Gorou/Lore

==Personality==
Gorou, like all of Watatsumi Island's inhabitants, is a loyal supporter of Sangonomiya Kokomi. Kokomi trusts him to lead the Watatsumi Army as its primary general, being sincere, determined and courageous. He has a strong sense of camaraderie and gets along well with all of the soldiers under his command, who in turn share the same sentiment and speak to him if any issues arise, including new recruits. Kazuha describes Gorou as a person who says what is on his mind, uninhibited by others' feelings.
In the heat of battle, Kokomi remarks that Gorou tends to have a habit of letting the adrenaline rush to his head, often requiring someone to keep him in check when he heads to the battlefield. While he considers himself to be mostly inexperienced due to his age, he tries his best to help out with any problems that may arise. He is comfortable speaking with others apart from Yae Miko, as the kitsune enjoys messing with him that he instinctively hides from her if given the chance.
Gorou has dog blood in his veins and shares several of their traits, including the ability to mostly understand what they are saying from a single bark. His ears also twitch accordingly depending on what emotion is evoked. If he is particularly happy, his tail begins wagging, something that he considers embarrassing, yet is unable to control and is sometimes oblivious to. He also wishes to be taller and more muscular so that his soldiers can identify him easily on the battlefield.
He is fond of sweets due to their rarity in military life, but avoids onions as they make his eyes tear up. This once lead to him crying in front of his men, greatly embarrassing him. He is also fond of mountaineering as it builds strength and camaraderie, expressing a desire to scale Liyue's mountains if he gets the chance to travel there.
==Appearance==
Gorou uses the medium male model. He has fair skin, light orange-brown hair with a white section, and teal blue eyes. He has erect pointy ears that are white inside and a bushy tail with a white underside.
==Official Introduction==
A loyal and brave general of Watatsumi island. Born with a beast-like fighting intuition and tenacious will, he can find a way to victory even in the most critical moments.
He leads the Watatsumi troops, who have far fewer military resources compared to the Shogunate. Gorou strives to ensure that the inhabitants of this island will live in safety and peace.
Outsiders may not be able to imagine that Gorou, someone who faced thousands of enemies on the battlefield, is actually very affable and gets along with all his subordinates.
In Gorou's eyes, the people around him are not only his brave soldiers, they are also his beloved companions. They are like treasure to be cared for and protected. The land that sustains us, the comrades who support us, the faith that encourages us to move forward... These are the most precious things for Gorou, to whom he devotes his loyalty and courage.
Within Gorou exists a soul as vast and reliable as the earth.

==Trivia==
*Gorou's English voice actor, Cory Yee, also voices Draff, Huffman, Six-Fingered José, ???, Farrah, and the Abyss Lectors.
*After Gorou was employed for Yae Publishing House's "That's Life" column, Miko developed the pen name "Ms. Hina" for Gorou without telling him to boost the column's sales. Ms. Hina's appearance depicted on a pamphlet and standee strongly resembles a female version of Gorou, with the Ms. Hina Fan Club mistaking Gorou as her blood relative. Gorou is aware of Ms. Hina's existence, but wasn't told that "Ms. Hina" is his pen name, nor does he realize that the visual design is based on him.
**Ms. Hina has gained some popularity in the Fortress of Meropide.
* Gorou wets his tail when he needs to move silently through the forest so the fur won't likely get snagged on branches or twigs.Event Alchemical Ascension, Potion Requests: Gorou
