of romance, Tequila comes to eventually fall for Kazuya's insistence on loving her as she planned on letting Kahlua be happy and to keep herself out of it, seemingly convinced otherwise by the sole fact that Kazuya was the first person to accept both their personalities. Tequila shares similar traits to Kahlua when romanced as both are very straightforward and open with their honest feelings. However, Tequila is more assertive in her approach and is more suggestive than her counterpart. The difference in how the two acted is clearly exemplified when they were personalities were separated and Tequila's dominant personality left Kahlua behind in terms of Kazuya's attention. Tequila's maturity and understanding shines through when Kahlua admitted that she secretly wished that they remained separate so that she could be Kazuya's sole focus of attention. Instead of getting angry, Tequila simply accepted this notion as to how much her other self loved him and how Kazuya has become more valuable than their respective, alternate personalities.

Behind-the-scenes[]

  • Kahlua's first name comes from the Mexican liqueur Kahlúa, while Tequila's first name comes from the Mexican alcohol Tequila. Her last name comes from the herb Marjoram.
  • Prior to the release of the game and anime, concept art of Tequila depicted her with bright magenta hair. A similar hair color ended up going to Anise.
  • Kahlua is the only member of either Angel Wing to wear boots that reach her knees, let alone her thighs; the others normally wear mid-calf pairs outside of Ranpha (who opts for red high heel pumps), Forte (same as Ranpha's, but black), and Anise (the only member of either Angel Wing to wear sandals).
  • Kahlua is the only female member of the Rune Angel Wing native to the NEUE universe whose home planet is unknown; because she is a mage she is often confused to be an actual Magiic native (Lily is from Seldar, Nano was discovered on Femto, Natsume's from Hatchet, Anise was originally from Azeat, and Rico's an EDEN native being Milfeulle's sister).
