Daphne Lauros (ダフネ・ラウロス) is a member of the Miach Familia and a former executive member of the Apollo Familia.
Appearance[]
Daphne is a beautiful young woman who exudes a strong aura. She has medium length dark hair, red in the anime, and sharp light yellow eyes, as well as a strong and cutting voice.
Personality[]
Daphne is a calm and collected person despite her looks. Direct and cutting when it comes to speaking, she is unwilling to waste time on unnecessary talk, so she tends to get to the point and finish her conversations quickly. She is quite frank and is not afraid to be honest even if it can be painful. She is also a very serious and no-nonsense person.
Despite her demeanor, she can be empathetic at times, as she showed some pity for Bell, who had caught the attention of her obsessive God. She is a responsible girl with a strong sense of duty, which makes her a loyal dependent who actively sought to capture Bell and defeat him in the War Game despite her distaste for Apollo and his actions.
Having sympathized with her due to both having been forcibly recruited into the Apollo Familia, Daphne became friends with Cassandra. She cares for Cassandra and constantly looks after her, although she doesn't believe her visions and dismisses them as dreams. She seems to dislike her shy attitude and occasionally hits her to shut her up.
Nevertheless, Daphne has a firm trust in her friend. She ultimately put her faith in Cassandra to save their group from the collapse of the 25th Floor by taking the option she suggested based on her dream, declaring that despite not believing in her visions she trusts her. Likewise, she is somewhat indulgent at times with her, such as when she went with Cassandra to Rivira so she could get a special dish.
She has mixed feelings for Apollo due to him taking care of her despite forcing her into his familia, stating that she was thankful, but hated him even more for that.
