🌸 Meet Ume

Chaotic, curious, and just a little scatterbrained, Ume is the team’s alchemist, healer, and walking encyclopedia of strange knowledge.

She doesn’t just notice things—she catalogs them. Leaves, bark, enemy patterns, potion results, even the snacks she eats. Her notebook is overflowing with ink smudges and half-finished sketches, all in the pursuit of one thing: to learn everything she can.

Ume’s experiments don’t always go to plan. Sometimes they fizzle, sometimes they explode, but she believes mistakes are where the magic really happens. She’ll laugh at her failures, dust herself off, and then turn around and use what she’s learned to save someone else. That optimism is her secret power—the belief that discovery, even messy discovery, always leads somewhere worth going.

She isn’t just a tinkerer, though. Ume is a healer at heart. Her concoctions and tinctures have pulled the group back from the brink more than once, and over time she begins to unlock something deeper: a strange supernatural healing tied to the plum, or umeboshi, from which she takes her name.

But Ume’s biggest challenge isn’t her craft. It’s connection. She can lose herself in ideas, forgetting the people right in front of her. Her journey isn’t just about what she learns—it’s about learning to be present, to balance discovery with belonging.

Tall and slender, with long pink hair and gauzy alchemist robes, she cuts a striking figure among the group. She might wander off mid-conversation, distracted by a peculiar mushroom, but when things go sideways, you’ll be glad she’s on your side.

A little chaotic. A little brilliant. Always caring.
That’s Ume—heart and mind stitched together with curiosity, carrying the team forward one experiment at a time.

👤 Quick Profile

• Name: Ume
• Age: 15–16
• Appearance: Tall and slender with flowing pink hair, layered gauzy robes, and a belt lined with potions and tools. She looks equal parts mystic and mad scientist.
• Personality: Intelligent, chaotic, and endlessly curious. She journals everything, often mid-conversation, but remains surprisingly forgiving and emotionally grounded.
• Arc: Introduced as a quirky healer, she slowly reveals her deeper powers in alchemy and battlefield control. In time, she becomes the first to forgive Kabocha, reminding the group that trust and compassion are as powerful as any weapon.
• Power: Potions and tools to buff allies, debuff enemies, and manipulate the battlefield. She thrives on improvisation.
• Flaw: Trusts too easily, which makes her vulnerable to manipulation. In Season 2, this openness is tested, forcing her to reconsider how and when to give her trust.

🎭 Why She Matters

Ume is chaos with a purpose. She breaks tension, reframes problems, and challenges the others to see beyond the obvious. Where Kabu chases legends and Kabocha demands strategy, Ume reminds them to stay curious—and that knowledge is just as much a weapon as steel.

Her warmth makes her the glue of the group. But her trusting nature, while endearing, sets up some of the hardest lessons ahead.
