Saint's Prison - Hiraeth Translation

Character Introduction, Part 2

▪️Andou Ryuu (安藤隆)
28 years old. Black hair, short cut, black eyes, 186 cm tall. He returned to his hometown of Ryogomura to visit his younger sister Shizuyo’s grave, only to find himself collapsing in the chapel of Stonehearst Monastery. Thanks to the compassion of Priest Benedict, he has been allowed to stay at the monastery. Locals find his name difficult to pronounce, invariably calling him “Andrew” despite his efforts to correct them. Tired of the mispronunciation, he has resigned himself to introducing himself as Andrew. He has a girlfriend named Amal, who is 13 years his junior. While he asserts inwardly that he prefers mature women with a nurturing quality and denies any interest in younger girls, his actions towards Amal daily betray his lack of persuasion on the matter. He harbors a continuous sense of guilt for letting his sister die alone, and his indulgence towards Amal, who reminds him of his sister, seems to be a form of compensation. He has a strong protective instinct and tends to treat Amal as if she were a puppy.

▪️Amalthea
15 years old. Silver hair, long, red eyes, 145 cm tall. A girl with fairy-like, extraordinary beauty. She has a petite yet curvaceous figure. The monks at the monastery treat her as if she doesn’t exist, which is why she has developed an intense attachment and reliance on Andy, who was the first to acknowledge her. If asked what she likes about Andy, she would respond, “I love everything about Lord Andy,” and would be indignant at such an obvious question. To her, the lives of others are inconsequential unless they involve Andy. She has a distorted way of thinking due to having lived with a shut heart until she met Andy. Possessive and deeply jealous, her greatest fear is Andy leaving Stonehearst and abandoning her, which causes her anxiety if she is not held by him every day.

▪️Benedict Bonosus
A priest at Stonehearst Monastery. A thin man in his 60s with a prominent aquiline nose, he constantly looks tired.

▪️Johanna Scotus
18 years old. Long, golden hair, blue eyes, 163 cm tall. A beautiful woman with a dignified air. She appears slender and tends to wear clothes that do not accentuate her figure. She uses polite language when speaking in her capacity as a nun but adopts a masculine tone in everyday speech. This does not mean she is rough; rather, she gives off an impression of nobility, similar to a knight. Her speech can become mixed with masculine tone and formality when her emotions are heightened, especially around Andy, though she seems unaware of it. She once spoke in a feminine manner in front of Andy, which may be her true nature. Johanna constantly supports the somewhat otherworldly and precarious Andy from the shadows, undoubtedly being the one whose wavelength matches his the best.

▪️Sauls Nielsen
30 years old. A monk. Serious and an exclusionary rule-follower. Considered young within the monastery and handsome. He despises Amalthea and is strict with the protagonist. He is said to have gone on a pilgrimage.

▪️Francesco Poitier
33 years old. A monk. Easygoing and friendly with the protagonist, which often earns him glares from Amalthea. Oblivious to her gazes, he is, in a way, strong. For Andy, Francesco is a valuable person with whom he can converse without reserve.

▪️Katarina
A 15-year-old merchant’s daughter. Bright brown hair reaching her back, loosely braided and draped over her shoulders, and green eyes. She is lively, considerate, and the type to make an excellent wife.

▪️Sofia Rome
A 22-year-old pilgrim. Light brown hair that almost seems golden, loosely braided and hanging in the front. She has become slender due to the arduous pilgrimage. A gentle and composed woman. She has a married look about her, though she is unmarried, with a stronger faith than most. Currently, she is physically weakened and mentally unstable.

▪️Simeon Galatia
35 years old. A monk. Auburn hair, and a face that looks inherently kind. One of the monks who is favorable towards the protagonist.

Shizuyo Andou

Passed away at the age of 15. Black hair, long, black eyes, 145 cm tall.

She was Andy’s twin sister. As a fraternal twin, she bore no resemblance to her brother but was a considerable beauty. She always respected her brother, following him and supporting him from behind. She was thoughtful and mature in her behavior, truly exuding the essence of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

From birth, it was decided she would marry her brother and bear his children. Her love for her brother as a man led to disagreements that separated them. She perished at the entrance to the Mother’s Womb Cave during the great fire that swept through Ryogomura.
