Gagaran

Gagaran (ガガーラン) is an adamantite ranked adventurer and a warrior from Blue Roses.

Appearance
Many times she was mistaken for a man, Gagaran is an extremely muscular woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes. She is rarely seen without heavy crimson plate armor and her mighty war pick. On her head rests a silver tiara, likely enchanted.

Personality
More than her strength, she emits a profound atmosphere of reliability, almost a "big brother" feeling that makes her extremely appreciated in the team. She has the highest respect and desire to help other people of the members of Blue Rose.

Unlike most humans, Garagan holds no prejudice against non- or demi-humans; she has even professed disgust at the Slane Theocracy's practice of exterminating whole communities of other races. However, Gagaran has no inhibition when it comes to fighting and killing dangerous non-humans who have proven themselves a menace.

A proclaimed hobby of hers is picking "fresh cherries", referring to young, virgin men. Whenever such men affirm sex with her would be enjoyable, even in jest, Gagaran would immediately overpower and drag them into a room with her. This is a fate Climb often has to avoid.

Background
Gagaran has a self-anointed nickname of "Lovely Warrior Full of Mystery" which stems from her past before joining Blue Roses, a mysterious period she does not like to talk about even with her friends. She saved the then would-be adventurer Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, which led her to become one of the initial members of Blue Rose. She lost to Gazef Stronoff during the Grand Tournament held to decide the King's bodyguard.

Gagaran had fought numerous battles with the Sunlight Scripture. During those encounters, she developed a distaste for the religious fanatics, due to their cold-hearted nature in slaughtering innocent demi-humans.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
and The Men in the Kingdom II Arc Gagaran refused to accompany Lakyus to visit Princess Renner due to her dislike of formal events. She and Evileye decided to go to one of the highest class inns in the Kingdom. She saw Climb and they have a conversation with him. They talked about Martial Arts, magic and the new adamantite adventurer team, Darkness with Climb. She then encouraged Climb to work towards his goal of being a better bodyguard for the Princess.

She later joined in the operation to attack several bases belonging to Eight Fingers alongside the rest of her party. Before heading out, she talked to Brain, possibly to see if he was trustworthy enough to protect Climb, who was heading with the famed swordsman to another location. Amidst that, she encountered a monster dressed like a maid who was eating human flesh. After a short conversation, Gagaran realized that the maid could endanger civilians and attacked. She was easily subdued but was saved by the intervention of Tia.

Despite support from Tia, the two adventurers tried to defeat the monster but failed. Before they could be eaten, Evileye intervened, and with the magic caster's help, they finally defeated the insect maid. As they attempt to finish her off however, another monster arrived and interrupted them. Evileye immediately told Gagaran and Tia to flee while she held the demon off. Prior to the two getting far, the demon summoned black flames which killed them instantly. Their bodies were later recovered by Evileye, with the help of Darkness. She and Tia were resurrected but were urged to stay out of the next battle because of their depleted strength.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
In a conversation between Renner and Blue Roses, it is known that Lakyus is helping Gagaran and Tia to recover the experience they lost when they got killed by Jaldabaoth by constantly placing themselves in danger.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
She was present at the meeting with the delegates from the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army along with the other members of Blue Rose. During the meeting, Tia and Tina made fun of her huge physique, much to her annoyance. While so, she borrowed a flask of water from Neia Baraja to pour a drink for her companions present in the meeting. Later, when Paladin Order Grandmaster Remedios tried to recruit Blue Roses to their cause by saying that all they need to do is wait in the rear and help with healing magic, Gagaran was the first to call them out for their bullshit. She reason for that was because the envoys don't have the luxury of doing that in the first place. When Gagaran was told by Tia that the statement said by one of the envoys with the name Gustav to be true, she felt dumbfounded to hear her companion actually trust and believe that paladin's words at face value.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
When Blue Roses was invited to a meeting location by someone unbeknownst to them, Lakyus suggested that that there isn't any need for all of them to participate together. Because Lakyus is meeting up with her uncle Azuth Aindra, Gagaran shows her understanding of why Lakyus did not want to invite them into the meeting, saying that there must have been a lot for the two of them as family members to discuss in private. Nonetheless, this didn't stop Gagaran and the rest of Blue Roses from joining their leader in the secret meeting arranged by their unknown client. She was concern whether the Black Scriptures have resort to violence or threats in recruiting almost all the adventurers in the Kingdom to join the Theocracy to which the latter said they did not.

