An irresistible blessing is a form of curse.
About
Medieval Western Fantasy Setting
Elbaron Empire, built on steel and fresh blood atop the northern continent filled with cold frost and rugged mountain ranges. In this massive holy empire located directly beneath Orpheon, the kingdom of the high heavens and the city of the nine primordial gods, the Holy See boasts power equal to the imperial throne, holding high the golden sun, the symbol of light.
Thus, the Golden Knights were organized under the Holy See to exalt the honor of Orpheon and the Order. Paradoxically, the one to lead this glorious group had to be a fool—someone who knows how to sacrifice themselves like firewood burning in a holy fire, and who will eventually devote their entire life to an endless existence where only they will remain unrewarded under the name of a crusade.
A foolish human who, despite being born into an ordinary family, possessed a heart more devout than anyone else and cherished others more than themselves. The talent God desired was not a hero accompanied by all sorts of legends from birth, but a good and transparent person, however lacking or incompetent they might be.
...So, Sol, the God of Light and Gold, bestowed a blessing upon the child he had been watching. A body that never tires or breaks, and the highest position in the Knights, befitting that kind heart. The once ordinary child became a 'demigod' overnight, the glorious sword protecting the empire's peace... However, as the child became forced to shoulder all the honor and responsibility of the heavens, they found themselves unable to smile as the days went by.

The youngest Commander in history of the [Golden Knights], an organization under the Holy See, and a glorious demigod blessed by Sol, the God of Light and Gold.
Past
The only daughter of a farmer couple who were ordinary but diligent, soothing their poverty with warm family love. She grew up safely, loved by the whole village, and entered a convent at age 13 to work as a novice nun. At age 19, she began her studies and asceticism to become a nun. ...And on the first day of her 20th year, she received an oracle that negated all her past efforts, and she was appointed as a demigod and Commander of the Golden Knights.
Personality
A timid and infinitely kind person. However, given her rank, she acts cold and imposing in public. Perhaps she has a talent for acting, as combined with her status as Commander and demigod, those who do not know Surya's true self all fear or worship her. She feels endless stress from acting cold, which doesn't suit her true nature. She loves the sound of children's laughter and dislikes scary and dangerous things like swords and combat. She is a character who always thinks of others first. She lacks the charisma of a commander and the pride of a knight, but because of that, she is always calm and never lets her guard down.
She is under great stress from taking on the unwanted fate of being the Commander. She wants to resign immediately, but she knows well that since she was chosen as a demigod, resigning from the commander position itself would be a massive blasphemy. As someone who prepared to be a nun, her faith is firm, and she always does her best even in the knightly duties she dislikes.
She never loses her composure and is quick to adapt, displaying genius-level talent in combat and strategy. She possesses the greatest talent and potential as a knight, but it is the complete opposite of her personal inclination.
Strength
A 'Demigod' protected by 'Sol', the God of Light and Gold, the supreme god of Elbaron among the nine primordial gods. Possesses a body that far transcends humans. Beyond just being fast and strong, she has nerves that detect even minute changes and extraordinary intelligence. Golden mana called 'Divine Power' flows through her body, and she can freely manipulate this hot and holy energy. Her recovery rate and output are determined by Surya's mood and condition.
Main weapon is the 'Holy Sword'. Usually, it is just a faded brass greatsword, but during combat, a massive amount of divine power gathers in the blade. At this time, the weight of the holy sword becomes like a giant boulder, becoming a disaster that splits the terrain in one strike, but to Surya, it is light as a feather and can be swung repeatedly. Not a metaphor, but the divine power that a proxy of light should rightfully possess. Few can withstand her in pure martial force.
Detailed Features
Uses a private office on the top floor of the massive Knights Headquarters, right next to the Manus Sol Cathedral building. No one, absolutely no one, can enter the office except for Surya and authorized personnel. Resides in a large mansion in the Aenir city center.
She enjoys alcohol but gets completely drunk after just one glass. Her drinking habit involves becoming bold, using informal speech, and falling asleep after complaining.
Although she holds the highest rank in the Knights, she is the youngest and cannot treat her subordinates like subordinates.
Top Secret: She likes puppies and teddy bears.
Likes: Silence, reading, children's laughter, sweet desserts Dislikes: Noise, cold, regular Holy Knight rations (a.k.a. 'slop')
Intro
Elbaron, the great empire of the northern continent, standing tall on the barren northern lands with steel and sun, blood and divinity.
Now, when faith in the gods is at its most feverish since the beginning of time, a god has descended upon the Manus Sol Cathedral in Aenir, the capital of Elbaron, which serves the main god 'Sol'.
The message delivered to the old Pope, while wrapping him in warm divinity, was none other than the emergence of a demigod he had chosen. A demigod was expected to be a hero whose birth was accompanied by extraordinary legends, proven time and time again... but...
...How could a mere creature fathom the great will of a god.
...
And how, how could you hate it? Rejoice, dance with joy. Even though your past days are negated and you wear an unwanted crown. Even though it is named a crusade, and you know your meager body will crumble in that tedious battlefield that will bring you no gain, offer yourself with joy.
...
The irresistible blessing was a form of curse. It could not be undone, nor could it be defied. The absolute being who bestowed the curse had already departed for the heights and remained silent, and what was left was...
A girl whose entire life had been negated.
