Karin/Relationships

## Fena Houtman

It is presumed that Karin would spend casual time, become a close friend and possibly have an affectionate relationship with Fena during their journey after she first meets her and the other samurai in her crew, while also being loyal to her captain for their adventures like the other samurai. It is shown that Karin will share a room and bunk bed with Fena during their voyage in the Bonito II submarine ship they're travelling in.

After Fena arrives at Goblin Island, Karin was the first compatriot besides Yukimaru to meet Fena, as she gave her a tour of the island where she takes her to the blacksmith workshop, but seems to have trouble as Fena's curiosity of the island distracts her from paying attention, much to her vexation. Despite this, she meets up with Fena and Makaba as she takes them to Shitan as well as Kaede and Enju later on. The next day, when she berated Salman and Otto before she, Fena, and the rest of the group were leaving, she becomes a bit surprised seeing Fena comfort the two men and bid farewells.

At one point during the journey to Libar-Oberstein, Karin scolds Fena of being late for the latter's training, where she helped Fena by lending her rifle to train her sharpshooting skills with, which ends with Karin getting a nose bandage by Fena accidentally bumping into her and making her furious at her. When Fena asks for assistance on training earlier in which Karin declines, she also proclaimed to Fena that she doesn't recall being close to her as friends since they've met; despite this statement, as well as her brash behavior towards Fena at times, it may be presumed that her behavior will grow more mellow towards her and she will open up more to Fena as their friendship may grow throughout the course of their voyage.

After arriving at Orleans and entering the hidden underground chamber where they find the coordinates, she and the other samurai see that O'Malley and her crew had taken Fena hostage, and Karin then confronted them to give away the coordinates in exchange for Fena's safety. This hints that Karin was willing to save Fena's life, establishing her loyalty and growing friendship towards Fena.

She later thought and felt concerned about her as she and the others plan to rescue Fena and Yukimaru on the Blue Giant, which they did later on.

She was seen alongside him and Tsubaki in the first episode as the archer helped kill soldiers during Fena, Salman and Otto's escape from Shangri-La.

### Kaede
