{{nihongo|'''Bernkastel'''|ベルンカステル|Berunkasuteru}} is an extremely powerful witch that has lived for a thousand years. It is said that she lives in a world where concepts such as fate and possibility can be visualized. She can give birth to all kinds of miracles with her immense power but her heart ends up fracturing more every time she does so. She serves as a lesser antagonist in the [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|first four story arcs of ''Umineko no Naku Koro ni'']] but later becomes the main antagonist of the series.
