Ruth


 * Ruth (ルツ Rutsu) is Chise's familiar, a black grim. He shares a mental link with Chise and considers her a sister.

Appearance
Ruth has two forms. His black grim form is that of a large black dog of pure black fur. He reaches up to Chise's rib cage and has red eyes, a trait he keeps in his human form along with hair resembling his fur.

Personality
Ruth shows great resolve, both with his previous owner and Chise. He has a mental link between a familiar and master, and as such shares memories, feelings, and even lifespan with Chise. He uses his link to tell others what his master is feeling, when she is unwilling to.

Background
Ruth's original name was Yuris given to him by his owner (who he thought was his sister), Isabel. Isabel was killed by an oncoming carriage. At the funeral, Ruth believed she would awake and stayed by her grave waiting until he died.

He became a black grim, a fae who chased grave robbers away, however he continued believing he was human up until his meeting with Chise.
