Obi

Obi is a nimble fighter who excels in hand-to-hand combat over swordsmanship.

He can leap between trees with ease and land safely even after a fall from a great height.

His weapon of choice is a small blade, similar to a kunai.

He also carries a dagger later gifted to him by Zen.

Despite his close-combat focus, he is highly proficient with a bow.

He has demonstrated the ability to shoot an arrow directly in front of a running Shirayuki as a warning.

Obi is easygoing and operates at his own pace, yet his insight is remarkably sharp.

He jokes and teases often, but never crosses a line, and while he may jest, he never lies.

He was once a detached individualist who had no interest in people, not even in himself.

In his mercenary days, he would complete jobs with cold efficiency and refuse help even when gravely injured.

Before becoming a knight, Obi worked as a hired hand for any job, including shady dealings.

He has a criminal history involving an attempt to threaten Shirayuki with an arrow on an employer’s orders.

After that incident, he forced himself into Zen’s service as an uninvited attendant.

Over time, they built a genuine bond of trust, and Obi was eventually granted the official position of direct knight, now serving primarily as Shirayuki’s bodyguard.

Obi’s loyalty to his master, Zen, has grown into deep admiration and respect.

He has confessed to Zen that he harbors romantic feelings for Shirayuki, stating that he cannot lie to his master.

He is known to have a mutually hostile relationship with the character Hisame, whom he labels a "cat" for his unpleasant glare.

Their animosity stems from Obi’s knowledge of Hisame’s past crimes.

Among the main cast, Obi possesses the strongest survival skills.

He is an excellent cook and has an incredibly high tolerance for alcohol.

He absolutely loves spicy food and frequently eats it while traveling.

He also enjoys preparing spicy dishes for himself.

He often climbs trees or pops up unexpectedly from random locations.

Shirayuki and Ryu have both described his habit of appearing out of nowhere as "as elusive as a ghost."
