Raphtalia

ラフタリア

Raphtalia is a Tanuki-type Demi-Human who became the first genuine member of the Shield Hero's party after he bought her as a slave.
She experiences several notable changes throughout the story. Upon her introduction, Raphtalia appears as a child with long, unkempt hair and a filthy cloth gown. After Naofumi purchases her, he cuts her hair to a manageable length, gives her a bath, and buys her a much more appropriate set of clothes for adventuring.
After several weeks of traveling with Naofumi, Raphtalia's body inexplicably changes, and she takes on the appearance of a teenager or young adult. It is revealed that demi-humans grow in relation to the progression of their levels, which caused Raphtalia's rapid development.
