Tatara

"Swordsmith" Tatara is a Dwarf Samurai-Swordsmith and the guild master of the Swordsmithing guild Amenoma (アメノマ). She and her shop reside in a district in Akiba known as "Weirdo Cave".

Appearance
As a dwarf, Tatara is rather short; she is stated to be Akatsuki's height, although Akatsuki surmises that she was taller in real life.

Personality
Tatara is known for pouring her love into her swords, hand-crafting them with care. She is rather reserved and rarely does direct business with customers, although she is familiar enough with Akatsuki for the latter to ask her questions about her swords.

She runs a tight business, stating all sales are final and prices are non-negotiable.

Fallen Guardian arc
Akatsuki visits Amenoma's shop to search for new weapons, where Tatara greets her. The Assassin asks her where Sento-Byakumaru had gone, to which the guild master replies that it had been sold, much to Akatsuki's shock. As she eyes another weapon and holds it for inspection, Tatara asks if she wants to buy it. Much to her displeasure, Akatsuki does not have enough gold to buy it and leaves her shop, dejected.

During the raid mission to eliminate Enbart Nelles, Akatsuki's Enameled Ceramic Dagger breaks in the middle of an attack. As her allies hold back Nelles, Tatara rushes to her side to deliver the sword that Akatsuki had wanted, giving it to her as a present for working so hard for the city. It turns out that she had rewritten the Flavor Text of the item, giving Akatsuki strength through her friends.

Trivia

 * After the Catastrophe, she has been making swords by hand.
