Among the Cattle and Corn - Farmer Coco x Rancher/Cowboy Agott. A wild cow runs loose in the wheat fields of Coco's family farm, she is then saved by Agott who offers to temporarily work for them to make up for the losses. Romance ensues. (ONGOING)

Sing once again with me, our strange duet - Modern AU where the atelier is a theater group with Arkco being invited onto an awards show to perform the legendary song The Phantom of The Opera.

Brim and Improper - Interconnected series focusing on an AU in which virtually all the members of the atelier become brimhats, events of the manga still continue as the qiflings are in their teens

(Manga spoilers!) Theres something about baby Agott growing up in a society where while gender roles are much more relaxed, are still there. Especially as shes essentially considered nobility, she's expected to be ladylike and all the stereotypical concepts that come from it.

And you can see that shine at her young age when she (traditionally enough) has long hair

And yet despite her childhood growing up in a society like that, we don't see a 'ladylike' girl who grew up in high society but rather a short haired child who has a 'masculine' behaviour from the way she sits to how she eats and keeps her belongings

What makes it beautiful is that unlike most stories where the author would have a "masculine" and aggressive girl who would slowly turn 'feminine' over the story because she healed some traumas, Shirahama chooses to go the opposite path, she chooses to let Agott shine past her traumas and stay as she is and enhance her self-expression without having to turn her feminine, and you can see this from the way her hair develops in the manga

To her embracing her love for decorative magic despite witch society and the many ways her family has been implied to make her conform by insulting her use of said decorative magic. It is when she realises that her expression of magic (and in turn, of herself) is accepted and celebrated (From both witch society, the atelier and most specifically Coco) that she truly becomes confident in herself

In a way, you can even argue that her entire storyline and character development can be about the butch experience and slowly finding yourself by becoming vulnerable and embracing your true self-expression (Of course, this applies to any identity but I am relating this to the butch experience). To be butch is not just by dressing up in masculine clothes and looking masculine. To be butch is to stand up against the conformity that an oppressive society imposes on a woman and on queer people, it is to embrace who you are and being true to yourself against all odds and along the way welcoming the people that celebrate you instead of pushing them away.

And even without the storyline for Agott she still has the many traits that come from the butch principles. We watch her go out of her way to protect Coco, risking her life for an outsider and even protecting her own friends such as when Ekoh and Etlan start questioning tetia out of pure chivalry. We see her reject the beliefs the Arklaums imposed on her, we see her reject her envy and instead turn it to motivate her to do something good; we watch her, despite her traumas release her feelings and emotions instead of forcing walls on herself. We see her grow to respect her fellow-apprentices and most especially Coco, and in the events leading up to the Silver Eve arc we watch her take accountability for her actions towards Coco. And above all else, she is starting to find personal joy, liberty and strength in herself and in her surroundings.

I know Agott isnt a canonical butch character, but the way Shirahama has written her, the way her storyline is written in the manga hits so close to home as a butch and I think that sentiment goes for a lot of people regardless of identity

All of Agott's World Guide hairstyles suit her so well.

The suit is a modified version/inspired by of the 5th anniversary commemorative art!
