Profile[]
As Raphael fled from the aristocracy where all around had turned on him, Amy appeared and saved his life. Considering he had never had a shred of trust for other human beings, her compassion was a sort of revelation. It would almost be an understatement to say that since that time, he has only lived for her. He gave her this rapier; its name means “the shining one,” a perfect expression of his feelings for her.
Soulcalibur VI[]
- "A rapier names after the Latin word for "white," the reasons for which have been lost to history. Small and especially light, it was made to be wielded by those without great strength, and designed to deal heavy damage by maintaining the momentum of calculated, precise attacks. The guard of the sword is uniquely shaped, and while it can be used for both offense and defense, it would require great skill from its wielder to do so."

Profile[]
The Albion is given to Amy by Raphael and is nicknamed "The Radiant One".
When Raphael was betrayed and cornered by his own kind, it was Amy that came to his rescue, and from that day forward, his entire life changed. Amy became both his symbol of hope and the one person in the world he lived for.
When Amy had mastered the sword arts from Raphael's lessons, he gave her a rapier as a gift. It was slightly smaller than usual, having been specially made just for her, and light enough that little physical strength was required to wield it effectively.
Amy had always accepted as truth the idea that despair comes from having hope, but if the time ever came in which she needed to embark in search of a light within the darkness, she now had her own symbol of hope: Albion, the sword from her adoptive father and mentor.
Trivia[]
