~ Casca about Griffith |
Summary
Casca is the main heroine of the Berserk series. She's a former unit commander of the first Band of the Hawk serving under Griffith and a companion of Guts on his travel.
Formerly a callow peasant girl, she has joined Band of the Hawk after witnessing Griffith's charisma. Casca was a beneficial ally during the Hundred-Year War. After Guts' leaving of the Band and Griffith's incarceration, Casca has became their leader, proving to be a proficient leader and later rescued Griffith from the Tower of Rebirth with Guts' help. Crippled from his one year torture and fall into desperation and despair, Griffith eventually calls the Eclipse in which he sacrifices all of Casca's comrades to become Femto and rapes her right before Guts' eyes to spite him. After surviving the Eclipse, Casca's psyche had been scarred and she regressed into an mute amnesiac with child-like mentality. Guts' and his traveling party's main goal was to revert her broken mind to the original state, which ultimately succeeded.
