Obi (Snow White With The Red Hair)

Obi, also known as Zen Wisteria's Immediate Knight and Messenger for the Second Prince of Clarines, is one of the main characters from the Snow White With The Red Hair series.
== Charactah Account ==
Obi's a former assassin and is currently Zen's Immediate Knight. He was first seen threatening Shirayuki after being employed by his previous employer, Marquess Haruka. He is currently working within the presence of Zen as at the moment he is the holder of his 'reins'. He is now watching and acting as a bodyguard to Shirayuki and a messenger for Zen.
Obi is rather an aloof character and whilst he holds Prince Zen Wistaria and Shirayuki dear to him, he holds them at a distance not wanting them to know very much about his past. Obi continues to utilise the skills and knowledge from his previous line of work to find information to protect Zen, Mitsuhide, and Shirayuki, and to pursue those that seek to harm them and threaten his new lease on life.
It is shown that prior to meeting Zen and company, he maintained no relationships nor friendships that could tie him down, and was considerably more aloof and seldom relied on others for help. However, since being with Zen and company, he is shown to rely on those around him and has the motivation to protect and watch those around him flourish.
