Etowa Waz is a young apprentice and disciple of Jirou, and works at his establishment (which is currently a street stall/booth). She is noted to be from the Canaan tribe, which is also the ethnic group associated with the sailor uniform costumes in stock at the secondhand shop.
Etowa is a young member of the Canaan tribe and becomes Jirou Ayase’s first official apprentice. Introduced through the guild’s apprentice agency, she is a remarkably gifted mathematician hired to assist with his market stall. Her sharp mind, energetic speech, and cheerful personality—paired with her distinctive feline features—make her a memorable and valuable part of Jirou’s growing group.
Etowa is a werecat, classified as a “Level 3” beast-person. She has a feline head with a blue-gray striped pattern and white fur underneath. Standing around 140 cm tall, her entire body is covered in soft, dense fur. She styles the fur on her head with oil so it resembles human hair.
Her hands and feet are slightly sturdier than a human’s but remain fully functional, and are also covered in fur. She typically wears simple, modest clothing, but she occasionally dons her tribe’s traditional outfit, which coincidentally resembles a sailor-style uniform.
Etowa is lively, talkative, and highly observant. She speaks in rapid, logical bursts, often working through her thoughts aloud. Despite occasionally facing cautious reactions due to her tribe’s appearance, she maintains a positive outlook and confidently highlights her strengths during her interview.
She is dedicated and hardworking, taking pride in arriving early to prepare the shop. Her intelligence and mathematical talent allow her to handle complex tasks with ease. A characteristic habit, typical for her tribe, is her soft purring or nuzzling when shown friendly affection—something she views as normal communication among Canaan people.
