"Dragon Goes House-Hunting," which will begin airing in April 2021, is a show that gives us a glimpse into the unique characters of dwarves, elves, and dragons that do not fit the usual image of fantasy characters that we are familiar with. This time, I would like to introduce the main character, Letty, a weak and timid dragon who appears in "Dragon Goes House-Hunting," which is well-known for the originality of its characters. She is a very attractive character who throws away all of our stereotypes about dragons, so be sure to check it out.
Disowned by parents!
The story begins with the dragon Letty being disowned by her parents. This setting makes you want to ask yourself, "Do dragons fight with their parents like humans do!?", but in this story, there are many settings that make you want to ask, "What's wrong with the world view!?"
Kicked out of the house
Letty accidentally falls asleep while guarding the eggs, and the eggs are stolen by a hunter. This causes her parents to kick her out of the house. The scolding from her parents is, "Can't you even watch the eggs? You're worse than a train driver who plays with his smartphone during work!" This is also a point that shows a worldview that is different from the original.
Find your own home!
Whatever the reason, Letty, who has been kicked out of her house, begins a journey to find her own home. Thus begins the long, long search for the main character, Lady.
Her ideal is a "small house"
The world view and the characters' lines at the beginning of this work are completely different, but it's not just the world view in the work that is different; Letty's ideal home is also "a small house," which is also different from how she thinks she should be.
Meeting with Diaria
Thus, the main character Letty is out of sync in every way, but she meets Diaria as a reliable companion. With the help of Diaria, who is both a demon king (!?) and an architect, she is able to find a house that suits her.
Easily targeted by humans
Letty's goal is to quietly find her own home, but because she is a dragon, a high-ranking monster, she is targeted by many humans. One of the fun parts of the story is how Letty, who is actually very weak against these humans, will stand up to them.
Friends
Though Letty is a dragon, she is timid and weak, but she has a kind personality and is loved by many characters. Here, I would like to introduce the friends who actually accompany Letty in the story.
Diaria
He is the first person to join Letty in the story. He is an architect and demon king (!?) and is actually quite capable. In the story, he is always there for Letty as she searches for her own home, supporting her on her journey to find her own home.
Nel
She was rescued by Letty and Diaria when she was kidnapped by bandits. She is actually the princess of a certain kingdom, and by being with Nel, Letty has become infamous as the "dragon who kidnapped the princess."
Pi-chan
A bird that hatched from an egg that he found by chance. Due to a tendency to "imprint" in which he believes the first moving object he sees is his parent, he believes Letty, the first person he sees when he is born, is his parent. He is also a character who has great trust in Letty, unaware that Letty is not actually strong.
What are Letty's abilities?
So, the timid dragon Letty, how strong is she really? Here, I would like to introduce Letty's abilities in detail.
High-ranking red dragon!
Letty is a Red Dragon, a high-ranking species among the many monsters that exist, and should have considerable potential abilities. However, in reality, she is such a timid and weak character that she has been forced into situations where she has to ask for help from goblins, the epitome of weak characters.
Specs that even Nell would be shocked by
In the world of "Dragon Buys a House," there are cards that list the specs of characters in numerical form, and most of Letty's specs listed on the card are in the single digits, which is shocking. When Nell saw Letty's card, he couldn't help but comment, "Are you really a dragon even then!?"
Can't fly
Furthermore, even though Letty has impressive wings on her back, she cannot fly. In the story, she makes the excuse that "I don't have the skill to fly."
Can't spit fire
Many people think of the bright red flames that spit out of the mouth as the pronoun of a dragon. Naturally, Letty is a red dragon, so she should be a species that can handle fire, but since Letty herself has a cat tongue, she seems unable to spit fire.
What is Letty's personality like?
Many readers may have thought, "If her abilities are extremely low, she must make up for them with her mental strength!" But unfortunately, Letty is a very timid character, so she is unable to think of using her mental strength to make up for her lack of abilities.
Cowardice
Because she is a dragon, Letty is big, but her personality is the opposite, she is very cowardly. Her cowardice prevented her from fitting in the "ghost" house that Diaria had prepared for her so that she would never feel lonely, and she had to continue her search for a house.
Only unfertilized eggs can be eaten
The incident that led to Letty being kicked out of the house was when she was tending to the eggs and a hunter stole them, so she has a policy that she will never do the same thing as a hunter who steals eggs without permission.
Kind-hearted
Letty is weak and timid, but contrary to her fierce appearance, she also has a very kind-hearted side. She is a character who can take courageous actions for the sake of others, such as creating an opportunity for Nell to meet alone with her father, without regard for her own danger, when thinking of Nell who was fighting with her father.
Self-confidence
Though Letty can exert a little strength for the sake of others, she basically has almost no confidence in herself and is always thinking about failure.
Also known as the Fire Dragon King
Letty cannot fly or spit fire, and is also timid, but in the story she changes completely and is feared by humans under the alias of the Fire Dragon King. In the story, Letty continues her adventure while being confused by the difference between the image of herself that is spread throughout the world.
Rumors spread from a strange event
Naturally, Letty does not have the strength to defeat the hunters or the hero, but various factors miraculously come together and she repels the hero, and the rumor spreads that "there is a dragon with great power." As the story progresses, such misunderstandings increase even more, and before you know it, she has been given the nickname "Flame Dragon King" as she takes on a life of her own.
Conflict with the King
Furthermore, in the story, he ends up clashing with the King over Nel. Ironically, since he had many allies with high combat abilities other than Letty, such as Diaria, he puts up a good fight, and the name of the "Flame Dragon King" becomes even more famous.
The Legend of the Fire Dragon King, passed down through the generations
The conflict with the king was cleared up by persuasion from Letty's daughter, Nel, and Letty and the king reconciled. After that, the fact that Letty had occupied the castle during the conflict was passed down as the "Legend of the Fire Dragon King," which says that "The Fire Dragon King, moved by the princess's beauty, vowed never to attack her kingdom again and set off on a journey."
Battle with the Hero
In the story, many heroes and hunters are targeting Letty, who has the nickname "Flame Dragon King", and how will Letty confront these characters? This is one of the interesting points.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced Letty, the most unique character who appears in "Dragon Buys a House". It was a work that was like an experiment asking, "What would happen if a dragon, which is supposed to be a ferocious being, was actually a bit stupid and cowardly?" I'm looking forward to the day when I can see Letty moving vividly in the anime! While you wait for the anime to air, be sure to check out Letty's exploits in another article written on Anime Mill!
