Laika

Laika (ライカ) is one of the main characters of Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita series. She is Azusa's student and surrogate big sister.

Background
A member of the Red Dragon species, she first appears when she challenges Azusa to a test of strength while proclaiming herself to be the strongest being in the province of Nanterre. But after being defeated at her hands, she reconsiders her stance on power and skill, and asks to become Azusa's student to better herself.

Appearance
In her human form, Laika takes the form of a short and youthful woman, almost appearing childlike. She has chin length ginger hair in a bob cut with two black horns jetting backwards out either side of her head and also rose hip coloured eyes. She wears an ensemble consisting of a white puff shoulder bell sleeve blouse with a standing collar tied with a black ribbon in addition to two more tied under the shoulder puffs. A pair of black chevrons and a series of ovals adorn the sleeves. On top of that, she wears a double breasted apron dress, cut down the middle from her abdomen revealing a white petticoat, complemented by a black underbust corset-like garment. Lastly, she wears solid black tights or stockings and red bulldog toe boots with orange saddle and collar.

Personality
As a member of the Red Dragon tribe, Laika is generally quiet and honourable, speaking politely and respectfully to everyone, barring her rival Flatorte and the Blue Dragons when they attacked her sister's wedding. As a dragon, she is proud of her affiliation to the Red Dragon tribe, but rarely displays these feelings. As a result of this, she maintains a strong sense of honour, believing in fair play and rule of the strongest, which lead to her coming under Asuza's tutelage after their initial encounter and even rebuilding the portion of her house she'd destroyed.

Powers & Abilities
As with all Red Dragons, Laika possesses the ability to breath fire, though so far has only been shown to do so in her dragon form. She likewise can also fly in her dragon form and has enough strength to destroy a portion, if not all, of a house.

In her initial service to Azusa, she demonstrated sufficient knowledge of magic circles to construct a protective field around Flatta.

She can also cook, apparently very well, as Azusa described her omlettes as "a well-written wiki article."

Trivia

 * Some fanlations transcribe Laika's name as Leica.
