Team Natsume
Chiya
Voiced by: Sayaka Harada
A Wild Child who goes to Meirocho in search of her Missing Mom.
- Animal Motifs: A feral dog. Her Character Tic of showing her bellybutton comes from the practice when canids submit to the leader of the pack.
- Barbarian Long Hair: She has very long and silky hair as part of her Wild Child package.
- Berserk Button: DON'T even think about proposing to cut her hair.
- Can't Hold Her Liquor: Gets drunk at a sniff of sake.
- Character Tic: Flashing her belly as a form of apology. She won't let it pass when others apologize to her without exposing their bellies either.
- Chubby Chaser: She likes girls with squishy bellies.
- The Chosen One: Kon (and the viewers) have been the most certain of the fact that she's destined to be the legendary urara.

- Going Commando: Not only does she not wear underwear, she is not familiar with it.
- Idiot Hair: One on top of her head.

- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Thinks that showing one's bellybutton is the best way to apologize. Others think that's indecent exposure. She is also unfamiliar with the concept of underwear, and found clothing in general extremely uncomfortable.
- Intoxication Ensues: Gets intoxicated after consuming the religious sake in the shiromuku festival. But it's gone a bit more mystical in the process, in that she apparently saw one of Meirocho's gods.

- Underboobs: Often seen when she flashes her belly.
- Wild Child: She has been living in the mountains away from the civilization before Present Day. Lampshaded by Ko'ume in the first episode.
