OVA
Description
Sanjōno Haruhime, a Renard (fox-type Human Beast) with blonde hair, green eyes, fox ears, and a tail, originated from a noble Far Eastern family. She lived isolated within her home, a gilded cage without companionship. Her circumstances shifted when children from the Takemikazuchi Familia, with their god's approval, began taking her outside to play at night. False accusations of stealing a shrine offering led her father to disown her in anger. A Pallum guest took her away but abandoned her during a monster attack. Bandits captured and sold her to an Orario brothel, where the goddess Ishtar noticed and purchased her, forcing her into prostitution within the Ishtar Familia. She coped by immersing herself in fairy tales of heroic rescues, though she eventually resigned herself to being unworthy due to her profession.

Initially seen in a red kimono, particularly the valued Koufuu gifted by senior courtesans, she transitioned to a maid outfit after joining the Hestia Familia, though she retains the kimono for Dungeon expeditions. Her protective gear includes the Goliath Robe, crafted from Black Goliath hide, and Undine Cloth for water defense.

Haruhime exhibits a gentle, timid, and polite demeanor, easily excited by minor novelties due to sheltered experiences. Deep-seated trauma manifests as foaming at the mouth and collapsing when confronted with male nudity, resulting in her remaining an unknown virgin. Despite this fragility, she displays unexpected bravery protecting others, leaping off a building to shield Wiene and confronting Bete Loga to buy time for Bell Cranel. Her loyalty intensified after Bell saved her, shifting her self-perception from unworthy to valued.

As a Level 2 adventurer, her physical capabilities surpass ordinary humans and exceed typical Level 1s. Her beast-kin senses, enhanced by her falna, grant acute environmental awareness. She excels at rapid chant recitation, outperforming many high-tier adventurers in magic invocation speed.

Her primary magic, Uchide no Kozuchi, temporarily elevates a single target's level by one, excluding herself. Duration improved from 15 minutes at Level 1 to 20 minutes at Level 2; cooldown reduced from 10 minutes to 9 minutes. Drawbacks include reduced excelia gain for recipients and body-mind desynchronization impairing effectiveness, especially for first-time users. Its existence was concealed initially but revealed publicly during the Great Faction War.

Her grimoire-derived second magic, Kokonoe, generates up to nine ethereal tails. Integrating Uchide no Kozuchi's chant channels the level boost through each tail for multi-target application, demanding significant mind. Initial use caused fainting after five tails; she learned to retain one tail for gradual mind recovery, later increasing capacity to six tails. She possesses a third magic slot but failed activation despite reading thirteen high-quality Fels grimories, requiring unique life experience or excelia.

Her skill Mikuzumenohou enhances charm-based magic effects. After leveling up, she acquired the Mage development ability, amplifying magic power, expanding range, improving mind efficiency, and generating colored magic circles during casts. This grants her magic stats equivalent to a Level 3 adventurer.

She wields specialized equipment: Oubu, a magic-enhancing fan crafted by Welf Crozzo doubling as a melee weapon, and Suiran, a fan-shaped wind-element magic sword. Her growth included a delayed Level 2 ascension post-volume 14 following Aisha Belka's advice about premature advancement. She actively trains to overcome combat dependency, though her primary role remains supportive.
