Casca [Berserk.]

Prior to the events of the fifth Eclipse, Casca proves to be a determined and capable leader within the Band of the Falcon who merits the respect of her comrades in arms. So great is her leadership that she is able to rally the band behind her in their moment of utmost peril and prevent the complete annihilation of the fugitive band for a year following Griffith's imprisonment.

Even amid the Eclipse, Casca does not allow the band members to panic, commanding them to assume formation and contribute what they can. Casca's hardened appearance and austere attitude can be seen as "unfeminine", prompting Judeau's initial observation that she "gave up on being a woman in order to become a mercenary". In actuality, her womanhood forms an integral part of her identity; she wears men's clothing for its practicality in battle, rather than because of any inherent desire to do so on her part. Occasionally, her status as a woman is the source of her perturbation, though she masks such doubts with an exterior of sternness, lashing out with physical violence in moments of vulnerability. Beneath this guarded exterior, however, Casca yearns for acceptance as both a warrior and as a woman, which she originally desires from Griffith. She even slept with a wounded Guts for two days in order to warm him up following Griffith's orders, who added that "warming up a man is a woman's duty".
