Raphtalia

Raphtalia is a young demi-human of Tanuki descent whose peaceful childhood was shattered when the Waves of Calamity claimed the lives of her parents, ultimately casting her into the chains of slavery. Her fate took a dramatic turn when Shield Hero Naofumi Iwatani purchased her freedom — from that moment on, she became his sole sword and steadfast companion through countless harrowing battles. Far beyond mere physical growth, Raphtalia conquered the deep-seated trauma of her past through sheer willpower, evolving into an irreplaceable emotional anchor for Naofumi. Ultimately awakening as the Katana Hero and bearing the noble heritage of the Nine Heavens Island royal family, she forges ahead on a path dedicated to protecting those she holds dear.
