Raquel

"I will not join your army. As I have said before, I am a simple hunter. I cannot hurt other people. I'm sorry, but I must ask you to leave."

- Raquel, in a conversation with Sasha

Raquel (ラケル Rakeru) is from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. She is a hunter living in a small village north of the Gram Forest. Her unparalleled skill with the bow earned her the title of the Child of Bridget. She is also Ruka's older sister.

Raquel is special, in the sense that she is the only character in the game who is unable to kill off any human enemies, due to a vow she had made to herself. However, it is possible for this vow to be broken. Ruka has to be recruited in Map 2, followed by him visiting Raquel's house in Map 4 before recruiting her. Then, if both siblings are brought into Map 26A, the player will be given two options at the end of the battle. If the second option is chosen, Raquel will break her vow, at the expense of Ruka's death. However, this can be countered by resurrecting him at the Tower of Morse.

Recruitment
Have Sasha visit the top left village in Map 4.

Overview
Well, she isn't bad, that much is certain. Raquel is an interesting unit, being a pre-promote with alright growths and bases that aren't totally horrid. The catch is that Raquel can't kill any human enemies, without a certain event which requires Ruka to be recruited, and killed, not a pretty picture either way, though you could resurrect Ruka later in the game. While she will probably never kill a human in a playthrough, her Elite skill will allow her to keep up in levels regardless. When compared to Ruka and Rennie, Raquel doesn't really compare, except in Luck. Use Raquel in the early to mid-game to soften up tough foes as to train up your army, and to maybe, take care of monsters. Use her in the late game if you want, she'll hold her own just fine, just not amazingly.

Etymology
Raquel is the Spanish and Portuguese form of "Rachel", a Hebrew name meaning "ewe". In the book of Genesis, Rachel was one of the wives of Jacob, and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin.
