Carmine (Japanese: ゼイユ Zeiyu) is a rival character introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. She lives in Kitakami with her younger brother, Kieran. She is strong-willed and can be a little selfish, but always looks out for her little brother—even if she isn’t the best at showing it. Many people say that she can be chilly towards people from other regions.[4] She is a student attending Blueberry Academy.

Notes

  1. She is the older sister of Kieran, who is stated to be an adolescent.[1] When Carmine refers to the village kids, she includes herself among them, implying that she still considers herself to be a kid.[2] In French, she explicitly states that she is still an adolescent.[3] Her actual age is not otherwise known.
