Raquel Applegate
About
Gender: Female
Class: Master Fencer
Weapon: Sword
Raquel is a tragic heroine, afflicted with a serious and incurable disease since she was a child. She is one of the few survivors of the disaster that annihilated her hometown, which was accidentally caused by Hauser. Since then, she's embarked on a mission to live life to the fullest and see as much beauty in the world as she can. It is for this reason that she joins up with Jude Maverick and his party.
Raquel is a devastatingly skilled, albeit slow, swordsman (despite being referred to as a Fast Draw artist at one point). She also represents the calmer, more mature member of the group, using her insights to rein in the other, more emotional impulses of Jude and Arnaud.
Over the course of the adventure, Raquel finds herself falling in love with the party's crest sorcerer, Arnaud Vasquez. The two develop a relationship which eventually leads to their marriage and the birth of their child. Unfortunately, Raquel herself never finds a cure for her disease, but her determination to make the most of her life greatly matured her eventual husband.
