Geomaru & Nuna
Geomaru
Inspiration
Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line & Jade
Body: The Geopark
Colors: New and Old Geology
Geomaru's forehead and back are lined with jade magatama. Despite his cute appearance and youthful energy, he is actually millions of years old. He loves everything about the Geopark, but is especially interested in its rocks, landscapes and nature.
He's not really sure what he is, but he knows for sure that he's not a dinosaur and gets annoyed when people mistake him for one.
Inspiration
Itoigawa's Legendary Ruler, Princess Nunakawa
Nuna is very gentle, caring and kind to animals, but can be stern when she needs to be. She is also very wise and has studied a lot about Itoigawa, especially about its jade and its culture and traditions.
Seeing them together, you would think she is a big sister to Geomaru, but she is actually much, much younger. Just don't dare ask her how much younger!
