OVA
Description
Rachel Hammond is Isaac Hammond's younger sister. Though grateful his dangerous tactical sorcerist work funded her education, she deeply cares for him and strongly disapproves of his profession. She fears the inherent risks of battling demons with magic, knowing practitioners can transform into monsters themselves. Tragically, she dies in a demon attack shortly before Isaac's planned retirement. Her death shatters Isaac, profoundly altering his character and motivations. In his grief, he cradles her body, staining his hands with her blood which he later wears "like war-paint" as he seeks answers. Her killing is eventually revealed as part of a conspiracy; Isaac's corrupt employer indirectly orchestrated the attack by sabotaging protective equipment. Rachel possesses waist-length blonde or yellow hair and blue or grey eyes. Narratively, she serves as Isaac's morality chain, her death acting as the catalyst for his subsequent actions, disillusionment, and eventual transformation into a demon upon uncovering the betrayal behind her murder.
