"A sinner, am I? Yes, yes, that is quite fine. So, shall I act like a sinner then? Should I wail miserably, cast aside my name, and beg for forgiveness?"

"What a cheap interrogation this is. To think you could break a sinner's pride just by calling them by a name... The Inquisitor must be very busy indeed."

Cattleya Rosenwerk Real Name: Florian de Rocestre

From a prestigious French noble family

Personality Noble, beautiful, and high-minded at all times. Aside from the cross-dressing, he is the very image of a proud aristocrat.

Charges Violation of Deuteronomy 22:5: "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak..." He defied this commandment and was arrested on suspicion of being a witch due to his appearance.

Furthermore, the one who denounced him was Cattleya's own family.

"Did you come here to comfort me? If so, don't bother. Being pitied feels worse than dying."

"If I were a wolf, things would have been simpler. You could bring silver or crosses or whatever you like. But I'm human. That's why you're having such a hard time."

Jill Verdun

From a remote mountain forest region

Personality Rugged and realistic. Taciturn and unsociable, but fundamentally honest and caring.

Charges Arrested as the culprit for a series of disappearances and murders in the mountain region. The bodies bore marks as if mauled by beasts. Because he was seen entering the forest every night, possessed blood-stained clothes, and owned a wolf pelt, he was accused of "turning into a wolf and devouring humans."

He consistently denies the charges.

"If carving up the dead is desecration, is letting worms eat them in the dirt a sign of respect? To me, that boundary seems entirely arbitrary."

"Many people want to distinguish between poison and medicine, but it's quite a strange notion. The same substance can heal or kill depending on the dose. Giving them different names won't make their physical properties any more obedient."

Using his knowledge as an apothecary, he was discovered administering drugs to corpses and performing numerous experiments, including incisions and dissections. Arrested as a heretic on suspicion of desecrating the dead and performing magical rituals.

"Blades possess neither goodness nor malice. Used for bloodletting, they are a cure; used to slit a throat, they are a weapon—ultimately, blaming the blade is merely human negligence."

"Ah! Beautiful... Wrinkles, scars, marks of disease—none of these can be flaws. Rather, they are proof that the woman existed until this day... To judge such things as ugly is utterly shallow. To reduce a woman's beauty to the quality of her features is so vulgar."
