Sadeena

Sadeena is Sakamata therianthrope and a companion of the Shield Hero. She's also one of the top fighters of Rock Valley.

Personality
She acts lazily to prevent others from getting a hold of her, but underneath that, she easily obsesses over things. To summarize, she’s someone you can’t let your guard down around. However, she is also quite caring and responsible when she has to be and is described as everyone's "Onee-san." Raphtalia, Filo, villagers in Rock Valley, and the people in the other village hold great respect for her, although Naofumi can only see her as a loose person who likes to play around.

Human
In her human form, she appears to be like a beautiful traditional Japanese-style woman with long black hair, fair skin, and face that would rival even Raphtalia.

Therianthrope
In her Sakamata form, Sadeena is quite large in human standards but average sized for her race. She also tends to wear a loincloth.

Background
Sadeena was born and grew up in Q'ten Lo islands in a special lineage related to the devotion of the God Water Dragon and the Heavenly Emperor. At some point in her adolescence, she became the head priest of the Water Dragon and became friends with the heir of Q'ten Lo throne, Raphtalias father. After that, under unknown circumstances, she decided to follow Raphtalia's parents when they decided to elope from the country, leaving behind her old life.

After leaving their country, she and Raphtalia's parents settle down in Melromarc's Saetto territory, as the governor was receiving great quantities of immigrants as part of the Queen's initiative to create a Demi-human protected district.

Abilities
Sadeena can fight both in close quarters and with magic. She can also use a wide range of ritual magic including self-buffing magic as well as Choral Magic and dragon vein magic, even being able to swiftly counter-cast Zweitte-level spells. She's also a very skilled fighter, being able to more than hold her own against Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Filo while untransformed, even going as far as pointing out their mistakes while fighting. Though they would have her beat had they not been cursed at that time.

Innate Abilities
Echolocation: Just like whales, killer whales and dolphins, she can use sonar to locate objects and people. This also can render illusion magic ineffective.

Animal form: Sadeena can transform into a form resembling a humanoid killer whale on land, with legs and arms, unlike a normal killer whale. This form increases all of her stats and raises her fighting ability while in water environments even further.

 * 「Anti-Zweitte Aura」A counter-spell that nullifies the effects of the Aura spell before they're applied.

 * 「Descent of the Thunder God」Sadeena casts this magic in cooperation with Naofumi. Makes the target's stats skyrocket. Also gives them the ability to use Electric-type attacks and allows the use of electric-type combo skills.

Heroes
Sadeena appreciates Naofumi for saving the children of Raphtalia's village, especially in regards to Raphtalia herself. However, she herself falls for Naofumi after he defeats her in drinking alcohol. Naofumi considers her a valuable asset, she is very powerful, reliable and experienced, even in regards to the other allies he has around him. At every attempt she makes to flirt with Naofumi however, she is turned down naturally.
 * Naofumi Iwatani:

“Sadeena once said, ‘My life companion must be someone who can drink more than me! If I meet someone like that, I’ll never let them go so everyone should be prepared~” Hence, when Naofumi beat her in a drinking competition she set her sights on him.
