Keel

Keel (キール) was a resident of Raphtalia's home village and her childhood friend. He became Naofumi's slave in hopes of rebuilding the village.

Personality
Keel can be bratty and whining when wanting food from Naofumi. Despite how he acts, he helps bring together the slaves and acts as a sort of leader.

Appearance
He is shown to be a young boy around the age of 10 with dog-like features, later revealed to be, biologically, a girl. His tomboyish appearance fooled everyone, including Naofumi, who accepted him as his slave under the impression that he was biologically male. When Tact asked his harem not to hurt women, every other woman in the Holy Hero side remained unharmed, with the exception of Keel.

Human
He is initially described as a young man around the age of 10 with dog-like features, however as he levels and his appearance ages, as well as him being verified to be biologically female, he is made out to be more of a tomboy who could easily pass as a pretty boy by the other characters..

Dog Form
His dog form takes the appearance of a loincloth-clad puppy (specifically, a Siberian Husky) who walks on two legs.

Abilities
Just based on stats, he falls short of Raphtalia, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t strong. Due to his race, Keel can make quick movements.

Keel has an affinity for transformations, which led to him being taught by Sadina.

Background
Throughout his life, Keel was raised as a boy, his father treated Keel like his son, and told him that gender was a state of mind.

Summary
He was found in the basement of the fanatic noble who held both Raphtalia and Rifana, torturing them for being a demi-human.

Trivia

 * Keel wasn't meant to be an important character, however, the personality the author gave him overlapped with another male character he planned to make down the road, so he decided to give ‘him’ a little… quirk. (Sex change)
