Character listing and information
WARNING! Contains a bit of spoilers!
This is a small listing of the characters from Rain of Swords - Ninth Card; Incomplete so far, but hopefully will be completed soon.
Main Characters
Complete name: Ruu Der Redford Werz
Age: 19 when the series starts
First appearance: Prologue chapter one, page one
Sword: Kurochi-no-kami (Spirit of the Black Blood)
Fighting Style: Basic Garu's defensive style
Description: At first he always seems calm, happy and frankly, a bit weak, but when he draws his sword, things change. Could it be that he has a double personality case? Or is he just crazy for blood? What reason could change this cool guy to a would-be cold-blooded murderer?
Also, what is his relation to Benimaru? Why can he hear the voices of spirits? Why does trouble seem to follow him everywhere? Why does he wander around Real Audiencia? Many doubts that will be answered as time passes by!
Kathy
Complete name: Kathy Zenjin Long
Age: 15 when the series starts
First appearance: Prologue chapter two, page nineteen
Sword: Tai-chi ninja-style sword
Fighting Style: Balanced Tai-Chi Style and Clover Ninja style
Description: This korean girl shows up alone at the Manta Port, beats one of the strongest fighters around, steals his invitation to the Crimson Tournament of Charity and runs away. What could have motivated her to do this?
What's even more suspicious is that the only name she says and keeps on repeating is "Benimaru", and whenever she hears that name, her eyes shine on a strange way! What's she looking for in Real Audiencia? Time will tell.
She also doesn't seem to speak Spanish (the language of Real Audiencia) at all.

Description: The mastermind behind the Crimson Tournament of Charity; a rich, powerful and ambitious man with a past unknown and many enemies around: Benimaru decides to organize a fighting tournament to decide whom his heir shall be and, while at it, get rid of a few enemies.
Extremely confident in his abilities; impossible doesn't mean anything for him. He's always surrounded by his group, the Crimson Four, and by a mysterious ninja.
His past is a mistery too, yet it seems he has some connection to the Wandering boy and Kathy.
