Storyteller

— The Great Witch

Arthur Cantabella, better known as the Storyteller, was the creator and ruler of Labyrinthia. He supposedly had the ability to make whatever story he wrote come to pass in the real world.

Personality

Despite seemingly displaying a cold attitude towards his daughter Espella, in reality he cares immensely about her.

Name

• "Arthur" is a play on "author", while "Cantabella" is derived from his original Japanese surname as well as from the Italian for "I sing" (canta) and "beauty" (bella); these meanings are more likely meant to be intended for his daughter.
• Her French name, "Roman Novella", comes from "roman" and "novella" meaning both "novel" in order, in French and Italian.

Development

Early design.
