Audrey

Audrey is Claymore No. 3 of the current generation. She is a defensive type.

Etymology
"Audrey" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Ōdorī" (オードリー, pronounced "au-dr-ey").

"Audrey" is derived from the Old English "æðel" (noble) and "þryð" (strength). Name of a 7th Century princess of East Anglia, England.

Appearance
Audrey has long, straight hair, much like Galatea's and Irene's, both of whom were also ranked as No.3 during their generations. She has silver eyes and wears the standard Claymore uniform.

Personality
Audrey is a very well mannered and proud warrior, the opposite of Rachel. She also has a strong sense of honor, as evidenced when Miria appeals to Audrey's chivalrous nature. She has a personalitiy that could be compared to Sophia and Jean, along with her relationship with Rachel being similar to the relationship between Sophia and Noel. When she attempted to take down Riful, she became terrified once she realized the amount of yoki the Abyssal One possesses.

Gentle Sword
Gentle Sword is Audrey's signature technique, where she uses her sword to deflect her opponent's attack without opposing it with force. This creates a good defense, being able to easily reflect any opponents' attack in any direction.

Biography
Audrey is first seen trying to do battle with Abyssal One Riful, along with Rachel. She uses the Gentle Sword move to deflect Riful's tentacles. Riful is the one who names this technique a "Gentle Sword."

Despite this, she is easily defeated. Both she and Rachel have to be saved from their imminent deaths by Miria, Deneve, Helen and Clare. Unlike Rachel, she is still conscious when this happens. In return for saving her and the hunting party, she answers their questions on Galatea, telling them that she is still alive but has deserted the Organization. Later, when Miria attacks the Organization, Audrey confronts her with Rachel, but both easily get incapacitated by her.

Moved by Miria's mercy, she and the rest of her generation joined the former no.6 in her rebellion against the Organization. Currently she, along with Nina and Rachel, are engaged in a battle with a group of Abyss Feeders.

Rachel
Audrey appears familiar with Claymore No. 5, Rachel. Whether they are actual friends or only working acquaintances is unknown. Rachel and Audrey are bipolar opposites like Helen and Deneve.
