Band Cell

Band Cell (Band Neutrophil) is one of the main protagonists of Cells at Work! WHITE.

Appearance
Band cell has a relatively petite build with tousled white hair and dark eyes. He debuts in attire typical of immature white blood cells in the bone marrow, but is quickly replaced with the standard Neutrophil uniform. He cuffs his sleeves at elbow length and his pants at mid-calf length. Instead of the numbered badge standard in neutrophil uniforms, he wears a rookie badge to identify his still immature status.

Personality
Band cell is an earnest young cell who seeks to meet the expectations set for him, despite his inexperience. He seems to be insecure about himself and frequently compares himself to his seniors, doubting his own abilities. Even so, he is resilient and hardworking. Band cell is empathetic, and quickly befriends Naive T cell due to their common apparent lack of friends.

Trivia

 * He shows distaste for consumption of bacteria and viruses, describing the texture and presentation as unappetizing. This is possibly simply due to his inexperience in phagocytosis.
 * Band cell was the Myelocyte that had wandered from the bone marrow and later retrieved and returned by U-2048 when the latter was a rookie. He remembers giving the origami cedar pollen as a gift of gratitude, and briefly wonders if the origami was still intact.
 * Band cell is a poor artist and cannot draw an identifiable virus or bacteria when asked to retrospectively describe an encounter.
