* TheAtoner: Decided to raise Uzoi out of guilt for having killed her mother and having his own family eat her flesh, causing their death too.

This is a character sub-page for Manga/SomaliAndTheForestSpirit. Tropes belonging to specific characters should go below.
----
[[folder:Somali]]
The tituiar main character, a young human girl who was found one day by a golem. Following that encounter, she is adopted by him and the two start on a journey to find more humans.
----
* CheerfulChild: Somali's cheerfulness is only matched by her boundless curiosity.
* ConstantlyCurious: As mentioned above, Somali's incredibly curious towards everything, which considering her penchant for getting lost, is often a problem for the golem.
* DubNameChange: The English release of the manga changes Somali's name to Somari, possibly to avoid connections with [[UsefulNotes/{{Somalia}} the country Somalia and avoid referencing Somali pirates.]]
* GenkiGirl: Whenever Somali does something, she does it full of energy and excitement, never slowing down when it comes to satisfying her interests, with only the words and actions of her "Dad" being able to keep her in check.
* InTheHood: Somali specifically wears a hooded cloak around other monsters to hide not her identity but her species. The false horns allow her to pass as a minotaur child.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Golem]]
Somali's adoptive father, a golem who during a routine patrol of his forest stumbled upon the young girl. He is searching for humans in order to give Somali a permanent home, as he does not have much time left in this world.
----
* {{Cyclops}}: While he normally has an EyelessFace, when serious, the golem opens the center of his face to show a single eye, which has numerous potential uses, from analyzing the structural makeup of anything to firing a deadly EyeBeam that can vaporise almost everything in its path.
* FeelNoPain: After breaking a piece of himself off to give to Shizuno in exchange for learning how to make medicine, Somali expresses concern about the golem's well-being, to which he explains that golems have no sense of pain. Which means that no matter how much he breaks apart, he will never feel it.
* PapaWolf: Almost from the moment they met, the golem has felt a strong sense of protectiveness towards Somali. Even in spite of his claims to [[TinMan have no emotions]], whenever there's any potential for danger towards Somali, he expresses worry and concern, and when there actually IS something that could threaten Somali present, he's fully open to killing people if it means she'll be safe.
* ParentalSubstitute: Ever since the golem stumbled upon Somali, he's effectively taken on the role of her father. They may not fully understand what it's like to be each other's race, and Somali's childish enthusiasm can frustrate the golem at times, but both of them genuinely love and care about each other, even if the golem doesn't fully comprehend how much he cares about Somali.
* RaceNameBasis: Likely as a result of him being a creature that doesn't interact with other races often, the golem doesn't have a name, with most other characters simply referring to him as "golem" or "Mr. Golem". The closest thing he has to a name is Somali referring to him as "Dad".
* SkullForAHead: The Golem's head has a pattern that vaguely makes it look like a skull.
* TheStoic: The golem's normal state is very calm and composed, almost never reacting emotionally to the things around him. [[NotSoStoic In some situations]], such as when Somali is potentially in danger, however, he shows that at the very least he's fully capable of experiencing fury and/or worry.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: As a being of the forest, the golem is capable of understanding and communicating with animals.
* TinMan: The golem says he has no emotions, and indeed he does normally operate solely on logic and efficiency. But when it comes to Somali, he's often shown to be just as capable of experiencing emotions as anybody else, he simply isn't able to process why he does so.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: The Golem repeatedly states that golems have no emotions, but he cannot understand why he cares for Somali, or why he wants to see her smile.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: He doesn't have long left in the world, with him only have a little more than 2 years left by the time we learn of his limited lifespan. It's why he's so desperate to find more humans for Somali to be with while he still has time to spare.
