===Megumin===

A young and extremely powerful wizard who comes from a sub-race of humans known for being adept at magic and chewing scenery in whatever ways they can. If Megumin focused on having a good spell selection she would be the greatest wizard of her generation. Unfortunately for Kazuma, she's only interested in casting the ''Explosion'' spell, the strongest spell in the world - also regarded by almost everyone else as impractical due to its high mana cost and combination of the two worst aspects of old-school [[List of D&D Spells|Fireball and Disintegrate]]: the explosion can kill allies both directly and indirectly (say, caving in the roof on top of you), and anything it kills doesn't drop any loot. On top of this, she specs her stats into creating the biggest explosion possible, so using the spell leaves her too exhausted to even move after using it - and for the icing on the cake, she's basically addicted to the erotic sensation (!) of doing this, so she wants to use Explosion at every available opportunity. Megumin also shares her race's cultural propensity for being as Chuuni as possible, usually monologuing some edgelord shit when introducing herself... or doing magic... or explaining why she wears an eyepatch when she doesn't actually need to.

Thanks her reliance on an impractical spell, Megumin couldn't get anybody besides Kazuma to accept her into party, and even then she had to basically force him. Despite his annoyance with her, the two do care about each other deep down and eventually become a couple.

One thing to note is that, unlike Aqua, Megumin ''does'' realize that her problems are largely self-inflicted, and at one point, she actually gives her skill card to Kazuma so that ''he'' can level her up, because she wants to be a better mage for him but she can't muster the will to purchase a non-Explosion-related spell on her own. That Kazuma chooses to level up Explosion for her instead of buying the other magic skills because he cares about her feelings and wants her to be happy, is either heartwarming or [[rage]]-inspiring depending on how you feel about their relationship and/or Megumin herself.
