Carly (カーリ Kāri) is a member of Tartarus Lapse.
Appearance[]
Carly has a short stature. She is seen wearing a white shirt with frilly collars, and a knee-length blue skirt. Her brown hair is tied with pigtails to her sides. Animal ears are also located on top of her head, indicating her beast man status.
She was a little girl not even a hundred and fifty centimeters in height. She looked to be in her mid-teens. Because she was wearing a white shirt and a suspender skirt, she looked very much like an elementary schooler attending a noted academy. Her face, too, seemed young and frail. Her big almond eyes were adorable, but her general appearance did not stand out. It did not, save one thing—the large, beast-like ears springing from her head.[1]
Personality[]
She felt no guilt about killing people whatsoever. For the first time since birth, her existence had meaning—in assassinating for this group. Carly had no interest in Tartarus Lapse’s aims. Nor did she bear any grudge against Demon Sanctuaries. Carly killed people, for no reason save to make December happy. She kept on sniping, to prove she belonged at December’s side.[2]
History[]
Carly—the Tartarus Lapse sniper—was a beast person but an exceptionally weak one at that. She had neither a perfect human form, nor was she able to transform into a beast. No matter how long she grew her hair, it was impossible to hide her large, puppylike beast ears. Her upper-body strength and agility were around three to five times that of a normal person. As beast people went, it was the very bottom of the scale. It wasn’t particularly rare for an ordinary human male who’d done bodybuilding to a certain degree to bench press in Carly’s league. On top of having such a frail physique, Carly had been subjected to harsh abuse from a very young age. She was criticized as incapable and showered with physical violence. Always, in human and demon society both, she was exceptionally alone. Even when she arrived at a Demon Sanctuary, nothing about her environment changed. Abandoned by both of her birth parents, suffering from hunger, Carly was simply waiting for the cold to grant her a frigid death—and then, December came for her. So she became a member of Tartarus Lapse, and she learned how to snipe from Senga.[2]

Abilities[]
Has an excellent ability on shooting targets at long range.
Ironically, because of her physique, she had heaven-sent talent as a sniper. The arm strength to withstand a powerful anti-materiel rifle’s recoil, the delicate fingers to manipulate a human weapon—Carly, this so-called weak and frail beast girl, had a perfect individual balance of these two elements. Also, her senses of hearing, smell, and night vision were excellent, even by beast-person standards. As a sniper, she was a potent weapon. At some point, Carly surpassed even Senga to become Tartarus Lapse’s mightiest sniper.[2]
Carly’s superhuman senses allowed her to accurately detect moving cars at a range of nine hundred meters. The screeching of brakes. The footsteps of people.[1]
Carly had a weapon from a hip holster. This was a large-caliber automatic pistol—a sidearm for personal defense. Its bullets, bearing high penetration and suppressive power[2]
She has a black case for carrying a cello. However, its contents were not a musical instrument, but rather a large military rifle. It was a bullpup-style anti-materiel sniper rifle.[1]
Her acuity to movement, particular to beast people, allowed her to watch the bullet until the moment it sent her target’s skull flying.[1]

Trivia[]
- To Carly, that anti-materiel rifle was the symbol of her link with Tartarus Lapse. If she lost it, her connection to December would be severed, too.[2]
