Romina

Romina (ロミナ) is a Blacksmith from Glass' World and Kizuna's party's favorite blacksmith.

Appearance
Romina is a muscular and masculine woman with a red gemstone on her chest.

Personality
Romina reminded Naofumi of Erhard from his summoned world. She is cheerful and quick to laugh but can get serious when the situation calls for it. She talks frankly and can read people fairly well.

While Romina loves her profession and welcomes new challenges, she is willing to throw out any customers that annoy her. She is proud of her work as a blacksmith

Abilities
Romina has not been seen in battle. However, Romina's skill as a blacksmith puts her near the top in her world. She can work with a wide variety of equipment and materials. She is even able to work with the difficult materials from the Guardian Beasts which only a few blacksmiths are permitted to do. Naofumi considers her skill to be greater than Erhard before he started to finish his training but not as skilled as Erhard's Master.

Background
Romina has been Kizuna's blacksmith since near the beginning of Kizuna's time as a hero and since then, she has been working almost exclusively for Glass, Kizuna and L'Arc. It is thanks to her that the three heroes have the guardian beast weapons which they prefer to use.

Volume 8
After the heroes reunited in Glass' World, Kizuna immediately introduces Naofumi to Romina. The heroes commission her to create a scabbard for Raphtalia's Vassal Katana and to fix Naofumi and Rishia's armors which stopped working after they crossed worlds. Romina enthusiastically accepts these new jobs.

Volume 9
A couple days later Romina had completed the work that was given her. Naofumi and Rishia were both given their new armor pieces and were greatly impressed by the quality effectiveness of it. Due to the pieces originating from another world Romina had to spend a long time researching how to make compatible materials but was able to make effective results the first time around. Romina was also able to provide two katanas for Raphtalia. Naofumi and Raphtalia were both surprised by the incredible quality of the equipment Romina had created. Romina also provided materials for the heroes to feed their weapons for upgrades. Romina thanked Naofumi for rescuing Kizuna from the Infinite Labyrinth and then sees all the heroes off as they go to confront Kyo.

Volume 17
After Naofumi returns for a second time to Glass' World, he heads to see Romina to attune his equipment to her world. Romina confesses to Naofumi that she misses Kizuna since the Hunting Tool Hero was kidnapped. Back in the shop, Naofumi shows her the new Barbarian Armor +3 and explains that the Demon Dragon core in the previous armor she made had caused a lot of trouble. She agrees to restore the armor as well as provide a harpoon for Sadeena and modify Filo's morning star. Soon after, Romina completes the rush order, much to Naofumi's satisfaction.

Relationships

 * Heroes
 * Kizuna Kazayama: Kizuna seems to greatly trust Romina and considers to her to be "the best blacksmith [she] knows." They seem to have a great friendship despite their business relationship. Romina works incredibly hard to try to meet any of Kizuna's request.
 * Glass: Romina and Glass seem to have a friendship in addition to their client-merchant relationship. Romina seem to understand Glass and consoled her where Kizuna was kidnapped and taken to the Infinite Labyrinth,
 * Naofumi Iwatani: Romina seems to appreciate Naofumi's bluntness and patronage. She helped Naofumi in the other world, upgrading his armor to the "Barbaroi Armor" and allowed him to use her workshop for creating accessories.
