Towa

Towa (トワ) is an original character introduced in Scarlet Bond and the Queen of Raja.

Appearance
A youthful woman with medium length brown hair and purple eyes. The green portion of her hair is done up in twintails that rest neatly on her shoulder and are held in place by golden jewelry. She wears a simple but elegant white tube-style dress accented with an orange skirt that's attached by her belt. She has golden rings around the tops of her arms and neck as well as a large golden ornament on her belt.

Personality
Towa is a kind and forthright queen who works ceaselessly for the benefit of her people and is all too willing to sacrifice her life for those important to her. While honest to a fault, she can also be slightly calculating, a fact she admitted to when she divulged to Rimuru her reasons for saving Hiiro's life. She stated that beyond just wanting to help him, some part of her also wished that he would feel indebted to her and remain by her side. Due to her strong sense of responsibility, she was racked with guilt and shame by this side of her, criticizing herself as unfair and selfish. After receiving some soothing words of encouragement from Rimuru, she eventually learned to accept that part of her.

Like all her predecessors, Towa has a certain integrity present in her character, earning her the admiration and respect of Ultima.

Background
Towa is the reigning queen of the small kingdom of Raja. She has used the magical power of her tiara, which has been passed down in the royal family from generation to generation to neutralize the poison in the mines of her country and protect the people of Raja. However, the price to pay for this was a curse that ate away at her life.

Trivia

 * Towa gave up a lot of her life-force to name Hiiro, in order to save his life. It's unknown if she regained it after Ultima brought her back to life.
