007 Elen
There is no friend or foe to the nun who lives by her faith.
Serves the princess of Bern, Guinevere, and is a follower of the Elimine Church. She and Guinevere were captured while on their way to Lycia. They were rescued by Roy’s army and joined them afterward. She has a modest personality and strong faith which came about by having lived in a monastery; though on the other hand it also made her have a slight dislike of men.
Profile
Gender—————————————Female
Estimated Age——————————–Teens
Title———————————–Saint of Bern
Origin————————————–Unknown
Status—Princess Guinevere’s Loyal Attendant
Weapon————————Staves/Light Magic
Technically an enemy in Roy’s party, Elen appeared incredibly hesitant at first. Despite that it seems she is able to find a place on the battlefield out of faithfulness to her beliefs and lady Guinevere. And so, it seemed up until that time she peacefully lived in a monastery until she witnessed her homeland’s sins before her very eyes.
After looking at her condition, Roy and his group consider ending the conflict as quickly as possible.

ベルン王国の王女であるギネヴィアに仕える、エリミーヌ教のシスター。ギネヴィアとともにリキアに向かうところを捕らえられたがロイたちに助けられ、その後行動を共にする。奥ゆかしい性格で信仰も厚いが、ずっと修道院で暮らしてきたせいか、ちょっと男性が苦手な一面もある。