When the capital Re-Estize is already surrounded by the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces, Gagaran and the rest of the members from Blue Roses met up with Renner, Climb, and Brain in the palace. Once Evileye suggests Lakyus that they have enough time to drink some cup of tea together, Gagaran was forced to follow along with her ploy. While Gagaran states that she wants to drink a large amount of ten liter liquid, this made Lakyus believe that they are looking to simply drink Renner's tea out of kindness for the princess who offered it to them. With Lakyus not equipped with any combat-related gear and successfully drugged, she with Tia immediately spring into action and start repeatedly throwing heavy punches at her leader.

While Lakyus is weakened by whatever effect the drug has on her, she and Tia continues punching their leader aggressively until the latter was weak enough to be put under control by Evileye's spell, [Charm Person]. Under Evileye's order, Gagaran open the window and let some air into the room to contain the smell of Lakyus' blood from spreading. Once Lakyus heals herself and Tina returns, she and other members of Blue Roses left to help their leader retrieve her equipment in the inn before proceeding to teleport away from the Royal Capital.

Mass for the Dead Arc
While having a meal at a local bar with Tia, Gagaran notices Zero and Peshurian pass by. When learning about their shady past and how they were seemingly turning over a new leaf from Tia, Gagaran found it ironic as the Tia could relate. Later at Princess Renner and Lakyus's orders, the adventurer shadowed Climb in the refugee camps near the Royal Capital. When the bodyguard was about to be mugged by thieves she stepped in and saved him. Together they brought the thieves in to the proper authorities.

Gagaran later attended a meeting at the palace with Lakyus and Evileye. There, with the exception of the Evileye, the members of Blue Roses spoke with Princess Renner. The topics the three women discussed were over the changes in the world such as the Cracks, Chaos Beasts, and Contaminated Beasts that were plaguing the three nations and the culmination of the Tripartite Alliance. Though hopeful that the three nations were cooperating with each other in these dangerous times, she knew that there was a lot of work to be done. As the meeting progress Gagaran feeling bored decided to stretch her legs and bother Evileye who was in the library. The big woman dragged her magic caster friend out to grab a drink, but not before finding Climb and having a brief spar with him. Later at a bar she met with Brain and tried to flirt with him but was politely turned down but they shared a gregarious time with each other. Once she and Evileye finished their drinks they were back to the palace, where Lakyus, Tina and Tia were waiting to inform them of their new job from the Kingdom which involved eliminating monsters from a mine.

The mine being near E-Rantel, gave Gagaran the opportunity to observe the recovering city. Before they took on the princess's mission, Gagaran tagged along on a personal task of Lakyus. This was prompted, when a couple of adventurers from the Swords of Darkness mentioned about the possible location of the sword Hyumilis, Lakyus eagerly wanted to know more about the details. After learning about the sword's whereabouts, Lakyus claimed to the silver ranked adventurers that it was dangerous as the sword was cursed which Gagaran vouched for her to be true. Despite the warnings of the adamantite adventurers the Swords of Darkness came with them. The adventurers followed the trail and found the sword but it turned out to be just a item that was infested with a monster.

Gagaran would participate in a large scale monster subjugation assignment from the royal family to clean out an abandoned mine. Blues Roses along side the protagonist and Slimeko journeyed into the caverns to find it not just filled with monsters but also demons. More strangely the entire layout of the mine was altered leading the adventurers to suspect something dark was afoot. From the evidence left behind the adventurers deduced that some sort for demonic summoning happened and the demons turned on their masters. Rather than retreat the adventurers insisted on pressing on to eliminate the threat. Gagaran soon reached the deepest part of the mine and came face to face with Abyss Demon who was powered by magic making him near invulnerable. Despite the odds the adventurers defeated him, but as the demon lay dying he triggered a mechanism that caused the mine to be filled with poison gas. Forced to retreat Blue Roses escaped the mine disappointed that they were unable to acquire the mine for the Kingdom.

Gagaran and her team would encounter the protagonist, Surako and Soi when the two adventurer teams worked together at the request of Princess Renner to find the cause of the string of kidnappings in E-Rantel. The teams worked together to organize a sting operation using Suarko as bait which led to the capture of a suspect that Gagarn then brought to the authorities. The man confessed about Zurrernorn to be behind the kidnappings, leading the adventurers to the E-Rantel's Cemetery where they found Six Arms to be working for Khajiit Dale Badantel. In the ensuing fight, Gagaran defeated Malmvist. In the end the adventurers defeated the cultists and arrested all of the members of Six Arms save for one.

