In terms of looks, Lyra Beckett, the original protagonist, was naturally a top tier existence within the entire work.
In terms of sacred power, a Chosen Knight wielding a three-foot sword and clad in the Holy Armor of Light could stand toe-to-toe with Monica, the Saintess of Light, without being at a disadvantage.

A holy existence bearing an exalted status had been born in the Valeria Empire, an empire with no faith worth speaking of.
Did this represent that the self-proclaimed orthodox Church of Light had already deviated from its original path, gradually running counter to the righteousness upheld by the all knowing and all powerful Lord?
