Hortensia, Caren
Summary
Caren Ortensia serves as a priestess within the Church, a role that occasionally sees her assisting the Burial Agency, as noted in a Character Material short story. Despite this collaboration, she is not an official member of the Agency and does not hold the title of Executor. Her demeanor is angelic and deeply forgiving, driven by a belief that her sole purpose is to aid others, even at the cost of her own well-being. She refuses to blame individuals for harming her, instead attributing their actions to demons that incited their sins. When she perceives herself to be at fault, she directs her apologies to God rather than the affected person. Beneath her pious exterior lies an unexpected penchant for psychological manipulation. Caren delights in teasing and exploiting the emotional vulnerabilities of others, deliberately exposing their weak spots in front of peers to provoke outrage and humiliation. She maintains a calm, expressionless composure during these interactions, once squeezing Avenger’s face without flinching in response to his retort. Furthermore, she has consciously chosen to wear a revealing, skirt-less outfit designed to enhance her mobility and seduce men, a stark contrast to traditional clerical attire.