With only one member of Six Arms still at large, Gagaran worked with her team to locate Zero before the criminal could cause an incident during the conference of the Tripartite Alliance. Blue Roses were unable to find any trace of him, making Gagaran ask where he could be. When a horde of Chaos Beasts threw the city into a panic, Gagaran joined in the defense of the city to protect the residents whilst the protagonist and his team engaged the leader of the horde.

On a mission to acquire much needed armors and weapons from a dwarf named Tsuibayaya, Gagaran's team met with the protagonist, Suarko and their comrade Narberal Gamma who were also looking for the dwarf. Since they were looking for the same being the two teams decided to collaborate. Their search took them to the beach near the village where the dwarf lived. They found the dwarf but to her annoyance the dwarf refused to help them until he acquired the scales of the Legendary Mermaid for his masterpiece. The adventurers ultimately decided to seek the mermaid for him and in exchange the dwarf loaned several sets of swimsuits to Blue Roses save for Gagaran as he had none to give her. Following the clues to the local legend the adventurers determined who and where to summon the mermaid. The Legendary Mermaid as it turned out was a male an a hermit that was confused as why they wanted his scales but agreed to give them unless they battled him. Gagaran immediately accepted the challenge to her comrades dismay. After the demi-human was defeated, the merman gifted his scales to Gagaran thanking for the battle and also reminding him of his long gone lover. With the scales, Tsuibayaya used them to create the Sage's Swimsuit which he offered Gagaran to wear as he deemed her the best model for his work. Though he results were mixed by her friends, Tsuibayaya was overwhelmed by the fulfillment of his work that he gave the item to her.

On another assignment by King Ramposa III, she and her team worked with the protagonist in locating a missing Gazef Stronoff. The two teams tracked Gazef's last whereabouts to a remote cave in the north. There they had to fight against two Spear Chaos Beasts that guarded the entrance. Only by working together and with the aid of Brain Unglaus were the adventurers able to vanquish them. Once the entrance was opened, Gagaran and her team stood guard outside while the protagonist led his team into the dark to search for the Warrior Captain.

When the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and his minions began to ransack E-Rantel, Gagaran and Blue Roses rose to fight them off. In the battle her team caught the attention of the Demons Maids with Lupusregina Beta coming to face her. She and her comrades were too far away to help a hostage Emperor Jircniv but saw the person who appeared to be the protagonist save the Baharuth emperor. She was among the people in the crowd that celebrated protagonist's victory over Jaldabaoth.

Once the construction of the new section of E-Rantel was complete, repairs to the city were still proceeding in the aftermath of the demons' attack. To raise the morale of the resident and recruit more adventurers in the Kingdom, Gagaran's team answered the protagonist's invitation to participate in an adventurer tournament. A day before the start of the tournament, she met with the protagonist and Suarko to give thanks at the city square. There she hoped that the Buddha was smiling down upon them. Gagaran fought in the first exhibition match against her teammates Tina and Tia, which led to her victory. Though she defeated the twins the duo claimed that they were going easy on her out of respect to Lakyus. In the tournament Gagaran grew interested in the two newcomers Shall and Ku. She would later join her team in fighting the pair in the seventh match and later fought the "Dark Warrior" as part of the finale of the event.

Gagaran would join her team and the protagonist in investigating Re-Blumrushur to see if Marquis Blumrush was responsible for a string of disappearances of brides seeking to answer his solicitation to be his wife. Gagaran and the others busied themselves in collecting testimonies from the victim's families. Gagaran and the others would be approached by a desperate soldier seeking aid to eliminate undead that infested the mine near the city. Though the adventurers had priorities, the protagonist convinced them to help since could. The undead appearing in the mine turned out to be related to their investigation as they found that the undead were amassing due to the remnants of Zurrernorn conducting their rituals using the captured brides as sacrifices which utterly disgusted Gagaran. The adventurers killed the cultists and later found Evil Lord Greed at the scene. Since he was present it led the members of Blue Roses to believe that Blumrush was associating himself with the Demon Emperor. After the mine collapsed, Gagaran and her friends enjoyed their victory and also found began teasing Evileye on how cute she looked in her bridal gown.

Some weeks after the protagonist saved the city, Gagaran was with Blue Roses at the cave where they saved Gazef Stronoff. She worked with the members of the Royal Army and E-Rantel Magic Research Institute in setting up a cordon to prevent Chaos Beasts from leaving the underground cave network.

Gagaran and her friends were away from E-Rant, to fulfill a job to bring back a noble’s son from a gambling hall. Lakyus and Evileye had to wear bunny girl costumes to infiltrate the hall, though the former needed to wield a gavel as part of her uniform. To help her friend correctly wield the unfamiliar weapon, Gagaran gave her pointers when they practiced against some Chaos Beasts.

