Personality: The first thing to know about Rahzel is she’s her own person. When she was young she renamed herself, thus claiming owner of herself back, giving a little girl who had lost so much and been betrayed by the people who were supposed to protect her a new and secure self. Her name and the act of naming someone or something are incredibly important to her: it’s the act of claiming ownership rights of something. She gave power back to herself in naming herself. Thus her ginormous ego is born.
The second key thing to know about her is how stubborn she is. Rahzel named herself, is her own unchangeable person, and while as the manga progresses she does get better at taking in other people’s opinions and listening to them, the peanut gallery doesn’t always weigh in when it comes to final decisions she makes. She is very much an independent young woman who has been taught and groomed to stand on her own feet and form her own opinion without anyone elses influence and when she puts her mind to something she NEVER backs out of it.
Aside from the times she’s started to change and listen to the peanut gallery’s wisdom (her friends Alzied and Baroqueheart) the only other time she’s changed her mind is when her father, the man who took her in after her parents abandoned her and gave her everything she could ever need to mold herself into this new person, told her to come home, no matter what, no questions asked. She relented to him because he is her father, he’s given her so much so she figured the least she could do is listen to him, especially since he sounded so concerned for her safety. Within this bullheaded stubbornness comes a determination and will that is absolutely unshakable. Sure, it’s had a few minor trembles but she does not give up no matter what.
Now that that’s out of the way: Rahzel is extremely eccentric, spunky, perky and optimistic; shes a people person. She has no qualms about approaching strangers and chatting them up, gets excited about the little things like the circus or hanging out with her friends or hell, food, and she has a real soft spot for children. She’s incredibly forgiving and non-judgmental when it comes to other people’s pasts and plights (the ghost of a doctor who had killed his wife during surgery by accident and had intended to drug her, a child murderer), and though she won’t forgive someone hurting someone else in front of her, she tries to understand it. She's chock full of humorous, spunky and haughty references, and how some of the culture references of hers work when her world doesn't seem to have television is a mystery only she can pull off. Rahzel is very affectionate, from hand holding to well, punching, she’s comfortable and gentle when it comes to the people around her, even strangers, and that’s why she makes it easy to trust her and be around her, that attitude of gentle understanding, wanting to be around people. (Y'know when she isn't in their face) Underneath all that youthful enthusiasm and nosiness in other people’s business, Rahzel has real wisdom within her.
At one point when what can only be considered a mashup of human body parts, a zombie, is molded to be a deranged woman’s son brought back to life, Rahzel adamantly fights to keep her friends from putting the creature down, because to her it wasn’t a zombie: it was just a crying little boy. And as such, how do they have the right to put down something that was already given life without consent? The real deep questions like that disturb her and vault her into action and distress. That’s one of the only times she’s been so unsure, she repeats it over and over again that she doesn’t know what to do but the only thing she knew was that he was also a little boy once. Well, lots of little boys.
A key theme in the series is revenge; her companion Alzeid is in search of his father’s killer and time and time again Rahzel puts it plainly that she doesn’t support his revenge because she thinks it’s stupid, an unending cycle of pain and acknowledges that Alzeid wasted his youth getting stronger just for this goal. When a situation involving a little boy’s revenge for his murdered father pops up, she tells the boy plainly that it’s a cycle that never, ever ends. He would have killed his father’s killer, then the men who worked for the father’s killer would kill Rahzel’s friends, and then Rahzel would have had to kill all those men and eventually, someone would come to kill her. To her revenge is a waste of time and life, she even goes as far as to call it "stupid".
One more key theme which leads up to the point after this one is strength: A prostitute the trio met had the habit of taking this drug called Angel Text, however she was pregnant, but dependent on this drug. Rahzel took the drugs from her because she was worried about the baby the woman was carrying, but felt very conflicted about it. People take medicine for real medical reasons and grow dependent on these drugs to help strengthen them, she acknowledges this and goes on to proclaim that she hates them but at the same time knows the woman is dependent on them, she wants her to be healthy and it's her body so it's her right to do with it what she wishes. Then she questions what strength is, what qualifies as strength, unsure of the answer and ultimately conflicted about the issue. From a little girl who didn't have the strength to make her father stay with them on her birthday and prevent her mother's death and the destruction of her family, strength is incredibly imperative to Rahzel, and she's always trying to find new ways to strengthen herself and protect herself. Inside and out. But not just herself, other people too, everyone.
