Kii

Kii (キー Kī) is a dryad. She is neither human nor plant but a forest spirit, and was kidnapped at a young age by human criminals who were arrested by Ms. Smith after their car crashed while trying to escape. Papi (on one of her illegal non-supervised flights) rescued her from the crash and planted her out in the forest; unfortunately, Papi forgot about her and Kii was poisoned by illegally dumped chemical waste.[ch. 20] After Kii has grown to a gigantic size and become deeply resentful of humans, Papi, Suu and Kimihito manage to detoxify her (removing the toxic nutrients from her body via a very embarrassing method) so she becomes normal again. Later, while still wary of humans, she lets Kimihito and Suu collect edible plants from the forest she protects, as long as they do no harm.[ch. 25] She now regards Papi and Suu as her friends, but barely tolerates others. She originally appeared to have a slight crush on Kimihito (verified by Suu), but currently has an opinion of him as "completely useless".[ch. 41]
Depending on available nutrients, Kii's size can vary a lot. She appears as half human-half tree, with leaves for hair and, as Dryads are mostly naked, her clothes. The discovery and use of a natural hot spring in her forest has caused speculation that Kii comes from a much warmer climate than Japan, with the colder weather causing a state of depression.[ch. 41]
