Dwarf Scout

**Dwarf Scout** (鉱人 (ドワーフ) の少女斥候, *Dowāfu no Shōjo Sekkō*) is a young Dwarf who is a member of the party of rookies Young Warrior meets.

## Appearance

Dwarf Scout is a short girl with hair styled into small pigtails. Due to her young age, Dwarf Scout does not sport a beard like other female Dwarves.

## Personality

Due to the Dwarves' enmity with Elves, Dwarf Scout is prone to arguing with Elf Acolyte.

## Chronology

### Year One Volume 2

When her party goes to map an abandoned mine, Dwarf Scout and Elf Acolyte were assigned to scout the area, and they continued to trade barbs at each other. When Goblins attack the group, she protects Elf Acolyte so that he can remain stationary and fire his dart gun. Once the Goblins are killed, Dwarf Scout recovers several pictographs from the deceased hobgoblin which she couldn't identify because she admitted she was illiterate. Though she is annoyed when Elf Acolyte brags about his literacy, she is overjoyed when he refuses to admit he cannot read the Goblins' "language".

*Note: Events in this point occur only in the manga*.
The party deduces that a warlock had drawn the pictographs, and are attacked by the warlock immediately afterward. Dwarf Scout kills additional Goblins ambushing them from behind, but ends up being wounded by a poisoned spear causing her to collapse. As Elf Acolyte removes the poison with *Cure*, she admits she never thought she would owe an Elf her life. After the party is forced to flee the mine after Young Warrior and Professor wound the Warlock, she and the rookies plead Young Warrior to stay with them, becoming happy when he agreed.

### Year One Volume 3

Later, Professor had decided to try and expand the Party's abilities by educating them to read and write, all the while continuing to get in childish arguments with Elf Acolyte. When Heavy Warrior collapses due to over working himself and Martial Artist volunteering to cover his Quest, Dwarf Scout prepares to go off on the Quest.

*Note: Events in this point occur only in the manga*.
Journeying into a cave and falling into a *massive* underground city, she and her Party investigate while marveling at the intact but abandon city. They are joined by Gold-Ranked Adventurer Barbarian who aids the Party against the surprise attack of Chaos worshipping Dark Elves riding atop large spiders.

Dwarf Scout and her Party were able to fend off the Dark Elves with Barbarian's help and learn about the Dark Elves' plans to revive an old powerful king and his undead army for their plans. This goes horribly wrong though as the Undead King slays the Dark Elves and attacks everyone around him, causing a massive collapse of the cave. Dwarf Scout and her Party just make it out in the nick of time, ending the Dark Elves' plot and stopping the earthquakes.

*Note: End of Manga only events*.
## Abilities

Despite being a Dwarf and a scout, Dwarf Scout is an accomplished scout, being able to keep her Party safe and informed.

## Trivia

* According to Heavy Warrior, some Races and Classes/Jobs don't mix, the example he used: Dwarves don't make for good scouts due to not having nimble enough fingers and not being known for their speed. Making Dwarf Scout an oddity for being an successful scout.
