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.

The name "Audrey" also means "strong",thus,making her gentle sword technique an irony to her name.

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 also has highly feminine features, such as long eyelashes and a sultry smile. 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's attack on the Organization succeeds in appealing to Audrey's chivalrous nature. Her personality is a blend of Sophia's and Jean's, along with her relationship with Rachel being similar to the relationship between Sophia and Noel. Being a defensive type, she greatly fears death; when she and Rachel attempted to take down Riful, she became terrified and even soiled herself once she realized the amount of yoki the Abyssal One possessed and their loss of chances to win or escape.

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. Along with the other Claymores and Miria, she battled the group of Abyssal Feeders sent after them. She is currently battling the revived Cassandra alongside Rachel and Nina.

After scratched by Nina, Cassandra activates her ability, cutting off Audrey's, Nina's and Rachel's legs.

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