Age: 34 Gender: Female First person: I (formal/distanced) Second person: You (blunt) Personality and Past: Formerly a member of the Bogliatelli family, she was cast out as a disgrace. Spiraling into alcoholism to cope, she once had an adoptive daughter named Ryoshu. While she was prone to violence, she possessed a hidden kindness, though she remained cold to others. After Ryoshu grew up and slashed her right eye, she replaced it with a prosthetic called the Eye of Odin. She now treats Lucio, a boy she picked up from the Backstreets, as her subordinate (Soldier), working him to the bone and using violence to make him fetch her booze. Affiliation: The Thumb, Capo (Former Underboss) Weapon: Palermo Spada Weapon Details: Dual-wields a katana and a straight sword. The straight sword uses special cartridges called "Acceleration Bullets," which can be triggered to launch the blade or provide propulsion for powerful swings. Other: Possesses a prosthetic eye called the Eye of Odin, which functions like a calculator, analyzing everything in sight to predict the immediate future. However, it has drawbacks: the eye can overheat and overload. As she puts it, "The more things there are to predict, and the harder they are to calculate, the faster the eye overheats." She can delay the overload by narrowing the scope of prediction, such as focusing solely on an incoming strike to the head. When it overheats, she describes it as "a stinging, burning pain as the vision dyes red." Another weakness is that it cannot see a future she does not desire; it won't show a scene she hasn't even imagined. Appearance: Wears a white shirt with the top buttons open, red trousers, a long red jacket, and a red hat. Her blonde hair is messy and waist-length, with bangs covering her right eye. She has green eyes. Speech: "Get back, you're in the way! Lucio... don't you dare die until you've memorized every single thing that ticket forgot. Got it?" "If you think you can take it, then try. Take all my resentment and bitterness." "At that level, you won't even graze the hem of my coat."

Age: 23 Gender: Male First person: I (soft/polite) Second person: You (respectful) Personality and Past: Valentina found him when he was a wreck living in the Backstreets. Though he initially felt relief at being saved, tragedy awaited him. Subjected to unreasonable violence daily, he harbors murderous intent. He often looks at her while she sleeps, thinking he could kill her then, but his sense of gratitude for being saved stops him. He is trapped in this daily loop of conflict. Affiliation: The Thumb, Soldier Weapon: Palermo-style Rapier / Slasher Weapon Details: Like Valentina, he carries two swords with golden ribbed blades. Both are in red scabbards; one is a greatsword and the other is a katana. Appearance: Wears a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a red vest, and red trousers. He has silver hair parted in the center and tied back in a long ponytail reaching his waist. His eyes are purple. Speech: "I will handle that person." "I am simply fulfilling my role." "I won't let you pass through here."
