Yosafire



Yosafire (ヨザファイア) is the main protagonist of The Gray Garden. She is a female demon and Froze's best friend and girlfriend.

Physical Description
Yosafire has short, two-toned hair that is green on the outside and pink on the interior; her side bangs are the longest part of her hair. Yosafire also has pink horns but wears a red beret to hide her broken horn. She has red eyes, a pair of green wings with pink membranes, and a heart-shaped, green tail that fades to pink. She sports red glasses, a yellow cross necklace, an oversized red sweater over a white turtleneck, dark red stockings, and red knee-high boots with white fur trim.

Personality
Being fervent, lively, impulsive, and only slightly irresponsible, makes Yosafire headstrong. These characteristics tend to give her an impression of being stubborn, exhibited in the fact that she is always the first to act and the last to give in despite all odds against her. Her ability to place her trust even in people she only just met is one of the admirable qualities that also make her an affable character.

Overall, Yosafire is an earnest, often an intent individual who, despite her erroneous view of the world she lives in, is very adaptable to new situations and places. She is often quick to find solutions to problems that are presented to her. However, it could be said that she is just as quick to realize her mistaken understanding of the Gray Garden's ways, but still holds strong on her opinion that everyone should not be chained to casteism.

While filled with indignation toward those who mistreat her and her friends, she never seems to express any true resentment; in fact, the only time she has ever been shown outraged is when she denounces Ivlis for harming Kcalb and badmouths him. Surprisingly enough, Yosafire is quite against the idea of needless violence and would rather steer clear from a situation requiring it.

She is loyal to those she cares about and will strive in keeping them happy and in high morale, especially in the direst situations. The best example is in her relationship with Kcalb, where despite knowing of his past deeds, is still very much willing to accept him as he is and with no changes in her love and care for him.

Yosafire also tends to use childish insults, sometimes even vulgar ones. She also loves flowers, even though she has hay fever, and has conquered her fear of heights.

Background
Yosafire is a demon hailing from the Gray Garden who lives by herself in the Gray Village. When she was younger, she had an accident while flying, which resulted in a broken horn, and since then acquired a fear of both flying and heights, though she is later shown to conquer her fear in the game when saving Froze. She is a student enrolling in the Gray Village's school.

Froze
Froze is best Yosafire's best friend and girlfriend. The two are exceptionally close. Froze looks out for Yosafire due to the latter's abundance in reckless actions and is the one to who Yosafire turns to when their homework deadline comes knocking. Froze sees Yosafire as a blundering klutz and is easily irritated with the demon's overall exaggerations. Despite all that, she feels safe enough to smile in front of Yosafire and has even laughed with her. In turn, Yosafire is fiercely loyal to her, to the degree that the demon was willing to eschew her fears to save Froze's life.

In The Gray Garden, Yosafire eagerly declared her romantic feelings for Froze, saying that she wants "Froze to be her girlfriend," even when the time or situation is not appropriate for such romantic confessions. Froze, at the time, seemed to harbor mutually romantic feelings but didn't acknowledge them at the time. At the end of The Gray Garden, Froze gave Yosafire thanks for sticking with her despite her many shortcomings.

In Froze also kissed Yosafire on the cheek. Deep-Sea Prisoner has formally confirmed that two are indeed a couple.

Dialo

Chelan
Chelan is one of Yosafire's close friends.

Kcalb
Kcalb is Yosafire's devil. Kcalb seems to be close to her compared to other villagers. The two might have a special respect for each other, which stems from the fact that Yosaflame, Yosafire's ancestor, was Kcalb's former underling. Yosafire is prone to teasing and pranking him, the devil in turn often irritated and flustered by her mischief. Despite that, he openly accepts and enjoys Yosafire's company.

After falling off a cliff, having been dealt with great wounds by Ivlis, Yosafire saves Kcalb. Though he attempts to convince her that he has no right to live due to his past deeds, Yosafire chooses to ignore his pleas, telling him that it doesn't matter to her what he did in the past.

Ivlis
Ivlis is Yosafire's enemy. Yosafire encountered Ivlis when he attempted to kill Kcalb and take his power. Ivlis sexually assaulted Yosafire after she had attempted to fight him off alone. It was later revealed in the Mini-Comics that his motivation for doing this was due to Yosafire's glasses being the same as the ones his father Siralos wears.
