Background
The reason she researches monsters and alchemy is because she spent her childhood learning about the science and devoted her life it so she could give power to monsters that came to her of their own accord. For that goal, she has traveled the land and studied various monsters. She has learned and assimilated various sciences and magics. Some may consider it illegal.

With the support of her rival alchemist, Tact exiled Rat from Faubley. The reasons being that their areas of study clashed, so it was quite a trial. His research and Rat's contradicted one another. She objected to his idea of the airplane, and asked why he couldn't just use Flying Beasts, or Gryphons.

Summary
Rato is a first described as an Alchemist Master by the Queen and as a Mad Alchemist who focuses on monster experimentation by the Slave Merchant. She is known for causing many problems in Faubley, but she claims that those who were too incompetent to understand her research fabricated lies and exaggerated her mistakes to turn it into something bigger than it really was, like any typical mad scientist character. She tends to jump sporadically from project to project depending on what grabs her interest similar to a certain Tailor.

When she is first introduced she immediately probed Firo’s body thoroughly. When Firo resisted she backed away and threw a needle at her which was able to subdue her momentarily. Unfortunately Naofumi intervened and stopped her from going any further. Thinking of the possible benefits Naofumi considered recruiting her to his village, but first he asked for her modus operandi to which she responded “My aim? It’s to create powerful monsters of course”. c149

She elaborates on what she meant by "to create powerful monsters". She argues that monsters are discriminated against because they are weak and that they are just as good if not better than humans if they are treated as companions able to combat the Waves of Calamity. In creating strong monsters she will be able to prove such a thing. Hearing that, Naofumi decided that she would likely be beneficial so he said he would allow her to stay and study in the village if she became his slave to which she unhesitatingly agreed, in order to gain Naofumi's trust. c150