The warrior found the mission to be boring as she was stuck outside the hall to keep a lookout and thus missed out all the action inside. When the we’re heading back to E-Rangel via carriage she and her friends got in contacted by Princess Renner who informed them that the protagonist found a group of fakes that were posing as them in the city. Gagaran was annoyed that imposters were taking their identities though was surprised that the fakes could pass as them.

During the minor epidemic in E-Rantel, Gagaran was out making preparations, thus unable to assist Lakyus and Evileye in scouting the city for signs of the disease among the orphans.

The Adventurer's Guild at the recommendations of the protagonist began a new doll series to sell alongside the Sorcerer Kingdom's chocolates. Said doll series was based on the adventurer team Blue Roses, with Gagaran's doll the first to be released.

In one particular instance, Gagaran hearing a commotion in the city square of E-Rantel, found a strange flirtatious young man with Saint Clementine. When he caught sight of her he complimented on her beauty, causing the adamantite adventurer to be taken with him. After learning that the boy was a virgin, she invited him for a time at an inn. Though date was cancelled after three of the young female acquaintances arrived with Darkness in tow. From her fellow peers she learned that the young man was suffering from some kind of effect from a special tonic. Thinking that the boy was intoxicated, Gagaran accepted their explanation, disappointed at losing a suitor.

While having a meal at an inn in the Royal Capital with her team, Gagaran hoped to participate in the upcoming E-Rantel's Harvest Festival. Gagaran and Lakyus were assigned as escorts to Princess Renner, whilst the other members of the team acted out lookouts in the crowd during the festivities.

When it was discovered that the remnants of Zurrernorn were up to something in E-Rantel, Gagaran went with her team to investigate the sewers at the Sewage Treatment Plant, as there was a hidden room located in the tunnels. They found nothing at the room as it was unused, but they made their way to the central sewar chamber to find the magic casters pouring some kind of strange medicine into the water tank. Upon being discovered by the cultists, it was revealed that the members of Zurrernorn created a substance extracted from miasma to create a special Super Giant Sanitary Slime named Birth Slime to fulfill the Death Spiral. After the cultists gave their lives to feed the slime who used its Negative Energy to raise them as undead, the adventurers were forced to retreated from the sewers due to the slime being took quick and having the home field advantage. The slime would have escaped the sewers and invaded the surface had it not been for Soi who used a vial of anti-slime agent made by the E-Rantel Magic Research Institute to drive the monster back into the sewers.

Once the adventurers knew what they were up against, a plan was prepared to herd the slime in the sewers, using the agent and to keep the public from knowing. Since the agent potentially could dissolve regular equipment, and the watery environment of the sewers, swimsuits were required for the operation. Gagaran declined to participate in the operation as her own swimsuit was destroyed in a previous mission, and she had not worked up the courage to ask its creator for another one. Thus Clementine assumed her place along with Blue Roses and Soi to fight the slime. In the duration, Gagaran guarded the surface to coordinate with the protagonist and Surako.

Gagaran and her team stood at the defense E-Rantel again when it was beset by emerging Cracks, bringing hordes of Chaos Beasts. Though Gagaran believed that the team should retreat from E-Rantel, as it seemed to be a lost cause, Lakyus refused to abandon it. The pair were soon met by an invisible enemy. Sensing danger Gagaran pushed Lakyus aside as the latter was the a member of Blue Roses that they could not afford to lose. In doing so Gagaran hit by a magical burst of energy to the horror of Lakyus.

Later it is revealed that Gagaran was killed, but later revived by Lakyus after the disaster. Gagaran and Blue Roses participated in a mission requested by Prince Zanac to retrieve his sister Princess Renner who was reported to be in Carne Village where she set up a refugee camp. Her team arrived to find the camp destroyed and the elite warriors previously sent by the prince all dead. Not only that the adventurers found evidence that Renner committed suicide when the camp was attacked by Contaminated Beasts. They brought this news to the prince who ordered the truth to be suppressed to avoid having the king and the people suffer from the news. Later at the Festival of the Restoration of E-Rantel, Gagaran was seen with her team doing charity work, giving out food.

She along with Blue Roses joined the Four Kingdoms Rescue Team led by the returned Gazef Stronoff aimed to rescue a hundred people from the "other side" of the Crack. During the rally, Gagaran complained of wanting to head out into the Crack, causing her to be reproached by Evileye. In return the warrior teased the magic caster of her motivation for joining the expedition was to save Climb.

