Raphtalia

Summary= Raphtalia is the first cursed slave of Iwatani Naofumi. She was terrified of her new master, but slowly began to develop trust and eventually romantic feelings for him. She is 10 years old but she can pass for her early 20s as Demi-humans age as they level. She generally uses a sword and illusion (Light and Dark) magic, but began to be able to use a wider variety of magic types after her Class Up. She was able to study magic under the tutelage of the Melromarc's Court Magician and later went with Granny to study and become a master of Hengen Musou. Raphtalia is the most important person to Naofumi and is considered his right hand. She is from a subspecies of Tanuki with a unique lineage that comes from a certain hidden village within a secluded country in the east however she was born in a town which is now Rock Valley when her parents ran away from the village to elope. When she was growing up Sadina acted as her family's gardian, but was away when the first wave appeared and destroyed the village she was born in. Personality= Initially Raphtalia is very timid, sickly, and fearful as a result of her status as a slave as well as the destruction of her village. After the encounter with the two-headed dog monster she overcomes her trauma from her parents death at the hands of the cerberus, and acknowledges Naofumi as a hero in her own mind. The current Raphtalia is focused on efficiency, in both combat, training, and money expenditures, she is extremely devoted to Naofumi, and harbors feelings for him which the other party remains oblivious to. Appearance= Originally having the appearance of a young girl after leveling up her body develops into that of a mature woman as a result of her nature as a demi-human. Background= Born in a fishing village, Raphtalia spent part of her childhood with her parents until the monsters from the wave came and destroyed her village, only surviving by her parents sacrificing themselves. Alone and sickly she was picked up by a slave merchant and put up for sale in the capital of Melromarc. Abilities= Skills Hengen Musou Skills Seven Star Hammer Skills

Abilities
In battle, she is weaker than Firo, but against skilled opponents she can use illusion magic to gain the upper hand. Her style is based on efficiency.

Initially Raphtalia was frail slave with no combat ability. While he was a shield, Naofumi bought her in order to be his sword. With Naofumi as a vanguard who was in charge for the defence and luring opponents to himself, Raphtalia was responsible for the attack. As she grew stronger and with the guidance of Ojaji, Raphtalia has grown into a highly skilled fighter. Raphtalia is part of Tanuki race, specializing in illusion magic, and has an affinity for light and darkness systems. In other words, it is possible to fake her own appearance. From slavery correction, Firo's ahoge, and class up, Raphtalia's stats are nearly on pare with heroes.

Magic Skills
Raphtalia’s best magic was Light and Darkness. She can manipulate them to create illusions. The Class Up let her use more types of magic, but that magic seems to remain her specialty. For some reason, after classing-up Raphtalia has begun to be able to use magic other than Illusion. She has started absorbing new types of magic into her fighting style like a sponge.

Raphtalia was taught magic in the castle and therefore knew more advanced concealing magic.
 * Illusion Sword: is a special skill used to hide Raphtalia.
 * Ying Yang Blade: A technique where she fires the energy released by a defeated enemy and converts it into an attack.
 * All Trick Mirage: Reverses the caster's and the opponent's appearance.

Rapier Style
Circle: The wielder twirls his or her rapier in a full circle, and the blade makes a high shriek as it passes through the air. All projectiles fired at the wielder are mowed down.
