Wyndia (Web Novel)

Wyndia is a slave girl brought to Naofumi by the Slave Merchant to help populate his village.

A victim of Naofumi's lazy-naming scheme, Naofumi calls her Taniko because she reminded him of a character from his world surround by a giant worm who live in the Wind Valley, tani (谷) meaning valley and ko (子) meaning child. She was raised by the Dragon that was killed by Ren.

Appearance
From a glance, she has dog ears and a tail.

Personality
She is not the type of person who would enthusiastically vie for revenge. Wyndia has shown leadership ability, during the brainwashing incident. Recently, Taniko's developed a sort of switch where she occasionally becomes very dark and negative, in times like when she extorts bandits and threatens enemies; Naofumi was indirectly responsible for this since he would use such interrogation methods on enemies, thus this eventually rubbed off on both Wyndia and Eclair Seaetto. In the village, she happily plays with Gaelion, the Caterpillands, and the other monsters.

Being raised by a dragon, Wyndia has a fondness for dragons.

Background
She was taken care of by the adult Gaelion as a child, along with the rest of his children. When Ren came to slay Gaelion, she was protected along with the other children, and as such survived the incident. However, soon after Gaelion's death, slave drivers arrived and enslaved the survivors from Ren's crusade. Later on, she was found by the Slave Dealer and offered to Naofumi, who purchased her to help with his village.

Abilities
She learned from her father. She's good with magic attacks, among the other slaves this is something that she can take pride in. Her magic seems to concentrate on the surrounding energy and release it. Wyndia was taught holy water's Ability Restoration by Sadeena.

Unique Magic
Using the Dragon Pulse, she has to figure out what equals Fire. Wyndia can borrow the earth’s power and still make fire. From Earth + Darkness, she somehow solves for the Darkness and converts that to a flame.

Taniko is in the second group of slaves owned by the Slave Merchant to be purchased for Naofumi's village.

She wasn't part of the group that found and brought back to the village the first monster egg they found together while training as a sort of trophy. She spoke against Naofumi to plead to keep the newly hatched monsters. He hesitatingly agreed to keep it.

Taniko appears quite benevolent about dragons when a flying dragon egg was sent to Rock Valley by a mysterious person/group. She mentions a Dragon Emperor that would not allow other dragons to run wild and procreate without regard to their partner.

Heroes

 * Naofumi Iwatani: She was a little distant from him at first, for Naofumi was a Hero same as the one who killed her adoptive father. Later, she became a little familiar with Naofumi and argued his way of treating monsters. When Zombie Dragon attacked the villagers, she pleads for Naofumi and the villagers to be different and friendly. Wyndia admits that the village was becoming a good home for her. She along with other villagers came to see Naofumi as a motherly figured which Naofumi deny. She begins to take a lot of Naofumi's bad habit such as extorting the bandits.
 * Ren Amaki: After being killed by the Sword Hero, her father never came home, so she doesn't want to fight him. She doesn’t want to see him, and she wants him to die in a ditch somewhere. But, she has decided that she won’t involve herself with him. After learning the consequence of his actions, Ren tried to take responsibility for her which she openly refuses.

Companions

 * Ratotille Anthreya: Wyndia and Rat have become rivals in their treatment of monsters. Wyndia believed that monsters should get strong through battle and experience, while Rat opted for strengthening them through modification. Their opinions often clashed.
