Imiya Leuthurn Reethela Teleti Kuwariz (イミア=リュスルン=リーセラ=テレティ=クーアリーズ Imia Ryusurun Rīsera Tereti Kuārīzu?), Imiya (イミア Imia?) for short, is a mole beast-man and the first beast-man acquired by Naofumi.

Appearance[]

Imiya is from a race of mole beast-men, but she favors the mole side so generally, she looks like a mole. Her human characteristics are reminiscent of a werewolf and her stature is quite short. Her height only measures up to Naofumi's waist.

Imiya had significant scarring on her back due to past abuse. However, upon seeing them Naofumi healed them.

Personality[]

At first, Imiya was incredibly timid due to the excessive physical abuse she had received before being sold to the slave trader. However, she slowly started to recover mentally with Naofumi's kind care and being around the other village children. She slowly came out of her shell and did her best to get Naofumi's approval. Now that she is free to be herself, Imiya has turned out to be a kind, obedient child.

Apparently Lumos as a whole are a fairly submissive race.

Abilities[]

Imiya's combat abilities are unknown but she has received continuous training and leveling-up sessions since becoming part of Naofumi's Village. As a lumo, she can dig incredibly fast in the ground and create traps for enemies to fall into.

Imiya's main talent lies in her accessory crafting abilities. She had received training from both Naofumi and the accessory dealer. She is able to create accessories on par with Naofumi which focus on having functional enchantments. When Therese saw one of Imiya's accessories, she was almost overwhelmed in awe. She is also able to make medicine, clothing and other daily necessities.

Magic[]

As a Lumo, Imiyia has an affinity with earth magic. Being trained in the village she is able to cast up to drifa-class and can do cooperative magic.

Ritual Magic[]

  • Drifa Earth Reverse「ドライファ・アースリバース Doraifaa Aasu Ribaasu

This spell mixes the content within the ground, causing buried objects to be ejected into the air.[1]

Cooperative Magic[]

  • Continental Cleft「地割れ Jiware (lit. Fissure)

A Cooperative Magic using Way of the Dragon Vein. This spell creates a massive split in the ground which can be used to split apart and disorient enemy forces. This was cast with Melty, Wyndia and Imiya working together.[2]

Background[]

Not much is known about Imiya's past except that it was difficult. At one point, her uncle had to quit his blacksmith training under Erhard's Master to take care of Imiya and her siblings. Eventually, the group was captured by slave hunters and separated. She was physically abused as a slave, more so than others. As a result, she has substantial physical and psychological scars by the time Naofumi enters her life.

Chronology[]

Volume 10[]

As Naofumi started buying villager slaves to repopulate Lurolona Village, he eventually bought Imiya who happened to be the first beastman in the new village. Naofumi chose Imiya for her race's reputation of working well with small and detailed worked - hoping that she would be able to create medicines or accessories for trade. She slowly started to bond with the other village children while Naofumi trained her to create medicines and accessories. When slave hunters attempted to take over the villager she was able to help repel the slave hunters.

Volume 11[]

During his time in Zeltoble, Naofumi came across Imiya's Uncle Tollynemiya who was being sold as a slave. Naofumi bought him and the two Lumo's reunited in the village. By this time, Imiya had already become a talented crafter and could make the necessities for the village.

Volume 15[]

While Naofumi and his party were in Q'ten Lo, the Accessory Dealer had stopped by the village and given some instruction to Imiya on how to create accessories. Since then she had become the de factor accessory maker in the village.

Volume 16[]

In the aftermath of the battle against the Phoenix, Naofumi's newly released emotions had left him confused and mentally unstable. He had misinterpreted many people's respect for him into a desire to sleep with him. He gave them a chance but everyone (including Imiya) refused. Sadeena then set him straight.

Volume 17[]

Before Naofumi's group headed to Glass' World for a second time, Imiya had created an incredibly powerful accessory called the Two Spirit Charm. This accessory proved to be incredibly useful during the travels in Glass' World.

Trivia[]

  • Due to his inexperience with beastmen, Naofumi initially thought Imiya was a boy but was later corrected by Raphtalia.
  • Imiya is apparently a common Lumo name which makes her full name necessary to distinguish herself.
