Raquel Alucard

Raquel Alucard is one of the main characters of the BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience series. Her life-force value hovers around 80,000,000.

Bloodedge Experience — Part 1
Raquel appears near the end of Chapter 1: Contact; she is seen running away from a man with the life-force value of 0 and dashes past Naoto Kurogane. On her escape from her assailant, the duo managed to virtually destroy an entire street, pictures of which were eventually uploaded to the TOi. Once her and the man came to a dead end in a zone that not even the roughest of criminals would enter, the two engaged in combat until the arrival of Naoto. When Naoto ended up in the way, Raquel called out to him and subsequently landed a devastating kick to the insect-like man, knocking him out. After this, Naoto and Raquel began conversing, with the latter beating him after he made an inappropriate comment about her chest size, following this, she warned him to leave this place as he was only in her way; however, she changed her tone and realized it was too late as the insect-like man seemingly underwent metamorphosis to become something far more grotesque, it was at this point that Raquel dragged Naoto away from the danger until she became ensnared in his grasp.

Having been caught by the monstrosity, Raquel was beaten by it as Naoto ran into the nearest building, reminding the vampire of what had once been said to her about human nature. After squirming to get out of the monsters grip, Naoto rescued her by striking the former man in the back of the head with a fire extinguisher, throwing Raquel high into the air, with Naoto promptly catching her. After a few moments of stunned silence, she silently asked him why he came back, to which he told her that he couldn't leave a woman behind and run to save his own hide. After several more moments, she requested to be put down and Naoto, coming out of a trance, agreed.

Raquel walked towards the corpse of insect-like man and pronounced him dead, however, an insect the size of the mans head emerged and severed Naoto's right arm from his body when he tried to protect her. Raquel announced that she had been careless and that it 'emerged'.

Walking up to her dying savior, Raquel gave him an ultimatum; live or die. Naoto chose the former, to which Raquel said she would save him as long as he helped her get the Azure. She told him her name and bit him in his neck, rendering the young man unconscious. She later forms an arm for Naoto out of her own blood.

Personality
Raquel is shown to be headstrong and confident in her abilities as a combatant. When Naoto's arm gets severed, however, she does not think much of it, only saying how she was just 'careless'.

She is also very weary of human behavior, having been told once that humans are cowardly and weak, believing that Naoto would be the same once he ran to find something to save her with, ultimately, she was proven wrong. Like other characters in the series who are weary of their small chest sizes, Raquel follows this rule and beats Naoto when he accidentally makes a comment on it.

Appearance
Described as being beautiful by Naoto, Raquel has golden eyes, long blonde hair tied into a singular tail with a black ribbon done in such a way that it resembles the ears of a rabbit. She wears a black mantle that reaches down to her feet and wears no underwear.

Raquel's current outfit consists of white collar blouse with long sleeves and a red tie, and black mini stylish skirt.

Physically, Raquel is extremely similar to Rachel Alucard, something that Naoto picks up on. Despite this, Raquel has the appearance of a young woman around the age of 16 and looks considerably older than the 12 year old looking Rachel.

Powers and Abilities
Like any other cliché vampire found in various media, Raquel can bite others to turn them into her own servants. However frequently she may do this, however, is yet to be seen. Raquel, like Rachel, has the ability Slave Red, which allows her take control of any person she wishes. She also has the ability to physically melt into someones shadow as a means of being 'carried', so to speak; it can also act as an efficient method of hiding from opponents. Raquel's magical prowess can be used to augment her ability to detect Remains of Azure.

Physically, she is shown to have very swift and powerful kicks, easily downing an opponent that later proved to be a fatal combatant in battle.

Raquel's Drive is Tempest and it allows her full control over the wind.
