Rafa Galthana
Orphaned by the Fifty Year War, Rafa was found and brought up by Grand Duke Barinten to be a member of his team of professional assassins known as the "Kamyuja." She later learned that the Grand Duke had burned her village to the ground in order to gain control of her unique skills, so she ran away from him and ran right into Ramza and company. She first joins your party as a guest in Chapter 3, after you save her from her brother Malak in Yardow Fort City. She leaves you to follow Malak at Riovanes Castle, but rejoins you as a full-time member after you save her from Elmdor and his Assassins at the end of the chapter.
On the battlefield, I didn't find much use for Rafa. Her Truth skills are horrible, so I switched her to another job class immediately. Her high Faith level makes her a natural magician, so stick her in a magic-using job class. As a fighter, she is terrible, so keep her in the magician's job hierarachy. I didn't use her too much after getting her, and once I got Orlandu and Beowulf, Rafa was done as far as battle usage. However, there is one spot where Rafa truly shines, and that is the Deep Dungeon. Her low Brave level makes her a great item finder, and Threatening her (Mediator's Talk Skill) will reduce her Brave level to around 10-15, where it is a virtual guarantee that she will get all the rare items.

I never really found much use for Rafa's Truth Ability set, due to the randomness of the effects and the large potential of hitting your own characters. The only good thing about these spells is that they ignore faith and do constant damage to every character. If you plan on using her, change her to a better job class immediately, as these skills just suck!
