Background / History
Rami was rescued by Obi-Wan after a shipwreck during the second year after he left the Dunhold Family. She had lost her memories and could not identify her family or homeland. Obi-Wan adopted her and spent years seeking treatment for her worsening illness. 13
After arriving at Tinos, Rami lived with Obi-Wan in a small wooden house. She cultivated a yard filled with flowers and plants despite her fragile health. Exposure to the sea quickly caused her to develop a fever, illustrating how seriously ill she already was. 13
Aeneas immediately sympathized with Rami and accepted Obi-Wan’s suggestion that he become her older brother. Their relationship developed into a close sibling bond, with Rami supporting his training and Aeneas becoming protective of her health. 13 15
Rami’s condition was eventually identified as Amber Lead Syndrome, a fatal disease associated with Flevance. Aeneas recognized her as likely being a survivor of Flevance who had lost her memory during the war. Stephanie, a physician and Herbal Fruit user, attempted to treat her, but the illness continued to worsen. 16 30
While Obi-Wan and Stephanie searched for a cure, Rami was captured and used as bait to force Obi-Wan’s surrender. She was held by the Hunter Organization, whose members intended to exchange her for Obi-Wan. 29 30
Appearance
Rami is a small, frail girl with brown hair that gradually becomes pale or white as her illness worsens. She is usually described as pale, thin, and malnourished, although her bright eyes and gentle demeanor remain noticeable. During her captivity, her body develops extensive white patches and her appearance deteriorates severely. 13 45
- Physically weak and easily exhausted.
- Brown hair that later turns pale or gray.
- Pale complexion and large, bright eyes.
- White patches associated with Amber Lead Syndrome.
- Her apparent seizures and visible illness symptoms are partly fabricated to frighten guards. 45
Personality
Rami is gentle, polite, and affectionate. She addresses Aeneas respectfully when they first meet, then happily accepts him as her older brother. Despite her worsening condition, she remains emotionally warm and enjoys supporting Aeneas during his training. 13 15
She is also highly intelligent and observant. During her captivity, she recognizes that the guards fear her supposed illness and deliberately encourages their belief that she is contagious. Her physical weakness is genuine, but many of her seizures and attacks are carefully staged. 45
Rami possesses considerable courage and determination. Rather than waiting helplessly for rescue, she creates her own escape plan and leaves her cell after fatally injuring a guard with a heated iron plate. Her primary goal is to find and rescue Obi-Wan and Aeneas. 45

Story Role / Major Arcs
Arrival at Tinos
Rami is introduced as a shipwreck survivor rescued by Obi-Wan. Her illness and memory loss establish her as a vulnerable but important member of Obi-Wan’s household. Meeting her also leads Aeneas to accept the role of her older brother. 12 13
Life with Aeneas
While Aeneas trains under Obi-Wan, Rami supports him emotionally despite being too sick to participate physically. Their relationship becomes one of the main foundations of Aeneas’s attachment to Tinos and his adopted family. 15
Search for a Cure
Rami’s worsening condition motivates Obi-Wan’s voyages with Stephanie and his search for medicinal herbs. Her eventual diagnosis as an Amber Lead Syndrome survivor turns her illness into a life-or-death crisis. 16 30
Capture and Rescue Plan
The Hunter Organization captures Rami to lure out Obi-Wan. Scusen’s group creates a three-part rescue operation involving Obi-Wan’s surrender, an underground assault, and a public diversion during the Round Street Slaughter. 30 31
Self-Rescue Operation
When the rescue plan begins to fail, Rami acts independently. She manipulates the guards into believing that she has died, escapes from her cell, kills the guard carrying her, steals his keys, and sets out to locate Obi-Wan and Aeneas. 45
Notable Quotes

Trivia
- Rami’s flower-filled yard suggests a nurturing and patient side despite her illness. 13

- Her apparent contagious symptoms are largely a long-running deception, although her physical decline and white patches are real. 45
- Aeneas identifies her illness through his knowledge of Trafalgar Law and Flevance’s history. 30