Equipped with the adaptive equipment, she and the united army braved the dangers of the Chaos Zone and bore witness to Gazef displaying his newfound strength since being cured by the contamination. After the army retreated out of the Crack, Gagaran let out a massive sigh of relief of not dying again.

Later the rescue team rushed back to E-Rantel after receiving word from the Sorcerer Kingdom that enormous amounts of miasma were spilling in from Cracks in every major city in the Tripartite Alliance. Since their unit was the only military force in the area, the joint international force hurried to the alliance's capital to save what they could.

At E-Rantel, Gagaran scouted the city with Tina, Soi and Gagaran and reported to the rescue team that not all the populace were turned into contaminated and that there were still people who could be saved. Gagaran noted that aside from avoiding the miasma throughout the city, it would be faster for a single person to navigate and repel the contaminated.

Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra
As fellow adamantite adventurers of Blue Roses, they have a close relationship with each other. She's the member of the team that knows her longest, as well as the one who saved her when she started her adventurer's travel. That event led her to become one of the founding members of Blue Roses.

Due to the time they spent together adventuring, Gagaran has developed a strong enough friendship to Lakyus to the point that she trusts her unconditionally, as seen where she would follow Lakyus's decisions without question and help her in whatever quest or problems she gets them into.

This was further shown during the Fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom, where Gagaran willingly followed Lakyus's decision not to run and refused the Black Scripture and Azuth Aindra's offer to flee to safety despite the incredibly low chances of either of them even surviving the battle against the Sorcerer Kingdom.

Later Gagaran's care for Lakyus's welfare is seen during their scheme to forcibly escape the Capital of Re-Estize with her by force due to deeming that Lakyus's life was far more important than saving a failing/corrupted Kingdom. Due to her strong care for Lakyus, Gagaran was even shown to resort to extremely violent methods to escape with her, as seen where she was more than willing to forcibly beat Lakyus's to weaken her enough for Evileye's [Charm Person] spell to finally work on her in order to escape with her.

Evileye
As fellow adamantite adventurers of Blue Roses, they have a close relationship with each other. Gagaran calls her "Our Shorty" as a teasing nickname for her and Evileye calls her "Mass of Muscle."

Tia
As fellow adamantite adventurers of Blue Roses, they have a close relationship with each other.

Tina
As fellow adamantite adventurers of Blue Roses, they have a close relationship with each other.

Climb
Gagaran has a teasing relationship with Climb, calling him "Cherry Boy." She taught Climb the martial art, "High Vertical Strike." She also gave Climb a set of small magic handbells, "Bell of Detect Secret Doors," "Bell of Open Lock" and "Bell of Remove Trap."

Brain Unglaus
She casually flirted with the rival of the Warrior Captain, but he politely turned her down.

Slane Theocracy
Gagran is shown to actively hate and dislike the Slane Theocracy due to their extremist belief in human superiority and their willingness to commit genocidal mass murder on innocent Demi-Human races,villages and encampments without mercy or remorse.

Black Scripture
When four members of the Black Scripture came and offered Gagaran the offer to escape to the Theocracy, Gagaran immediately followed Lakyu's choice of rejecting their offer. Likely due to her own personal dislike for the Theocracy and their beliefs.

Sunlight Scripture
Gagaran was noted to have battled against the Sunlight Scripture together with her Teammates during one of their many demi-human purge operations. Gagaran in particular deterred their attempts to slaughter a Demi-Human village and later expressed bitter distaste for them upon recalling the memory.

Trivia

 * She has a preference for young virgin men.
 * Osk's ideal partner happens to be Gagaran.
 * Due to her Air Rider Job Class, there is a theory that she might have originated from the Wyvern Rider Tribes.

 * (To Evileye concerning the Sunlight Scripture): "What? So it's okay for them to kill innocent elves and demi-humans?"

 * (To Climb): "And that's why you’re still a virgin. Didn't you hear that it's disgraceful for a man to refuse a meal that's been laid out in front of him? Why are you still carrying it around like it's something good? What're you going to do when you actually do it with a girl that you like? Do you want to be told that you're clumsy? Is that what you're into? Are you an M?"
 * (To Climb): "Nothing much, I just wanted to feel up the cherry boy's ass some more."

 * (To one of the twins): "Hey! Is it me or have you gotten full of yourself since you went training with me? Oi!"
 * (To one of the twins about Jaldabaoth): "Still, just waiting there to die is very frustrating. The next time that monster comes to the Kingdom, I want to make him weep with my own two hands. In order to do that, I need to learn as much as I can about him."
 * (To the 5th Seat of the Black Scripture about Lakyus): "No need for ‘I’...we will go with the leader’s decision."
