Mrs. Jansson is a character in Little Witch Academia. She is a witch from Finland, owner of a magic item shop and Lotte's mother.
Appearance
Mrs. Jansson is very similar to her daughter, except for being a little shorter than her. She has fair skin, blue-gray eyes and glasses that are identical to Lotte's. She wears a blue tunic that covers her entire body, a red shrug and a long dark purple veil on her head.
In Teri Terio's manga, her appearance is completely different. She's much taller and had a more busty appearance. Her hair is also shown, being somewhat similar to Lotte's except longer. She also wears what appeared to be a business suit along with a tie as opposed to a blue tunic.[2]
Personality
She is a sweet and kind woman. She is very respectful and considerate with her family and guests. She's somewhat easily jealous, separating her husband from his neighbor when Akko unintentionally put them in a position where they kissed, despite the three being almost immobilized by the Greenman Disease.
Plot
Background
Not much is known about Mrs. Jansson's past at this point, only that she is a witch hailed from a magical family in Finland who inherited her shop from her mother. She eventually met her eventual husband and together the two sired a daughter they named Lotte.
TV Series
Pohjola's Trial
Mrs. Jansson is introduced when Lotte returns home for holiday. She is happy to see her child after a while, and then is introduced to Akko and Sucy. Later at night, they have Hapansilakka pies made by their neighbor Jane for dinner, unaware of the danger the pies have. The next morning, the girls discover Mr. and Mrs. Jansson immobile covered in green mold. Mrs. Jansson, who still is able to move, manages to find a book that contains the magical cure to the Greenman Disease they were infected with. Akko and Lotte set off to find the ingredients and create the cure so they can save them. She, along with her husband, is later freed from the disease by Akko.
Tree of Leaves
She is seen next to her husband and neighbors in Finland, lending their Fuel Spirit to Akko and Diana during their battle against the Magitronic missile.
Relationships
Mr. Jansson
It is shown that she and Mr. Jansson are having a loving relationship. When Akko accidentally knocked her husband onto Jane to the point of them seemingly kissing when both of them were incapacitated by Greenman Disease, Mrs. Jansson immediately shoved her husband aside despite being affected by the same affliction showing her jealousy side, though it's possible she did so to prevent the two from being embarrassed by such awkward incident as well.
Lotte Jansson
Mrs. Jansson loves her daughter, Lotte, very much. She apparently loaded Lotte a lot of things she may need when she was moving to study at Luna Nova Magical Academy. Mrs. Jansson also praises her daughter for being a spiritual witch.
Abilities
Despite her stature, Mrs. Jansson displays great strength at least to the extent where she could shove her husband who got incapacitated by Greenman Disease away from the similarly incapacitated Jane despite being affected by the same affliction. Though unconfirmed, Mrs. Jansson is plausibly a capable spiritual witch trained in same magical arts as Lotte under her mother's tutelage that includes communicating and synchronizing one's magic with those of faeries and spirits, particularly ones that inhabited old objects they manifested from.
Trivia
- Her appearance in the manga is vastly different compared to her anime counterpart. The reason behind this is unknown.
