Garu (Chinese: 可爾 Kě ěr) also known as Karu (Chinese: 凱爾 Kăi ěr) is a character in NU: carnival. He is introduced in Chapter 7.
Description[edit]
A magical wolf beast turned man, Garu lives his life out in the wilderness. Both pure and simple of heart, in order not to lose his ability to speak human language during his years in solitude, he started to have conversations with himself. Ultimately, in those wild and unforgiving conditions, he developed a second entirely different personality.[1]
History[edit]
As a wolf spirit, Garu was separated from his pack when a group of humans stole him away. They experimented on him because of the gemstone embedded in his body from birth, leaving him with scars all over his body.[2] At some point, he obtained human form, which erased much of his memories of his time as a spirit. Eventually he was discovered by an old man who found Garu alone in the Dead Zone carrying several small gemstones which burned him to touch.[3]
The old man constructed a collar for his gemstones, and taught him to speak the human tongue.[3] After the old man died fell into a river, he got sick and died.[4] Garu was then left to fend for himself in the wilderness as survival became increasingly perilous.
Possessing an innocent heart, Garu desires nothing more than to make new comrades and leave his life of solitude behind. Food has always been scarce in the wilderness, so Garu is easily lured by the smell of freshly roasted meat... or just about anything edible. He might be small in stature, but he always fights his hardest to protect anyone he cares about. He especially looks forward to getting "rewards" in return for his hard work.
After meeting Eiden and becoming his ally, Garu decides he's finally met the master he's been looking for. He's willing to undertake any task Eiden gives him, giving his all to ensure he pleases his new master.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Garu is 168cm tall. He has brown hair and blue eyes. His in-game sprite's eyes turn yellow when his personality changes to Karu, but according to other characters, they look visually indistinguishable. His Moonstone Gemstones are attached to the collar around his neck. His wolf ears and tail have the same brown color as his hair.
Garu's special skill lies in combat. He likes his Master, friends, and tasty food.[5]
Garu
Garu is innocent and friendly. He easily charms others with his personality, and although timid at first, he's upfront and honest about his desires. He can be forceful and stubborn when he's worried about the well-being of those he holds dear. Although he considers himself to be less brave than Karu, he can be confident and acts well in a leadership role if it's necessary.
Karu
Karu is overconfident and foolhardy. He is determined to become a powerful Yokai worthy of respect and to never be taken advantage of again. He talks down on others and is dishonest about his vulnerabilities and the things he likes. Although he refers to Garu as a fool, he is very protective of him and won't let him come to harm.
