Tonari

Tonari (トナリ) is a girl that Fushi meets on the island of Jananda. She is currently the island's Chief.

Appearance
Tonari is a young girl about 14 years old. She has short brown hair, green eyes, and tan skin. She wears a light blue jacket and shorts, a black and white shirt, and is often seen with her pet owl, Ricard. She also has a triangle carved in the palm of her right hand.

Personality
Tonari is clever, cunning, and appears to be a bit manipulative. She has a great love for reading and writing.

She cares greatly for her friends and is willing to go back to Jananda to rescue Fushi despite finally being able to leave the island. However, she believed that everyone on Jananda was a murderous scum and was better off dead. She recognizes that she, too, is just like everyone else on the island. Although she doesn't act on it, in her heart, she kills everyone she doesn't like.

Background
Tonari grew up on an unnamed island with her father, Erran G. Dalton, and an unnamed mother. When she was 7 years old, she awoke one morning to find her mother lying dead on the floor. The Church condemned her father as the killer and sent him to the island of Jananda. The Church gave Tonari a choice to either stay on her home island as an orphan or follow her father into exile. She decided to follow him because she believed her father to be innocent.

On Jananda, the prisoners and their exiled families discarded their humanity, creating a new culture that recognized every freedom imaginable, including murder.

After an unknown time, Tonari's father decided to enter a tournament that, if he won, would give him the power to leave the island. Tonari begged her father not to participate, but he ignored her pleas and told her to go to Ivo Port at the end of the tournament.

In the end, Tonari didn't recognize the victor as her father and believed him to be dead. She searched for his corpse for several days until she found a book at Ivo Port. In the book was a note addressed to her from her father that read, "Happy birthday! With this book, weave together your dreams." Her father ended up being murdered by other residents for killing the previous victor.

However, it is later revealed that Tonari only believed her father to be innocent in the beginning. After watching him fight and enjoy himself in the tournament, she began to suspect that he really did kill her mother. From then on, Tonari believed her father and everyone else on the island was murderous scum,

When she was nine years old, she met Mia, Uroy, Sander, and Uba.

Sometime after Fushi left the island, Tonari began ingesting different types of poison so her body would get used to them, and she wouldn't be affected.

Skills
When there is trouble, Tonari's group often looks to her for guidance. She seems to be well-liked by the group. Tonari appears to be very well-read, pointing out to Sander that if they pulled the spear out of Mia's abdomen, she would bleed out and die. Over the past 40 years, Tonari has ingested several different types of poison and has built up a resistance to them.
