Description
Chiyome, whose real name is Mia, is a young beastman ninja, known as a kunoichi, from the Jinshin Clan. She received the name Chiyome, a title passed down through generations, upon being recognized as one of the clan's six greatest warriors. As a member of a cat-type beastman race, she has triangular animal ears and a long tail, which often betrays her true emotions more than her face does. Chiyome typically dresses in practical black clothing, wears a red scarf, and uses a mask to conceal her identity.

Chiyome's personality is a blend of hard-edged professionalism and hidden warmth. Trained as a ninja, she is calm, serious, and highly dedicated to her missions. She is a good judge of character and possesses a cunning, adaptive mind that makes her a valuable ally in the field. However, beneath her composed exterior lies a curious and caring nature. She is particularly sensitive to the plight of enslaved beastmen and can become fiercely angry when her people are insulted. She also displays a more vulnerable side, getting embarrassed easily, showing a fondness for small animals like Ponta, becoming enthusiastic about good food, and even feeling jealous of women with larger chests.

Chiyome's primary motivation is the liberation of her fellow beastmen, who are frequently persecuted and enslaved by humans. Her actions are driven by the legacy of her clan, which was founded by the first Hanzo, a mysterious warrior who rescued the ancestors of the Jinshin Clan from slavery six hundred years ago. She infiltrates human territories to gather information and orchestrate daring rescues. Her personal quest involves searching for her senior disciple and foster brother, Sasuke, who went missing while investigating the Church.

In the story, Chiyome first encounters the protagonist Arc during a mission to free enslaved elves in the city of Diento. Initially suspicious, she decides to trust him after seeing his spirit animal companion, Ponta, and upon realizing he is from the same world as her clan's legendary founder. This leads to a formal alliance, where she provides crucial information in exchange for Arc and his elf partner Ariane's help in liberating beastmen slaves. From that point on, Chiyome becomes a recurring and invaluable ally, joining Arc and Ariane on their journeys and using her skills to support their shared goals. Her role in the party is that of a stealth and infiltration expert, as well as a capable combatant.

Chiyome's key relationships are central to her development. She shares a deep bond of mutual trust and friendship with Arc and Ariane, viewing them as reliable and powerful comrades. She works closely with her fellow clan member, the large warrior Goemon, during joint operations. Her most significant off-screen relationship is with Sasuke, who found her as a child in a devastated village and brought her to the Jinshin village, training her personally. Her quest to find him is a major personal drive.

Chiyome's character development is evident as she transitions from a solitary agent operating in the shadows to a key member of a trusted team. This is especially highlighted during the operation to free the beastmen at the Etzat Market, where she was initially prepared to sacrifice some of her comrades to save the many, but Arc's unexpected abilities allowed them to execute a plan with no casualties. An event that profoundly affects her is the discovery that Arc is a skeleton in armor, a sight so shocking it leaves her trembling in fear. Despite her initial horror, she eventually overcomes this prejudice, recognizing his true character and valuing him as a friend.

As one of the elite six of her clan, Chiyome possesses remarkable abilities. She is a master of Ninjutsu, a form of spiritual art that allows her to use water-based magic. Her techniques include creating Water Wolves to hunt down enemies, forming Water Needles or Shurikens as projectiles, generating a Water Prison to trap foes, creating a nearly perfect Water Clone of herself, and a powerful Blood Water Needle technique that attacks enemies from within. In addition to her magical prowess, Chiyome is highly proficient in physical combat, assassination, infiltration, espionage, and lock-picking, making her a formidable ninja.
