Sheetha Kokonoe (九重シーサ): Sheetha is the handmaiden of the jungle kingdom’s notorious hairy king (formerly a prince at the start), a rather snarky Irish male adopted by wildlings, and his wife the jungle’s figurative queen. Then she meets her eventual husband Govannan on his return to Wales, and so the two would be married at the end. Her name is derived from both Sita and Sidhe.

Sorcha O’Malley (ソルチャ・オマリー): Sorcha is a nicer counterpart to Brigid O’Connell in the Kenya Boy series.

However, unlike Brigid, who is essentially a ruthless pirate, she’d rather be in a prison calming other prisoners.
