Riful

Riful was an unranked warrior of Isley's generation (the first generation) and Claymore No. 1 of the first all-female generation. She was the youngest warrior in the Organization's annals to reach the pinnacle of her abilities and Awaken. She then became the Abyssal One of the West, also known as "Riful of the West" and "Empress Riful." She lived in the western region of Lautrec with her consort, Dauf.[1] In her awakened form, Riful had glowing, pupil-less red eyes and retained a feminine humanoid form, composed of green ribbon-like strips. Her lower body was an immense mass of such strips that vaguely resembled a ball gown. The strips themselves were incredibly resilient and capable of lashing out at high speeds to ensnare or impale her opponents. In this form, Rifel has also a gigantic and towering size, even dwarfing Dauf's awakened form. The humanoid portion of Riful's form was a deception, as her enemies would tend to attack that area in the assumption that her vital organs were located there. In actuality, that portion contained no vital areas whatsoever. In her human form, Riful appeared as an adolescent girl with long, dark brown hair. Riful almost always appeared whimsical and child-like, often acting polite and cheerful even when threatening someone with a torturous death. She also expresses hints of sadism in the torture of Claymores, but all for the purpose of making friends or mustering aid against enemies. From time to time, however, Riful would also exhibit anger, especially when she was fooled by Renee. When faced with imminent death, she even shed tears. Despite being tough on Dauf, Riful seemed to truly care for Dauf's well-being.

Riful is also quite perceptive and intelligent. She easily unpuzzles other's power level, skills, and talents.

As a Claymore many years ago, Riful was shown to retain many of her personality quirks as an awaken, albeit its been implied that she wasn’t malicious as her Awakened self. This is seen where her curiosity lead her to go to the meeting place of Isley, Rigardo and Dauf after hearing that the top three warriors were going to meet up with each other. Riful was also shown to be quite polite and like her awakened self, desired to make friends. As seen with her politely greeting Dauf upon first meeting him. Like her awakened self, she was also shown to be quite critical towards him, as shown when she refused Dauf’s request to hold her hand due to them being sweaty. As an Awakened Being (technically an Abyssal One), Riful's body consists of thousands of fleshy strips of ribbons. These ribbons are Riful's main form of offense and defense; sharp enough to pierce through most and durable enough to protect her from attacks, these ribbons are highly versatile in their use. In addition, Riful appears to be capable of controlling her size and retroactively relocate where her internal organs are located to protect herself from attacks. Most enemies will assume that the humanoid part of her Awakened form would ensconce her vital and weak parts but in reality, that area ultimately serves as a decoy and would contain nothing. Riful also possesses a talent for Yoki suppression and for the manipulation of her own Yoki. She was skilled at masking it, making it difficult for her presence to be detected. She could also manipulate it enough to be able to create a "false" Yoki Aura that had power equivalent to a regular Awakened Being to mislead others into believing that she was a weaker than she actually was. However despite her talent in concealing her own Aura, it was evident that Riful lacked the talent in manipulating the Aura's of others. Riful has also shown to be highly efficient in sensing and reading the Yoki Aura of others. This was seen where she could easily figure out the exact mechanics of Galatea's Yoki Manipulation Technique and Clare's Quicksword and figure out that Clare's right arm didn't originally belong to her. Riful was also shown to be able to easily analyze the mechanics between Alicia and Beth's Soul Link technique by sensing their Yoki. Riful also possessed exceptional intelligence and analytical abilities. Throughout the series, she repeatedly outsmarted The Organization and effortlessly outmaneuvered several Claymores.
