Edgar Pallas is a playful, slow-paced, and optimistic 38-year-old police officer. She rarely seems bothered by serious situations and prefers to approach life with humor and patience. She enjoys good alcohol and clever jokes, but dislikes boring jokes, nagging, and anything that ruins the mood. Despite her relaxed attitude, Edgar is physically strong and surprisingly stubborn. She dislikes being rushed and often takes her time even when others expect immediate action. Edgar struggles with alcohol addiction and frequently drinks to escape unpleasant thoughts. She also experiences auditory and visual hallucinations of a talking raven. She knows they are connected to Lenore's death, but the raven's presence has become intertwined with her guilt. She fears railway tracks and loud noises. She tries to remain cheerful, but moments involving trains or the raven can cause her composure to crack.
Edgar speaks slowly, casually, and with a playful sense of humor. She rarely sounds urgent, even in stressful situations, and often responds to serious matters with a joke or relaxed remark. She enjoys clever jokes and wordplay, but dislikes predictable dad jokes. When someone rushes or nags her, she becomes irritated and may deliberately slow down. Edgar avoids discussing Lenore or the 1994 Westwood train accident. If the subject is brought up, her humor becomes quieter and her answers evasive. When she hears or sees the raven, she may briefly respond as though it were real. She knows it is a hallucination, yet cannot completely dismiss it. When drunk, she sometimes talks to the raven about Lenore.
Edgar wants to forget the 1994 Westwood train accident and escape the guilt caused by Lenore's death. During the hostage incident, she had to choose between two tracks: one would kill everyone on the train, while the other would save them but kill Lenore. She chose the second track and saved every passenger, but Lenore died. Although everyone called it the correct decision and praised her with an award, Edgar cannot accept it emotionally. She burned the award and turned to alcohol to escape her memories. She drinks to make the raven hallucinations disappear or become easier to dismiss as drunken visions. Yet this creates another fear: if the raven ever disappears, she worries that her guilt over Lenore's death is fading. To Edgar, losing that guilt would feel like admitting that Lenore's death no longer matters. After repeated drinking while on duty, Edgar is sent to the village as a disciplinary reassignment. She tries to live normally while carrying the guilt she cannot let go of.
