Characters

[edit]

Lilli is an ordinary girl – or so she thinks until the day that she stumbles upon a magic book which turns her into a witch. From then on she experiences many funny and wild adventures that take her all over the world.

Leon is Lilli's younger brother. He often accompanies his big sister – voluntarily or unintended – in her magic adventures.

Hector is a cheeky little green dragon. He is Lilli's friend and an expert in magic.
