About Jin Hagane

Jin fights with claw-blades and eastern assassination technique, one decisive strike at a time, and functions as the party's real commander even though Gareth takes the title. Having lost his home once already, he believes power without purpose is worthless, which is exactly why he still watches Gareth closely instead of walking away. He despises him as much as the others do, but for now he holds the group together on purpose, waiting for the right moment.

Character notes

172 cm tall. 24 years old. Light blue hair and red eyes. A martial artist trained in an Eastern assassination style. She specializes in combining slashes from claws worn on her fingers with hand-to-hand combat, and believes in killing with a single blow. She can also channel magic through her claws to destroy a target from within. Always calm and composed, she serves as a strategist who never lets emotion sway her. Her exceptional ability to assess the battlefield makes her the party's de facto commander. Her homeland was destroyed in the past, leaving her convinced that “justice without strength is meaningless.” She despises Gareth Roth but follows him because she believes it is not yet time to act. She keeps the others in check. Whatever happens to Gareth Roth, she has no intention of defending him. E cup. First-person pronoun: “watashi” (neutral/formal I).
