OVA
Description
Carrie is a significant supporting character in the 1989 anime, serving as the young accomplice to the primary antagonist, Semmerling. She is a teenage girl who participates directly in her partner’s criminal schemes, most notably the kidnapping of the wealthy George Grimwood.
Carrie is portrayed as being in a deeply troubled and abusive relationship with Semmerling, who treats her poorly and exploits her for the purposes of their heists. One source describes the relationship as abusive, with Semmerling subjecting Carrie to mistreatment in a manner that contrasts sharply with the otherwise light-hearted action tone of the OVA. Another source refers to the relationship as exploitative and pedophilic, indicating that Carrie is manipulated and controlled by the older criminal. This dynamic defines her personal circumstances and her motivations, which are largely tied to her servitude to Semmerling.
In the story, Carrie acts as Semmerling’s helper and is directly involved in the plot to extort money from the Grimwood family. After Semmerling uses disguises and manipulation to frame the protagonists, Bean Bandit and Rally Vincent, for the kidnapping of Chelsea Grimwood, Carrie is tasked with holding the girl’s father, George Grimwood, hostage. Her role is integral to the villains’ plan to secure a getaway with the ransom money. After Semmerling is killed during the ensuing confrontation, Carrie’s role shifts, as she is left to flee the scene alongside Bean and Rally as the situation is resolved.
Carrie’s key relationship is, by necessity, with Semmerling, though it is built on a foundation of abuse rather than genuine partnership or loyalty. She has no significant positive relationships with other characters for much of the narrative, though her circumstances eventually connect her to the protagonists following Semmerling’s demise. Regarding character development, she begins as a loyal but mistreated subordinate who aids in the kidnapping scheme. However, her trajectory points toward a change, as one source notes that she eventually seeks revenge following the events of the kidnapping, suggesting a turning point in her character arc after her escape. The story does not extensively document notable fighting skills or exceptional talents, though she is clearly capable of assisting in high-stakes criminal activities. She confronts Bean Bandit directly in a parking garage at one point, showing a degree of nerve and willingness to engage with dangerous individuals.
