Latifa

Latifa is a young fox beastkin girl born in the Beltrum Kingdom of the Strahl region who also has the past memories and personality of an elementary school student Japanese girl named Endo Suzune. Latifa was born as the daughter of a beastkin slave pet owned by a prominent noble family in Beltrum, the Huguenot household, and automatically became a slave herself since she was born. Latifa was trained as a disposable assassin by her own father Gustave Huguenot and she's often tortured and used as a daily stress reliever by her half brother Stewart Huguenot. Her mother originated from the Seirei no Tami village and is the descendant of Ursula. Latifa was ordered to kill Rio and had no other choice due to the pain from the slave collar. However, Rio easily took her down and released her from being a slave. Confused and still unable to believe this Latifa instinctively followed Rio having no idea where to go. Due to Rio pitying Latifa and her young age he decided to accompany her to the Beast Kingdom and part ways then. Throughout the journey, they became close to a sibling-like relationship. Latifa is an adorable young girl with medium length bright orange hair until her back. She has big round deep orange eyes and big fox ears on top of her head with a fluffy dark orange tail. As an assassin, Latifa wears a big cloak that completely hides her body. She ties her hair in twin side locks while letting the rest flow freely at her back. Under the cloak, she wears a one piece of camisole-like dress, a long fingerless dark glove up to her upper arm, a utility belt for her weapon strapped on her torso and leather-wrapped shoes. After living in the Spirit village, Latifa donned her hair as a ponytail with a red with white stripe ribbon while still retaining her sidelocks. She wears a common attire of the spirit people, an ornamented shirt with a leather vest, a grey belt, and a short red skirt, She wears a white glove, grey cowboy boots with thigh-high white socks strapped with a belt. Latifa's mental growth was severely debilitated after receiving abuse and torture ever since she was born, she was severely dissociating herself from the surrounding as a form to protect herself, no matter what happens, she barely gives any reaction or emotion. After her memory awakened, Latifa was highly confused, her previous mentality and personality were completely devoured by her stronger and richer Japanese personality and ego. The sudden difference in her life between a little girl in Japan and her current situation as a slave turned her into a quickly panicking and highly terrified girl, but this sudden change in personality and reaction instead made her get abused even more. In the end, she starts to repress and kill her emotion once again to protect herself, trying to make her reaction as uninteresting as possible. Despite all her training as an assassin, Latifa still has her modern common sense and morality about life. She's severely depressed and nauseated after her first kill, but her collar that gives her pain every time she tried to go against the order leaves her no choice. When Latifa attacked Rio, she showed a cold and calm attitude to finish the job, but the instant Rio managed to restrain her she broke out crying and wailing revealing a deep-rooted trauma of getting restrained and abused, she is also shown to be really afraid to make mistakes in fear of being punished, she won't touch her food before given permission to, she's afraid to speak up her mind and afraid to show her exhaustion. Latifa kept getting nightmares and cried all night long, calling her mother in Japanese, and she wouldn't stop unless Rio hugged her or put her to deep sleep with magic. Traveling with Rio not only healed Latifa mentally bit by bit but also shows that Latifa gradually gets attached and dependent on Rio, it's shown her slyness in testing how much Rio will allow her acting spoiled to him. In her time living in Seirei no Tami, Latifa gradually got back to her cheerful and bright personality. Latifa is a warm and friendly girl that likes to snuggle or hug her close friends and loved one, she's clever and also a crafty one, most of all she really loves Rio, her beloved Onii-chan.
