Don’t let her sweet face fool you. Approach too casually, and you’re in trouble. The moment she spots a human, she unleashes an unforgiving barrage of hisses and rapid-fire cat punches. Her defenses are so impenetrable that you can’t help wondering, What on earth happened in her past? Whatever it was, she has never once let that guard down.

Even so, she is extremely close to Peanuts, who was rescued alongside her and brought to Labco as well. In the end, without ever showing even the slightest sign of opening her heart to humans, Kyoro was generously taken in—together with Peanuts—by a foster caregiver. There she still lives peacefully and freely to this day, occasionally hissing now and then for good measure.

At this point, her absolute consistency in never trusting humans feels almost like a noble creed. No matter what anyone says, she will not bend easily. And somehow, that stubborn integrity is part of what makes her so lovable.
