Character: Kururu
Canon: 07-Ghost
Character Age: Unknown. Definitely no older than mid-teens.
Canon: 07-Ghost begins with a conflict between the peaceful Barsburg Empire and the seemingly evil kingdom of Raggs, which rebels against it and is eventually crushed. As amnesiac protagonist Teito Klein finds out, however, the official version of events is a web of lies. Teito goes on a journey to discover the truth behind what happened, and in doing so, find out about himself and his forgotten past. One of the people he meets along his journey is a young girl named Ouka, who tells him that she's a trainee doctor, run away from home over a disagreement with her father. What she doesn't tell him is that she's actually the Princess of the Barsburg Empire--and possibly the reason Raggs was destroyed in the first place.
Kururu is Ouka's constant companion, accompanying her even when she's evaded her other attendants and escaped Barsburg Castle. A young dragon of the species known as Fyulong, Kururu has been by Ouka's side since she was born, and is someone who acts 'like a sister' to her. She's absolutely invested in Ouka's health and well-being and completely loyal to her. She's also highly concerned with manners, thoroughly disapproves of people who won't address her or Ouka politely (particularly if they're men,) and doesn't hesitate to tell them if they don't meet her standards. She's temperamental, speaks in high-handed fashion, and acts angry or haughtily commanding most of the time. She does have a slightly softer side, though, willing to knock a stranger out of harm's way at great cost to herself. Of course, this hardly makes them friends--or so she proclaims afterwards. In other words, tsun tsun tsun dere tsun.

I absolutely refuse! There is no conceivable way that I would follow your demands, even if you addressed them to me properly and did not simply mumble and groan like imbeciles. I will not associate--or negotiate--with people who cannot even articulate their demands in the language of their own species! You speak without introducing yourselves; you make completely unreasonable demands of me for the brains in my head! I decline--yes, I am completely unwilling to entertain any of you until you learn some proper manners, and I warn you now: there is no way you can gain them by ingesting anyone's cranial matter, whether it be human or Fyulong. Who on earth ever taught you such an atrocious story? Unlearn it at once!
Lady Ouka, I truly fear for your safety. How you must be suffering at the hands of these foul and uneducated brigands, even as I search for you! I fear you cannot get coherent directions or even simple salutations from the people here. Why, some of the birds and other creatures here are far more capable of speech than they are, even if they are just as needlessly rude. When I attempt to approach them and make civil conversation, they think highly enough of themselves to proposition me without even a greeting. No, I say, I will not get down and move anything all around with you!
Wretched beasts! Clearly whatever intelligence is possessed by the denizens of this place is not being utilized properly. Your schooling in the social arts is far too inefficient for any of you to address my lady, and if absolutely none of you have the knowledge to elevate yourselves a little, then it is up to someone else to fix the problem. And I suppose if you have somehow charmed Lady Ouka, then there may be no leaving here for awhile. For her sake, I suppose I can at least begin to enlighten you in the very basics of etiquette.
Since this appears to be such an issue, let us start with a traditional greeting! Take your partner's hand, and then first wash it off with the cleanest soap and water you can find. Personal hygiene is essential to making a good first impression. Second, shake it firmly to the left! Now to the right! Then hold it up high: see what a different impression it leaves, so clean and bright? Even if it has fallen off at the wrist, it is far more acceptable to others. Do not underestimate the power of good manners, no matter what obstacles lie in your path to obtaining them. If you truly wish to learn how to act properly around a lady, then you will be willing to sacrifice more than a single hand to the cause! Indeed, if you are truly willing to become a paragon of good manners, then you must show me your dedication in every clumsy gesture of your remaining limbs, otherwise you will not be fit even to lick my Lady's boots--
--no! Even your tongue falling out is no excuse!
