Iol

A Leone who utilises her race's physical attributes to wield a greatsword much larger than she is. She lives together with Mikeyu as family having run away from her village at a young age and survived through wholehearted belief in "survival of the fittest". Refers to herself in the third person as "Io".

At the start of the story, she works as a freelance 狩猟屋 (bounty hunter cum assassin) for the Gaidal trading company without telling Mikeyu to help the pair make ends meet. After she quits, she moves in with Mikeyu into the fortress and is generally in charge of cooking for the party. The food she cooks is delicious enough to enable employment at restaurants, were it not for her "unusual" cooking methods...

Spoiler

Iol hails from 天枯断層, a region mainly inhabited by beastmen and blighted as a site of one of the battles the god Fiusia fought in his crusade. Her parents were the strongest fighters in the village and lost their lives when Io was young defending the village from the monsters incursions which blighted the village for generations. Iol blamed the villagers for abandoning her parents and left on her own, shortly after she saved Mikeyu and started living together with her. Iol with the party's help eventually avenges her parents by slaying the monster responsible for instigating the incursions into her village and learns the truth behind her parents' death.