Another of the many important things about Rahzel is how much she cares, her boundless compassion. About you, about that random person on the street that’s struggling to make ends-meat and begging, about a prostitute that’s trying to change her ways for the new life growing inside her, about some random boy that’s being harassed by a group of men. She’s claimed that other people’s suffering doesn’t make her lose any sleep at night, but in canon she spends days hounding the streets for answers on the horrific death of a prostitute, and goes back to rescue a little boy who she’d only spent a few days with. When someone suffers in front of her Rahzel can’t help but get involved, and that’s why she’s considered nosy. One of the first things she says that really starts the tip of the iceberg of her Limitless Caring is "To form the word 'person' obviously the line on the left is relying on the line on the right!" To clarify, she means the Chinese character for 'person.' She proclaims that because people can't support each other unless they're on the same level, she strives to get as strong as she can and climb as high as she can, getting stronger to support all those that need it. On the other hand, she is incredibly stubborn when it comes to asking for help. She’s gotten better at it, no longer refuses to speak up that she’s sick until she passes out, for example, but Rahzel still puts top priority in the safety of others rather than herself.
As the series progresses, Rahzel has been called out time and time again about making attachments and being honest and sharing secrets. She’s naturally friendly to people (when she’s in a good mood) but she isn’t overly trusting. Matter of fact in volume two right off the bat she tells her future companion Baroqueheat at his debut that she doesn’t trust him. She can be wary about people and calculating when it comes to their intentions, she’s no fool. At the point in canon she’s taken from and beyond she is completely and utterly attached to her companions Baroqueheat and Alzeid. They are her precious, special friends and her family. She has said time and time again that she would die with them (and makes them promise that they’ll either save each other or sink with her when it was revealed that she can’t swim, l o l) and will do anything to save them, even surpass revenge at this point.
When it comes to her origins and the story of her rebirth, sharing those sorts of secrets, she’s...pretty tight lipped. As in she goes by her terms and only her terms and is pretty decent at changing the subject or glossing over the facts (but if you know her well enough, like Alzeid and Baroqueheat eventually did, one can tell there's a pause there and her expression is too cheery, too fake). In one case she told the story to a child that was suffering because of her own horrible origins and Baroqueheat overheard this story. Alzeid found out only because Baroqueheat told him in order to spare Rahzel retelling the story again and growing upset. She’s mysterious in this way, sidestepping the answers of her origins and instead prattling on about her adoptive father’s daughter complex to people she doesn’t know. She speaks a lot about being open and honest but she’s good at dodging questions and will do so until she grows close with someone. And on the other hand she does grow a bit frustrated when Alzeid and Baroqueheat aren’t open with her at the beginning, but then accepts discovering things about them little by little (by observing and the like) and answering when they ask and only if they ask. On her terms. As Baroqueheat callously mentioned once, she does want people to accept her for the things she tells them, and though she’s made some peace with her past, it’s still a very raw wound and she doesn’t want rejection either, thus, it’s complicated. She makes a big show of moving on from her past but it’s a burden that isn’t likely to leave her any time soon, only get easier, and harder with time.
While Rahzel has no qualms about roughing it and getting her hands dirty, she’s a total girly girl. She’s always dressed fashionably and cutely and is very conscious of her appearance and what looks good. Not to mention material things, these she loves. Not to the point where she’s overly greedy, but when it comes to food or shoes, she’ll gladly take it off someone’s hands.
On the flip side, along with that sugar and everything nice is a lot of spice. Rahzel has a definite trigger temper when she or someone else has some injustice does to them, and while grudges aren’t usually her forte, when her precious friends are involved she can have a real mean streak when it comes to protecting them. As most teenage girls are, her moods can be a bit turbulent, going from chipper to being downright irritated (general rudeness is often a great factor to get her irritated) but on the other hand she has huge reserves of sarcasm and rudeness herself (usually in the face of something sleazy, rude, injustice!!! Or even one time when the patrol squad knocked her down and made her drop her ice cream. Yeah. She treats rudeness with a healthy dose of her own rudeness). She’s beautifully expressive and ridiculous when angered, not to mention arrogant, buyer beware.
Rahzel is zero percent afraid of mercilessly trouncing her opponents, and has the habit of jumping into situations in need of a little TLC from her fists head first (or just, in most situations…) She can be increeeedibly arrogant and haughty, a defender of the underdog, but she has no trouble telling someone like it is or how much of a higher status she has over them. Her speech is littered with cultural references among her (…mostly) ladylike manner of speech. However she, again, isn’t afraid to curse or speak her mind or tell someone they are dirt between her toes. And she revels in doing that. So much. Perverts and smokers beware, this girl will trounce you silly and hang you up by your underwear. Seriously, she’s done it multiple times. For all her confidence and bluster, this isn’t to say Rahzel is completely without shame or shyness (usually around her own companions). Though a lot of the time it’s an act for show.
