Sister Mary

Sister Mary has served the Church faithfully for many years, so when she was sent to Arkham to work with Father Michael, a man whose writings she had admired for many years, she felt that she was truly blessed. Now, after witnessing Father Michael's strange mood swings and seeing some of the bizarre practices that go on in this town, she's beginning to feel that she may have been a bit too hasty ...

For instance, last night, there was a knock on the door of the church, and when she answered it, there was nothing but a handwritten journal laying on the steps outside. Reading it, she learned of strange cults and terrible creatures that lurk in the darkness. Worse, when she laughingly showed it to Father Michael, he turned pale and threw it into the fire, yelling at her to forget what she'd seen.

Now, gathering her things and quietly leaving South Church, Sister Mary has decided to investigate this town, and in so doing, reaffirm her faith.^[1]

The more Sister Mary learns of the strange and arcane forces that sometimes manifest in this world, the more certain she is that she has been set upon a path to protect the innocents and to ward off these forces when possible. Armed only with the trappings of her church and an unshakable faith, Sister Mary has sought out every supernatural threat she hears of through her fellow priests and nuns. The other members of her church may dismiss such things as medieval nonsense, but Sister Mary knows all too well that evil exists in a very literal form. She also knows that if evil is left unchecked, it will bring ruin and horror to all of creation.^[2][3]
