Bio

Komano Manato is a member of Spook Shack—and someone others can count on. After losing his family during the fall of the old capital, he grew up alone on the Waifei Peninsula. His life changed when he took in two street children, A-Cing and A-Yuet. The three became a family, relying on and caring for one another. Looking after them is what matters most to Manato.

Now enrolled at a company-affiliated school in the city, Manato has earned a reputation as a fearsome delinquent. His imposing appearance doesn’t help, but the rumors couldn’t be further from the truth: he’s gentle, generous, and quick to help.

At first, Manato tried to correct the misunderstanding. When that didn’t work, he found a silver lining. His reputation keeps unwanted attention at bay—and gives him an excuse to investigate school ghost stories and stand up to students who are being bullied. His grades, however, may be the one part of the delinquent stereotype he truly lives up to.

Personality & Background

Manato’s straightforward, friendly nature often attracts attention wherever he goes. Market vendors and neighbors are fond of him, regularly sending him home with gifts and friendly reminders.

After his parents died, Manato learned to take care of himself—and others. He became a capable cook and mended the clothes his younger siblings tore while playing. At his school internship, his strength, which he sometimes struggles to control, proved invaluable to the miners.

Though his size and rough style can seem intimidating, Manato is a calm, soft-hearted caretaker who puts his family and friends first. He’s fiercely protective, willing to take a hit if it means keeping someone else safe.

Appearance & Style

Manato is a tall, powerfully built canine Thiren with red hair, red dog-like ears, and a fluffy brown tail. His rugged appearance is accented by visible scars and distinctive markings.

His usual outfit pairs an open-collar white shirt with a knee-length, spike-studded black leather jacket, green bottoms, and red gloves. He carries a large sword or machete-style weapon on his back. In a more domestic look, he wears a white shirt, green shorts, and a pink heart-print apron.
