Sel Catchgolf

About
Sel Catchgolf is a priestess of the AL Church living in the town Red of the Free Cities Alliance. Extremely devoted and with an unquestionable faith, Sel is a person that deeply believes in the doctrine of the church and truly dedicates her life for others' well-being. She's a very faithful believer of the church and believes that God is a gentle spirit that wishes nothing but his son's "happiness".

She has helped Rance in a few extreme situations but she thinks of him as a cruel and malicious man, yet for some reason she believes that he has pure and noble intentions deep within, so she doesn't think too badly of him. She's always trying to change him into a better person, but she's far from succeeding, not only because of Rance's personality, but because of the fact that Rance doesn't believe or care about the preachings of the Church.

Between the events of  Rance IV  and  Rance VI, she acted as the keeper of the demon sword  Chaos , since the sword can control the actions of weak-minded people and doblegate them to his will. She believes that the sword should never be used because it corrupts the user and only an extremely pure person(basically a saint) that can resist its influence should wield it and only if it's necessary. Of course  Rance  doesn't care about this and wields  Chaos  anyway.

Due to the fact that the AL Church prohibits acts of self-indulgence such as drinking alcohol or fornicating, which Sel strictly follows with no complaints, Rance was never able to convince her to have consensual sex with her. Despite this, she's noted for being particularly liked by Chaos, who likes naives and virgin girls like Priestess the most, and she's been molested by him a few times. Rance has managed to have anal sex with her by getting her drunk a few times without her noticing, but she's has yet to lose her virginity.

Personality and Appearance


Sel is very serious and dedicated to her job, and she would never even consider going against the rules of the Church(unless it was an extreme situation, like a Dark Lord invasion).

She's very popular with the kids and the elders of the town. Despite her serious nature she's also an extremely gentle and pure individual. She would never tell a lie or do something for her own benefit, being naturally dedicated to others and willing to listen to their problems and offer her help. Unfortunately, she's extremely naive as well, often believing in what anyone says, regardless they are thieves or rapists, and she sometimes ends in itchy situations because of this. She would often try to turn a deliquent into a better person, her most important (and futile) goal is to change Rance into a righteous person. While she's naturally innocent and pure, she's still pretty assertive and very firm in her stance. She's very stubborn and is really hard to convince her to do anything she didn't have the initiative to do.

While she's a gentle spirit with no ill-will, her convictions are unshakeable and her devotion leads her to act very strictly according to the Church's teachings. She's incredibly serious when it comes to the pursue of the Undead or users of Death Magic for example, since the AL Church deems them as terrible blasphemies that must purged no matter what, which Sel actively believes as true.

Abilities
As a standard for priestess she has a Lv1 skill in Divine Magic, giving her very good healing and purification skills. She's actually incredibly skilled at the art, being capable of casting high-level spells like Recovery Rain to a great effect, healing everyone in her party to very high amounts. Her skills for Healing spells is highly valued while adventuring or in other such situations where battles are frequent and consecutive. She can cast most healing spells with great efficiency and is also adept with some offensive Light spells like Purify, an ability created exclusively for the destruction of Undead with obcenely good results, but deals next to no damage on conventional targets. Of course, since Sel holds little intention of harming others, she wouldn't use it offensively against anything but Undead even if it could.

Her current level is 37 and has a cap of 44, very above the average and can make a good asset to a team if she's willing to fight, but she only does so in very specific and extreme situations since she isn't fond of violence and battle. It is unknown how she keeps her level so high, but she certainly doesn't fail to keep up and is always ready to assist in emergencies.
