Zorne Sepperin

"You're nothing but a pushover."

- Zorne Sepperin

Zorne Sepperin (RKS003 Drei) is a heroine from Rosenkreuzstilette who is the adopted daughter of Graf Michael Sepperin. She is voiced by Ayane Suzumura.

Appearance
Zorne is a girl with blue eyes and red hair held in twin-tails by red ribbons who has a large metal gauntlet in place of her left arm. In the first Rosenkreuzstilette game, she wears a light yellow short-sleeved shirt with a hood and the words "Slipknot" on its front, as well as a red skirt with a lacing and a silver cross on it, and she wears light yellow boots.

In Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel, she wears a semi-transparent pink shirt with a neckline hanging around her shoulders and wears a black vest over it that has the word "Slipknot" on its front as well, as well as the same red skirt and brown boots. Her gauntlet is also slightly adjusted.

Zorne also owns a black competition swimsuit with red linings that is very similar to Trauare's own competition swimsuit.

Personality
Zorne is a short-tempered, impulsive and moody young girl who doesn't know the meaning of restraint. She is a pyromaniac as well as, unsurprisingly, a terrible cook, seeing how her cooking skills end up being quite disastrous. She tends to only listen to reason when she's humiliated both physically and emotionally.

Graf Michael Sepperin
Despite the absence of blood ties, Zorne admires Graf Sepperin deeply, to the point of regarding her as her real father. When Sepperin tells her what to do, she complies with his words, saying that his word is absolute. She will do anything to fight for his sake. In the doujinshi Tearis, her love for her father is what causes her to vow vengeance against Iris for making her suffer by killing her adoptive father.

Trauare Wrede
Trauare Wrede is a good friend of Zorne's, who often invites her to join her in a nearby ravine in their spare time. She serves as a calming influence on her, and the two both have competition swimsuits as well. Zorne will go berserk on anyone who messes with Trau, especially if she mistakes them for having "brainwashed" her. Assuming that one of the two close friends hasn't been defeated yet, the two can even call one another for combination attacks that they can perform together.

Iris Sepperin
While Iris is the Graf's biological daughter, Zorne refuses to get along with her, saying that she disgusts her and that she couldn't care less about her, either. Iris uses that fact as a means of making her suffer by killing Sepperin, whom she as been desperately yearning to someday accept her as his real daughter. In Tearis, this means that Zorne cannot forgive Iris for doing so, and she therefore vows to make her pay for it.

Abilities
Zorne's ability, Zornesbombe, allows her to create bombs that explode in a cross-shaped fashion, which is capable of obliterating brick walls. She can also cling to walls and dive at her opponents with her gauntlet, and can even cause fire to erupt from the floor upon contact when her health runs low.

Pre-Trauare Events
Zorne appeared before Spiritia Rosenberg, promising not to go easy on her for getting in her adoptive father's way, saying that any enemy of Sepperin was an enemy of her too. She knew that he liked her for being strong, and wished to prove that she could be the most useful of RKS's members to the Graf. Lilli called her an idiot, which caused her to fly into a rage. Tia calmed her down through humiliation by defeating her in battle, saying that if someone she loved strayed from the right path, then she could show them the way back as her job as family. Zorne decided to back off, telling Tia that their fight wasn't over by a long shot.

Post-Trauare Events
Should Trau be defeated before her, Zorne would get even more upset, vowing to take Tia down for it. Tia tried to convince her to calm down and listen to her, but she told her to shut up, accusing her of turning on her father and even brainwashing Trau. Tia knew she wouldn't do such a thing, but Zorne said she had faith in Sepperin and that she wouldn't lose to her. Zorne lost anyway, wondering why she couldn't do anything when it really counted. Tia reminded her that, if someone she loved strayed from the right path, it was her job as family to show them the way back. Zorne complimented Tia for being really strong and finally understood what Trau was trying to say. She told Tia to do what she wanted, promising that she wouldn't get in her way anymore.

After both events, Zorne was among those supported Tia in her final battle with Iris, and they happily reunited upon Tia's return.
