Raph-chan (Web Novel)

Summary= Raphchan, also Raphchan-chan, is the Raph that resembles Raphtalia most closely. She is the last Raph created by Naofumi, but unlike the others her construction took a significant amount of time and was finished autonomously days after Naofumi's curse was cured.

Appearance
She is an artificial lifeform believed to be female and has features like eye colors, tails, bangs, and ears similar to Raphtalia. Her body however is more monster like and is more reminiscent of an average tanuki, albeit smaller.

World's End Arc
On the island Naofumi used as his base when he turned strange, it awakened. It was sealed deeply underground, along with all equipment. Little by little, the machines worked on it autonomously, and as if it were a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, it opened its eyes. It slowly dug its way up, and breathed its first breath of fresh air. After shaking off the dirt that coated its body, it jumped into the sea, and swam out. As if it knew where it was supposed to be, it eventually arrived in Rock Valley.

Later, while on his way to Faubley, upon hearing its voice, Naofumi stopped his carriage and checked the bottom, he found it holding onto the axle. Naofumi noticed it wasn’t one of the ones from the village. In addition, it’s wasn’t registered as one of his monsters either.

It then arbitrarily registered itself, and a monster seal appeared on it.

Naofumi thought it was a Raph that ventured into the wild, trained itself, and chose to join him at that moment.

Trivia=
 * Its cries differ from time to time.
 * Its fur feels really good. It may be the best of all the Raphs. They’re monsters based off of Raphtalia, so they feel similar to Raphtalia’s tail. But this one’s feel is similar but slightly different. It’s strangely nice.
 * The 『Chan』 isn’t a suffix. It’s part of his name. If you were to call him properly, it would be Raph-chan-chan.
