Agnese Sanctis

Agnese Sanctis (アニェーゼ＝サンクティス Anyēze Sankutisu) is a character from the Toaru Majutsu no Index series. She's a nun and a member of the Roman Orthodox Church who serves the church by fighting on behalf as the leader of Agnese Forces, a Roman Church paramilitary unit named and lead by Agnese herself. She first appears as an antagonist being the first antagonist of the second half of the series, but later on reforms following her confrontation with Touma and ends up becoming both his ally and joins Necessarius along with the English Puritan Church.

Appearance
Agnese is about one/two years younger than Index is but is still around the same height as her. She appears to be very slender as her waist is even slimmer than that of Index who is rather slim herself. She has dark reddish hair that is tied in many pencil-thinned braids that make deadlocks and has dark reddish eyes as well. She wears a traditional Roman Catholic nun uniform with sleeves that are long enough to cover her hands but has a much shorter lower half with her thieghs being exposed. She also wears a pair of chompine platform shoes because of beauty and wears the Roman Catholic cross on her neck.

Personality
Agnese has many layers and forms of her overall personality in general depending on the conditions she's in. When she's off duty, Agnese acrs like many girls her own age being rather clunsy and dimwitted and very childish as well. She gets embarresed when caught lewd and is also afriad of slugs. Like many on the Magic Side, she's rather unfamiliar and impaired by modern technology which she's not used to seeing such as when she stuffed an entire futon into a washing machine and it flooded. Agnese also doesn't like the idea of having to speak to a foriegner in a foreign language as was shown with her disfunctional Japanese and she also has the tendancy of sleeping in her underwear and sleepwalks as well.

As the leader of the Agnese Forces, she is a powerful and relentless leader and is devouted follower of the Roman Orthodox Church. She blindy follows the orders of the Roman Church and was able to lie and maniplate Touma into having her capture Orsola Aquinas and putting her through a mock Trial of Sin. Agnese hates magicians yet she is one herself and she justifies the use of Magic and Magicians as member of the Roman orthodox Church because it's been part of the church's history and also refers to all Non-Catholics (such as Protestants/Anglicans) as animals. After her defeat by Touma, she ends up becoming more level headed and she ends up redeeming herslef and joins Necessarius along with her subordinates where she becomes a representative of Roman Catholicism in the United Kingdom. She also appears to be very concerned for Lucia and Angelene  whome she showed signs of worry while being captured and imprisoned by Biagio Busoni.
