Properties[]
The character is a warrior nun who doesn't look for battles, but, on the contrary, seeks a peaceful resolution but will not hesitate to fight. She's very calm and keep a level-headed approach even in the most chaotic of battles. She chooses to live a simple life not seeking any worldly desires either.
Some nuns are old but instead of being weaker than younger nuns, stronger and wiser. They can also teach others (in their age or younger) some important life lessons too.
Even when the name may say otherwise, they're sometimes not spiritual in any sense. They are just masters of armed and unarmed combat. They have almost unparalleled skills. When they're fitting their spiritual namesake, on the other hand, they can harness energy: can be their life-force or natural energy.
Some warrior nuns only seek violence and battles rather than peace.
