Rutina

**Rutina** is the fifth party member and slave of Michio Kaga. She is also the daughter of the former Earl of Selmar, and cousin of Cassia.

## Appearance

Rutina is a beautiful elf with long golden hair and blue eyes, much like her cousin Cassia. It has been noted that the two look very much alike.

## Personality

Rutina originally had a headstrong and independent personality, stating she would be willing to betray Michio if it helps her in some way. She became meeker and more submissive after being disciplined by Roxanne.

Rutina is also rather proud of her background as a noble, often bragging of her past experiences, despite her current status as a slave. She also talks about how she will become a noble again in the future. Once she becomes more adapted to her new life as a slave she slowly loses this proud nature, having come to love her new life that, ironically, is far more luxurious than when she was a noble.

After witnessing the prowess of Michio and his party, she has developed a slight inferiority complex. Realizing that her family forced her onto Michio as a way to help her survive the world, he takes it upon himself to help her properly train and explore the labyrinths so as she will learn to survive and grow stronger. Once she gains the Wizard title, she grows stronger and begins to lose this inferiority complex.

Rutina was rather cold and aloof to Michio and the others after her family sold her as a sex slave for her own good, something even Michio was reluctant to take upon himself. As she spends time with him and the rest of the harem does Rutina slowly lose this haughty demeanor. Once she sees he really is a good man does she become warmer and humbler, now desiring to be at his beck and call just like the others.

Unlike her fellow harem members, Rutina was rather reluctant to engage in sex, being very shy naked with the other girls and in the bedroom. As she only allowed consent previously due to fear of displeasing Roxanne. However, her consent with him does become genuine after Michio is gentle with her like he is with the others and finds the ordeal quite enjoyable and comes to love Michio just as the others.
