Ramlethal Valentine

As a Valentine, Ramlethal is devoid of emotions, having no conscience of her own. She doesn't grasp the concepts of right or wrong, like or dislike, and is unable to place any kind of value on anything other than her assigned target. She views the orders of her "Mother" as absolute, having a machine-like determination to see her mission completed. Unquestioning of her mother's directives, she views herself as a obedient "tool" to be used to achieve a goal, and believes herself to be disposable once she achieves her mission.

But like other Backyard life-forms, she inevitably starts learning emotions as she goes along. Ramlethal begins to become "unstable", showing confusion at Elphelt's rebellion, pride as a tool for her mother, and fondness for her magehound. Since tools don't need emotions, she denies having them, for her mother "only loves useful tools", which Sin interpreted as her being afraid of being abandoned if she didn't act like an emotionless machine. Yet, Ramlethal starts wondering about concepts like friendship, being "unique", others' motivations, what it feels to like someone, and happiness.

Her interactions with others lead Ramlethal to conclude that she nor Elphelt are tools, that emotions are important, and that her sister and Sin are "unique" to her. Even so, Ramlethal emotes little—having deadpan reactions to either pain or the antics of others—, and remains a rather quiet person. Nevertheless, she is bothered by others being treated coldly as "dolls", or tools
