That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime tells the story of Rimuru Tempest the powerhouse slime and his quest to form a brand-new nation of monsters where all people can live in peace. Along the way, Rimuru makes many allies and good friends, and he also has his fair share of enemies. These characters are highly diverse in species, powers, personality, and even political positions.
Rimuru's friends vary greatly in their worldview and personality, and some of them are better role models for viewers than others.

Which Slime characters are known for their kindness, generosity, and positive personalities?

Eren is gentle and supportive of her friends and allies, and she doesn't tolerate bullying or nonsense. She is a level-headed young woman who just wants everyone to be safe and happy, and only a truly kind person would think like that.
9 Kurobe Gladly Shares His Expertise With Others
Kurobe is not a warrior, which sets him apart from Benimaru and Hakuro. Instead, he is a blacksmith ogre, and he takes his trade quite seriously. When Kurobe became a kijin and gained his name, he became a vital part of Rimuru's city's economy. He can make all kinds of things in his blacksmith shop.
Kurobe is among the best of what he does, but he doesn't boast. Instead, Kurobe generously crafts items for others to use, and he gets along well with Kaijin, a dwarf blacksmith from the Armed Nation of Dwargo. Anyone can become Kurobe's good friend if they ask.
8 Kaijin Will Do Anything For A Customer
Kaijin is the other major blacksmith of Rimuru's city, and he's a loyal friend to Rimuru. Kaijin forged all kinds of incredible swords in his native land, but eventually, he was exiled, and he was allowed to work for Rimuru and the goblin village instead.
Kaijin can be a bit gruff when he's in the middle of work, but then again, no craftsman likes to be interrupted. Otherwise, though, Kaijin is easy to get along with and will gladly make all kinds of weapons and items for his friends, allies, and customers. He's here to serve, and he finds the work to be highly rewarding.
7 Rigurd Looks Out For All Goblins
Rigurd has long since led the goblin village, but until he met Rimuru, it was difficult work, and the goblin tribe was weak. Still, Rigurd did his best to protect and lead his fellows, and his kindness showed itself through his exemplary leadership. Joining Rimuru's nation helped boost his career along.
Rigurd is rather eccentric at times, and he doesn't mind showing off his incredible new physique.

He is also a loyal and enthusiastic follower of Rimuru and believes in his vision. Everything he does is for the sake of others.
6 Tiss-Sensei Looks After Shizue's Students

Although Tiss feels a bit overwhelmed at times, she takes this job seriously, and she wants to see those kids succeed, both out of duty and because she likes them. She is the gentle and nurturing type, and that's just what they need. She gets along well with Rimuru, too.
5 Geld Has A Big Heart
Despite his intimidating appearance, the orc leader Geld is actually a very kind and helpful person, and he is eager, even desperate, to redeem his entire race by serving Rimuru Tempest. He is nothing like the previous Geld, who becomes the Orc Disaster fights Rimuru in Season 1.
Geld uses his race's physical strength for construction, not just war, and he takes pride in the many things they have built, from houses to roads. Not only is Geld humble and helpful, but he is also the giant friend of a young goblin girl during the Slime Diaries episodes.
4 Treyni Looks Out For The Forest

She rarely fights, but when she fights Clayman's minions, she accepts Adalman's offer to join her, generously giving that skeletal warrior a second chance. Other characters might not have been so forgiving.
Shuna prefers peace over war, and she is also a classy person who can easily host a polite meeting or dinner party and make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Only a wonderfully kind person would do that without even being asked. She also likes to dress people up so they can look their best, including Rimuru himself.
2 Shizue Izawa Risked Her Life For Others
Shizue Izawa was a powerful and likable isekai warrior, just like Rimuru, and she arrived in this world from World War II-era Japan when Leon Cromwell summoned her. Shizue suffered when Leon put the Ifrit fire spirit in her, but she soon learned to harness its power for the benefit of others.
Shizue was trained by the masked Hero, then took over the Hero's role, complete with the mask, for years on end. She looked after Kenya, Chloe, and the other kids for years, and her greatest wish was for those kids to have someone to look after them when she was gone. Even on her deathbed, Shizue could only think of the needs of others.
1 Rimuru Tempest Gives Almost Everyone A Second Chance
Not only is Rimuru Tempest a kind and compassionate person, but those traits are what drives the entire plot of Slime. Rimuru could have wandered the world as a lone wolf loaded with magical powers, but instead, he decided to make the world a better place for everyone else.
Practically everything Rimuru does is for the benefit of other parties, from individuals like Shizue to those Freedom Academy kids to entire species or nations. Rimuru will forgive anyone who wants to redeem themselves, and he makes sure to find a role and purpose for everyone who wants to join him.
