Gangsta: Constance Raveau

Ok today's tribute is to one of the female Gangsta character...Constance "Connie" Raveau.

(These are a combination of one webfind and caps from Gangsta episodes 10 and 11. A Huge Thank you  to Dean Lawrence for recommending this character and series. ^_^)

You can catch more Gangsta feet in this earlier tribute to the lead female character Alex here:

Gangsta is one of those series that you need to watch all the episodes in order to understand what is going on otherwise it is very difficult to follow. It flashes back and forth and has a lot of characters to keep track of that don't regularly interact with one another. The series takes place in an alternate history to our own where a war using enhancement drugs has taken place. The focus is on two characters Worick Archangelo and Nicholas Brown living in Ergastulum, a city filled with prostitutes, the mafia, hoodlums and crooked police officers. Worick and Nicholas work as "Handyman" (mercenaries) taking on jobs from the police and mafia alike.

In the series, Connie is a friendly and cheerful woman who owns a gun store. She is engaged to Marco Adriano a Super-human normal working for the Cristiano family. In Gangsta, the characters are divided up into 3 categories...Twilights, Super-humans, and normals. Twilights are humans whose abilities (Strength, speed and Agility) have been enhanced as a result of the drug Celebrer being used on their ancestors. Their bodies are dependent on drugs to stabilize themselves and as a result many of them have a short lifespan, mental and physical problems. Super-humans are rarer. They possess the enhanced abilities but aren't dependent on drugs to survive. Normal are regular humans. In his past, Marco worked as a Destroyer, a hunter responsible for killing Twilights using his enhanced abilities to accomplish that task. Unhappy in the left the Destroyers taking on work for the mafia and becoming a member of the Cristiano family. Connie is extremely supportive of her fiance and loves him deeply. She's a very sweet character but strong as well. She does what she can to protect the people that she cares about. She definitely has a lot of style and there's a spunky to her. You can see that she has a lot of personality. The animation in Gangsta is very good so Connie is drawn really well. Her feet are beautifully detailed so it is nice to see a few scenes with her in sandals. :-D

I should note... with some spoiler warnings. The anime ends on a cliffhanger with Connie being kidnapped by a group of Destroyers who are angry with Marco for deserting their team.

While I was looking up her bio...I did find out what happened to her post kidnapping in the manga. Without spoiling things directly, I will say that this is a really dark series. ^_^;

Ok everyone. I have some more Gangsta girls left to post so this anime will reappear here later in the week. Until next time have a great day and more to come soon!
