10. Berserk: The Golden Egg Arc - Caska
When Guts first encountered the Band of the Hawk, a mercenary group that raised him from a lonely teenager into a full-fledged adult, he ran into many colorful characters that helped him recover some sense of humanity he had lost long ago in his childhood. One of the most important people Guts met in the Band of the Hawk was their second in command, a woman named Caska.
Caska is continually underestimated by others for being a woman, but she nonetheless showed everyone throughout her adult life that she is not only a capable leader but also a spectacular sword wielder too. She is efficient on horseback, and even deadlier on foot, showing up her opponents in every fight she engages in.
The end of Caska's time with the Band of the Hawk destroyed her mentally, rendering her a shell of what she once was, but her legacy as an elite and loyal warrior will never be forgotten.
