Najenda

"Boss" is the head of the assassin's group Night Raid, her real name is "Najenda". Taciturn, sharp-minded and level-headed, she leads the group with a surprisingly gentle but firm air. Her years of experience serving in the Empire as a general have made her a highly capable leader. Najenda is sometimes mistaken as a man due to her boyish appearance, even sometimes being nicknamed 'The Hunk of the Rebellion" by her cohorts. She tends to have a habit of telling "cold jokes" and making bad puns.

Bio
Najenda was once a General of the Empire who decided to defect after realizing how corrupt the current regime is. She was a colleague of Esdese, accompanying her on a past expedition for the Empire. At some point, Najenda lost her right arm and right eye, it is still unknown how she lost them, but it is hinted that Esdese may have been responsible for this. Apparently she was able to convince Akame to switch sides after failing to kill her.

Equipment & skills
Najenda's fighting skills are still relatively unknown. She once demonstrated on Leone her ability to fire her prosthetic hand and reel it back in. She is the current user of the human Teigu, Susanoo. Until her arrival at HQ, Susanoo was in a state of dormancy, and began to react to her presence. Susanoo tells the members of Night Raid that it was because Najenda resembles his previous master, who was a great general(who was male). It is later hinted at that she might have been the previous owner of Pumpkin during a flashblack.

Relationships

 * Rabac: Her old and loyal soldier, though she has never differentiated him from the rest of Night Raid (to Rabac's dismay) He's the only one to have known her before she lost her eye and arm.


 * Akame: Boss trusts her to the extent that she left her in charge when she left for the Revolutionary Army HQ. She was also willing to persuade her to join the Night Raid after her failed assassination attempt.
 * Tatsumi: She believes that Tatsumi holds great potential as an assassin. She is impressed by his set of virtues but believes that he is naive. After Braht's death she offers Tatsumi words of encouragement to soothe his guilt.
 * Esdese: It is hinted that Esdese was the one who took away Boss' right arm and eye. They were once colleagues in the Imperial Army, where she saw Esdese's cruelty firsthand, as well as the overwhelming power of her Teigu. She speculates that Demon's extract is the most powerful of all the Teigu.

Trivia
