Notes

Naotsugu is loyal, cheerful, reliable, mature, and famously unfiltered, using perverted jokes to break tension even when they invite comic punishment. He wants to protect his comrades and build belonging in this unfamiliar world. His heavy plate armor, large shield, and Anchor Howl make him an exceptional defender, but sustained attacks strain body and mind, while armor slows him.
