History Characters / PathToNowhereSloth

* MirrorCharacter: With her [[spoiler: fellow Garden member, Sumire.]]
** Both come from the same organization. [[spoiler: Both had the mission to kill the Chief, the director of the MBCC. However, in Sumire's case she decided from the beginning to not kill the Chief after seeing how they acted and how being around them led some of her symptoms to disappear, while it's implied Garofano went on her own accord to assassinate Chief when she came to the MBCC. However, just like Sumire, seeing Chief's personality and how the MBCC was like changed her mind.]]
** Both end up loving the Chief and wanting to protect them from harm. [[spoiler: Sumire is shown to be in love with the Chief with deep and sincere romantic love, while Garofano is more of the doting, seducing and possessive type for the Chief. Sumire stops assassins from the Garden and anyone else for the matter from killing the Chief and Garofano has no hesitation to kill almost anyone who try to take Chief away from her.]] [[spoiler:When Chief goes into coma during the Rustfire events, both go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for them as they go back to the Garden. While Sumire is overlooking the targets with patience and waiting for the right moment to strike, Garofano ends up being used by Segal and Parma due to her impatience and anger.]]
** The way Chief interacts with them. [[spoiler: They were cautious against Sumire due to knowing she was an assassin but not to Garofano because she played the innocent woman who didn't kill her husband stereotype. Only towards the end of their interrogation, their view towards them is reversed: Chief ends up trusting Sumire after seeing her sincerity and how self-sacrificing she is for them, while they hesitate to trust Garofano again because of her deceptions and being unable to tell if she's telling the truth or not anymore.]]

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Her brother-in-law, Braun's younger brother who is a gambling addict and dislikes Garofano for taking his brother's heart, or rather his attention and giving him money to spend on gambling. [[spoiler:He comes to attack her in her tailor shop for revenge on how he was supposed to inherit his brother's money. Unforunately for him, Garofano easily kills him for trying to harm Chief and the fact he and her brother were her targets anyway while she used him by leaking out the splitting assets and subtly giving him the poison to kill his older brother]].

* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: She's the Polite Villain to Rahu's Rude Hero during the [[spoiler:fight in the Erica Villa.]] She still maintains a polite albeit sadistic personality while Rahu is impatient and rude to [[spoiler: asking how she knows so much about the Eclipse Operation and why is she trying to kill Shalom.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: She drops this during the [[spoiler: Rain Burst event, calling the Paradeisos' people "fucks" for being so secretive.]]
* ProfessionalKiller: As expected from [[spoiler: an senior operative from the Garden]].
* PromotionToParent: Heavily implied as she claims her siblings wanted her to baby them. While she had her father who loved his children, she doesn't mention her mother caring for them presumably showing she might be dead.

* {{Expy}}: To [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Tanjiro Kamado]]. Both are the oldest child in their family, cared and babied their siblings a lot, and are great with children. Both had their peaceful lives that they were content with but was shattered when a monster attacked their home and were survivors, [[spoiler:Muzan killing all his family except his sister Nezuko who turned into a demon and Garofano's father who turned into Corruptor killing his children except her.]] Unforunately for Garofano she lost all her family members while Tanjiro was fortunate enough to have his younger sister Nezuko.

* AffablyEvil: Cabernet is unfailingly polite to people even to those rude to her, [[spoiler: but she only aims to feed on your soul.]]

** [[spoiler:During her interrogation, she succeeds in making Chief's soul shine so it can be tastier. However, what she did not expect was finding Chief to be the one who understood her intentions and motives, which she at least abides to Chief's wish to not consume other souls than theirs.]]

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In her interrogation, Chief finds out Cabernet lured Greg with the promise she would give up Carley but never did because she wanted to see the couple's souls to shine out. Chief is angered by this as she led to Carley and Greg's miserable states which she wanted to see their soul shine.]]

* NonIdleRich: She is a food critic who clearly doesn't need money but she enjoys eating amazing food and critiquing them.

** [[spoiler: During her interrogation, she succeeds in making Chief's soul shine so it can be tastier. However, what she did not expect was finding Chief to be the one who understood her intentions and motives, which she at least abides to Chief's wish to not consume other souls than theirs.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: While Cabernet is not actually a devil, the deal that the chief has to make in return for her being shackled is quite demonic. This is because she promised to never feed on any souls other than Chief's soul.

