Character

Rachel "Ray" Gardner

レイチェル・ガードナー

Rachel Gardner, also known as Ray, is the protagonist of the game, manga and anime Satsuriku no Tenshi. She is the first playable character of the game who is a young girl that awakes in a building with initially no recollection of why she is there. In Episode 4, it is revealed that she is actually the B1 floor master. Ray is a cute 13-year-old girl of small stature with hip-length blonde hair that has a single hair strand hanging in the middle of her face (mostly on the right side), large blue eyes and a petite frame. Her eyes vary in saturation through the game: At the end of. Episode 3, they're shown to be a much darker blue. During Episode 4, it is a visible dark blue to light blue gradient. She wears a shirt that has black and white horizontal stripes where it almost covers her black shorts, a loose white cardigan and clunky black boots with silver buckles. In addition, Ray wears a plain black choker and she has a small black messenger bag with a triangular flap. Ray is originally presented as an extremely calm and collected girl, although this likely stems from her desire to die and the other floor masters say that she is ruthless, selfish and manipulative who is willing to do anything to get what she wants. However, it is a misnomer to consider her an evil or malicious person as she does not inherently understand human morality and does not have actual cruel impulses. She is shown to have issues with empathy and difficulty expressing or understanding emotions, and while she has shown fear, anger, compassion, and happiness, these are rare, fleeting, and moderate. She does not, however, fake emotions, and will not pretend to have feelings that are not present. In the later episodes, though, she appears to become more expressive. Ray is fixated on the idea of the existence of God. This make her distress when Gray told her God won't accept her oath with Zack and when Zack told her he believes God does not exist in the world. Her desperation in needing a God she believes made her so delusional that she saw Zack as her God. Only until Zack helped her accept her actions that she finally came to terms with her warped view and realized that her true wish was simply to be wanted by someone in life and death. Afterwards, Ray started to act like a normal person, particularly in regards to Zack who she developed a close bond with over time.
