Life, Rico from Gunslinger Girl

Every morning, when I wake up, the first thought I have is: “I wonder if I still have my body.” What a relief! It still works. I can't describe in words how wonderful it is to have a body that works. I love my life at the Social Welfare Agency very much.

- Rico (リコ), Gunslinger Girl, Chapter 2: Love Thy Neighbor

Cyborg, Henrietta

Is a girl with a mechanical body ordinary? I’m super strong and can kill a man with my bare hands. I do bleed, but the pain goes away fast. Since I’m a cyborg and have to protect Jose… I can’t be an ordinary girl.

- Henrietta (ヘンリエッタ) from Gunslinger Girl, Chapter 5: The Death of Elsa de Sica (Part 2)
