Tartah is a young boy who helps his grandfather, Mr. Nolnoa, to run the magic supply shop The Starry Sword. While he comes from a line of witches and isn't an Outsider, Tartah has a disease, "Silverwash", which gives everything he sees a silvery sheen; this prevents him from seeing colors correctly, so he hasn't been trained in the use of magic.

Tartah is a focused young boy who wants to be able to help the people around him. Due to his Silverwash, he has not undergone proper training to be a witch despite being born one. Because of this, he can quickly get annoyed when people don't understand his circumstances and he has grappled with how his illness keeps him from becoming a witch. Tartah can be incredibly motivated when he wants to help someone like he was with Coco when she was sick.


Soon after resolving to fully become a witch despite his disability, Tartah begins studying medicine with Custas.

At first, Tartah did not take incredibly kindly to Coco. Coco was unaware he was afflicted with Silverwash and thus asked him questions about colors to which he got incredibly frustrated and snapped at her.
However, when Coco becomes sick Tartah returns to her sick room to look for his hat and stays to help her. She then helps him by coming up with a spell to help him see the original form of certain medicines so he could find what would help her. Through this experience, he grows a greater appreciation for Coco and becomes friends with her, promising to make a special Ink Wand just for her and would use his own magic to travel and bring it to her.

Tartah and his grandfather's cloaks are short and light - a type preferred by stationers, to avoid getting dirty from preparing wands and ink.
