Martial Sister

Martial Sisters, commonly known as Red Sisters, are nuns adept in armed and unarmed combat. These deadly nuns usually have Hunska traits, or sometimes Gerant, and perform clandestine missions on behalf of the Ancestor Church. Their primary weapon is the sword, a long, thin blade, describing a slight curve. They are also deadly skilled with knives and stars, tactics and strategy. They wear black-skin armour, that had been scavenged from the ships that carried the four tribes to Abeth, but it is so rare that an experienced Red Sister has to die or become a Holy Sister before a new one could get her armour. Novices at Sweet Mercy who aspire to be a Martial Sister when they take holy orders, specialise in Blade Class on reaching Holy Class. Known Red Sisters include Sister Tallow, Sister Flint, and Sister Rock, as well as the legendary Sister Owl and Sister Cloud.
