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 body. She is often seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt, black overalls and black work boots.

Five years before the main plot, she had long hair that she would hide her eyes behind. She eventually cut it short after a suggestion from Witch. At the Harvest Festival Cow Girl wore her mother's blue dress made of dazzling cloth, decorated with lace and embroidery. She also wore a hat with a big ribbon to accompany the dress.

When Cowgirl and Priestess were at the Adventurer's Guild blacksmith shop, she tried on the red bikini armor which was a bit tight on her chest. When Cow Girl goes swimming, she wears a black bikini. During Winter, Cow Girl will switch to a leather corset and riding pants due to the cold.

After a trip to the Desert Kingdom, Goblin Slayer gifted her a Red Dragon Scale which she fashioned into a necklace for herself.

Personality
Cow Girl is a calm yet cheerful young woman, 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.

Concerning Goblin Slayer, Cow Girl has very strong feelings for him, ranging from romantic and concern for his mental health. She can also be quite positive with him, getting him to open up when no one else can. She's also not above stating she is his wife when strangers ask about her relationship with him to get a rise outta Goblin Slayer.

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.

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 The 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 she and Goblin Slayer to come home to. 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.

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, until her Uncle came and gifted her with her mother's dress, and 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, they were sadly failing miserably while Half-Elf Light Warrior teased the. 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, she asked Goblin Slayer to escorted 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 Blacksmith'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.

Goblin Slayer Volume 9
During a particularly long and cold winter, Cow Girl had volunteered to deliver goods out of the village with Goblin Slayer. Her Uncle chastised her from think she could wear a long dress in the middle of a blizzard, so she switched to riding pants. As she and Goblin Slayer ventured forth, she was looking forward to the day trip and envisioned how nice the trip would be, however, they were swiftly attacked by an Ogre and his small horde of Goblins. Thanks to Goblin Slayer's quick thinking, the two were able to use the blizzard to escape to an abandoned village.

For two nights they were able to evade the Ogre and his Goblins, first in a shack and then in a well with breath rings, all the while feeling she was being a burden to Goblin Slayer despite his reassurances. When the Ogre found some hostages, Goblin Slayer caused a diversion allowing Cow Girl to escape back to the Frontier Town for help. She would make it back to her Farm and warned her Uncle who prepared to get help, but Goblin Slayer returned thanks to the timely arrival of the rest of his Party much to her relief.

Abilities

 * Strength: Years of working on the farm have given her enough strength to pull a loaded cart with minimal effort. Additionally, more often than not, when Goblin Slayer is not tagging along, she's the one who unloads the said fully loaded cart at a destination (usually at the guild's storage area) in town all by herself. Because of this strength, when envisioning herself as an Adventurer, she pictures herself with a pole axe


 * Cooking: Cow Girl is the person who makes food in the farmhouse.