She takes challenges very personally (any kind of challenge, whether it be getting someone to crack a smile or crack some heads) and pushes herself to the limit time and time again to the point of passing out in order to show she’s not weak or useless to her much bigger and trained partners. She also can actually show some restraint! When Alzeid challenges her to not use her magic, instead of taking the three days he gave her, she increased it to a week because it “wouldn’t be a real challenge”. Along with her stubbornness comes her pride: it took a major hit even within the second chapter when she and Alzeid first became partners. They had an argument and she wasn't willing to give up her pride to make up with him, however, she saw the other side of things and learned pride wasn't important when it came to possibly losing a relationship (no matter how small and fragile as it was at the beginning). Thus, now she knows how to swallow her pride and be the first to apologize and be a bit more humble. But pride in herself and her skills and her stubbornness make up for the lost unlocked achievement.
Abilities: Rahzel is a user of magic. She was born with this power and it’s only increased since being kidnapped and drugged in volume three. She can create balls of energy to hurl at foes, can use the elements at her disposal, hurl wind back at a ghost, make water do her whims, and can generate fire. Though it’s used in a joking manner, it’s implied that since she’s a ‘witch’ she can at least levitate her body for short periods of time (But she probably can’t actually fly. At this point). She can create forcefields around people with air and use them to defend as long as she can keep it up. She has also been shown (exactly one chapter following the point in canon I'm taking her from) knowing traditional spells by word of mouth.
There are some magics that just don’t work. Her father described magic as “only being able to control of what we can see with our own eyes.” Her magic will not take her traveling through space time, can not bring back the dead, and can not control other people’s minds. Also, as far as healing goes, there hasn’t to my knowledge been a time in which she’s used healing magic on someone else’s wounds, let alone her own.
Since being drugged in volume three her powers have increased. Though past the point in canon she’s taken from (literally one chapter) she’s shown to be able to chant a spell in order to trick the enemy and then complete an entirely different spell at the same time. That new ability didn’t just happen overnight and has been increasing since being drugged, as such Rahzel obviously knew she could pull that off and had been practicing up to the point in canon I take her from. (This drug, Angel text, was supposed to make people into Angels and this man was put up to using it by Rahzel’s future nemesis and Guy Who Saved Her Life (Kiara). But in the end, instead of taking Rahzel's body like the minion had thought he was allowed, Kiara double crossed and killed him. In normal humans whose bodies rejected the drug, because the drug made them gain too many blood cells eventually they quite literally exploded into many parts.)
Rahzel is incredibly intelligent, well read and sharply strategic, able to do multiplication when she was five years old the day after being shown addition for the first time. As she grew her father gave her the knowledge to continue her growth, and she’s shown very quick thinking, especially with chemistry (when being pursued by enemies and barricading herself in a celler, she knew how to make a dust explosion in a pinch). Her father put her through multiple rounds of survival training in order for her not to be overly dependent on her magic so she could survive in a pinch. (As in, he took her up a mountain, handed her a knife and told her to get down by herself without using magic or else he'd hang himself). Even when her friends have been at the crosshairs she can coolly make a plan and fire off wisecracks along with her magical attacks.
