March

**March**  (マーチ, *Māchi*, ***March*** ?) is a young girl from Ninannah who became Fushi's mother figure and one of his resurrected companions in the *New World Arc* two whole centuries after her untimely demise.

## Background

March was born in one of the many villages of Ninannah to an unnamed mother and father. An innocent young girl who simply dreamed of becoming a grownup, she was chosen as a sacrifice to the Spirit Bear, Oniguma, but was rescued by her friend, Parona.

## Appearance

March is a young girl with long black hair and brown eyes. Per Ninannah customs for children, March bore dark facial paint marks during her time in the village. She wears a rope headband, a light brown dress, and is usually seen carrying around a toy crab.

While attending elementary school in the modern era, she wears a long sleeved dress and keeps her headband.

## Personality

March is shown to be playful, inquisitive, and highly excitable, preferring to play "house" with her dolls and Parona, and make "food" out of mud. Initially, her dream was simply to become a mother, and she often expressed her impatience with growing up. Befitting of her age, March has a strong sense of fairness and largely lacks the emotional maturity to overcome difficult situations, becoming greatly upset when told she was to be sacrificed before she could fulfill her dream.

March also holds manners in high regard, becoming frustrated when first meeting and seemingly being ignored by Fushi, who was incapable of speech at the time. Conversely, she is eager to repay gifts or acts of kindness with her own, offering "food" to Parona for her handmade dolls.

March strongly believes taking a life, and by extension, taking advantage of a life, is deeply immoral. She openly protested against Parona's attempt to behead the Oniguma's corpse and refused to relent despite Parona's insistence that it would be the proof needed to end the sacrificial rituals.

By the time of the modern era, her personality hasn't changed much due to her unusual circumstances as a long lived spirit. March still enjoys playing children's games and hates being treated unfairly, becoming visibly upset after being called a liar on her first day of school.

* Natural Tree Climber

March is agile enough to climb tall trees barehanded and traverse their branches with ease to retrieve their fruit. In addition, while she herself never had to, Fushi was able to quickly run across and jump between large branches using her form.

* Small Size

As she is only a small child, March's diminutive stature makes it easier for her to hide and crawl into small spaces.

* March is the second human form to be acquired by Fushi, and the fourth form overall.
