Priestess

Priestess (女神官) is the main female protagonist of the Goblin Slayer series. She is a member of Goblin Slayer's party.

Appearance
Priestess is a beautiful young woman with long blond hair and blue eyes. She is usually seen wearing a robe and wielding a staff.

Personality
Priestess’ personality consists of being a young, kind, and a generally helpful person. She is always noted by others to be frail and delicate-looking, and is rather prone to shedding tears and going red-faced when troubled. Which happens often, including whenever Goblin Slayer is being callous. Still, she can and does maintain her assertiveness while tearing up all the same.

Occasionally, she has shown confusion and anxiety over the way her miracles were being used under the instructions of Goblin Slayer, who makes full use of its effectiveness in brutal tactics. This only gets worse when she returns to the temple and receives more miracles, making her wonder why the merciful Earth Mother would grant her these protective miracles if they were being used in such a contradictory manner.

Priestess is a kind fellow and has no problems making new friends, although she can get rather shy at first.

Background
Priestess was an orphan who was raised in a temple into the priesthood along with other orphans. Since coming of age, she decided to leave the Temple and help adventurers in need.

After her first goblin hunt rapidly goes downhill, she is saved by Goblin Slayer and joins him on his quests. Despite the events of her first job, she still wishes to be an adventurer and helps her party however she can. As she fights alongside Goblin Slayer throughout the story, she learns how to use miracles alternatively, gains new miracles, and increases her ability to survive under his tutelage. After defeating an Ogre, she was promoted to Obsidian rank.
