Latifa

Latifa is a young fox beastkin girl born in the Beltram Kingdom of the Strahl region who also has the past memories and personality of an elementary school student Japanese girl named Endo Suzune. She was at first an enemy of Rio. Duke Huguenot had enslaved and trained her to be a merciless assassin by enchaining her with a collar of submission. Fortunately for her, Rio was too strong for her: he vanquished her and took off the collar. Latifa decided to follow Rio on his journey, despite being freed she declared that being alone is far more scary than being a slave. She became his adoptive little sister and is extremely attached to Rio. Rio decided to cross the borders between the Strahl region and wilderness just to let her meet the spirit folks. It is strongly implied that she has romantic feelings for Rio (also due to her past as Suzune in Japan), and she is very jealous of other girls when they interact with Rio.

Personality
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.