Furthermore, she can most definitely take bodily harm. Despite her size and being a young girl, she can take a beating and can dole it out just as well, even without magic to back up her strength. Now, her stamina is ruled by her sheer will and naturally normal things like exhaustion isn’t beyond her (as it’s pointed out very early in canon: her companions are grown men who trained in the military and she’s just a girl, no matter how much survival training she’s had; it takes a lot for her to keep up with them. But she’s gotten better at it) Getting punched by a villain is no skin off her nose, and she even seems satisfied by the actions if it means egging her foes on and making them lose control by striking her. Her pain threshold, or at least her ability to cast it aside in a crisis, is remarkable as well: this girl dislocated her own wrist in order to get out of handcuffs and go save a little boy. Just bandaged the wound and went on her way like a pro. Other: •She wants muscles more than anything. •She has a burning need to nickname people. •Her birthday is (according to volume 8) March 21st, making her an Aries. •She is 152cm which is….4’9? •Her sense of direction is terrible. Incredibly horrible, as in she gets her trio lost every single time she’s in charge of a map and often goes missing in new towns. •She has a teddy bear bag that seems to be a black hole. No, really, the girl has packed up a full picnic lunch in there with no problem and pulled various torture devices and weapons from the bag. Since none of the trio are seen boggled down with luggage it’s safe to assume that’s where their other things are stored as well. •Things like spirits and magic users aren’t uncommon in her world, and people aren’t surprised or astounded when they discover her abilities. Ghosts seem to keep the fear factor but spirits of the departed and magic isn’t unusual. •The modes of transportation in her world seem to be just horse drawn carriages/buggies or boats. Or feet, of course. There are no cars or cellular phones, and no computers that I’ve ever noticed. However some of the cultural references that she or the others have would call for...at least a tv. So it can be written off as 4th wall. •She has a bit of a father complex....her relationship with older men in general is very complex •Remember when it was mentioned she was drugged and kidnapped? She was also psychologically screwed with and a part of her memory ("someone that I love") was taken from her. Thus far she hasn't been triggered after her experience and gets confused and frustrated when she tries to remember who it is she was made to forget. •She can't swim very well and almost drowned on her first try because she didn't tell anyone!!! Because she wanted to be cool!!!
Third Person: She was powerless. Literally and figuratively her wings had been clipped and once again Rahzel had been tossed head first into a situation way over her head. One that boisterous, smug declarations or her comrades longer legs couldn't get her out of. Not even Baroqueheat’s special ability (human shield) could help her here. And she wasn’t the only one involved. There were actual families pulled into this, it made her stomach flip and toss somewhere along her ribcage at the thought, real people forced to live their lives like this and, as thankful as she was to have someplace to stay and food to eat…she felt (as always, always, always) like she had to do something. But there were no villains heads to kick in and banter at until those responsible cower at her awesome might and beg for a ceasefire. No puzzles to figure out, no townspeople to sooth. To children to usher to their mothers.
Even as she stood, contemplating the last few days within this new world, washing dishes like a good little daughter, she felt utterly and completely helpless. Alone all over again, left by her companions, the only thing missing was a circle drawn in the sod, a forest backdrop, a hand she let go of and her chest squeezed, throat tightening- Her small, delicate fingers furiously scrubbed at a particularly stubborn spot of dried food on the plate at hand, throwing that thought to the wind with a dizzying shake of her head, dark curls swishing across her back.
“Nonono, this time is nothing like that! I’ve just been kidnapped again, that’s all. It happens every week; I’m just too irresistible and cute! I’m not alone. I have a family here, surely they can’t resist my charms. I’ll just hold on to them and not let go, not even if they beg. We’ll get out together. I’ll make friends. Allies. And we’ll get out of here.” Things were way different now. She was older and wiser and belonged to no one. Not to mention a better dresser by far.
She’d make due, surely. The girl with the magic touch and the stunning blue eyes always did, no matter what path she chose. Eventually she’d see her precious friends, her cherished family again. Their paths were destined to cross and had been (and always would be) ever since laying eyes on each other. “Hell yeah, I’ve got this!” Now if only this grease stain would come out. What, did they not believe in extra strength soap anymore?

There are some magics that just don’t work. Her father described magic as “only being able to control of what we can see with our own eyes.” Her magic will not take her traveling through space time, can not bring back the dead, and can not control other people’s minds. Also, as far as healing goes, there hasn’t to my knowledge been a time in which she’s used healing magic on someone else’s wounds, let alone her own.
Since being drugged in volume three her powers have increased. Though past the point in canon she’s taken from (literally one chapter) she’s shown to be able to chant a spell in order to trick the enemy and then complete an entirely different spell at the same time. That new ability didn’t just happen overnight and has been increasing since being drugged, as such Rahzel obviously knew she could pull that off and had been practicing up to the point in canon I take her from. (This drug, Angel text, was supposed to make people into Angels and this man was put up to using it by Rahzel’s future nemesis and Guy Who Saved Her Life (Kiara). But in the end, instead of taking Rahzel's body like the minion had thought he was allowed, Kiara double crossed and killed him. In normal humans whose bodies rejected the drug, because the drug made them gain too many blood cells eventually they quite literally exploded into many parts.)
Rahzel is incredibly intelligent, well read and sharply strategic, able to do multiplication when she was five years old the day after being shown addition for the first time. As she grew her father gave her the knowledge to continue her growth, and she’s shown very quick thinking, especially with chemistry (when being pursued by enemies and barricading herself in a celler, she knew how to make a dust explosion in a pinch). Her father put her through multiple rounds of survival training in order for her not to be overly dependent on her magic so she could survive in a pinch. (As in, he took her up a mountain, handed her a knife and told her to get down by herself without using magic or else he'd hang himself). Even when her friends have been at the crosshairs she can coolly make a plan and fire off wisecracks along with her magical attacks.
