Werelion boy is a descendant of one of the village elders among the spirit folk. He's the same age as both Latifa and Vera, and grew up alongside Vera as a childhood friend. When Rio and Latifa first moved to the village, Sara and Alma asked him and Vera to help introduce Latifa to the other kids—a task that led to them all becoming friends. He's looked up to Rio as an older brother figure ever since Rio started teaching him martial arts.
