Raph (Web Novel)

Raph (ラフ) is a shared name among all of the monsters of the Raph Race, Tali Race, Riya Race, Rafuta Race, and Taria Race.

Overview
They are all artificial lifeforms believed to be female and have features like eye colors, tails, bangs and ears similar to Raphtalia. Their body, however, is more monster-like and is more reminiscent of an average tanuki, albeit smaller.

They are creations made by Naofumi under the curse of the seven new sins. Naofumi attempts to resurrect Raphtalia through cloning using samples of her hair after she refuses to sympathize with him and his newfound goals, leading him to believe she's a fake. They have similar magic abilities to the original Raphtalia and feel a natural desire to bark the word "fake" at her when they meet. Far into the future, the Raph Race became known as the Raphshild Race, but newer Raphs were weaker than the ones not raised by Heroes like the Filolial Race.
