"Hmph! Go ahead and eat shit for the rest of your life!" - An Awakened Roxanne in her final stand, to an Awakened Cassandra. Roxanne was Claymore No. 1 of her generation, and one of the eight most powerful No. 1 warriors of all time. During her lifetime, she became known as "Roxanne of Love and Hate" due to her volatile relationships with fellow warriors, and, according to the Organization leaders, her troublesome behavior. Alongside Hysteria and Cassandra, she was resurrected by Dae to stop the uprising of the current Claymore generation against the Organization. Of the three, she is the only one who remembers her name and past.

Claymore
When a shapeshifting demon with a thirst for human flesh, known as "youma," arrives in Raki's village, a lone woman with silver eyes walks into town with only a sword upon her back. She is a "Claymore," a being manufactured as half-human and half-youma, for the express purpose of exterminating these monsters. After Raki's family is killed, the Claymore saves his life, but he is subsequently banished from his home. With nowhere else to go, Raki finds the Claymore, known as Clare, and decides to follow her on her journeys. As the pair travel from town to town, defeating youma along the way, more about Clare's organization and her fellow warriors comes to light. With every town cleansed and every demon destroyed, they come closer to the youma on which Clare has sought vengeance ever since she chose to become a Claymore.
