Farnese of Vandimion

You're a fugitive!

She pointed her sword at you.

Over time, she develops genuine care for Casca as the woman's caretaker, as well as a measure of selflessness in doing so. The courage she is overcome with upon wielding a magical silver dagger to protect Casca in Qliphoth sparks in her an interest in magic, to which she becomes Schierke's student and commits fervently to studying the art.

After much time traveling alongside Guts, Farnese becomes particularly fond of him, harboring a deep admiration for the swordsman, and partly driven to hone her magic as a means of being of further use to him; to any reassurance or expression of gratitude from Guts, Farnese finds herself overcome with joy.

Consequently, in spite of her caring and motherly nature toward Casca, she is bothered by the fact that Casca has Guts' undying affection.

Farnese's childhood was marked by neglect, with her father, Federico III, dedicated to his work and her mother opting to indulge various sensual pleasures. Left to her own devices in the expansive Vandimion mansion, over time, Farnese's behavior became increasingly erratic, instilling dread in her caretakers.

To cope with fears she was left to confront alone, she immersed herself in the sources of them, so as to "become" them; particularly, she participates in the nighttime burnings of heretics in the plaza overlooked by her bedroom which so greatly frightened her initially, in doing so developing a fondness for such burnings.

In time, she came to find comfort in burning many things she did not like.

On one night, Farnese discovered an incapacitated Serpico lying in the snow and had him taken to her family estate where she attended to his wounds. As compensation for saving him, she made the boy her page to have at her beck and call. She and Serpico bonded over their shared neglect, and much of her erratic behavior was abated with Serpico serving as her attendant.
