Ruftmila

Ruftmilia (ルフトミラ) is a current resident of Lurolona Village and the cousin of Raphtalia.

Appearance
He was described to be around eight years old, however, since he is now a resident of Lurolona Village, he has grown a little taller after levelling up.

He has a pair of Tanuki ears, which are short, brown and tend to rest flat on his head. His eyes are also brown and carry an ever-present spark of happiness.

The clothing he wears is very similar to Raphtalia's in her younger days while travelling with Naofumi.

Personality
When first found, Ruft was a kind hearted but naive puppet emperor of Q'ten Lo. He trusted Makina and enacted a rule that no living creature could be killed, even for defense.

When he moved to Lurolona Village, Ruft remained earnest and did his best to make himself useful. He bonded with Naofumi over their mutual adoration for the Raph species. However, Raphtalia is concerned by how impressionable Ruft is towards Naofumi.

Powers and Abilities
When Naofumi first found Ruft in Q'ten Lo, he was noted to be relatively weak. However, since joining Lurolona Village, he was found to learn at an incredible pace. After training with Trash and Melty, he was noted to be skilled diplomat. In combat, Naofumi noted Ruft to be a power-type fighter in contrast to Raphtalia who is a technical fighter.

Therianthrope Form
After reaching level 40, Ruft volunteered to take the special Raph Class-up ceremony. As a result he unlocked a therianthrope form which makes him look like a massive Raph. This look is slightly different from a traditional Raph in that it looks more like a therianthrope (humanoid) than a monster.

Magic
Like Raphtalia, Ruft is capable of casting light and illusion magic at least at the Drifa tier.

Ritual Magic
Produces an intensely bright light. Was used in combination with the Legendary Shield to produce the combination skill, Prismlight Shield. Splits the caster into several illusory copies.
 * Drifa Illumination「ドライファ・ライトアップ Doraifaa Raito Appu」
 * Unnamed Illusion Magic


 * Zweite Illusion「ツヴァイト・イリュージョン Tsuvaito Iryuujon」

The user creates an illusion that confuses the enemy.

Heavenly Emperor
Despite being deposed as the Heavenly Emperor, Ruft apparently still maintained some of the powers of a pacifier.

Allows the user to blessed multiple creatures and then temporarily gather the entire group's levels into a single individual. This power also weakened Legendary and Vassal Weapons.
 * Astral Enchant「アストラルエンチャント Asutoraru Enchanto」


 * Eight Trigrams, Destiny Smash「八極陣天命打 Hakkyoku Jin Tenmei Da (lit. Eight Extremities Formation Heavenly Emperor Smash)」

The effects of this technique is unknown. But, it can be presumed that it has similar effects to Raphtalia's techniques that share a similar naming convention (i.e. Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny).

Background
He was the Heavenly Emperor of Q'ten Lo, however, his title and status was stripped after the revolution lead by Naofumi succeeded.

His death was faked to please the residents of Q'ten Lo and he was offered to be one of the residents of Lurolona Village.

Relationships
Legendary Heroes  Despite their first interaction with each other, they get along very well with together and enjoy each other's company since they both have a fondness for the Raph species. Ruft currently sees Naofumi as basically an older brother.
 * Naofumi Iwatani

Naofumi is also surprised at how quickly Ruft has matured, and how skilled he has become in both the combat and diplomatic arenas.

Vassal Wielders They seem to care for each other as they are both relatives, however, haven't shown much direct interaction with one another, except, for the time when Raphtalia was worried about Naofumi giving Ruftmilia a weird nickname.
 * Raphtalia

Their current relationship is a bit stressful for Raphtalia due to Ruft's fanaticism for the Raph species and that he usually supports several of the ideas that Naofumi proposes to improve the Raph species, which is not to Raphtalia's liking because it is not the biggest fan of the Raph species. Raphtalia also tends to feel a little uncomfortable when she is with Ruft, whether he is in his therianthrope form or not, this is because in his semi-human form Ruft resembles Raphtalia's father, and in his therianthrope form it makes him uncomfortable because he is basically a Giant Raph-chan.

Lurolona Village He loves playing around with her, however, he can only mostly do so with the permission of Naofumi.
 * Raph-chan

Q'ten Lo He deeply trusted her and took her word for what was best for the country, however, he later found out he was being manipulated by her.
 * Makina

Trivia

 * After being trampled by Motoyasu's heard of filolials, Ruft has maintained a fear and respect of the creatures.
 * Raphtalia had nicknamed Lyno as Ruft II due to how they are both deeply similar to and influenced by Naofumi in certain respects