* EntitledToHaveYou: [[spoiler: She has a room of people that she wanted to cultivate albeit restricting their freedom. However, she immediately doesn't keep the Chief for herself as she wants to continue to savor the Chief's soul and not let them die or become a soulless husk.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Averted. Cabernet says during her interrogation that as much as she enjoys tasting, she is not into tasting human bodies. She is rather into tasting good foods and human souls.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: In her interrogation, Chief finds out Cabernet lured Greg with the promise she would give up Carley but never did because she wanted to see the couple's souls to shine out. Chief is angered by this as she led to Carley and Greg's miserable states which she wanted to see their soul shine.]]

** That said, she does oblige the Chief's deal that she will not eat anyone's soul but theirs. And she genuinely likes [[MoralityPet them]] to a somewhat creepy degree.

* RichBoredom: This is how she was even before turning into a Sinner. Nothing could truly sate her, even the best stuff given to her because it was extremely easy to do so. The only person who really stirs her heart is Chief, the only person who can understand her.
* SoulEating: While Cabernet has a public image as a food critic who tastes food to evaluate, [[spoiler: she is actually a SoulEater who prefers to taste souls that have tasty emotions like a couple's love for each other. She especially likes the Chief's soul due to their sharp, perceptive, intelligent, honest, and kind natures tasting quite divine.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cabernet likes grapes enough that other chefs, who couldn't get high scores for their food, try to exploit this. [[spoiler: It turns out that grape is not just Cabernet's TraditionallyFavoriteFood just for taste, however, as her Sinner power as a SoulEater crystalized the soul as grapes.]]

->'''Voiced by:'''

* FakeRelationship: It turns out she never had a real marriage with Mr. Braun, instead being an orphan he helped after her family's death and even accepted her as a Sinner. She states they were more like brother and sister. Garofano also states he had a wife who died earlier and she promised her she would take care of her elderly sick husband. As his new wife, she went to social events voluntarily in his place. [[spoiler:How much of this is true is ambiguous considering she wanted to kill him and his brother.]]
* FamilyOfChoice: She still loves her [[spoiler:deceased]] biological family but she begins seeing the MBCC and Chief as this. [[spoiler: She also sees the Garden as this after losing her whole biological family. She is violently protective of them as they helped her with avenging her family and some of the younger members sees her as a big sister figure.]]

* GoodParents: While it's unknown to how she thinks of her mother, she saw her father to be a good parent as she claims he loved and cherished her and his children. [[spoiler:It makes sense to why she hesitated to kill him when he became a Corruptor but this led to her siblings being slained by him and that she never hesitates to use extreme methods now.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She decided to not kill the Chief after seeing what kind of person they really are and began to see them like her own family and possession.]]
* HiddenDepths: Underneath her motherly figure side, she has a unhinged, somewhat possessive personality but only towards people she really cherishes like Chief. This is probably left by her DarkAndTroubledPast, where she lost her entire family and being the only survivor [[spoiler:she became extremely overprotective of people she loves and only calmed down due to Chief and being in the calm environment of the MBCC.]] Considering she's a Sinner, this is not surprising.
* HitmanWithAHeart: [[spoiler: She does not have any hesitations to attack innocent people to get to her goals but she doesn't go out of her way to kill anyone for evil reasons. She does it so she can protect the people she loves, example being the Garden and Chief. Speaking of the latter, she wanted to kill them but luckily did not, seeing their selfless, caring character. Although she can be somewhat sadistic as seen with Braun's gang and Rahu, taking her sweet time jabbing her with poisoned needles in the latter instead of outright killing her. Plus, she has a soft side with children and never targets children.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler: To the Garden. It was thanks to the assassination group who saved and helped her with her revenge that Garofano gives her life for the Garden.]]

* LoveMakesYouEvil: A significant reason to [[spoiler:why she became a Garden assassin for her dead family. Her immediate killing of Braun's brother to protect Chief can count as this, as she sees them to be someone she cherishes, her possession to be exact.]] [[spoiler:Another is her killing Paradeisos people to protect the Garden from being destroyed.]]

The owner of Fortuna.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: Just like Sumire, she was planning to kill the Chief because of their position, the director of the MBCC, but seeing how they were genuinely nice and kind to Sinners, including herself, she changed her mind.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: What she believes are the best lies, alongside mixing some truth in it that even the liar themselves believe it. [[spoiler: As a result of her flawless lies, the Chief's Shackles were unable to pick up her true intentions to eliminate Chief and they can't tell if she's telling the truth or not after they find out she's been deceiving them this whole time. Even then, Garofano admits what she said to them were maybe true showing even she can't tell if she was telling the truth or not.]]
* BeneathTheMask: Behind her caring, kind side, [[spoiler: she has a merciless side as an assassin from the Garden. Plus, she is able to play with her emotions well by injecting her true experiences to make the lie feel more believable. She also has unhinged, obsessive side with people she considers her possession leading her to be very overprotective of them.]] As the Chief states, she's a "master of disguise".

