Reppuu

Personal Info

A principle-driven Explorer who relentlessly pushes her limits and has little interest in anything else.
Ruthlessly self-disciplined, she stands ready for every challenge, always the first to confront danger in battle.

With a tenderness as formidable as her strength, she never looks down upon those who stand behind her.
To her, unbreakable resolve and a heart of iron matter far more than raw power.
When encountering those content with mediocrity, she simply walks away post-mission without commentary.

Chronicles

We poured our hearts into raising her, yet she refuses to leverage her position to secure more resources for us from the family.
But that's not a big deal. Just like you said, my precious daughter is already making a name for herself in the Abyss.
Hahaha. Once her reputation spreads far enough, the family will have no choice but to deliver what's rightfully ours on their knees.
— Reppuu's Father

The first time I saw her was at the training ring over there. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. Every day, rain or shine.
The effort she put in was beyond what any other junior in the family could even fathom.
Back then, her family was struggling. No one in the clan would spare her guidance, and I happened to have time to kill. So I gave her a few pointers. That's all.
She deserves everything she has achieved now. That is a fruit of her hard work, not talent or luck.
— Manager of the Family's Training Ring

Incredibly strong, yet just as kind. She might seem aloof at first, but she's genuinely warm-hearted.
When we teamed up, I was still new to the Abyss, clumsy at everything...
But she never looked down on me. Instead, she was a good mentor and gave me invaluable advice.
— An Explorer

Record

Reppuu seizes every opportunity to improve. If an action might further her training, she does it without a second thought.
This explains why she voluntarily assists teammates with extra tasks, each one treated as another stepping stone.
A woman of few words who avoids crowds, she transforms in combat: precise, ferocious, almost euphoric.

Ironically, the Explorer who's reliable in the field takes a fairly relaxed attitude towards everything else in her daily life, especially material possessions.
According to her teammates, there are numerous instances where she gave away all carried valuables to the rescued Explorers or scavengers, leaving herself broke.
Whether this stems from genuine disregard for wealth or compassion for the weak remains unclear.

Anecdote

Once again, Reppuu found herself penniless. After inventorying what she had, she went to a pawnshop.

Just hours earlier, she had encountered a scavenger woman and her child fleeing from monsters.
The mother had desperately tried to shield her son, urging him to run, but the boy had stayed beside his mother, with a stick as his sword.
"You can't protect her. Right now, you're powerless. If that angers you, let it fuel your growth."
After effortlessly killing the monster, Reppuu had left them all her money, enough for the boy to be apprenticed to a proper mentor.

"Kid, this junk ain't worth much."
The pawnbroker stroked his beard as he poked at her items, his gaze periodically flicking to assess her.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "That spear of yours, though—"
"Not a chance. Only these." Reppuu cut him off, tightening her grip on her weapon.

She understood better than anyone what it meant to be powerless.
The overlooked child from a minor branch of her clan, subjected to scorn... until the day she won the family tournament, and suddenly everyone clamored for her favor.
Oh yes, she knew it all too well.
This spear was her prize of that victory and is now the source of her resolve.
"When I hold it, I never lose my way."
