Description
Vierge à l’Épée, or Sword Maiden, ascends from her past as a gold-ranked adventurer to her revered position as Archbishop of the Supreme God within the Temple of Law. Long, braided blonde hair frames her pale blue eyes, perpetually veiled by a black blindfold, while her figure, draped in white-and-blue ceremonial robes, bears faint scars from battles past. Though her wounds have faded, the psychological scars of her captivity and torture by goblins remain raw, etching an unshakable terror of the creatures into her psyche. This fear lingers even after her legendary role in defeating the Demon Lord, compelling her to covertly hire adventurers to purge goblin infestations in the city’s sewers—a task her trauma renders her incapable of confronting directly.
Her authority as archbishop intertwines political influence with divine power. She channels miracles like *Resurrection*, requiring a virgin conduit to mend fatal wounds; *Appraisal*, deciphering object properties through her blindness; and *Protection*, conjuring barriers against harm. A vigilant alligator familiar patrols the sewers, supplementing her indirect warfare against goblins. Strategically, she orchestrates crises to provoke intervention, such as framing incidents to rally forces—a maneuver recognized by Goblin Slayer, whose ruthless efficiency against goblins offers her fragile solace. When pressured to rescue a princess from goblins, her resolve fractures until his pragmatic methods steady her.
Later, escalating threats like a fortified goblin army led by a paladin in a snowbound village demand her coordination, relying heavily on Goblin Slayer’s expertise. Publicly composed, she occasionally reveals vulnerability—resisting duties to indulge in festivals or displaying childlike hesitance—exposing the rift between her regal stature and inner fragility. Her arc balances trauma with duty, resilience with reliance, as her collaboration with allies marks a tentative shift from solitary endurance to shared resolve against the goblin scourge.