* ShipTease: Garofano has shown a doting albeit somewhat possessive personality to the Chief. [[spoiler: While she had planned to kill them in the beginning, the Chief changed her mind when she saw how selfless and caring they were to Sinners and that the MBCC was actually a soothing environment too.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: Not like a typical ice queen but she sounds and acts more mournful; when she comes into the bureau, she is cold and indifferent in contrast to how we see her in Drifter's Camp. A doctor diagnoses her with a disorder called "information input disruption syndrome" (implied to be a sensory disorder) which is one of the negative manifestations of being unable to adapt to normal conditions after leaving the abnormal state of long-term survival. It takes towards 100% compliance for Oak to return to her normal state that we saw her as, but showing more care, trust, and having a less obsession in the dead with the Chief.

* HandyMan: Surprisingly, for a hall manager of a funeral home, she is skilled in crafting caskets instead of buying them. In one of her emotion checks, she makes a small box with a tool for a deceased parrot while detailing what wood to use.
** In a video with the [=DeadLover=] Radio hosts, she is shown to be proud of her creations.

* MeaningfulName: Her name as Oak Casket is this. This is because the type of wood that is typically used for funeral caskets is oak. So as a hall manager of a funeral home who prepares an oak casket for the deceased, Oak Casket is quite a fitting name.

* NunTooHoly: She's an S-sinner for several reasons.[[spoiler:She's an underground broker using Romanesque Hall as a front to hide her secret activities. She sells classified information to violent gangs using her Sinner ability. You also wouldn't expect the serene Oak to commit brutal murders and do some illegal trafficking too.]]

* OnlyFriend: Dudu. Julien states how Oak is actually quite taciturn with the Drifter's Camp, and it's possible the only way they get outside information from her is from Dudu.

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: What she believes are the best lies, alongside mixing some truth in it that even the liar themselves believe it. [[spoiler: As a result of her flawless lies, the Chief's Shackles were unable to pick up her true intentions to eliminate Chief and they can't tell if she's telling the truth or not after they find out she's been deceiving them this whole time. Even then, Garofano admits what she said to them were maybe true.]]

* BlackWidow: [[spoiler: If her answer to Rahu's question on if her ''dead husbands'' goes by, she had married some of her targets many times to kill them and Braun was her 'latest' husband to target.]]
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: She lost her entire family to a Mania attack leading to Mr. Braun, a rich philanthropist, to give her help to get her life back on track. [[spoiler: Despite her lies to the Chief, her story of losing her biological family to her Corruptor turned father is true.]] There is one mention of her mother who is presumed deceased, and the only guardian she and her younger siblings had was her [[GoodParents father]] [[spoiler:before his transformation as a Corruptor.]]
* CoolBigSis: She is considered this by many of the younger Sinners because of her motherly, dependent nature. [[spoiler: Younger Garden members like Sumire and Gekkabijin see her as a big sister figure, helped that she's a senior member of The Garden.]]

* FakeRelationship: It turns out she never had a real marriage with Mr. Braun, instead being an orphan he helped after her family's death and accepted her as a Sinner. She states they were more like brother and sister. Garofano also states he had a wife who died earlier and she promised her she would take care of her elderly sick husband. As his new wife, she went to social events voluntarily in his place.[[spoiler: How much of this is true is ambiguous considering she wanted to kill him and his brother.]]

* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler:Her last interrogation has her referred to as having the air of a femme fatale when she kills Younger Mr. Braun and his gang, with her long hair down, exposing a bit of cleavage, and having a cold smile. This could be also applied to her Phase 3 art. She was playing innocence to gain Chief's sympathy and deceive them so she could assassinate them. Her method is after all, gaining the target's trust and love before killing them at their weakest moment.]]

