Cover-story-only character: a glamorous female octopus-fish-man who is the romance-object of Hatchan (Hachi) across the Hachi’s Walk on the Sea Floor cover-serial. Introduced as the “she” Hatchan keeps trying to win over; the cover arc’s recipe-quest and treasure-grab are framed as efforts to finally earn her hand.

- Ch. 211 — Vol. 26 (implied): the unnamed “she” of “…there’s no way she’ll turn me down.”

Notes
- No known forward-canon main-story payoff through the Sabaody arc; tracked as a self-contained driver of the cover-serial romance subplot.
