Nora Arendt

Nora is a skilled shepherdess who dreams of becoming a tailor. Her companion is a well-trained sheep dog named Enek. Soft-spoken and somewhat naive, Nora lived and worked for most of her life in a convent annex that also served as an almshouse. Though effectively raised by the church, Nora becomes increasingly ostracized due to her unusual proficiency in shepherding, which the church attributes to possible pagan powers. As such, Nora is repeatedly tasked with guiding a pitifully small flock in dangerous areas of the countryside to "test" her abilities. On one of these trips, she encounters Holo and Lawrence, who stop to receive a traditional shepherd's blessing.