Furthermore, she can most definitely take bodily harm. Despite her size and being a young girl, she can take a beating and can dole it out just as well, even without magic to back up her strength. Now, her stamina is ruled by her sheer will and naturally normal things like exhaustion isn’t beyond her (as it’s pointed out very early in canon: her companions are grown men who trained in the military and she’s just a girl, no matter how much survival training she’s had; it takes a lot for her to keep up with them. But she’s gotten better at it) Getting punched by a villain is no skin off her nose, and she even seems satisfied by the actions if it means egging her foes on and making them lose control by striking her. Her pain threshold, or at least her ability to cast it aside in a crisis, is remarkable as well: this girl dislocated her own wrist in order to get out of handcuffs and go save a little boy. Just bandaged the wound and went on her way like a pro.
Other:
•She wants muscles more than anything.
•She has a burning need to nickname people.
•Her birthday is (according to volume 8) March 21st, making her an Aries.
•She is 152cm which is….4’9?
•Her sense of direction is terrible. Incredibly horrible, as in she gets her trio lost every single time she’s in charge of a map and often goes missing in new towns.
•She has a teddy bear bag that seems to be a black hole. No, really, the girl has packed up a full picnic lunch in there with no problem and pulled various torture devices and weapons from the bag. Since none of the trio are seen boggled down with luggage it’s safe to assume that’s where their other things are stored as well.
•Things like spirits and magic users aren’t uncommon in her world, and people aren’t surprised or astounded when they discover her abilities. Ghosts seem to keep the fear factor but spirits of the departed and magic isn’t unusual.
•The modes of transportation in her world seem to be just horse drawn carriages/buggies or boats. Or feet, of course. There are no cars or cellular phones, and no computers that I’ve ever noticed. However some of the cultural references that she or the others have would call for...at least a tv. So it can be written off as 4th wall.
•She has a bit of a father complex....her relationship with older men in general is very complex
•Remember when it was mentioned she was drugged and kidnapped? She was also psychologically screwed with and a part of her memory ("someone that I love") was taken from her. Thus far she hasn't been triggered after her experience and gets confused and frustrated when she tries to remember who it is she was made to forget.
•She can't swim very well and almost drowned on her first try because she didn't tell anyone!!! Because she wanted to be cool!!!

Third Person:
She was powerless. Literally and figuratively her wings had been clipped and once again Rahzel had been tossed head first into a situation way over her head. One that boisterous, smug declarations or her comrades longer legs couldn't get her out of. Not even Baroqueheat’s special ability (human shield) could help her here.
And she wasn’t the only one involved. There were actual families pulled into this, it made her stomach flip and toss somewhere along her ribcage at the thought, real people forced to live their lives like this and, as thankful as she was to have someplace to stay and food to eat…she felt (as always, always, always) like she had to do something. But there were no villains heads to kick in and banter at until those responsible cower at her awesome might and beg for a ceasefire. No puzzles to figure out, no townspeople to sooth. To children to usher to their mothers.
Even as she stood, contemplating the last few days within this new world, washing dishes like a good little daughter, she felt utterly and completely helpless. Alone all over again, left by her companions, the only thing missing was a circle drawn in the sod, a forest backdrop, a hand she let go of and her chest squeezed, throat tightening-
Her small, delicate fingers furiously scrubbed at a particularly stubborn spot of dried food on the plate at hand, throwing that thought to the wind with a dizzying shake of her head, dark curls swishing across her back.
“Nonono, this time is nothing like that! I’ve just been kidnapped again, that’s all. It happens every week; I’m just too irresistible and cute! I’m not alone. I have a family here, surely they can’t resist my charms. I’ll just hold on to them and not let go, not even if they beg. We’ll get out together. I’ll make friends. Allies. And we’ll get out of here.” Things were way different now. She was older and wiser and belonged to no one. Not to mention a better dresser by far.
She’d make due, surely. The girl with the magic touch and the stunning blue eyes always did, no matter what path she chose. Eventually she’d see her precious friends, her cherished family again. Their paths were destined to cross and had been (and always would be) ever since laying eyes on each other.
“Hell yeah, I’ve got this!” Now if only this grease stain would come out. What, did they not believe in extra strength soap anymore?