* GoodIsNotSoft: Just like Anne, do not underestimate Garofano because of her gentle, kind nature. [[spoiler: Considering she was this close to killing the Chief when she immobilized them with a poison but choose not to because she saw their caring, noble character. She was also able to deceive their Shackles with well-done lies to the point Chief becomes hesitant to trust her again since they can't tell now if she's lying or telling the truth anymore.]]
** [[spoiler: As an assassin from the Garden, she has killed people and it's implied like Sumire she's been doing this for a long time as she tells Chief her long hunting habit.]]
* GoodParents: While it's unknown to how she thinks of her mother, but she saw her father to be a good parent as she claims he loved and cherished her and her siblings when they were young. [[spoiler:It makes sense to why she hesitated to kill him when he became a Corruptor but this led to her siblings being slained by him and that she never hesitates to use extreme methods now.]]

* HitmanWithAHeart: [[spoiler: She does not have hesitations to attack innocent people to get to her goals but she doesn't go out of her way to kill anyone for evil reasons. She does it so she can protect the people she loves, example being the Garden and Chief. Speaking of the latter, she wanted to kill them but luckily did not, seeing their selfless, caring character. Although she can be somewhat sadistic as seen with Braun's gang and Rahu, taking her sweet time jabbing her poisoned needles in the latter instead of outright killing her. Plus, she has a soft side with children and never targets children.]]

** A minor one to the Chief [[spoiler: after they try to protect her from Braun and his goons. Although at this point, Garofano had already given up on assassinating the Chief, this is probably one of the scenes where it cements to her desire to protect the Chief.]]
* LiarRevealed: [[spoiler: Turns out in her final interrogation Garofano has been deceiving Chief of who she was, especially being revealed as a member of the Garden. This leads to Chief being wary of her and unable to tell if she's telling a truth or a lie.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: A significant reason to [[spoiler:why she became a Garden assassin for her dead family. Her immediate killing of Braun's brother to protect Chief can count as this, as she sees them to be someone she cherishes, her possession to be exact.]] [[spoiler: Another is her killing Paradeisos people to protect the Garden from being destroyed.]]

** Both come from the same organization. [[spoiler: Both had the mission to kill the Chief, the director of the MBCC. However, in Sumire's case she decided from the beginning to not kill the Chief after seeing how they acted and how being around them led some of her symptoms to disappear, while it's implied Garofano went on her own accord to assassinate Chief when she came to the MBCC. However, just like Sumire, seeing Chief's personality and how the MBCC was really like changed her mind.]]
** Both end up loving the Chief and wanting to protect them from harm. [[spoiler: Sumire is shown to be in love with the Chief with deep and sincere romantic love, while Garofano is more of the doting, seducing and possessive type for the Chief. Sumire stops assassins from the Garden and anyone else for the matter from killing the Chief and Garofano has no hesitation to kill almost anyone who try to take Chief away from her.]] [[spoiler: When Chief goes into coma during the Rustfire events, both go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for them as they go back to the Garden. While Sumire is overlooking the targets with patience and waiting for the right moment to strike, Garofano ends up being used by Segal and Parma due to her impatience and anger.]]

* MultipleIdentityIDs: [[spoiler: Braun is one of her latest cover names, coming from a supervision event with Chief, she had build up multiple identities that've become bulletproof.]]
* {{Murder Inc}}: [[spoiler: Garofano is part of the Sinner assassin organization called the Garden.]]
* NecessarilyEvil: [[spoiler: She knows she's dirtied her hands by killing innocent people in Paradeisos, but in her words, it's a necessary sacrifice so she can get to her goal. Not to mention, she doesn't find Paradeisos people innocent in the first place.]]

** Heck, her 100% compliance line sounds almost like a marriage proposal from her to the Chief! In a creepy but passionate way by saying she wants to button Chief to her body and make them hers forever with the promise of cherishing and protecting them, and never letting them out of her sight. [[spoiler:Quite ironic for a woman who has potentially killed a lot of her spouses as targets.]]

* TilMurderDoUsPart: She was a suspect for her husband's death because of an inheritance issue, to which she states she wasn't married to Mr. Braun and she states she wouldn't inherit anything from him, his estate inheritance was going to be sent to her husband's younger brother. However, according to Garofano later, Mr. Braun wanted to split assets because he gave up on his brother due to his gambling habits. [[spoiler: However, while it's unknown to why she wanted Braun and his brother dead; she didn't kill Mr. Braun, but she was planning to and led his brother to do the killing so it made her job easier into killing both of them.]]
* TragicKeepsake: She wears her younger brother's button as a necklace since it reminds her of her [[spoiler:deceased]] family. Her mother told her buttons were very special and so it's implied to why she keeps several buttons on her shawl.

