Description
Kokorowa Hime is a high-ranking goddess presiding over wheels and inventions from the Mihashira Capital in the Lofty Realm. Her creations, such as the automatons guarding the capital, enable Yanato's prosperity. Despite her current status, she originated from a lower divine caste and worked diligently to earn favor with the head goddess, Lady Kamuhitsuki.
She maintains a calm and collected demeanor, contrasting her best friend Sakuna's impulsiveness. Kokorowa possesses an eagerness to assist others, frequently becoming engrossed in her tinkering. This drive leads her to design agricultural tools for Sakuna on Hinoe Island, including mechanical aids for rice sorting, seedling management, and storage optimization.
After Sakuna's banishment to the Isle of Demons, Kokorowa remains in the capital, refining her inventions and strengthening her ties to Lady Kamuhitsuki. However, upon learning Sakuna's rice gained Kamuhitsuki's favor, Kokorowa secretly obtains samples of Sakuna's "Revered Ears" rice. She alters it to create a competing brand that eventually dominates the capital's market, an act stemming from longstanding jealousy over Sakuna's inherited high status despite her laziness, contrasting Kokorowa's hard-earned position.
When Sakuna confronts her about the sabotage, a chase through the capital culminates in a fire destroying the rice stores again. Although Lady Kamuhitsuki spares Kokorowa punishment due to her indispensable talents, the incident forces a reconciliation between the two goddesses. Kokorowa later redeems herself by traveling to Hinoe Island after a volcanic eruption devastates Sakuna's farm. She assists in rebuilding and introduces advanced tools like a waterwheel to improve agricultural efficiency.
Kokorowa's relationship with Sakuna evolves significantly. Initially harboring resentment over Sakuna's unearned privileges and occasional condescension, she ultimately reaffirms their friendship through tangible support. She also shares a respectful dynamic with the levelheaded shrine maiden Tama due to their similar temperaments.
An upcoming spin-off centers on Kokorowa as the protagonist, focusing on her engineering pursuits. Her name reflects her nature: "Kokoro" signifies "heart/mind," representing her bright disposition, while "wa" (wheel) denotes her divine domain over tools and mechanics.
