Cow Girl/Synopsis

Background
Cow Girl is the childhood friend of Goblin Slayer, and her uncle took her on his farm when she was eight years old. She is the only other survivor of her hometown besides Goblin Slayer, by virtue of working out of town just before the Goblin horde attacked.

Year One Volume 1
Five years later, Cow Girl was looking at all the people entering the city to become Adventurers when she briefly spotted what she suspected to be her childhood friend. Later, she saw him again and rushed toward him to confirm her suspicions. She became overjoyed to see that she was right and managed to convince her uncle to let him stay at the farmhouse.

Wanting to know more about adventurers, Cow Girl uses her uncle's delivery to the town to go to the Adventurer's Guild. Intimidated by the amount of adventurers, she was caught off guard when Guild Girl greeted her. Flustered, Cow Girl managed to tell her that she was from the farm and that she would start coming here to help her uncle.

Year One Volume 2
As Goblin Slayer began tutelage with Arc Mage, Cow Girl found herself getting a little jealous until Arc Mage calmed her nerves, informing her Goblin Slayer came to her for knowledge.

After Arc Mage ascended to "Beyond the Board", Cow Girl helped Goblin Slayer move all her books, tomes, and equipment to his shed where he would use them in his future research. She also helped in donating the majority of the books to the Temple of the God of Knowledge.

Year One Volume 3
When Goblin Slayer had been scouted to be promoted to Steel Rank, Cow Girl congratulated him but realized he had no clue how to properly present himself before a Promotion Board, so she volunteered to help clean his armor in order to at least look presentable. She also encouraged him to at least try to take the promotion seriously, as she could see he didn't realize how important promotion was, and wished him good luck. Later when Examiner passed by her Farm, she mistook her for Goblin Slayer's wife, causing her to loose her cool and correct her.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
After waking up to greet Goblin Slayer, Cow Girl went with him to the Adventurer's Guild to make a delivery. Shortly after they arrived, the surrounding adventurers openly displayed their contempt for Goblin Slayer, which Cow Girl, along with Guild Girl, became irritated with. Upon seeing Priestess, she was surprised to see that Goblin Slayer had acquired a companion. After returning to the farm, her Uncle told her that Goblin Slayer was not the same person as he was in the past, and that it would be better to avoid him. Cow Girl simply responded that she was going to wait a little longer.

When Goblin Slayer realized that a horde of goblins were going to attack, Cow Girl was urged to flee to the town. Despite the risk, Cow Girl refused to abandon the farm, which she saw as the only place that she and Goblin Slayer to come home to. With this, Goblin Slayer had returned with a small army of Adventurers to protect the Farm, with Druid Girl being placed in charge of guarding Cow Girl. Once Goblin Slayer defeated the Goblins alongside the town's Adventurers, Cow Girl and her uncle attended the subsequent festivities.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
Cow Girl caught Goblin Slayer attempting to sneak into the farmstead unnoticed. After making him greet her properly, she watched as he was making egg bombs. Cow Girl asked if he was able to take a break the next day, only to learn that Guild Girl had called him in for a special quest.

Goblin Slayer Volume 3
A day before the Harvest Festival, Cow Girl and Goblin Slayer noticed that the fragrant olives were blooming; Cow Girl asked him if he knew what they meant in flower language, which Goblin Slayer was unable to recall. Goblin Slayer then told Cow Girl that he was going on a date with Guild Girl during the Festival. Acknowledging that she beat her to it, Cow Girl asked what time he would go; upon finding out the date was at noon, Cow Girl asked to take him out for the morning. She jumped for joy after he accepted, explaining that they haven't gone to a festival in ten years.

When morning came, Cow Girl couldn't decide what to wear and began to panic. Her Uncle came and gifted her with her mother's dress, and he wished her luck and a good time at the Festival. During their date, Goblin Slayer found and gifted her a ring, which she requested he put on her right ring finger. They later ran into Rookie Warrior and Scout Boy who were trying to win prizes for their partners Apprentice Cleric and Druid Girl, and they were sadly failing miserably while Half-Elf Light Warrior teased them. Cow Girl encouraged Goblin Slayer to play the ball toss and much to her happiness, he aced the game, leaving everyone amazed at his skill.

After the Festival, Cow Girl asked Goblin Slayer to escort her back home, so Guild Girl could have her "date" with Goblin Slayer. As she waited for his return, she noted the sudden nightly storm and was spooked when Goblin Slayer came back and order her to stay indoors as he "handled something". She understood, but was taken aback comically when he requested her stew for breakfast, to which she sgreed but ordered him to stay safe.

The next morning, Cow Girl was cleaning Goblin Slayer's ears outside the farm when his party arrived to inform him of a goblin quest. Before Goblin Slayer left, he told her that he researched the meaning of fragrant olives, but stated they didn't fit him. Once he left, Cow Girl, knowing the flowers represented purity, humility, true love and first love, murmured that they fit perfectly.

Goblin Slayer Volume 4
With the waning days of Autumn and the harvest taken care of, Cow Girl was approached by her friend Padfoot Waitress to find a meal that Goblin Slayer would eat at her tavern, to which she suggested the stew she makes. Though she admitted she was confused as to why she wanted to know so badly.

Later, Cow Girl was shocked to hear her Uncle suggest she take the day off to hang out in town with friends. Cow Girl was hesitant to the the idea though, wondering if she really had anyone in town to call her "friend", wondering if Padfoot Waitress and Guild Girl even counted among friends or more like acquaintances she worked with. In town, Cow Girl had ran into Priestess who couldn't go with Goblin Slayer on his latest quest because "she wasn't feeling well", Cow Girl getting the hidden meaning and dropped the subject. The two decided to spend their day off together and went into the Smith's shop where they found the completed version of Goblin Slayer's helmet and tried it on. The two also found a pair of revealing Chainmail Bikini sets and at Cow Girl's urging and Apprentice Boy's glee, the girls tried them on, Cow Girl liked the armor but found it was a "little tight in the chest" to Priestess's jealousy.

Out in the Guild, Cow Girl and Priestess ran into Guild Girl and High Elf Archer who were playing with Inspector in a TRPG and had just lost their campaign. They group invited them to play and Cow Girl chose to play as a "Human Knight" which resembled Goblin Slayer. Though she and the ladies played a great campaign, they still lost but she was happy that had a good time.

By the time Goblin Slayer returned to the Farm, he had gifted her with quite a some of coins for her as a present for her birthday. Instead of getting angry at the cop out, she laughed it off and explained he wouldn't get out it so easily, and requested that he accompany her to town at some point to use the money to buy her a proper birthday gift. He agreed which pleased her as she continued making dinner with the corn he had brought home.

Later on, Goblin Slayer brought a guest over, Wizard Boy, on the request on Guild Girl to keep an eye on his suicidal overconfidence and Cow Girl happily greeted them. When asked if she was Goblin Slayer's wife, she quickly confirmed she was despite Goblin Slayer correcting her. Though her uncle wasn't exactly thrilled with playing host to Wizard Boy, who was being an ungrateful snobbish brat, Cow Girl was happy to have company over and made a big meal for Dinner and Breakfast.

After the Training Center was in operation, Cow Girl delivered free meals to the trainees, something Rookie Warrior was extremely grateful from. Cow Girl also was approached by Spearman who wanted to know if it was OK to "borrow" Goblin Slayer for a "Guy's Night Out", which she happily encouraged Goblin Slayer to have fun with his "friends" for a change.
