“

Hiyaah! Here comes the attendant of the Millennial Guardian!

”

Konoha Koinumaru, best known as simply Konoha, is a playable character in the Arcana Heart series. A young girl from the Koinumaru ninja clan who is part human-part dog, she is the current retainer and best friend of the Millennial Guardian, Kamui Tokinomiya.

Her Arcana is Moriomoto, the Arcana of Nature.

Bio

A descendant of the legendary spirits who have mastered the ninja arts, Konoha grew up learning the the family fighting style by training in the forest and mountains. This prepared her for her turn to become the retainer of the Millennial Guardian- a role she accepted with anticipation.

Appearance

Konoha has fair skin with large brown eyes and neck-length brown hair that is slightly lared. Her bangs and forelocks are tended over her forehead protector, which has a paw etched on it. She has orange and tan shiba ears and tail. On her cheeks are little whisker markings.

She wears an outfit inspired by a school P.E. uniform and ninja outfit. It is composed of the white and blue P.E. top and navy short-shorts, with an orange paw print on her chest where the name usually goes. This is paired with a pair of navy and gold arm guards and finger-less gloves to match her sandals and leg warmers, a large red flowing scarf, fishnet stockings, and a pair of white toe socks. On the side of the leg warmer is a violet rope tied into a bow, held with red spheres. 

Personality

A highly spirited and naive ninja girl who tries to give 100% effort and is unable to entirely relax or calm down- preferring a more active lifestyle. She can be goofy sometimes, but her cuteness and fun-loving nature is very noticeable by her preference of using third-person. She is easily flustered and sensitive, and while she tries to hide her dog parts she often gets too excited, causing them to pop out. At times she will transform into a dog, and is shown to act like one. 

At times she can be clumsy or make mistakes, but she is very dedicated to Kamui and loves getting her attention. She admires her greatly and loves to be spoiled by her.

Story

Arcana Heart

Far from the rest of civilization lives the Koinumaru clan- a group of humans with canine features. In the past they were regarded as monsters and thus live in seclusion up in the mountains.

One day, a dimensional bend near the village caused evil spirits from the Elemental World to cross over and corrupt one of their ninja. It was then the legendary Millennium girl saved them. To repay her for saving the village, the Koinumaru sent one of their members to assist her each time she awakens. This time, Konoha was lucky enough to receive the honor.

In this case, the best way to keep Miss Kamui from harm is to get to the root of this incident myself! Please, try to understand... (Maori Kasuga)

Miss Kasuga, I understand how you feel, but... Konoha cannot just walk away from this. Also, Miss Kamui said she'd rub my tummy if I brought her a stone! (Maori Kasuga with Celestial Stone)

Celestial stones...? Um... Are they any more delicious than your meat buns, Miss Mei-Fang? (Mei-Fang)

Hmm... Tempting, but I think I'll have to pass. As good as your meat buns are, a good tummy rub from Miss Kamui is worth more than all the meat buns in the universe! (Mei-Fang with Celestial Stone)

Konoha only cares about helping Miss Kamui. Sorry I can't be of more help. And ixnay on the mongrel thing...that's mean, you know. (Lieselotte Achenbach)

Miss Petra, I have no idea what you're talking about... Wait a second, do "research" on Konoha?! What the--?! I just felt a chill run down my spine... (Petra Johanna Lagerkvist)

Konoha has no intention of running away... And it seems you don't, either. (Zenia Valov)

Why do you look so sad and unhappy? It wasn't anything Konoha did...right? B-But I'm sorry...for whatever it is! (Elsa la Conti)

If Miss Kamui decides to go there, then Konoha will go there, too! But for now, leaving the National Academy of Metaphysics is not an option. (Clarice de Lanza)

I thank you for the praise... I guess it was praise. But Konoha is NOT a dog! So, when does Konoha get some of those delicious snacks of yours for herself? (Catherine Kyoubashi)

Retrieve the Sistine stones? Konoha has no clue what you're talking about! Man, I don't know anything... (Dorothy Albright)

Um, Miss Akane...! I think you should be talking to Miss Maori about this and not Konoha... (Akane Inuwaka)

Um, Miss Akane...why do you want this thing so darn much? I mean it is all sparkly and shiny and shimmering, but seriously, it's not like it's a meat bun or anything. (Akane Inuwaka with Celestial Stone)

Miss Angelina, while Konoha is flattered that you like me so much, I am now and will always be Miss Kamui's loyal retainer. And I am NOT a dog! (Angelia Avallone)

Um, I hate to be stingy and all, but...I can't give it to you. It's very special to Konoha. Maybe you can ask someone else for one? (With Celestial Stone)

So this is what pure animal rage is like! All mundane thoughts are burned from your consciousness! Konoha's rage burns with the fury of a thousand suns! I will never forgive those who would dare hurt Miss Kamui! Prepare yourself! ARRRRRGH! (Kamui Defeated)

I see. So you're the one who beat Miss Akane? Like her, Miss Kamui is the center of my universe. I will avenge her defeat. But don't think too badly of me, okay? (Akane Defeated)

Wait a second! You're the one who beat up Nazuna, aren't you?! We are both retainers to Miss Kamui, so it is my duty to avenge her defeat. Forgive me for what I am going to do to you. (Nazuna Defeated)

This is a part of my responsibilities. I must harden my heart and endure the psychic pain. Please forgive me! Hiyaah!

Hmm... This can't be good... Please, let it go... For my sake.

This isn't Konoha's fault. Nope, it's not my fault at all... No way... *Sniff* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
