We don't know that either though.

spoilers PAST thirteen:

Rino shows up in volume Nineteen to kill Malty. This, is an "entirely different character" at first glance. The truth is though, that Rino changed her appearance in order to sneak up and execute Malty. So, since the side story never happens in the anime or manga yet, and it would do a great disservice to introduce a completely new character to kill Malty, my assumption is that the green mage is her, either being her true appearance, or the fake one, so she can execute her plan.
