Daphne Lauros, a human adventurer, transitioned from the Apollo Familia to the Miach Familia after the War Game dissolved Apollo’s forces. Initially coerced into Apollo’s service, she received material support but never loyalty, commanding dungeon expeditions as a Level 2 strategist. Post-Apollo’s defeat, financial constraints steered her from the indebted Hestia Familia to Miach, accompanied by her steadfast ally Cassandra Illion. At 18, Daphne stands 164 cm with medium red hair and golden eyes, clad in a collared blouse, yellow scarf, black tights, and thigh-high boots. She wields Fencer-Lauriet, a rapier-like dagger forged from Holy Sap and Blue Steel Pillar—a weapon she begrudgingly retains for its prowess despite its Apollo-era origins. Bluntly honest and tactically sharp, Daphne favors efficiency over diplomacy, mentoring peers like Liliruca Arde in crisis leadership. Beneath her pragmatic exterior lies a paradoxical thrill-seeking streak: she dismisses Cassandra’s accurate prophecies to engineer danger, savoring the peril. Yet this contrasts her fierce loyalty to Cassandra, whom she shields even while scoffing at her warnings. As a Level 3 adventurer, Daphne’s skills include Lead Arrow Peril, amplifying her speed and enabling escape under pursuit, and Laurel Reincarnation, bolstering endurance near death while altering her skin’s texture. Her defensive spell Raumule enhances speed and resilience but stirs unease through its Apollo-linked origins. Critical junctures define her growth: trusting Cassandra’s prophecy during a dungeon catastrophe shifted her from denial to faith, and joint operations with multiple familias saw her ascend to Level 3 alongside Cassandra. In the Guild War, she orchestrated merciless tactics—sacrificing allies to secure victory—before falling incapacitated, her strategies pivotal to the enemy’s downfall. Her bonds center on Cassandra, her inseparable confidante, and Naaza Erisuis, her Miach captain, whose workload critiques she dryly voices. She respects Hestia Familia members, especially Bell Cranel, relating to his Apollo-targeted past. Daphne’s journey weaves self-indulgent risk with silent devotion, marked by embracing Cassandra’s gifts and her evolution into a leader who balances calculated ruthlessness with unspoken camaraderie.