* VillainHasAPoint: She does have a point [[spoiler:when she counter-argues with Rahu on how the former didn't even think twice on sparing innocent people for her goals, she's completely well-aware of it but she points out how ordinary people like her and Rahu can obtain the truth they want so badly through normal methods. Seeing how it took Rahu '''10''' years to get even somewhat close with Paradeisos only because of the opportunity came from Drifter's Camp situation, Garofano does kind of have a point.]]

* BeautyMark: She has on the bottom right side of her mouth and another on her left breast.

* MultipleIdentityIDs: [[spoiler: Braun is one of her latest cover names, coming from a supervision event with Chief, she had build up multiple identities that've become bulletproof.]]

* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: She's the Polite Villain to Rahu's Rude Hero during the [[spoiler:fight in the Erica Villa.]] She still maintains a polite albeit sadistic personality while Rahu is impatient and rude to [[spoiler: asking how she knows so much about the Eclipse Operation.]]

* ProfessionalKiller: As expected from [[spoiler: an senior operative from the Garden.]]

* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler: Her last interrogation has her referred to as having the air of a femme fatale when she kills Younger Mr. Braun and his gang, with her long hair down, exposing a bit of cleavage, and having a cold smile. This could be also applied to her Phase 3 art. She was playing innocence to gain Chief's sympathy and deceive them so she could assassinate them. Her method is after all, gaining the target's trust and love before killing them at their weakest moment.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Her flower motif is a carnation. [[spoiler: Makes sense when you discover she's an operative from the Garden where most members are named after flowers.]]

* GoodParents: While it's unknown to how she thinks of her mother, but it's implied she saw her father to be a good parent as she claims he loved and cherished her and her siblings when they were young. [[spoiler:It makes sense to why she hesitated to kill him when he became a Corruptor but this led to her siblings being slained by him.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: She decided to not kill the Chief after seeing what kind of person they really are and began to see them like her own family and possession.]]

* HitmanWithAHeart: [[spoiler: She does not have hesitations to attack innocent people to get to her goals but she doesn't go out of her way to kill anyone for evil reasons. She does it so she can protect the people she loves, example being the Garden and Chief. Speaking of the latter, she wanted to kill them but luckily did not, seeing their selfless, caring character. Although she can be somewhat sadistic as seen with Braun's gang and Rahu, taking her sweet time jabbing her poisoned needles in the latter. Plus, she has a soft side with children and never targets children.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Not a {{Jerkass}} but she does have a point [[spoiler: when she counter-argues with Rahu on how she didn't even think twice on sparing innocent people for her goals, she's completely well-aware of it but she points out how ordinary people like her and Rahu can obtain the truth they want so badly through normal methods. Seeing how it took Rahu '''10''' years to get even somewhat close with Paradeisos, Garofano does kind of have a point.]]

* MotherlySidePlait: She has this as her default hairstyle and is a mother figure to young Sinners who look up to her. She was implied to be the mother figure to her younger siblings since she never mentions her mother aside one time. [[spoiler: This ends up zig-zagged, as while she is genuinely kind and motherly towards others; when she allows her ''very'' long hair to come undone to bandage Chief's wounds, this ends up showing her ruthless, sadistic side as an assassin from the Garden as she kills Braun and his thugs easily showing she's not a weak person.]]
* MuggingTheMonster: She thought Shalom was a weak, useless Paradeisos woman when she never realized Shalom was the Hush, a very powerful, calculating S-rank Sinner.

** Also, the reason she [[spoiler: escapes the MBCC and]] goes after [[spoiler: Shalom was because the latter was responsible for Chief's coma during the Rustfire events and being in charge of the operation of trying to exterminate The Garden.]]

** Heck, her 100% compliance line sounds almost like a marriage proposal from her to the Chief! In creepy but passionate way by saying she wants to button Chief to her body and make them hers forever with the promise of cherishing and protecting them, and never letting them out of her sight. [[spoiler: Quite ironic for a woman who has killed a lot of her spouses as targets.]]

* TragicKeepsake: She wears her younger brother's button as a necklace since it reminds her of her [[spoiler: deceased]] family. Her mother told her buttons were very special and so it's implied to why she keeps several buttons on her shawl.
* VagueAge: While she is very likely in her twenties (like with most Sinners whose ages are vague), she states she was helped by Mr. Braun as an orphan. [[spoiler: It's ambiguous as if her story of Mr. Braun was ever true or not, considering his younger brother called her a hag, either as an insult or she's in fact older than Braun's brother.]]
