John "Rico" Davis was born in 1926 and transformed into a Claymore in an unknown month in 1941. Rico is considered neither a successful nor unsuccessful Claymore made by Association. Her success is due to her sociopathy, manipulation techniques, and no remembrance of her past. Her lack of success is due to her psychopathy and ADHD.

## Appearance

Rico is a small, childlike girl due to the fact she retains the body of a 14-year-old. She has wide, blue eyes and light blonde hair in a messy short cut. When wearing a uniform, she retains it a mixture of a bit baggy and fitting. Her appearance was inspired by Rico from Gunslinger Girl.

In Tirpitz (Book 1 Chapter 9) she has bullet scars in her chest.

## Personality

In chapter 5 of book 1, Rico has written a letter to Julie. During this letter, Rico seems hyper. Julie describes Rico's voice as "annoying, chipper, and loud."

In chapter 6 of book 1, Charles Price reveals that she enjoys having her head pat.

In chapter 7 of book 1, Rico is shown to be ecstatic, unpredictable, immature, and showing signs of psychopathy, joking and having fun killing. She speaks with a foul mouth, and is told down from this by Waters, who implies Price does also.

In the final chapter of book 1, she appears to be easily irritated and prone to anger. This is because of Price's death.

## Role in Book 1

In chapter 5, Rico writes a letter to her Claymore "sister" Julie Martin to help convince Foley to send a squad to rescue Rico's captain and major, Charles Price and Gerald Ingram.

In chapter 7, the beginning of the British campaign in the book, Rico makes her first appearance, as does MacGregor and Waters. During the chapter, they capture the bridge, and Rico relishes in the killings. At the end of the chapter, she snuggles up to Price, who tells her a story about Pegasus, showing a paternal relationship between the two.

In chapter 8, she enjoyingly spends time by herself infiltrating the Eder Dam Facility, "playing" with corpses and dancing around the dam.

In chapter 9, she successfully blows up Battleship Tirpitz. Unfortunately, she watches the death of Captain Charles Price.

In chapter 13, she struggles to come to terms with Price's death and Waters' promotion to captain. She appears more irritated, and not happy with Waters promising to stay with her.

## Relationships

### Charles Price

Throughout the book, their relationship is shown as a father-daughter type one.

In chapter 5, Rico writes her sister to please save Price and Ingram, implying that the two are close. When Price first meets Julie, he mentions Rico talking about her. In chapter 7, he worries about her two separate times; when the plane crashes, and when the Germans counterattack. At the end, he tells her a story to help her sleep.

In chapter 9, she watches him die. After this, she seems to be more irritated and is less happy.

### Henry Waters

In chapter 7, Waters tells Rico to watch her language. Later in the chapter, he comments on her usage of Toujane. He seems to be critical of her, often speculating her mental state.

In chapter 13, he says he promised Price to stay by her side if anything ever happened to her. Rico dislikes this idea.

### Philip MacGregor

It's shown in chapter 7 that Rico and MacGregor have a slightly brother-sister relationship. They tease each other constantly throughout the chapter, with both insulting each other.

### Julie Martin

Rico trusts Julie enough to write her a letter asking for help in an important matter. During this letter, Rico seems hyper. Julie describes Rico's voice as "annoying, chipper, and loud," but still talks to Foley about Rico's request. Julie shows a slight jealousy of Rico, saying that she's more human than Julie herself is.
