Movie
Description
Sword Maiden holds the position of Archbishop of the Supreme God at the Temple of Law. She possesses ankle-length blonde hair, typically braided back by a black bow, pale blue eyes habitually covered by a black blindfold, and a voluptuous figure marked by several faint, healed scars; her eyes show lesser healing from past injuries. Her attire consists of white robes with blue outlines and a golden hip decoration.
Her past reveals she was once a gold-ranked adventurer called Female Bishop. Her first adventure ended catastrophically when goblins captured, raped, and tortured her, burning her eyes and inflicting lifelong trauma. Escaping revealed her party had abandoned her. She later worked as an appraiser in Fortress City before ascending to her current ecclesiastical rank. She participated in the adventuring party that defeated the Demon Lord a decade prior to the main narrative, though this feat remains overshadowed by her trauma.
Personality-wise, Sword Maiden maintains a calm, compassionate, and collected demeanor suitable for her religious office. This exterior conceals severe depression, anxiety, and an overwhelming, paralyzing fear of goblins that causes trembling at their mere mention. This trauma prevents her from confronting goblins directly, forcing her to seek external aid. She feels isolated, as others dismiss her phobia due to her former high adventurer rank. Beneath her composed facade, she exhibits childish tendencies, refusing to leave bed to avoid duties or sulking when unable to attend festivals.
Her abilities grant her powerful miracles due to her position and past experience, including *Resurrection* (healing injuries via a virgin medium), *Appraisal* (verifying items despite blindness), *Protection* (creating strong defensive barriers), *Silence*, *Holy Light*, and flame projection. She employs an alligator familiar for combat support and possesses exceptional cartography skills, evidenced by her mapping of the Dungeon of the Dead during her adventuring career.
Her story arc initiates when she hires Goblin Slayer to eradicate goblins infesting Water Town's sewers. She admits to manipulating events, including fabricating deaths, to draw attention to the goblin threat—hoping others would share her fear. Following Goblin Slayer's success, she confides her trauma to him. He promises to slay the goblins haunting her dreams, bringing her emotional relief; she later reports the cessation of her goblin-related nightmares.
She maintains correspondence with Goblin Slayer, later requesting his aid in locating the missing Noble Fencer. She provides crucial support during the Dungeon of the Dead incident, supplying maps, a Blue Ribbon key, and battlefield assistance. Despite her terror, she arrives with warrior-priests to eliminate remaining goblins, relying on Goblin Slayer's presence for strength. Her trauma resurfaces when pressured to rescue a princess from goblins within the very dungeon where she suffered, nearly overwhelming her before Goblin Slayer's party intervenes.
In *Goblin's Crown*, her role is limited. She appears briefly during the king's council meeting discussing the princess's kidnapping, though her involvement in the rescue mission remains undetailed. Later, she aids in investigating the disappearance of a Centaur Princess, identifying a suspect while displaying noticeable affection toward Goblin Slayer, much to her attendants' annoyance.
Her character development shows gradual emotional recovery through Goblin Slayer's interventions, though her deep-seated trauma persists. She transitions from a figure paralyzed by fear to one who indirectly confronts goblin threats, leveraging her influence and resources while depending on others for physical confrontation.
