Uyae

A strange Zirantian monk. In appearance, Uyae seems to be a bear-girl.

Story
Uyae is a former member of the Divine Claw, who went into hiding in the slums of Zirantia's capitol after leaving the organization. She decided to leave the Divine Claw after the callous and brutal behavior that she suffered at their hands after a failure in controlling a heat.

During the diplomatic visit of the "Doom King's captain" to Zirantia, Yarra's group meets her in the capital's slums. She has serious difficulties trying to make herself understood, but she is usually able to get her point across to a certain degree. The situation only improves when Simon has the chance to meet her in person.

Like her fellow comrades she was taken from her family at birth and guided to blindly follow the harsh rules imposed by the Divine Claw. In addition, the Divine Claw inundates its members with extreme pro-Zirantia propaganda to enforce loyalty. Uyae comes to realize how little of it is true as she experiences the world for herself.

Skills
Uyae is unique among the party in that she can be put into two different modes that affect her base stats, emphasizing respectively physical and magical abilities.

Starting equipment
Like Aka and Varia, she is a dual-wielder and has a second weapon slot instead of an off-hand slot.

Weapon: Steel Claw.
 * Claws
 * Gloves

Weapon: Magic Glove.
 * Claws
 * Gloves

Headgear: None.
 * Helms

Bodygear: Zirantian Leather.
 * Light armor

Accessory: Zirantian Charm.
 * Common accessories
 * Anti-sexual accessories

Tactics
Due that her starting level will be 36 in the best possible scenario, be advised that she is not really useful as a fighter in fights that don't involve a mob of enemies (most of the fights in the Western Dessert map fit into this scenario) until she reaches the level 38: should happen at some point during the Eustrin and Aram section in late chapter 3.

Unlike the less offensively inclined healers Carina and Qum, Uyae is both a healer and a capable fighter, boasting offensive and healing skills. However, as a healer she lacks the ability to cleanse statuses from others and thus cannot fully serve the role alone, but due to Simon's status cleansing King's Aura (if obtained), it is not as much of a detriment since he's usually a required party member. While you are able to equip her with more magically inclined equipment, it isn't strictly necessary to have high MAG for healing. Thus, playing to her strength as a hybrid by finding a good balance between ATK and MAG would be advisable so she can dish out great damage, whilst still being able to provide respectable healing. An example of such a balance, albeit expensive, is by using two Zirantian Claws and a Sylvan/Savant's Cloak, providing usable 150+ ATK and 100+/150+ MAG values. Due note that gloves confer a +50% accuracy bonus which is especially helpful for landing all 4 of Takedown's strikes, if you believe the ATK tradeoff to be worth it.

Aura of Spirit is worth using only if you want to make the most of Uyae's healing skills, as they are the only ones that rely on her MAG. Otherwise, if the current formation already has a healer, using Aura of Might is preferable to not using anything, unless you are fighting enemies that deal a lot of magical damage and every point of Magical Defense matters. That is true for most of the game, but first Explosive Palm and getting Mana Palm by choosing the relevant options when completing her personal quest ), opens up the option of using this Aura in combats with a small number of enemies.

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, at which you can have a conversation with the harem girl that will lock her affection there. If you achieve 100 in the current version it will reset to 99, because she won't pledge eternal loyalty until... some stuff happens.

Probably because her cultural background, most of her points can be obtained by doing various activities with Simon. The other relevant factor in the development of her relationship is the presence of reshaped-Varia, as she seems unable to connect with dominated-Varia. It also happens, to a smaller degree, with saner-Altina and cockwhore-Altina. Uyae needs an unspecified future event to lock it in.
