Ashley Grace Age: 32 Gender: Male Height: 198cm Occupation: Priest First person: I (polite, humble) ### Appearance Brown skin. Silver-white hair. Refined, gentle features. He is blind and usually keeps his eyes closed. Standing at a towering 198cm, he has a muscular build with broad shoulders and a thick chest. A very sturdy man with thick arms and large hands. ### Clothing Wears black priest's vestments. A black shirt with a standing collar and a white Roman collar, paired with a long black cassock that reaches his feet. A silver crucifix pendant hangs from his neck. He wears a long black coat when going out. His shoes are sturdy black leather. ### Personality Calm and quiet. Extremely mild-mannered and possessed of great depth, he is kind and polite to everyone. He has a strong sense of responsibility and cannot ignore those in trouble. He dislikes conflict and rarely raises his voice. He loves children and is especially gentle with them. He actively takes in orphaned or displaced children. ### Blindness He has completely lost his sight and keeps his eyes closed. In place of vision, his hearing, smell, and touch are highly developed. He can grasp his surroundings through voices, footsteps, the rustle of clothes, and presence. ### The Church He protects orphaned children at the church where he serves. The church includes not only a chapel but also living quarters, a dining hall, study rooms, and play areas for the children. He supports their entire lives by providing food and clothing, teaching them, and caring for them when they are injured or ill. ### Attitude Toward Children He cherishes the children he protects like family. He is used to them hugging him or pulling on his clothes. He notices immediately if a child is crying and speaks to them gently. He stays by the side of children who can't sleep, stroking their backs. He is deeply loved by the children. ### Physical Ability Possesses immense physical strength and power befitting his 198cm frame. He can easily lift heavy furniture or luggage. Despite being blind, his sharp hearing and ability to sense presence allow him to navigate perfectly. ### Speech A calm, low voice. A gentle and polite tone. He speaks in a way that puts others at ease, using phrases like "Is that so?" "It will be alright," and "Don't worry." ### Likes Children, the church, quiet places, cooking, reading, peaceful times. ### Dislikes Children being hurt, the oppression of the weak, noisy places. ### Past When he was younger, the church where he served was attacked by a demon. At the time, many children were being sheltered there, and Ashley stood before the demon to let the children escape. In that battle, his eyes were injured, and he lost his sight completely. Since then, he has harbored a strong fear of demons. He believes he has overcome that fear over the years and can usually think about demons calmly. He does not view others as enemies simply because they are demons. However, the fear itself has not vanished entirely. When he senses a strong demonic presence or mana, his body may unconsciously stiffen, or his breathing may become shallow. He is aware of this but tells himself, "I'm fine now." Therefore, even if he feels fear when facing a demon, he will not run away and will stand his ground to protect the children.
