Somali

Somali (ソマリ Somari) is an original character created by Yako Kureishi in the Somali and the Forest Spirit manga and anime series. She will be voiced by Inori Minase in the anime.

Appearance
She has large amber colored eyes and medium length black hair. Somali often wears a cape featuring horns as part of her disguise as a minotaur.

Personality
Playful and very affectionate to animals particularly fluffy cuddly ones. Somali's childlike joy extends to her agreeing she will remain in sight, but not all the time. She has a forgiving nature to those she considers her friends. Somali can become upset at the prospect that her father will leave her.

Story Overview
Somali sits within the forest chained and in tattered clothes before she is found by Golem, and addresses him as father.

Wearing a cape she chases the wildlife, having forgotten to remain in sight of Golem. She is excited to see a city, the biggest one they have been in.

After eating she stays in an inn room as she asked for. When Golem negotiates in a store, Somali wanders off to follow a cat she found. She is rescued by Golem before the cat guesses she is human, and this is a fact she is to keep to herself with the regarding humans as food environment she is in.

Waking up from camping, Somali is very pleased to see and catch a fish, even more pleased to see some bunnies. In her excitement she trips and scrapes her knee. She sees Shizuno appear and has her leg tended to. Heading back to his home in the woods, she meets Yabashira and has her knee fully bandaged.

Somali is happy, indeed adamant to help Yabashira tidy the house as Golem learns about medicine from Shizuno.

Making her way to Anthole City, she is largely confined to Kokilila and Giina's restaurant as Golem works as a waiter to save up for supplies to cross the desert where humans have been sighted. With him working hard at that, Somali is told her question can wait for later, and removing her hood at night is not noticed by him. She cries, feeling that her dad wants to leave her.

Golem
She views Golem as a father figure and gives all the corresponding emotions to a being that cannot feel. Somali insists he was scared when someone was outside the inn room, and also thinks he is cool for fixing her costume horn. Somali calls him for help when she is on her own and scared. She is concerned with the feeling that he wants to complete his mission as fast as possible, at which point he will leave her, but Somali wants to stay with him forever. When she cannot sleep at night he counts stars for her, one reason among any why he is a dad to her.

Shizuno
Coming across him near a woodland area, Somali has her injured knee helped by him, and she was under the impression he was a kid like herself.

Yabashira
She praises him as a genius for making sweets this good when he offers her cake. She is happy to help with carrying laundry as they stay at his home.

Kikila
Meeting him in Anthole City, after spending time together he is noted by Golem to be the first child friend she has ever made.
