Overview: Garou is mostly silent and solitary, keeping to herself and simply doing her work. She will occasionally make a sarcastic comment, but will mostly be quiet. She's very very dedicated to her work, almost fatalistically so, but she does tend to flip out if someone mentions Pariah. She's also a little mad at how fragile she is, and works to train her body through fighting Horrors constantly. She's practically become a legend within the Makai Order, the Wolf Priestess, they call her.
Other Equipment:
- Her prosthetic fingers were designed by other Priests and, at her recommendation, were based on the designs of the Gouryuu. Her middle finger has a striker in the first knuckle, allowing her to ignite her prosthetic fingers with Madou Fire, as well as fire blasts of it with a finger-gun like motion. She also has a ring that can unleash a wave of kinetic force equivalent to 1.5 shotgun blasts point-blank.
- She has other gear as well, including a pair of Makai flags, a brush, seals and paper for making seals.

History
Garou doesn't remember her original name. She was an orphan raised in Kantai. She had no family and few friends, which made her lonely, but allowed her to focus more on her training to be a Priestess. She learned quickly, and befriended Keiji, a young man training to be a Knight. He began teaching her the fighting skills he learned from his teachers, and she learned to fight in addition to how to be a Priestess. When they were both 11, they were caught training together and reprimanded, the boy being sent away. Garou wasn't a fan, but she was in no position to protest.
When she finally was deemed good enough to go out into the world, she was dispatched to aid a Knight in the field, and found it was her old childhood sparring partner, Keiji. They worked together, and eventually began dating and fell in love. Garou became pregnant with his child, but then disaster struck.
They were out on a routine patrol when they were ambushed and taken. When they came to, their captor revealed himself as the Apostle Horror Pariah, and then proceeded to commit a number of atrocities on both of them. He first tortured Keiji to death, and then moved on to Garou, burning her eyes out and beginning to cut her fingers off before... something intervened. She passed out from the pain and woke up in a Makai Order refuge, with very little memory. She was named Garou by the man tending to her for reasons unknown, before she was sent back to Kantai. She received her prosthetic fingers, and insisted upon being trained in combat. At first, the Order resisted, but eventually they relented, setting her up to learn combat skills from Kantai's resident knight, DAN. She learned quickly, and soon was capable of fighting him to a draw. She had the Priests modify her fingers, and began going out to fight Horrors on her own, achieving a decent measure of success.
