[edit] Personality

Though it's hard for a being of rock to have any concrete personality, Namame is very perceptive of the feelings of others. Like a child, he's very sensitive to the treatment of others and quick to lose his temper should something upset him. The death of his first friend, the Oracle Anruu, triggered such a violent outburst, that his giant rock form had to be completely destroyed by Hagus just to get him to calm down. Though unable to cry physically, he does later mourn the death of Anruu taking Takiko's tears as his own as they drip onto his head.

Namame is also one of the most resourceful members of Takiko's team, using his power to change into a horse for transportation, a replacement for Takiko's Naginata and a small shelter for Takiko to ride out her wait for Hagus to name a few.

In chapter 18, Takiko is finally able to hear his voice and it's still only short and simple sentences. It is unknown if his voice is capable of reaching the other seishi, yet he remains in good terms with all of them, usually being carried around by Hatsui or Hikitsu.
