Mufin

Mufin is Mari's drone companion and serves as her primary means of transport. By extent, he also serves one of the protagonist's allies as they proceed through Mago City.
== Throughout SANABI ==
Mufin first appears shortly after the protagonist's arrival in Mago City, tailing him and watching him from a distance. The protagonist soon takes notice, however, and confronts the drone. It reveals to be owned by Mari, and guides him to her, where she expresses joy upon being reunited with him. The trio are soon attacked by a large crusher, forcing Mari to flee atop Mufin. After the protagonist saves the two from a long fall, Mufin is later seen being used to light up the protagonist's arm while he works on it, much to Mari's irritation.
Mufin continues to serve as Mari's ride for most of the story. After a missile strike knocks the protagonist into the crusher's lair, Mufin attempts to save his life with Mari, but he proves too heavy for the drone to successfully lift, even at maximum power. As a result, the protagonist drops down into the garbage dump, allowing Mari to fly to safety.
Mufin later attempts to save the protagonist's life when they are attacked by a security mech by hijacking another mech, attempting to use its laser cannon to destroy its opponent. Unfortunately, Mufin's mech is destroyed during its charging sequence, sending Mufin flying away. Mufin is ultimately unharmed, however.
When they proceed into the factory, Mufin is small enough to accompany Mari through the vents, and aids Mari in saving the protagonist's life once again by helping her hack into the core guardian. When the Overseer begins to rip the factory apart, they flee through a ventilation shaft in a flying car, but Mari crashes through the ceiling, knocking herself and Mufin unconscious. Unable to save them both at once, the protagonist chooses to save Mari's life, leaving Mufin to fall and be destroyed on impact.
After regaining consciousness, Mari finds Mufin's body, and mourns his death. The protagonist provides her with a replacement drone, capable of cloaking, but Mari continues to mourn her drone companion. The protagonist chastises her for her attachment to Mufin, claiming that her drone isn't comparable to a real person, causing her to have a mental breakdown. Afterwards, acting as if nothing is wrong, Mari accepts the new drone, leaving Mufin behind.
== Character ==
Mufin is a small, spherical orange drone, with two small "arms" hanging off of its sides and two handle mounted on its back and underside. Its face consists of a monochromatic screen, with teal eyes that can change expression. Although it cannot verbally communicate outside of various beeps, it is capable of expressing a wide variety of emotions, as well as holographically projecting information.
Like its owner, Mufin expresses a lot of playful energy, and its mood often seems to mirror her own. Also like its owner, it frequently expresses fear and nervousness in dire situations, though it loyally remains close by nonetheless. It appears to be particularly afraid of the factory Overseer, expressing visible terror at the idea of having to proceed past it again in Mari's plan.
== Trivia ==
* Mufin is named after Mari's childhood cat, who died sometime prior to her mother's death.
