This is a poster dedicated to Casca, a character from the anime and manga series, "Berserk." She is a former unit commander of the "Band of the Falcon" and an estranged companion of Guts. Originally a peasant girl living in a remote mountain village, she develops into a capable warrior upon joining the Band of the Falcon and aids greatly in the group's successes during the "Hundred Year War." Following Guts' departure and former leader Griffith's imprisonment, she is forced to assume the position of the band's leader. She succeeds in preventing the complete annihilation of the Band of the Falcon and rescuing Griffith from imprisonment. Crippled from his year-long torture and demoralized by his fall from grace, Griffith ultimately invokes the "Eclipse," in which he is reborn as the fifth demonic "God Hand" member, Femto, and violates Casca. Having physically survived the ordeal, she regresses into an infantile and largely mute state. In order to restore Casca's fragmented mind, Guts and his traveling party journey to "Elfhelm" to take part in the "Corridor of Dreams" ritual, and Casca is mostly restored to her prior mental state. In my opinion, it is one of the greatest stories ever told.
