Character from Re:Zero by Tappei Nagatsuki
The previous Sword Saint — a gentle woman who hated fighting, loved flowers, and was killed by the White Whale when the Divine Protection she never wanted was taken from her.
Theresia was the Sword Saint before Reinhard — the Divine Protection chose her against her will, making her the strongest fighter of her generation despite hating violence. She fell in love with Wilhelm, the Sword Devil, because he was the one person who fought hard enough to 'free' her from the sword. When the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint transferred to her grandson Reinhard, she was left vulnerable. She died fighting the White Whale. Her death haunts both Wilhelm (who blames himself and Reinhard) and Reinhard (who inherited the blessing that killed his grandmother). She appears in the Witch's Tea Party and in Wilhelm's memories as a gentle ghost — proof that the people the world needs as weapons are rarely the people who want to be.
Red hair, kind eyes, elegant bearing. Wore practical clothing rather than armor despite her combat role. Carried herself with reluctant grace — a warrior who wished she were a gardener.
Also known as: Theresia, Theresia van Astrea, Former Sword Saint
