Kyuu

Number 9 is a recurring character in Beastars. Along with Number 3, she is Louis' former friend and cellmate from when they were raised as a livestock and locked up with other herbivore children in the black market.

Appearance
Number 9 is a small female lop-eared rabbit with Siamese markings. Her fur is a lighter shade while the fur around her muzzle and ears are darker. She has thick eyebrows and large, dark eyes. Like Louis and Number 3, Number 9 also has her livestock brand imprinted on her left foot.

Personality
Number 9 appears to be cold and calculating and is clearly hardened by surviving as a herbivore in the world of the black market. She shows no hesitation when it comes to taking on a larger predator like Legosi and her skills even allow her to overpower him within seconds of meeting him. Although abrasive and distant, Number 9 does eventually drop her guard after recognizing Louis as her old friend, but refuses to apologize to Legosi for attacking him and justifies her actions by saying that she was simply doing what it takes for a herbivore to survive.

 * Chimera:

Number 3
Number 9 and Number 3 were both friends of Louis while sharing the same cell during their time as raised livestock. After Louis was adopted by Oguma, Number 9 and Number 3 have since found ways to survive the black market together, and have presumably been friends and companions ever since. Between the two, Number 3 is quite friendly, while Number 9 is more standoffish.

Louis
Though Louis was a childhood friend of Number 9, she fails to recognize him immediately and as a result, both she and Number 3 attack Louis and Legosi after they crash through the floor into their hideout. She seemed to have no problem slicing him up for meat to sell at first. Number 9 eventually recognized him and called off the attack, showing that she remembers their time together and has no desire to hurt an old friend.
