OVA
Description
Mara witnessed Bjor soldiers slaughter her parents during Orthozes's initial invasion, enduring childhood trauma. Rescued from the attack by the Crimson Knights' leader, she was molded into an exceptional fighter. Over time, her relationship with the Knights' leadership grew transactional; she felt reduced to a tool for missions, bearing combat risks while the commander claimed financial rewards and glory. This exploitation fueled her disillusionment, driving her departure to join the mercenary forces defending Orthozes.
Within the mercenaries, Mara forged bonds with the amnesiac wanderer Aide and Dino, a demon fighting to support his daughter after Bjor claimed his wife. Off-duty, she displayed a playful, occasionally flirtatious demeanor, contrasting sharply with her intense focus during missions or when confronting traumatic memories. Her fight remained driven by avenging her parents and protecting Orthozes from Bjor's ongoing aggression under Generalissimo Fract.
Mara played a pivotal role upon discovering Aide's uncanny resemblance to Fract, devising the strategy to infiltrate Bjor's camp. She actively participated in the plan to assassinate Fract, using Aide's likeness as cover. This culminated in her direct confrontation against Fract and the demon Mugen, where her actions included a significant tactical error that inadvertently triggered the final battle.
Her trajectory traces an evolution from a traumatized orphan weaponized by the Knights, through disillusionment with formal structures, to finding purpose within a mercenary unit bound by shared loss. Her combat prowess, emotional resilience forged in tragedy, and complex integration into the mercenary dynamic define her role in the conflict.
