Not wanting to get hurt, Maple opts to be a shield user with maxed-out defense stats, and continues putting every status point she earns in the game into increasing only her defense level. As a result, she is left with slow foot speed and no magic, but her high defense allows her to endure most hits without taking any damage. This, along with her basic-level creative thinking, allows for her to make unexpected accomplishments in the game, its quests and events. By doing this, she ends up earning all kinds of equally unexpected skills and becomes one of the strongest players in the game. Characters Maple Tree Maple (メイプル, Meipuru) / Kaede Honjō (本条 楓, Honjō Kaede) Voiced by: Kaede Hondo (Japanese); Megan Shipman (English) The main protagonist, who has just started playing NewWorld Online. Since she does not like to get hurt, she puts every skill point she earns into boosting her defense, allowing her to acquire new skills and level up simply by withstanding attacks. Even with her lack of gaming experience, Maple remarkably gains enough resistance to almost anything and seems to have innate luck in locating rare items, hidden dungeons, and unique quests and skills. This gives the game admins many headaches as they try to devise ways to slow her down; to which, her unorthodox methods overcome the developers' adjustments. In the first event, she becomes the third-ranked player after defeating over 2,000 players. During the second event, she finds a monster egg which later hatches into a turtle, which she names Syrup. Due to her high defense, she has been nicknamed "the Walking Fortress" by other players. She is the guild master of Maple Tree. Sally (サリー, Sarī) / Risa Shiromine (白峯 理沙, Shiromine Risa) Voiced by: Ruriko Noguchi (Japanese); Jad Saxton (English) Kaede's real-life friend who introduced her to NewWorld Online. She plays the swashbuckler class, which specializes in evasion and high-speed offense. Risa previously won a championship online game reward; all the trophies in her room, as well as gaming knowledge, hint that she is a pro gamer. She had to join Maple late in the game because her mother forbade her from gaming, wanting her to pass her proficiency exams. Sally could also be described as a genius tactician as she seems to always be able to develop plans to lead her guildmates to victory and how to best use Maple's bizarre skills. She has a strong fear of ghosts; Maple jokes she could not handle haunted houses despite being in-game. During the second event, Sally found a monster egg which later hatches into a fox she named Oboro. After annihilating many players on the final day of the second event, she earned the moniker of "Untouchable Blue Monster". Kasumi (カスミ) Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese); Tia Ballard (English) A samurai whose speed is on par with Sally. She was ranked sixth in the first event. The Flame Emperor guild intended to recruit her, but Maple got to her first. She and the Flame Emperor's Split-Sword Shin have faced each other multiple times in the past and she defeated him every time. Kanade (カナデ) Voiced by: Satomi Arai (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English) An androgynous male mage player, who specializes in intel gathering and puzzle solving, which allows him to access secret places and items in the game. He uses a Rubik's Cube-like staff called the "Akashic Records," which grants him a random skill each day. He also has a library of spells that he can prepare ahead of time. Kuromu (クロム) Voiced by: Noriaki Sugiyama (Japanese); Anthony Bowling (English) A great shielder like Maple and one of the first players that Maple meets in the game. He is recognized as a top player, having ranked ninth in the first event. He usually hangs out with Iz. He later gains the "Undead Lord" gear after soloing a hidden dungeon designed for players who have died and revived a certain number of times. He is usually involved in the game chat where the chat presses him for information about Maple. It is implied he is the oldest among the guild as he states he has to act as the girls' big brother and protector just to make sure no one takes advantage of them. Iz (イズ, Izu) Voiced by: Satomi Satō (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English) A crafter who creates made-to-order equipment. She becomes the guilds crafter, but still accepts private commissions. Being in the guild inspires her to craft unique gear, an opportunity she never was given originally. She usually hangs out with Kuromu. In battle, she specializes in demolition equipping herself with various explosives; she also uses a pickaxe for close range. Mai (マイ) Voiced by: Ai Kakuma (Japanese); Sara Ragsdale (English) A rookie player who, unlike Maple, put all of her skill points into strength instead. This allows her to wield heavy weapons and deal maximum damage. She wears a green ribbon in her black hair and wields two giant hammers with the same color scheme. Much of her skills are earned in boss rushes and time trials. Yui (ユイ) Voiced by: Nanaka Suwa (Japanese); Kristen McGuire (English) Mai's younger sister, who put all of her skill points into strength, much like Mai. Her hair is white with a pink ribbon and her hammers are also the same color as her hair. Like her twin sister, her skills are earned through boss rushes and time trials, which allows her to wield heavier weapons and deal maximum damage. Syrup (シロップ, Shiroppu) Voiced by: Miyuri Shimabukuro (Japanese); Natalie Hoover (English) Maple's turtle familiar, whose egg was rewarded to her after Maple and Sally defeated the Silverwing boss. After the second event, Maple uses her rewards to allow Syrup to grow in size using the Metamorph skill, as well as fly by means of Maple equipping herself with the Psychokinesis skill. Ironically, Syrup's mobility is far superior than Maple due to her zero agility. Syrup is used as the guild's form of tran.... Discover the Yuumikan Koin popular books.
