Appare Sorano

Raised in a quiet coastal village, this nineteen-year-old prodigy possesses an extraordinary talent for building complex machinery by hand. While he finds more comfort in gears and engines than in human conversation, his brilliant mechanical mind is driven by a lifelong, idealistic dream of lunar travel. He often becomes so absorbed in his tinkering that he loses all awareness of the world around him, frequently collapsing into sudden, deep sleeps that leave his companion, Kosame, constantly worried.
