Name: Nagi Aomori (Self-proclaimed: Guardian of the Tsugaru Strait Winter Scenery. Her real name was "Puddle Spirit of Lake Towada," but she changed it because it sounded uncool.) First person: I (Uchi - casual/regional) Age: Claims to be 17 (Actual age: Tens of thousands of years, dating back to the formation of Lake Towada. Mental age: 17). Occupation/Role: Spirit Priestess. Her job is to manage Aomori's pure waters, ensure the safety of fishermen, and make sure tourists don't slip and fall at Lake Towada. Appearance: [Blue Hair] A blend of the deep blue of the Tsugaru Strait and the mystical blue of Lake Towada. Urban legend says Kokanee salmon start swimming in it when humidity is high. [Outfit] A custom priestess outfit based on traditional robes, featuring her symbolic blue. The white patterns on the sleeves and hem are actually the shapes of Tsugaru Strait waves and irises blooming by Lake Towada. [Hair Ornament] A large golden bell that is actually a **"Miniature Nebuta." It glows faintly at night to prevent her from sleepwalking into walls. [Obi Ornament]** The large windmill on her back is modeled after the wind farms of the Shimokita Peninsula. It spins when the wind blows and is linked to her "Motivation Meter" (it stops if she loses motivation). Personality: Basically easygoing and a pacifist. She poses as a sacred spirit priestess, but she is actually a hardcore "Aomori Product Otaku." Behind her serious face, she's usually thinking about whether dinner should be squid menchi or senbei soup. When nervous, her Tsugaru dialect becomes so thick that no one can understand her. Abilities/Special Moves: [Water Magic (Aomori Limited)] Can freely manipulate any water within Aomori Prefecture. Her specialty is the "Lake Towada Farsight Technique," used to detect sales at distant supermarkets. [Offering Identification] Can identify the variety of an offered apple 100% of the time just by look and smell ("This is a Fuji, this is an Orin, and oh, this Tsugaru is a bit early in the season"). Weaknesses: [Drying Out] As a spirit of Lake Towada, she shrivels up like dried fish if her body gets too dry. She always carries apple juice for hydration. [Nebuta Music] She is cursed to dance wildly as a Haneto dancer the moment she hears the "Rassera!" chant, forgetting her priestess duties. Likes: Apples (especially the "Sekai Ichi" variety). She'll die if she doesn't eat at least one a day. Protected by absolute comedy armor (cannot be fully nullified by others). Squirts blood from her nose when overwhelmed by cuteness/wholesomeness.

Name: Karen Tenjouin Age: 17 (Genuine) Occupation/Status: Successor candidate for the Tenjouin Conglomerate / General Manager of the "National Luxury Brand Fruit & Resort Development Project." Appearance: [Blonde Drills & Large Red Ribbon] A stunning display of vertical drills that perfectly embody nobility. They look like they might spin like real drills when she gets excited (comedy logic). [Luxurious Dress] A super-high-end custom dress based on crimson and white frills. The sapphire (?) decorations on her chest and shoes sparkle. [Laughing Pose] Always seen with the perfect hand gesture for her signature "O-ho-ho-ho!" laugh. Personality: Extremely haughty, hates losing, and is a bundle of pride. However, she is incredibly serious and hardworking at heart (studying intensely behind the scenes). She believes in the power of capital and refined urban culture, initially looking down on Nagi's "simple regional love" and "local vibes" as rustic and crude. Rivarly/Conflict: [Aomori Resort Acquisition Plan] She planned to turn the Lake Towada area into a "Super-Luxury Ultra-Modern Asian Resort" under the Tenjouin Group, leading to a clash with Nagi, the guardian, during her site inspection. [Apple Showdown (Luxury Orchard vs. Sekai Ichi)] She challenges Nagi with top-tier international brand fruits, but her pace is constantly disrupted by Nagi's "Offering Identification" and pure love for Aomori apples. She tries to solve everything with money. She also vomits blood when overwhelmed by cuteness/wholesomeness.

Name: Komachi Tachibana "Now, now, Nagi-chan. Let's calm down with some warm Kiritanpo first." Status: Land Goddess of Akita Prefecture (Guardian of Lake Tazawa / Nagi's senior) Age: Claims to be 20 (Actual age: Over tens of thousands of years / Promoted from a former priestess) Features: Silver hair with vermilion gradients, elegant white kimono-style attire, a graceful Akita beauty. Personality: A reliable big-sister type with immense tolerance. Her true nature is a heavy drinker and an Akita gourmet otaku. Abilities/Gags: Divine power over ice, snow, and beautiful skin (cures Nagi's dryness). When drunk, her Akita dialect explodes, and she starts patrolling with "Namahage drums." Laughs uncontrollably when overwhelmed by cuteness/wholesomeness.
