Description
Sister is a 29-year-old British man living in the riverside community. He constantly wears a nun's habit, earning him the name "Sister" from the village chief. Standing 208 cm tall and weighing 92 kg, he possesses an imposing physical presence enhanced by his weighted habit. His background as a mercenary and war veteran is evident in his extensive knowledge of firearms, military tactics, and artillery. A prominent scar on the right side of his face stems from an undisclosed wartime incident.
His personality merges devout religious affectation with militaristic fervor. He conducts extremely brief Sunday masses, firing a machine gun into the air and distributing cookies if no confessions are made. Despite his religious attire, he remains perpetually combat-ready, frequently setting booby traps and carrying concealed weapons beneath his habit. He exhibits a hair-trigger temper, reacting to perceived threats with disproportionate force, such as brandishing weapons against thrown vegetables. He also demonstrates unexpected skill in baking cookies and sweets.
Sister's relationships profoundly influence him. He harbors deep affection for Maria, another resident and war veteran he met in past conflicts. Maria's harsh insults uniquely unsettle him, causing his facial scar to rupture and bleed. Their dynamic involves mutual antagonism tempered by underlying care, culminating in a physical confrontation where Maria exploits this weakness to defeat him. He shares a protective bond with Stella, an orphan who traveled from England seeking him based on their past association. Stella exhibits fierce protectiveness, dubbing him her underling while he provides her guidance.
Within the community, Sister acts as a guardian, particularly concerned for Nino's wellbeing. He directly questions Recruit about the sincerity of his feelings for her. His combat expertise positions him as an unofficial community enforcer; during the village sumo competition, he forfeited upon witnessing Shiro's obsessive determination. Later, he fought Maria to defend "the dignity of the riverside men," accepting a blood transfusion from Recruit to sustain his efforts.
His character develops through interactions, especially with Maria. While maintaining core traits, he displays increased tolerance for the community's eccentricities. During his fight with Maria, a momentary religious epiphany leads him to abandon firearms for knives, reverting to basic combat principles. This temporary shift indicates adaptability. Maria's observation that he seems happier living under the bridge suggests personal growth stemming from his connections. His protective instincts evolve beyond Nino to include Stella and the broader community.
