Parona

Parona is a young girl who tends to appear resourceful and independent.

She was often seen alone, living by herself in her village.

She is compassionate and self-sacrificing, always willing to risk herself for others.

Her strong sense of justice and empathy is highlighted through her actions, especially toward March.

Parona lost her family at a young age and lived alone in the village of Ninanna.

She formed a close, sisterly bond with March, treating her as family despite their lack of blood relation.

Her elder sister, Penna, died protecting her after being chosen as a sacrifice for Oniguma, leaving Parona deeply scarred.

While she has no supernatural powers, her tenacity and quick thinking stand out.

She is physically capable, brave, and highly resourceful, able to survive on her own from a young age.

March

Parona shares a deep, familial bond with March, fiercely protective of her.

She participates in March's pretend family games, reinforcing their chosen family relationship.

Fushi

She encounters Fushi as part of her struggle to save March and later tries to end her own life out of grief, but Fushi stops her.

Penna

Her beloved older sister Penna died to protect her, a trauma that fuels Parona's actions.

Hayase

Hayase is the one who ultimately kills Parona, marking a tragic end to her journey.

Parona is voiced by Aya Uchida in the anime adaptation.

Her death differs between the manga and anime; the anime presents her beheading on screen, while the manga only mentions it.

Even after death, Fushi is shown to possess the ability to transform into Parona, signifying her impression on his journey.

“I just want to protect her. Even if we aren’t family by blood, she’s still my family.”

Life in Ninanna

Parona grew up in Ninanna, living alone after the loss of her family.

Despite her solitude, she created close bonds, especially with March, and joined her pretend family games.

Sacrifice of Penna

Her childhood was marred when her sister Penna was chosen as a sacrifice for Oniguma in Parona’s place.

This haunted Parona, leaving her with guilt and a fierce desire to save others from the same fate.

Trying to Save March

When March is selected as the next sacrificial offering, Parona fiercely attempts to rescue her.

She risks everything to save March, viewing her as her own family.

After March’s Death

When March dies protecting her, Parona is completely devastated and almost takes her own life.

Fushi stops her, and she returns to Ninanna carrying March’s final letter.

Parona’s Fate

Eventually, the truth is revealed: Hayase beheads Parona.

This event is shown with graphic clarity in the anime and mentioned in passing in the original story.

Legacy

In later arcs, Fushi can transform into Parona, displaying her enduring influence on him.

Parona is one of the most memorable characters in the Ninanna arc.

Her story is a stark reminder of the pain, love, and power of human connection in To Your Eternity.
