<Profile>
She is a pilgrim sister and a direct subordinate of Miliazar. Her fighting ability as an individual is great, but what she excels at the most is fighting in command of a group. She’s one of the best in the pilgrimage, and her magic is well-balanced in attack, assistance, and recovery, and she herself is a melee fighter, so she can fight in any situation.
Her personality is usually calm, but she is also a person who says things clearly, and when in battle, she has a cool-headedness that shows no mercy whatsoever. She has a history of destroying an entire fortress when she saw that the bandits who were ravaging the region weren’t reforming.
She used to be a criminal gang leader from a slum. When the vigilante group became too much for the mayor to handle, he asked the government to dispatch the knights, but they were repulsed twice. The mayor secretly cooperated with the request to the Church of Arnelia, where she was finally captured and almost executed by the mayor, but the Church of Arnelia protected her. Of course, Miliazar was sent out to do this.
Miliazar took various actions to secure a handhold that she could move directly at the time. In the process, Elsa caught her eye. She then took in the form of an adopted child of a priest at the church headquarters, and the family name of Woldricksen was given to her at that time.
Elsa was the type of person who did not trust others, but she had a contradictory side: she was good at taking care of people. This may be due to two contradictory factors: her naturally gentle nature and the cautious nature of the harsh environment in which she was raised. But because of this, she was in a position of trust among her peers as a leader.
After joining the Arnelian Church, she gradually regained her original calmness and personality because of the kind people she was surrounded by. Miranda’s lecture was also a turning point for her, and since then, she has been seriously committed to her training and has emerged as a remarkable person.
Only two years after joining the Arnerian religion (which isn’t through faith, so it takes the form of initiation rather than admission), she is assigned to a pilgrimage mission. She has been active in many places for the past eight years, she’s a bit of a celebrity at church headquarters, even though she’s on pilgrimage duty, and she has a reputation for ensuring that those who receive her guidance will go on to achieve great things, making her a sought-after Sister.

<Profile>
A member of the Lazaar family, she is a cousin to Albert and Rafferty. She too was raised as a swordsman and is one who has accepted the fate of Lazaar. At 14, she joined Templar Knights and this time, upon coming of age, she received her pilgrimage assignment.
Her fighting style is quite special. While Rafferty uses a regular two-bladed sword (the two-bladed sword itself is relatively heretical), Eliza uses a slender rapier-like two-bladed sword. In other words, while Rafferty’s swordsmanship is mainly built around「slashing and dispatching,」Eliza’s is mainly built around「thrusting」(of course, she can also slash). When facing a large number of people, she uses「twin swords」which are usually used on horseback.
This is a weapon longer than Eliza’s height and weighs quite a bit, so normal infantrymen do not use it. But Eliza dared to choose this heavy weapon to compensate for her lack of arm strength due to the fact that she is a woman. This would allow her to compensate for handling with rotational movements, and as a result, it was a weapon that she was very well suited for.
It’s not that there have been no female knights in the Lazaar family until now. But their numbers were very few, and most chose to become priests. But she felt that her personality was better suited to facing the enemy as a vanguard rather than being protected in the rear, and she also had her admirer, Albert, nearby. Fortunately, she was also gifted with a sword and succeeded in being engaged as a knight. She is not very good at magic.
Her personality is also similar to Albert’s, taciturn and honest. However, she’s not as uptight as Albert, likes cute things and takes care of her appearance. Incidentally, she’s also good friends with Beliace and Roxanne, and they love her like a sister. Before Beliace had Justin, they often came to stay at Eliza’s room.
