4:extras] But while she acts "like a background character with no defining characteristics," Chihiro actually has an inferiority complex and prefers running from the reality of her status.[ch.

190] Based on the Roman god of trade, Mercury (メリクリウス, Merikuriusu) is the sixth and final sister to be introduced and her host was revealed to be Ayumi Takahara.[ch.
