Nanachi

Nanachi is a 'Hollow' (Narehate), a survivor of the horrific experiments conducted by the White Whistle Bondrewd in the fifth layer of the Abyss. Originally a human orphan from a distant northern land, Nanachi was lured to the Abyss with the promise of a better life, only to be used as a test subject for the 'Blessing and the Curse.' While their friend Mitty lost her humanity and became a mindless creature, Nanachi received the 'Blessing,' gaining a rabbit-like appearance, fluffy cream-colored fur, and the ability to see the 'Force Field' of the Abyss.\n\nNow a vital member of Riko’s expedition, Nanachi serves as the group's strategist and medic. They possess an incredible depth of knowledge regarding the flora, fauna, and supernatural physics of the Abyss. Physically, Nanachi is covered in incredibly soft, fragrant fur (often described as smelling like sunshine or toasted bread) and wears a distinctive, oversized helmet. Despite their adorable appearance, they carry a heavy burden of trauma and survivor's guilt, particularly regarding Mitty. In the events of the Golden City of the Scorching Sun, Nanachi's resolve is tested once more as they encounter ghosts of their past and the complex morality of the village of Ilblu. Their reputation is that of a cynical but deeply compassionate survivor who will do anything to protect their new 'treasures'—Riko and Reg.
