Roxanne



Roxanne was Claymore No. 1 of her generation and is considered to be one of the eight most powerful Claymores of all time. During her lifetime, she was known as "Roxanne of Love and Hate" (愛憎のロクサーヌ, Aizō no Rokusānu) and was apparently troublesome to the Organization.

She is one of the three Claymores revived by Dae and the Organization in order to stop the uprising of the current warriors. Among the three, she appears to be the only one who can remember her name.

Etymology
"Roxanne" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Rokusānu" (ロクサーヌ).

"Roxanne" is a French feminine proper name, from the Latin Roxane, from the Greek Rhoxane, and of Persian origin, associated with the Avestan word raoxšna meaning "shining, bright."

Appearance
Roxanne has wavy, pale blond hair pulled tight into two pigtails with straight bangs swept to the left. She has a very feminine look with prominent lashes and a notable beauty mark below her right eye. She has silver eyes, as with all Claymores.

Abilities
Roxanne's abilities remain largely unknown. It has been shown, however, that she is skilled enough to emerge victorious seemingly effortlessly against twins utilizing soul link, although it must be noted that the two are just trainees. She had the ability to learn the yoki of other warriors and copy their skills.



Cassandra
Roxanne explicitly states that she knew Cassandra as she was a warrior of the same era. She was the one who landed the finishing blow on the latter.While watching Cassandra struggle against Audrey, Rachel and Nina, Roxanne recalls how she met Cassandra. Roxanne started off as a low-ranked warrior, but she quickly rose through the ranks because she had the ability to learn the yoki of other warriors and copy their skills. Roxanne climbed the ranks by copying the skills of higher ranked warriors until she was finally at no. 5, and all of the warriors she copied her skills from all met their ends soon after Roxanne had mastered their skills. Roxanne eventually took interest in the then no. 1 Cassandra. Cassandra always worked alone and no one is sure how she fights. Roxanne made an effort to befriend Cassandra, and despite Cassandra's reputation as a loner the two actually struck up a friendship of sorts. After following Cassandra, Roxanne finally witnessed Cassandra killing an Awakened One. After the battle, Roxanne decided to give Cassandra a nickname. Roxanne notes that Cassandra battles by using her feet as an anchor and swinging her body around really low to the ground, and most opponents are not used to being attacked from that angle. And this is why Roxanne gave Cassandra the name of "Dust Eater".
