Cian

Cian is a cat-like Demi-Human who lived in the ancient past and is protected by the Shield Hero Mamoru Shirono.

Appearance
As a cat-like demi-human, Cian has two cat ears on the top of her head, a long tail and distinct cat-eyes which can dilate when focused. Otherwise, she is a little girl with long, grey hair.

Personality
To most people, Cian is a shy and timid young girl. She is quite guarded and takes a while to warm up to people. She also has a cool personality, to the point of feigning dis-interest despite actually wanting to participate. In contrast to her timid personality, she is curious about the world around her. She is also willing to help out those she has warmed up to.

At times Cian's instinctual "cat" personality may become stronger - such as automatically "hunting" a toy-like feather waved in front of her or liking being pet. She may even purr when content. This side reminds Naofumi of feral cats he encountered back home in Japan.

Abilities
Cian is often assessed as useless in combat due to her timid personality, but it seems that she is light on her feet. She also has incredible perception and is able to sense through concealment magic. Cian also has notable insight - being able to see through Naofumi's "tough guy" act and noting that Keel is suffering from past trauma (due to the waves)

As part of Mamoru's experiments to create powerful demi-human races, Cian slowly transformed to became the progenitor of the Hakuko species. This gave her an instinctual combat and killing instinct in addition to a therianthrope transformation which closely resembles that of a Hakuko.

Background
Cian grew up in the town of Siltran. Like many kids, her parents were killed during the war against Piensa and she was adopted by Mamoru. Due to the war and an overly protective Mamoru, she wasn't able to get out much.

Mamoru Shirono
After Cian's parents died during the war with Piensa, Mamoru took her in along with several other children. While Cian trusts Mamoru and Mamoru wants the best for her, it seems there's some hidden conflict.

Naofumi Iwatani
Despite Naofumi's attempts to look tough and intimidating, Cian's first impression of him is that he has "kind eyes". Cian took a liking to Naofumi and eventually accepted his offer to go trading with him and his village around Siltran.
