Yume

Yume (ユメ, Yume) is the Hunter of Haruhiro's party and one of the main protagonists of Hai to Gensō no Grimgar series.

Appearance
Yume has pale skin, reddish brown braided hair and brown eyes. In battle she wears a Hunter outfit that the guild provided to her.

Personality
Brave and energetic, Yume is the hunter of the group although she initially shows relatively little proficiency at archery, a hunter's main weapon skill. This leads her to take up machete (or short sword) skills when she has the opportunity to train, and it seems she enjoys more success in close combat as opposed to ranged combat. This changes as she gains more experience, and by the middle of the series, she can make kill shots on goblins from a hundred yards away.

Of the two girls in the group initially, she is the more outgoing and friendly, often acting as a sort of shield for Shihoru. She enjoys good relations with most of the group, especially Haruhiro and Manato, though she has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Ranta, who often refers to her as "boobless woman" when they argue. Like all the group, she is initially wary of Mary, especially when her initial attempts at friendship are rebuffed. After some trials and tribulations, the group as a whole warm to Mary, and this includes the warming of Yume's relationship with the party's replacement healer.

Although she is quite mature and emotionally stable, Manato's death affects her strongly and she only begins to cope when she has a good crying session with Haruhiro, which strengthens the bond between the two. While she enjoys good relations with almost everyone in the group, with the exception of Ranta, she seems especially close to Haruhiro and they fight as a pair to take on opponents, while Ranta and Moguzo are proficient enough in combat to take on their opponents solo.In her spare time, she like rock climbing and is apparently quite good at it, being able to climb almost vertical surfaces and demonstrating skill with rock climbing equipment.

Abilities
As a member of the Hunter guild, she is given both a bow and a machete. However, early on she is not very skilled with the bow, and tends to stick with short-ranged combat.
