Cow Girl

Cow Girl (牛飼娘) is the childhood friend of Goblin Slayer and a farm hand on her uncle's farm. Her uncle took her in on his farm after her family was massacred by goblins during her childhood.

Appearance
Cow Girl is a young woman with rose-colored eyes and short red hair. Working on a farm since childhood has given her an athletic yet voluptuous body. She is often seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt, black overalls and black work boots.

Five years before the main plot, she had very long hair that she would hide her eyes behind. She eventually cut it short after a suggestion from Witch.

Personality
Cow Girl is a calm yet cheerful person, especially when it comes to Goblin Slayer.

Before she reunited with Goblin Slayer, she was often sullen, always wishing she was able to be with her best friend again. She feels guilt at not being there for him when their village was destroyed and tries to bring part of his former self back.

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.

Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One
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 strongly suggested he sleep in the farmhouse with her and her uncle.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
When Goblin Slayer realized that a horde of goblins were going to attack, he urged Cow Girl to run away to the town. She refused as she didn't want to abandon the farm, which she saw as her and more importantly, Goblin Slayer's home.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
Cow Girl caught Goblin Slayer attempting to sneak into the farmstead unnoticed. She demanded that he greet her properly not wanting to hear his excuses.

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 went to a festival in ten years. During their date, Goblin Slayer found and gifted her a ring. While they drank lemonade, she asked him to put it on her right ring finger.

After the Festival, 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.

Abilities
Cow Girl is an excellent cow herder and has shown to be stronger than she appears, able to pull a cart fully loaded with little effort.
