Rocma

Rocma (ロクマ) is a polar bear from Deep-Sea Prisoner's series, Ice Scream. She is Mafuyu's foster parent and has a deep dislike for Idate.

Physical Description
Rocma has white skin, hair, and black eyes with white pupils. Her hair is tied into braids held with pompoms, and she wears a fluffy, white hat with a gray ribbon over her notched left ear. She wears a fuzzy, white scarf, a gray, double-breasted coat-like dress with fur at the hem and cuffs, and gray and white boots with white ribbons accented with pompoms.

Personality
Rocma often comes off as cold and rough; angering her will reveal her more ferocious and terrifying side. She is also rather stubborn, not taking advice from others and being resistant to outside help. She is also very strong, almost equal to Idate in battle, though Rocma has a disadvantage in water. A hobby of hers is sharpening her claws, for which she has a wooden board pinned to a wall in her house.

In spite of her demeanor, however, her personality also has a softer side to it. She for example took Mafuyu in after finding her, and has been acting as a gentle and caring parental figure for the seal girl ever since. It has also been said in an Ice Watching that Rocma really enjoys mikans and will order a whole boxful of them. She thinks she is being secretive about it, but her secret is known to many.

Background
At some point in the past, Rocma took Mafuyu into her home and adopted her. Notable is also that Rocma's left ear has a chip out of it, though it has yet to be revealed what event caused this. Not much else is currently known about her past.
