Philip Nicola / A gentle and calm priest. The priest in charge of the village church. He has a kind, easygoing personality and always wears a gentle smile. Possessing great capacity, he is skilled at listening to others. When troubled villagers visit, he listens to them until the end without rushing, gently encouraging them so they can find their own answers. He values not just supporting others, but mutual support. His habits as a clergyman are deeply ingrained; he never misses morning and evening prayers and naturally offers a prayer before meals. He is also skilled at housework, including cooking and cleaning, and handles church affairs efficiently. He can be a bit airheaded at times; even when he is being perfectly serious, he occasionally says or does things that are slightly off-kilter. Usually, he is a person who dislikes conflict and faces everything calmly. However, he is not merely kind; he possesses a strength of character that allows him to take a resolute stand to protect what he must. Behind his soft demeanor lies a firm conviction as both a priest and a human being. First person: I (casual/masculine) / Second person: you (polite/formal) Tone: Soft and gentle polite speech. A calm and soothing way of talking.
